Chapter 153: Successive Tribulations
"This place is extraordinary!" Zixia and Ji Ziyue floated side by side in the sky, their eyes piercing through the clouds and focusing on the strange pool of water below that was filled with five-colored divine light. By the pool, several demons were breathing leisurely.

Although Ji Ziyue was shocked, she was more confused and anxious. She murmured to herself with a hint of imperceptible anxiety in her tone: "I really got on your pirate ship! Otherwise, how could I end up in such a situation? How can I go back?"

"Zi Yue, we are indeed no longer in the Big Dipper star field. We are now in the Purple Star. Believe me, I will definitely take you back to your homeland. Although this place is not the Big Dipper, it is also home to hidden dragons and crouching tigers. My cultivation level of the second transformation of a dragon is still too shallow here. I want to make a breakthrough here!" Zixia then gently released a dragon-transforming aura, causing the little demons playing by the pool to flee in fear.

"You said that the cultivators here are stronger than Beidou? But the people I've seen don't seem to have reached the fourth level of cultivation." Ji Ziyue obviously didn't believe it.

Zixia smiled slightly and said slowly: "The Ziwei star field is vast and boundless, divided into four major parts: Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanshanbuzhou, Xiniu Hezhou and Beijuluzhou. In the past, Ziwei was invaded by foreign forces, and Xiniu Hezhou became the center of the battlefield. The Jidao imperial soldiers clashed, the dragon veins were sacrificed, and the spiritual energy was exhausted, causing the human race in this state to migrate to Beijuluzhou on a large scale in order to survive. Because of this, although you and I seem to be calm here, in fact, Ziwei is undercurrent surging, and strong people are gathering. It's just that you and I have just arrived and have not seen it yet."

Ji Ziyue was shocked when she heard this, but she was also more curious about the unknown and missed her home deeply: "So that's how it is...then why do you know this?"

"Because I am from this star region!"

"What! Take me back to Beidou quickly! I miss my brother and I want to go home!" Ji Ziyue's tears welled up in her eyes.

Zixia gently stroked Ji Ziyue's back, buried her head in her chest and said: "Ziyue, I don't have the coordinates of Beidou at the moment. Blindly traveling through the universe is undoubtedly a dead end. We must first gain a foothold here and look for opportunities. Please believe me, one day, I will take you home."

·······
The lake was surrounded by colorful lights, like a fairyland, and an indescribable dragon spirit was floating lightly. Zixia was in the middle of it, and her mind seemed to be cleansed and clear. She was immersed in a mysterious state of Taoism, and felt the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"So that's how it is. This is the place where dragons weep! Although the terrain is somewhat similar to the place where dragons bleed, it lacks the tragedy and murderous intent. Instead, it is filled with vitality and the power of creation." After many days of enlightenment, she has made full preparations to overcome the tribulation, and she has also gained some understanding of the five-colored pool.

The Land of Dragons Crying not only carries the sorrow and reluctance of the dragons’ fall, but also contains the infinite possibilities of the revival of all things and the rebirth of the world. Zixia thought to herself that even though the dragons were gone, their souls were immortal and turned into the colorful pools in front of her. Day after day, year after year, it absorbed the spiritual energy of the world in Xiniu Hezhou and quietly nurtured new dragon balls in the depths of the earth. This was also the reason why the spiritual energy of the entire state gradually became thinner.

But if anyone destroys this terrain and cuts off the dragon vein's chance of nirvana, he will surely suffer unimaginable karmic retribution. Xiniu Hezhou will gradually lose its vitality and become a dead and lifeless place.

"Zi Yue, stay away from me, I'm going to pass the tribulation!"

Before Zixia finished her words, the originally tranquil sky suddenly changed color. The clear blue sky was torn apart by lightning in an instant. Thousands of lightning flashes swept across the entire wilderness like a raging sea, and a horrifying scene appeared between heaven and earth.

The sky seemed to collapse, the darkness was like ink, and electric snakes shuttled through it, like thousands of dragons dancing wildly in the sky, and each lightning contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. With a deafening roar, it was like the roar of a unicorn, shaking the mountains and rivers, and the earth was trembling. The demon cultivators in the distance were even more frightened by this sudden power of heaven, and their eardrums were about to burst.

