113: Chapter 112 Dragon Transformation Tribulation

An immense fear swept through its entire body. The dragon curled up its body, staring at Ye Qingxuan with eyes full of dread, temporarily casting even the Heavenly Tribulation to the back of its mind.

Just as it was panic-stricken, Ye Qingxuan's Divine Sense transmission slowly landed in its mind: "There is no need to panic. Just focus on dealing with your Tribulation of Transforming into a Dragon. This Daoist will not make a move against you."

As the Divine Sense transmission fell into Ao Ping's mind, the dragon hovered above the sea surface, its body covered in myriad layers of azure scales, yet the dread in its heart did not diminish in the slightest.

It could clearly perceive that the strength of the person before it was simply not something it could resist. At this moment, it could only forcefully suppress its panic and turn its head to stare closely at the churning tribulation clouds above its head.

"Roar! !" After a dragon roar.

Its aura was completely released, and the majestic coercion of Return to Void Perfection instantly swept across the entire South China Sea, immediately alarming the entire Blue Star.

The monitoring satellites of various countries around the world all locked onto the airspace of the South China Sea, and foreign high-level officials and netizens in front of their screens instantly exploded in uproar.

"Oh my god! It really is a flood dragon! A creature from Huaguo's mythology!"

"What kind of terrifying entity is this! Its aura is ridiculously strong!"

"It's a dragon! It's the dragon from Huaguo's legends! Quick! Go and capture it. If we can research something out of it, Huaguo will no longer be anything to fear!"

Countless foreign forces harbored greed in their hearts, intending to dispatch high-end weapons and superpower units to capture this divine dragon.

But just as the teams were preparing to set out, the figures of Ye Qingxuan and Duyuan suddenly appeared in the satellite footage.

Ye Qingxuan had long since perceived the prying eyes from all directions, and he looked up and smiled faintly at the high-altitude satellite.

With just this simple smile, all the forces around the world attempting to make a move instantly turned ice-cold all over, their livers and gallbladders splitting with terror.

Everyone instantly recalled the terrifying scene from two days ago when Ye Qingxuan casually obliterated hundreds of millions of people, causing them to completely experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Not a single person dared to move recklessly; they all obediently stopped their actions and only dared to watch the battle from afar through the screen.

At the same time, all top Cultivators on the Blue Star perceived this terrifying Return to Void aura.

Just as everyone was filled with shock and doubt, Ye Qingxuan gently released a wisp of his aura to signal that everyone need not panic.

Before long, thousands of streaks of light flashed across the sky. The lowest among the arrivals were all in the Nascent Soul Stage.

Even the slowest Nascent Soul Cultivator had a speed of thirty to fifty Mach. Within just dozens of seconds, over a thousand Cultivators gathered together in the South China Sea.

Master Yuanxin, Yuanhui, Qingming, Qingyun, and Qingmo arrived first.

Qingling brought the sword spirit closely behind. Upon seeing Ye Qingxuan, the sword spirit directly transformed into a ray of light and merged into his body.

"Master, your woman is so terrifying!!"

She was truly terrified of Qingling. During this period, Qingling had continuously taught her how to act fierce and make others afraid, but the expressions made by the sword spirit only made people want to bully her.

Looking at the sword spirit that looked identical to her with that pitiful appearance, Elder Sister Qingling felt extremely ashamed, staring at the sword spirit with a look of disappointment in her failure to improve.

Looking at the memories shared by the sword spirit, Ye Qingxuan speechlessly looked at this Elder Sister Qingling.

The various Senior Brothers had expressions of wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Xiaojiu transformed into the appearance of a small cat, directly leaping onto Ye Qingxuan's shoulder, rubbing its face against his unceasingly.

"Master, Senior Martial Uncle, Senior Brother!" Ye Qingxuan greeted them.

Before long, Master Yuanyi, Master Kongming, Li Qiye, Celestial Master Zhang, Wang Songxi of Wudang, and other powerhouses from various sects all arrived on the scene.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan and Duyuan to the side, they stepped forward one after another to bow in salute.

Seeing this, Duyuan also returned the salute. Ye Qingxuan did not move; after merging with the Dao, he also perceived the changes in himself—without a certain level of Luck, one simply could not withstand a bow from him.

The people present were all from major sects and understood Ye Qingxuan's situation, thus minding it not at all.

The Tribulation of Transforming into a Dragon only existed in the records of ancient classics, and no one in the present world had ever witnessed it with their own eyes. All the Cultivators were unwilling to miss this epoch-making scene, densely suspended high in the sky and quietly watching from the sidelines.

