Thunder roared, and countless fine, hair-like arcs of lightning burst forth from the crimson thunderclouds, transforming below into a thunder-filled pool.
Within the thunderclouds, a terrifying crimson thunder dragon emerged with its enormous head.
With a roar that shook the universe, the Thunder Dragon instantly summoned thousands of thunderbolts from the Heavenly Thunder Pool, carrying the devastating power of the thunder tribulation, and roared as it hurtled towards An Yuxi.
"Good timing!"
An Yuxi stood proudly in the void, completely unafraid. A ball of crimson lightning, almost insignificant in size compared to the Thunder Dragon, burst forth from her palm. The crimson lightning then spread out at the speed of light from her palm, instantly forming a surging crimson lightning pool within a radius of dozens of feet around her.
An Yuxi stood in the center of the Thunder Pool, holding the Divine Thunder of Annihilation in her hand, as if she were the embodiment of heavenly tribulation.
"Heavenly Tribulation Slash!"
An Yuxi suddenly raised her hand high, and in an instant, hundreds of crimson lightning bolts shot out from her palm, like winding chains of lightning, forming an encirclement and shooting towards the huge Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Dragon from all directions.
rat-a-tat-tat-tat!
Although An Yuxi's crimson lightning was not even one-thousandth as thick as the Thunder Dragon, it possessed an extremely terrifying penetrating power. In an instant, it pierced through all parts of the Thunder Dragon's body. Then, bolts of crimson lightning, like the sharpest weapons in the world, cleaved open from the inside of the dragon's body. In a moment, hundreds of shocking gashes appeared on the Thunder Dragon's body. Then, the entire dragon's body exploded like a punctured balloon.
"This is the power of heavenly tribulation? An Yuxi actually possesses the power of heavenly tribulation?!"
Seeing An Yuxi use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to annihilate the strongest tribulation lightning, all the Venerables and even Saints who witnessed this scene were shocked. Crossing the Spirit Venerable Tribulation is not difficult, but to control the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Yet An Yuxi actually did it. What kind of talent is this!
Gan Hong stared intently at An Yuxi. He had cultivated for over a thousand years, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a stunning woman. If he could marry her, he would be willing to never touch another woman again.
At this moment, the golden imperial light reappeared above An Yuxi's head. The imperial light emitted a strong suction force, and countless scattered tribulation lightning bolts from the shattered thunder dragon surged into the imperial light, eventually becoming nourishment for An Yuxi's imperial nature and giving her a half-level increase in cultivation.
As the last bolt of lightning completely dissipated, the massive thunderclouds that had enveloped hundreds of miles of dark thunderclouds also gradually dispersed, and the sky cleared up once more.
An Yuxi's tribulation as a Spirit Venerable has come to an end.
Yu Ling Shuang and Feng Yao Yao emerged from the space, removing the defensive barriers below and around them used to withstand the remaining power of the heavenly tribulation. Then, Feng Yao Yao came to An Yu Xi's side and shouted in a carefree manner, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come to congratulate us! Bring us more high-grade demon cores and spiritual medicines, don't make this ancestor feel stingy."
Breaking through to the Spirit Venerable realm also requires contributing to the cause. Feng Yaoyao had finally waited for An Yuxi to advance to the Venerable realm, so of course she wanted to rob her of what she had given away before.
Upon hearing this, the Venerables of the Yingyue Sect were both amused and exasperated, but knowing the proper etiquette, they all came to offer their gifts and congratulations.
Yu Ling Shuang was the first to present a Venerable-level Demon Core, followed by Si Kong Yan, the Sect Master of Ying Yue Sect, who presented Feng Yao Yao with a high-grade sixth-rank spiritual herb.
"Little Yanzi, have you been emptied out of your pocket? You're giving such a meager gift."
Feng Yaoyao looked at Sikong Yan with disdain.
"Please forgive me, Uncle-Master, I'm a little short of money lately..."
