The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

[Xiao Yan: "My goodness, is Little Shi Hao cultivating so desperately? Is this a Heavenly Tribulation? It feels like the lightning won't be satisfied until it kills him…"]

[Fang Han: "Cultivating by using the Heavenly Tribulation, what a ruthless person. His bones were even blown apart…"]

[Lin Dong: "He's a ruthless person. This time, I truly acknowledge Shi Hao!"]

[Yang Qi: "Unbelievable!"]

[Luo Feng: "Actually, sometimes, I don't really want to become stronger!"]

Everyone in the chat group responded after seeing the video Shi Jian posted. They had not expected Shi Hao to be so ruthless. He had directly entered a Heavenly Tribulation to cultivate.

Watching the video, they felt the misery of his experience. He was struck until his flesh and blood scattered, and his bones shone brightly. Both of his arms were blown off, and he was almost cut in half by the Supreme Holy Light.

Under such circumstances, he still forcibly used his blood Qi and bones to piece himself back together, then confronted the lightning head-on. It was a true life-and-death tempering. It was simply too ruthless!

They remembered that when they had last seen Shi Hao just over a year ago, he was still a four-year-old child. Now, he had become a truly terrifying individual.

Hiss… even these powerful cultivators wanted to exclaim in awe at his ferocity.

Of course, Shi Hao was no longer a child. He had experienced a journey through time and space, and his mind had matured. Still, using this kind of life-and-death tempering to improve one's cultivation was admirable.

Even Xiao Yan, who cultivated using strange flames, felt that his own process was not as painful as what Shi Hao was enduring.

Shi Jian was about to say something when he suddenly noticed a change with Shi Hao. Due to the incomplete Heavenly Dao Law in that era, cultivators did not experience Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to new realms.

Shi Hao had presumptuously triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, thus incurring punishment. The lightning in the sky grew stronger with each strike.

After several Lightning Tribulations passed, the mountains trembled, and the sound of hooves thundered across the world. In the distance, a figure galloped forth on a warhorse, red as snow. The figure held a Fangtian Huaji, looking heroic and mighty, with Battle Intent soaring to the heavens.

"The lightning has become a spirit, holy moly…" Shi Jian decisively started a live broadcast with a shocking title: "Shocking: An old man was forced by a young man to…".

Everyone in the group flooded into the live stream. They saw a figure riding a mount within the lightning, appearing between heaven and earth.

"The Heavenly Tribulation has become a spirit?"

"Streamer, streamer, you mistyped the title. Where's the old man? Shouldn't it be the Old Heaven?" Bullet comments instantly appeared in the live stream.

[Shi Jian: "Shi Hao triggered the Lightning Tribulation, and it backfired. The ten-fold Lightning Tribulation couldn't kill him, so the Heavenly Dao called in a substitute!"]

Shi Jian stated his conjecture. The figure riding the mount within the lightning must be the projection of a Supreme expert from a certain era, or perhaps the Heavenly Dao itself was personally acting as a substitute. This situation was rare, so Shi Jian started a live stream for everyone.

Lightning Divine Abilities bloomed, pushing Shi Hao to a dead end. He unleashed all of his Profound Truths, launching various terrifying attacks against the Fangtian Huaji. However, he was not a match and was quickly struck until blood splattered. He was almost killed by the lightning and looked incredibly tragic.

Shi Jian and the others in the group were not worried about his safety, knowing he was the protagonist. He would not die. Shi Jian even knew there was a drop of blood within him. With that drop of blood present, let alone the Heavenly Dao of the Three Thousand Dao States, even the Heavenly Dao from Above the Heavens wouldn't dare to make a sound.

"The ten-fold great tribulation has emerged to kill me here, but I will not let you succeed. Six Paths of Reincarnation turns…" Shi Hao's Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Cultivation Technique appeared, and he roared as he charged forward.

The person and horse formed by the lightning were heavily damaged and flew backward. Shi Hao fiercely charged towards them, but more lightning descended and replenished them. The person and horse quickly regenerated and charged back, their combat power doubled.

This was a great terror. The opponent was unkillable. Every time it failed, its strength would greatly increase.

"Wow, it's so exciting, it feels like watching an anime! Little Shi Hao's roar is so powerful…"

"Streamer, streamer, this person and horse are indeed strong, but they rely too much on lightning. Do you have any other stronger but simpler opponents to recommend?" Various bullet comments filled the live stream.

"Yes, yes, there are nine more opponents as strong as this person and horse. There's Lao Tai from Yang Qi's world, Lao Hua from Fang Han's world, Lao Deng from Xiao Yan's world…" Shi Jian responded to the messages.

