Tribulation qi raged across the heavens and earth.
A towering black pillar, swirling with a storm of tribulation qi, stood tall, devouring everything around it. For miles in every direction, not a single living thing survived. Everything had been refined into pure energy. Even the immortal essence had been entirely consumed, leaving the once magnificent Tianlong Mountain Range in complete ruin—its appearance now worse than the mortal realms below.
At this moment, from within the terrifying storm of tribulation qi, the true form of the Core of the Tribulation emerged.
It appeared as a massive tail, covered in hundreds of eyes. Each eye shot out beams of black light, piercing through the void. Despite Immortal Fuguang's fierce attacks, the core twisted its tail, and the countless black beams intertwined to form an inescapable web, wrapping tightly around the dragon summoned by Immortal Fuguang, continuously draining its power.
