However...
Chu Tian's Annihilation Heavenly Tribulation...
These runes were originally imbued with the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
If the Annihilation Heavenly Tribulation were to be repelled, these runes would dissipate into the heavens and earth.
Recycled by the Heavenly Dao...
And Chu Tian had subdued the Dragon of Devouring.
Acquiring its primal skill.
Otherwise, even if he wanted to contend with the Heavenly Dao for these lightning runes, he wouldn't have been able to.
However, just as Chu Tian endured the excruciating pain in his body and the grogginess in his head.
Madly absorbing the lightning runes.
Ran's expression changed, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. After spitting out one mouthful, he spat out another.
In his dantian, the smiling ball of lightning that was there before rapidly expanded.
The rampant power surged back and forth, almost bursting Chu Tian's body.
That was the ball of lightning formed by the lightning rune. After the runes from the exploded lightning beast were added, it grew explosively.
The lightning runes formed by the previous nine lightning whales were not even one-hundredth of its power.
Now, it was causing trouble in Chu Tian's dantian, trying to break free from Chu Tian's body and merge with heaven and earth.
Chu Tian's body was like a cage now.
The ball of lightning runes desperately battered the cage, trying to get out.
"Damn it... *Pfft*..."
"Want... *Pfft*..."
"To escape...? *Pfft*..."
"Behave yourself... *Pfft*... for me!"
For every few words Chu Tian spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, its commotion also ignited Chu Tian's stubbornness.
He was even more convinced that this thing was absolutely a good find...
Chu Tian roared, mobilizing the little divine soul power he had left.
And the meager spiritual energy in his body, which was like a leaky funnel and couldn't store spiritual energy.
He madly suppressed the ball of lightning formed by the lightning runes, preventing it from bursting out of his body.
But he was extremely weak at the moment. The previous attack, Sharp Gold Annihilation Slash, had consumed too much divine soul power.
Otherwise, he could have struggled a bit more.
Seeing his dantian being ravaged, he could no longer suppress it.
"It's over... My dantian is about to be pierced. Five-Colored Supreme Bone, what are you doing?"
Chu Tian's face changed drastically...
If his dantian were to be destroyed in this great crisis, he would likely die.
*Hum...*
A surge of emerald light appeared.
The destructive energy that had entered his body from the lightning beast's attack was extinguished by the endless续航之力 of the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life's energy finally had some respite and joined the battle in Chu Tian's dantian.
However, the Tree of Life also seemed to be overexerted.
Only one wave of life energy entered the dantian, and then it lost its momentum.
Although it temporarily resolved his crisis, it only lasted for a moment.
"Damn it, this thing is too monstrous, isn't it?"
If this continued, Chu Tian knew his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
If it really didn't work out, he would have to give up.
He couldn't let it break through his dantian on its own, or he would be ruined.
He had no choice but to open his dantian and let this ball of lightning... roll out!
Suddenly, Chu Tian's attention swept over to the vortex of seeds swirling at the bottom of his dantian.
He inadvertently noticed that several of the seeds had changed.
They were emitting a dazzling light.
Chu Tian looked closely and discovered that inside those seeds, there was a tiny lightning rune.
Those runes were clearly as if they had been digested, their energy much weaker than the runes in the ball of lightning.
They were gradually dimming, as if transforming into the seeds' own energy.
Moreover, those seeds seemed to be developing towards some kind of transformation.
Seeing this, Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
"Ah... Go over there!"
Chu Tian sent out the last of his strength, pushing the chaotic ball of lightning towards the vortex of seeds.
However, just as it was about to reach, Chu Tian felt a jolt of dizziness in his mind.
"It's over..."
Chu Tian's consciousness finally faded.
His divine soul had been too depleted...
He could no longer hold on.
Chu Tian's body slumped from mid-air.
Falling freely towards the ground.
At this moment, he was worse off than an ordinary person.
Anything could end his life.
However, just as he was about to hit the ground, a silver-white shadow appeared.
A hand reached out and caught him.
It was Luo Luo, who had arrived in her silver-white mecha.
Following her, everyone else arrived one after another.
"Brother..."
Luo Luo slowly landed and gently placed Chu Tian down.
*Kacha kacha kacha...*
The mecha retracted, and Luo Luo's real body emerged.
She immediately rushed to Chu Tian's side.
"Don't worry, Boss will definitely be fine!"
Miao Zuo said from behind, glancing over.
"How do you know that?" Xiao Hei asked, confused.
Miao Zuo glanced around, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Just say it!" Xiao Hei urged.
Miao Zuo helplessly leaned into Xiao Hei's ear and said slowly, "A pillar reaching the sky, so vigorous and lively, how could he be in trouble?"
As he spoke, he pointed at Chu Tian.
Xiao Hei looked over and immediately rolled his eyes.
"What kind of theory is that?"
However, although Miao Zuo spoke into Xiao Hei's ear, his previous words had already attracted everyone's attention.
Although the few people remained composed, they had completely overheard his words.
The men, including Old Yang, Wei Du, and Old Li, all glanced at Chu Tian.
Then they exchanged looks and breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the other women, their faces blushed.
They quickly turned away.
Among them, Xiao Long Nu glared at Miao Zuo fiercely.
She was almost about to kick him.
Luo Luo also noticed Chu Tian's appearance at this moment.
Due to the heavenly tribulation, he was now completely naked.
Not a shred of clothing, not even hair remained.
His once jet-black hair had turned to ash.
His head was completely bald, and the same was true for other parts.
Luo Luo's face immediately turned red, and she knew Miao Zuo's words were not unfounded.
Taking out a bedsheet from the spatial bag Chu Tian had given her, she quickly covered Chu Tian with it.
"Uh..."
Seeing her action, everyone seemed to choke.
"What's wrong?" Luo Luo asked, confused.
"Luo Luo, pull it up a bit more, just cover Brother's face too!"
Zhao Lei said, covering his face.
"Ah?" Luo Luo didn't understand his meaning at first.
But when she looked down, she immediately understood what he was referring to.
The bedsheet she had taken out was pure white.
Paired with Chu Tian's current state of covered in blood, unconscious, and barely breathing, it gave the impression of covering a corpse with a white shroud.
She also felt a bit awkward.
"Alright, it seems we can't leave for now. Let's set up a tent!"
Jing Kaiyu also took out a pile of items from his spatial bag.
It was a simple tent.
"A tent? We have one right here!"
Miao Zuo's gaze swept over Chu Tian with a lewd grin.
"Get lost!"
Xiao Long Nu finally exploded and kicked him.
*Whoosh...*
As Miao Zuo was looking at everyone, preparing to see their reactions, he felt a pain in his stomach and doubled over like a shrimp.
His body was sent flying into the air.
Tracing a beautiful arc.
He was actually flung out of the area of Ascending Immortal Island.
*Plop...*
He fell into the turbulent sea.
