Chapter 272 Zixiao's Tribulation
A lot of foundation-building cultivators from Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple died in Tianji Fortress.
In terms of the strength of cultivators in the foundation-building stage, the Spirit Beast Sect is currently the strongest in the southwest of Yunzhou.
This may be the reason why Gu Qingying was eager to annex the power of the Spirit Beast Sect after being promoted to the Golden Core.
The gate of the Spirit Beast Sect opened, and a series of cultivators rushed to all directions following Cao Rui's command.
Cao Rui himself temporarily came to the ruins of the back mountain.
At this time, in front of the Lingtan in the back mountain, the Beast Ancestor turned into a few meters long, hovering quietly in front of the Lingtan.
The Lingtan did not become a ruin along with the main peak, and it was obvious that the Beast Ancestor had protected it a little.
Its body seemed a little weak, and it had lost its former majesty.
The last battle with Gu Qingying consumed all its life essence, making it so fragile.
Zixiao seemed to feel something, and circled around the Beast Ancestor anxiously. It seemed to realize that something important was about to happen.
"Cao boy, it seems that I don't have time to listen to your story about the demons." The voice of the Beast Ancestor was particularly low, with a hint of regret.
Its eyes slowly turned to Cao Rui, and the light in its eyes was extremely dim, as if it could go out at any time.
Cao Rui's heart tightened, he could feel the strong fatigue on the Beast Ancestor's body.
He walked forward quickly, sat down gently in front of the Beast Ancestor, and listened quietly to the Beast Ancestor's final words.
"However, I know that in ancient times, the three invasions of the demons ended with the victory of the cultivators of our Qingqiong Realm."
"Cao boy, I have never seen a disciple as talented as you in the hundreds of years of my life in the Spirit Beast Sect. In the future, the Qingqiong Realm may be led by you and the demons may be repelled."
Cao Rui said softly: "Beast Ancestor, you are joking. There are so many Yuanying cultivators in the Qingqiong Realm. It is not my turn to take the lead."
Beast Ancestor just smiled faintly and did not continue this topic with Cao Rui. "Today I have seen your strength. In this way, the Spirit Beast Sect can be handed over to you with confidence."
"Before I die, I will give you the last gift."
Beast Ancestor opened his mouth and spit out his demon pill. The demon pill bloomed with the last spiritual light, turned into a black little dragon shadow, and swept into Zixiao's body.
Zixiao was shocked, and a powerful demon power instantly surged into his body, and his cultivation began to rise rapidly!
This is the demon pill inheritance of the Beast Ancestor!
After a moment, Zixiao, under the catalysis of the powerful energy in his body, involuntarily changed into a real dragon body that was a hundred feet long!
It turned out that Zixiao's strength was greatly improved under the infusion of demon power by the Beast Ancestor before his death, and he was directly promoted to the fourth level!
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness.
And the rolling thunder was a sign that the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was coming!
For human cultivators, they need to face the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation when they are promoted to the Golden Core; and for the demon race, they also need to accept the test of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation when they are promoted to the fourth level.
The Heavenly Truth contained in this is very clear: Heaven does not want to see creatures become stronger.
Only through the baptism of thunder tribulation can you prove that you are qualified to break through the bottleneck and move to a higher level.
Therefore, Zixiao must withstand the bombardment of this thunder tribulation before he can truly become a fourth-level demon!
"Thank you, Beast Ancestor!" Cao Rui bowed to the Beast Ancestor.
The Beast Ancestor smiled slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and his body gradually dissipated and turned into nothingness.
This is the end of the demon pill inheritance. Not an inch of the body will be left after death.
Cao Rui stood quietly in place, watching the Beast Ancestor's body dissipate in front of him. The people of the Spirit Beast Sect will always remember the Beast Ancestor in their hearts.
The thunder tribulation in the sky is still brewing. Zi Xiao is nervous about the threat of the thunder tribulation, and sad about the death of the Beast Ancestor. He is very excited, and the hundred-foot dragon body keeps rising and falling in the clouds.
The cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect who are rushing to various places can also see this scene clearly.
Although the Beast Ancestor is dead, the Spirit Beast Sect has a real dragon again! !
In the sky, the clouds suddenly split, and purple lightning is constantly circling and brewing, and it may fall at any time!
"Go away, Cao Rui, or you will also be affected by the thunder tribulation!"
"Don't worry, Zixiao has the blood of a true dragon, and a mere golden elixir thunder tribulation will not be a problem for him!" Tianji baby flashed to Cao Rui's side and reminded him.
Cao Rui also drove the wings of the insect race and flashed away from the main peak area.
Tianji baby followed on the side.
"I admire that dragon very much." Tianji baby sighed, somewhat regretting his disrespect to the beast ancestor before.
Cao Rui did not respond to him, his eyes were fixed on the sky.
Cao Ru looked at the anxious Zixiao, and sent a telepathic message: "Zixiao, calm down, believe in yourself, and work hard to survive the thunder tribulation and advance to the fourth level. Let's go together to kill the guy who killed the beast ancestor."
Hearing Cao Rui's telepathic message, Zixiao's hundred-foot dragon body shook slightly.
"Got it, Dad."
Perhaps it was because he inherited some of the beast ancestor's memories when he accepted the beast ancestor's demon pill inheritance, and the beast ancestor's selfless behavior made Zixiao clearly feel the strong emotions for the first time, and Zixiao obviously became much calmer.
Zixiao's hundred-foot dragon body circled up, and he roared at the purple lightning in the clouds, no longer afraid!
At this moment! Boom! A loud sound suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by a purple lightning with a diameter of several feet falling!
Instantly, the whole world seemed to be illuminated, and the purple lightning struck Zixiao with unparalleled power!
Roar! A dragon roar resounded through the sky, and Zixiao faced the purple lightning without fear.
At the moment of contact with the purple lightning, its dragon body shook violently, but then it regained its composure.
The purple lightning raged on it, making crackling sounds, but it could not cause any substantial damage to it.
Finally, with Zixiao's roar, the purple lightning was shaken away by it!
The toughness of the real dragon body was fully revealed at this moment, which was amazing.
After facing the thunder tribulation, Zixiao's eyes flashed with excitement, and the instinctive fear of the thunder tribulation had completely dissipated.
However, there was still a new purple thunder brewing in the clouds.
These purple thunderbolts were thicker and more dazzling than the previous ones. They rolled in the clouds and seemed to fall again at any time.
In a flash, boom boom boom!
Eight purple thunderbolts fell without stopping!
Each one was thicker than the last!
After the last thunderbolt fell, Zixiao's true dragon body also withered.
However, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and the sky was blue and white again.
Zixiao successfully survived this thunderbolt and officially became a fourth-level true dragon demon cultivator.
He shrank and turned into a meter-long dragon, excitedly rushing into Cao Rui's arms.
"Dad! Success!" This time, his mouth opened and closed, but he spoke directly.
After being promoted to the golden elixir, the transverse bone stuck in his throat was also refined, and he was finally able to speak human words!
