Qingyu's baby is finally about to be born thanks to everyone's efforts.
However, during her childbirth, Qingyu Peak was shrouded in calamity clouds.
The crimson and black clouds, representing destruction, gathered into lightning bolts the size of water tanks, which struck directly at Qingyu, who was engaged in production.
Upon seeing this, Fu Yucheng immediately transformed into a nine-winged celestial dragon, which coiled above Qingyu, becoming a barrier to block the tribulation clouds.
Under the impact of a lightning bolt as thick as a water tank, Fu Yucheng's dragon scales shattered, and blood dripped from the wounds, falling onto Qingyu who was giving birth.
"Fu Yucheng!" Qingyu cried, tears streaming down her face. Her body ached, and her heart ached too. For a moment, she couldn't tell which pain was worse!
The commotion at Qingyu Peak was so great that True Monarch Miaokong arrived with Qingxi immediately.
Qingxuan and Xu Nian arrived a little later. The four of them stood together, looking at the destructive heavenly tribulation, their expressions all solemn.
"This child is not to be tolerated by Heaven!" Miaokong Zhenjun murmured.
None of them had expected that the birth of this child would bring about a devastating lightning tribulation.
"Qingxi, I can't abandon your senior sister. You stay here and watch over her. I'll be right back." True Monarch Miaokong hugged his beloved woman, his eyes filled with determination.
“Master, I’ll go with you. Senior Sister Qingyu is not only your disciple, but also my closest and most beloved senior sister.” Qingxi’s gaze was firm, and her face showed a resolute determination.
"Qingxi, follow behind me, I'll protect you." Miaokong Zhenjun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
You can't disagree; Qingxi and Qingyu have a special relationship.
He disagreed; he was even more worried about Qingxi facing the heavenly tribulation alone.
“Yes, Master.” Qingxi nodded obediently, then summoned her natal magic weapon, a large axe as tall as herself.
Miao Kong Zhenjun also summoned his natal magic weapon, a double-pronged halberd.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately rushed into the tribulation clouds to help Fu Yucheng withstand the second heavenly tribulation.
"Qingxuan, I need to go help my master." Xu Nian released Qingxuan's hand and took out her own natal magic weapon, a bright green oil-paper umbrella.
“Niannian, wait, don’t go now. The tribulation will become more and more dangerous as it goes on. If we all go all out now, what will happen to Senior Sister Qingyu when the final tribulation strikes?” Qingxuan said worriedly.
"Qingxuan, are you saying we should wait until the ancestors can't hold on any longer before we go in?" Xu Nian's knuckles, gripping the oil-paper umbrella, began to turn white, but she understood that Qingxuan's words made sense.
"You wait here first, I'll go help Senior Sister set up a protective array." Qingxuan patted Xu Nian's head, and in a flash, he also entered under the tribulation clouds. He came to Qingyu's side and helped her set up a protective array and a spirit-gathering and soundproof array.
"Junior Brother Qingxuan, if Junior Sister Qingxi and Master can't hold on, you must take them and leave quickly. It was my willfulness that dragged everyone down with me." Qingyu was in tears. She wanted this child, but everyone else had to bear the consequences for her.
"Senior Sister Qingyu, don't say discouraging things. You focus on giving birth, and leave the rest to us. Right now, the most important thing is the baby and you." Qingxuan quickly inscribed the array, throwing out materials from his storage space as if they were free.
Below the tribulation clouds, the second lightning tribulation had already struck. With True Monarch Miaokong and Qingxi blocking in front, and Fu Yucheng acting as a barrier, the lightning tribulation did not harm Qingyu in the slightest.
Xu Nian, who was focused on the lightning tribulation, suddenly heard Yuanbao calling her and quickly asked, "Yuanbao, what's wrong?"
"Host, new mission: help the cub of the Nine-Winged Heavenly Dragon successfully descend into the world and avert the cataclysm. Success will reward you with 100,000 points; failure will result in the death of you, Qingxuan, and this world," Yuanbao said anxiously.
"Yuanbao, what's the situation with this mission?" Xu Nian was shocked. The entire cultivation world was about to be destroyed, and this child was so important.
“Host, Fu Yucheng is a Nine-Winged Heavenly Dragon. He has fallen in love with your master. If your master and his child die in this calamity, do you think he will go crazy?” Yuanbao told Xu Nian about the seriousness of the matter and the cause of the disaster.
"That heavenly tribulation was still so reckless, isn't this small world just courting death?" Xu Nian cursed inwardly.
“Host, the rules cannot be changed. Every ferocious beast must undergo the baptism of life and death by lightning tribulation before it is born, and even a small world cannot stop it.” Yuanbao became serious.
"I understand. How can I save my master?" Xu Nian's throat was dry. She knew that she was probably in grave danger this time.
"Host, the small world will temporarily grant you the Thunder Path Body as an aid, but you'll have to rely on yourself for the rest." Yuanbao was very worried about Xu Nian, and his voice trembled with tears as he spoke.
"Yuanbao, don't worry, just wait for me to come back." Xu Nian cut off the connection with Yuanbao and carefully sensed it. Sure enough, his body was different.
Her body was filled with the power of lightning, as if she could unleash a thunderous force with a mere thought.
But it's only an impression.
When the third lightning strike came down, Qingxi was already teetering on the brink of collapse. Only the powerful protection of Miaokong Zhenjun prevented her from collapsing to the ground.
"Qingxi, listen to me, hurry down. The tribulation lightning ahead will be more and more terrifying, and I won't be able to protect you anymore." Miaokong Zhenjun's eyes were filled with tears. For the first time, he felt so powerless, unable to protect the woman he loved, nor his disciple.
"Master, don't cry, I'll leave." Qingxi forced a smile at Miaokong Zhenjun, her face pale as she flew down to Qingyu's side.
She wiped away her tears and quickly cheered herself up to comfort her senior sister Qingyu, saying that everything would be alright.
The fourth tribulation cloud cleaved down, and even True Monarch Miaokong could not withstand it. With a "thud," he fell from mid-air and crashed into the ground, creating a dent.
"Master!" Qingyu and Qingxi exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm fine, I'm still alive." Miao Kong Zhenjun climbed out of the pit and waved his charred hands to show that he was alright.
Before the group could even rejoice, a painful dragon's roar echoed throughout Qingyu Peak.
Fu Yucheng withstood the remaining lightning tribulation. His body was mangled and bloody under the ravages of the lightning, and blood dripped onto the ground, staining the land of Qingyu Peak red.
But his gaze remained firmly fixed on Qingyu.
Under this devastating lightning tribulation, Qingyu became his spiritual pillar that enabled him to persevere.
After setting up the protective formation, Qingxuan took out his Gentleman's Sword and soared into the sky.
He arrived above Fu Yucheng's head, fully prepared to receive the fifth lightning tribulation.
Xu Nian appeared beside him in a flash. Despite his disapproving gaze, she smiled at him, and he could only look at her helplessly. "Nian Nian, take care of yourself."
"You too." Xu Nian grasped the oil-paper umbrella and pushed it down. The oil-paper umbrella began to grow rapidly until it covered the entire Qingyu Peak before stopping.
Meanwhile, the handle of the oil-paper umbrella was deeply embedded in the soil of Qingyu Peak.
Xu Nian sat cross-legged on the edge of the umbrella, activating his newly acquired Thunder Path Body.
She had an immature idea: she wanted to use her own body and her natal magical artifact to channel the lightning power of the tribulation into the ground.
