Li Mu's Divine Thought stirred, and he appeared outside with the Chaos Town Yuan Disk.
At this moment, the White Feather Spirit Eagle was trembling with fear from the lightning in the sky, its eyes filled with lingering terror. Seeing its master, Li Mu, it flew over joyfully and let out an excited cry.
"It's alright! You go rest for a bit!" Li Mu took down the Painting World Treasure Mansion hidden around the White Feather Spirit Eagle's neck and said with a smile.
The White Feather Spirit Eagle seemed to have received a great pardon. With a flap of its wings, it quickly flew to a distant place, but still occasionally looked back with its sharp eyes to see what its master was doing.
Li Mu simply waved his hand, releasing the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk to undergo Tribulation.
Li Mu had long mastered a clever method to avoid artifact tribulations, creating a Formation called the "Heavenly Evolution Stealth Formation."
The "Heavenly Evolution Stealth Formation" could guide Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, allowing the newly formed Dao Artifact to integrate with Heaven and Earth, blurring its boundaries of existence, thereby avoiding the direct perception of the Heavenly Dao's will.
However, that was for mass refining Dao Artifacts, Dao Pills, and Dao Talismans, and there was a high probability of failure in Undergoing Tribulation. Thus, Li Mu had no choice but to use a clever trick to make it avoid the Heavenly Dao's will and block the Lightning Tribulation.
Li Mu had high hopes for the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and had no worries about its successful Undergoing Tribulation. It was not an ordinary eighth-tier Dao Artifact; it contained the Chaos Origin Power, encompassed the Dao Laws of space-time, Karma, and Years. It was a supreme treasure that could connect Heaven and Earth and reverse the Universe. If it successfully Underwent the Heavenly Dao Artifact Tribulation, its power would be fully unleashed.
Although the Heavenly Dao Artifact Tribulation was extremely perilous, it was also an opportunity. The artifact tribulation was a baptism for the Dao Artifact. If the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk successfully Underwent Tribulation, it would gain the Heavenly Dao's recognition, perfect its own Dao Laws, and the Chaos Power contained within it would become purer and more powerful, possibly even unlocking mysterious abilities that Li Mu had not anticipated.
Moreover, Li Mu had other ideas for this Heavenly Dao Artifact Tribulation.
As the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk slowly ascended, Li Mu focused intently, watching the gestation of the Heaven and Earth Lightning Tribulation. The sky was as dark as ink, covered in dense dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling. A vast Heavenly Dao will pressed down from the sky, and the Lightning Tribulation began to brew. In the center of the dark clouds, a thunder pool composed of thick purple lightning bolts rapidly condensed, with electric arcs jumping and the power of lightning raging and surging, as if it could tear apart this space at any moment.
As the Heavenly Tribulation thunder pool formed, the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth became extremely violent, and a destructive aura permeated the air.
"Zzzzt!"
A deafening thunderclap sounded, and a purple lightning bolt, like an enraged Dragon, streaked across the sky, piercing through the thunderclouds and pointing directly at the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk, containing terrifying power of ultimate destruction.
The Chaos Zhenyuan Disk floated in mid-air, flowing with Chaos light, heavy and serene, emitting a faint Spiritual light, forming a stark contrast with the violent lightning. Facing the Heavenly Dao lightning that could make all things tremble, it showed no fear.
The moment the lightning struck, the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suddenly rotated rapidly, instantly forming an independent Domain that gathered Years, Karma, and space-time. This independent Domain was like a miniature Universe transcending the outside world; Years became slow here, Karma was skillfully woven, and space-time was distorted beyond recognition.
"Boom!" With a thunderous roar, the purple lightning Dragon arrived in an instant, plunging into it.
The next moment, as the purple lightning entered this Domain, it seemed to fall into a quagmire, its speed plummeting and its power gradually weakening.
Lightning flashed, and purple lightning bolts continuously rained down, like raindrops.
However, the dense purple lightning struggled arduously within the independent Domain formed by the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk. Thick electric arcs were bound by an invisible force, trying to break free from the space-time shackles that restrained them. Yet, as the lightning deepened, its light gradually dimmed at a visible speed, and its violent power dissipated in the flow of Years and the weaving of Karma, finally turning into tiny electric threads that merged into that mysterious independent Domain.
Li Mu floated in the air, intently watching this contest between the Lightning Tribulation and the Dao Artifact, his face showing unconcealed joy. The power displayed by the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk far exceeded his expectations. Relying on its own artifact Dao Origin and its profound understanding and application of space-time, Karma, and Years Laws, it easily resisted the first wave of Lightning Tribulation, even absorbing the lightning Origin Power of the artifact tribulation in such a manner.
Just as Li Mu thought the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk would easily pass this Lightning Tribulation, a sudden change occurred.
The Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation seemed to be enraged. The thunderclouds surged, and the purple lightning of the thunder pool turned into silver lightning snakes, shimmering with cold and eerie light. They coiled and weaved in the thunderclouds, forming a more complex and powerful lightning net.
