Xiaoxiao.

At this breathtaking moment, a colossal hand, blotting out the sky, suddenly appeared in the air. It was so enormous that it was impossible to fathom where it came from. This giant hand seemed to stretch out from the distant depths of the universe, mysterious and majestic.

The moment the giant hand appeared, it emitted a dazzling light, like a brilliant star, instantly attracting the spiritual energy of the entire Penglai planet. This spiritual energy, as if summoned by some powerful force, rushed towards the giant hand with insatiable hunger.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy formed around the giant hand, and the spiritual energy of the entire planet rapidly diminished like a flood bursting its banks. The once abundant spiritual energy in the air gradually thinned, and the earth, deprived of its nourishment, began to dry up.

Even so, the enormous, all-encompassing hand showed no sign of satisfaction, continuing its relentless and insatiable rampage.

It ruthlessly stretched into the depths of Penglai Planet, forcefully severing the nine vital spiritual veins that supported the planet!

This action was like severing the spine of a mighty dragon, causing the source of spiritual energy on Penglai Planet to be completely cut off instantly, and the originally abundant spiritual energy began to dissipate rapidly.

As the giant hand moved, a terrifying, suffocating pressure emanated from it.

This oppressive force was like a towering, majestic mountain, pressing heavily upon the entire Penglai planet.

Under this immense pressure, the ordinary wild beasts were relatively lucky. They only felt as if a giant rock weighing thousands of pounds was pressing down on their chests, making it almost impossible for them to breathe smoothly.

Each inhale and exhale became exceptionally difficult, as if the air had solidified into a hard solid.

However, compared to these ordinary wild beasts, the situation faced by those powerful wild beasts was much worse.

Faced with this unparalleled, overwhelming pressure, they seemed to have suddenly become statues frozen in place by a spell, unable to move an inch.

Even the slightest movement of their massive bodies was an unattainable luxury for them at this moment.

At this tense moment, the meteorites that had been flying around haphazardly suddenly seemed to come alive, becoming strange and agile.

They seemed to transform into a group of ferocious demons with eyes, charging precisely towards those incredibly powerful beasts.

The more powerful a beast is, the more violent and ferocious the meteorite impact will be.

These meteorites seemed like a severe punishment from heaven, a wrath directed specifically at these once invincible behemoths.

Faced with this deadly threat, they had no choice but to fight back.

However, the harsh reality is that the drastically reduced spiritual energy makes it difficult for them to replenish their energy quickly.

Every resistance and struggle felt like the last bit of strength being exhausted.

The oppressive force emanating from the giant hand suspended in the air was as heavy as Mount Tai crushing an egg, making it impossible for them to even stand upright, let alone effectively retaliate.

Under such absolute oppression, their resistance appears so powerless and hopeless.

And so, time slowly passed during a long and terrifying meteor shower.

A whole year has passed, and none of those beings who were once considered powerful among the wild beast tribes have been able to escape this catastrophe.

Endless meteorites rained down like a dense storm, slamming into these poor creatures and turning them into pools of bloody, mangled flesh.

When that terrifying calamity occurred, the white dragon was still a cub, small in size and weak in strength. Thanks to the brave and fearless protection of its parents, it was able to survive the catastrophe unscathed.

Since then, time has flown by.

Throughout its long growth process, the white dragon fully utilized its unique innate advantages.

It possesses an extraordinary physique and innate talent, qualities that allow it to thrive on the path of cultivation and advance triumphantly.

Whether facing the test of harsh environment or the challenge of powerful enemy, Bai Jiao is always able to deal with it calmly, learn from the experience and lessons, and constantly achieve self-breakthrough.

As time went by, the white dragon gradually grew stronger.

Meanwhile, the other wild beasts that had survived that calamity were not so fortunate. Some were too badly injured, while others were simply not good enough, and they all fell under the relentless wheels of time, disappearing into the long river of history.

Only the white dragon, with its tenacious vitality and unremitting efforts, successfully overcame the erosion of time and became the only witness to that era that survived to modern times.

This mysterious being, having endured countless hardships and dangers throughout the long river of time, emerged out of nowhere ten thousand years ago, ascending to the pinnacle of the entire wilderness with overwhelming force, becoming the undisputed and fearsome absolute overlord! Its illustrious reputation spread far and wide, and no one was unaware of the existence of this peerless powerhouse.

What's even more astonishing is that this giant's strength has reached the legendary level twelve, which can be described as the pinnacle and unparalleled in the world!

However, as the saying goes, "the weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant." Just as this giant was confidently preparing for the crucial tribulation, something unexpected suddenly happened.

What should have been a smooth and successful tribulation turned into a sudden and unexpected event at a crucial moment. Gale-force winds raged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Despite possessing extraordinary abilities, even this behemoth was unable to cope with such a sudden and unprecedented change.

In that harrowing ordeal, it fought desperately against fate, but ultimately could not escape the clutches of misfortune and perished with resentment, ending its glorious yet short life.

His fate was tragic and lamentable, leaving behind endless speculation and mystery for posterity.

Upon hearing this answer, Wu Ren was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Level 12 savage beasts are a force even cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage dare not face head-on, due to the unique nature of beasts. In fact, they begin to transform into human form when their strength reaches level 11.

Unlike cultivators, they will face the "Transformation Lightning Tribulation"!

Although this kind of tribulation is not as terrifying as the tribulation clouds of humans, it cannot rely on external forces such as spiritual treasures or elixirs like humans do; it can only endure it by relying on its physical body.

Only by withstanding the tribulation lightning of transformation can they complete the most important "transformation" in their lives.

Unlike "humanoids", beasts that survive the tribulation of transformation can truly possess the innate human body.

From then on, they were basically no different from humans in appearance.

Of course, since they are humanoid beings, they are still very different from real people; their true form is still a beast.

At level eleven, facing the lightning tribulation is extremely dangerous, with only a one in ten thousand chance of success.

It should be understood that among birds, beasts, fish, and insects, only one in ten thousand can cultivate, and the one that ultimately succeeds in cultivation is even rarer.

Only one in ten thousand survives the tribulation of transformation. It is because of this terrifying elimination rate that birds, beasts, fish and insects are much stronger than humans of the same level after their strength exceeds level ten.

It is precisely because of this terrifying elimination rate that they say humans are so lucky.

Because they were born with innate physical abilities, their cultivation speed was many times faster than others.

But humans don't know how to cherish things, and that's why they look down on humans.

Because humanity doesn't know how to cherish, the most precious innate constitution in the world doesn't pursue the mysteries of the universe, but instead spends its life toiling away for worldly possessions...

Ying Yue was somewhat incredulous upon hearing that Bai Jiao had failed his tribulation.

So he asked, "Isn't it said that the White Flood Dragon is a rare species of heaven and earth, and its strength has reached a terrifying level twelve? It should be very easy for it to undergo tribulation!"

Kuang Zheng frowned and said, "This is also what puzzled me. It should have been no problem for it to undergo tribulation, but it failed in the end."

Wu Ren sighed, "This shows that the Heavenly Tribulation isn't something that can be easily overcome!"

Kuang Zheng felt things weren't so simple, but this was merely speculation. Without any basis, he stopped dwelling on it and continued to recount the history of the nonexistent Penglai planet to the two of them...
