#1014 - Dragon Core Condensation
The solidified crystals were difficult to scatter again by lightning tribulations or even external impacts.
Under intentional control, ten-colored crystals began to appear sporadically in every corner of the golden liquid.
These scattered crystals, under the mutual traction, moved closer to the larger crystals and eventually tended to merge into one.
The energy required to condense the crystals was too vast.
Moreover, as the crystal's volume increased, its desire for and absorption of energy became terrifying.
A powerful energy vortex, different from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation, began to form around the ten-colored crystal.
The eighth lightning tribulation descended.
The power increased another level, and the lightning, condensed with vast energy, penetrated the dragon's body, reaching its abdomen.
An even more chaotic energy surge was triggered within the body, but the ten-colored crystal was exerting the formation's effect. Therefore, a large portion of the energy was absorbed into it before it could fully refine the dragon's body.
The direct integration of the tribulation lightning, on the contrary, applied the due trial or refining effect to the crystal.
Compressed and condensed, then refined by lightning tribulation.
Quan Yi discovered that the fluctuations emitted by his dragon core became increasingly profound and heavy.
The volume of the dragon core rapidly increased during the continuous acceleration of absorption and compression.
Quan Yi discovered that most of the energy was directly absorbed into it. This crystal was like an insatiable bottomless pit. Quan Yi did not absorb the energy left over after refinement, but directly allowed the energy to enter the crystal.
Seeing this, Quan Yi was somewhat worried that the energy required to condense the dragon core was far too vast.
Especially after adding the new ultimate attribute, the energy required for condensation increased geometrically.
However, as if to dispel Quan Yi's worries, after the eighth lightning tribulation ended, the ninth lightning bolt relentlessly struck the Dark Gold Dragon King's body.
Again, it was a lightning tribulation representing a watershed.
The power of the ninth lightning tribulation directly increased by more than two times on the original basis.
"Ugh!"
The energy erupted by this lightning tribulation at once exceeded Quan Yi's absorption limit at that moment.
The tingling sensation that made his consciousness almost separate from his body nearly caused him to lose control of his body.
Fortunately, he had always been using the dragon scales to withstand the turbulence and lightning tribulations to train his resistance.
This prevented him from being lost in the sudden saturated impact.
Quan Yi, having regained his footing, immediately activated the formation to participate in the absorption of energy.
However, even so, the degree of liquefaction of his body was still uncontrollably increasing.
Usually, the ninth lightning tribulation, as the ultimate lightning tribulation, would have its power further leap forward.
But this time, the increase in power far exceeded Quan Yi's imagination.
Threat.
If he let it go, this lightning tribulation would inevitably pose a great threat to him.
Quan Yi couldn't even bother to accurately allocate the proportions of each aspect; he had to put himself in the most complete state before the next lightning tribulation arrived.
The tenth lightning tribulation.
This was an unknown realm for Quan Yi; he didn't know what kind of power this lightning tribulation, exceeding the upper limit of his cognition, would have.
However, while fully digesting, Quan Yi felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
Could the lightning tribulation that surpassed the existing intensity be regarded as an attack comparable to a God King level?
In anticipation, the increasingly frantic crystal and Quan Yi combined forces to reduce the degree of liquefaction to zero.
However, after the ninth lightning tribulation ended, the tribulation clouds, without stopping, seemed to take a breath and paused the lightning strikes.
The tribulation clouds did not dissipate; Quan Yi could see that all the remaining energy of the tribulation clouds was compressed and condensed into a center.
During this process, even Quan Yi could not compete with the cosmic laws for too much energy.
"This should be the last time."
The lightning tribulation had not yet arrived, but that needle-like tingling sensation penetrated his hard dragon body and reached his soul.
Facing this strike, Quan Yi dared not be distracted in the slightest; he immediately summoned the dragon souls to fully condense the dragon core around the crystal.
And he would fully respond to the lightning tribulation, so as not to collapse himself.
The lightning tribulation did not care whether Quan Yi had adjusted his state; it seemed supremely confident in its final lightning tribulation.
The tribulation clouds were contracting inward from the periphery, and Quan Yi's dragon body was thus re-exposed in the sky.
The people who had been paying attention to the lightning tribulation mistakenly thought that the lightning tribulation had ended, and they burst into cheers of celebration.
However, just as people were immersed in the celebratory atmosphere, the lightning tribulation gave them an unexpected attack.
The lightning tribulation, compressed to the extreme, returned to the normal size of the tribulation clouds, and this colorful cloud could not even cover the dragon body that Quan Yi had transformed into, but instead made himself blocked by the dragon body, so that the people on the ground could not observe this.
The shrinking tribulation clouds seemed to have completed a reincarnation, returning to the most basic four-element lightning tribulation size.
However, even if it started again, it was taking the first step in a higher realm.
A nine-colored flying lightning bolt, like a miniature short sword, flew straight towards the golden dragon's soul, which was where Quan Yi was hiding.
One sword chills fourteen provinces.
The blazing lightning bloomed with a chilling light that made thousands of people tremble with fear.
At this moment, the world lost its color, and everything was silent.
The silent sword of annihilation lightning, without any sound, was deeply imprinted in those firm, heterochromatic dragon eyes.
"Roar!"
The unyielding dragon roar broke through the silence at this moment and launched a horn of resistance to the enforcers of the universe.
The golden dragon, soaring into the sky, bloomed with equally dazzling ten-colored golden light.
The eleven dragon souls in the body exerted their strength together, and the terrifying divine thought power forcibly compressed the huge body.
At the moment before the lightning and the golden dragon collided, the golden dragon's volume shrank to the same slender size as the lightning flying sword, but the density inside increased exponentially.
Extreme compression against extreme compression.
And extreme compression was for the subsequent extreme burst.
The lightning and the dragon, carrying huge kinetic energy and speed, collided together without retreat or evasion.
"Boom!"
The earth-shattering roar of thunder poured out.
The lightning divine sword that penetrated time and space had a sharp collision with the dragon's horn.
For a time, the lightning compressed to the extreme turned into an incomparably hard solid, and stalemated with the dragon horn.
However, the sharp dragon horn erupted with a dazzling golden-red light, and a strong will penetrated the dragon horn, releasing the meaning of a forward-looking bright sun.
"Bright Sun Fist Intent!"
The high degree of integration of will and body multiplied their respective powers together, exerting an attack power that exceeded the limits of the body.
The blazing sun penetrated the gorgeous colorful lightning, carrying the sharp dragon horn, and pierced into the lightning.
Thousands of blazing lights, aimed at the smallest elemental units that constituted the lightning tribulation, implemented a saturated penetrating strike.
The power of the laws that condensed the elements thus underwent an overall fracture and collapse.
"Divine Dragon Fist Intent!"
The released will, after disintegrating the cohesive force inside the lightning, contracted inward.
The scarlet-eyed evil dragon opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the entire lightning.
"Crack, crack."
The crisp lightning tribulation was bitten to pieces.
