NOVEL NEXT Chapter 70: Chapter 70: A Single Golden Core Ingested—My Fate Is Mine, Not Heaven’s!
Could it be that Lu Yunzhou's tribulation surpasses even the Four-Element Tribulation, the Seven-Colored Heaven Tribulation, and the Nine-Colored Chaos Tribulation?
Remarkably, this seems entirely possible.
After all, who is Lu Yunzhou? He's the first cultivator in the history of Douluo Continent!
Moreover, he's not just any cultivator—he's one who excels in numerous "side professions"!
As these thoughts flashed through Qian Daoliu's mind, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.
At that moment, a deafening boom suddenly erupted without warning, echoing across the heavens.
As the sound resounded, thick bolts of lightning, each as wide as the trunk of an ancient tree, descended from the sky with unstoppable force, aiming directly at Lu Yunzhou.
What was puzzling, even alarming, was that these lightning bolts weren't the usual purple or the rare crimson. Instead, they were... gray.
"What is this? Isn't this a heavenly tribulation? Why does it feel more like divine punishment?"
Sensing the energy fluctuations radiating from the gray lightning, Qian Daoliu felt his heart tremble with awe and fear. He couldn't stop himself from swallowing again.
Snapping out of his daze, Qian Daoliu urgently commanded, "Everyone, for your safety, retreat another 3,000 meters immediately!"
In midair, Lu Yunzhou remained at the center of the storm, enduring the relentless barrage of gray lightning.
Watching this, Gu Yuena's expression turned displeased. She muttered in frustration, "Is this man trying to destroy my sanctuary? I allowed him to demonstrate the abilities of a cultivator, but I didn't give him permission to wreak havoc!"
With a wave of her hand, she issued a similar order to Qian Daoliu's: "Everyone, evacuate now! Quickly!"
After speaking, Gu Yuena took the lead, swiftly retreating from the danger zone.
The power of the lightning tribulation was overwhelming—terrifying even. When it struck Lu Yunzhou, the resulting shockwaves annihilated everything in their path, leaving behind a barren wasteland devoid of any life.
"Destruction… That's the aura of destruction!"
Suddenly, Gu Yuena, in the midst of retreating, seemed to sense something. Her expression shifted to one of shock and disbelief.
Destruction and life, when fused, give birth to the power to create all things. The sheer magnitude of such power is beyond imagination.
It was for this reason that both the power of destruction and the power of life were incredibly rare and precious, even within the vast expanse of the Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm.
Yet, Lu Yunzhou's tribulation embodied this very power of destruction!
This realization left Gu Yuena stunned and incredulous.
As time passed, countless bolts of destructive lightning rained down one after another. They showed no sign of stopping, offering not even the slightest respite.
"Will he survive?"
Watching the terrifying gray lightning strike Lu Yunzhou again and again, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel deeply worried. Her concern was written all over her face.
Beside her, Bibi Dong noticed her unease and was about to offer some reassurance when the heavens themselves seemed to shift.
Gray.
An endless expanse of gray.
A color akin to death.
The gray engulfed the skies, the world, and all living beings, transforming the Land of Ferocious Beasts into a lifeless wasteland.
On Seagod Island
"This is the second time… The second time such an earth-shattering event has occurred. And this time, it's even more intense than the last."
From her throne, Bo Saixi opened her eyes, which had been sealed for ages. A solemn expression adorned her exquisite face.
At the Sacred Pillar of the Sea Maiden
"I wish I could visit the mainland…"
Pouting as she blew bubbles, the Sea Maiden Douluo muttered to herself, sensing the commotion from afar.
At the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect
"What on earth is happening in the Star Dou Forest?"
After confirming multiple times that the source of the energy explosion was in the Star Dou Forest, Ning Fengzhi's curiosity and desire for exploration grew stronger.
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Sword Douluo Chen Xin offered his thoughts: "Could it… have something to do with Mr. Lu?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully. "It's entirely possible. Considering his unparalleled strength on the Douluo Continent, who else could cause such an uproar?"
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan
"Clan Leader, should we send someone to investigate? Could a supreme treasure have appeared in the Star Dou Forest?"
Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the clan, cautiously inquired.
Shaking his head, Yu Yuanzhen replied, "There's no need. Even if a treasure has descended, it's not something we can claim. One wrong move, and not only would we gain nothing, but we might even lose everything."
His meaning was clear—even someone as powerful as Yu Yuanzhen dared not venture into the Star Dou Forest.
Hearing this, Yu Luomian was both surprised and apprehensive. Bowing respectfully, he responded, "Understood, Clan Leader."
As a peak-level Rank 96 Titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen's reluctance to explore the Star Dou Forest only deepened the mystery of what had transpired there.
Back at the Land of Ferocious Beasts
"The Source of Destruction! The Source of Destruction has descended! What on earth is Lu Yunzhou doing? Is he trying to destroy the entire Douluo Continent?!"
Gu Yuena's voice trembled with fear as she spoke.
The Source of Destruction—the very origin of destructive power—was not something ordinary beings could wield.
Even the God of Destruction, one of the five Divine Committee members, only controlled a fraction of its might.
Yet here was Lu Yunzhou.
By merely advancing to the Golden Core stage, he had drawn the full force of the Source of Destruction upon himself.
"This continent… what did it ever do to provoke him?"
As this thought crossed Gu Yuena's mind, her unease deepened.
If the Douluo Continent were to be destroyed, Gu Yuena would meet her end as well.
With the skies dyed in endless gray, the destructive lightning condensed from the Source of Destruction struck Lu Yunzhou relentlessly.
After a long silence, he finally smiled and declared:
"The Golden Core is complete."
This was the moment.
A single Golden Core ingested—
My fate is mine, not Heaven's!
