"Hmph, she's just a mere human, yet she dares to dream of withstanding the tribulation lightning of a divine beast. Her ultimate fate is to be torn to shreds," said the Ice Wolf Clan Chief.
Lord Longjiao, however, disagreed and said, "Don't judge a book by its cover."
The four clan leaders fell silent, and after a moment, their gazes toward Dongfang Mian became serious. Yes, at first they only looked at the surface and only remembered that Dongfang Mian was a human and had caused trouble during the assessment at the Divine Beast Mountain. They didn't know anything else and hadn't investigated in depth.
Looking back now, Dongfang Mian doesn't seem so simple after all. Otherwise, as the most numerous race in the Three Realms, how could an ordinary human easily form a contract with the ancestor of the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger clan? How could she have the ability to cause trouble during the Divine Beast Mountain assessment and now overcome numerous difficulties to stand at the end of this Four-Race Alliance assessment?
In mid-air, Dongfang Mian was unaware of their various speculations; she simply looked at Aju with concern.
Just as some of the four clan leaders had guessed, Dongfang Mian was not unaware that her existence would amplify the power of the lightning tribulation, but she was firmly bound to the spot by the soul contract and could not move.
As the tribulation lightning drew ever closer, Dongfang Mian tried her best to break free from the shackles of the soul contract, but ultimately failed.
Fortunately, she can move around now, though only within a short distance between herself and Aju.
At this moment, Aju was in a semi-comatose state, and in this state, the chances of successfully breaking through the enhanced lightning tribulation were too small.
However, the lightning tribulation had almost reached their heads. Helpless, Dongfang Mian could only fully activate her supreme bloodline to create an unprecedentedly dazzling water shield, then tightly hugged Aju, closed her eyes, and prepared to accept the lightning power of the tribulation.
The divine beasts below had no idea what it was, only assuming that Dongfang Mian had taken out some life-saving treasure. Only Lord Longjiao discovered the secret within.
So that's what the lady is... No wonder, only someone with such blood could be worthy of the title of Demon Queen.
Just as all the divine beasts were nervously awaiting the judgment of the lightning tribulation, for some reason the originally fierce lightning tribulation suddenly weakened, and then randomly struck down several times. The lightning that struck down destroyed Dongfang Mian and Aju, but did not even damage the outermost layer of the water shield. It was as if it had only tickled Dongfang Mian, and then faded away in everyone's incredulous gaze.
This...this tribulation is far too perfunctory. Divine beasts undergoing tribulation should at least suffer severe damage, if not death. Look at this one above, completely unaware, seemingly fast asleep in Dongfang Mian's arms, and it passed the tribulation so easily. How can those divine beast ancestors who died under the tribulation bear this?
"As expected..." Lord Longjiao exclaimed.
The legend is indeed true. It is said that the supreme bloodline is the child of heaven, protected by the heavenly way, and can be exempted from the suffering of tribulation. Presumably, Aju was able to pass through so easily this time because of Dongfang Mian's blessing.
Ah Ju successfully survived the tribulation of lightning, and the whole matter was now settled. No race could casually utter the words "expel the Crimson Tiger Clan" anymore. In fact, the throne of the Four Races Alliance Leader might fall into the hands of the Crimson Tiger Clan as a result.
Even if the other three clan leaders were unwilling, they were powerless to do anything. Even if they were unwilling to give up and called out to their sleeping ancestors, what could they do? Their own clan had as many ancestors as the Crimson Tiger Clan, and everyone's foundation was roughly the same.
