Chapter 1171: Chapter 1149: Jian Mu Becomes King - Mysterious Figure!

Over the Gu Yuan Tribe, the skies within hundreds of miles were almost instantly covered by the oppressive tribulation clouds. The air turned stagnant, and the heavenly power was prison-like, so suffocating that it left everyone gasping for breath.

Thunder Tribulation!

At this moment, that was the thought that occurred to all the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

The divine tree manifesting in the sky, with even the divine shadow of a nine heavens Kunpeng dancing amidst it, made the creature undergoing the tribulation obvious to all.

This thunder tribulation was clearly for the ascension of the Jian Mu Divine Tree to King level!

"Everyone retreat into the Secret Realm to take shelter!"

The next moment, shouts erupted from within the Gu Yuan Tribe.

During the Desolate Wilds era, plants and spirit monsters could undergo thunder tribulation to become spiritual beings, but with the extinction of spiritual beings and the great changes in heaven and earth, it seemed there were too many hidden secrets and changes, so the divine trees and spirit items of this era were undergoing tribulation to become kings, not much different from the cultivation of martial arts by the Hundred Clans.

After sensing that there were no longer any signs of life in the Gu Yuan Tribe, an earth-shattering cry resounded throughout heaven and earth.

Pew!

Under the dense tribulation clouds, the nine heavens Kunpeng was peerless and majestic, carrying a streak of defiance that seemed to say, "Between heaven and earth, I soar freely."

The terrifying presence spread like an ocean, annihilating the void barrier inch by inch, sweeping in all directions.

Fortunately, the tribespeople of Gu Yuan had already taken refuge in the Secret Realm Space, and even those who were outside and hadn’t returned kept their distance from the tribe, fearing they would be caught in the disaster.

After several years of transformation, the spirit of Jian Mu had finally assimilated the martial soul energy of the demon king Golden Winged Dapeng, completing its final metamorphosis.

When divine trees and spirit items undergo tribulation to become kings, heaven and earth naturally lower their trials. This is an essential step for spiritual wood and items, for if they pass, they can shed the mundane world and regenerate flesh. In doing so, they can manifest genuine bodies and will no longer be constrained by their original spiritual wood form, free to roam between heaven and earth.

Rumble!

A golden shadow stretched its wings, turning into a size that covered the sky, and directly faced the descending thunder tribulation.

Whoosh!

With a gentle flap of its wings, a vast force erupted from the body of the Jian Mu spirit, directly annihilating space and consolidating into two spatial storms, heading towards the tribulation clouds above the sky vault.

Spurt! Spurt!

The hurricane’s passage directly swept up the massive spatial storm into the tribulation clouds, intending to tear them apart!

Boom!

Perhaps this enraged the tribulation clouds, as they churned, a thunderbolt as large as a mountain fell directly onto the body of the Jian Mu spirit.

Pew!

The Jian Mu spirit didn’t dodge in the slightest, instead facing the falling thunder head-on. Suddenly, the sky was densely packed with thunderbolts that formed a large net, penetrating into its body.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The falling thunder was relentless, one bolt after another cascading down. The terrifying presence covered the entire sky vault, carrying the power of heaven and earth annihilation, even manifesting a pale void where space had been obliterated completely.

In the midst of the falling thunderbolts that streaked across the sky like meteors, a golden figure threaded through the shattered space, absorbing the lightning into its body.

The sky-full of thunderbolts naturally left Jian Mu in a very sorry state, with bodily breaches as substantial as its physical form pierced directly by tangible thunderbolts, creating holes several dozens of meters wide, filled with the dense aura of annihilation, preventing the wounds from healing!

As the thunder continued to fall, more and more large holes were blasted open in the body of the Jian Mu spirit, and its once majestic appearance became extremely miserable.

Yet the spirit of Jian Mu still lingered above the sky vault, exposed to the pale space, showing no sign of retreat.

At this moment, it could be seen that although the places on his body where the thunder had struck radiated with the scent of destruction and charring, the newly grown flesh was like that of living beings, no longer a mere gathering of energy forms.

New flesh was regenerated amidst the interweaving of thunder and fire, brimming with faint signs of life.

Rumble!

The tribulation clouds that covered hundreds of miles emanated overwhelming heavenly power. As the Gu Yuan Tribe was now situated in the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, such heavenly might caused the exotic beasts deep in the mountains to prostrate themselves far away, with the more powerful ones not looking back as they burrowed deeper into the mountains.

However, a thousand miles away, the figure of a youth appeared; the youth wore a golden robe, and his golden eyes held a hint of blood-red. His brows, sharp as knives, radiated a cutting edge.

Just like that, two beams of golden light shot out from the youth’s eyes, piercing straight into the dense tribulation clouds. He saw a golden Kunpeng tens of meters in size soaring up to the sky vault, continuously swallowing the falling heavenly thunder, allowing the heavenly might to bear down upon its body.

Boom!

After enduring countless thunderbolts, the body of the Jian Mu spirit was already riddled with holes, each emitting a thread of destructive aura, and the wings themselves would have fallen apart if not for the strands of flesh that still clung to them.

But amidst the rampant thunder tribulation, the exposed flesh showed hints of dark golden bones forming, supporting the massive body.