The few of them joked around, but they were all watching very seriously. Shi Hao's battle with this lightning creature was truly interesting. This lightning creature, formed from the Heavenly Tribulation, was extremely terrifying. The two of them fought for almost an entire night.

Shi Hao was practically half-crippled, his bones fractured—a truly miserable sight! The Supreme Vine was also struck until it was completely black. Shi Hao had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

He used all of his Great Five Elements Technique, Kunpeng Law, and Reincarnation Divine Ability. The battle was extremely difficult. Even though the people in the group knew he had the Protagonist Halo, they almost thought he wouldn't be able to hold on.

However, Shi Hao's eyes remained as blazing as the sun, and his Battle Intent never faded. No matter what severe injuries he suffered, he still gave his all without the slightest fear.

After an unknown number of times pushing that person back, the mounted creature finally disappeared into the lightning. Shi Hao's entire essence, Qi, and spirit were almost depleted. Both he and that lightning creature were ridiculously strong. No matter which one was blasted, half of their body could regenerate. And then they would fight again.

Finally, he successfully underwent the tribulation. Shi Hao's realm had reached the Great Perfection of the Venerable Realm. His various tendons and bones were fractured, but the cracked flesh was even tougher, shimmering with an indescribable radiance. His Primordial Spirit was incomparably brilliant.

A small figure walked out from between his eyebrows. The clouds in the sky trembled, and an unknown amount of lightning surged from all directions, enveloping him. This was the scattered Lightning Tribulation, and Shi Hao was absorbing these tribulation lights to strengthen himself.

Shi Hao had already undergone a transformation. Deep within the clouds was a pool, filled with a layer of precious liquid. It was also Shi Hao's gain.

He had undergone a difficult tribulation, narrowly escaping death and almost being crippled. Only then did he approach this pool of precious liquid, which showed how difficult it was to obtain. He opened his mouth and inhaled without hesitation, sucking the lightning into his mouth.

His limbs and bones stretched, and purple light repaired his physical body, mending the wounds. This lightning also contained vigorous life Qi. Various runes flickered on Shi Hao's bones; the runes of Original True Understanding, Great Five Elements Technique, Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, and His Transformation Freedom Law flowed between his flesh and bones.

Shining brightly, Shi Hao's physical body had just been shattered. Now, under the effect of this lightning liquid, the various cultivation techniques acted as needles and threads, beginning to repair his physical body. This was a great opportunity.

Lightning, as one of the most powerful offensive forces in the world, represented destruction. It was called the whip of the heavens and could strike down all strong individuals. In most cases, lightning represented destruction. However, this lightning liquid now gave birth to life Qi within destruction, making it even more precious and rare in the world.

Within decay and killing intent, there was a trace of origin life Qi. This perfectly aligned with Shi Hao's cultivation philosophy of "revitalizing life amidst destruction." Every time Shi Hao drank a mouthful of lightning liquid, his body would burst with Holy Light, and the purple Qi on his head would transform into Dao flowers, spreading all around him. Golden lotuses bloomed everywhere. A phenomenon had appeared here.

Shi Hao was constantly growing stronger.

"Envious until Kun'er turns purple…"

"The benefits of completing the Lightning Tribulation are truly amazing…"

"It makes me want to undergo a Lightning Tribulation in my world and test the waters…" After seeing this scene, the people in the group sent out bullet comments again.

"Awesome!" Luo Feng also exclaimed in surprise. No wonder Shi Hao's cultivation could surpass his. Such a ruthless cultivation method was something he couldn't learn.

Shi Hao had grown stronger again. Originally, both of them were at the bottom, but now Shi Hao was making rapid progress. Luo Feng felt a bit depressed. He continued to watch the live stream, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Shi Hao's entire body trembled and cracked once more. This was not the collapse of his physical body; it was like a snake shedding its skin, cutting off its past self to reveal a new self. This was a rebirth, and only the Lightning Tribulation liquid had such power to support a cultivator in undergoing a deep transformation.

What excited Luo Feng was the Supreme Vine that now appeared on Shi Hao's body. Shi Hao was in extreme pain, his bones suffering unimaginable agony. This was the legendary bone reshaping, recreating the primordial embryo. His old skin cracked and continuously fell from his body. An astonishing change occurred in him. His entire body was bleeding. Just then, the Supreme Vine emerged on his surface.

