Time passed by, and Wutan had nothing to do, so he sat cross-legged in the air and began to repair his injuries.
Of the forty strands of Heaven-Destroying Battle Qi, seven were consumed in this battle, which made him extremely sad. However, compared with what he gained, it was worth it.
Half an hour later.
The breath of the blue-winged dragon was almost weak to the point of being undetectable, and its roar turned into a weak moan.
Seeing that the situation was almost ready, Xuanwu's body trembled slightly, and all his aura was restrained. The brilliance of the eleven divine bones also quickly dimmed.
Xuanwu appeared beside Wutan with eleven pieces of divine bones, as well as the horn and tailbone of the Azure Dragon, and asked him to keep them well and not lose them.
Wu Tian nodded, put the thirteen pieces of divine bones into the mustard seed bag, and then asked: "How is the fire dragon doing?"
"It's no big deal. As for whether he can evolve into a fire dragon, it depends on his own luck." Xuanwu said, sounding very tired.
Seeing the several finger-wide cracks on Xuanwu's back, Wu Tian frowned and asked, "Senior, can those cracks be repaired?"
Xuanwu said: "It can definitely be repaired, but it will take a long time, and because of the cracks in the tortoise shell, my strength may not be as good as before."
"What does 'not as good as before' mean?" Wutan's heart tightened. They had only reached the ninth restricted area, and there were more than a dozen areas in the depths. If they lost the combat power of Xuanwu, wouldn't they be faced with the dilemma of being unable to move forward
Xuanwu smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, my fighting power is still the same as before, but I can no longer fight as hard as before. But now I have you and the Fire Dragon to help me, I believe it shouldn't be a big problem to suppress all the emperors in the restricted area. It will be even easier if the Fire Dragon can transform into a divine beast, the Fire Dragon."
Wu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Senior, I remember that the Fire Dragon is not a descendant of the Nine-headed Dragon? How come you called it a Fire Dragon?"
He had thought of this doubt long before the battle with the Blue-Winged Dragon began, but at that time the battle was at a critical juncture, so he put it aside for the time being. Now, after hearing Xuanwu mention it twice, he finally couldn't help but ask.
Xuanwu asked with great interest: "Then tell me, what is the difference between the current fire dragon and the nine-headed dragon you mentioned?"
Wutan was slightly stunned. He looked up and looked the fire dragon up and down. Then he compared it with the nine-headed dragon recorded in ancient books. He found that the fire dragon's current appearance was actually very similar to the nine-headed dragon.
Seeing that Wu Tian didn't quite understand, Xuan Wu kindly explained: "In fact, Jiaolong is just a general term, which includes many types, such as water Jiao, earth Jiao, wood Jiao, etc. Fire Jiao is among them, but they have different ancestors. For example, the bloodline of Fire Jiao comes from Fire Dragon, and the bloodline of Water Jiao comes from Water Dragon."
"So that's how it is." Wu Tian suddenly realized.
Xuanwu sighed again, “Although they have different attributes, if they encounter opportunities, they may all transform into wild beasts such as the five-clawed dragon and the five-colored jade dragon. Back then, Qinglong was just one step away from evolving into a five-colored jade dragon, but the ancient catastrophe came and he was ruthlessly killed by a powerful alien. This became the biggest regret of his life.”
"A powerful person from outer space."
Xuanwu's mention of this aroused Wutan's curiosity again. Who was the mysterious and powerful man who destroyed the ancient times
Could it be that there is another big world at the end of the sky of the Samsara Continent
Wu Tian asked thoughtfully: "Senior, besides the Samsara Continent and the Ancient Battlefield, where else have you been?"
Xuanwu said: "I have never been to the Samsara Continent."
Wu Tian was stunned. This answer was far beyond his expectations.
"Alas! You may not know yet, but the ancient battlefield is actually the place where people in ancient times lived. It's just that everything has changed and can never go back to the way it was before." Xuanwu lamented.
Wutan’s body trembled. Who would have thought that this battlefield where alien creatures were rampant was actually the continent where ancient creatures lived
"In that battle, the sky collapsed, the earth sank, the sun and the moon fell, and a beautiful continent was devastated in less than half a day, turning into a hell of hell... When I think back to that scene, I can't help but tremble with fear..."
Xuanwu fell into deep memories, feeling an inextricable sadness and desolation.
Wutan still had many questions in his mind, but looking at Xuanwu's current appearance, it was obviously not the time to continue asking questions.
For a moment, the two fell silent, thinking about their own thoughts.
"Yin!"
It was unknown how long it had been, but a dragon roar suddenly sounded, rolling across the sky and earth, waking the two of them up.
Looking up, Wu Tian's expression changed and he exclaimed: "The fire dragon has really transformed into a fire dragon!"
I saw that in the sky ahead, the fire dragon had disappeared, and in its place was a huge fiery monster!
It is ten thousand feet long, covered with dragon scales as big as a dustpan, with an extremely hard texture and a sharp edge that can tear the sky and split the earth. On both sides of its huge head like a mountain, there are two whiskers hundreds of feet long. Every time it swings, it can shatter a piece of the void!
Especially its eyes, which seemed to be condensed from divine fire and contained a supreme majesty. Just by looking into its eyes, one could not help but feel the urge to worship it!
