The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

The vast, boundless void was dark and deathly silent.

With Gu Qing's arrival, the void gathered, thick dark clouds covered the sky, and red lightning flashed.

"World-destroying lightning tribulation..."

Gu Qing's expression changed slightly.

There are different levels of tribulation lightning.

These are the ordinary nine-thunder tribulation; as long as you pass through all nine heavenly thunderbolts, you are considered successful.

The Three-Nine Thunder Tribulation consists of three waves and nine lightning strikes.

The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation consists of nine waves and nine tribulations of thunder, totaling eighty-one heavenly thunderbolts.

The better the aptitude, the higher the level of the tribulation.

The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is the mark of a monstrous genius.

Above that is the Purple Heaven Thunder Tribulation, which lasts for nine days, cleansing the acquired body. Those who pass through it can transform into those with innate foundations.

The world-destroying lightning tribulation—that's not a lightning tribulation at all, it's a lightning punishment!

Any existence that is intolerable to Heaven and Earth will be subject to a world-destroying tribulation of lightning, which will also last for nine days.

"System, what evil have I done? Why am I being punished with world-destroying lightning?"

Gu Qing was extremely flustered.

According to records, only those who commit heinous crimes, destroy the world, or are heretics are subject to the world-destroying lightning punishment.

[Host, you are a heretic! And you've killed so many chosen ones; the tribulations will only become more terrifying in the future.]

The system's gentle, magnetic voice was tinged with doubt. The attribute panel clearly marked it. Gu Qing couldn't have been unaware of it all along, could he?

"..."

Careless.

Gu Qing had a smooth journey and completely forgot about this.

[Relax. Your physique is comparable to a sacred artifact, possessing the power of blood regeneration. Combined with the Calamity Black Dragon and the Primordial Ruyi Tower, the World-Destroying Thunder Punishment cannot harm you.]

Moreover, the cataclysmic lightning punishment is both destruction and rebirth; after surviving it, the host's physique will undergo a transformation.

The system explained.

If Gu Qing couldn't cross, He would have warned him long ago.

Therefore, everything is under control.

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing had happened.

“Heretical…” Zhi Meng stared blankly at the World-Destroying Lightning Punishment, muttering to herself, her heart churning with turbulent waves.

This is an existence recorded only in legends, an anomaly of the heavens, one that has vanished.

What merit does she possess to accept a heretic as a disciple?

“It could also be a demon, who knows?” Ji Ning interjected.

She remembered Gu Qing's calamity-inducing black dragon.

Gu Qing certainly didn't receive the world-destroying lightning punishment because of his heinous crimes.

After all, killing only a few people is no big deal.

The only explanation was that calamity-ridden black dragon. Just one glance at it made her feel like she was about to fall into an abyss of demons, her inner demons would grow rampant, and her soul would be corrupted.

That calamity-causing black dragon is the source of evil, an existence that Heaven cannot tolerate.

"Oh!"

"Tell me!"

Zhi Meng finally realized, belatedly, that she didn't understand Gu Qing at all.

"I am not sure as well."

Ji Ning shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either, and gestured for her to watch Gu Qing undergo his tribulation, then she would understand everything.

“Is that so!” Zhi Meng looked at the World-Destroying Lightning Punishment.

His eyes were filled with worry, after all, this was a world-destroying lightning punishment, capable of annihilating all living things.

Without the help of a treasure, it's impossible to get through this on your own, even if your physique is comparable to a divine artifact.

boom!

Crimson lightning illuminated the boundless void; the world-destroying divine lightning, as thick as a bucket, carried the power of annihilation and shattered Gu Qing's Star God Fist and divine body in a single strike.

Gu Qing's physical body instantly reformed, but the world-destroying divine lightning raged within him like a leech, destroying all life.

If it cannot be destroyed in time, all life will be annihilated by the world-destroying divine lightning in no time.

Gu Qing hurriedly activated the Chaos Undying Scripture and used the Chaos Treasure Bottle Seal to refine it, transforming it into pure life force containing innate essence.

Before the next world-destroying divine lightning could descend, Gu Qing had a thought, and the Calamity Black Dragon soared into the sky, its enormous body seemingly capable of bursting the galaxy.

The countless stars seemed as insignificant as dust before the calamity-ridden black dragon.

