212: The Daoist Imprint, the Fiery Thunder Mountain!

His body was like a broken honeycomb, bones shattered into pieces, and Meridians completely crushed.

Even the nine nether nascent soul above his head was pierced by thousands of lightning needles, riddled with holes.

Su Ling grit his teeth and frantically activated the azure roc wings on his back, pouring the remaining magic power in his body into them without reservation.

The miraculous pair of wings trembled violently, greedily absorbing the power of the Lightning Tribulation raging within him.

Then, he let out a hoarse roar: "Devour it for me!"

Before his voice had even faded, the nine nether nascent soul suddenly swelled, transforming into a purple giant several meters tall.

Within the Nascent Soul, nine dark and profound purple patterns suddenly lit up, turning into nine ferocious Yin Dragons that circled the Nascent Soul, spiraling and roaring.

The Yin Dragons opened their huge mouths, creating a monstrous suction that frantically devoured the roaring Fiendish Souls filling the sky, then fed the extremely pure Yin Fiend Power back into himself.

Su Ling's entire body shook violently; his Meridians were forcibly widened several times over under the impact of the majestic power, and mysterious patterns appeared on the surface of his bones.

Those were imprints where Lightning Dao Marks and Nine Nether Yin Patterns intertwined and fused, proof of the dual Body Tempering from the Lightning Tribulation and Yin Qi.

After a moment, the second wave of the Lightning Tribulation finally dissipated slowly.

Meanwhile, Su Ling had fallen like a meteorite to what was once the sea's surface, now nothing but empty Void Realm.

He was pulled by the residual power of the Lightning Tribulation, covered in blood and with dimmed eyes, floating quietly in the Void Realm.

Only the faint rise and fall of his bare chest proved that within this broken body, the flame of life had not yet been extinguished.

Looking up at the majestic black clouds still churning in the sky, a deep sense of powerlessness rose from the depths of his heart.

The Lightning Tribulation was not over yet!

Su Ling propped up his shattered body, struggling to sit up, and spat out a wisp of charred smoke.

Trembling, he took out two bottles of Medicinal Pills from his storage ring and swallowed them all without even looking.

The majestic medicinal power instantly dissolved, flowing like a sweet spring and rapidly repairing his broken shell... "He... he blocked it again?!"

Ye Hong was once again dumbfounded, but this time, an uncontrollable look of surprise and joy welled up in his eyes.

Judging by the scale of this Lightning Tribulation, at most only the final wave remained.

If Su Ling could truly withstand this third wave of the Lightning Tribulation... he would rewrite the history of the cultivation world and create an unprecedented miracle!

With a Nascent Soul body, he was head-on resisting a Golden Immortal rank Lightning Tribulation!

Even if it was just a reduced version, it was still a Golden Immortal rank heavenly might!

Dao Venerable Yun Miao saw through Ye Hong's thoughts but shook her head slightly and let out a soft sigh. "It will be difficult. This third wave of the Lightning Tribulation is very likely to manifest a Dao imprint left by some Dao Venerable..."

A Dao Venerable is a Peak Daluo who has complete mastery over a single Dao.

Throughout the ages, countless such existences have left immortal imprints in the Sea of Laws and Dao.

This was by no means comparable to the first two waves of the Lightning Tribulation; the power would no longer be released in layers but would instead condense into an earth-shattering strike.

Even if Su Ling had the help of that strange winged Spirit Treasure to absorb some of the lightning's power, under such an extremely condensed Dao bombardment, he wouldn't have even a moment's room to buffer.

Life and death would be decided in a single instant.

If a Dao imprint truly appeared, it would be an almost certain death situation for Su Ling.

At this thought, everyone fell silent.

Their gazes were fixed tightly on that blood-stained figure, silently praying in their hearts that the worst outcome would not occur.

The Great Dao seemed to have sensed the persistence of the one Undergoing Tribulation, as it actually granted a thirty-minute breathing space.

Su Ling didn't understand the reason and just took it as a stroke of luck, secretly feeling relieved.

But seeing this, Clear Ripple and the others felt their hearts grow even heavier with pity.

The longer the interval between the tribulation lightning, the more terrifying the power of the next wave would be.

The worst-case scenario would probably be unavoidable after all.

Thirty minutes passed under the agonizing gaze of everyone.

