Chapter 1016: Thunder, Fire, Ice

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan was slammed heavily onto the barrier of the Dragon Clan's grand formation.

Lightning and flame coiled around him like clinging parasites, impossible to shake off.

"Xiao Huo, quick!"

Just then, Xiao Huo appeared like a spirit, forming hand seals and greedily absorbing the flames on Ye Yuan.

This heavenly tribulation fire was the most primal energy between heaven and earth.

After absorbing it, Xiao Huo's realm was visibly rising.

Seizing this gap, Ye Yuan, as if nothing had happened, began to regulate his breathing and prepare for the next wave of tribulation.

"This damned Great Nine-Nine Tribulation is already this terrifying in the fourth round. What will it be like by the ninth?" Ye Yuan cursed.

Not only Ye Yuan, but the Dragon Clan experts were also dumbfounded.

Such a terrifying tribulation was unprecedented in their lifetimes.

"Just how monstrous is this Ji Qingyun to attract such a dreadful tribulation!"

"I've cultivated for thousands of years and have never seen such a fearsome Great Nine-Nine Tribulation! This kid's talent must be the envy of heaven!"

"Look at that thing beside him—should be a primal spirit, right? Heavens, he's actually absorbing the tribulation fire! Could it be..."

"No doubt, it must be a Primal Fire Spirit! No wonder Ji Qingyun can attract such a terrible tribulation; his fortune is too good! If the Primal Fire Spirit absorbs this tribulation fire, breaking through to ninth rank is no problem!"

Xiao Huo's appearance filled all the experts with envy.

In the twenty years since his rebirth, Ye Yuan's opportunities had been maddeningly good.

The Sacred Dragon Token, bloodline power, Primal Fire Spirit—any one of these would drive a Divine King expert crazy, yet Ye Yuan had obtained them all.

No wonder he had attracted such a fearsome tribulation.

While everyone was astonished, the second wave of thunder-fire tribulation descended violently.

This time, Ye Yuan dared not be overconfident.

Being slammed onto the barrier by the tribulation was not a pleasant experience.

"Boom!"

Another terrifying thunder-fire tribulation fell, sending Ye Yuan tumbling several times.

The series of thunder-fire tribulations crashing down—the immense impact was secondary. The most dreadful was the constant erosion of thunder and fire energies.

Both tribulations were extremely aggressive. Even though Ye Yuan's physical body had broken through to the ninth rank, under such a fearsome tribulation, he was nearly overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Xiao Huo was frantically absorbing the tribulation fire, while the Magnetite Spirit Wood inside Ye Yuan was also greedily drawing in the lightning tribulation.

With these two talismans, Ye Yuan managed to endure three rounds of thunder-fire tribulation!

After three rounds, both Xiao Huo and the Magnetite Spirit Wood had reached the peak of the eighth rank!

Only one step away from entering the ninth rank.

"Not good, big brother, my tribulation is about to come too!" Just then, Xiao Huo suddenly said.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "You leave the Dragon Clan quickly and find a place to undergo your tribulation. Don't worry about me."

"Big brother, you still have three rounds of tribulation left, and they might be even more formidable than the thunder-fire ones! I..." Xiao Huo was worried about Ye Yuan and didn't want to leave.

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'll deal with whatever comes. I don't believe that a mere Nine-Nine Tribulation can strike me, Ye Yuan, dead!"

Xiao Huo had no choice but to leave the Dragon Clan and undergo his own tribulation.

Primal spirits, being creations that seize the wonders of heaven and earth, also suffer the punishment of tribulation. Moreover, the power of a primal spirit's tribulation is even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial artist.

However, Ye Yuan had taught Xiao Huo many skills, and his combat power was far beyond that of ordinary primal spirits, so Ye Yuan wasn't worried.

What worried him now was the seventh round of the Nine-Nine Tribulation, which was slow to arrive!

"Look, another tribulation cloud!" Just then, someone in the Dragon Clan suddenly exclaimed.

In fact, everyone had already seen it without his exclamation.

Beside the two existing tribulation clouds, another one had appeared!

"No... no way? That seems to be a water-attribute tribulation cloud! Could it be... that his Great Nine-Nine Tribulation will gather all five elemental attributes?"

Everyone was deeply shaken; Ye Yuan's Great Nine-Nine Tribulation was far too terrifying.

Thunder and fire tribulations were already extremely fearsome. Now with an added water tribulation, how could anyone survive?

Ye Yuan gritted his teeth in anger. This damned heaven was practically mocking him!

A three-attribute tribulation, huh? It was forcing him to use his trump card!

Ye Yuan unhesitatingly summoned the Sacred Dragon Token and began pouring divine essence into it.

With Xiao Huo gone, if he continued to endure it head-on, he would die a miserable death.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The seventh tribulation finally took shape. Thunder, fire, and ice tribulations roared down, a dazzling and magnificent sight.

But for Ye Yuan, they were lethal.

Before the triple tribulation even fell, its terrifying pressure nearly suffocated everyone!

Even an expert like Ao Duo showed a look of horror, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Go to hell! Break for me!"

Ye Yuan roared in anger and furiously unleashed the Sacred Dragon Token.

With a "boom," a terrifying wave rippled through the sky. The three-colored tribulation was forcibly blocked.

But the wave was so intense that even the Dragon Clan members, sheltered within the formation, were shaken and staggered.

Today, they had witnessed something unprecedented—such a fearsome tribulation.

But it wasn't over yet. Nine triple tribulations fell one after another. Ye Yuan no longer cared about wasting divine essence and just kept driving the Sacred Dragon Token.

Yet he also felt that even with the Sacred Dragon Token, each tribulation was stronger than the last.

The eighth round hadn't even started. If this continued, he might barely manage the eighth, but the ninth was absolutely impossible to withstand.

Relying on the Sacred Dragon Token, Ye Yuan finally endured the triple tribulation.

"This kid is almost spent. Even if he gets through the eighth round with the Sacred Dragon Token, he definitely won't survive the ninth!" the Grand Elder said, staring intently at Ye Yuan in the sky.

Ao Duo glanced at him, immediately understanding his meaning, but sighed, "I never thought we'd recover the Sacred Dragon Token this way."

"Heh heh, he brought it on himself. Who can he blame? Heaven's will is hard to defy! It seems the Dragon Ancestor has guided this from the shadows, using Ji Qingyun to return the Sacred Dragon Token to the clan!" Long Zaitian said with some satisfaction.

Ao Duo also nodded, "It seems that's the only explanation. The Sacred Dragon Token has a spirit, and it has returned to the clan in such a dramatic fashion."

In their eyes, Ye Yuan could not possibly survive this mutated Great Nine-Nine Tribulation.

The Dragon Ancestor, in the unseen, had guided the Sacred Dragon Token back to the Dragon Clan.

Just then, the eighth round of tribulation began again.

This time... a fourth tribulation cloud appeared!
