Chapter 319 You call this tribulation?
Zhou Jue's pupils reflected Sun Jiuchou's gentle smiling face.
Without saying a word, she was about to step forward and punch him twice when she realized that the belated tribulation lightning was about to arrive in that space.
She neither saw nor heard the thunder, but she knew in her heart that the tribulation was coming.
Without thinking twice, I quickly left, scanned the area with my divine sense, found an uninhabited Gobi Desert, and immediately flew there at full speed.
I just sat down cross-legged.
"Boom—!"
Above, the gray-yellow sky had been thickened with heavy, leaden clouds.
Dark clouds rolled and streaks of blinding silver lightning flashed wildly through the clouds, weaving a net that stretched across the sky.
A powerful pressure originating from heaven and earth descended with a thunderous roar.
Zhou Jue's expression changed instantly.
Judging by the momentum, this lightning tribulation is going to kill her!
To make matters worse, there was no preparation or props this time.
She looked up at the thunderclouds overhead that seemed to press down on her face, then turned to look at the calm, collected figure who had followed her from afar.
A surge of intense, pent-up anger rose to the top of his head once more.
She has no time to settle scores with Sun Jiuchou right now; she can only focus on dealing with the lightning tribulation.
Zhou Jue gritted his teeth, took out the leaves and crystal cores he hadn't used up before, and quickly drew talismans and set up an array before the lightning struck.
Sun Jiuchou did not move.
He simply stood quietly in place, looking up at the thunderclouds; no one could understand the look in his eyes behind his glasses.
"Crack—!"
Two silver lightning dragons, as thick as water buckets, tore through the sky, bringing with them an aura of annihilation, and slashed down!
"Good timing!"
Zhou Jue roared, neither dodging nor avoiding, and pushed his Nascent Soul stage spiritual power to its limit, forming a golden protective aura on his body as he took the initiative to meet the attack!
"boom--!!!"
Lightning flashed, instantly engulfing her figure.
"Cough...cough cough..."
As the lightning dissipated, Zhou Jue knelt in a newly appeared charred crater, his body emitting blue smoke, his hair standing on end.
The protective aura around her body was already cracked under the first lightning tribulation.
A burnt smell mixed with excruciating pain spread through my limbs and bones.
Before she could even catch her breath.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two more lightning bolts struck in quick succession, each one thicker and more violent than the last!
Zhou Jue gritted his teeth and broke them, but instead of activating the formation, he once again resisted with his bare body.
"puff--"
Zhou Jue spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was slammed hard onto the ground, and his bones felt like they were shattered.
The excruciating pain caused her vision to blur.
At this moment, the suppressed anger and humiliation, which had nowhere to be vented, completely erupted.
She scrambled to her feet, ignoring the blood on her lips, and pointed at the rolling thunderclouds overhead, cursing loudly.
Damn you, God!
"Are you fucking blind?!"
"You weren't here when I was risking my life in that godforsaken place! Now you're having a good time chopping things up!"
"If you want to kill me, just say so! Do you have to play games like this?!"
"boom--!"
The third double lightning tribulation, as if enraged by her provocation, transformed into a ferocious lightning beast, roaring as it pounced down.
Whether it was Zhou Jue's anger that unleashed his potential, or his strength that had increased after surviving two tribulations, he managed to withstand the lightning strike and was not knocked down.
After cursing the heavens, she still felt unsatisfied, so she suddenly turned her head and looked at the culprit in the distance.
"Sun Jiuchou!"
Her voice, imbued with spiritual power, pierced through the thunder and carried clearly.
"You bastard!"
"You just wait and see!"
"Didn't you want to see my limits?!"
"I'll show you today!"
In the distance, Sun Jiuchou's figure flickered in and out of the lightning. He seemed to be... raising his hand to adjust his glasses?
"Boom!"
Two more lightning bolts intertwined, forming a massive electric net that descended upon them!
"Aaaaaah!"
Zhou Jue let out a roar that sounded inhuman. She stopped simply defending herself and instead charged into the electric grid.
She allowed the raging power of the thunder to tear her flesh, temper her meridians, and bombard her primordial spirit!
Then he frantically converted the power of the lightning tribulation into spiritual power to heal his wounds!
The pain drove her to the brink of madness.
She endured inhuman torture while striving to refine the lightning tribulation!
The fifth lightning tribulation struck.
Zhou Jue's body had become a bloody mess, with many parts revealing bare white bones.
But her aura only grew stronger! In the tribulation of lightning, she not only forged her flesh and bones of steel, but also forged her will.
The sixth time, the seventh time, the eighth time...
Zhou Jue's body was almost split in half at the waist.
Within the dantian, the newly formed primordial spirit was also entangled in electric arcs, its brightness fluctuating.
The ninth tribulation of lightning has arrived. This one is both a tribulation of lightning and a test of one's conscience!
At this moment, all the dark clouds in the sky contracted and condensed into a single point.
A terrifying bolt of lightning, no longer silver but carrying a hint of destructive purple, descended silently.
In that burst of lightning, Zhou Jue seemed to see his own future.
At this moment, her will also reached its peak.
Then, she opened her arms and bravely faced the purple destruction.
"boom--!!!!!"
...
I don't know how much time has passed.
When Zhou Jue regained consciousness, she found herself floating in mid-air.
The sky was clear of dark clouds, revealing a deep, clear blue.
A stream of vibrant, life-giving rain fell from the sky, landing on her broken body.
The charred flesh was peeling away at a visible speed, revealing new skin that was smooth and flawless.
The broken bones are being rebuilt, stronger than ever before.
Within the dantian, the primordial spirit bathed in lightning completely shed its mortal form, becoming crystal clear and radiating a faint divine glow.
Her consciousness spread out like a tide.
Thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters, hundreds of thousands of meters...
The entire Gobi Desert, the distant mountains, and the underground mineral veins were all within her perception.
She could even sense that with a single thought, she could carve out a small, independent space of her own within this area.
The Nascent Soul stage is now completely stable.
Zhou Jue slowly opened his eyes, feeling the unprecedented power within his body, a power that seemed capable of moving mountains and filling seas.
A thought suddenly occurred to her.
The Starry Secret Box, which had been out of contact with her for a long time, was now opened, and she immediately found herself some clothes to put on.
I'm back.
They're all back.
Zhou Jue let out a long breath, and a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
She fell from mid-air, turned around, and looked into the distance.
Sun Jiuchou was walking slowly toward her.
Zhou Jue clenched his fist, feeling the tiny arcs of electricity crackling at his fingertips, and was just about to speak.
Sun Jiuchou's gentle voice rang out.
How are you feeling?
"The lightning tempering technique seems to be working even better than expected."
