Chapter 996
Divine Transformation Tribulation
He stood on top of the metal Rubik's Cube.
Xiao Honglu's entire aura connected with the Emperor's Banner above his head.
And as the two merge.
Xiao Honglu's aura became terrifying at an astonishing speed.
Reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage is just a blink of an eye!
The Emperor's Banner absorbed less than one-tenth of the ocean of light.
The ethereal figure of Xiao Honglu, with his hands behind his back, looked at the flag above his head, which was billowing with black clouds:
"The path of gene lock, the path of cultivation, so this is it. It's a pity Chu Xuan is unconscious, otherwise..."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Xiao Honglu stopped speaking and instead looked down at the countless points of light.
"One hundred million broken human souls are enough to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and the half-step into the Divine Transformation stage."
"Truly worthy of being called demonic methods!"
As he spoke, Xiao Honglu waved his hand, and a crack appeared in the space in front of him.
Carrying the physical body behind him and the metal cube beneath his feet, he arrived at the Human Emperor Banner.
The previously dark vision suddenly brightened.
It was clear that the sun had already set halfway down, signaling that the day was drawing to a close.
From this vantage point, Xiao Honglu could vaguely see the curvature of the Earth.
At the ends of these arcs, countless points of light are rapidly merging into the Emperor's Banner.
He knew what these things represented.
But before they could continue absorbing the information, the opportunity that Xiao Hong Law Firm had been waiting for had arrived.

Saito and Cheng Xiao, who were flying at low altitude, did not dare to relax for a moment, and then caught up with Zhao Yingkong, who was at the front.
And just a few minutes later...
Cheng Xiao suddenly realized what was happening.
"Wait a minute, we're different from Li Xiao and his group. This isn't the route for the robot army, so there are no nuclear weapons. Why are we running?"
Saito, who was on the Green Goblin skateboard behind him, was stunned when he heard this.
Just then, Zhao Yingkong's cold voice rang out from the front.
"It's not to avoid nuclear bombs, but something even more terrifying than a nuclear explosion."
Cheng Xiao instinctively asked, "What is it?"
Zhao Yingkong replied, "Heavenly Tribulation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two streams of spiritual energy condensed into ribbons and were thrown out from the front.
After grabbing Cheng Xiao and Saito, Zhao Yingkong increased her speed again.
Because she sensed that this distance wasn't safe.
The sense of danger grew stronger, and she even had the illusion that no matter how far they ran, they couldn't escape.
-
The Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation into a Divine Being!
After realizing that the fundamental changes in the energy of heaven and earth had occurred.
On Earth, no matter where you are.
Every member of the Zhongzhou team raised their heads, sensing something amiss.
You know what's going to happen once the slugs start to open their mouths on them.
However, they did not expect that Xiao Honglu would actually complete what was originally just a simple idea in one go.
Amidst the ocean of billions of souls, the dense black on the Emperor's Banner grew even deeper.
However, the deeper the color, the more a layer of hazy, luminous light appears on the entire banner.
It's like how yin arises from yang and yang arises from yin.
What emerges from the deepest darkness is not black, but pure white.
At this moment, Xiao Honglu, whose figure was ethereal, saw many people.
Good people, bad people.
Good people, bad people.
Men, women.
A dense crowd, an endless stream of people.
And he heard a lot.
It seemed to be their obsession, yet it also seemed to be just an ordinary sentence…
"Oh, look at my Andrei, he's five years old now."
"Mommy, Mommy, I'm flying the kite."
"Here's your little red flower for today, you're great!"
"Sofia, I love you."
"Dumplings, time to eat dumplings!"
"You're Chinese too, what a coincidence, I am too."
"I got paid today, but I'm so tired."
"Dad, where's Mom? Is she outside the door?"
"Lollipop, five cents, here you go, change."
"Dad, you should eat too. The nurse said you never eat."
"A white lie is never deception. Look me in the eye, I'm doing this for your own good!"
"Run, run faster, you have to believe in yourself."
"Mom loves you, my child."
"Honey, you've pooped again. Come wash your bottom right now."
"It's okay, let's get up and try again. You're almost there."
"The goods are loaded. Let's go. Drive carefully, okay?"
"It's raining again. I hate rainy days the most."
"The results will be out tomorrow, are you nervous, Lena?"
"My little one, I'm sorry, Mommy has to go."
"Honey, do you know how happy I was all day today because our son called me 'Mom' for the first time?"
