75: Chapter 75 The elders of the Hehuan Sect were drooling!

As soon as the words fell.

Outside, the sky 'swished' into complete darkness.

Immediately after, a fierce gale began to blow.

Heavy black clouds gathered above Lianxiang Peak.

The cloud layers squeezed and collided against each other, flashing with heart-palpitating purple lightning within.

"Boom—!"

A deafening rumble of thunder exploded.

The entire mountain peak trembled violently along with it.

This commotion was truly terrifying.

It was exactly the same as the display when Cao Kun formed his Golden Core in the square a few days ago.

The only difference was that today's Lightning Tribulation was mixed with a bone-piercing, extreme chill.

The entire Hehuan Sect was thoroughly startled.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Countless streaks of light shot into the sky from various mountain peaks.

Inner Sect Elders, Peak Revered Masters, and Core Disciples all rushed out from their Immortal Caves, hovering in mid-air, looking towards Lianxiang Peak from afar.

Outside the Main Hall of the Main Peak.

The Hehuan Sect Revered Master, Qin Canglan, stood before the hall entrance.

A dark golden gauze dress perfectly displayed her voluptuous and graceful figure.

A gentle breeze brushed past, the skirt hem swaying against her jade-like legs, inadvertently revealing a myriad of charms.

Unlike the cloying, delicate, and seductive mannerisms of the female Disciples under her.

Her charm as a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator was innate and natural.

Even the simple act of lightly raising her jade arm to casually tidy the hair at her temple.

Exuded the mature elegance of one long accustomed to a position of authority.

At this moment, she looked up at the sky, her usually composed face full of astonishment.

"A Lightning Tribulation for a top-grade Golden Core? Another top-grade Golden Core?" Qin Canglan frowned deeply.

"This direction is Lianxiang Peak..."

She thought of that young man who had impressed her a few days ago.

But Cao Kun had already achieved Core Formation.

That left only one possibility.

Yu Linglong's Personal Disciple, that Leng Qingyue who possessed the Top-grade Ice Spirit Body.

Atop Baihua Peak.

Meng Yudie reclined on a soft couch, not even bothering to drink the freshly brewed flower tea, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on the thunderstorm vortex above Lianxiang Peak.

Beside her, Liu Rumeng looked at the distant thunderclouds, her gaze extremely complex.

Qingyue had actually taken the lead to charge into the Golden Core Stage.

Moreover, the momentum of this Lightning Tribulation was completely on par with Revered Master's that day!

"This girl is really lucky," Meng Yudie sighed softly, a hint of jealousy in her tone.

"The Top-grade Ice Spirit Body is indeed uniquely favored by heaven.

But the power of this Lightning Tribulation has already exceeded the limit of what an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator can withstand."

Meng Yudie shook her head, delivering her conclusion.

"Her foundation is too shallow. How many days has it been since she broke through to Late Stage Foundation Establishment?"

"Even with such a good Physique, without time for accumulation, without heavy treasures for protection."

"She won't be able to withstand this Lightning Tribulation. She might be reduced to ashes by the very first bolt of lightning."

This was also the shared thought of all the Elders hovering in mid-air throughout the Hehuan Sect at this moment.

Cultivation was inherently a Heaven-Defying endeavor.

The higher the talent bestowed by the heavens, the more ruthless the killing tribulation they would send down.

Leng Qingyue was ultimately too impatient.

Inside the Main Hall of Lianxiang Peak.

Cao Kun had no intention of stepping in to help.

Nangong Wan in his arms looked up, gazing at the lightning outside the door.

"Husband, it seems your pure and chaste little wife has encountered a big problem."

"Aren't you going to lend a hand? If that lightning strikes, not even bone fragments will remain."

"Then you'll be missing a lovely girl to warm your bed."

Cao Kun shook his head and said calmly:

"The Lightning Tribulation is a trial and a gift from heaven and earth."

"If I help her bear it, not only will the power of the tribulation increase,"

"But the quality of the Golden Core she forms will also greatly diminish."

"She must bear this Lightning Tribulation herself."

Yu Linglong stood to the side, her palms drenched in sweat.

Although she was jealous of Leng Qingyue, that was, after all, the Disciple she had raised with her own hands.

If she were to die in the Lightning Tribulation just like that, the Legacy of her Lianxiang Peak line would be completely severed.

"Crack—!"

A dazzling, eye-piercing flash of light streaked across the sky.

The first thigh-thick heavenly thunder, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, tore through the black clouds and struck towards the seclusion chamber.

The observing Elders collectively gasped.

Some even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the tragic scene of such a beauty perishing.

At this critical moment.

"Bang—!"

A loud explosion.

The roof of the seclusion chamber was directly blown off by violent icy spiritual power.

Countless broken stones and tiles shattered in all directions.

