He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

Within his Sendai, the divine consciousness figure had grown many times larger than before, like a bloated fat man, radiating golden light.

He absorbed the essence of the sun for seven whole months without stopping, and it was all this liquid, the purest essence of the sun. To be honest, his spiritual avatar could no longer absorb it.

Within his spiritual miniature, he had only refined about half of the essence of the sun. The absorption rate was too fast, causing the refining speed to be unable to keep up. This liquid essence of the sun contained at least a hundred times the essence of sunlight.

Even if he used the Great Dao described in the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to evolve the divine consciousness into a black hole, it wouldn't work; the refining speed still couldn't keep up.

"However, once I get out of here, I need to go through a tribulation first," Zhou Qing continued.

"I may have to go through several tribulations of lightning in a row. I don't know which small step I am on now. I can only know after I verify with heaven and earth."

The Zhou family patriarch laughed and said, "This is a small matter. Since there is nothing else to do, let's go out now."

After saying that, Zhou Qing was put into his sleeve. The Zhou family patriarch stepped into the broken formation once again. Although he had returned to his peak, he still did not choose to break the formation with force. Instead, he walked out step by step with his understanding of the Dao patterns.

Although this corner of the array pattern is less than one-tenth of the entire array diagram, we still cannot be too reckless when facing the Emperor's array pattern.

After they emerged from the core of the Sun Star, they stepped onto the teleportation array and arrived back at the Ancient Temple of the Sun.

The Zhou family patriarch did not stop. He used his physical body to directly pass through the endless solar fire essence. The endless fire essence surrounded him, but it did not leave a single mark on his body. Even his clothes were intact.

After being far from the Sun Star, Zhou Qing was released and placed in the dark and cold void of the universe, thousands of miles away from the Zhou family patriarch.

"boom!"

A massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, countless strikes tearing through the void of the universe and illuminating the dark cosmos with dazzling brilliance.

His tribulation began, a vast ocean of lightning, sweeping across the sky and falling from the boundless universe, with swathes of lightning descending together, dazzling and intense.

In addition, countless flames also flew out from the cosmic void torn open by the heavenly tribulation.

This flame, as red as blood, resembles a cluster of epiphyllum flowers, drifting above the sea of ​​lightning. Its life is short, extinguishing the moment it burns, yet it is endless, spreading across the boundless sea of ​​lightning, forming a kingdom of fire.

Chapter 110 Humanoid Lightning

Zhou Qing stood on an endless sea of ​​lightning, his whole body radiating divine light. He was using this terrifying lightning tribulation to temper his divine body, undergoing the trials of heaven and earth, and consolidating the realm he had broken through one after another in the past few months.

Around his body were countless crimson flames, which flashed and disappeared in an instant, like the ephemeral beauty of the night-blooming cereus. They were fleeting, but never-ending. As soon as one extinguished, countless more night-blooming cereus would ignite again.

"This flame is quite interesting." The Zhou family patriarch squinted as he watched Zhou Qing undergo his tribulation from thousands of miles away.

These were flames he had never seen before, but he was, after all, a Great Sage. With just one glance, he saw some Dao patterns within these flames, which were very mysterious and profound, and were composed of a very profound Dao.

Zhou Qing stood like a pine tree, as steady as Mount Tai, unmoving, surrounded by raging lightning and blood-red flames, representing a calamity between heaven and earth.

"A fleeting flaming fire, the way of a fleeting moment!"

As the ceaseless flames of the epiphyllum approached Zhou Qing, they were immediately drawn in and merged into his body.

Every inch of his skin, every acupoint, every meridian, every bone, and every drop of his blood was fused with the flame of an ephemeral flower.

This is a calamity, but it is someone else's calamity. For Zhou Qing, it is just another change in the Pure Land of the Gods, an opportunity to become stronger.

He absorbed far too much of the essence of the sun in the Sun Star. Only a portion was swallowed by the little man of divine consciousness; the rest had already been absorbed into the Pure Land of the Gods.

His Pure Land of Gods had already silently evolved and completed, but because it had not been verified by Heaven and Earth, had not undergone the tribulation of lightning, and had not opened the rift in the void, this fleeting brilliance was delayed.