"God help me, please let this terrible war end soon."
"Hurry up, Agasa! It's finally raining! Quickly bring out the basin to catch it."
"Aren't you afraid? But I am! I'm afraid of dying..."
"If I win the lottery, I plan to buy my wife a tombstone so that when I visit her, she will have someone to lean on if I get tired."
"Thank you, darling, this is the most unforgettable day of my life."
"Today is your birthday, make a wish."
"Son, will you come back for Chinese New Year? I miss you."
"Honey, I'm in line at the hospital and might not be back for a while. You eat first."
"I'm sorry, my attitude was bad today, so could you make me some fried rice, sister?"
"Shave your head completely? Not a single bit left."
"I can't go back, but I miss home so much."
"Ride slowly, Dad will be right behind you to protect you."
"Son, do you know that your father no longer has a father?"
"Hehe, I'll let you in on a secret: I changed my flight so I could see you sooner, darling. Wait for me when I get off the plane."
"You liar, didn't you say you only love Mom?"
One by one, vivid lives unfolded before Xiao Honglu's eyes.
The three-year-old child held the lollipop in his hand, believing it to be the most important thing to him.
The five-year-old spent an afternoon catching the butterfly, and he realized that this was happiness.
A seven-year-old model student.
Summer vacation when I was nine years old.
A top-tier high school at the age of thirteen.
The sixteen-year-old girl.
An admission letter at age eighteen.
My first job at age 22.
A wedding at the age of twenty-four.
A 26-year-old standing outside the delivery room.
Thirty-three years old, oppressed by life.
His parents passed away when he was thirty-seven.
A beer belly at forty years old.
An accident at the age of fifty.
Some people are mismatched in marriage but end up with virtuous and good children.
A couple with a harmonious relationship were plagued by a long-term illness.
Some people are strong and healthy but have no money.
Some people are extremely wealthy but have no children.
He achieved fame at a young age, but died young.
He wasted half his life, but ultimately achieved great things.
Those with sincere feelings have all flowed away like water.
Those who have experienced the vicissitudes of life will eventually find their true love.
The children are intelligent, but they are like swallows that have left the nest.
The children and grandchildren are foolish, yet they are blessed with happiness and joy.
The appearances of all living beings...
The faces of all beings... The connections of all beings...
So this is what the human world is like.
Just as Xiao Honglu wanted to continue listening...
A distinctly different rhythm in the voice rang out, drawing out Xiao Honglu's emotions.
His gaze fell.
Light spots that pierce through the ocean and the Emperor's Banner.
Xiao Honglu saw a massive army of robots swarming in from the east.
And below are three enormous figures that have transformed into space battleships.
The illusory figure's chest heaved as it exhaled a breath of unpleasant air.
He then gave a knowing smile.
Xiao Honglu was very glad he made that choice at this moment, because if he had been a step later...
Or perhaps he and Zhao Yingkong chose a different plan.
Even if they don't suffer a complete wipeout, they will certainly be seriously injured.
And now…
Xiao Honglu lightly tapped his feet.
The Emperor's Banner suddenly trembled violently.
The dormant dark cloud atop the banner suddenly expanded, transforming into a black hole vortex with a diameter of ten thousand meters.
The wails and chants of millions of souls intertwined into a tangible wave of sound at this moment.
It was only for a moment.
The metal hulls of the three spaceships below cracked instantly.
The splashing electric sparks were like the embers of a dying star.
The light barrier, which had not yet been lit, was shattered into dust before it even appeared.
Feeling the power within, Xiao Honglu, his eyes radiating light, raised his hands.
The jet-black light rising from the Emperor's Banner condensed into countless needle tips.
It fell like a torrential rain.
A mechanical legion that arrived from afar.
It was pierced straight through by black raindrops.
However, these robots did not explode. Instead, they began to collapse silently, and a distorted light appeared inside their metal shells.
The fire energy within it was forcibly extracted.
Then, before Xiao Honglu could use his third move...
A smile appeared on the illusory face.
"They're really not giving us a chance. Well then, let's go!"
The words had barely left his lips.
The ethereal sky crumbled.
A purple-gold vertical pupil suddenly appeared within it.
Pupils appear, gazing downwards.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning that transcended dimensions struck the Emperor's Banner!
The instant the lightning touched the banner, the dark light on it suddenly transformed into an endless, devouring net, twisting the lightning into something resembling a spiral drill bit, and then piercing into the metal cube beneath it.
