With a thunderous roar, "Ask the Way" finally could not hold on any longer and shattered into pieces, turning into flying ash.
Ling Yi Zi trembled all over and helplessly closed his eyes. However, the next moment, the terrifying heavenly thunder he had imagined did not strike down upon him. He looked up and saw the Giant God lowering its head, its eyes showing a clear and gentle expression of comfort.
With lingering heat at his nose, the fifth wave of Fire Thunder had already disappeared.
Immediately following, with barely a breath's pause, the sixth wave of thick yellow Earth Thunder came crashing down, connecting with the previous waves at a speed that was more than ten times faster.
Without saying a word, the Giant God swung its giant sword, spinning rapidly to intercept the nine bolts of thunder.
This wave of Earth Thunder lasted for a full moment before finally vanishing again.
At this point, the Giant God stood tall and mighty, radiating five colors of light. Its body was hard and heavy, and the giant sword in its hand had become solid, emanating an incredibly powerful aura from head to toe, resembling a true deity standing upon the earth. Inside, all of Li Hong's main body avatars, including Heavenly Torch, had successfully tempered their bodies and restored their elemental balance.
Li Hong felt no joy; instead, his heart tightened. Just then, the world suddenly darkened, and an indescribable aura spread throughout the heavens and earth. Even the Seven-Colored Calamity Cloud above turned dark and eerie in an instant, losing its initial ethereal beauty. The Calamity Cloud Eye slowly opened again, but what was forming within?
Li Hong's heart sank as he suddenly recalled a legend.
The seventh wave was actually the legendary Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder!
Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder is said to be composed of substances that are opposite to all five elements of heaven and earth. It is highly corrosive; even a tiny touch would instantly turn anything into nothingness, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.
This kind of thunder had only appeared once in nearly twenty thousand years since the establishment of the Immortal Sect. The person undergoing tribulation at that time was said to be a disciple of the Kunlun Patriarch Nine Spirit Supreme Golden Mother, who was originally one of the most promising figures from that generation of Kunlun to ascend to immortality as a Great Luo Golden Immortal. However, just during the second wave, this Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder appeared, and unfortunately for this Kunlun Patriarch, he perished on the spot without even lasting a breath's time—his form and spirit completely annihilated.
Heavens! Are you playing tricks on me?!
Li Hong's anger surged. The previous Six Shadows Thunder had given great hope, yet now the seventh wave brought forth Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder—was it deliberately opposing him? No matter what happens, you will not destroy Ling Yi Zi! I, Li Hong, will never let you succeed!
The Giant God's eyes sharpened again, restoring that divine gaze—calm, indifferent, and merciless. The giant sword in its hand began to rise; that heavy golden light reflected Li Hong's heart as it ignited with fierce battle intent!
"Come on! Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"
In the distance, thousands of miles away, everyone from the Immortal Sect and Demon Sect changed color in unison and shouted loudly, "Not good!"
Xuan Xuzi reacted the fastest, gathering his voice into a line that traveled a thousand miles, shouting, "Chu Hongzi, retreat quickly! This is not something you can block!"
The Giant God radiated a cold light all over his body, standing firm like a mountain, with the giant sword already raised!
The world darkened to an indescribable extent, with only the Calamity Cloud Eye above glowing faintly, resembling a strange, enormous ghostly eye. In an instant, something floated out lightly from the Calamity Cloud Eye.
This object was not large; it was a pure black sphere about a foot in diameter, seemingly harmless and lacking any trace of heavenly thunder power. It floated out gently from the Calamity Cloud Eye. The next moment, it suddenly accelerated with extreme agility, darting straight toward Ling Yi Zi.
At the same time, Ling Yi Zi shouted, "Yandao Demon Lord, it's your turn!" Without further ado, he vanished.
Yandao was startled and had no choice but to brace himself. He could think of nothing else and had to hold the Spirit Object Celestial Pillow in front of him, feeling a prickling sensation on his scalp.
It felt like an eternity as Yandao watched the object float toward him—one hundred feet, ten feet... Before it could touch him, a flash of golden light appeared as the Giant God swung his giant sword and managed to catch the strange floating black sphere on the tip of the sword.
The giant sword immediately emitted a crackling sound as its blade silently melted away. In an instant, more than half of the giant sword disappeared. However, at least it had managed to catch it!
Yandao Demon Lord felt relieved for a moment, but the next second, his heart jumped into his throat again as he couldn't help but shout, "Another one is coming!"
Another pure black sphere floated out from the Calamity Cloud Eye—then another one—and another... In the blink of an eye, nine Dark Return to Nothingness Thunders all escaped!
Countless spiritual senses above and below were fixated on this scene, dumbfounded and feeling cold in their hands. This seventh wave of Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder had all nine appear at once except for the first one! It was unprecedented!
From the earlier situation, everyone from the Immortal Sect and Demon Sect deduced the bizarre predicament of Ling Yi Zi and Yandao Demon Lord. They sighed inwardly that Li Hong was quite a brother; however, at this moment, both Li Hong and Ling Yi Zi were clearly in danger!
Yun Jiuzi was so anxious that he felt like losing his mind. Gritting his teeth, he prepared to rush toward the center of the Desert.
Xuan Xuzi reacted quickly and forcefully pulled him back while sternly shouting, "Are you crazy? The Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder will lock onto any target that attacks it. Do you want to lure them all out? That would spell disaster for our Cultivation World! Don't move! I command you as Sect Master not to move!"
