Gu Feng spat fiercely, using all his strength, and shouted, "Nonsense! What heartless Great Dao of Heaven and Earth! I refuse to believe it!"

To alleviate the immense pressure above him, Gu Feng decided to go all out and threw out all the defensive cultivation artifacts from his white jade Ring Storage!

These items were collected over time for emergencies, and the tribulation just now felt like a tickle to him, so he didn't use them.

But now, it was a matter of life and death, and Gu Feng knew that no one could help him but himself!

In an instant, countless artifacts were hurled into the sky by Gu Feng, only to be crushed by the thunder tribulation's phantom finger!

The spiritual energy radiance from the destruction of various artifacts bloomed like fireworks!

After a pause, the phantom finger formed by the thunder tribulation suddenly retracted back into the thunderclouds.

Gu Feng thought it was over, but soon the thunderclouds roared again, and a massive finger emerged from the clouds with incredible speed and overwhelming force, like Mount Tai descending!

"Damn! This treacherous heaven can gather strength?"

Staring blankly at the endless lightning above, Gu Feng felt a wave of despair!

He knew this was the final thunder tribulation; if he survived, all would be well; if not, it would be the end!

Gu Feng closed his eyes, quickly mobilizing the True Core throughout his body, and the Heavenly Insight Mysterious Embryo Strategy within him operated at high speed, but the Innate Dao Embryo had long been subdued by the previous thunder strike.

Whether he could withstand it depended on luck!

Just as despair set in, a faint white glow emerged from the depths of his spiritual sea, slowly drifting toward the Innate Dao Embryo, and a gentle voice echoed in Gu Feng's consciousness!

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is heartless, but the human world is full of love..."

Gu Feng recognized this voice; it was the remnant soul's voice that emerged from his body when Xia Lengling cornered him on the outskirts of West City. In other words, it was his mother's voice!

The white light used its last spiritual power, transforming into countless stars in the depths of Gu Feng's spiritual sea, finally converging into the Innate Dao Embryo!

The weary expression on the Innate Dao Embryo's face vanished instantly, replaced by transcendence and ease.

It leaped from Gu Feng's spiritual sea, emerged from his body, and pointed fiercely at the descending phantom finger of the thunder tribulation in the sky!

The small finger collided bizarrely with the massive towering finger!

At that moment, the entire world seemed to freeze!

After a while, the phantom finger in the sky gradually disintegrated, transforming into countless butterflies and petals...

The Innate Dao Embryo took a deep breath, absorbing all the butterflies and petals into its belly, then spun around, patted its stomach, and re-entered Gu Feng's body.

In the depths of Gu Feng's spiritual sea, the Innate Dao Embryo expelled the seven-colored thunder tribulation power, the true form of those butterflies and petals, representing the will and essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The seven-colored thunder tribulation power repaired the cracks in Gu Feng's spiritual sea, finally surrounding the already-formed pill within, slowly beginning to refine this nascent Golden Elixir.

As the thunderclouds slowly dispersed, Gu Feng sat peacefully in place, his face serene. His tribulation was over, and he was now consolidating his cultivation and techniques, waiting for the power of heaven and earth to refine his Golden Elixir, a process known as forming the elixir.

For most cultivators, the process of forming the elixir after a tribulation is instantaneous, but Gu Feng was different. Having endured over five hundred thunder tribulations in the Golden Elixir Realm, especially the rare Saint Thunder for the last one, his Golden Elixir was of exceptionally high quality! The process of forming the elixir was unusually slow!

Gu Liantian hurriedly approached Gu Feng, finding him still in the process of forming his elixir, a trace of unease appearing on his face.

Though the tribulation had passed, the disturbance in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would inevitably affect the surrounding area for thousands of miles.

At this moment, many powerful hidden cultivators from overseas must have sensed the anomaly here, yet Gu Feng was forming his elixir and could not be disturbed.

Complications were inevitable!

Sure enough, it wasn't long before several powerful Divine Senses approached the small island where Gu Feng was crossing his tribulation!

Such a disturbance inevitably attracted attention!

Jiu Long cautiously observed the darkness in the sky, and after sensing with his Divine Sense, he transmitted a message to Gu Liantian: "There are seven in total, three at the Spirit Dividing realm, and four at the peak of the Elemental Infant Realm..."

Sensing the fluctuations of these Divine Senses, Gu Liantian's expression turned solemn.

He flew into the air, gathered his True Core, and cupped his hands, shouting loudly, "Gu Liantian, City Lord of Heroic Spirit City in the Eastern Region Divine Continent, greets fellow Daoists. My son has just crossed a tribulation here, and I apologize for any disturbance. I kindly ask for your understanding!"

In the night sky, apart from the Buddhist Chant of the Great Dao from Gu Feng forming his elixir, there was no other sound.

