107: Dark clouds, the grilled fish is here!
Under the amplification, the healing effect strengthened a bit, allowing Wu Yun to recover quickly.
However, the tribulation clouds in the sky did not disperse and were still brewing tribulation lightning.
Chen Fei's heart sank; as expected, Tuoba Zhiyuan was right—Wu Yun had to endure at least 6 bolts of tribulation lightning.
He could only hope that the subsequent tribulation lightning wouldn't be so terrifying.
On the other side, because Chen Fei had been suddenly teleported, the High Priest and the others only just arrived at the foot of the mountain.
But even though they were clearly at the foot of the mountain, they couldn't see the situation on the mountain for the life of them.
The War Drum Master struck a drum and then listened intently: "The sound of the drum didn't pass through, but bounced back. Something should be blocking the way ahead."
"It's Tuoba Zhiyuan!" The High Priest thought of this person immediately.
"This person possesses a Space System Yao Beast and is not someone we can face head-on at this stage."
"He is a human whose talent even the Lord has praised."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have needed to go to a small city like Tianqing City to develop our forces."
Everyone then realized that the High Priest was so wary of this Tuoba Zhiyuan.
The War Drum Master asked again: "Then what should we do now?"
The High Priest fell silent for a moment before spitting out one word: "Wait!"
"Tuoba Zhiyuan's illusions are a warning. If we enter rashly, we will likely be detected."
"This would be detrimental to our follow-up actions!"
No one objected; the High Priest was as steady as ever.
Following the path he set rarely led to mistakes.
In the sky!
After brewing, the fourth bolt of tribulation lightning finally fell.
The color of this bolt was different again—it was red, like flames.
"This one is the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Lightning, a lightning aimed at sinners."
"The more innocent killings one has committed, the easier it is to be targeted by this lightning."
"If your beast hasn't committed too many innocent killings, you don't need to fear this lightning."
With Tuoba Zhiyuan's explanation, Chen Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"In other words, tribulation lightning actually clears away the negative things from the one Undergoing Tribulation."
"The fewer negative things there are, the easier it is to pass the tribulation lightning."
Tuoba Zhiyuan agreed: "According to the materials I've checked, that is indeed the case."
"Therefore, for the Four-Winged Whale Kun, which flies among the white clouds all year round and is indifferent to worldly affairs, it is actually easier to pass the tribulation lightning."
These words were actually intended by Tuoba Zhiyuan for the Four-Winged Whale Kun to hear.
"As for us, being in this chaotic world, we can only prove our Dao through slaughter!"
Chen Fei nodded heavily; this meant that when he underwent tribulation in the future, he would definitely encounter this bolt of tribulation lightning again.
But that was all in the future. If he could survive the Ten Evil Kings first, thinking so much now was useless.
The fifth bolt was a gray tribulation lightning.
"This is the Purgatory Heart Demon Thunder, manifested from Heart Demons, filled with various temptations or entering illusions of the past."
"Those with great obsessions in their hearts, or those who have made oaths to heaven and earth but failed to keep them, will be severely injured by this tribulation lightning in such cases."
Just as Tuoba Zhiyuan finished speaking, Chen Fei's heart leaped into his throat again.
Wu Yun's obsession was not small; he didn't know if it could pass safely.
However, before the two could react, the sixth bolt of tribulation lightning had already fallen.
The interval between them was shorter than any before.
"This is the Mortal World tribulation lightning. Any living being has their own bonds, be it family, love... and some become regrets, hatred... these are unfavorable for passing this tribulation."
"It seems your beast's obsession is very deep, an obsession like a demon."
"That's why these two bolts of tribulation lightning fell in succession."
Lying on the ground, Wu Yun indeed entered its memories.
A Six-Winged Headless Angel carrying a heavy sword blocked its path.
And at this time, it was being held in someone's arms.
It was that familiar scent of jasmine.
Wu Yun looked up; wasn't that the person it once wanted to follow!
But in the next moment, it was thrown out by this person.
"Meow~ No!"
The moment it was thrown into the sewer, Wu Yun saw that girl fall into a pool of blood once again.
Soon, this scene played out again, endlessly.
The Lightning Tribulation used this obsession and this regret to completely crush Wu Yun's heart.
Later!
Wu Yun was in a white space where there was nothing except for a withered tree.
No, it should be said that it didn't want anything to be there.
It was afraid to face it; it was afraid to see that girl fall in front of it again.
It just wanted to lie there lonely under that withered tree for the rest of its life.
So sometimes, the tribulation of the inner world is a bit more terrifying than the tribulation of the physical body.
"Wu Yun!"
"Wu Yun!"
"Wake up, Wu Yun..."
Chen Fei, Chi Yu, and Little Gu kept sending their voices over using their consciousness.
Even if there was only a tiny possibility of helping, they would not give up.
"Wu Yun, have you forgotten? We haven't defeated the Headless Angel together yet!"
"Wu Yun, this big brother doesn't allow you to die before me!"
"Wu Yun, you promised to go find my clansmen with me."
"..."
The prone Wu Yun suddenly raised its head.
It seemed like someone was calling me?
"Wu Yun!"
Another call!
Wu Yun stood up and turned around but found nothing.
However, the withered tree behind it actually began to sprout.
In this white space, there were finally other colors.
These small sprouts slowly grew and then turned into bubbles.
In the bubbles, there were some images.
"Little Gu, Chi Yu, lock onto that black cat for me!"
"Damn, this black cat can even use Earth Escape?"
Seeing the pathetic way the person and two beasts tried to capture it, Wu Yun couldn't help but laugh.
They are so stupid!
"Wu Yun, the grilled fish is here!"
"Wu Yun, use [Quicksand Technique]."
"Wu Yun, see if that stone has purple qi."
"Wu Yun, I will definitely lead you to tear that Headless Angel apart!"
As if touching a keyword, Wu Yun finally remembered.
It turned out that in its world, there wasn't just that girl.
Now, it had Chen Fei, as well as Little Gu and Chi Yu.
All the bubbles on the tree shattered at this moment, then grew into a towering tree.
Green grass and flowers continuously grew on the ground, forming a vast prairie.
A milky-white phantom landed behind Wu Yun and said softly: "Wu Yun!"
Wu Yun's whole body stiffened!
What a familiar voice!
Looking back, who else could it be but that girl.
She crouched down and stroked Wu Yun's head:
"Wu Yun, I have never blamed you; you don't need to feel guilty!"
"In the future, I won't be able to accompany you on your path."
"But someone has replaced me, haven't they?"
With a couple of laughs, the girl continued: "Don't carry these hatreds; it's too tiring. Just live well..."
The moment she finished speaking, the girl vanished into thin air.
The white space also shattered at this moment.
Wu Yun opened its eyes!
But it couldn't control its tears.
"Roar~"
A heart-wrenching tiger roar.
"Meow~"
A relieved cat meow.
Wu Yun's massive body shrank, becoming its original form.
However, six lightning marks appeared on its back.
The tribulation clouds in the sky also began to slowly dissipate.
Chen Fei patted his chest; it was a close call, thank goodness.
Just when he and Tuoba Zhiyuan both thought it was over, a phantom of the Tribulation Lightning Saber-toothed Tiger suddenly appeared on Wu Yun's body.
"Roar~"
It let out a roar toward the sky!
And the tribulation clouds seemed to be provoked, actually gathering once again.
The seventh bolt of tribulation lightning was about to fall...
