Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled incessantly.
Zhang Ling and Dongfang Ya stood on the Shenguang Mountain, more than a hundred miles away from the source. They could see with the naked eye that faint lightning appeared in the air before them. Wisps of silver arcs filled the space before their eyes.
The originally majestic Shenguang Mountain also trembled constantly under the pressure of heaven and earth, causing many huge rocks to roll down.
Zhang Ling also saw that under the lightning, several of the red-hot bronze pillars instantly broke. The red light curtain that had formed also became fragmented and destroyed.
This lightning tribulation is truly terrifying.
“Let's retreat a bit further, to avoid being affected by the lightning tribulation,” Zhang Ling said, licking his dry lips.
“Okay,” Dongfang Ya responded.
The two activated their escape techniques and flew away quickly.
Shenguang Mountain had restrictions that originally prevented flight. But at this moment, the restrictions on the mountain seemed to have loosened due to the terror of this lightning tribulation.
Therefore, their low-altitude flight was not affected.
...
Beneath the lightning tribulation, Ruolan watched as the formation that defended against the lightning tribulation was destroyed. A thick bolt of lightning struck her directly.
She held the Thunderlight Flying Sword in her hand and offered it up.
The flying sword rotated rapidly above her head, forming a dazzling azure sword wheel, releasing azure lightning.
But in the silver lightning, this azure lightning was inconspicuous.
Wherever the silver lightning passed, the azure lightning was instantly suppressed to the ground, blasting out a huge pit.
The silver lightning even turned into silver thunder-fire, falling to the ground, making the entire ground seem to melt, turning into a flowing silver light.
Fortunately, after this terrifying silver lightning fell, the thunderclouds in the sky thinned by a third. They were only constantly churning and contracting.
A series of rumbling sounds came, but for a time, no more lightning fell.
This also gave Ruolan time to breathe. With a clear sound, earth and rocks shattered, and Ruolan flew out of the large hole in the ground.
At this moment, her head of blood-red hair flew wildly, her face turned pale, and her body was covered with a layer of pale red corpse energy.
Her entire body became much thinner, a few fangs were exposed in her mouth, and a layer of red-black fluff covered her arms. The fingernails had also turned cyan, like sharp blades, cutting through the air, causing a series of whooshing sounds.
At this time, she had revealed the original appearance of the ten-thousand-year-old corpse king, completely transformed into a corpse monster.
Only at the center of her brows, a faint azure light flickered, adorned with an azure lotus flower. Under the protection of the Tranquil Heart Azure Lotus, although Ruolan had turned into a corpse monster, she had not lost consciousness, only her complexion was somewhat complex.
The azure Thunderlight Flying Sword also floated beside her very spiritually. However, many cracks had appeared on it.
“Gu Chen, why did you do this? Turning me into this neither-alive-nor-dead state. And you, your primordial spirit merged into the flying sword and turned into a sword spirit, with no chance of reincarnation,” Ruolan stared at the cracked flying sword with a complex expression, uttering a hoarse voice, her eyes becoming chaotic, as if talking to herself.
“Master, he has been dead for a long time.” The flying sword flew around Ruolan constantly, emitting a dispassionate voice. “I am just his last remnant soul, a sword spirit born after ten thousand years of nurturing, not him.”
“The next lightning tribulation is about to arrive, please activate the Twin Nether Soul Seven Spirit Flower planted in your body to get through this tribulation.”
The rumbling of thunder grew louder and louder, and the thunderclouds in the sky rolled wildly again. Even the spiritual energy of the nearby mountains was drawn in, frantically pouring into the thunderclouds.
The entire silver thundercloud expanded again, accumulating even greater power.
After a few breaths, even more terrifying lightning fell from the clouds. Countless lightning bolts intertwined like giant snakes, forming a silver thunderball the size of a hundred zhang, crashing down with terrifying pressure.
Directly below, Ruolan remained unmoved, as if she hadn't noticed. Only the flying sword floating around her acted on its own.
With a flash of azure light, the flying sword slashed out, and the azure lightning released by the sword light actually formed a vague phantom of a young man.
The phantom of the young man only flashed for a moment, and then the azure flying sword transformed into an equally huge azure thunder light, directly splitting open the falling silver thunderball.
With a series of earth-shattering loud noises, heaven and earth trembled. Two different kinds of thunder light annihilated each other successively. The azure flying sword also flew back and landed beside Ruolan. With a crisp crack, more cracks appeared on the sword body.