Gu Liantian stood in the air, his white brocade robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes suddenly shining brightly as he deliberately unleashed his peak Spirit Dividing realm cultivation, causing the previously calm Boundless Sea to surge with towering waves.

Jiu Long also soared into the sky, thick black smoke billowing from his seven orifices, and behind him appeared the shadow of a black dragon's head, majestic and fearsome.

"What a monstrous beast! Let's get out of here!"

A voice of astonishment suddenly echoed from the sky, followed by silence.

Jiu Long quietly sensed and quickly transmitted to Gu Liantian: "Two have left, one at the Spirit Dividing realm, and one at the peak of the Elemental Infant Realm!"

Nodding solemnly, Gu Liantian closed his eyes, constantly monitoring the movements of the remaining five.

After a while, a hearty laugh came from the sky!

"Hahaha, since it's the beloved son of City Lord Gu crossing a tribulation, we brothers won't cause trouble. Farewell!"

Gu Liantian smiled slightly and cupped his hands silently toward the void, "Thank you, Daoist friends, for your understanding!"

"Two more at the peak of the Elemental Infant Realm have left, leaving three!" Jiu Long reported the situation to Gu Liantian in real-time.

At this moment, Gu Liantian still felt a bit uneasy. It was clear that these seven overseas rogue cultivators were not a group; otherwise, it could have been really troublesome.

Gu Liantian pondered for a moment and asked the void, "Do the three Daoist friends not wish to give me this small face?"

"Gagagaga..."

A sinister laugh echoed, chilling to the bone, neither male nor female, and the owner of the laugh continued, "Face is earned, not given. It's just that your little one has such high talent, even attracting the Saint Thunder Tribulation. I, Ancestor, practice the Heavenly Demon Hundred Ghosts Scripture and need such pure Golden Elixirs for nourishment. Such a good opportunity, these old bones can't move away!"

Jiu Long's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Want to kill and seize the elixir? Let's see if you have the ability!"

"Ancestor, why waste words with them! I'll handle this monstrous beast, and Ancestor and Daoist Kui can directly attack that old monster at the peak of the Spirit Dividing realm!"

Another voice chimed in, openly discussing strategy in front of Gu Liantian and Jiu Long.

Gu Liantian squinted, quickly locking onto a cloud layer in the void, and with a flick of his sleeve, he thrust his right hand fiercely toward it!

A golden hand phantom appeared across the sky, swiftly striking with lightning speed!

No one expected Gu Liantian to be so decisive, using the Gu Family's ultimate technique, "Void Shattering Hand," right away!

The cloud layer was directly shattered by the giant hand, scattering with a roar, revealing a nine-foot-tall Daoist priest with a face full of terror, the one who had spoken last.

At this moment, he felt his cultivation inexplicably sealed within his Elemental Infant, unable to move, becoming a flightless bird in Gu Liantian's hand, struggling in vain.

"Ancestor Wan Ku! Save me!"

"Too late, no one can save you!"

Gu Liantian's face was cold with killing intent, and he raised his hand, squeezing fiercely toward the void!

"Boom!"

The Void Shattering Hand's manifestation crushed the tall, thin Daoist into dust, turning his Elemental Infant to ashes!

Gu Liantian appeared courteous, but his actions were ruthless. Since negotiations failed, there was nothing more to discuss!

In just one move, he eliminated a potential threat.

The Cultivation World is like this; most of the time, when fighting, it's either you die, or I perish!

Caught off guard by the sudden change, even Jiu Long was stunned, and at this moment, a demonic wind suddenly swept through the sky!

Countless skeletons emerged from the void, wailing and howling as they flew toward Gu Liantian!

Gu Liantian quickly summoned a spherical cultivation artifact, which instantly expanded into a massive umbrella-shaped shield, blocking the countless skulls outside.

A gaunt old man appeared in the void, holding a bone staff, his wrinkled skin sagging on his face like a long-decayed corpse.

"Gagagaga, to withstand my Ancestor's Ten Thousand Skeleton Ghost Formation, you are indeed a formidable opponent."

Gu Liantian snorted, punching to scatter the countless skulls, and behind him appeared a massive phantom, his own external incarnation!

Ancestor Wan Ku sneered repeatedly, summoning dozens of shriveled skeletons, all corpse puppets he had refined, and without a word, he engaged in battle with Gu Liantian.

A tall figure slowly emerged, none other than the previously hidden Daoist Kui!

He had remained hidden due to fear of Gu Liantian's cultivation, but now that Ancestor Wan Ku had engaged the opponent, he had no more fear. As for Jiu Long, although his cultivation was higher, Daoist Kui believed he could handle him.

Looking at Gu Feng, who was nearing the final stage of forming his elixir, Daoist Kui smirked, "Ancestor, hold this one for now, I'll go take that junior's Golden Elixir and offer it to you!"

His words sounded noble, but he was merely trying to take advantage of the situation.
