The visual impact had left the observing Heterodox Cultivators feeling as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on their hearts. No one could believe what was unfolding in the distance.
Only Zuo Dao understood that this was the appearance of the fifth Thunder Dragon from the Supreme Catastrophe of the Nine-Five. Even he hadn’t anticipated that the emergence of the Fifth Calamity Dragon would be so shocking and yet so bizarre.
This was undoubtedly a visual feast, an indescribable spectacle. Zuo Dao felt that he could only describe the scene before him with four words—changing winds and clouds.
It was simple, lacking any flair, but he believed it was sufficient to express everything happening at that moment.
The vast Calamity Cloud was undergoing transformations in a manner incomprehensible to ordinary people. This was a manifestation of Dao Intent Will, another incarnation of it.
Everyone derived different meanings from it, which greatly benefited the cultivation of the Cultivators. However, for Huang Xishi and Feng Miaomiao, it marked the beginning of endless killing intent.
Suddenly, the immense Calamity Cloud expanded infinitely. If Zuo Dao hadn’t been prepared to evade once more, he would have been swept into it.
At least hundreds of planets were engulfed by the Calamity Cloud, yet the two Calamity Clouds seemed to have an unspoken understanding as they avoided each other.
The planets shrouded by the Calamity Cloud perished in an instant, their last remnants of essence devoured by the Calamity Cloud, transforming into its own power.
A colossal phantom appeared within the Calamity Cloud. Zuo Dao had previously noticed that white light spots within the Calamity Cloud seemed to be summoned, attaching themselves one after another.
The Fifth Calamity Dragon was forming, and at this moment, the Two Women were being suppressed infinitely, unable to destroy it as they had when the Tribulation Dragon first emerged.
The Two Women began to lie in wait, both sides accumulating strength, each wanting to deliver a devastating blow to the other.
A voice that transcended time and space resonated throughout the starry sea, echoing across the entire Great Celestial Domain. Countless Cultivators were awakened by this voice.
In various mysterious locations across the Five Continents—Eastern Victory Continent, West Hezhou, Southern Zhanzhou, Northern Continent, Central Continent—one or several Cultivators who were meditating or recuperating all spat blood upon hearing this voice. Each person looked towards its source with expressions of terror and disbelief, but more prominently with astonishment.
In the depths of the Mo Sea, Cloud Mourning Sea, Hundred Rivers Sea, and Sorrowful Sea, several dragon roars echoed, as if in response.
The Dragon Kings of the Mo Sea, Ao Yu; the Cloud Sorrow Sea, Ao Zhou; the Hundred Rivers Sea, Ao Hong; and the Sea King of Suffering, Aohuang, no longer hesitated. In perfect harmony, they soared toward the Transcendence Location.
A dragon's roar startled the skies, and the winds and clouds shifted as they transcended tribulation.
Countless disturbances attracted frenzied cultivators, but many more chose to retreat. This was a privilege not everyone could enjoy.
Though fewer cultivators rushed toward the Transcendence Location, those who continued were all elites among elites, talents among talents.
Zuo Dao sensed something amiss. Ignoring whether his disciples were still comprehending their lessons, he gathered them all into the Nine Monoliths. Only Tai Shu Yun, Zhao Yanwu, Sitting Forgetting Five, Seven Unruly Disciples, and Nine Flows Generation remained in the area.
No one questioned Zuo Dao's actions because they deeply understood that he would never harm them.
"The situation has changed. It seems you may need to take action soon; we cannot allow anyone to interfere with their Transcend Tribulation."
Zuo Dao's voice carried a heavy tone; things were finally taking a turn for the worse. He had not anticipated that the appearance of the Fifth Calamity Dragon would trigger disturbances throughout the Great Celestial Domain.
Starting from Chaos City, several warning formations he had set up had been destroyed or sensed danger.
No one among them spoke; they simply stood firmly behind Zuo Dao, responding with their actions.
No one had crossed the Supreme Catastrophe of the Nine-Five; its final outcome remained unknown. Zuo Dao was doing his utmost to ensure that the Transcend Tribulation process for the Two Women went undisturbed.
In a vague sense, he felt this was a trap, but he did not know for whom it had been laid.
"You cannot use your own powers; that is the greatest disadvantage right now. There are two Thirteen Shadows talismans inside. Use them before the battle, and you will have a moment to kill your enemies. Before the talismans disappear, I will bring you into the Wangfeng Platform."
Zuo Dao tossed a talisman to each person, his tone serious.
"Remember, you must return to my side before the talismans lose their effect, at least within a thousand miles. Keep this in mind! Keep this in mind!"
The repeated reminders made everyone feel the gravity of the situation.
"Is the enemy very strong?" Yan Zhen asked, gently stroking the Great Guardian Sword.
"At least on the level of an Immortal Emperor," Zuo Dao replied, looking at the two massive Calamity Clouds in the distance, his voice returning to calm.
The spatial anomaly had already affected the Cultivators' perception of time; it was unclear whether years or mere moments had passed. The Pen Five Calamity Dragon finally appeared fully before them.
"Roar."
Another dragon's roar shattered countless stars and tore apart numerous spaces.
The Fifth Calamity Dragon was formed.
Two gigantic dragons, white on the outside and red on the inside, appeared before everyone. Even they did not know why they described it this way.
The exterior of the dragon was covered with countless white scales. As the dragon twisted, one could see the fiery red Calamity Cloud through the white scales.