The azure lotus on Ruolan's forehead bloomed. A coolness spread throughout her body, and she roared, gripping the flying sword and sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
Blood-red hair flew everywhere, wrapping itself around her like silk threads, turning into a blood-red giant cocoon.
Red light flickered, and strange red flowers grew on it.
If Zhang Ling were nearby, he would have noticed that these blood-red little flowers were the same blood-red little flowers he had seen here.
The only difference was that these little flowers were just phantoms.
In the blink of an eye, blood-red flowers floated in mid-air, centered on Ruolan. These flowers were as red as fire, as if they were cast from blood.
The rumbling of thunder exploded, and the next wave of lightning tribulation fell, consisting of countless silver arcs that streaked across the sky.
However, strangely, these silver arcs seemed to have lost their target and all struck the blood-colored little flowers.
After the lightning, the blood-colored little flowers were struck into green smoke, but more blood-colored little flowers were constantly generated.
“Huh, what's going on with those flowers.”
Zhang Ling and Dongfang Ya, who were still paying attention to the situation of the lightning tribulation on Shenguang Mountain, also saw countless blood-red little flowers suddenly appearing beneath the lightning tribulation.
Dongfang Ya blinked her beautiful eyes and whispered in surprise.
Zhang Ling also looked at the flowers in surprise, feeling somewhat familiar.
At the same time, in the stone chamber that Dongfang Ya had previously broken into, a roar erupted.
“Ah, what's going on with this thunder-fire.”
The evil ghost was originally performing a secret technique, trying to break free from his restraints.
The blood-red pattern beneath him suddenly flashed with grayish-white light. Wisps of silver-white lightning were released from within.
The evil ghost was caught off guard and was directly surrounded by thunder-fire. Many lightning bolts struck his body, causing his figure to become unstable.
He quickly released a large amount of Xuan Yin ghost energy, forming a rapidly rotating black mist whirlwind, protecting his entire body.
However, the silver-white thunder-fire seemed to have locked onto him, constantly bombarding him.
“Could this be the tribulation-substitution power of that Twin Ghost Flower? Gu Chen, you plotted against this lord. So, I swallowed your nascent soul but was sealed here, and I was tricked into taking the disaster for your dead woman….”
The evil ghost roared madly, issuing unwilling roars, but was covered by countless silver flowers.
The power of thunder-fire filled this small stone chamber.
And strangely, this small stone chamber was not destroyed under the frenzied bombardment of thunder-fire. Blood-red spiritual patterns appeared on the ground under his feet and on the surrounding stone walls.
These blood-red spiritual patterns turned into thin lines, breaking through the stone walls and growing twin-headed flowers.
These strange flowers had two buds, one blood-red and one grayish-white, growing on the same slender stem. Only the colors were different.
Strangely, these flowers swayed, the blood-red flowers motionless, motionless. Only the grayish-white flowers fell off.
The evil ghost constantly changed his form, dodging these flowers, condensing huge ghost claws, constantly smashing the flowers.
However, it was useless. When the grayish-white flowers touched his body, more silver-white lightning attacked him.
In the blink of an eye, countless grayish-white flowers floated in the originally small stone chamber, submerging the evil ghost within.
Only the sound of violent thunder and the mad roar of the submerged evil ghost could be heard.
...
Beneath the lightning tribulation, countless blood-red petals flew, forming a large sea of flowers. Lightning fell into it, turning into a silver fire wave, entangled with the red flowers.
Lightning roared, petals turned, and two layers of strange spiritual light were impacting each other, the affected area was already hundreds of miles away. Several nearby mountains were blasted into fragments.
Zhang Ling and Dongfang Ya stood in a corner of Shenguang Mountain, silently watching this scene.
If Shenguang Mountain was not currently shrouded in a colorful mist, preventing the scattered thunder-fire, this main peak would also be affected.
Zhang Ling also recognized those red flowers, which were the blood-red flowers he had seen over there before, which Blue Sparrow called death spirit flowers.
But at this moment, the flowers beneath the lightning tribulation did not release death energy. Instead, it was an extremely pure yin spiritual power, which could actually resist the terrifying silver thunder-fire.
This was definitely not something that ordinary spiritual objects could do. He also secretly wondered what kind of methods that Ruolan was using.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling turned his head to look not far behind him, sensing an aura approaching.
Dongfang Ya also noticed the situation behind her, released her divine sense to explore, and revealed a happy expression. “It's Sister Yun.”