The once indestructible Spark Cube finally changed after encountering the Heavenly Tribulation.
The threads on it cracked, and the metal cube actually began to rotate rapidly, just like a Rubik's Cube.
However, as it rotated faster and faster, the metal cube began to expand in size.
Blood seeped from Xiao Honglu's seven orifices, and his body began to glow with a porcelain-like light amidst the heavenly lightning.
Meanwhile, on the surface of the illusory Xiao Honglu, the main body, a vast star map appeared.
Each star in this star chart contains countless points of light, and each point of light represents a soul.
As the star map spread across his entire body, the Emperor's Banner unfurled with a thunderous roar!
Because the second bolt of lightning had already struck.
The figure, along with the Rubik's Cube, was instantly submerged in the scene above 10,000 meters.
Purple lightning pierced the heavens and the earth.
However, it landed on the ground in an instant.
The three giant robots that had transformed into spaceships were about to take action when they were enveloped by lightning.
When the continuously flashing lightning disappeared.
The sky was suddenly empty.
Inside the crater in the ground, three disheveled, kilometer-long robots were using their hands and feet to support themselves.
The fact that these three kilometer-long robots were able to withstand such a powerful attack also reflects their formidable strength.
Xiao Honglu, who was wrapped in the Emperor's Banner, also reappeared.
Compared to before, the illusory body not only showed no signs of injury but also became even more intensely focused.
Somewhere, thousands of miles away.
The lightning tribulation power flowing across the ground became the last glimmer of light in Li Qingqing and Qingchen's eyes.
Upon realizing that the war was far from over, Qingchen immediately had the jazz take them on another space jump.
This time, however, I was just unlucky.
The distance didn't even escape the area covered by the Emperor's Banner.
When the first bolt of heavenly lightning tore the heavens and earth apart.
When all three members of the Jazz were knocked to the ground by the purple lightning.
Qingchen gave up on everything and plopped down on the ground.
His appearance changed again, when his eyebrows flattened.
Qingchen looked at Li Qingqing, who was also sitting opposite him.
He smiled slightly and spoke calmly:
I thought you would drag me away.
Li Qingqing shook her head and said with a smile.
"Another uncle just pointed to the sky and cursed once."
"He's asking a newcomer to handle a situation that requires a heavenly tribulation to break? Anyone who comes here will die..."
"...and so on, I didn't quite understand them, but they made me want to laugh."
As she spoke, Li Qingqing actually burst out laughing.
"But I also realized one thing: we probably can't survive."
Qingchen nodded slightly as he listened, looked into the distance, and said calmly:
"Yes, it's a certain death situation."
Looking at the terrifying lightning that lingered in the center for a long time.
Qingchen spoke again: "I thought you had a lot of questions to ask me."
Li Qingqing nodded seriously and said, "It existed then, but it doesn't exist now."
Qingchen became somewhat interested.
"Let's talk about the problems back then, since we still have some time."
Li Qingqing tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking: "Uncle, are you really mentally ill?"
Qingchen shook his head: "No."
Are you a psychologist?
"Yes."
Are you a game designer?
"Too."
Seeing Li Qingqing's puzzled look, Qingchen smiled and said:
“He was telling the truth, including that sentence: the last patient I saw as a doctor was myself.”
"It's just another version of myself."
Qingchen stopped looking at Li Qingqing and continued talking to himself.
"This person is special; he has another job and a lover."
"It's just that his lover is in a dream."
"But this dream is not a dream, but a series of dreams connected together."
“He dreams two or three days a week in which his lover lives a normal life, or even grows old day by day.”
"Year after year has passed, and he seems to have truly become a husband."
"They travel together, work together, and live together, just like any other normal couple."
“These symptoms are not actually serious from a psychological perspective, and I prescribed him the medication as usual.”
"But the first time he took the medicine, his lover stood at the door watching him and asked if he was leaving."
Li Qingqing looked at Qingchen, who had stopped, and asked:
"and then?"
"Have you taken your medicine? Or are you cured?"
Qingchen smiled.
"No, he gave up treatment and chose love."
"Alright, that's enough for now, damn it."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a third bolt of purple-gold lightning, piercing the heavens and earth, fell from the distant sky.
The violent lightning bolts flowed through the Emperor's Banner and the Fire Source Cube, then poured down without restraint onto the cratered earth. (End of Chapter)