The silver lightning net was completely different from the previous purple thunder pool. It contained a purer Heavenly Dao will. The lightning snakes continuously spat out electric light, accompanied by the distortion of space and the dislocation of time. They seemed to be ancient powers summoned from the Void Realm, targeting the Dao Laws of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk to completely destroy it.
"Crack!"
The first silver lightning Dragon broke through the thunderclouds. The next moment, the silver thunder pool seemed to ignite, and silver lightning Dragons, one after another, densely bombarded down.
Facing this overwhelming and impenetrable silver lightning Dragon, the Chaos light flowing from the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk became even more dazzling. The disk body rotated rapidly, driving subtle changes in the surrounding space-time. The Chaos light flowing on it instantly surged several times, forming a dazzling Chaos light screen that blocked all the overwhelming silver lightning Dragons.
Above the light screen, Years flowed, Karma intertwined, and space-time distorted, forming a complex and exquisite defensive system to resist the attack of the silver lightning Dragons.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The silver lightning Dragons continuously bombarded the Chaos light screen. Intense collisions were accompanied by deafening thunder and spatial tremors. At this moment, the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk was like an unyielding warrior. No matter how fierce the lightning Dragons were, it held its ground, continuously absorbing the power from the Lightning Tribulation and transforming it into its own Origin.
As the silver lightning Dragons' bombardment became more intense, the Chaos light screen formed by the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk, though still tough, began to show subtle ripples. Li Mu inwardly became vigilant. He knew that this was only the beginning of the Heavenly Dao Artifact Tribulation, and even more powerful Lightning Tribulations were yet to come.
Just then, the thunder pool above the thunderclouds changed again. The originally silver-white lightning snakes gradually transformed. Their color deepened, finally turning into dazzling red lightning, shimmering with hot and sacred light. The red lightning was different from the previous purple and silver; it contained a more extreme Dao meaning, the essence of the Heavenly Dao's will, specifically targeting the various abilities displayed by the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
"This is... the final form of this Lightning Tribulation?" Li Mu was startled. Under his perception, the Dao meaning contained in the red lightning had exceeded all previous Lightning Tribulations and was very likely to cause damage to the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
"It's time!" Li Mu's expression turned grim, deciding to help the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
The next moment, Li Mu's Divine Thought stirred. The Painting World Treasure Mansion in his hand flashed with Spiritual light, and Xue'er, Green-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin, Ink Jade Rock Lizard - Xiao Wa, Azure Moon True Dragon, Azure Jade Ginseng King, and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix all revealed their forms.
"Li Dage! What is this?" Xue'er looked at the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk undergoing artifact tribulation in the sky with astonishment, awed by the terrifying power of the Lightning Tribulation.
"Master!"
Xiao Jin and the others' expressions slightly changed, also startled by the power of the Lightning Tribulation.
"This is the Formation Artifact I just refined - the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk. Now, I need your Natal Dao Artifacts to perfect the artifact Formation Dao Laws and help it successfully pass this tribulation." Li Mu looked at Xue'er and the other spirit beasts with a serious expression, instructing them.
"Alright, Li Dage!" Xue'er readily agreed, summoning a perfectly round Yin Pearl without hesitation.
Xiao Jin was not to be outdone. With a wave of his hand, a golden long staff flew out from his body.
Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix waved her hand, and a Fire Feather Spirit Fan slowly unfolded in her hand. Fire patterns flowed on the fan's surface, seemingly capable of unleashing a destructive fire storm at any moment.
Azure Moon True Dragon let out a low growl, and the Azure Moon mark on his forehead glowed brightly. A Dragon Scale Dao Sword flew out from the mark, its surface shimmering with moonlight like water, carrying a rich Water Element Power with its fluctuations.
Azure Jade Ginseng King slowly extended his hand, and a warm, verdant wooden staff flew out. The staff body flowed with powerful life fluctuations, containing endless vitality and restorative power.
Ink Jade Rock Lizard - Xiao Wa opened his huge mouth and spat out a reddish-brown small square seal, possessing the power to control the earth, emitting a heavy Earth Element Dao meaning and powerful might.
"Good!" Li Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation at the sight. The six supreme Divine Rune Dao Artifacts were nurtured very well by them.
The next moment, Li Mu waved his hand, and a yellow Extreme Yang Pearl emerged. He then cast the Divine Ability - Soul Fusion Technique, using one mind for multiple purposes, controlling the seven Five Elements and Yin and Yang Divine Rune Dao Artifacts, and integrating them into the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk that was Undergoing Tribulation.
At the same time, under Li Mu's control, the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk also released its ultimate form, transforming into a massive Formation Diagram that encompassed the seven Five Elements and Yin and Yang Divine Rune Dao Artifacts, using them as Formation eyes to complete the Formation.
