238: A glimmer of hope in despair!

“Are you Human? Or a Eerie Clan member?”

Chen Shu looked at Su Ming with her strange eyes, full of disbelief.

Chen Shu hadn't expected Su Ming to single-handedly annihilate the entire Heavenly Emperor City, and with such an overwhelming display of power.

“Do you think I look like a Eerie Clan member?”

Su Ming couldn't help but smile, making his already pale face even paler.

After recovering, Chen Shu tried to calm her emotions and spoke.

“I think you're even more terrifying than the Eerie Clan!”

Chen Shu wasn't lying. No Eerie Clan member of the same Realm was a match for Su Ming. Forget the same Realm, not even Eerie Clan members below the Immortal Realm could stand against him.

Su Ming let out a wry chuckle.

“I need to recover. I'll return to Hope Zone in a few days!”

Su Ming's voice was hoarse; he was indeed extremely weak at the moment.

More importantly, he planned to both simulate and rest here.

Arriving at an open space, Su Ming directly built a temporary wooden house for a short period of secluded Cultivation.

Chen Shu watched this scene and did not stop him.

At this moment, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She didn't know how to handle this matter once they returned to Hope Zone.

Since Su Ming could destroy Heavenly Emperor City alone, he also possessed the ability to annihilate their Hope Zone.

“Sigh!”

After a long sigh, Chen Shu decided it would be better to wait until her brother Chen Tian arrived.

...

Inside the wooden house.

Su Ming looked at the simulator panel before him and quietly spoke.

“Start Simulation!”

[Simulation begins!]

[Day 1, you are recovering from your injuries in the temporarily built wooden house.]

[However, you discover that this time, the speed of your injury recovery is much slower than before.]

[After much thought, you speculate that it might be due to a simple depletion of Qi.]

[In this situation, your True Dragon Precious Body does not provide a better bonus.]

[You know that the True Dragon Precious Body only has an advantage when external injuries are severe.]

[Thus, one month later!]

[Your Physical Body has recovered to its Peak state, and you step out of the wooden house.]

[When you step out of the wooden house, you see an unexpected person.]

[You didn't expect Chen Tian to have arrived at Heavenly Emperor City at some point.]

[Chen Tian heard the movement and looked at you, who had emerged from the wooden house, his eyes filled with complexity.]

[Chen Tian hadn't expected you to have destroyed the entire Heavenly Emperor City by yourself.]

[Furthermore, he learned from Chen Shu that the Bai family had indeed grown close to the Eerie Clan and betrayed the Human Race.]

[Chen Tian, who had originally intended to go all out to protect you, felt a bit awkward after seeing the current situation.]

[After a brief silence, Chen Tian was the first to break the calm.]

[“Let's leave here and return to Hope Zone. The Council of Elders must be informed of what happened here!”]

[You nodded and followed Chen Tian back.]

[One month later!]

[You returned to Hope Zone within the Ancient Emperor Relic.]

[Upon returning to Hope Zone, Chen Tian immediately intended to go to the Council of Elders, but you suddenly stopped him.]

[Chen Tian looked at you in confusion.]

[You paused, then asked Chen Tian if he knew where to find xuanhuang stone marrow in Qingxuan World.]

[“xuanhuang stone marrow?”]

[Chen Tian furrowed his brows, constantly searching his mind for information about xuanhuang stone marrow.]

[After a long time, Chen Tian shook his head helplessly.]

[“xuanhuang stone marrow is too rare. In this era where Body Cultivators are in decline, it's almost impossible to find any trace of it.”]

[“However...”]

[“xuanhuang stone marrow might exist within the Fallen Immortal Abyss.”]

[Upon hearing Chen Tian's words, you felt a wave of disappointment.]

[You naturally knew there was xuanhuang stone marrow in the Fallen Immortal Abyss, but the xuanhuang stone marrow there could only forge one Profound Yellow Shield.]

[You shouldn't place all your hope on Chen Tian.]

[After listening to Chen Tian, you knew that Qingxuan World was completely hopeless.]

[And to successfully Undergo Tribulation of the Nine-fold Chaos Divine Lightning, there are two necessary conditions: either a stronger Physical Body, or using an Immortal Artifact, similar to a Profound Yellow Shield, to assist yourself.]

[The former, to make your Physical Body Breakthrough the Spirit Bone Realm and reach a higher Realm, is a viable path, but it would take too long, and you simply don't have that much time to Cultivate.]

[Moreover, it's difficult to achieve a Breakthrough in the current environment; there's no better trial ground than the Fallen Immortal Abyss for you to Cultivate.]

[Ultimately, you can only place your hope on xuanhuang stone marrow.]

[However, you plan to ask Xuanyuan Tianji if there are any other Immortal Artifacts similar to the Profound Yellow Shield that can withstand the Lightning Tribulation.]

[Inside Xuanyuan Tianji's wooden house!]

[“Only an Emperor Weapon or xuanhuang stone marrow can help you!”]

[Xuanyuan Tianji told you that xuanhuang stone marrow was originally formed by being tainted with a portion of a great Body Refining expert's essence blood, combined with Xuanhuang Qi. A Profound Yellow Shield crafted from it could naturally withstand the Chaotic Thunder Tribulation.]

[Xuanyuan Tianji told you that besides this, only an Emperor Weapon could resist it.]

[“Also, I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible!”]

[You looked at Xuanyuan Tianji in confusion, asking her why.]

[Xuanyuan Tianji told you that although a Profound Yellow Shield crafted from xuanhuang stone marrow could help you block the Lightning Tribulation, it could only be used once per Undergoing Tribulation. After that, even if the Profound Yellow Shield was not damaged, it could not be used again.]

[Xuanyuan Tianji told you that if you forced its use, the intensity of the Chaos Divine Lightning would increase a hundredfold.]

[Xuanyuan Tianji told you that in the past, some opportunistic people collected a large amount of xuanhuang stone marrow, hoping to easily Undergo Tribulation by relying on the crafted Profound Yellow Shield.]

[“Do you know what happened?”]

[You shook your head.]

[“That person, during the second Chaos Divine Lightning, the power of the Chaos Divine Lightning increased a hundredfold. That person was instantly annihilated, and even the surrounding thousand-mile radius was affected!”]

[Upon hearing this news, your heart sank.]

[After Xuanyuan Tianji told you this news, you knew that your plan would be completely ineffective.]

[With only one Profound Yellow Shield usable, the xuanhuang stone marrow in the Fallen Immortal Abyss was completely sufficient.]

[Xuanyuan Tianji, standing by, saw your extremely grim expression and quickly guessed your current predicament.]

[“Sigh!”]

[“I told you long ago that this path is very difficult, and few people throughout the ages have been able to complete it.”]

[“Are there any other methods?”]

[You told Xuanyuan Tianji all your inner thoughts.]

[You told Xuanyuan Tianji that you might only be able to withstand five or six of the nine-fold Lightning Tribulation at most, and there was still a considerable distance to complete success.]

[You asked her if, besides Body Refining, there were any other methods that could help you successfully Undergo Tribulation.]

[As your words fell, the wooden house fell into an eerie silence.]

[After a long time!]

[“Yes!”]