"No, the fire dragon has not succeeded yet. Its horns and dragon balls have not yet been born. These two things are the most important things and the proof of its transformation." Xuanwu said.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color and thunder roared!
Wu Tian looked up and said in surprise: "This is a sign of the appearance of a thunder tribulation. Could it be that the fire dragon is going to go through another tribulation?"
Xuanwu said: "Every time the blood of a descendant returns to its ancestral lineage, it must undergo the baptism of a heavenly tribulation. Only by successfully overcoming the tribulation can it truly transform and gain the inherited memory. However, from my observation, the fire dragon's heavenly tribulation seems to be a double tribulation."
"Double tribulation?" Wutan looked at him in confusion.
"That's right, it's a double robbery!"
Xuanwu exclaimed, and explained: "No matter what kind of relic it is, when its blood returns to its ancestral state, its cultivation will be upgraded to a small realm. The original realm of the Fire Dragon was at the Heavenly Man Perfection Stage. If it is upgraded one more step, it will be the first of the Nine Tribulations. In other words, the heavenly tribulation it has triggered at this moment, in addition to the blood tribulation caused by its blood returning to its ancestral state, there is also the sorrow tribulation of the first of the Nine Tribulations!"
"Its luck is very bad! If the Tribulation of Blood and the Tribulation of Sorrow were staggered, it might still succeed. But when the two tribulations appear at the same time, their power will increase countless times. The chances of it surviving it completely are very slim!" Xuanwu then said worriedly.
"A catastrophe of blood! A catastrophe of sorrow!" Wu Tian's mind was shaken, and he muttered, "So, it was me who harmed it."
If the holy medicine had not been used before, and only the leaves of the royal medicine Qingli Tree had been used to repair the fire dragon's injuries, it would not have broken through to the perfect stage of heaven and man.
If there had been no breakthrough, then now that its bloodline has returned to its ancestral form, its cultivation would have just reached the perfection stage, just missing the calamity of sorrow.
"Wutian, Senior Xuanwu, don't worry about me. I have waited for this moment for a long, long time. I firmly believe that I can successfully cross it!" The fire dragon vowed. Although he said so, the two could clearly capture the solemnity and fear in its huge eyes.
“Crack!”
There was a loud bang in the sky, and a gray heavenly calamity and a blood-red heavenly calamity fell from the sky at the same time.
"Gray?" Wu Tian was surprised and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Xuanwu said solemnly: "You read it right. The Tribulation of Sorrow is gray. Gray represents death in the heavenly tribulation. There is also a saying that the Tribulation of Sorrow is the destructive force of heaven, which is specially used to destroy creatures that attempt to go against heaven. Throughout the ancient times, there were very few creatures that could survive this kind of heavenly tribulation."
Wu Tian asked hurriedly: "Can the fire dragon make it through?"
“It’s slim. Very slim.” Xuanwu only said these few words, but Wutan’s heart sank to the bottom.
"I'll go help him. With my physical body, I should be able to hold on." Wutan gritted his teeth.
“Don’t go!” Xuanwu shouted hurriedly, “The Calamity of Sorrow and the Calamity of Blood are coming together. Even your physical body cannot stop them. Even if you can withstand them, you cannot go to help. The Fire Dragon must complete it himself.”
"Why?" Wutan was extremely puzzled.
Xuanwu explained: "These two kinds of heavenly tribulations are different from other heavenly tribulations. Once you help it survive the blood tribulation, the inherited memory will be passed on to you. However, the fire dragon not only cannot receive the inheritance, but even the dragon ball and dragon horn will not grow. This means that the transformation has failed, and therefore, the fire dragon will never have a second chance to transform in its lifetime."
"So serious?" Wu Tian was shocked and quickly retracted his steps. He asked without giving up, "What about the disaster of sorrow?"
Xuanwu said: "You will not help it even more if it survives the calamity of sorrow. Once you help it, even if it successfully survives this calamity, its combat power will be half of that of a strong person of the same realm."
Wutan rubbed his aching forehead and finally gave up the idea.
"The combat power of a creature that survives the Calamity of Sorrow on its own and a creature that survives the Calamity of Sorrow with the help of others cannot be generalized. To put it simply, the former can easily kill the latter with a wave of their hands."
Fearing that Wutan would act on impulse and ruin the Fire Dragon's plan, Xuanwu explained the interests involved in detail.
"You don't have to explain, I understand." Wutan rubbed his face and looked worriedly, then saw two heavenly tribulations striking the fire dragon.
boom!!
The fire dragon was directly hit to the ground and smashed into the earth. Two bloody holes appeared at the place where it was hit, which were transparent from top to bottom, and blood spurted out like pillars!
Looking at the place that was submerged in dust and the power of natural disaster from afar, Wutan's heart also tightened.
What surprised him was that despite suffering such terrible injuries from the two heavenly calamities, the fire dragon did not make any sound of pain.
CRACK!!
The second catastrophe of sorrow and the second catastrophe of blood poured down at the same time. The might of heaven rolled and shattered the void for thousands of miles. The earth below was pressed down forcefully and continued to sink deep into the ground. Such a shocking scene was simply despairing!
With a loud bang, a huge bloody figure stirred up the mud all over the sky, and soared into the sky under tremendous pressure, actually taking the initiative to face the two world-destroying catastrophes!