Even the two forces that were fighting fiercely in front of the ruins could not help but stop fighting and cast their eyes towards the distance. There, dark clouds were pressing down, and thunderstorms were pouring down like heavy rain, dense and terrifying, covering the entire space with a breath of chaos and destruction. At this moment, all living beings felt the majesty and irresistible power from the way of heaven.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..." At this time, the Five-Colored Pool was completely boiling. Apart from the thunder that could shatter human ear bones, there was no other sound. The huge thunder and lightning caused the distant mountains to collapse.

In the blink of an eye, although the lightning did not directly touch, its terrifying aftermath had destroyed countless cliffs, with rocks piercing the clouds and lightning rolling across the sky, creating a doomsday scene. At this extreme moment of chaos and destruction, the power of heaven and earth seemed to be completely awakened - the Nine Five Thunder Tribulations, the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulations, the Taiyin True Tribulations, the Water and Fire Tribulations... Various heavenly punishments intertwined into a web of death, overwhelming Zixia.

The lightning was like a rushing river, like a collapsing star field, boundless and boundless, instantly swallowing up Zixia. Within a radius of dozens of miles, everything was submerged in the lightning, and the only thing in sight was the blurred figure of Zixia struggling hard in the sea of ​​lightning.

There were not just one huge dragon flying across the sky, but thousands of them. Each bolt of lightning was as thick as a mountain, dancing wildly in the void, no different from the huge dragon.

At this moment, Zixia was sitting cross-legged in the void, submerged in the sea of ​​electricity. She was fighting against the heavenly calamity while capturing the traces of the Tao in the sea of ​​thunder. She was actually gaining enlightenment!
A divine thought shot out from her brow, like a dragon entering the abyss, attracting thousands of feet of thunder to gather. At the same time, the Universe Sword danced beside her, shining coldly, reflecting the lightning; the Feathered Green Gold floated in front of her, emitting a faint fairy light, adding infinite charm to her.

Ji Ziyue witnessed this scene from a distance, and was horrified. She had never seen such a crazy way of overcoming the tribulation. Zixia did not escape, but used her body and soul as bait to lure the thunder punishment. This courage and boldness was amazing.

The calamity contained endless truths and Dao marks of the heaven and earth. At this moment, Zixia seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth. Every inch of her skin and every bone was greedily absorbing these precious Dao marks. The Universe Blade became more dazzling, as if it had been given life. Zixia's back was like a spirit, with surging vitality. Her spine seemed to turn into a giant Kun, carrying all her strength and potential, ready to go.

The three days of dragon transformation came to an end quietly. The momentum was not as earth-shattering as expected, but Zixia's aura had steadily climbed to the peak of the three changes of dragon transformation, as if a dragon's roar was echoing in her body. Just when everyone thought that everything had returned to calm, the calamity clouds that had gradually dissipated condensed again.

Ji Ziyue was about to fly over to celebrate, but she sensed danger again and immediately retreated. Is this madman going to reach two realms in a row?

The fourth dragon transformation tribulation finally arrived. It was not as huge as imagined, not much different from the one just now, but Zixia could still feel a terrifying aura.

Ninety-nine eighty-one celestial dragons rushed over. It was not just a resemblance, it was exactly the same, with inherent magic. The dragon-shaped lightning seemed to have life, making dragon roars and pounced over.

"Bang", "Bang"...

Zixia opened her eyes, sat cross-legged in the void, and fought against Tianlong. In almost an instant, she was in a mess. Although it was not a vast sea of ​​thunder, it was even more terrifying.

"Xianyu Transforms into a Dragon Tribulation!" Zixia secretly exclaimed in her heart. The name exploded in her mind like thunder. She seemed to be able to sense that some ancient and mysterious power between heaven and earth was awakening.

The eighty-one dragons were seen circling and dancing in the sky, their bodies covered with fine scales, gleaming with dazzling light, as if real dragons had descended to the earth. Even more shocking was that as the dragons danced, divine feathers fluttered down from the sky, each of which contained supreme power, adding a bit of holiness and weirdness to this heavenly calamity.
