Time passed quickly. Wutian had nothing to do, so he sat cross-legged in the air and began to heal his wounds.
He had used up seven of the forty strands of Heaven-destroying Battle Qi in this battle, which made his heart ache. But compared to the gains, it was worth it.
An hour later.
The green dragon's aura was so weak that it was almost undetectable. Its roars also turned into weak moans.
Seeing that the situation was about right, the Xuanwu's body trembled slightly and withdrew all of its aura. The radiance of the eleven godly bones also quickly dimmed.
The Xuanwu appeared beside Wutian with the eleven godly bones, as well as the green dragon's horns and tail bone. He asked him to take good care of them and not lose them.
Wutian nodded and put the thirteen godly bones into his mustard seed bag. Then he asked, "How's the Fire Jiao?"
"It's not a big deal. As for whether it can evolve into a fire dragon, it'll depend on its luck," the Xuanwu said. It sounded very tired.
Seeing the cracks on the Xuanwu's back, Wutian frowned and said, "Senior, can those cracks be repaired?"
The Xuanwu said, "It can definitely be repaired, but it'll take a long time. Also, because of the cracks on my shell, my strength may not be as strong as before."
"What do you mean by 'not as strong as before'?" Wutian's heart tightened. They had only reached the ninth forbidden area, and there were still a dozen more areas in the depths. If they lost the Xuanwu's battle strength, wouldn't they be in a difficult situation?
The Xuanwu comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry. My battle strength is still the same as before, but I can't risk my life like before. But now, with the help of you and the Fire Jiao, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to suppress all the emperors in the forbidden areas. If the Fire Jiao can evolve into a divine beast, it'll be even easier."
Wutian heaved a sigh of relief. Then he said, "Senior, I remember that the Fire Jiao isn't the descendant of the nine-headed serpent. Why did you say that it's a fire dragon? "
He had already thought of this question before the battle with the Green Pterosaur. However, at the critical moment of the battle, he temporarily kept it in his heart. Now that he heard Black Tortoise mention it twice, he finally could not help but ask.
The Xuanwu asked with interest, "Then tell me, what's the difference between the Fire Jiao and the nine-headed serpent you mentioned?"
Wutian was slightly surprised... and compared to the nine-headed serpent, the Fire Jiao and the nine-headed serpent. In the end, he found that the current appearance of the nine-headed serpent was very similar to the nine-headed serpent.
Seeing that Wutian didn't seem to understand, Black Tortoise kindly explained, "In fact, Flood Dragon is just a general term. There are many species under this general term, such as Water Flood Dragon, Earth Flood Dragon, Wood Flood Dragon, and so on. The Fire Flood Dragon is one of them, but their ancestors are different.
"I see." Wutian suddenly understood.
The Xuanwu sighed again. "Although they have different attributes, if they encounter an Opportunity, they may transform into wild beasts such as the Five-clawed Divine Dragon and the Five-colored Jade Dragon. The Azure Dragon was one step away from evolving into a Five-colored Jade Dragon, but was mercilessly killed by an extraterrestrial expert in the Ancient Catastrophe. That became the biggest regret of his life."
"An extraterrestrial expert."
Being reminded by the Black Tortoise, Wutian's curiosity was aroused. What kind of Saint God was the mysterious expert that destroyed the ancient times?
Was there a macro world at the end of the firmament of the Samsara Continent?
Wutian thoughtfully asked, "Senior, where else have you been except for the Samsara Continent and the Ancient Battlefield?"
The Xuanwu said, "I haven't been to the Samsara Continent."
Wutian was taken aback. This answer was far beyond his expectations.
"Alas! You may not know that the Ancient Battlefield was the place where the people of antiquity times lived. But everything has changed, and we can't go back to the past. "The Xuanwu lamented.
Wutian shuddered. Who would have thought that the battlefield where the strange creatures ran rampant was the continent where the living creatures of antiquity times lived?
"In that war, the sky collapsed and the earth sank. The sun and the moon fell. A beautiful continent was plunged into misery and suffering in less than half a day. It became a hell of Asura … I can't help but shudder when I think of that scene …"
The Xuanwu sank into deep recollection. A gush of indelible sorrow emanated from him. It was incomparably desolate.
Wutian had many questions in his mind, but judging from the Xuanwu's current state, it was obviously not the time to ask.
For a moment, the two of them fell silent, thinking about their own concerns.
"Roar!"
After an unknown period of time, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded, rolling between heaven and earth, awakening the two of them.
Looking up, Wutian's expression changed. He exclaimed, "The Fire Jiao has really transformed into a fire dragon!"
In the sky ahead, the Fire Jiao had disappeared. In its place was a fiery red behemoth!
It was tens of thousands of feet long and covered in dustpan-sized dragon scales. They had an incomparably hard texture and a sharpness that could tear the heavens and earth apart. On both sides of its mountain-like head, there were two long whiskers that were hundreds of feet long. Every time it swayed, it could shatter the void!
Especially its eyes, they seemed as if they were condensed from divine flames, and they contained a supreme dignified aura. Just by looking at it, one would actually be unable to refrain from having the impulse to prostrate themselves in worship!
