The surrounding onlookers were immediately taken aback (Σ(°△°|||)︴), beginning to doubt whether the person inside was Ye Xiruo or that monstrous genius, Zishu. Everyone present was intimately familiar with Zishu, the legendary madman of the cultivation world who possessed an ethereal body, whose cultivation was as easy as eating and drinking, without any bottlenecks, and who often shattered lightning tribulations with a single punch.
Perhaps Zishu felt that fists were too unoriginal, so he changed his approach. He imitated Palace Master Jingli, wielding a beautiful whip and shattering the lightning tribulation in the process. This speculation seems quite plausible. After all, not every alchemist can be as monstrous and ruthless as Jingli and Zishu, their ferocity putting even ordinary martial artists to shame.
Xiu Qiyu could only remain silent in response. In fact, Xiao Yezi's combat skills had made a tremendous leap in the past few years. Coupled with the support of her powerful, unpredictable, and often unpredictable mental strength, Xiao Yezi's current strength was such that she could even escape unscathed from a Nascent Soul cultivator. If she was lucky, she might even leave the Nascent Soul cultivator with some precious memories.
As expected, it proved the saying true: none of Jing Li's subordinates were normal alchemists.
The lightning tribulation continued to fall, and it was indeed much more powerful than the tribulation of an ordinary alchemist, about the same difficulty as that of an ordinary genius martial artist! However, the physical qualities, attack power, and defense of a martial artist and an alchemist are incomparable.
There's no doubt that Xiao Yezi will survive this heavenly tribulation, but the process might not be so smooth. The silver whip withstood three heavenly tribulations before turning to ashes at the fourth. Ye Xiruo then took out a huge battle axe; fortunately, she was completely enveloped in spiritual energy, otherwise, the scene would have been simply too beautiful.
Xiu Qiyu watched nervously as Ye Xiruo fought back under the heavenly tribulation. Just like last time, it was another minor tribulation of lightning. It seemed that the heavens were truly too "favoring" to Ye Xiruo. The Shadowless Sword in Xiu Qiyu's hand emitted waves of terrifying light. If Ye Xiruo could not hold on, Xiu Qiyu would appear by Ye Xiruo's side immediately and face the heavenly tribulation with her.
Tianyi shrunk his body into a ball and squatted on the snow lion's head. There was so much lightning energy in mid-air, he really wanted to eat it! Tianyi licked his lips; there was just too much trash and waste here, it was hard to eat.
The heavenly tribulation in mid-air seemed to sense the intense threat from Tian Yi, and its downward strikes became even faster and more powerful. Three heavenly tribulations struck directly down; two were blocked by Ye Xiruo, but one still landed squarely on her, tearing her skin and causing excruciating pain that relentlessly assaulted her senses. Xiu Qiyu immediately noticed Ye Xiruo's condition and, through their contract, helped share the burden of her injuries.
Ye Xiruo rapidly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, continuously repairing her injured body. Strands of lightning power coursed through her body, strengthening her. No wonder her master said that heavenly tribulations were the best way to temper the physical body; however, this method was far too cruel. Before Ye Xiruo could finish complaining, another wave of heavenly tribulation thunder roared down. This time, three heavenly tribulations struck, two of which she blocked, while the third continued to strike her. This time, Ye Xiruo absorbed the spiritual energy in the air while simultaneously swallowing pills to quickly heal her injuries. This heavenly tribulation seemed rather strange. She wondered how others overcame their tribulations, but Ye Xiruo felt this abnormal heavenly tribulation was happening so quickly, as if it really wanted to kill her. Wasn't she the darling of the Heavenly Dao? Now it seemed that it was all just rumors.
Xiu Qiyu continued to pile up top-grade spirit stones near Ye Xiruo, grabbing handfuls at a time. The surrounding cultivators' eyes gleamed with excitement. The Pill King Palace was truly wealthy and powerful, using such top-grade spirit stones like this.
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger and stronger, and the wear and tear on Ye Xiruo's magical artifacts also increased. In the end, she needed to use two magical artifacts at the same time to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. And those magical artifacts were mostly high-grade or top-grade magical artifacts. This level of wastefulness made the surrounding cultivators want to cry.
If this method of overcoming tribulation still fails, then it truly is the will of Heaven.
Could Ye Xiruo accept her fate? Of course not, it's just a heavenly tribulation, isn't it? Two golden, mutated Vajra Bamboo appeared in Ye Xiruo's hand. As soon as this magic weapon appeared, the power of the heavenly tribulation was immediately reduced by half. Under the heavenly tribulation, the two mutated Vajra Bamboo emitted bursts of dazzling light, their leaves shining like gold, and their aura was constantly increasing.
Ye Xiruo's eyes lit up. Maybe these mutated Vajra Bamboos have the potential to be upgraded? In the future, during the Heavenly Tribulation, she would take them out and let them absorb energy properly to see if they could be upgraded to eighth-grade spiritual plants.
With the help of the mutated Vajra Bamboo, Ye Xiruo's pressure from the tribulation was reduced again. Although the remaining tribulations were even more powerful, they were weakened layer by layer. When Luo Dai put Ye Xiruo on her body, she was able to temper her body, and Xiu Qiyu was relieved.
The heavenly tribulation lasted for a full three hours. The final tribulation was actually a five-colored lightning tribulation. Ye Xiruo cursed under her breath, "Damn it, does the heavens really not want her to live?!" Xiu Qiyu's expression also changed. This shouldn't be the case. For a pill refiner, such a heavenly tribulation should not leave any chance of survival!
This time, Ye Xiruo first consumed a handful of pills, then released eight top-grade spiritual artifacts, all of which self-destructed. Next, she took out two mutated Vajra Bamboo plants and placed them beside her. She refused to believe that this heavenly tribulation could truly destroy him.
"Such a heavenly tribulation is terrifying." In fact, if Ye Xi were the original owner, this situation would never have occurred. It wasn't because the soul from another world made the heavenly tribulation sense an unusual aura that it resorted to such ruthless measures to directly annihilate this anomaly.
Although weakened by layers of lightning, Ye Xiruo still felt the danger of death when the five-colored lightning tribulation struck her. Xiu Qiyu was constantly helping the wild bear share the burden of its injuries. Even Xiu Qiyu's physical strength was damaged by this level of lightning tribulation.
Seeing Ye Xiruo instantly reduced to charred remains, Tianyi's near-glowing eyes flashed with murderous intent. He looked up at the lingering tribulation clouds in the sky and let out a furious roar. The entire tribulation lightning was instantly disintegrated by invisible energy.