The Supreme Vine had undergone several transformations, and its current appearance no longer resembled a plant. Its entire body of vines had transformed into something resembling bone spurs, much like the "Soul Bones" from a certain floor tile world. The bone-spur-like vine suddenly pierced into Shi Hao's spine, then wrapped around a special bone.

The Supreme Bone. Shi Hao's four-turn Supreme Bone. Originally, Shi Hao had cultivated the two-turn Supreme Bone by using the Venerable Realm's Taotie. After encountering that drop of blood, he went back in time. With the help of that drop of blood, Shi Hao dug out his two-turn Supreme Bone and gave it to the Supreme Vine, then underwent a transformation.

He cultivated the three-turn Supreme Bone. Later, when he broke through to the Venerable Realm, he again dug out the three-turn Supreme Bone and cultivated the four-turn Supreme Bone. Now, Shi Hao wanted to use the Lightning Tribulation liquid to cultivate the five-turn Supreme Bone. To give birth to a new Supreme Bone, one must first dig out the old one.

The Supreme Vine tightly wrapped around the four-turn Supreme Bone. After the Supreme Vine contracted with Shi Hao, it was almost integrated with him. The two shared the same origin. Therefore, it was not difficult for the Supreme Vine to fuse with the Supreme Bone, and it had already fused twice, gaining experience.

Soon, the Supreme Vine fused with the Supreme Bone, and its bone-spur-like vines emitted bursts of divine light. The Supreme Vine grew stronger. After the Supreme Vine grew stronger, a surge of power was fed back to Shi Hao, its master. Shi Hao's weakness, caused by having his Supreme Bone dug out, was instantly replenished.

This was another hidden benefit. Unlike the one-turn Supreme Bone that was given to Shi Yi, after which Shi Hao almost died, now the one fusing with the Supreme Bone was the Supreme Vine. Since the Supreme Vine was almost integrated with Shi Hao, the action was like transferring something from the left hand to the right hand. Shi Hao suffered almost no loss.

His old skin peeled off, and his skin even contained bone fragments—a truly horrifying sight. Shi Hao frantically gulped down the Lightning Tribulation liquid, his internal life essence replenished, and he reshaped his primordial embryo.

A stronger physical body and an even more terrifying Supreme Bone formed within his body. This was a reconstruction at the level of life. When this reconstruction neared its end, Shi Hao stretched his body, which became slender, strong, and even more powerful. After multiple physical body transformations, his appearance had evolved from that of a baby to infinitely close to Shi Jian, becoming a handsome, dashing, and unrestrained youth.

The moment Shi Hao opened his eyes, divine light, like a sword, was incomparably sharp. His physical body and Primordial Spirit had undergone a deep cleansing, becoming even more terrifying. The Supreme Vine on his body also emitted an extremely terrifying aura, its bone-spur-like vines extending out, with terrifying power coiling around them. Various mystical runes flickered faintly on the Supreme Vine, shining like stars.

Luo Feng fell silent. He looked at the Supreme Vine, which was completely different from his own Cloud Swallowing Vine, and became utterly silent.

"Where the hell did this come from? Is! This! Still! The! Cloud! Swallowing! Vine?!"

"Didn't we agree to feed the Cloud Swallowing Vine milk? You actually fed it your own bones?"

On the screen, golden lotuses rooted in the Void Realm, and Shi Hao slowly walked through the Void Realm, accompanied by streaks of purple Qi, appearing as grand as a Heavenly God descending to the mortal world. He gently shook his hand. Those golden lotuses broke through the Void Realm and transformed into sacred killing Qi. This accompanying phenomenon truly materialized, becoming a means of attack.

Standing in the Void Realm, Shi Hao possessed an ethereal aura, as if he transcended the mundane world, like a terrifying immortal god. He stood up, and the surrounding golden lotuses swayed. He raised his hand and pointed to the sky; countless petals flew, indestructible, distorting the Void Realm and dispersing the clouds. This was not a divine ability but rather the use of his own sacred dharma manifestation.

Simply put, he possessed a phenomenon that could not only be used to show off but also to fight. He was incredibly powerful, incredibly sacred.

Luo Feng believed that he had made significant progress during this period. But seeing Shi Hao like this, he fell silent. He looked up at the sky at a ninety-degree angle, trying hard not to let his tears fall.

In his mind, he recalled the scene of everyone gathering at his villa a few months ago. The image of that baby appeared before his eyes, sneaking around, buying milk powder, and drinking beast milk—nothing but cute. But now, looking at Shi Hao, who was like a banished immortal in the live stream from the chat group in his Sea of Consciousness, Luo Feng spat.

"Little Brat, you disgust me!"