A black-red firelight flew up from a patch of grass and trees not far below, turned in the air, and approached them.
There was a beautiful figure in the firelight, it was Little Phoenix Fairy. Dongfang Ya immediately greeted her and joined Little Phoenix Fairy.
“Sister Yun, are you okay? The aura on your body is a bit chaotic.”
“I'm sorry to make my sister worry, I'm fine. What's going on with the lightning over there? Why is it making such a big commotion?”
Zhang Ling did not move and remained standing in place. He just nodded slightly to Little Phoenix Fairy who looked over.
Little Phoenix Fairy smiled and also signaled.
However, a strange look flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes. He smiled and turned his head, seemingly attracted by the lightning tribulation again. But the moment he turned his face, he frowned slightly.
“So it turns out that a monster is undergoing tribulation, no wonder there is such a terrifying thunder-fire power.”
Dongfang Ya chatted with Little Phoenix Fairy for a few words and also began to observe the situation of the lightning tribulation.
The silver lightning rumbled and exploded constantly, shaking people's eyes.
“By the way, two fairies. I was fortunate enough to arrive here before you, and I found the Lost Soul Fruit and some good spiritual herbs first. Let's divide them now,” Zhang Ling suddenly turned his head, looked at the two women and said with a smile.
He shook his hand slightly, and immediately more than a dozen jade boxes floated in the air.
With a few soft pops, these jade boxes were opened, and they contained thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Especially in the two wooden boxes, each containing a spiritual fruit covered in white light.
It immediately attracted the attention of the two women.
Seeing the Lost Soul Fruit, Dongfang Ya's face lit up with joy.
But she did not immediately take the spiritual medicine, but glanced at Zhang Ling and smiled mockingly. “So this spiritual fruit was obtained by you, we are ashamed.”
“I just arrived one step earlier. We agreed on this matter beforehand, no matter who stepped on the spiritual fruit first, it must be divided equally.”
“Although that's the case, these other spiritual herbs are also valuable, you don't have to take them out.”
“Being able to come to this place is thanks to the two fairies leading the way. Other spiritual herbs are naturally nothing, this is what you deserve,” Zhang Ling said casually.
Hearing his words, Dongfang Ya and Little Phoenix Fairy looked at each other and said nothing more.
Dongfang Ya even blushed slightly, smiled at Zhang Ling, and waved her hand to bring these jade boxes in front of her, and began to distribute them with Little Phoenix Fairy with laughter.
“Sister Yun, I happen to need these blue water cloud mushrooms. Look.”
“Sister can just distribute them, this Lost Soul Fruit is enough,” Little Phoenix Fairy said indifferently.
The distribution of the two women was very harmonious. After a few simple exchanges, they each took away six or seven jade boxes.
However, at this time, an accident occurred.
Little Phoenix Fairy took a few jade boxes, and when she was about to put them into her storage bag. One of the jade boxes suddenly lit up with dazzling yellow light. A verdant spiritual grass placed inside actually bounced up directly.
It flashed in the air and directly turned into a strange black-green vine, and with a swish, it tied Little Phoenix Fairy in place.
“Sister Yun.” Dongfang Ya's face changed drastically when she saw the sudden scene, and her gaze immediately turned to Zhang Ling, glaring angrily, “What are you doing.”
She flipped her hand, and the jade pen pointed in the air, drawing two spiritual talismans, one of which turned into a firelight and rushed towards Little Phoenix Fairy.
Zhang Ling did not answer this question, but a hand that had always been hidden in his sleeve suddenly raised, and a bronze ancient lamp lit up in his hand.
“Break”
A loud voice came from his mouth. A layer of substantive sound waves immediately rushed onto Little Phoenix Fairy.
Little Phoenix Fairy groaned, and her entire body immediately became shaky. Little Phoenix also came back to her senses, glared at Zhang Ling with a gloomy face and roared. Her entire body twisted strangely, and stretched out at once, and broke free from the vine bondage at once.
“He is not Little Phoenix Fairy.”
Zhang Ling took a faster step and shook his hand, a yellow small flag appeared in his hand and released a cloud of gray mist that swept over. At the same time, he also explained.
The gray mist rolled over and trapped the newly freed Little Phoenix Fairy inside.
“Boy, how could you see through this old man's disguise.”
A hoarse voice came from the gray mist, Little Phoenix Fairy's body stretched and changed, and in a green light, it actually turned into a gray snake several feet long, with a gloomy old man attached to the snake's head.
