Just as Chu Wanwan's body was about to fall into the lava below, a white figure rapidly approached. The newcomer was dressed in snow-white robes, his posture upright like a pine tree—it was Long Jiu. His eyes were cold, his face tense, and he exuded a powerful aura.
With a wave of his hand, a powerful divine barrier instantly rose, enveloping Chu Wanwan and blocking the continuously falling magma. The dark red magma crashed against the divine barrier with dull thuds, but could not advance even an inch further.
Long Jiu gently pulled Chu Wanwan into his arms. Looking at the pale-faced woman in his arms with blood at the corner of her mouth, he felt a surge of inexplicable heartache and anger.
"You! How dare you hurt her?" Long Jiu's voice was as cold as ice, filled with boundless rage. He carried Chu Wanwan and slowly landed. The lava on the ground instantly froze the moment Long Jiu's feet touched the ground, turning into a patch of blackish-red rock.
Long Jiu's eyes shot like sharp swords towards the demon leader not far away.
The demon leader was startled; he sensed the immense power emanating from Long Jiu. However, as a powerful expert in the Upper Demon Realm, he naturally wouldn't easily back down.
"Who are you? How dare you stop me from killing her? Since you like meddling in other people's business, then none of you will leave here alive today."
Long Jiu's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a disdainful smile. "Then let's give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, the divine power emanating from Long Jiu erupted instantly, like a surging torrent rushing towards the demon leader. The demon leader, not to be outdone, mobilized all his demonic power to meet the attack. The two powerful forces collided, producing a deafening roar.
The surrounding space seemed to tremble, and the earth cracked in countless places under the impact of this force.
The demon general was knocked down from mid-air by the divine power of the dragon wine.
"General!"
"Take me away! We are no match for them!" As soon as the demon general finished speaking, the demon generals tore through the void and tried to escape.
However, Long Jiu simply reached out and grabbed, and an invisible force firmly bound the demon generals who were trying to escape. They struggled in terror, but could not break free from this powerful restraint.
"Want to leave? Not so easy." Long Jiu's voice was icy cold. He slowly walked towards the bound demon generals, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The demon leader's face turned deathly pale; he knew that he was likely doomed today.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you want to be an enemy of our demon race?"
Long Jiu looked at him coldly, "Those who hurt her will pay the price."
Having said that, Long Jiu's divine power surged, and a flash of light appeared, instantly turning those demon generals into ashes.
Looking at the unconscious Chu Wanwan in his arms, Long Jiu vanished in a flash.
On the other side, dark clouds filled the sky, and streaks of golden lightning struck Qin Yao.
Qin Yao sat cross-legged on the ground, letting the lightning strike relentlessly. Each bolt of golden lightning contained immense power, as if it would tear her apart. However, Qin Yao's eyes remained incredibly resolute. She gritted her teeth and did everything in her power to resist the impact of the lightning.
The surrounding immortal and human warriors watched Qin Yao with bated breath, their hearts pounding for her. They knew that Qin Yao was undergoing a crucial test; if she could successfully overcome the tribulation, her strength would be greatly enhanced.
"Golden lightning tribulation! In all my years of life, I have witnessed countless human and immortal beings undergoing tribulations, and I have never seen anyone, whether human or immortal, summon golden lightning tribulation! This woman must be extraordinary!"
"Indeed, with the golden light tempering her body, how powerful would that woman be if she could survive this tribulation!"
"Sigh! This tribulation looks so powerful, I wonder if she can survive it safely..."
The golden lightning in the sky grew increasingly violent, as if it intended to utterly destroy Qin Yao. Her clothes were torn to shreds by the lightning, but her gaze remained as resolute as ever.
A thick bolt of golden lightning crashed down, instantly blasting a huge crater in the ground around Qin Yao. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Qin Yao's figure was barely visible. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth, her face as pale as paper, yet she stubbornly kept her spine straight.
The warriors of both the immortal and human races were so tense that they dared not even breathe, silently praying for Qin Yao in their hearts.
As the tribulation continued, Qin Yao's body gradually reached its limit. Her consciousness began to blur, but she remained conscious thanks to her tenacious will.
Just when she felt she was about to give up, a powerful life force suddenly surged through her body, instantly invigorating Qin Yao. Her wounds began to heal rapidly, and Qin Yao gradually regained consciousness.
The dark clouds in the sky churned even more violently, as if brewing a final blow. Finally, an unprecedentedly massive golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky, hurtling towards Qin Yao with a world-destroying force.
Qin Yao took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination. She concentrated all her strength at the top of her head, preparing to meet this final challenge. When the golden lightning collided with Qin Yao's power, the entire world seemed to tremble. A powerful shockwave spread outwards, forcing the surrounding immortal and human warriors to retreat.
A moment later, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. Qin Yao remained seated cross-legged on the ground, emanating a powerful aura. The golden lightning tribulation had vanished, replaced by a tranquil stillness.
Qin Yao slowly opened her eyes, which sparkled with a brilliant light. She stood up, feeling the surging power within her, her heart filled with joy.
She actually leaped a huge step, directly becoming a beginner-level god. At this moment, she seemed to have been reborn, radiating a divine aura.
"Did she successfully transcend the tribulation or not? I can't sense her cultivation level at all."
"Is it considered a success? If this level of tribulation failed, would there even be a chance of survival?"
"But why can't I sense that woman's cultivation level?"
"Yes! How strange! Logically speaking, after the tribulation of lightning, mortals should be able to ascend to the realm of immortals, but now that woman's cultivation level is so high that it's impossible to see it!"
The surrounding immortal and human warriors were abuzz with discussion, filled with curiosity and bewilderment at Qin Yao's current state. Qin Yao herself, however, was immersed in the immense power brought about by her new realm.
She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the surging life force and divine power merging within her. Her cultivation at the Initial God Realm gave her a more acute perception of everything around her, as if the entire world was under her control.
Qin Yao slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed firmly on the distance. She knew that her responsibilities had become even greater.
"Gentlemen! Has anyone seen my sister?!"
During their time in the human realm, Qin Yao and Chu Wanwan always addressed each other as sisters, and everyone assumed that the two were twins!
"We haven't seen him! After the Supreme God lured away both the demon generals, he hasn't returned! The immortal cultivators who went to help couldn't find any trace of the Supreme God!"
An old man from the Immortal Realm said.
Qin Yao frowned, then leaped off in the direction Chu Wanwan had left.
