Chapter 535

This Heavenly Thunder was the Green Thunder of the Fairy Mansion that Shi Xuan was quite familiar with, but its power was close to the third level, surpassing any of Shi Xuan's fairy skills.

The thunder was not fast, but it was graceful and leisurely, showing the free and unfettered style of immortals. It made people involuntarily relax their nervous and tired Primordial Spirits, making it difficult for them to raise their resistance.

On the barren plain that was not covered by ice and snow, there were volcanoes that were much larger than the previous six. There was no white smoke at the mouth of the volcanoes. Instead, there was a faint layer of dark green gas that was almost black. If one looked closely, they would find that it was made up of tiny dark green flames that were as small as powder.

A deep green flame as thick as a mountain spewed out from the crater and went straight to the sky. Wherever it passed, it became cold and gloomy. It seemed that all the hot air was absorbed by the flame, and even the space was no exception. Layers of frost appeared, making the Arctic within a radius of nearly a thousand miles return to its original appearance, and a thick layer of ice appeared on the frozen ground again.

When the seventh heaven's punishment came, Shi Xuan still did not break through the obstacle of condensing the black and white gas, but Shi Xuan had cultivated his Taoist Heart for so many years. Even in a desperate situation, he would seize the slim chance of survival. Now he still had the power to take the seventh heaven's punishment, how could he panic and lose his mind!

Even if after the seventh heaven's punishment, he had not broken through the obstacle and condensed the black and white gas, he would not sit still and wait for death. In any case, he had to fight, even if he had to explode his natal magic weapon to buy time to absorb the Heavenly Thunder.

When crossing heaven's punishment, because the power of the Primordial Spirit could not come out of thin air, without the surrounding Spiritual Qi, using Suiyu Tactics could only increase the power of the fairy skills. If the power was increased, the consumption would also be greater, which was the way to death.

With a calm mind and clear Primordial Spirit, Shi Xuan put away the Six Paths of Reincarnation and divided the Four-image World-destroyer Sword into two, one above and one below, and set up two Small Heavenly Stars Formations. This was the limit of Shi Xuan's mind, and at the same time, he used up the remaining 30% of the power of the Primordial Spirit, leaving only the two wisps of black and white gas.

Shi Xuan was like sitting in the starry world, with the vast starry sky above and below. Countless stars were shining in the night sky, bright and beautiful, making people feel relaxed and happy.

In the face of the power advantage of the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire, Shi Xuan would not turn the Small Heavenly Stars Formation into a giant starlight pillar and break it with force. Instead, he unfolded the formation, which was deep, complex, and mysterious, making it difficult to distinguish north, south, east, and west, to fully weaken the Thunder and Earthly Fire.

After falling into the Small Heavenly Stars Formation, the behavior of the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire was completely different. The Heavenly Thunder directly shattered the stars, starlight, Sword Qi, and part of the sword formation, trying to break through. The Earthly Fire began to burn from the lowest star in the vast starry sky. Whether it was the starlight, Sword Qi, or space, they all ignited with a dark green flame, as if they wanted to completely destroy the whole sword formation.

Unfortunately, the power of the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire had not reached an absolute advantage and could not use force to break through. In the Small Heavenly Stars Formation, the stars and starlight were born and then extinguished. When the sword formation in front was broken, it was followed by a few more. As long as the Myrtle Imperial Star, which was the eye of the formation, was not destroyed, the Divine Abode's Green Thunder and Earthly Fiend Yin Fire could only be trapped in the formation. They were in a stalemate with the Small Heavenly Stars Formation and were gradually weakened.

After using the Small Heavenly Stars Formation twice, the power of Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit was completely exhausted. Immediately, his Primordial Spirit entered a strange state. It was dark and gloomy, like chaos. The source of this was when Shi Xuan broke through the void and merged with the True Spirits. He had comprehended the Nameless Beginning of Heaven and Earth, turning his Primordial Spirit into chaos to accommodate the contradictory and diverse True Spirits.

In this chaos, there were only two rays of light, one black and one white. They intertwined with each other, trying to condense into one. As they constantly changed, the Primordial Spirit of Chaos resonated with them and was guided by them, causing changes that Shi Xuan did not expect!

Around the black and white Qi, the Primordial Spirit of Chaos actually started to evolve into Yin and Yang!

Feeling the attraction of the first wisp of Yin and Yang towards the black and white Qi, Shi Xuan had an idea. He sank the black and white Qi and merged them into it.

With a jolt, Shi Xuan immediately felt that the divine essence of the changes of Yin and Yang that he had comprehended was reflected in this wisp of Yin and Yang that had merged with the black and white Qi.

As the wisp of Yin and Yang merged with the Primordial Spirit, the seemingly non-existent obstruction disappeared without a trace. The wisp of Yin and Yang stopped evolving. The black and white Qi began to intertwine and slowly condense into one! It started to spin rapidly and collapse!

As it rotated and collapsed to the extreme, a deep hole that was ten thousand times smaller than the tip of a needle abruptly appeared out of thin air at the center of the condensed black and white gas. The color of the hole was black but not black, white but not white. It was dark and gloomy, showing a deep color!

Looking at it, the black hole was deep and mysterious. It seemed to be able to suck in one's gaze and cause one's vision to collapse!

In the center, there seemed to be a blurry Dao Seed character. It was surrounded by the characters of Heaven Creation Yang and World Creation Yin.