Each dragon scale shimmered with an evil, dark light, like an endless abyss of darkness that devoured everything.

"Hi~"

The two people watching from afar took a deep breath, their expressions filled with horror.

The moment I saw the Black Dragon of Calamity, I felt an instinctive fear and instinctively wanted to run away.

It's terrifying and evil.

The ferocious and terrifying dragon head, if you look at it for too long, is as if you will be corrupted and fall into the abyss of hell.

The aura it exudes is extremely evil and demonic, and cannot be looked at directly.

Zhi Meng finally understood why Gu Qing dared to attack the Qin family.

With such an evil black dragon around, let alone the mere Qin family, they could roam freely throughout the heavens.

Her disciple has become the strongest being in this dimension, fearless and unrestrained.

Boom boom boom!

The world-destroying divine lightning struck down one after another, causing the calamity black dragon's aura to weaken continuously and its body to shrink.

Gu Qing, after refining one world-destroying divine lightning bolt, proceeded to refine the next one.

This process repeated itself, with Gu Qing's divine body being shattered and reassembled time and time again, his aura growing ever stronger.

It even devoured and refined the world-destroying divine lightning within the body of the Calamity Black Dragon.

Having absorbed a massive amount of innate essence, Gu Qing's physique is undergoing rapid transformation, and his origin is evolving.

call out!

Just as the calamity-causing black dragon was powerless to stop it, and Gu Qing was also overwhelmed, a giant cauldron appeared in the sky, filled with chaotic laws, blocking the world-destroying divine lightning.

This is Zhi Meng's Dao-proving artifact, the Chaos Cauldron, whose power is terrifyingly unparalleled.

However, after receiving a world-destroying divine lightning bolt, the cauldron was instantly cracked.

Gu Qing and Zhi Meng used all their methods to fight against fate and quickly refine the world-destroying divine lightning.

Nine days later, the thick, dark clouds unleashed the final, world-destroying bolt of divine lightning, which then dissipated rapidly.

"call!"

Gu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief; she had finally gotten through it.

If the world-destroying divine lightning doesn't leave soon, the Calamity Black Dragon and the Chaos Cauldron will be blasted to pieces.

Gu Qing wanted to experience the power of the Venerable Realm.

If the King Realm is about controlling a domain, then the Venerable Realm is about being the absolute ruler of a world, wielding the power of laws.

A single thought can destroy the heavens and the earth, and shatter the void.

Thinking it over, Gu Qing silently recited the system's name and summoned the system panel attributes.

Gu Qing looked at the three changes, his excitement evident in his eyes.

[Yes, host, you have now undergone a complete transformation, becoming an innate being with primordial foundations, possessing the origin of chaos, immortal divinity, and an existence that is difficult to erase.]

Even if the host wanted to commit suicide, they wouldn't die.

"Good good!"

Gu Qing was overjoyed and manually locked her godfather in the dark room.

He turned his head to look at the large cauldron beside him. The mighty Chaos Cauldron was now covered in cracks and its light was dim.

Gu Qing picked up the Chaos Cauldron and poured a massive amount of Xuanhuang Mother Qi into it to repair the damage.

The Primordial Qi is the source of all things; it can enhance cultivation and can also be used for refining artifacts.

"Thank you for your help, Master!"

Gu Qing presented the Chaos Cauldron with both hands, his face full of gratitude.

If it weren't for Zhi Meng's intervention, he would have had to use the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower.

But this is a naturally occurring treasure, so it's best not to expose it if possible.

As for the Calamity Black Dragon, it doesn't matter if it's exposed, since no one can see its true nature anyway.

All we know is that this is the source of evil, terrifying and bizarre, but we have no idea just how bizarre and terrifying it is, or what the upper limit of the Calamity Black Dragon is.

“You are my disciple, this is what I should do as your master. Besides, the World-Destroying Divine Lightning is also of great benefit to me.”

Zhi Meng's face was pale and her voice trembled, but her beautiful eyes were bright and sparkling with joy.

Ji Ning, who was watching from the side, was so envious that she cried, silently wiping away her tears.

The world-destroying divine lightning contains pure innate essence.

If there is enough of it, it can make people defy their innate constitution, how could she not be envious?

He only regretted that he was not strong enough to intercept a world-destroying divine lightning bolt.