He shouted sternly, "Everyone retreat five hundred miles! If you encounter the Collapse of Heavenly Thunder, even if there is just a trace, remember, absolutely do not attempt to collect it! Remember!"
Without further ado, he forcefully pulled Yun Jiuzi back.
Yun Jiuzi sighed deeply, standing beside Xuan Xuzi, his hands trembling slightly. He could only force himself to calm down and continue looking into the depths of the dark Desert.
However, Xuan Xuzi's words reminded everyone.
When the Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder collapses, even if one could successfully collect a trace, it could be refined into the legendary Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder of the Cultivation World. This was a precious treasure that could help people overcome tribulations. Upon hearing this, countless powerful cultivators both above and below stirred restlessly. Even Du Yizi and Jiang Xuanzi, who had just arrived and were anxiously stamping their feet, were greatly tempted.
Several Beast Cultivation practitioners could no longer resist the temptation and hurriedly began searching for any treasures around them that could collect the collapsing Returnless Heavenly Thunder.
At that moment, a long howl echoed from afar, and a rolling Black Light rushed over the high mountains of the Desert like the wind. Du Yizi focused his gaze and was immediately shocked. He no longer cared about collecting the overflowing Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder and quickly rushed toward the Black Light.
In an instant, they met.
Chuxiong was seen riding on the flying Black Abyss Dragon, his tall figure approaching slowly. He looked suspiciously at the towering Giant God figure deep in the Desert and scratched his head to ask, "Du Yizi, why did my brother suddenly start transcending tribulation at this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person emerged behind Chuxiong, dressed in a bright red dress that was almost gaudy—it was Yan Luo.
It turned out that Chuxiong had sent Hui Feng back to Temple City. When Yan Luo met Hui Feng, she was delighted but insisted that Chuxiong take her out again because she wanted to see Li Hong's impressive killing style. Chuxiong had no time for arguments and couldn't persuade Yan Luo otherwise, so he had no choice but to bring her along. They happened to meet at this moment.
Yan Luo smiled and said, "What else is there to say? It must be that guy Li Hong is going to the Immortal Realm! Huh? Why does everyone seem so nervous? Don't worry; it's fine! That guy is a freak; he even managed to create such a gigantic Dharma body. Is he really going to fail his tribulation? Hehe, don't worry! Our Immortal Sect will soon have another Great Luo Golden Immortal. Du Yizi, just wait for your brother to welcome you in the Immortal Realm! Of course, I will be there too. Hehe!"
Du Yizi listened with a bitter smile. He shook his head and quietly explained the sequence of events.
Before Yan Luo could finish listening, her expression changed dramatically. She widened her round eyes and shouted angrily, "Is he crazy?! Has he lost his mind?! I knew Ling Yi Zi wasn't a good person; I never expected he would actually be the Yandao Demon Lord! Li Hong is actually helping him transcend tribulation?! Is he a soft-hearted fool or has he been brainwashed by the Demon Sect?! No way! I must go persuade him to come back immediately!" With a stomp of her foot, she was about to fly up with Ling Kong but was firmly held back by Chuxiong and Du Yizi on either side.
Du Yizi was anxious enough that his brows furrowed tightly. He said bluntly, "Yuanluo Fairy, you need to calm down! This is a critical moment; if things go wrong, my second brother will... I'm not saying you lack ability; going there would only cause chaos! Just stay here!"
Yan Luo was stunned as she looked at Du Yizi's anxious expression and then at the enormous golden figure in the distance. Her face turned pale; she finally understood that things were not as simple as she had thought.
Chuxiong saw Yan Luo's lips trembling in shock and had to search for words to comfort her. "Yan Luo, you know my brother's abilities. Don't be afraid; he will be fine. I have confidence in him."
With those words, Yan Luo's spirit was pulled back. She rolled her eyes and laughed lightly, "That's right! Who is he? We shouldn't worry about him for nothing! In this world, if anyone can successfully transcend the tribulation, it must be Li Hong. As for Ling Yi Zi, hum! If anything happens to Li Hong, we will definitely tear Ling Yi Zi to pieces! Don't you all agree with me?"
Du Yizi thought to herself that Yan Luo was truly a confused girl. If he succeeded in transcending the tribulation, he would naturally ascend to the celestial realm. Where would they find someone to tear apart? If he failed, it would mean complete annihilation of body and spirit, and there would be no need to talk about tearing apart because they might not even find a trace of his ashes!
Neither of them wanted to say much more to her and vaguely agreed while directing their attention and thoughts toward that breathtaking scene in the distance.
Although Yan Luo spoke lightly, she was unaware that her fingernails had already dug deeply into her palms. Her palms gradually turned blue and purple, beginning to bleed, yet she felt nothing at all. All she could focus on was that enormous figure in the distance, so tense that her scalp felt numb.
That towering Giant God figure was deeply etched into Yan Luo's heart at this moment.
In fact, the image of that person who smiled helplessly at her and tried to hide away had long been engraved in Yan Luo's heart; she just hadn't realized it herself.
Li Hong could no longer maintain a calm state of mind. The first Dark Return to Nothingness Thunder finally dissipated, but the cost was enormous. In a mere instant, the giant sword had completely melted away. Even more terrifying was that the subsequent eight pure black Dark Return to Nothingness Thunders surged out one after another, swiftly heading straight for Ling Yi Zi and Yandao.
