Chapter 215 Breaking Through the Collective Lightning Tribulation 2

Rewinding to before they emerged, Song Yin and the others tried every possible method to break free from the illusion of the Endless Blood Demon Pool. They even considered freezing the Blood Demon Pool, but it didn't work; those who couldn't get out still couldn't get out.

Mo You wondered, "That shouldn't be the case. We're all awake, and we all know the reason for the changes in the Blood Demon Pool. Why can't we see through this illusion?"

Unbeknownst to them, they were now enveloped by layers of energy from the Blood Demon Pool, as if encased in one eggshell after another.

However, both the encasing and opening of the eggshell require energy from the Blood Demon Pool.

Encasing them requires energy, and opening them also requires energy. The Blood Demon Pool, having been subjected to various disturbances, no longer has enough energy to release them, and can only remain sealed.

If the Blood Demon Pool could speak, it would surely say: Hungry! Hungry! Having helped countless beings reach their peak, purified the bloodlines of countless demons, and now its remaining energy is helping these cultivators either break through to the peak of the Mahayana stage or the peak of the Tribulation stage, it desperately needs nourishment!

However, Song Yin and the others felt that it was because their strength had not recovered to its peak, which was why they could not break such an obvious illusion.

At this moment, Xia Xining suddenly suggested that she and Han Wuyue should re-enter the inner illusion and try to decipher it themselves, so that they could restore their spiritual energy.

The rest of the people supported their idea.

Unfortunately, after several attempts, they were unable to return to that illusion.

The Blood Demon Pool, thoroughly exhausted by their antics: I said enough! Enough already! Doesn't it take time to enclose the eggshell?! Doesn't it take time to open the eggshell?!

Enraged, the Blood Demon Pool directly restored Xia Xining and Han Wuyue's spiritual energy, so that they wouldn't have any more thoughts about entering the inner illusion.

Restoring two is restoration, restoring three is also restoration. The Blood Demon Pool directly restored the spiritual energy of the weakest one, not out of appreciation for her not having developed a demonic aura.

Chu Tang was astonished after her spiritual energy recovered. She could feel the spiritual energy, and naturally, she could clearly sense the power of the Golden Core stage, which captivated her. She thought, if she were to experience such immense power and then be asked if she still desired it, she would definitely choose yes. Human nature is such that sometimes things seem irresistible!

Chu Tang: It smells so good!

With everyone restored to their strength, they launched another attack on this illusion, employing a variety of methods.

Blood Demon Pool: ...

It's only because the Blood Demon Pool is unconscious and cannot speak that he can stop them from cursing.

The Blood Demon Pool cannot do what was mentioned above, but the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm can speak for it, acting as its mouth.

"Can't you all just behave yourselves?! If you keep causing trouble, the Blood Demon Pool's energy will run out, and the Demon Realm will completely and forever lose the Blood Demon Pool!!!"

The sound exploded in the ears of both the people and the demon.

Even outsiders like Song Yin could recognize the importance of the Blood Demon Pool, let alone Mo You, a demon from this world.

Mo You immediately let out a sharp, explosive cry: "Stop! All of you, stop! Fight outside before you fight!"

Regardless of who the voice belonged to, Song Yin only asked one question: "Then how do we get out?"

The voice paused for a moment before replying, "Once the outside world replenishes its energy, we can naturally go out when the energy is sufficient."

Song Yin didn't haggle or question the other party; she simply sat back down in her chair and said, "Okay."

Outsiders don't have many demands, but the demons of this realm have quite a few.

Mo You: "Are you the Blood Demon Pool? Can you change the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood? I want a scene with blue skies, white clouds, lush green trees, and birds singing and flowers blooming."

Everyone looked at Mo You, their eyes seeming to say: So demons also like bright and healing environments?

"Stop looking at me with those stereotypical eyes! Who would want to live in a dark and lifeless environment for long!" Mo You said angrily, then continued to say to the voice, "We don't know when we can get out, or how long we'll have to stay inside, since time inside and outside are different."

"..."

The Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm remained silent. Whenever those brats from the Xuan Tian Realm made a request, He would definitely give them a severe beating, but the one making the request was one of His own brats.

Since the Blood Demon Pool's energy was insufficient to change the environment, it had no choice but to create a small backdoor on its own.

The endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood have been transformed into an endless, vibrant natural landscape, and all of Moyouti's demands have been fulfilled.