Sikong Yan felt slightly embarrassed. It wasn't that he couldn't give something better, but he had already given up on his feelings for An Yuxi, so why should he give something so nice? A token would suffice.
The other Venerables from the Yingyue Sect who came to offer their congratulations felt that the spiritual medicine Sikong Yan had given them was rather meager. Everyone knew that Sikong Yan had always been interested in An Yuxi, and now that An Yuxi had broken through to the Venerable rank and mastered the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, it was such a joyous occasion that Sikong Yan did not take the opportunity to give her a generous gift. Instead, he was being stingy. Was this appropriate?
"Could it be... that the sect leader has given up on pursuing An Yuxi?"
The Venerable One thought to himself.
Sikong Yan wasn't the only one in the Yingyue Sect interested in An Yuxi; many Venerables were also eyeing her. Realizing that Sikong Yan might have backed down, those Venerables who were interested in An Yuxi immediately became more interested and offered generous gifts, congratulating her with increasingly attentive gestures.
Seeing this, the elders who had originally been interested in An Yuxi and wanted to give her gifts retreated in disappointment. They had never been able to catch up with An Yuxi before, and now that An Yuxi had broken through to the Venerable rank, how could they, with their cultivation only at the Sect rank, still have a chance?
Such a woman is destined to be beyond their reach...
At this moment, Gan Hong, dressed in a golden robe, walked out with a gentle smile, raised his hand and took out a golden demon core, which he handed to Feng Yaoyao: "Fellow Daoist Feng, this is a semi-saint level demon core that I obtained by hunting a great demon that was about to become a saint. I would like to use this as a betrothal gift to propose marriage to your disciple. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Feng would agree?"
A marriage proposal?
The faces of all the Venerables present turned ugly. An Yuxi was the future pillar of Yingyue Sect, and her breakthrough to the Saint Rank was just around the corner. Yet Gan Hong wanted to marry An Yuxi. Wasn't this digging up the roots of Yingyue Sect?
"You think you can marry my disciple with just a half-saint demon core? Are you dreaming?"
Feng Yaoyao scoffed.
"If Fellow Daoist Feng feels that the betrothal gifts are not enough, I can add more to ensure that Fellow Daoist Feng is satisfied."
Gan Hong spoke in a tone that suggested he was wealthy and powerful.
"Satisfied my foot! You think you can marry my disciple? You're not worthy! Do you think you're so great just because you're a Saint-level expert?"
Feng Yaoyao glared coldly at Gan Hong and shouted in a very aggressive tone.
Gan Hong's face darkened. Although he was only a Saint of the first level, he was still one of the few Saints in the Great Gan Dynasty. It was outrageous that Feng Yaoyao would look down on him like this!
"My husband!"
At this moment, An Yuxi suddenly called out. Gan Hong was overjoyed, thinking that An Yuxi had accepted his marriage proposal and was calling him. But when he looked at An Yuxi, he realized that she was calling in another direction. His mood instantly sank to the bottom. An Yuxi was already married.
Who is this man who is worthy of such a woman?
The Venerables of the Reflecting Moon Sect and the nearby Sect Elders shared the same question. Had their memories been wrong? When did An Yuxi get married? Could it be that Sikong Yan had already secretly won An Yuxi over?
Just as everyone was wondering, a young man flew through the air, and An Yuxi happily went to greet him. Then, under countless incredulous gazes, she flew into the young man's arms like a fledgling returning to its nest.
"My wife, are you alright?"
Chi Yuan gently stroked An Yuxi's cloud-like hair and asked with concern.
An Yuxi shook her head and smiled gently, "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you, my husband."
After saying this, An Yuxi blushed and said softly, "Husband, it seems my physique can still grow stronger..."
Chi Yuan gently pinched An Yuxi's chin with amusement: "This will require a lot of effort from your husband."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, my husband, from now on."
An Yuxi smiled sweetly and said something, then hugged Chi Yuan's neck and gave him a kiss.