The entire Fifth Calamity Dragon was actually formed from a complete Calamity Cloud. At that moment, Zuo Dao finally understood the terrifying nature of the Supreme Catastrophe of the Nine-Five.
He knew that as long as he defeated the Tribulation Dragon, the subsequent sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth calamities would not appear.
The Fifth Calamity Dragon was indeed worthy of its title, or perhaps calling it the fifth Tribulation Dragon would be more appropriate.
Absorbing the power of the subsequent four calamities made the fifth calamity undeniably strong. If any other Cultivator faced these two Tribulation Dragons, they would surely lose their minds.
The Tribulation Dragon traversed the starry sea, unstoppable by anything. As it flew past a planet, a trace of Fire Color energy emanating from its body touched the surface, causing the entire planet to wither and collapse. Black holes formed around the Tribulation Dragon.
Terrifying, fearsome, invincible. It was beyond human capability to contend with.
At this moment, the Two Women had raised a Light Shield outside their Beast Body, fiercely protecting themselves. They were like a Fire Color orb held in the massive jaws of the Fifth Calamity Dragon.
It was as if the dragon's pearl was being held tightly in its mouth, trying to crush and shatter it.
The two dragons played with the pearl.
Zuo Dao never expected such a scene to unfold.
The sharp dragon teeth pierced into the orb like a mountain peak; no matter how much the Tribulation Dragon shook its head or tail, it could not break it. The force of its bite was so great that even some of its teeth began to crack.
Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, the Tribulation Dragon spat out the Two Women, then delivered a heavy tail swipe against the Light Screen.
The force was so immense that the Two Women were sent flying like a shooting star. The Tribulation Dragon merely swayed its massive body and pursued them, its Dragon Claw gently closing around them once more.
In front of the colossal form of the Tribulation Dragon, Zuo Dao and his companions felt as insignificant as dust.
The power of the Tribulation Dragon was beyond comprehension, evident from the numerous black holes surrounding its massive form. Each black hole varied in size, ranging from several meters to hundreds of miles, and even the smallest one was beyond the reach of the Immortal King.
When the Immortal King encountered a black hole just a few meters wide, he could be drawn in and crushed by the immense pressure, forever lost in an endless void of darkness and space, unless he could somehow break free and leap out.
Yet, even with his Supreme True Martial Body, Zuo Dao would struggle to survive long in such a black hole.
However, the two Tribulation Dragons transformed that expanse of starry sea into a sea of black holes, gliding effortlessly among them. Their strength needed no explanation.
At this moment, the Two Women realized they were at a critical juncture between life and death, leaving no room for hesitation. Their eyes widened, revealing their striking beauty along with an overwhelming intent to kill. Two beams of light shot fiercely toward the Dragon Head.
This was their surprise attack conjured through Fate Technique. The Tribulation Dragon unleashed a Dragon Breath that dispersed the two beams of light, its residual force surging toward the Two Women.
Undeterred by their failed strike, the Two Women quickly formed hand seals, summoning a Prosperous Lotus that appeared in their palms. With a delicate shout, it flew toward the incoming Dragon Breath.
Purification.
It was unclear just how many techniques the Two Women possessed; the Fire Color lotus they unleashed purified all traces of the approaching Dragon Breath.
From the eyes of the Tribulation Dragon, Zuo Dao sensed a ripple. He detected a hint of emotion within.
Could it be that the Tribulation Dragon possessed intelligence? That was impossible; no one could survive such a tribulation—not even an immortal.
Yet the Two Women remained unfazed, continuously launching their attacks. The power behind them was far greater than Zuo Dao had imagined, and he could only feel gratified by their strength.
The Tribulation Dragon roared again, causing the entire starry sea to tremble. Its eyes flared with fury—eyes that could rival planets—shooting forth two beams of light that transformed into piercing strikes aimed directly at the Two Women.
This was clearly a type of Fate Technique previously used by the Two Women. Could it be that the Tribulation Dragon also possesses a replication ability?
The expressions of the Two Women grew serious. If that were the case, in the end, the Tribulation Dragon would master all their attack methods. Unless they could deliver a fatal blow, they would surely be the ones to fail.
The number of black holes in the starry sea was increasing, creating an extremely frightening sight. At the same time, they were devouring everything around them that could be consumed, even engaging in mutual consumption.
If this continued, even if the Two Women managed to defeat the tribulation, they would ultimately be swallowed by the singular black hole that formed.
Zuo Dao was continuously reinforcing the formation, cautiously concealing everyone's whereabouts. For now, there was no need for them to protect themselves; with those endless black holes around, no one dared to target them.
The battle nearly shattered this part of the starry sea. Zuo Dao even caught a glimpse of the scene beyond the starry sea through a crack in the shattered space. Endless darkness seemed to hide a presence of light deep within it. However, the moment was too fleeting. In that brief glance, Zuo Dao seemed to have discovered some great secret.
Yet he had no time to dwell on it; what mattered most was the Two Women.
The Tribulation Dragon had already become an embodiment of Dao, rampaging against the Two Women. The Light Shield surrounding them began to sway precariously, threatening to shatter at any moment. Yet it held firm time and again.
Electric arcs flickered between the giant claws of the Tribulation Dragon as lightning spears rained down like arrows. The Two Women summoned their courage and unleashed countless profound seals to counteract the devastating strike.
The starry sea resembled a painted scroll, with each stroke left by the Two Women and the Tribulation Dragon becoming increasingly vivid until they could no longer be undone.
Zuo Dao felt a shock within; it turned out that battle could also be as beautiful as poetry…
