Chapter 2269
The five people held their breath, the atmosphere so heavy it was almost frozen, and they even breathed very softly.
"call--"
Suddenly, Piaoxue's eyes narrowed. She looked up at the sky above the core of the ocean and said in a deep voice, "It has begun."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan and the others all looked up and saw that wisps of dark clouds were gathering from all directions above Qing Tian Yu'er's head, expanding continuously until they almost covered the entire area shrouded by the great formation, and the light in the world suddenly dimmed.
"As expected of someone with a physique that combines divine and demonic body refinement and Qi cultivation, the tribulation clouds of this first-class heavenly tribulation are twice as vast as those when I underwent my tribulation." Piaoxue stared at the dark clouds that blotted out the sky and said with a solemn expression, her tone carrying a hint of apprehension.
"Let's back a bit more," Xia Jiuyou said in a low voice, tugging at Chen Xuan's sleeve.
"We must not let the tribulation clouds detect our presence, otherwise the Heavenly Dao will judge us as 'assisting the tribulation,' and the intensity of this tribulation will directly soar to the strongest level among the five of us. At that time, Yu'er will undoubtedly be defeated."
Before the words were even finished, Piaoxue, Qiu Zixian, and Lu Xueqi had already retreated in unison. Chen Xuan also followed Xia Jiuyou and retreated a thousand miles, completely creating a safe distance from the tribulation area.
sizzle-
Boom boom boom——
The accumulation of the calamity clouds was far faster than imagined.
In just a few breaths, a gigantic tribulation cloud, large enough to blot out the sun, had already formed. As the dark cloud rolled, countless silver-purple lightning bolts shuttled and roamed within it, emitting ear-piercing hiss. At the center of the tribulation cloud, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment was frantically accumulating world-destroying lightning power.
"The lightning is gathering rapidly; Sister Yu'er should already be undergoing her tribulation." Piaoxue gazed at the churning tribulation clouds, her voice trembling slightly, as if recalling her own terrifying tribulation.
"I wonder what kind of divine wind she encountered."
Xia Jiuyou nodded solemnly:
"Wind tribulation and fire tribulation are both invisible tribulations that outsiders cannot see at all. They are born directly in the cultivator's body, traveling and colliding along the eight extraordinary meridians, tempering the five internal organs. If one cannot withstand the tearing of the divine wind and the burning of the divine fire, the cultivator will either be torn to ashes by the wind or refined into a skeleton by the fire, with both soul and spirit destroyed."
"That's right." Lu Xueqi nodded in agreement, her tone heavy.
"According to the ancient records of the sect, cultivators who perish under the tribulations of wind and fire alone account for more than 30% of those who fail to transcend the tribulation, which is quite dangerous."
Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian remained silent, their gazes fixed on the slender yet upright figure at the edge of their vision, their eyes filled with worry and expectation.
"With Yu'er's foundation, she should be able to withstand the tribulations of wind and fire without any problems," Chen Xuan said slowly, his voice deep and firm. He then looked up at the increasingly terrifying tribulation clouds.
"The real life-or-death crisis is the upcoming tribulation of lightning, and the most unpredictable tribulation of inner demons."
Divine winds howled, divine fire raged, and an invisible calamity ravaged Qing Tian Yu'er's body for three whole days.
For the past three days, she has stood proudly beneath the Eye of Tribulation Clouds, her body trembling and her breath fluctuating, yet she has never fallen, enduring these two rounds of body tempering tribulations.
"The tribulation of wind and fire is over!" Piaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, her tense shoulders relaxing slightly.
"Next comes the first tribulation lightning, with a very short interval between them. Yu'er must adjust her condition as soon as possible," Qiu Zixian said solemnly, cold sweat already seeping from her palms.
Chen Xuan gazed at Qing Tianyu'er as she slowly opened her eyes, and silently transmitted his thoughts to her: "Yu'er, hang in there, your husband is here with you."
Having just escaped the agony of the wind and fire calamity, Qing Tian Yu'er looked up at the tribulation clouds above, her eyes sharp as swords. She suddenly waved her hand and shouted, "Great Formation, activate!"
hum-
Eighty-one pre-prepared array plates rose into the air simultaneously and were activated instantly.
In an instant, eighty-one layers of dazzling array patterns lit up, as clear and transparent as glass, firmly protecting Qing Tian Yu'er in the center. They contrasted with the terrifying tribulation clouds, causing the world to flicker between light and shadow.
The moment the great array's protective light illuminated, it seemed to have angered the heavens above. The tribulation clouds churned even more violently, and after several breaths—
Shila-
The world suddenly went dark, and then a blinding white light tore through the sky!
slam-la-
A bolt of silver-purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, suddenly shot down from the eye of the tribulation cloud like a dragon's claw, carrying a world-destroying force, and crashed straight into the eighty-one layers of protective array!
boom!
The great array's protective barrier shook violently, with ripples spreading outwards. Its radiance dimmed slightly in an instant, but it ultimately withstood the impact of the first lightning tribulation.
Under the glow of the array of lights, Qing Tian Yu'er held her sword in both hands, sat cross-legged, and seized the brief moment to frantically circulate her cultivation technique to recover from her injuries.
The various rare and precious auxiliary pills prepared before the tribulation flowed into his stomach like water, transforming into pure medicinal power that quickly repaired the internal organs and meridians severely damaged by the wind and fire tribulation.
slam-la-
The second bolt of lightning followed immediately, arriving only four breaths after the first. Its power was several times greater than the first, and it slammed heavily onto the great formation!
Puff puff--
The nine-layered protective array shattered one after another like bubbles, and the light shield shrank by more than half in an instant. Fortunately, it still managed to block the second lightning tribulation in the end.
This grand formation was originally designed to buffer the first few lightning tribulations. The formation's core is connected to a massive amount of pre-stored elemental energy, so the person undergoing the tribulation doesn't need to be distracted by controlling it; it can automatically defend itself simply by activating it.
The residual power of the second lightning tribulation gradually dissipated. At this time, Qing Tian Yu'er had completely repaired her internal organ injuries with the help of the elixir, and her aura rose to its peak again.
Hula la——
Rumbling--
The third and fourth bolts of lightning arrived in quick succession, each more powerful than the last, crashing down on the great formation like a stampede of ten thousand horses.
Under the continuous terrifying impact, the eighty-one layers of the top-grade immortal array teetered on the brink of collapse, with only the last six light shields remaining, trembling violently in the aftershocks of the thunder, as if they would shatter at any moment.
This shows that the power of this level of heavenly tribulation is terrifying to the extreme.
Upon seeing this, Qing Tianyu'er's eyes narrowed, and her figure suddenly swelled up!
"The laws of heaven and earth!"
With a delicate shout, her divine and demonic aura surged, and her three-headed, six-armed Dharma form appeared. Her figure rose straight up to a height of six hundred feet, standing between heaven and earth like an ancient god and demon.
She waved her hand to dispel the last six great array light shields, and her six arms each grasped a celestial-grade divine weapon, their sharpness fully revealed, exposed without fear beneath the Eye of Calamity Clouds.
This act of proactively breaking through the formation and directly confronting the heavenly tribulation undoubtedly thoroughly angered the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
Sizzle—
Within the tribulation clouds, countless bolts of lightning converged wildly, weaving into a boundless sea of lightning, which then crashed down upon Qing Tian Yu'er like a reversed Milky Way and a tsunami!
"break!"
The six-hundred-foot-tall divine magic figure brandished six divine weapons and fiercely slashed at the sea of lightning!
