Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Zhang Peng stood in the empty valley, surrounded by high mountains that seemed like a natural barrier, yet they could not block the oppressive force of the impending ascension tribulation. The tribulation clouds, like black waves, surged and gathered in the sky, growing thicker and thicker. Purple lightning flashed intermittently within the clouds, emitting muffled rumbling sounds, as if proclaiming to the world the majesty and terror of this calamity.

The forces from various factions in the cultivation world had long been impatiently gathering around the valley, watching from afar with tense yet expectant eyes. The disciples of the Starry Sky Sect, dressed in uniform, stood neatly on a high ground. Their sect leader, Lin Xingchen, stood at the forefront, his brow furrowed, muttering incantations, seemingly praying silently for Zhang Peng. "Fellow Daoist Zhang Peng has lived a life of integrity, making outstanding contributions to the cultivation world. He will surely succeed in this tribulation," Lin Xingchen thought to himself, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Valley Master Su Miaoshou, accompanied by several elders, stood amidst a sea of ​​flowers. A rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air around them, a stark contrast to the oppressive tribulation clouds overhead. Su Miaoshou held an exquisite jade bottle containing carefully crafted pills, said to possess miraculous aiding those undergoing tribulation. "If Fellow Daoist Zhang Peng needs them, these pills will certainly lend him a hand," Su Miaoshou said softly, his eyes filled with concern.

Meanwhile, the powerful families occupied advantageous positions, subtly vying for dominance among themselves. Their gazes frequently darted between Zhang Peng and the other forces around him, calculating the potential impact of this ascension tribulation. Some families hoped Zhang Peng would successfully ascend, bringing new opportunities to the cultivation world; others worried that his ascension would disrupt the balance of power in the cultivation world, thereby affecting their own family's interests.

Amidst the crowd, Li Yifeng's face was flushed with excitement. His eyes never left Zhang Peng, and he gripped a long sword tightly in his hand, as if he too were undergoing a life-or-death ordeal. "Senior Zhang Peng, you must succeed!" Li Yifeng shouted incessantly in his heart, his body trembling slightly—a mixture of excitement and tension.

Zhang Peng felt the gazes of those around him, yet his heart remained unusually calm. He slowly closed his eyes, and the power of the stars surged within him like a mighty river. He began to recall his experiences in the world of cultivation—the battles he had fought, the days he had spent with his companions—all flashing through his mind like a movie. These memories were not only his treasure but also his driving force.

A deep, resonant hum resounded, and the tribulation clouds in the sky began to spin rapidly, forming a massive vortex. At the center of the vortex, a bolt of purple lightning slowly condensed—the first heavenly lightning strike of the Ascension Tribulation. The lightning contained earth-shattering power, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

"It's here!" someone whispered in surprise from the crowd. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the bolt of lightning. Zhang Peng slowly opened his eyes, which shimmered with starlight. A star sword materialized in his hand, its blade gleaming and echoing the lightning in the sky.

Boom! The first bolt of heavenly lightning, like a giant meteor, struck Zhang Peng with boundless power. Undeterred, Zhang Peng wielded his Star Sword, unleashing "Star Shattering Impact - Star's Wrath." The power of the stars collided with the power of the heavenly lightning, erupting in a dazzling light. Powerful energy fluctuations spread outwards from the point of impact. The surrounding mountains cracked under the impact of this force, rocks tumbled down, and thunderous roars echoed.

"Such immense power!" Li Yifeng exclaimed. He was filled with awe; the scene before him made him deeply aware of the allure and cruelty of cultivating immortality. Faced with such overwhelming power, humanity seemed so insignificant, but Zhang Peng's courage and perseverance filled him with boundless admiration.

The first bolt of heavenly lightning was successfully blocked, but the tribulation clouds in the sky showed no signs of weakening. On the contrary, the tribulation clouds grew even thicker, and the lightning flashed more frequently. The second bolt of heavenly lightning slowly condensed in the center of the tribulation clouds. Its power was even greater than the first bolt of heavenly lightning, and the power of laws contained in its lightning made the surrounding cultivators feel an invisible pressure.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath, channeling the power of the stars within him to its fullest extent. He knew that the heavenly lightning that followed would grow stronger with each strike, and he had to give it his all. "Come on, let's see what this ascension tribulation can do to me!" Zhang Peng's voice echoed through the valley, filled with confidence and pride.

The second bolt of lightning, accompanied by a howling wind, struck Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng unleashed "Stellar Space-Time Reversal," attempting to reverse the lightning's power. However, the lightning's force was too great, and the effect of "Stellar Space-Time Reversal" was minimal. The lightning struck Zhang Peng's Star Shield, causing it to shake violently and flicker. Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, desperately maintaining the shield; his body trembled slightly under the impact of the lightning…
