Under the tribulation of lightning, all things cease to exist.
Within three meters of Song Chen, even the soil was scorched black by the cleavage.
When the number of lightning strikes exceeded one thousand, Zhao Ziyi's hands trembled.
He didn't understand why Song Chen's tribulation was so powerful.
Such a powerful tribulation would be too much for even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator to withstand.
Fortunately, Zhao Ziyi could see Song Chen's figure every time the lightning flashed.
Song Chen remained seated firmly in place, his figure unyielding.
As long as the tribulation lightning hasn't stopped, it proves that Song Chen is not dead.
After 1,300 lightning strikes, a heavy stench of blood and the smell of burning filled the air.
Zhao Ziyi clenched his fists and shouted loudly at the lightning tribulation:
"Enough already! You idiot, Heavenly Dao! Even if you're settling a personal score, there's a limit!"
The amount of lightning here is more than ten times that of an ordinary person!
"When I ascend to immortality, the first person I'll kill is you!"
Zhao Ziyi's words were filled with murderous intent.
Amidst the tribulation of lightning.
Song Chen's body was still crackling with lightning, carrying a little bit of electricity.
Hearing Zhao Ziyi's words, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He wasn't afraid of any lightning tribulations.
His lightning spiritual root was lacking in lightning spiritual energy, and every time he encountered a lightning tribulation, he could get a great replenishment.
Despite the lightning tribulation raging on his body, Song Chen took out a handful of pills and swallowed them. Suddenly, Song Chen shook his head, and an unfamiliar image flashed through his mind.
The scene appeared so abruptly and disappeared so quickly that Song Chen hadn't even had time to think about it before he completely forgot about it.
He frowned slightly. Just a moment ago, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, just like when he saw the towering tree in the dragon's territory.
Perhaps Tian Lei really is a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.
When Song Chen's injuries were healed by the pills and his lost spiritual energy was replenished, the heavenly lightning seemed to realize that the tribulation had no effect on Song Chen and gradually dissipated.
The number of heavenly lightning bolts also mysteriously stopped at 1763.
These seemingly random numbers made Zhao Ziyi even more convinced that Heaven was settling personal scores and targeting Song Chen!
Zhao Ziyi, hands on his hips, cursed at the sky:
"Wait until Song Chen and I ascend to immortality! You'll be sorry!"
However, before he could say anything more, he was instantly dragged to the center of the Incarnation Pool by Song Chen.
With a "plop," the two fell into the water.
The pool in the center of the incarnation pool was very shallow, just reaching the waists of the two people.
The robes on Song Chen's body turned to ashes under the heavenly lightning.
He was enveloped in spiritual energy, and his body was covered in heat and sweat, clinging tightly to Zhao Ziyi.
Zhao Ziyi blushed instantly when Song Chen hugged her, and her mind went blank as she babbled incoherently.
"What are you doing? Why did you suddenly come to the middle of the pool?"
"Do what a fiancé should do and fulfill the obligations of a fiancé."
Song Chen licked Zhao Ziyi's earlobe, so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Zhao Ziyi, captivated by her beauty, also succumbed to temptation.
The two stirred up a pool of spring water.
The heavenly tribulation lightning also coalesced anew.
He swung the weapon down heavily on the two of them.
Even the strongest lightning tribulation wouldn't make Song Chen let go of the person beneath him.
Three days have passed.
Outside the Transformation Pool Formation.
A group of dragons gathered together, looking worriedly at the lightning tribulation in the sky and discussing it.
"Are the two owners of Spicy Palace undergoing tribulation inside?"
"This kind of tribulation lightning is terrifying! It hasn't stopped for three days and three nights."
"I remember thunderclouds gathering several times. This kind of tribulation is too strange, isn't it?"
"I'm not sure, should we call back the Flood Dragon Ancestor?"
"They should be fine. The lightning tribulation is still ongoing, which proves that the two of them are not dead."