After the environment changed, the sound never appeared again. The group looked out the window; it truly was a beautiful place with clear weather and a pleasant temperature!

Now that the outside environment has improved, no one wants to stay cooped up inside the airship anymore, so they all fly out of the airship.

The Blood Demon Pool did indeed become the size Mo You had described before, a small pool of red water.

Song Yin stepped onto the grass, the air filled with the fragrance of grass and soil—the scent of nature.

No one said anything, but seeing such a view made everyone feel much more relaxed.

Song Yin took a deep breath, and only then did she think about all her experiences after leaving the Demon Realm. Suddenly, she asked Mo You thoughtfully, "How do I replenish my energy?"

Mo You's mouth moved faster than her brain: "Once the new Demon Emperor takes office, all the losers will be thrown into the Blood Demon Cave and the Blood Demon Pool." She didn't realize what she was saying after she finished speaking.

Song Yin glanced at the Blood Demon Pool behind Mo You, then back at Mo You, and said, "You're one of those who meet the requirements too."

In an instant, Mo You's hair stood on end: "Being trapped here might be a blessing in disguise! One day outside might be several years inside. All the trainees want to stay in the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool as long as possible, but unfortunately, they can only stay for a maximum of ten days or so!"

"You've also felt that the cultivation speed inside is faster than outside, right? Chu Tang is a perfect example; she broke through to the Golden Core stage before even reaching the altar. I also know you must have other ways to cultivate, just like how the demon race can cultivate in the Demon Realm! We can take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate inside; such opportunities are rare and precious!"

Mo You's mind had never worked so fast before.

Song Yin looked away. "I was just kidding."

No way, she can't stay in the Demon Realm with the others for too long, at least not more than two or three hundred years, too many things could change in that time.

However, since Mo You had already said that, she naturally wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Mo You managed to save his life, and kept praying in his heart that the new Demon Emperor would take the throne soon, or that his sister Mo Ying would take a younger brother or sister and throw them into the Blood Demon Pool.

Mo Ying spent four years outside to seize the position of Demon Emperor, while Mo You and the others cultivated for over 150 years in the illusion of the Blood Demon Pool.

Song Yin kept calculating the time in her mind. She was unsure of the time outside, but she was certain of the time inside. There were at most three hundred years in the illusion. If she still couldn't get out, she would use the Mo You as a key to open the door and leave.

Mo You had been cultivating diligently inside for over 150 years. When she came out and saw her older sister, she couldn't hold back and rushed over.

"sister--!!"

...

Mo Ying pushed her brother's head away. "That's roughly what happened. Who can tell us what happened inside?"

Rumble—

Thunder suddenly roared from the sky.

Both humans and demons looked up, enveloped by an invisible pressure that made them feel a chill.

Mo Ying: "I almost forgot that you had a tribulation lightning during your breakthrough, but this tribulation lightning—" Mo Ying was frightened. This was the first time she had seen such a powerful tribulation lightning, which was even more dangerous than the ascension tribulation lightning she had ever seen.

She could only be thankful that the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool wouldn't be destroyed by external forces; otherwise, if this lightning tribulation struck, they would surely be reduced to ashes.

Mo Ying flew away as if her feet were greased, leaving only one sentence in the air: "Come back and chat with me after you've completed your tribulation."

Mo You reached out: "Sis—! Did you just run away too easily? Don't you care about your little brother anymore?!"

Another voice came from afar: "It's alright, I have other blood-related brothers and sisters."

Click!

Listen to the sound of Mo You's heart breaking.

Song Yin patted Mo You on the shoulder, then looked at him and sighed deeply, "Ah~" The sound contained sympathy, pity, ridicule, and amusement, with ridicule and amusement being the most prevalent.

After sighing, Song Yin gripped her sword and flew away. The lightning tribulation was clearly not just for one person; it was a collective lightning tribulation.

Shi Heming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sigh!" Then he flew away in a different direction, but he was still closest to Song Yin.

Next came Xia Xining, then Han Wuyue and the others, who took turns patting his shoulder with the same "sigh."

Finally, Chu Tang patted him on the shoulder and didn't sigh for a long time.

A warm feeling welled up in Mo You's heart. "You won't laugh at me, will you?"

Chu Tang shook her head and let out the longest sigh, "Sigh..."

Chu Tang flew away, leaving Mo You behind. Soon after, a bolt of lightning struck down and hit Mo You.

