"How do you know that the tribulation lightning isn't an opportunity given to me by Heaven?"
Before the words were even finished, a second bolt of lightning crashed down!
The immense lightning bolts engulfed the black mist before them, instantly twisting it and unleashing a heart-wrenching roar: "I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I will definitely kill you! Ah—"
Another bolt of lightning struck, crushing his vicious curse into his screams!
"Bear with it, this is nothing."
Chu Hongluan stood there leisurely, holding the knife, as if nothing had happened, with a smile on her lips.
"Why...why..."
"Huh? You're asking why..."
Chu Hongluan slowly drew her sword, the blade gradually exposed to the air. Just then, another bolt of lightning struck down, the electric light instantly disappearing into the sword. The deep purple electric patterns flickered on and off before gradually fading away.
It was absorbed...
"The lightning struck the calamity, what does that have to do with me, Chu Hongluan? The knife won't hurt."
"..."
The Demon Lord was racking his brains trying to figure out how to refute the attack when, in the next instant, the fifth, sixth, and seventh bolts of lightning struck down simultaneously.
Chu Hongluan sheathed the knife, lowered her hand without making a sound, and let her sleeve fall down, obscuring the electric light that was spreading to her wrist at the same time.
Perhaps it was because the Heavenly Dao sensed the filthy aura emanating from the demon race, or perhaps it was because the Demon Blade was indeed a demon.
This tribulation lightning, in terms of both scale and power, has far exceeded what a Mahayana tribulation lightning should be like.
Later on, it stopped slashing down one by one and became a wide-ranging bombardment. The entire Demon Cave was shrouded in thunderclouds, with lightning flashing, rocks flying everywhere, and cries of agony, explosions, and curses filling the air.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is such a small place; there's nowhere to escape or avoid.
Chu Hongluan's eyes glazed over briefly before quickly regaining their clarity.
To be honest, her mind was practically a boiling pot of porridge from being struck by lightning; she couldn't even count how many bolts of lightning had struck her.
She lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of mockery on her lips.
Is this a lightning tribulation? Even thunderstorms aren't this outrageous.
Do you really want to kill her?
But hearing the screams of agony behind her and seeing the Demon Lord before her, now utterly silenced by the cleavage, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
She squeezed the scabbard in her hand tightly, estimating how many bolts of lightning she could withstand. If she reached her limit, she would have no choice but to merge with the Calamity Sun and transform the scabbard into armor.
But this is one of her trump cards, and she should only use it at the most crucial moment. How could it be worth wasting it on her momentary impulse?
She closed her eyes, focusing all her spiritual power on resisting the lightning tribulation, daring not to be distracted in the slightest. When her consciousness became blurred, she bit the tip of her tongue, using the taste of blood to stimulate her nerves.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Hongluan felt the lightning tribulation gradually subside and become gentle. When it struck her, it felt like being enveloped in warm water, soothing the pain in her body, meridians, spirit, and mind, bit by bit.
There were ten such lightning bolts. With each one, her physical body became stronger, her meridians widened, her spiritual palace became more resilient, and her divine sense became more domineering.
As the last bolt of lightning struck, Chu Hongluan seemed to hear something shatter with a crack near her ear.
Immediately afterwards, the entire wilderness trembled.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into the Demon Cave like madmen! It fiercely poured into her meridians!
Chu Hongluan's breath hitched. She quickly mustered all her strength to tame the raging, powerful spiritual energy within her body, carefully guiding and absorbing it.
His aura also rose at a visible speed, eventually settling steadily at the Mahayana stage.
The world finally quieted down.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons was already in a state of utter devastation.
Following the previous barrage of cherry bombs, another thunderstorm struck, leaving many low-level demons unable to reassemble into human form. Their original bodies were blasted down to a whole size, now just tiny black wisps, huddled in tiny cracks between rocks, trembling in fear.
As for the Demon Lord himself, who was at the very center of the thunderstorm, he had been severely weakened by the overwhelming power of the Heavenly Dao. The originally dense black mist had now faded to a light gray.
Chu Hongluan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and her tense back finally relaxed a little.
She swayed almost imperceptibly, and was immediately supported by Liu Jinghong.
"Let's go back."
Chu Hongluan rubbed her temples wearily, without glancing behind her again.
So the two of them leaned on each other and helped each other up the ladder.
"How embarrassing," Chu Hongluan muttered to herself.
"Not at all pathetic. After Junior Sister's punishment, even if the demons recover at lightning speed, it will still take them at least three to five months to barely recover. What a proud thing to do. They are the kind of creatures that even the gods couldn't handle."
"It's just standing on the shoulders of giants."
The seal left by the gods.
Sunflowers and plant seeds left behind by the moonlight.
His cultivation level was just on the verge of a breakthrough.
Even with favorable timing, location, and human factors, we can only buy them five more months.
The two walked slowly, and the light in front of them gradually brightened. Then, they heard a heated argument from above.
"What makes you think Elder Chu and Young Master Liu are traitors! You're the one who betrayed us! You attacked others during the spirit infusion process, causing it to stop! You wanted to kill us all in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave!"
"Oh."
A cold laugh.
It was a familiar voice, coming from—Moyu.
"Didn't you come back alive?"
"That was Elder Chu's great righteousness! He and several senior brothers from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's Sword Sect risked their lives to hold off the demons! They bought us time!"
"Stop being so self-satisfied! How do you know they aren't colluding with the demons, deliberately sending you away so they can stay down there and plot with the demons? Use your brain! How many of them volunteered to go down there? If they didn't have ulterior motives, who would want to go down to this place that eats people alive? Do you want to? Ha! What about you? Do you want to?"
"Enough! Stop spreading rumors!"
"Spreading rumors? When Chu Hongluan and Liu Jinghong were here, my demon-detecting device clearly sensed demonic energy in the surroundings! But after you went down into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, the detection disappeared! Now, everyone here is except for those two. Open your eyes wide and look carefully; the demon-detecting device isn't reacting!"
"But by interrupting the infusion of spirit energy, you clearly intend to kill all of us!"
"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."
Six words that sent chills down one's spine.
"Enough, Mo Yu!"
This time it was the Sword Pavilion Sect Master who reprimanded him, but anyone with a brain knows that he was just afraid of damaging the Sword Pavilion's reputation.
After all, those six words are just too heartless.
But Mo Yu was clearly obsessed.
"I, Mo Yu, hereby swear to the Heavenly Dao that if any of my words are false, may I die and be forever banished from the cycle of reincarnation!"
The covenant between heaven and earth was made, and the oath was fulfilled.