The black and white Qi and Chaotic True Spirit around the black hole were completely absorbed in a short moment, causing it to slowly expand. However, at this moment, the power of the Primordial Spirit was completely gone. If the black hole wanted to expand, it was like cooking without rice and fire without a source. It was difficult to do.

…

The green Heavenly Thunder and Dark Green Yin Fire were finally consumed to the limit in the vast starry sky. They turned into tiny green lightning and dark green flames that filled the sky.

As soon as these lightning and flames appeared, they seemed to be attracted by something. From all directions, they were cast toward Shi Xuan's body, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air. They were like rivers flowing into the sea, mighty and unstoppable. At the same time, they were like fireworks blooming in the opposite direction, beautiful and shocking.

So many green lightning and dark green flames continuously and endlessly entered into Shi Xuan's body. However, Shi Xuan's body was like a vast sea. He didn't mind them at all. He didn't reject them at all. However, he was silent and didn't move at all. It was extremely strange and it made people's hair stand on end.

At this moment, in the low hanging dark clouds, the green Heavenly Thunder parted the dark clouds again. It was surrounded by Immortal Qi and struck down, causing dense green Qi to appear in the air. On the ground, a volcano with dark green Qi that was almost black rose from the ground. In just a short moment, it became a tall and magnificent volcano. It spewed dark green and cold flames, causing huge hailstones to float under the volcano. The ground was covered with a thick layer of frost.

The eighth heaven's punishment had arrived!

At this moment, the surroundings of Shi Xuan's body suddenly dimmed. It was as if all the light had been sucked into Shi Xuan's body. Then, a dark, ancient, and deep Chaotic Hole appeared and covered his body.

The Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire arrived at the same time and hit the Chaotic Hole without any resistance. However, nothing happened. The Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire drilled into the Chaotic Hole silently. There was no other movement. The Chaotic Hole was still deep and dark. It was as if the eighth heaven's punishment had never descended.

Rumble! Thunder and explosions rang out from the depths of the dark clouds, one louder than the other. Because they all happened in a single instant, ordinary cultivators only heard a single sound that shook the heavens and the earth!

As this sound rang out, the dark Chaotic Hole suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole. Then, it suddenly expanded and became bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, the Chaotic Hole filled the world. It was connected to the dark clouds above and the earth below!

The black lead cloud was like a whale swallowing the sea. It rolled in all directions towards the center, and the center involuntarily flowed towards the Chaos Hole.

Just as the blue Heavenly Thunder was brewing in the dark clouds, it was completely absorbed and swallowed by the Chaotic Hole, leaving only a dark, chaotic space.

On the Frost Plain, the volcano had just risen when it was uprooted. Half of the mountain peak, the crater, and the dark green flames were thrown into the Chaotic Hole without any struggle. It was as if they were going to the light.

The dark clouds disappeared, and the sky was bright again. It was high and vast, without a cloud in sight. It was cold and refreshing. The earth was quiet, and the ice and snow were still the same. It was as if the Chaotic Hole had swept away the evil atmosphere of the world and returned it to peace.

The second heaven's punishment, the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Tribulation, was over!

…

The huge Chaotic Hole first stopped quietly in midair, and then it shrank rapidly. When it was only a few dozen feet in size, it suddenly shrank inwards, and Shi Xuan's figure appeared.

Shi Xuan's face was pale, and his breathing was uneven. The main reason was that after he mastered the Yin Yang Chaotic Hole Divine Light, he had turned into a Chaotic Hole and forcefully resisted the Heavenly Tribulation, which caused him to suffer serious injuries. Although the Yin Yang Chaotic Hole Divine Light was a fourth-rank celestial technique, he had just mastered it, and his Primordial Spirit was insufficient. He could only frantically convert the power of the Heavenly Thunder, which injured his Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, when he converted and resisted the last bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation, the two forces offset each other, causing Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit to be almost depleted, causing him to enter a period of weakness. Fortunately, there was no space to separate him, so he could absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to recover.

Injuries were injuries, but Shi Xuan was in a good mood. He had successfully passed two Heavenly Tribulations and mastered the Yin Yang Chaotic Hole Divine Light, so how could he not be happy?

In addition, after the Heavenly Tribulation, his Primordial Spirit's Yin Qi would be converted into Pure Yang, and he would know Yin and Yang, understand the mysteries of heaven. Without relying on the [Innate Eight Trigrams] and [Tai Chi Diagram], he would be able to sense danger and calculate. Moreover, he would have a basic understanding of the Dao Transformation Dao, and could convert Spiritual Qi into ordinary materials without any signs of life, including ordinary materials, low-grade materials, and mid-grade materials. For example, he could directly convert bronze into iron essence.

Shi Xuan took out the Yin and Yang Dual Qi Bottle and drank a drop of sweet dew to stabilize his injuries. He then slowly landed on the snowy hill where Lady Yu was. He had already understood why the Treasure Record didn't mention anything about the obstacle. It was because it was something that came naturally, there was no need to mention it. Moreover, there was also a hidden test of the Dao Heart. If he panicked and lost his state of mind when facing the obstacle, he would no longer be able to condense the Heavenly Tribulation. Instead, he would focus all his attention and thoughts on resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.

Stepping onto the snowy hill, Lady Yu smiled at Shi Xuan and said, "Although I'm your senior, I still have to congratulate you on passing the Heavenly Tribulation and taking another two steps forward on the Great Dao."

"Thank you, grandma." Shi Xuan didn't act pretentiously and accepted it. The danger and pressure of passing two Heavenly Tribulations without relying on secret treasures and immortal arrays was not something other Enlightened Masters could compare with.