"No, the Fire Jiao hasn't succeeded. Its horn and dragon pearl haven't been born. These two are the most important things, and also the proof of its transformation." The Xuanwu said.
"Boom …"
Suddenly, the sky changed color and thunder boomed!
Wutian looked up and exclaimed, "This is the sign of a lightning tribulation. Is the Fire Jiao going to undergo a tribulation?"
The Xuanwu said, "Every surviving species' bloodline has to undergo the baptism of a heavenly tribulation when their bloodline reverts. Only by successfully undergoing the tribulation can they truly transform and obtain the inheritance of memories. However, according to my observations, the Fire Jiao's heavenly tribulation seems to be a double tribulation."
"Double tribulation?" Wutian looked over, puzzled.
"That's right, it's a double tribulation!"
The Xuanwu exclaimed and explained, "No matter what species it is, when their bloodline reverts, their cultivation will increase by a small realm. The Fire Jiao's original realm was at the Celestial Being Perfection. If it increases by another step, it will be the first tribulation of the Nine Signs of Decay. In other words, the heavenly tribulation it's triggering right now, other than the blood tribulation of its bloodline reverting, there's also the grief tribulation of the first tribulation of the Nine Signs of Decay! "
"Its luck is very bad! If the blood tribulation and grief tribulation don't happen, it might still succeed. However, with the two tribulations appearing together, its power will increase by countless times. The chances of it completely overcoming it are very slim! "The Xuanwu said worriedly.
"Blood tribulation! Grief tribulation! "Wutian's mind shook as he muttered," If that's the case, I've harmed it. "
If he hadn't used the sacred medicine and only used the leaves of the Emperor medicine Green Glass Tree to heal the Fire Jiao's injuries, it wouldn't have broken through to the Celestial Being Perfection stage.
If it hadn't broken through, then now that its bloodline reverted, its cultivation would have been at the Perfection stage and it would have missed the Grief tribulation.
"Wutian, Senior Xuanwu, don't worry about me. I've waited for this moment for a very long time. I firmly believe that I will definitely succeed!" The Fire Jiao made a solemn vow. Although it said so, the two of them could clearly see the seriousness and fear in its large eyes.
"Kacha!"
A loud sound exploded in the sky. A grey tribulation and a blood-red tribulation fell from the sky at the same time.
"Grey?" Wutian was shocked and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The Black Tortoise said solemnly, "You're right. The Tribulation of Sorrow is gray. Gray represents death in the Heavenly Tribulation. There's another saying. The Tribulation of Sorrow is the destructive power of the Heavenly Dao. It's used to destroy living beings who try to go against the Heavens. In the entire ancient era, there were very few living beings who could survive such a tribulation."
Wutian hurriedly asked, "Can the Fire Jiao pass it?"
"Slim, very slim." Black Tortoise only said a few words, but it made Wutian's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.
"I'll go help him. With my body, I should be able to stop it." Wutian gritted his teeth.
"Don't go!" Xuanwu hurriedly shouted, "When the Grief tribulation and Blood tribulation come together, even your body won't be able to stop it. Even if you can, you can't help. The Fire Jiao must complete it himself."
"Why?" Wutian was extremely confused.
Xuanwu explained, "These two tribulations are different from other tribulations. Once you help him pass the Blood tribulation, the memories will be passed on to you. Not only will the Fire Jiao not receive the memories, it won't even grow a dragon pearl or a dragon horn. This means that the transformation has failed. As a result, the Fire Jiao will never have a second chance to transform."
"It's that serious?" Wutian was surprised. He hurriedly pulled back and asked, "Then what about the Grief tribulation?"
Xuanwu said, "For the Grief tribulation, there's even less reason for you to help him. Even if he successfully passes the tribulation with your help, his battle prowess will be half of that of someone at the same level as him."
Wutian rubbed his aching forehead. He finally gave up on that thought.
"A living creature that passes the Grief tribulation on its own and a living creature that passes the Grief tribulation with the help of others, the difference in battle prowess is completely different. To put it simply, the former can easily kill the latter with a wave of the hand."
Afraid that Wutian would act rashly and ruin the Fire Jiao's plan, Xuanwu explained in detail the pros and cons.
"You don't have to explain, I understand," Wutian rubbed his face and looked over worriedly. He saw the two tribulations strike the Fire Jiao.
Boom!!
The Fire Jiao was directly hit to the ground and smashed into the earth. Two bloody holes appeared where it was struck. The holes went all the way from top to bottom and blood spurted out like a fountain!
Wutian's heart tightened as he looked at the place that was covered in dust and the power of the tribulation from afar.
But to his surprise, the Fire Jiao didn't make a single sound of pain after being hit by the two tribulations.
Crack!!
The second Tribulation of Sorrow and Tribulation of Blood poured down at the same time. The might of the heavens surged and shattered the void for millions of miles. The earth below was forcefully pressed down and constantly sank into the depths of the earth. Such a shocking scene simply caused despair to appear in everyone's hearts!
With a boom, a huge bloody figure rose into the air. It resisted the enormous pressure and rushed into the sky, taking the initiative to meet the two destructive tribulations!
