Chapter 1015: Mutated Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!

"Who in the clan is undergoing tribulation? It looks like a ninth-rank heavenly tribulation, but the pressure of this tribulation... isn't it a bit too terrifying?"

"Yeah, I feel like if I were to undergo tribulation, I'd definitely be struck dead! I've never seen a heavenly tribulation with such power; it's too terrifying!"

"Idiots, what do you know? This is a Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. It's said that when the clan leader broke through to the ninth rank, he only underwent a Medium Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"

Those who could attract a Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to Dao Xuan were geniuses among geniuses.

However, the vast majority of martial artists only faced a Small Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Those who could attract a Medium Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation were extremely rare.

Even a powerhouse like Ao Duo only attracted a Medium Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, which shows just how rare it is.

As for those who attracted a Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, they were even rarer. Throughout the entire Divine Realm, one rarely heard of anyone attracting a Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!

Beneath the tribulation clouds, amidst the storm, Ye Yuan stood in the air, causing a stir among the dragon clan.

This time, the tribulation clouds were extremely vast, almost covering the entire totem territory of the Azure Dragon clan.

In the sky, lightning danced like silver serpents, the accumulated pressure growing more terrifying, yet it was held back, giving people an intense sense of oppression.

Ao Duo gazed at that figure from afar, his face showing surprise, and said, "In his previous life, Ji Qingyun valued alchemy over martial arts. I never expected that in this life, he would display such terrifying martial talent. This martial talent is in no way inferior to his alchemy!"

"This... how is this possible? It's only been twenty years, and I thought his cultivation was all built on pills, but I never expected..."

Long Zaitian looked at Ye Yuan in the sky, speechless for a long time.

"Crackle...!"

Amidst the dragon clan's shock, the first heavenly tribulation struck through the air!

That thick bolt of lightning seemed to tear a huge gash in the sky. Even the first tribulation strike was enough to make one's heart tremble.

Ye Yuan did not hesitate; he raised his hand and unleashed the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm.

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan's body was slammed down more than a hundred feet, but he forcibly steadied himself.

This first tribulation strike was more terrifying than any he had faced before.

After all, Ye Yuan's physical body was already at the ninth rank. Although this palm strike was not his full power, its might was still formidable.

Yet, facing the heavenly tribulation, he was slightly weaker!

Seeing this, Ao Duo's expression changed drastically, and he ordered, "Activate the clan's protective formation immediately!"

With Ao Duo's shout, the dragon clan immediately burst into activity. Soon, a massive light shield completely enveloped the totem territory of the Azure Dragon clan.

Ao Duo said with a grim expression, "The Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation truly lives up to its reputation! If even the first tribulation strike is this terrifying, by the time the last one falls, won't our dragon clan be in shambles? This kid is definitely showing off to us on purpose!"

Ao Duo was truly wronging Ye Yuan; he hadn't expected to attract the Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation either.

When he underwent the physical and soul tribulations that day, they weren't so terrifying. He couldn't understand why the elemental tribulation was so fearsome.

Moreover, Ye Yuan had only heard of the Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. As for its power, he only now felt it firsthand.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."

One after another, tribulation strikes fell, but unlike the frantic pace before, this time they came quite calmly.

The intervals between strikes were very rhythmic, giving Ye Yuan some time to catch his breath after each one.

Ye Yuan's figure was struck down time and again, but he stubbornly flew back up.

The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation consisted of nine rounds, each with nine strikes. After each round, the power of the next round increased significantly.

Although the first round was fierce, it was clearly not enough to deal with Ye Yuan.

After the nine strikes of the first round, Ye Yuan's aura was slightly disordered, but there was no major change.

The second round was noticeably more powerful than the first!

Ye Yuan dared not be careless and brought out eighty percent of his strength!

Soon, Ye Yuan also got through the second round.

For the third round, Ye Yuan used almost all his strength, even unleashing the Spirit-level late-stage Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm, barely managing to get through.

Seeing this, Ao Duo's expression turned extremely ugly.

"According to Jian Bo, Ji Qingyun's dragon clan martial techniques were all taught by a mysterious person. At most, it's only been twenty years. Could it be that in just twenty years, he has cultivated the Dragon Wave to the Spirit-level late stage? This... after his rebirth, Ji Qingyun is truly strange in every way!" Ao Duo remarked.

"Indeed! Our dragon clan martial techniques are measured in centuries of cultivation. This guy has only trained for twenty years and has already reached such a level; it's truly unbelievable." Long Zaitian was also astonished.

Although they had long known that Ye Yuan had comprehended the Spirit-level late-stage Dragon Wave, seeing him execute it with their own eyes was still shocking.

Suddenly, Ao Duo's expression changed as he stared at the tribulation clouds and said, "The tribulation clouds seem to be changing. The Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation shouldn't be like this, right? What exactly did this kid do that even the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate him?"

In the sky, the tribulation clouds suddenly turned strange.

Within the originally pitch-black tribulation clouds, faint traces of pale yellow clouds appeared.

A terrifying fire-elemental energy emanated from the tribulation clouds, causing everyone to change color.

"This... this is a dual tribulation of thunder and fire! The thunder tribulation is even more powerful, and now there's an additional fire tribulation! Does the Great Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation have such a variation?" Ao Duo exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Yuan's expression was also extremely grim. He really couldn't understand why, just for crossing a tribulation, it had to be like this.

However, Ye Yuan had a vague guess that the tribulation's immense power might be related to several terrifying treasures on him.

A thousand grass-mud horses galloped through his heart. Apart from the Sacred Dragon Token, he couldn't control any of the other treasures, could he?

A flash of inspiration struck Ye Yuan, and he suddenly summoned Xiao Huo.

"Big Brother!"

After such a long period of cultivation, Xiao Huo had only barely broken through to the eighth rank, still far from the ninth.

He could hardly help in Ye Yuan's battles now.

Because of this, Xiao Huo was also very anxious.

Ye Yuan said, "This damned heavenly tribulation has actually brought down a dual tribulation of thunder and fire! This tribulation fire is born from heaven and earth, containing powerful fire elemental energy, which is a great tonic for you. In a moment, you will undergo the tribulation with me, and do your best to absorb the tribulation fire. It should help you break through to the ninth rank in one go!"

Hearing this, Xiao Huo was overjoyed and said, "Yes, Big Brother!"

Just then, a yellow and a white tribulation strike intertwined as they fell, like two dragons devouring heaven and earth, crashing down toward Ye Yuan.

The fourth round of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation came thundering down!

Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and raised his hand to unleash the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm!

But the dual tribulation of thunder and fire was immensely powerful. His Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm only held for a moment before shattering with a bang...