Cultivators love to join in the fun, and demon cultivators are no exception. People came to watch the tribulation, and then another wave left.
They were all curious about the two owners of the Spicy Palace restaurant.
Inside the pool of transformation.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhao Ziyi's muddled mind cleared up slightly.
He turned his head and saw Song Chen still looking at him with burning eyes.
Song Chen lifted his hand and kissed it tenderly, not missing a single finger.
At this moment, Song Chen's voice was a little hoarse. He used his other hand to lift Song Chen's waist and asked with a smile:
Are you satisfied with me as your fiancé?
"Heh, why aren't you saying anything?"
Zhao Ziyi stammered, unsure how to begin, and could only bury her face in Song Chen's shoulder, shyly pretending not to hear.
Song Chen chuckled softly, lightly bit the finger near his lip, and pressed it down again.
Thunderclouds gathered again and crashed down heavily on the two of them.
Song Chen activated the body-refining technique "Elephant-Swallowing Profound Skill," using his body to withstand the heavenly lightning and absorb all the attacks.
Another three days have passed.
The Flood Dragon Ancestor returned to the territory of the Flood Dragon Clan.
Several demon cultivators went to meet them.
"Ancestor, you're finally back!"
"Ancestor, the heavenly lightning has been striking for six days now! Although it has been intermittent, it is too strange. We were really worried about the two bosses, so we summoned you back."
"Grandpa, hurry in and check on the two bosses!"
The demon cultivators chattered amongst themselves, discussing the recent strange occurrences.
After hearing the gist of the story, the Dragon Ancestor felt somewhat anxious.
Six days and six nights of thunder?
He's still alive today and has never seen it.
The Flood Dragon Ancestor quickly teleported to the side of the Incarnation Pool, then took out the array token and threw it into the air.
The golden array swayed for a moment before gradually dissipating.
Coincidentally, the lightning tribulation in the sky also disappeared at this time.
The Flood Dragon Ancestor led a group of Flood Dragon cultivators to the Incarnation Pool.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi were seen tidying their robes as if nothing had happened.
The two were neatly dressed, and there wasn't a drop of water in their hair.
Moreover, their complexions were rosy and radiant, showing no signs of having been struck by lightning for six days and six nights.
The Dragon Ancestor looked at them suspiciously:
"Are you two alright? I heard that the tribulation lightning in the Incarnation Pool lasted for six days and six nights."
Song Chen smiled faintly:
"It's alright. As you know, Ancestor, I am proficient in alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making. If I were to refine top-grade pills, talismans, or spirit-treasure level magic weapons, it would be normal for heavenly lightning to descend."
As Song Chen spoke, he took out a bottle of pills he had refined over the past few days from his storage bag.
He uncorked the bottle and poured out seven or eight round pills.
The pill, with its medicinal fragrance and golden patterns, was indeed a top-grade fifth-rank pill!
The group of demon cultivators stared at the pill, their mouths agape in shock:
"A top-grade pill? No wonder the thunderclouds kept gathering and dispersing, dispersing and gathering again!"
So the owner of Spicy Palace also knows alchemy!
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief:
"I rushed back because I thought something had happened to you. Luckily, you're all alright!"
As the Flood Dragon Ancestor spoke, he also probed the cultivation levels of the two.
This exploration is of great importance.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi have both advanced to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
What kind of cultivation speed is this?
The Dragon Ancestor asked in surprise:
"How did your cultivation levels increase so quickly? You've already reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage?"
"So, do you still want to continue cultivating here?"
Song Chen glanced at Zhao Ziyi, and their eyes met. Zhao Ziyi quickly looked away.
Song Chen's lips curled up almost imperceptibly:
"Ziyi and I will stay here to cultivate for a while longer. There are still a few months left before the one-year deadline. I want to refine more pills and talismans, and I also want to refine a flying sword of the spirit treasure grade for Ziyi."
I like it very much here because I'm undisturbed and protected by a powerful formation.
