Chapter 985 I never serve as a stepping stone for anyone!

It was only for a moment, because Ye Linglong's expression quickly returned to firmness.

"Maybe he thinks so, but you don't. As long as you don't, I won't confuse you with him."

Ye Linglong spoke softly, but his lively eyes were filled with trust and sincerity.

At that moment, Ye Qingxuan's eyes became deeper as he stared at Ye Linglong. The starlight in his eyes, like the vast ocean and starry sky, was brighter than before.

"But if you had gone with them, maybe you would have had a chance to see him show up. Even if he didn't show up, he would definitely make another move. At that time, you and he would have reversed the situation. You would be in the dark and he would be in the light. You could do more things."

"You mean, I let you stay here, and then you do everything you can to stop these people for us, and then you have no strength to leave, and thus fall into their hands. He wants you to recover, so he naturally cares about your life or death, so he won't stand idly by, right?"

Ye Qingxuan did not deny it.

"Don't you think this is a great opportunity? I also want to see what he wants to do."

"What about you?"

"Me? It's not like I haven't died before. Although I don't remember what happened in the past, those powers couldn't kill me and gave me a chance to wake up. These dozen Mahayana masters in front of me probably can't do it either. At most, it will take some time to start over again. So, this is not risky."

Ye Linglong stared at Ye Qingxuan blankly.

She then realized that although this man didn't like to cause trouble, didn't like to manage affairs, and even didn't care about the world, he was actually a madman at heart.

Once there is something he really cares about, if he completely lets go of himself, then this world will definitely experience a catastrophe.

Or maybe this catastrophe has already happened.

"So, it's not too late for you to change your mind now. I can help you get away once."

As soon as Ye Qingxuan finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" and the first bolt of thunder fell from the calamity cloud.

The thunderbolt struck Ye Linglong directly on the head, knocking her to the ground where she was standing upright.

Not only that, the small hill where she was originally standing, which was made of the ruins of Wuyou Mountain, was smashed into a big hole, and she fell facefirst into the hole.

Not only that, there were still some residual thunder in the pit where she was.

The power of this thunder tribulation was so strong that the Mahayana practitioners who were watching her go through it were all astonished.

The first thunder tribulation when breaking through from the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Void Refinement Stage is the easiest and most difficult to overcome, and its intensity is not very great.

But the power of the thunderbolt she endured was obviously much stronger than the usual thunderbolt. The power of the first one was comparable to the third one under normal circumstances!

Although the strength of the thunder tribulation will vary depending on the talent of the person experiencing it, the difference in her case is too great!

What’s more crucial is that even if a disciple with extraordinary talent was going through a tribulation, the thunder would disappear after it struck. There was no such situation where the thunder would linger all over the ground!

This strange phenomenon once again made them realize how terrifying the talent of Ye Linglong, who had only reached the Divine Transformation level, was!

"Her thunder tribulation is so strong, and there are residual thunders all over the ground. This is something I have never seen before!"

"Maybe this is the treatment for those with five spiritual roots? This is something I have never seen before for a disciple with five spiritual roots in the Spiritual Transformation Stage!"

"This girl is extremely gifted. She must be handled with care. Otherwise, once she grows up..."

"Look! Why does she seem to have something in her hand? What is that?"

Everyone looked over and saw that she was holding something round like a bead in her palm.

The bead was currently surrounded by lightning and emitting light.

"Is that some kind of lightning-proof device?"

"That should be the case, right? Otherwise, how could she have taken on such a strong thunderbolt so easily and still be able to stand up?"

"Tsk tsk, it's well known that thunder tribulations play a big role in reshaping the body. Genius disciples never use magic tools to avoid thunder, they just rely on themselves to withstand it. Only mediocre people who are greedy for life and afraid of death will prepare these things. Ye Linglong, you are no better!"

At this time, Ye Linglong in the pit was still holding the beads in one hand, and using the other hand to support his body, he climbed up with difficulty and staggering.

As soon as the man stood firm, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, turned her gaze to Ye Qingxuan, and continued their unfinished conversation.

"I won't change it."

"Why?"

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Whether I am a stepping stone or not is not up to him to decide. It's up to me to decide! And I... never serve as a stepping stone for anyone!"

As soon as Ye Linglong finished speaking, there was another loud "bang" and the second bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck her head straight down.

This second bolt of thunder was twice as thick as the first one!

The pit she was standing in was more than twice as deep as before!

This time, she was still knocked to the ground, but more of her body was burned than before.

But what surprised the Mahayana monks who were watching was that this time, not only was there residual lightning in the pit where she was lying, but even the wounds on her body were emitting lightning!

It was as if the thunder did not stop after striking her body, but continued to move back and forth in her body without disappearing!

"Look! Look at the ball in her hand!"

Everyone looked and saw that the ball in her hand was more than twice as big as before, and the lightning on it was even brighter.

"How did it get bigger? Could it be that she used the beads to absorb the power of the thunder and thus achieve the effect of lightning avoidance?"

"If she really wanted to avoid lightning, she should have placed the bead on her head to absorb the lightning. How could the lightning strike her head, penetrate her body, and then be absorbed into the bead?"

"So, she is not avoiding lightning, she is using her own body as a medium to guide the lightning into the bead!"

"Is she crazy? She is holding a bead that absorbs the power of the thunder. The thunder will think that her body can easily withstand so much power, so each strike will be more fierce and more powerful! The power will be stronger and stronger!"

"I've seen people try every possible means to reduce the severity of a thunder tribulation, but this is the first time I've seen someone use such a crazy method to increase the intensity of a thunder tribulation! She's really crazy! Isn't she afraid that this thunder tribulation will kill her?"

Inside the deep pit, Ye Linglong shook her head, and the green sprouts on her head and the sacred wood beads in her body began to perform dual treatments, quickly helping her recover her damaged body.

But even so, the intensity of the thunder tribulation was too great and she still suffered serious injuries.

She spat out a large amount of blood on the ground, her entire face covered in a pool of blood, looking very miserable, but she still held the lightning ball tightly and climbed up from the ground again with great effort.

Before she could stand firmly, her eyes turned to Ye Qingxuan beside her.

Amid the bloodshot on her face, she smiled lightly.