Mo You, who had fallen face down, shakily raised his arm and then gave a thumbs up. He knew that Mo Ying would be watching her from a safe place in the distance.

Mo Ying was indeed in a safe place at a distance, keeping an eye on the situation within the range of the lightning tribulation with her divine sense. She couldn't care about anything else that was too far away; she was only paying attention to the Mo You lightning tribulation.

Mo You's trembling thumb, which had been raised, quickly flipped over, turning downwards.

After flying far away, Song Yin felt safe, but as she flew on, she felt something was wrong again. Why was the biggest dark cloud still chasing her?

Before she could think, Shi Heming's voice rang out.

"Oh no, Yinyin, this is the Demon Realm. Breakthroughs without tribulation lightning will fail! I must keep my distance from you. Our tribulations cannot be concentrated together, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

"..."

"Damn it!" Song Yin finally couldn't hold back and swore elegantly.

She immediately distanced herself from Shi Heming.

That day, thunder rumbled continuously near the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool in the Demon Realm, attracting many demons to watch. Some said it was an ascension tribulation, and Jing Yue, upon hearing this, also rushed to join the excitement.

She picked and chose to look at the strongest lightning tribulation, and then discovered that the strongest lightning tribulation belonged to Song Yin, while Shi Heming's was slightly inferior. However, the power of the lightning tribulation of the two of them was precipitously strong, while the lightning tribulation of Xia Xining and the others was like a drizzle in front of these two.

Mo You and the others have already completed their tribulations, but Song Yin and Shi Heming's tribulations are still ongoing.

Mo Ying didn't leave either. Instead, she stayed with the humans who had just survived their tribulations and watched from afar as Song Yin and Shi Heming underwent their tribulations.

Xia Xining, who had just survived her tribulation, was dumbfounded. "The power of these two tribulations was too strong."

Mo Ying's expression was complicated. "Their tribulation lightning is stronger than any ascension tribulation I've ever seen."

Mo You: "What? They're undergoing the tribulation of ascension?!"

Jing Yue quietly emerged, "No, they are Mahayana lightning tribulations."

"The Mahayana tribulation is stronger than the ascension tribulation?" Mo You, who had lived in the Xuan Tian Realm for decades, blurted out, "Could they be evil cultivators? Otherwise, why would the tribulation want to kill them?"

Xia Xining and the others turned their heads in unison, "Shut up!"

A thorny bramble struck Mo You directly on the buttocks, causing Mo You to jump three feet high and cry out in pain.

Jing Yue, who was ready to ascend at any moment, rarely apologized to the weak: "I'm sorry, my thorns are a bit disobedient."

Mo You, riddled with several bloody holes, felt wronged but couldn't say anything, so she silently moved to another spot.

Mo Ying didn't even glance at him, "That's what happens when you speak without thinking."

The tribulation continued, and Song Yin was already numb, so she used all sorts of trump cards one after another.

The demons watching the lightning tribulation kept making sounds.

"Wow, you can wield a sword so skillfully?"

"No, how come she's faster than Lei Dian?"

"Hiss, every move is fierce, and every move hits its mark."

"This is the first time I've seen someone so ruthless as to block all the lightning tribulations."

"No, a lightning tribulation was about to strike her, so why did it retract? How can a falling lightning tribulation rise again?"

Song Yin, who merely shifted the timing of the tribulation backward: The power of the Great Dao Laws, kid, you don't understand, do you?

"Let's not even talk about her. The people at the other venue are amazing. They use talismans and formations freely, and set them up and draw them on the spot after they're done!"

"Did you see his formation? What's with the threads that are popping out? Each thread can actually withstand a lightning tribulation? Although they dissipate after being blocked, there are countless threads in the formation, and they keep popping out?"

Mo You thoughtfully explained to her sister, "The two of them are Daoist partners. Elder Song cultivates both alchemy and swordsmanship, while her Daoist partner cultivates both talismanic arrays." This was no secret in the Immortal Firmament Sect.

Mo Ying was alarmed. Fortunately, she hadn't made things difficult for these human cultivators! It was good that they weren't involved in the struggle for the Demon Emperor's throne; whoever won them over would be the one to win over.

...

Finally, the last bolt of lightning struck, and Song Yin longed to lie down on her back. But this place was mostly inhabited by demons, and to save face in front of the outsiders, she planted the Qingyang Sword in the ground and insisted on standing.

She looked up at the sky, cursing in her heart.

"Tiandao! Come out!"
