Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 266 The Tribulation at the Center: Breaking the Chaotic Situation

With a roar, the tribulation clouds churned violently, and countless bolts of lightning, as thick as an arm, intertwined to form a massive lightning net that descended upon Zhang Peng. Wherever the lightning net touched, the air was instantly ionized, emitting a hissing sound and filling the air with a pungent, acrid smell.

Zhang Peng looked up, his eyes showing no fear. He took a deep breath, channeling his chaotic power to its limit. The five-colored spiritual energy and chaotic energy merged together, forming a multicolored defensive barrier around him. The lightning net slammed heavily against the barrier, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful force caused the ground to tremble, uprooting surrounding trees and sending debris flying.

Zhang Peng's feet were deeply embedded in the mud as he desperately resisted the onslaught of the lightning net. His body trembled slightly under the immense pressure, and his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, but his gaze remained unwavering, fixed on the tribulation clouds in the sky. Supported by the power of chaos, the defensive barrier, though teetering on the brink of collapse, never shattered.

However, just as Zhang Peng was doing his best to resist the lightning tribulation, an invisible pressure quietly came and invaded his sea of ​​consciousness. Suddenly, images flashed through his mind: Su Yao and Xia Lijuan with tears streaming down their faces, Zhang Ziyang crying in his swaddling clothes, Qingyun Sect engulfed in flames, and the cultivation world suffering devastation... These images flashed by like a revolving lantern, each one piercing his heart.

Zhang Peng realized that this was the arrival of the Heart Tribulation. The Heart Tribulation is the most dangerous stage in the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. It will dig out the deepest fears and anxieties of the person undergoing the tribulation, thereby disturbing their state of mind. Once the state of mind is lost, one will fall into endless pain and confusion, unable to extricate oneself.

"No, I cannot be controlled by these illusions!" Zhang Peng roared inwardly. He activated his "Spiritual Eye" to try and break free from these illusions. Under the insight of his "Spiritual Eye," he discovered that the root of these illusions was a dark force that was trying to erode his soul.

Zhang Peng focused his mind, gathering chaotic power to launch a counterattack against the dark forces within his sea of ​​consciousness. The chaotic power, like a sharp sword, cleaved through the darkness, and the illusions gradually dissipated. However, the dark forces were extremely tenacious; under the attack of the chaotic power, they constantly changed form, attempting to invade Zhang Peng's consciousness once more.

Just as Zhang Peng was struggling against the mental tribulation, the lightning tribulation in the sky grew increasingly fierce. The lightning net continued to shrink, and the cracks on the defensive barrier increased, threatening to shatter at any moment. Zhang Peng felt that his spiritual power was about to be exhausted, and his body had reached its limit.

"Am I really going to have to stop here?" A flicker of despair crossed Zhang Peng's mind, but he quickly regained his resolve. He thought of the hardships he had endured along the way, the support of his family, and his responsibility to the cultivation world. "No, I will never give up!" he cried out in his heart.

Zhang Peng mobilized the last trace of chaotic power within his body and unleashed a mysterious technique recorded in the "Chaos Spiritual Scripture"—"Return to Oneness of Chaos." This technique completely merges the user with the power of chaos. Once unleashed, it grants immense power, but it also carries enormous risks. A slight misstep can result in being devoured by the power of chaos.

As Zhang Peng moved, his body was gradually enveloped by chaotic energy, merging with the surrounding chaotic power. His consciousness also became blurred, as if he had become one with heaven and earth. In this chaotic world, he felt an unprecedented power, a power that transcended life and death, and transcended time and space.

Using this power, Zhang Peng roared at the tribulation clouds in the sky. His voice contained boundless power, like a thunderclap, resounding throughout the heavens and earth. With this roar, the power of chaos surged towards the tribulation clouds like a raging tide, colliding fiercely with the power of the lightning tribulation.