"Rumble"

The lightning tribulation surged even more fiercely, as if it were making a final burst, and its power increased several times in an instant.

Zhou Qing's brow radiated light, absorbing the sea of ​​lightning into it. He forcefully stimulated his divine sense with violent lightning, frantically refining the essence of the sun stored within.

At the same time, many human figures appeared deep within his flesh and blood, like gods sitting cross-legged.

Despite the terrifying lightning tribulation, his aura grew stronger and stronger, and his realm became more and more stable.

Gradually, the sea of ​​lightning around Zhou Qing disappeared, but the aura of the heavenly tribulation still lingered.

A sea of ​​lightning descended from the sky above Zhou Qing, but it did not attract any lightning or attack. It seemed to be brewing something, which was awe-inspiring.

"A building struck by lightning, could it be one of those legendary lightning tribulations?"

The Zhou family patriarch opened his third eye, passed through the sea of ​​lightning, and saw one ancient building after another above.

He was shocked. He had never experienced such a tribulation before, but he had heard that only the most outstanding individuals of the same realm could possibly withstand this kind of lightning tribulation.

However, although such legends existed, he had never actually witnessed such a tribulation of lightning. He had always thought it was just a guess, but he never expected to actually see it today.

"boom"

A humanoid creature lunged forward, with an eternal sacred furnace hanging above its head, its flames flickering, as mysterious and unpredictable as a god descending to earth.

"The first one," Zhou Qing thought to himself.

During this tribulation of the Sendai Lightning, there is a method that allows one to know in advance...

They can determine exactly which small step they have broken through to, without having to wait until all the tribulations have passed before checking their celestial platform.

This method involves observing the number of humanoid beings that land. The number of landing beings indicates which small step one has broken through to.

This humanoid lightning bolt was pure white, as white as jade, and incredibly holy. However, the divine furnace it stood in was crimson, as if it were forged from the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, the exclusive sacred object of an ancient emperor, dazzling and brilliant.

Zhou Qing unleashed the Gate of Chaos and bombarded it, unleashing the laws of the Great Dao.

With no outsiders here, he can openly and legitimately refine the Gate of Chaos.

"boom"

The crimson divine furnace trembled and struck back with immense power, unleashing the laws of the Great Dao.

This was an evenly matched clash, with his opponent being just as strong as him, engaging in a weapon-to-weapon collision.

"That's for the best." Zhou Qing smiled slightly.

After an unknown amount of time, another humanoid lightning bolt flew down from the ancient heavenly court above the tribulation, with a green ancient tower above its head, exuding a sense of holiness and solemnity.

"the second."

Zhou Qing drew a stream of chaotic energy from the Gate of Chaos and blasted it toward the Green Tower, instantly turning his situation into a one-against-two battle.

However, this humanoid lightning bolt is peculiar; one is of similar strength to him, and two are the same, maintaining a balance.

This time, Zhou Qing himself charged forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the two humanoid lightning bolts.

"boom"

A third humanoid lightning bolt appeared, also a humanoid being, riding in a golden ancient war chariot, rumbling as it descended from the ancient heavenly court.

Zhou Qing fought a fierce battle with them, displaying various ingenious techniques and divine light, and at one point even reached the vicinity of the ancient Heavenly Court.

After killing his way there, Zhou Qing felt a divine power that threatened to destroy his soul. It was indescribable and reached the very essence of a person, as if once you got close, it would essentially erase a person's existence.

Zhou Qing sighed and led the three humanoid lightning bolts back down.

"boom"

The fourth humanoid lightning bolt appeared, with a dark jar floating above its head, seemingly devouring the infinite Dao. Just looking at it sent chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that the rules are incomplete, and too much of the Daoist essence that descended is missing."

These humanoid lightning bolts all resembled ancient emperors, but only superficially. During the tribulation of breaking through to the Immortal Platform, they were unable to unleash most of their Dao essence; only the Dao essence of their artifacts remained relatively complete.

After a violent collision, Zhou Qing created some distance between himself and the four humanoid lightning bolts. He immediately steadied himself, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and charged forward again, engaging in fierce combat with the humanoid lightning bolts.