The correct version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar is the first to publish this novel.
The massive Formation Diagram slowly unfolded. Chaos Qi and the power of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang intertwined on it, forming a complex and perfect Chaotic Dao Domain with the three great Dao Laws of space-time, Years, and Karma, connecting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and activating all Laws.
Li Mu's mind sank into the Formation Diagram, feeling the changes in the Dao Domain. His hands quickly formed seals, and he chanted incantations, guiding the seven Divine Rune Dao Artifacts to operate along specific trajectories, continuously perfecting the Chaotic Dao Domain of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
As the Formation Diagram operated, the space around the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk began to twist and deform. An independent Chaotic Domain composed of the ten Dao meanings of Five Elements, Yin and Yang, space-time, Years, and Karma gradually formed. Within this Domain, the Five Elements generated and countered each other, Yin and Yang were balanced, as if it were a Small World independent of the outside world, possessing endless vitality and restorative power.
"Boom!"
Just then, the thunderclouds and thunder pool in the sky boiled. Red lightning bolts roared out like enraged Dragons, carrying the oppression of the Heavenly Dao's will, and slammed into the Chaotic Domain where the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk was located.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
The lightning erupted into dazzling sparks on the barrier, releasing destructive power, but all of it was resolved by the Five Elements and Yin and Yang power within the Domain, transforming into nourishment for the growth of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
As the Lightning Tribulation continued, the red lightning attacks became more ferocious, but the Domain where the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk was located became more stable, like an indestructible fortress, repelling all attacks.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of lightning striking the barrier was deafening, but Li Mu remained unmoved. He fully focused on controlling the Formation Diagram, guiding the seven Divine Rune Dao Artifacts to continuously release power, perfecting the Dao Domain of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
Finally, in the thunder pool in the sky, the last red lightning bolt whistled out, carrying the final strike of the Heavenly Dao's will, and slammed into the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk. However, the moment this lightning touched the Chaotic Domain, it was swallowed by an invisible force, and the violent lightning power rapidly disappeared without a trace.
"Rumble!"
As this lightning disappeared, the thunder pool in the sky also collapsed with a roar. The dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight once again bathed the earth. Everything returned to calm, and golden Spiritual light continuously sprinkled down, merging into the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
With the dissipation of the Lightning Tribulation, the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk slowly floated in mid-air. The Chaos light flowing on it gradually converged, becoming introverted and profound. When the last wisp of lightning power was completely absorbed by the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed from its disk body. Within this light, there was rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Law power, as if it were the essence of Heaven and Earth gathered together.
Under the illumination of this light, a profound Heavenly Dao Artifact Rune slowly emerged on the disk body of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk. This artifact rune was complex and exquisite, containing the ultimate truths and mysteries of Heaven and Earth, perfectly integrating with the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk's own aura, making it emit an unspeakable majesty and sacredness.
"This is... a Heavenly Dao Artifact Rune!"
Li Mu saw the golden artifact rune that appeared and smiled slightly, saying with surprise.
Heavenly Dao Artifact Runes can only be condensed by artifacts recognized by the Heavenly Dao after they have successfully Undergone Lightning Tribulation, symbolizing an increase in grade.
With the condensation of the Heavenly Dao Artifact Rune, the aura of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk also underwent earth-shattering changes, becoming a perfect artifact foundation, an Extreme Dao Artifact possessing the power of Heaven and Earth Laws, its might so strong that it could make anyone pay attention.
"Congratulations, Li Dage!" Xue'er said with joy.
"Congratulations, Master, for refining a Divine Artifact, successfully Undergoing Lightning Tribulation, and increasing its grade!" Xiao Jin and the others all stepped forward to congratulate, their eyes gleaming with excitement and awe, shocked by the transformation of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk.
Li Mu smiled happily, recalled the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk, and then returned the several Natal Dao Artifacts to Xiao Jin and the others.
"The Zhenyuan Disk was able to successfully Undergo Tribulation this time thanks to your help. Your Natal Dao Artifacts also absorbed a trace of Heavenly Dao Power during the process of assisting the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk, gaining a significant improvement." Li Mu said with a smile, indicating.
Upon hearing this, Xue'er lowered her head to look at the Extreme Yin Dao Pearl. She saw that the originally dim patterns on it were now faintly glowing with golden light, as if nourished by a mysterious power, appearing more vibrant and powerful. "It's true, Li Dage, the Extreme Yin Dao Pearl seems to have become even stronger."
Xiao Jin waved the golden long staff in his hand. A more dazzling golden luster flowed on the staff body, and a light tap of the staff tip even stirred up circles of golden ripples. "Hehe, my Golden Adamantine Staff has also become harder and more powerful!"
The spirit beasts happily checked their Natal Dao Artifacts, all pleasantly surprised. They hadn't expected their Natal Dao Artifacts' quality to truly improve, now only a step away from advancing to the next grade. (End of this chapter)