"Worthy of being a Jian Mu among divine trees, it is said to have earned the favor of the nine heavens Kunpeng, inherently divine and further empowered by the teachings of the Kunpeng. It is rumored that every Jian Mu separated from the original can transform into a Kunpeng shadow, truly living up to its reputation," the young man in the golden robe muttered to himself atop a remote mountain peak, a cryptic meaning shining in his eyes.

Boom!

In the midst of the dazzling thunder, an explosion of golden light erupted, and the damaged bones of the Jian Mu spirit’s right wing finally couldn’t withstand the thunder tribulation and completely burst apart.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, this was just the beginning. After the right wing exploded, the left wing also reached its limit, bursting apart, and this time there was a sky full of blood mist permeating the air.

At the site of the broken feathers, golden flowing light shimmered symbiotically with the blood-drenched bones, indicating that his body had not yet fully transformed into real flesh and blood.

The originally thousand-foot body of Jian Mu had shrunk to less than two hundred feet, and was densely covered with burns. Even this remaining body less than two hundred feet in size was still shrinking.

With every strike of thunder, large amounts of energy were sapped away. The lightning that penetrated his body would annihilate the original energy form and immediately be followed by the genesis of new flesh, filling in the vacuums left by the depleted energy.

This was the ultimate metamorphosis of the body, which was required to fully convert one’s physical form into a body of flesh and blood amidst the thunder tribulation.

One hundred feet in size.

At this moment, the spirit of Jian Mu no longer possessed the imposing appearance of being sheathed in golden light. Even the purple crown atop its head was scorched black by the lightning.

Its entire body turned pitch black, covered with dark red blood scabs, emitting an aura of scorching heat.

The two wings that had been struck by lightning regrew, exuding the pale color of flesh, no longer the illusory nature of energy.

The two eyes, however, were becoming increasingly captivating, shooting out two rays of divine brilliance that penetrated directly into the clouds of tribulation.

The next moment, the clouds of tribulation roared with ten thousand thunders, with lightning dragons flickering in and out of sight, and even intangible thunder chains beginning to materialize.

Swish swish!

Finally, amidst the thunder, a sonorous tearing sound echoed, and from the clouds of tribulation emerged four thick, silvery-white chains, tens of feet thick, glimmering with dark thunderous light, which then fell from four angles toward Jian Mu’s spirit.

Crack, crack, crack!

It all happened in an instant; the four lightning chains locked Jian Mu’s spirit’s wings, suspending it in the void, powerless to shake free from the shackles of the lightning prison no matter how it struggled.

Then, the sky full of tribulation clouds split open, revealing a rift hundreds of miles long, and a silvery-white divine beast of lightning manifested itself.

The Kunpeng of the Nine Heavens!

A Kunpeng, entirely composed of lightning, dove straight toward the spirit of Jian Mu.

Boom!

The next moment, the lightning-made Kunpeng collided with the spirit of Jian Mu, and in an instant, divine brilliance flashed, covering the Sky Vault in a dazzling silver-white light.

At this moment, all living beings fell into a trance; their visions temporarily blinded.

Accompanied by daylight filling the sky, the tribulation clouds above disappeared almost within a few breaths.

Hum!

As the dazzling silver light faded, a massive silver-white orb of light remained suspended in midair, as if time had stopped at this moment!

What had happened?

With the disappearance of the tribulation clouds, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe emerged from the Secret Realm again. Although the target of all the thunder tribulation had been the spirit of Jian Mu, lightning still struck within the tribe.

However, at this moment, the eyes of all the tribespeople paid no mind to their tribe’s chaos caused by the tribulation. Instead, they all stared intently at the silver-white orb of light above them.

Above the silver-white orb of light, streaks of lightning flashed, shimmering and emitting shocking fluctuations.

Thump!

Suddenly, there was a sound that shook heaven and earth, and at this moment, all the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe felt a pulse of vitality!

This was a pulse that vibrated the Heaven and Earth Mountains and Rivers!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

As the pulsing grew more urgent, the dense lightning also flashed more intensely, forming a net of lightning that tightly locked the silver-white orb of light.

Thump! Thump!

Yet the pulsing from deep within the orb grew increasingly forceful and strong, with an astonishing vitality emanating outward.

Crack!

At last, the dense web of lightning cracked open, and with every beat, the pulsing grew faster, seemingly in sync with some rhythm of heaven and earth, causing all living beings hearing the vibration to involuntarily blend their own pulse into it.

Thousands of miles away, the golden-robed youth’s eyes shone with divine light, gazing at the silver-white orb of light suspended in the sky. After a long moment, the light in his eyes finally dimmed.

"Let it be, the spirit monster of Spiritual Wood, after all, was born from the quintessence of Heaven and Earth Mountains and Rivers, and there’s a Divine Tree shedding its bark to advance on the Dao of kings. This can be considered a fortunate event for our clan," he said.

The next moment, the golden figure atop the mountain peak took a step forward, heading into the depths of the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, fading into a pinpoint of light in just a single breath.

More than ten breaths later, cracks had already spread across the entire silver orb of light, and with each beat, these cracks grew larger.

Boom!

Finally, the silver light exploded across the void, and a golden figure stepped out, resembling a golden deity. As the divine brilliance dissipated, a young man with distinguished features was revealed!