Relying on the powerful effects of the fifth-rank healing Medicinal Pills, Su Ling, who was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, miraculously recovered seventy to eighty percent of his condition.

Seeing this, Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple bit her lower lip until traces of Immortal Blood slowly seeped out.

Why hadn't she stuffed some Immortal Pills for him?

How could fifth-rank pills compare to the efficacy of Immortal Pills?

If he had Immortal Pills on him, they could definitely help him restore his condition to its Peak!

Even if they still couldn't help Su Ling survive this Lightning Tribulation.

At least, at least it could give him a bit more hope... At this moment, Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple's heart was filled with endless regret!

And the third wave of the Lightning Tribulation finally descended.

"Sigh..."

Dao Venerable Yun Miao, Immortal Venerable Rong Huo, and the others let out a sigh in unison.

Only Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple's eyes were filled with tears, her vision blurred so much that she could barely see the figure of her only Disciple.

Having cultivated for tens of thousands of years, as the Disciple under Dao Venerable Yun Miao who had attained the Golden Immortal stage the fastest and as the youngest Golden Immortal in the Canglang Plane, her state of mind had not experienced such violent fluctuations for many years.

It seemed that even the moment she herself attained the Golden Immortal stage was far less turbulent than today.

"Regardless of whether you fall here today..."

Clear Ripple took a deep breath, her gaze piercing through the Void Realm to rest quietly on Su Ling beneath the Lightning Tribulation, as she thought to herself, "Su Ling, you will always be my final closed-door Disciple."

...This time, the dark clouds filling the sky suddenly contracted, actually condensing into a blurry and majestic phantom.

A dao venerable imprint!

The phantom held a giant hammer entwined with endless lightning and smashed it down toward Su Ling.

The moment the Lightning Hammer fell, it transformed into a towering lightning mountain ten thousand feet high, with raging fiendish fire that burned everything atop its Peak.

This was the final killing move of the "Purple Firmament Yin Fiend Tribulation," a Fusion of the Law powers of lightning, fire, and fiend, enough to instantly annihilate an ordinary Body Integration Peak Cultivator, causing their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Su Ling looked up, not a hint of fear in his eyes, only determination and a near-manic greed.

His nine nether nascent soul turned into a brilliant purple light and completely merged with his true self.

The aura emanating from his body was no longer purely cold and Yin, but mixed with the brilliant heavenly might of the Azure Heaven Thunder.

At this moment, two completely different powers, one Yin and one Yang, actually reached a perfect Fusion and balance within his body, circulating with a mellow and harmonious Dao charm.

He suddenly threw open his arms, operating the Nine Nether Soul Devouring True Scripture to an unprecedented extreme.

Even the majestic Yin Qi that had accumulated for ten thousand years in the Guixu Cave beneath the deep sea was stirred, turning into a pitch-black pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth, crashing into his body.

The next moment, the Fiendish Fire Lightning Mountain crashed down!

"Kill!"

Su Ling let out a sky-shaking roar, and the azure roc wings on his back vibrated violently, carrying him as he charged against the sky, boldly crashing into that towering and endless Fiendish Fire Lightning Mountain!

BOOM!!!

After the earth-shattering explosion, all was silent.

"Su Ling!!!"

Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple cried out in shock.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the core area where the fiendish fire and lightning light were exploding frantically and the Laws were being annihilated.

However, the residual power of the Heavenly Tribulation had not yet dissipated, and no one dared to rashly extend their immortal sense.

"This is...?"

Dao Venerable Yun Miao's gaze suddenly narrowed, and for the first time, an unconcealable shock appeared on her face.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred!

Amidst the destructive energy filling the sky, a faint golden light flashed and vanished.

Immediately afterward, all the fiendish fire and lightning light seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, collapsing and converging frantically toward the center point like a dragon whale sucking in water.

In an instant, that majestic energy, enough to destroy a world, was completely devoured, pouring into Su Ling's right eye!

Su Ling's broken body reappeared.

A faint purple and black halo lingered around him; his body was completely charred and no longer resembled a human form.

Only the nine nether nascent soul had shrunk back to the size of a fist, hovering above his head.

The Nascent Soul was dressed in a Black Lightning-Patterned Robe, with a pair of wings woven from pure Yin Fiend and blazing lightning-fire spread out behind it, emitting a terrifying aura that made one tremble.
