Sizzle~
Under Shushu's tense gaze, Xiaochengxu's first lightning tribulation struck as scheduled.
It was quite obvious that Shushu felt the power of this lightning tribulation, which was stronger than any of the previous ones. This was a special treatment for the dual spirit and demon bodies, or perhaps it was a sign of dissatisfaction.
After all, spirits and demons have always been opposing forces in the lower realm, and spiritual power and magical power are inherently incompatible.
As a being with both demon and spirit forms, one can imagine how incredibly powerful they would be.
Both Heavenly Daos both love and hate them, unable to resist favoring them while simultaneously resenting that they possess the other's power.
However, once a dual-body of spirit and demon is fully developed, it is unmatched by most humans and demons.
Correspondingly, the tribulations they must undergo will be twice as many and twice as powerful as those of others.
Shushu had long anticipated this outcome, which is why he decided to participate as well, hoping to take advantage of Heaven's favor to reduce the power of the lightning tribulation and help Chengxu successfully overcome it.
Unexpectedly, Chengxu refused.
However, after seeing Chengxu safely pass through the first lightning tribulation, Shushu knew that Chengxu was even more powerful than she had imagined.
This result also made Shushu's tense face relax a little.
Of course, she only relaxed a little. Before Chengxu successfully overcame the tribulation, her heart could not settle down.
And so, with a tense heart, Shushu watched Chengxu pass through one lightning tribulation after another. The first few were alright and did not cause Chengxu any great harm.
Even if injured, they can recover quickly with the medicine prepared by Shushu.
However, as bolts of lightning descended, their power increased dramatically, and Chengxu found it difficult to withstand them.
Even with the assistance of such an excellent tribulation-crossing treasure as Thunderwood, Chengxu was still struck by lightning.
The lightning tribulation seemed to have a grudge against it, deliberately avoiding the Thunderwood and going around in circles to strike it, as if it wouldn't stop until it was struck to death.
Seeing Chengxu being struck down to the ground, unable to get up for a long time, lying on the ground like a piece of black charcoal, barely breathing, and not even having the strength to take out any pills.
Shushu could no longer hold back. She summoned the Yaoguang Cauldron to take her place, and rushed into the range of the lightning tribulation without hesitation.
First, it was fed several pills, and then its effects were accelerated. Just as another lightning tribulation struck, the glutinous rice suddenly grew larger and held Chengxu tightly in its arms.
I must say, this tribulation lightning was really ruthless.
With just one lightning strike, the glutinous rice was shocked so badly it grimaced, as if it had eaten dozens of thunder gods and lightning goddesses, its entire body covered in flowing lightning.
Shushu felt his limbs twitching uncontrollably, and all the hairs on his body stood on end, with flashes of light appearing on them from time to time.
After finally regaining control of her body, she expelled the lightning tribulation that needed to be expelled and restrained that needed to be restrained.
Before he could even swallow a pill to relieve the pain, another lightning tribulation struck.
Since Chengxu had not yet recovered, she could only continue to wrap it up and endure the lightning tribulation herself.
Then, the potato instinctively felt that all the bones and blood in its body had been numb, and the pain was so intense that its soul almost left its body. The white fur all over its body naturally and unsurprisingly turned into black fur.
The originally soft and straight fur curled up under the influence of the lightning tribulation, curling even more tightly than an egg roll.
Some of the fur that wasn't strong enough had already abandoned her as their owner and left her body.
With the slightest movement, fluffy hairs fall down, though they have turned black and curly.
But as Shushu watched Momo leave, she couldn't help but secretly tear up. Her Momo, the Momo she had raised with such difficulty!
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, the potato let out an angry "Squeak!"
In an instant, the rolling lightning in the sky stopped, the wind in the air disappeared, and the swaying leaves and grass seemed to be paused by the sound.
Even the potato itself was stunned.
A moment later, realizing what he had just done, Shushu wished he could dig three feet into the ground and bury himself.
It wasn't until Shushu noticed Chengxu struggling in his arms that he came to his senses.
Unable to resist looking down at it awkwardly, I saw that Chengxu had recovered most of its strength. When it saw Shushu looking at it, it even smiled and said, "I'll take on the next lightning tribulation."
Seeing that it didn't seem to be deliberately showing off, Shushu glanced at the lightning tribulation, which had resumed its surging at some point, but was noticeably thinner and paler in color than before.
After thinking for a moment, Shushu nodded in agreement and released Chengxu. He then shrunk his body and nestled to the side to devour the pills.
Almost the instant she stepped back, another bolt of lightning struck, aiming directly at Chengxu.
Shushu was initially a little worried, but then discovered that the power of the lightning tribulation had clearly diminished.
Looking up at the sky in confusion, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but the tribulation clouds seemed to resemble a smiling face.
And it's not that kind of deadly smile, but a gentle smile.
Rubbing his eyes in disbelief with his jet-black paws, well, it was all black and he couldn't see anything, so he gave up on looking.
A cleansing spell swept away the black and gray around his eyes, and Shushu turned his attention back to Chengxu.
Finding that it was not seriously damaged and seemed to be able to withstand a few more lightning tribulations, Shushu ignored it and continued to hold the pill bottle, munching on the pills inside like candy.
Soon, another lightning tribulation struck, confirming that Shushu's previous guess was correct; the power of the lightning tribulation was indeed gradually decreasing.
The potato didn't understand why, but it was undeniable that things were moving in a positive direction.
Since it was beneficial to them, the millet naturally didn't say anything and calmly accompanied Chengxu through the tribulation.
Seeing that Chengxu was struggling, she rushed over and took two lightning strikes for her to recover before going up herself.
And so, the cycle repeated itself, and the tribulation of lightning, which was like riding on a whirlwind, gradually came to an end.
Meanwhile, the millet and wheat, which were half a day's journey away from them, initially planned to bypass the area when they discovered that a beast was undergoing tribulation there.
For some reason, after hearing that loud "squeak," the couple both stopped instinctively, a strong feeling rising in their hearts.
They exchanged an incredulous glance, and without any hesitation, they charged towards this place at an astonishing speed, so fast that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them afterimages.
