Everyone inhaled sharply.
For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to grow hotter.
Ye Lingluo stared fixedly at the tribulation clouds overhead, her eyes filled with shock.
Destined for Immortal Ascension...
How terrifying.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Land was truly blessed by the heavens.
They already possessed two such monsters, and now a third had appeared.
The heavens were truly unfair.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Land was far too dangerous.
"Heavenly Tribulation Fusion is significantly more dangerous than an ordinary tribulation."
Sheng Xuzi frowned.
"Can Little Yu really survive it?"
"Hard to say."
Elder Qingxuan slowly shook his head, deep wrinkles forming on his brow.
Ye Lingluo secretly clenched her fists beneath her sleeves until her knuckles turned white.
Heavenly Dao...
Please strike him dead.
Living in the same era as such a monstrous genius was simply a nightmare.
Meanwhile,
On Verdant Mist Peak, Mo Yu looked up at the heavens in confusion.
Why hadn't the Heavenly Tribulation descended yet?
Suddenly, Yan Xi's urgent voice rang out in his mind.
"Little Yu, quickly! Use all your strength to resist this Heavenly Tribulation!"
"All of the Heavenly Lightning has fused into a single strike. If you're careless, you could truly die!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Mo Yu was stunned.
Although he didn't understand the situation, he trusted Yan Xi completely.
Without hesitation, he followed her instructions.
The Golden Core within his Dantian began spinning frantically.
Vast amounts of spiritual power surged through his meridians like a raging flood breaking through a dam.
At that exact moment, a terrifying change occurred in the heavens.
A colossal pillar of golden lightning descended from the Nine Heavens.
It resembled a furious divine dragon roaring toward the mortal world, carrying enough destructive force to annihilate everything in its path.
Wherever the golden lightning passed, space itself twisted violently and exploded, as though reality could no longer withstand such terrifying power.
The air became saturated with an overwhelming aura of destruction.
"Damn it!"
Mo Yu's pupils contracted.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
Are you kidding me?
This is supposed to be a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation?
Without hesitation, he activated his Divine Ability.
Indestructible Golden Body.
A faint layer of golden radiance instantly enveloped his entire body.
BOOM!
The pillar of golden lightning crashed down onto Mo Yu with unstoppable force.
For a brief moment, the entire Verdant Mist Peak was swallowed by endless golden light.
In the distance, the gathered elders were completely dumbfounded.
Horror filled their faces.
"Can he... really survive that?"
"If it were me at the Golden Core Stage, I wouldn't have been able to withstand that strike."
"Forget the Golden Core Stage. Even at the Soul Transformation Stage, I wouldn't dare face that lightning head-on."
The elders exchanged shocked whispers.
Elder Qingxuan sighed heavily.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves to apologize to Fairy Ye."
"It seems her treasured disciple has been struck to death before our very eyes."
Clearly, he did not believe Mo Yu could survive.
Ye Lingluo simply closed her eyes.
She didn't even dare continue watching.
The scene was far too terrifying.
Not to mention her former self at the peak of the Golden Core Stage—even her current Nascent Soul cultivation would not allow her to withstand such a Heavenly Tribulation.
A mere ripple of that lightning would be enough to annihilate her completely.
The Saint of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land was undoubtedly dead this time.
The Tianyuan Continent had just lost another future immortal.
And the Nether Demon Sect had lost a future formidable enemy.
...
On the peak of Verdant Mist Peak, Xia Ningbing gazed toward the place where Mo Yu was undergoing his tribulation.
Her violet eyes, usually as calm and still as an ancient well, rippled slightly with surprise.
The world believed that the Heavenly Dao was emotionless, but in truth, even the Heavens had their own will.
As the masters of all living things, humans were naturally favored by the Heavenly Dao.
The strength of a Heavenly Tribulation was always proportional to the cultivator's power, leaving behind a sliver of hope for survival.
Yet Mo Yu's Heavenly Tribulation had been so terrifying that it had nearly reached the limits of a Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
This could only mean one thing.
The Heavenly Dao itself had determined that Mo Yu possessed the ability to withstand such heavenly lightning.
That surprised her somewhat.
However, it was only a small surprise.
Such talent might indeed be unprecedented and unmatched within this small world.
But within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, it could only be considered above average.
At best, he possessed a chance to contend for the Imperial Throne.
As for defeating her while they were at the same realm?
He was still far from qualified.
...
"Phew..."
Mo Yu let out a long breath.
That really scared me.
Fortunately, I had the Indestructible Golden Body.
Otherwise, I would probably have been bedridden for at least a month.
The Heavenly Dao is really too much.
Am I even its biological child?
He carefully examined the changes within his body.
Inside his Dantian, the original Golden Core had completely disappeared.
In its place sat a tiny figure roughly three inches tall.
The miniature figure was crystal-clear from head to toe, radiating streams of divine light and emitting a soft yet majestic aura.
It was completely different from any Nascent Soul Mo Yu had ever seen.
Just looking at it screamed one thing:
Awesome.
"Sister Yanxi, I feel like my Nascent Soul is a little different. It seems... stronger."
Ordinarily, cultivators in the first three levels of the Nascent Soul Realm possessed fragile Nascent Souls that could not remain outside the body for long.
But his situation was entirely different.
Even if his Nascent Soul left his body for an extended period, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.
Moreover, the spiritual power contained within it was far more powerful than that of ordinary Nascent Souls.
"It is a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!"
Yan Xi's voice suddenly rang out within his mind, unable to conceal her excitement.
Even Yan Xi could not remain calm.
For a moment, even she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As expected of the person she had chosen.
He truly was extraordinary.
