Unbeknownst to Chong Jiu, a pair of eyes were hiding in the clouds, glaring fiercely at the two of them.
Shu Jianyue was naturally unaware of this, as she was fully focused on mobilizing the absorbed energy to transform it into spiritual power for her breakthrough.
When he saw the tribulation clouds condense, Chong Jiu realized the problem. This was not an ordinary purple-gold lightning tribulation. It was a lightning tribulation combined with multiple layers of lightning pressure. No matter who was breaking through, they probably couldn't withstand this kind of power.
Chong Jiu looked up at the sky, seeing that the lightning tribulation was about to strike, and flew towards Shu Jianyue at top speed, "Yueyue, stop the breakthrough immediately, there's something wrong with the lightning tribulation."
Shu Jianyue was at a critical moment. Even though she heard his voice, she couldn't stop herself. At this moment, her spiritual power was filling her spiritual meridians, and she was about to break through.
Shu Jianyue opened her eyes and saw him anxiously flying over. She frowned and looked up at the sky. When she looked up, she almost went into a state of demonic possession.
Someone was plotting against her, so she steadied herself and transmitted her voice: "Husband, don't come any closer. I can go into my spatial dimension."
Upon hearing her telepathic message, Chongjiu immediately stopped and flew upwards.
The Way of Heaven, that thing they've all forgotten.
Shu Jianyue's breakthrough was imminent, and she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to. However, looking at the tribulation lightning about to descend from above, she probably had no choice but to enter the spatial dimension.
If that were to come down, she would either die or be severely injured.
Just as she was hesitating about whether to enter the space, the Divine Emperor Jade Pendant in her sea of consciousness lit up, enveloping her entire body in a light shield.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue smiled, closed her eyes, and continued her breakthrough.
Seeing that Chong Jiu was heading towards him, the Heavenly Dao immediately controlled the lightning tribulation to strike him.
Chong Jiu's cultivation level is not just for show; how could he not even avoid this kind of lightning tribulation?
After avoiding the lightning tribulation, they unleashed a series of palm strikes towards the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao used the clouds to dodge, then unleashed bolts of lightning upon Chong Jiu.
Chong Jiu moved with incredible speed, passing through bolts of lightning that struck down, and flashed to Tian Dao's side, grabbing him by the neck.
"If you hadn't come out and courted death, I would have forgotten to settle accounts with you."
The Heavenly Dao struggled as it looked at him, shouting, "I am the Heavenly Dao, you cannot touch me!" Its drooping hand continued to move.
Three bolts of lightning struck them one after another. Tiandao himself was not afraid; his lightning could not strike him, but it could definitely seriously injure Chongjiu.
Chong Jiu didn't even turn his head, just looked at him coldly, "Heh, there's nothing I can't do with this Venerable One."
Chong Jiu twisted and bent his neck, then quickly turned around, using his Heavenly Dao Body to block the three bolts of heavenly lightning that were about to strike.
The lightning struck him so hard it shattered him into pieces, leaving not even his soul behind.
You can mess with him, but you can't mess with his wife.
With the death of the Heavenly Dao, there is no one to command the tribulation lightning, and the original tribulation lightning will not dissipate automatically.
Chong Jiu looked down and saw that Shu Jianyue was still breaking through, and that she was covered by a white light shield, which he knew was to protect her. He breathed a sigh of relief.
But the lightning tribulation couldn't continue, so he began to mobilize all his power to control it.
He doesn't possess the innate control over everything that the Heavenly Dao possesses, so he can only resort to brute force to solve the problem.
However, before he could even make a move, the lightning tribulations began to weaken and eventually disappeared.
Chong Jiu frowned, observed his surroundings, and only landed after confirming that there was no one within a hundred miles.
At this moment, Shu Jianyue had entered the final stage of her breakthrough. After Chongjiu landed, he did not disturb her, but instead pondered the reason why the lightning tribulation had retreated.
He then looked at the light shield enveloping Shu Jianyue and pondered.
Shu Jianyue's hair moved without wind inside the light barrier, and with a surge of spiritual energy, she successfully broke through.
She not only broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm, but also, as she had predicted, broke through to the ninth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, standing on the verge of breaking through to the Divine Realm.
The psychic ability did not upgrade this time, but remained at the original level, level fifteen.
Water-based abilities are at max level.
Shu Jianyue checked herself over and, after confirming that everything was alright, opened her eyes.
What she saw was Chong Jiu's deep gaze fixed on her.
This was the first time he had looked at her like that, and Shu Jianyue couldn't help but frown and ask, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that the light shield of the Divine Emperor's Jade Pendant was still enveloping him, he quickly put it away.
Seeing that the light shield had disappeared, Chong Jiu stepped forward and helped her up, asking, "Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Shu Jianyue shook her head. "What happened to you just now?" She didn't like the way he looked at her. If she didn't find out, she would keep it in her mind and it would cause problems sooner or later.
"You looked at me strangely just now, is there something wrong with me?"
Chong Jiu shook his head. "No, I was just thinking about something." He then tidied his disheveled hair.
"I'm sorry, I startled you."
Shu Jianyue shook her head, "It's alright, it's all clear now."
"What were you thinking about just now, so engrossed in your thoughts?"
“I’m wondering who drove away the tribulation lightning. I dealt with the Heavenly Dao, so the tribulation lightning should have continued until it ended, but it suddenly stopped.” Chong Jiu said, looking up at the sky.
Shu Jianyue also looked up and asked, "Did you find out why?"
Chong Jiu shook his head. "No."
"Then let's not worry about it. As long as it's not something that will harm us," Shu Jianyue said with a smile, hugging him.
Chong Jiu looked down at her and smiled, "Yes, as long as they didn't want to harm you." Repelling the lightning tribulation actually saved her.
"By the way, what was that light shield that enveloped you when you broke through just now?"
When he asked about this, Shu Jianyue sighed and said, "A jade pendant bearing the identity of a God Emperor ran into my sea of consciousness. It was because of him that I had to take over the position of God Emperor."
Although Chong Jiu didn't know where she obtained it, since the Divine Emperor's Jade Pendant had chosen her as its master, she was the best candidate to become the Divine Emperor.
"By the way, I've broken through to the ninth level of the Golden Immortal Realm. I'm just a little short of breaking through to the Divine Realm." Shu Jianyue looked at him with a smile.
Chong Jiu bent down and kissed her, saying, "My lady is truly amazing. When we get back, I'll reward you handsomely." Judging from her eyes, it wouldn't be a good reward.
Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. Was it a reward or a punishment?
Chong Jiu stroked her hair and smiled, "Let's go, let's go back first."
After Shu Jianyue nodded, Chong Jiu flew with her towards Chongyao Palace.
"By the way, it seems the Boundless Realm hasn't been dealt with yet. Should we still throw it into the outer realm?" Shu Jianyue asked, looking at the receding landscape.
Chong Jiu shook his head and said, "There's no need. I've had Rong Jin handle it."
Shu Jianyue nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She didn't want to understand what "handling" meant.
Chong Jiu looked at her and asked, "Now that you're willing to assume the position of God Emperor, the Imperial Palace needs to be arranged in advance. What do you want to do? Rebuild it or modify the Chongyao Palace?"
Shu Jianyue looked at him and said, "Don't rush. Let me go see the late emperor's palace first. If it's possible, we can renovate it there. We don't need to touch Chongyao Palace."
"The late emperor's palace is a large and nice place, but it was used by Wujie." Chong Jiu felt disgusted just thinking about it.