However, although these humanoid lightning bolts possess immense power with every punch and palm strike, capable of driving the Great Dao and utilizing the laws, they did not employ any distinctive secret techniques.

Otherwise, why would Ji Ziyue only vaguely mention the similarity of the Void Mirror, but not the humanoid lightning at all? It's because they have no connection with those ancient emperors and can't even use a unique secret technique.

"boom"

The fifth humanoid lightning bolt descended. This figure had a small tree on its head, but it was terrifying. As it swayed, it seemed to be able to unleash countless laws, annihilating all laws with a single sweep.

Zhou Qing showed no fear. His figure changed repeatedly, evolving into the Holy Fighting Technique. In an instant, he unleashed more than a dozen killing techniques, with divine light dancing around him. Each one was earth-shattering and awe-inspiring, brimming with fighting spirit.

"boom"

The sixth humanoid lightning bolt descended, with an ancient mirror floating above its head, condensing into nothingness.

Chapter 111 The Law of Imprinting

Such battles are very dangerous. Generally speaking, when facing an opponent of similar strength, it is almost impossible to emerge unscathed; it will inevitably be a fierce and brutal battle.

However, Zhou Qing's mind was working too fast. His Martial Arts Heavenly Eye allowed him to see the movements of the six humanoid lightning bolts clearly. The Foreword Secret was also constantly in operation. The two combined allowed him to anticipate the battle situation within seconds.

These few seconds of advantage allow his brain to simulate many times in an instant, thus avoiding many dangerous attacks.

These humanoid lightning bolts attacked in a straightforward manner. Although they were also very adaptable, they did not use any forbidden or unbreakable techniques; their attacks were all direct and powerful.

After a full day and night, under such intense confrontation, Zhou Qing's spirit inevitably wavered slightly, and he became careless.

Zhou Qing staggered forward a few steps, a drop of blood splattered, and a humanoid lightning bolt, using its palm as a blade, slashed diagonally across, grazing Zhou Qing's back.

Within this drop of blood, an extremely faint wisp of blood appears luminescent, with a soft, almost imperceptible glow.

Zhou Qing's divine power surged, and the wounds on his back healed rapidly, disappearing in no time.

A physique that is close to the Dao cannot show its terrifying nature in the early stages of cultivation, but becomes more and more terrifying and frightening as cultivation progresses.

The later the cultivation period, the more one needs to comprehend the Great Dao to break through, the more obvious the advantages of this type of physique become. For example, Zhou Qing, if we really want to talk about it, his current physique is not actually fully utilized.

Although compared to the innate Dao embryo who can only begin to merge with the Dao at the Sendai, he began to merge with the Dao at the Four Extremes. However, for his supreme Dao body, this was just a very simple change, and there were still too many secrets waiting for him to explore.

Now that Zhou Qing has recovered from his injuries, he charged forward again, unleashing all the secret techniques he had learned. These included not only the secret techniques created by others from various scriptures, but also countless minor secret techniques that he had occasionally developed himself.

These secret techniques vary in power and function, some are straightforward, others are unpredictable, and there are all sorts of types.

For him, it was extremely difficult to encounter an opponent of similar strength. Now that he had finally met one during the tribulation of lightning, he naturally wanted to make good use of it.

He constantly sought enlightenment in battle, demonstrating his learned and created secret techniques one by one, using practical feedback and verification to gradually improve his combat methods.

In this fierce battle, his progress was visible to the naked eye. Even when facing six humanoid lightning bolts, he was no longer as exhausted as he was at the beginning. Instead, he gradually took the initiative in the battle.

After all, the strength of the six humanoid lightning bolts was still comparable to his, and they were just crude humanoid lightning bolts, lacking the true fighting awareness of an emperor at this level.

Finally, as Zhou Qing became more familiar with the attacks of these six humanoid lightning bolts, he gained the upper hand and eventually killed them one by one.

"boom"

After Zhou Qing dispersed the last humanoid lightning bolt, a deafening roar followed, and the sky filled with lightning vanished, leaving countless bolts in the void of space.

The crack closed.

Zhou Qing's bones creaked incessantly. After undergoing a tempering process, his physical body became even stronger, and his divine sense also absorbed a portion of the sun's essence.
