Wang Daoyuan flew to the volcano on his sword and came to the top of the crater.
The crater was only a hundred feet in diameter, and the lower he went, the bigger the space.
Waves of heat gushed out from the crater. After all, it was a level-four mid-grade lava lake. Even in a stable situation, it couldn't be underestimated.
The lava lake was only thirty thousand feet from the crater, and the Snow Dragon Volcano was twenty thousand feet high.
The lava lake here was ten thousand feet below the ground.
Using his Divine Sense, he probed the walls of the crater. Just near the crater, there were a large number of Poisonous Lava Fire Scorpions.
However, these guys were of low grades, only second-grade mid-grade.
They seemed to be underage scorpions.
The lower he went, the higher the grades of the Poisonous Lava Fire Scorpions.
Near the lava, there were more than ten third-grade upper-grade Poisonous Lava Fire Scorpions.
These guys weren't very big, only five or six feet long.
However, the size of a third-grade spiritual insect couldn't be judged by its appearance. There were too many demonic beasts and spiritual insects that could change their size.
Wang Daoyuan didn't plan to subdue the scorpions. They didn't have a queen like bees, and he could control a group of them by controlling the queen.
Since he couldn't subdue them, he couldn't leave any of them alive for Zhou Luan's safety.
Scorpions were very sensitive. It was impossible to sneak up on a third-grade upper-grade Poisonous Lava Fire Scorpion.
As soon as he entered the crater, he was discovered.
He took out the Azure Dragon Pearl, and a twenty-meter-long azure dragon phantom flew out. The life force of the Poisonous Lava Fire Scorpions within a hundred feet of the pearl was instantly sucked dry.
These guys were of too low grades and had no resistance to the Azure Dragon Pearl.
Seeing that their companions were killed, the third-grade Poisonous Lava Fire Scorpions below attacked Wang Daoyuan.
They used their tails to shoot out flame needles with a trace of black gas, which were obviously poisonous.
Wang Daoyuan didn't take these spells head-on. He flew out of the crater on his sword to avoid the spells.
Zhou Luan needed to form her core in the crater, so she needed to stay here for a few months.
He couldn't cause too much of a commotion to avoid attracting demonic beasts. He needed to get rid of these Poisonous Lava Fire Scorpions as soon as possible.
He transformed the earth and fire attribute spiritual energy in his body into Dust Returning Flame and True Sun Fire.
Casting the Meteor Fall Technique, the flaming meteors smashed into the volcanic crater one after another.
After many improvements, the Meteor Fall Technique was extremely powerful.
These scorpions weren't stupid. They didn't dare to take the meteorites head on.
Wang Daoyuan's goal was not to kill these scorpions, but to ignite the magma lake below.
The meteorite was made up of flames, and it instantly ignited the lava.
He took out the Vermilion Bird Fan and gently fanned it a few times. The earthy yellow and scarlet-gold flames formed a fire tornado in the crater of the volcano.
Wherever the fire whirlwind touched, no life could survive. Even the rocks were incinerated.
Those Rank 3 Venomous Lava Fire Scorpions used their innate spells to attack the fire whirlwind, but the effect was minimal.
Soon, all of the Venomfire Scorpions were dealt with by the Fire Whirlwind.
The Poison Fire Scorpion was unwilling to just sit there and wait for its death. It did its best to escape towards the mouth of the volcano.
Wang Daoyuan had been waiting for them to come. He activated the Azure Dragon Pearl again, and every Venomfire Scorpion that came out died.
After a quarter of an hour, there was not a single living thing left in the crater.
The life force stored in the Azure Dragon Pearl was also full.
However, he didn't let the Azure Dragon Pearl refine the life force.
Zhou Luan would definitely be injured after the tribulation. The life force would be left for her to heal.
The dead Venomous Lava Fire Scorpions were all burned to ashes.
Although it was Wang Daoyuan who came looking for trouble, he didn't feel guilty.
The fight for survival between the alien species was a life-and-death struggle.
In every beast tide, tens of thousands of humans died at the hands of the alien species.
Killing one more demon beast meant that dozens, hundreds, or even more people would die in a beast tide in the future.
After cleaning up the crater of the volcano, he took back the Rootless Fire.
The Crimson Yang True Fire remained in the magma. It could burn the magma and produce a large amount of fire spirit qi, which would be of great help to Zhou Luan's Core Formation.
Zhou Luan came to the crater of the volcano and smiled. "I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to finish off a nest of Venomous Lava Fire Scorpions so quickly."
Wang Daoyuan raised his head and said proudly, "Of course. In the future, you'll realize that you underestimated me in many ways."
