Chapter 1056: Chapter 548: Qingyang’s Promise

Before long, Sword Master Feng arrived at the back mountain of the Seven Profound Sect, the location of the Tribulation Crossing Platform.

Seeing Li Mu channeling the Power of Chaos beside the Tribulation Crossing Platform, the thunderclouds above churned ceaselessly, and the Artifact Tribulation had entered a fevered stage.

"Greetings, Sword Master!" Qin Wentong hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Sect Master is currently assisting with the artifact’s tribulation crossing and cannot afford any distractions."

"I know the gravity of the situation. I didn’t expect Elder Li to refine another astonishing Dao Artifact. Such Artifact Refining Skill is truly what we dream and long for." Sword Master Feng looked at the tribulation thunder overhead, eyes full of admiration for Li Mu.

At this moment, the sound of "boom boom" thunder resounded without pause, countless thunderbolts madly striking down.

However, amidst the countless lightning bolts, a black vortex suddenly burst forth like the gateway to an abyss, instantly devouring the surrounding thunder light, dyeing the rampant thunderclouds above the Tribulation Crossing Platform with an ominous dark hue.

At the center of the vortex, an ancient and mighty aura quietly awakened.

As the black vortex spun faster, surges of black Spiritual Power gushed out like entities, intertwining and condensing in the air, gradually forming a massive silhouette—a fierce Black Dragon, surrounded by blue lightning, its eyes like the deep night sky, gleaming with wisdom and wildness.

Heaven and Earth changed color, the thunder in the clouds trembled, and blue lightning madly bombarded the Black Dragon, yet the powerful energy barrier enveloping the Black Dragon fiercely clashed with the lightning, emitting dazzling light and deafening roars.

The Black Dragon raised its head and let out a long cry, filled with disdain for the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation. Its body became more agile under the baptism of lightning, scales glistening with a metallic black sheen, flapping its massive dragon wings to create terrifying whirlwinds, as though it was the master of this world, impervious to any binding power.

The Black Dragon’s rampant manner angered the Thunder Tribulation, causing the thunderclouds to churn even more violently, as if the entire sky was roaring in rage. The once-blue lightning was gradually mixed with purple lightning, signaling a more terrifying and pure Thunder Tribulation Power, heralding the most perilous phase of this thunder tribulation.

Facing this sudden change, the Black Dragon showed no trace of retreat; rather, it became even more excited, blue eyes glistening with intense Spirit Light, raising its head to sing long, the dragon’s song filled with fighting spirit and resolution.

"Crack!" A massive purple thunderbolt, unprecedented in thickness, suddenly tore through the heavens like a whip of the Celestial God’s fury, striking directly at the Black Dragon, the power contained within it sufficient to fracture mountains and reverse rivers, being the purest Power of Destruction in Heaven and Earth.

Seeing this, the Black Dragon’s muscles tensed, and its blood seemed to boil beneath its scales, a power like never before surged within its body. It took a deep breath, opening its massive maw, seemingly aiming to swallow that destructive purple thunderbolt.

"Roar—!"

The Black Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, filled with defiance and arrogance, and it swung its dragon head, its huge body traced a beautiful arc in the sky, directly confronting the purple thunderbolt.

As the two collided in the air, they erupted in an exceedingly brilliant light, as if the entire Heaven and Earth were illuminated by this light, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.

The purple thunderbolt fiercely dashed against the Black Dragon’s energy barrier, and the two forces were evenly matched, proving difficult to distinguish the upper hand. Yet, the Black Dragon wasn’t content with this; its power continued to surge, seemingly eager to break through all constraints and reach a higher realm.

Li Mu furrowed his brow, forming techniques with his hands, madly channeling the Power of Chaos toward the black giant dragon, aiding the Spirit Transformation of the Merak Ring to resist the Tribulation Thunder Power.

"Such a fine Dao Artifact, the Artifact Spirit transforms into a dragon, crossing the tribulation with such ease!"

Seeing this, Sword Master Feng couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. It was his first time witnessing an artifact crossing a tribulation and seeing it this grand.

Qin Wentong and the two observing elders were also astonished; they had never witnessed such an awe-inspiring scene. The Black Dragon danced gracefully amid the thunder light, each turn and roar seemingly proving its extraordinary might.

Finally, after enduring countless baptisms in thunder light, the thunderclouds began to gradually dissipate, and the sky returned to tranquility.

The Black Dragon slowly shrank, eventually gently landing in the palm of Li Mu’s hand, reverting to the form of a Storage Ring. At this moment, having successfully crossed the tribulation thunder, the Spirit Ring was no longer an ordinary Dao Artifact; it possessed life, power, and limitless potential.

"Congratulations to Elder Li on the successful tribulation crossing and enhancement of your foundation." Sword Master Feng walked toward Li Mu, sincerely congratulating.

"Thank you, Sword Master, for the praise. The transformation of this ring was also a fortuitous coincidence." Li Mu smiled faintly, placing the Merak Ring back on his finger, where its surface flowed with a deep black light, occasionally flickering with subtle Power of Space-Time.

Qin Wentong and the two elders also stepped forward, congratulating Li Mu, as the atmosphere in the back mountain became lively and joyous following this magnificent tribulation crossing.

Afterwards, the group returned to the sect, with Li Mu leading Sword Master Feng to the Assembly Hall.

The sudden visit from Sword Master Feng surely involved important matters. After dismissing others, Li Mu directly asked, "Sword Master, for you to rush here, may I know what urgent business requires your personal attention?"

Sword Master Feng took a gentle sip of fragrant tea and slowly spoke, "Elder Li, my visit this time indeed concerns a significant matter that requires your counsel."

"Please speak, Sword Master. I am all ears," Li Mu replied solemnly, straightening his posture.
