At this moment, the Heavenly Dao was newly formed and still diligently perfecting its various Laws, hence each Transformation Heavenly Tribulation was unique.
This time, as both demon beasts were undergoing Transformation at the same time and were mother and child, the might of the Heavenly Tribulation naturally increased by several geometric multiples.
"Crack"
Within a radius of ten miles, all was enveloped by the Heavenly Tribulation. The Tribulation Clouds continued to gather, swallowing and spitting out lightning. Finally, after expanding to over twenty miles, it stopped.
"Mother, it's the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations!" Li Qingquan's voice carried a hint of gravity.
"Uh-huh! Little Er, focus your mind. Just a mere Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, what's there to fear!" Li Yanran comforted her son.
"Boom" Tribulation Thunder flashed with red light, violently striking down, and this time, it was two bolts at once.
"Hit"
Li Yanran lightly snorted, and two streaks of azure light shot out from her mouth, which in form, resembled two bamboos.
The bamboo, like shooting arrows, whooshed towards the Tribulation Thunder.
"Sizzle..."
The piercing sound cut through the air, and both bolts of Tribulation Thunder and the Green Bamboo disappeared without a trace.
"Crack, crack, boom"
Using the same method, the two beasts withstood bolts of Tribulation Thunder one after another. All the way up to the eightieth lightning strike.
At this time, the Tribulation Clouds continuously condensed, and as Li Yanran and the two beasts kept using magic, they also had to activate their Primordial Energy to protect themselves. The rapid consumption of their True Yuan was substantial, leaving hardly any left.
After all, they were demon beasts without combat experience. Had it been an ordinary Golden Immortal Level demon beast, they might not remain calm but would have still retained some strength.
"Little Er, are you scared?" Li Yanran stretched out a giant paw and patted Li Qingquan on the head.
"Not afraid! Just that I won't be able to play with brother in the future!" A trace of sadness flashed in Li Qingquan's eyes.
"Boom!"
Finally, the last bolt of Tribulation Thunder, with infinite might, bore down on the two beasts.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a loud roar came from beyond twenty miles away, actually overpowering the thunderous rumble of the Tribulation Thunder.
Looking up at the sky, the Tribulation Clouds had dispersed like smoke.
Streaks of golden light covered Li Yanran and her son. The bodies of the two beasts also shrank with the contraction of the golden light, slowly gathering towards the middle.
In an instant, as the golden light dissipated, the figures inside were revealed.
"Gold coatings on little mountains flicker, hair clouds wish to sweep across cheeks as white as snow. Reluctant to rise and pencil her brows, procrastinating in adorning and washing." Wen Tingyun's extravagant writing style perfectly depicted Li Yanran's charm at this moment.
She wore a light pink short shirt paired with a snow-white skirt, her waist-length hair casually draped behind her head. A beauty like this was a miracle in this world.
Looking again at Li Qing, his black clothing could not conceal his outstanding and exceptional figure.
His thick eyebrows slightly raised, beneath the long and slightly curled eyelashes were a pair of eyes clear as the morning dew. His upright nose, lips pink like rose petals, firmly pursed, exuding a sunny aura all over.
Li Qingming stood up and walked towards them with light steps.
"Mother, Little Er! Congratulations on your successful Transformation and initial achievement in Cultivation!" Li Qingming bowed deeply.
"Yay? Big brother, how did I become this ugly!" Li Qingquan touched his waist-length hair.
"Smack!"
Li Yanran gently smacked Li Qingquan, chiding with a smile: "Silly Little Er, this is the most suitable Innate Taoist Body for Cultivation."
Li Yanran bent down to pick up Li Qingming, her vermilion lips slightly parting: "Little Da, why do you still look like this? With your help and the Merit Cloud, we have become Golden Immortals, how come you still have not Transformed? Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"
"Mother, it's alright, let nature take its course!" Li Qingming touched Li Yanran's hair and said, "Cultivation is about following the natural order, we should not rush."
"Right, Mother! I want to explore that bamboo forest."
"Big brother, it's too dangerous, better not go!" Li Qingquan's face showed concern.
"Sizzling sound"
Li Qingming hopped from Li Yanran's shoulder onto Li Qingquan's head, grasping Li Qingquan's hair and started to tug fiercely, saying: "Don't look down on me because I'm small, I too am a Taiyi Xuanxian. My power is no less than yours."
...
Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest.
Indeed, this bamboo forest was eerie, as soon as one entered the Array, the whole thing naturally began to operate, and it was unknown what was being used as the array's focal point.
"Whoosh" A bamboo arrow aimed straight for Li Qingming's chest, Li Qingming did not wish to break the formation using the Controlling Bamboo Skill.
Therefore, he performed the Seven Star Steps, nimbly dodging the bamboo arrow.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" A string of bamboo arrows flew continuously, thick and fast, cutting off all Li Qingming's paths of retreat.
"Rise"
Li Qingming uttered a soft shout, light on his paws, spikes of earth abruptly emerged from the ground.
"Go"
Each earthen spike corresponded with a bamboo arrow, bamboo arrows and spikes burst in unison, nullifying each other.
Li Qingming grabbed a handful of soil and continued forward.
"Clang"
A light sound came from the sky, as a cage composed of ten thousand sharp bamboos enveloped Li Qingming from above.
"Sizzle"
As the cage fell, Li Qingming took a deep breath, looking at the cage now refined into a Magic Treasure, he was terrified.
"Thank goodness I'm small. The one who set this formation is extremely devious. He's refined all this Ten Thousand Bamboo into Magic Treasures."
Thinking of this, Li Qingming tossed the soil he held towards the cage in front of him, the tiny specks of dust, in the moment they were flung, suddenly darkened and expanded, surrounded by sparks of electricity.
From within the flurry of dust, a low explosive sound emanated.
In an instant, the entire cage cracked apart from top to bottom.
The bamboo transformed its formation into three layers.
The innermost layer of bamboo was blue, with a ghastly cold light, clearly extremely poisonous; the second layer resembled Wolf Fang Clubs, with reversed spikes standing tall on the bamboo joints; the third layer arranged in the Eight Diagrams, with a purple bamboo plant in each of the eight directions, guarding its territory.