Xiaojiu clutched Ye Qingxuan's shoulder and asked curiously: "Meow, Daoist, is this the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Qingling chuckled from the side: "You little foodie, this is the Tribulation of Transforming into a Dragon. Qingxuan, this flood dragon has an extremely strong aura. Is it in the Return to Void stage? It doesn't seem to be a creature from the Blue Star?"

Many Sect Heads and Senior Brothers around also looked over, waiting for Ye Qingxuan to speak and dispel their doubts.

"Return to Void Perfection, from..." Ye Qingxuan looked up at the sky.

Everyone understood and was also deeply shocked. A flood dragon at Return to Void Perfection—if it truly went berserk, no one other than Ye Qingxuan could defeat it.

Duyuan stood quietly to the side of the sea surface and asked softly: "Fellow Daoist, do you think this flood dragon can get through the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Ye Qingxuan's gaze pierced through the thunder light and landed on Ao Ping, his tone calm:

"It cannot get through. This flood dragon, while seemingly at Perfection, is actually completely self-taught, lacking orthodox Legacy to polish its Foundation."

"Its Physical Body and demonic power are impure, and its Physical Body cannot withstand the tempering of the heavenly thunder. The only commendable point is that through years of bitter cultivation to survive, its Divine Soul, honed between life and death, is extremely condensed. Aside from that, there are flaws everywhere; failure in Undergoing Tribulation is already destined."

Duyuan nodded slightly and said with understanding: "I see. No wonder I observed that its aura was not quite right, but I couldn't discern the root of the problem."

Ye Qingxuan stroked the small cat on his shoulder: "Therefore, Xiaojiu, you must not neglect the polishing of your Foundation."

The small cat looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, twitched its ears, and its eyes were filled with fear. "Meow, the Daoist is bad, he only knows how to scare this meow!"

Ao Ping on the sea surface below did not yet know that its shortcomings had long been seen through. It only remembered accidentally encountering Jigong in the Earth Immortal Realm back then.

Jigong had sent it to the Blue Star—where Spiritual Qi was recovering—to undergo Undergoing Tribulation, saying only that if it succeeded in Undergoing Tribulation, it would stay here to protect the common people, and if it failed, its Divine Soul would still be preserved.

At that time, Ao Ping considered its Physical Body to be formidable and agreed readily, which was why it was sent to this South China Sea.

At this moment, the tribulation clouds in the firmament churned crazily, and blue-white thunder serpents darted wildly among the dark clouds. The first streak of heavenly thunder crashed down abruptly.

The thunderous roar stirred up towering sea waves. The thunder struck the flood dragon's spine, causing large areas of its surface scales to shatter, and fresh blood mixed with seawater splashed everywhere.

Ao Ping let out a muffled dragon roar, mobilizing all its demonic power to resist head-on. The azure light on its surface vibrated violently, barely blocking this attack.

The Cultivators in the air exclaimed in amazement: "Such a strong Physical Body! It easily carried through the first bolt of thunder!"

"As expected of a true dragon descendant! Although this heavenly thunder looks dangerous, it can't harm its Foundation at all."

Only Ye Qingxuan watched coldly from the sidelines. This strike of heavenly thunder had already fractured the Meridians beneath its skin, and its impure demonic power had begun to disorder and collapse, though it could not be seen from the outside.

One bolt of heavenly thunder after another came in rapid succession, with their power stacking layer upon layer.

Ao Ping's entire body was covered in wounds deep enough to see bone, and its dragon body trembled violently. Every time it endured a thunder strike, its imbalanced Foundation inside its body shattered by another fraction.

Its Divine Soul was stable enough to keep it conscious, but its Physical Body was already on the verge of its limit, simply unable to withstand the continuous scouring of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Duyuan looked at the struggling flood dragon and sighed softly: "No matter how good the Divine Soul is, if the Foundation is incomplete, it ultimately cannot endure the baptism of the Heavenly Dao."

Ye Qingxuan responded: "The Tribulation of Transforming into a Dragon focuses on reshaping the flesh and blood Dao Foundation. Its Physical Body is impure and cannot withstand the tempering of thunder, so failure is inevitable. Only its condensed Divine Soul can be considered rare; no doubt that is why that person sent it over."

Deep within the clouds, all tribulation power completely gathered together, converging into an ultimate shocking thunder that pierced through heaven and earth. The aura of the entire sea area instantly froze.

All Cultivators held their breaths, wholeheartedly waiting to witness the birth of a true dragon.

The pitch-black clouds suddenly burst open, and a blinding, heaven-piercing bolt of shocking thunder smashed straight toward Ao Ping's massive body.