Zhou Luan steered the flying boat and landed by the lava lake below. She found a clean place and sat down cross-legged.
Wang Daoyuan didn't think of setting up an array formation to resist the Thunder Tribulation.
Unlike Dharmic weapons, array formations couldn't resist the Thunder Tribulation.
That was because the spirit qi in the array formation didn't come from the person undergoing the tribulation.
Therefore, the Thunder Tribulation would see it as an external object and strengthen it.
To weaken the Thunder Tribulation, one could choose a place with special terrain.
For example, if one underwent the tribulation in the crater of the volcano, the water and metal element Thunder Tribulations would be weakened by the magma.
Such a naturally formed terrain was also a manifestation of the laws and wouldn't cause the Thunder Tribulation to strengthen.
Zhou Luan condensed her Golden Core in the crater of the volcano while Wang Daoyuan stood guard around her. If any demonic beasts approached, they would kill them without exception.
After staying here for half a year, there was finally some movement in the crater of the volcano.
A strong wave of spirit qi was emitted from the crater of the volcano.
Soon after, a crimson ball with a diameter of seven inches appeared and slowly descended.
This was the Golden Core. Once the Golden Core fell, the Thunder Tribulation would soon descend.
Dark clouds began to appear in the sky and there was a pressure that covered an area of fifteen kilometers.
Wang Daoyuan immediately cut off his connection with the Rootless Fire in the lava lake to avoid being recognized as an external interference by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Then, he retreated fifteen kilometers away from the crater of the volcano.
More and more dark clouds gathered in the sky and finally formed a cluster of dark clouds with a diameter of fifteen kilometers. The center of the cluster of dark clouds was facing the crater of the volcano.
Soon, a bluish-white thunderbolt as thick as a child's arm descended from the sky. The Thunder Tribulation had officially descended.
The power of the first Thunder Tribulation was very weak. Even a peak Zifu Realm cultivator could easily withstand it.
Zhou Luan took out a fourth-tier low-grade fiery-red shield and directly blocked the first Thunder Tribulation.
Ten breaths later, the second bluish-white thunderbolt descended from the sky. This thunderbolt was already as thick as an adult's arm.
However, Zhou Luan's shield was strong enough and the second Thunder Tribulation did not cause much damage to it.
Another ten breaths later, the third bluish-white thunderbolt descended. This thunderbolt was as thick as a water bucket.
Zhou Luan's shield still managed to withstand this thunderbolt. However, the light of the shield was somewhat dim.
The nine Golden Core Heavenly Tribulations were divided into three groups. After each group of Thunder Tribulation, there would be a fifteen-minute interval. The person undergoing the tribulation could use this time to recover from their injuries.
After fifteen minutes, the fourth Thunder Tribulation descended. This thunderbolt was already golden in color and its thickness was the same as the first Thunder Tribulation.
After Zhou Luan's shield received this thunderbolt, a huge crack appeared on it.
Soon, the fifth Thunder Tribulation descended. The shield was directly shattered, and part of the thunderbolt struck Zhou Luan's body.
However, she had a special constitution after all and only suffered minor injuries. She took out a fourth-tier low-grade mirror.
The sixth Thunder Tribulation descended. The mirror was shattered and the power of the thunderbolt was exhausted.
Zhou Luan took out a healing pill and consumed it to recover from her injuries.
Fifteen minutes later, the purple thunderbolt descended.
Zhou Luan took out a fourth-tier low-grade magic weapon to block it. After the Thunder Tribulation destroyed the magic weapon, it also caused some injuries to her.
After the eighth Thunder Tribulation destroyed the magic weapon, about thirty percent of its power fell on Zhou Luan's body.
She was seriously injured and spat out a mouthful of blood.
When the ninth Thunder Tribulation descended, Zhou Luan took out her magic weapon and condensed the phantom of a Scarlet Luan to resist it together.
After the magic weapon was destroyed, the phantom of the Scarlet Luan dissipated. However, more than half of the spiritual power fell on Zhou Luan's body.
This time, the spiritual power in her body fluctuated between strong and weak. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, blood kept seeping out from the corners of her mouth.
After the ninth Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation, the five magic weapons that Zhou Luan prepared were all destroyed and she was seriously injured.
She immediately took a healing pill and drank a jar of hundred-year spiritual peach dew.
After recovering her injuries and spiritual power, she prepared to deal with the minor divine power tribulation.
For her, the Thunder Tribulation was just an appetizer. The last minor divine power tribulation was the main course.
This tribulation could not be resisted with ordinary magic weapons. She could only rely on her natal magic weapon and minor divine power to resist it.
