Ruan Xiyan's eyes narrowed, and her spiritual power coalesced and attacked the dark figures.
At the same time, the power in his hand attacked the skeleton.
Surprisingly, both mental attacks and physical attacks missed their mark.
Just as those forces were about to strike them, they mysteriously vanished, only to reappear before Ruan Xiyan and strike her squarely.
With Ruan Xiyan's current physical strength, she should be able to withstand several attacks from those skeletons.
The soul attack targeted by the shadowy figure was also blocked outside the spiritual consciousness by Ruan Xiyan's mental power.
But what was going on? She had never encountered such a strange formation before, which aroused Ruan Xiyan's competitive spirit.
Her blood-red eyes appeared as she looked at the skeletons and shadows.
Under her blood-red eyes, she could see that those things were real, not illusions.
But why did they turn into nothingness when her attacks reached them?
Ignoring the attacks from the skeletons and shadows, Ruan Xiyan focused solely on breaking the formation.
She relentlessly pursued the skeletons and shadowy figures, trying to find some clues.
Her power continuously passed through the illusory body of the skeleton, and then struck Ruan Xiyan solidly, over and over again.
Before she knew it, Ruan Xiyan had already taken dozens of attacks. Even though her body was strong, being hit by these forces one after another was still not easy.
Fortunately, Ruan Xiyan gained something from enduring this pressure.
This formation is truly fascinating, seemingly real yet illusory, with yin and yang transforming. The so-called skeletons, white bones, and shadows are all formed from tiny specks of dust.
Through the pull of the formation, yin and yang alternate, when they come together, even the smallest dust particles can form a real attack, while when they disperse, they become illusory and intangible.
Now that we've discovered the operating rules of the formation, the next step is to find the core of the formation and break it.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, seeing that the Yin-Yang Yellow Spring Formation has not yet killed Ruan Xiyan, Zhai Hui became somewhat anxious. He simply cut his own palm and used his blood essence to enhance the power of the formation.
Although losing some of his essence and blood would weaken his strength and require a long time to recover, he couldn't care less about that in order to kill this brat.
Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences; we must take him down as soon as possible!
As Ruan Xiyan focused on breaking the formation, its power suddenly increased, forcing her to mobilize all her strength to resist it.
As she repeatedly battled the power of the formation, the bottleneck that had been hindering her breakthrough suddenly shattered. As her mind became clear, a powerful aura emanated from her body and spread outwards.
The invisible energy emanating from her body directly dispersed the demons and monsters within the formation.
The power that had been depleted within her body was replenished, and as Ruan Xiyan gently clenched her hand, the formation began to tremble.
His strength has actually broken through at this moment!
Ruan Xiyan's eyes lit up with joy. This formation had actually helped her a lot, and by sheer accident, it had allowed her to break through her limitations.
Ruan Xiyan was no longer in a hurry to break out of the formation. She looked up at the sky where thunderclouds were gathering, a smile playing on her lips, because the tribulation was about to begin.
Regardless of where the array's core is, several bolts of lightning will surely shatter the array into nothingness.
The formation could only be broken from the inside. Fu Chishang, who was originally worried about Ruan Xiyan, was relieved when he saw the thunderclouds in the sky, and a sense of pride rose up inexplicably in his heart.
He never expected that Xiao Xi could break through her cultivation realm even when she was trapped by the formation. He was ashamed of his own talent for cultivation.
"Thunder tribulation?! How is this possible? He broke through!" Zhai Hui's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the lightning struck, completely shattering Zhai Hui's last remaining illusions.
Several bolts of lightning struck the Yin-Yang Yellow Springs Formation, instantly reducing it to dust.
The onlookers outside marveled, "That young lad actually broke through at this moment! Zhai Hui's proud formation has been broken just like that."
"I think Zhai Hui is really done for this time." The men rubbed their hands together excitedly.
"Now that the City Lord's Mansion is severely weakened, could we take this opportunity to make a quick buck? I've heard that Zhai Hui's treasury contains a lot of treasures, many of which were looted from powerful individuals."
"That seems like a good idea."
"Wait...wait, look! Isn't the lightning tribulation coming towards us?" one of them swallowed hard and stammered.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're quite a distance from where that kid broke through, there's no way the lightning tribulation could reach us." The man said, looking up as he spoke.
When they saw the lightning tribulation so close by, they were terrified. Who would want to be struck by lightning? That thing can be deadly.
They turned and ran. In the rush, those who were a step slower were instantly transformed into people with frizzy hair, their faces blackened, and lying on the ground spewing black smoke.
"Damn it!" Zi Ren ducked, dodging a lightning bolt that brushed past him, but a strand of his hair was struck off.
Before they could react, another lightning bolt struck. Fu Chishang quickly pulled him behind a pillar and used his strength to create a protective shield.
The scene in the courtyard became even more chaotic, with one powerful figure from the City Lord's Mansion after another being struck by lightning.
The magical beasts summoned by Ruan Xiyan scattered and ran away, dodging the lightning tribulation in the sky.
Chi Ying shouted, "Quickly, get into the Beast Suppression Tower! Let's go back inside and take shelter for a while."
As Chi Ying finished speaking, all the magical beasts transformed into streaks of light and "whoosh whoosh whoosh" into the Beast Suppression Tower.
Only the powerful were left with nowhere to hide, randomly struck by countless lightning bolts.
The scene was nothing short of chaotic and disorganized.
"These lightning tribulations attack everyone indiscriminately!" Zi Ren exclaimed in shock, his mouth agape. "No! That's not the point, Your Highness. If I'm not mistaken, this is her tribulation to break through to the Pseudo-Immortal Realm."
Fu Chishang nodded, "Yes."
"Why is her tribulation lightning so powerful? More importantly, while others break through and undergo tribulation lightning one by one, good heavens, Sect Master Ruan's tribulation lightning is in large swaths."
Zi Ren roughly estimated the area: "The entire city lord's mansion is shrouded in dense lightning tribulations, and the range of the lightning tribulations covers at least several miles in radius."
"Sect Master Ruan is indeed extraordinary and cannot be judged by ordinary standards. Even the lightning tribulation generated during his breakthrough was so unique," Zi Ren exclaimed.
He turned his head and saw the proud expression on his prince's face, and his voice choked.
They're currently being struck by crackling lightning bolts hitting the protective shield above their heads, so what's with His Highness's admiring expression? Is it really appropriate for him to show such an expression in their current situation?
Ever since His Highness learned of Sect Leader Ruan's identity, he has gone further and further down a path of abnormality.