A white, graceful figure shot into the sky from the ruins, braving the lightning-filled sky!

It was Leng Qingyue.

Her black hair danced wildly, her exquisitely beautiful face full of stubbornness.

Facing the purple heavenly thunder descending upon her, Leng Qingyue did not retreat or evade.

She directly met the lightning, throwing a punch upwards!

"She's mad! This girl is mad!" an Elder shouted in disbelief from afar. "Relying purely on her Physical Body to withstand heavenly thunder? Does she think she's a Body Cultivator Great One?!"

The next second.

Blinding white light swallowed half the sky.

A dull impact sound rang out.

The lightning exploded, transforming into countless fragmented electric arcs dancing in the air.

Leng Qingyue's body paused slightly in mid-air, stubbornly withstanding this destructive force.

A faint, reddish halo flowed over her body, channeling all the destructive power of the heavenly thunder into her body.

The crowd watching below was shocked beyond words.

She withstood it!

Not only did she withstand it, but she was completely unharmed!

What kind of monstrous Physical Body strength was this?!

Since when did the Top-grade Ice Spirit Body come with an indestructible function?

Cao Kun sat in the Main Hall, looking at that aloof figure in mid-air, and smiled with satisfaction.

Joking aside, this was the result of his, Cao, imparting everything he had.

The dual baptism of Solar Essence and the Chaos Unity Art.

Within Leng Qingyue's seemingly delicate and tender body, an extremely terrifying amount of blood and Qi power had long been accumulated.

Just the first heavenly thunder was nothing to worry about!

The Heavenly Dao seemed angered by this Mortal's provocation.

The thunderclouds churned even more violently.

Giving Leng Qingyue no chance to catch her breath.

The second, third, and fourth heavenly thunders arrived one after another!

Each thicker than the last. Each fiercer than the last.

The lightning illuminated the entire Lianxiang Peak with a ghastly white light.

Leng Qingyue dodged, twisted, and turned in mid-air, icy blue spiritual power clashing frantically with purple lightning.

Every impact was accompanied by deafening sonic booms.

However, the power of the Lightning Tribulation was ultimately too terrifying.

This was the Heavenly Dao's will to annihilate.

By the time she withstood the sixth heavenly thunder.

Leng Qingyue was still grazed by a thick pillar of lightning that struck down past her shoulder.

With a "sizzle."

A few charred tears were ripped into her plain white dress by the tribulation lightning.

Her fair, jade-like arm was exposed to the air, its edges bearing burn marks.

Crimson blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, appearing especially shocking.

Leng Qingyue's aura began to fluctuate violently, and her originally solid icy-blue protective spiritual light also flickered, bright then dim.

"In the end, it's still not enough."

Qin Canglan, watching from afar, sighed, a flicker of regret in her eyes.

The other Peak Revered Masters also gathered together, shaking their heads repeatedly.

"The might of the Lightning Tribulation cannot be withstood by human power. Senior Sister Leng's foundation is ultimately lacking."

"This is only the sixth thunderbolt. There are still the three most deadly ones to come. This is a hopeless dead end."

Everyone believed Leng Qingyue was finished.

Just as everyone felt pity for this Prodigy about to wither.

Leng Qingyue in mid-air was surprisingly calm.

She wiped the blood from her mouth, her small hand flipping over.

An exquisite white jade porcelain bottle materialized in her palm.

Leng Qingyue unhesitatingly swallowed the Medicinal Pill inside the bottle.

As soon as the pill entered her mouth.

A rich medicinal fragrance, like a storm, swept across the entire Lianxiang Peak!

Spreading out in all directions.

This medicinal fragrance was simply too domineering.

Just one whiff made one feel the spiritual power within their body boiling, and long-standing Bottlenecks seemed to show signs of loosening.

"This... what is this scent?!"

The Elders hovering in the distance widened their eyes one by one, sniffing frantically.

"G-grade... G-grade!"

"That's a grade 6 barrier-breaking pill!!"

That was a pill that could forcibly break through cultivation Bottlenecks.

And it was just eaten like candy by a Personal Disciple at Late Stage Foundation Establishment during her Core Formation?!

Wasteful! Too wasteful!

Countless Elders and Peak Revered Masters were jealous to the point their eyes turned red.

If not for the oppressive might of the heavenly thunder still present.

They would have rushed over to pin Leng Qingyue down and dig that pill out of her stomach.

In mid-air.

The massive medicinal power exploded within Leng Qingyue's body.

Flushing through her limbs and bones.

The Meridians damaged from withstanding the heavenly thunder were repaired to perfection in an instant.

Even wider and more resilient than before.

Leng Qingyue's depleted spiritual power recovered at an astonishing speed.

And continued to climb, directly breaking through its previous limit!

The thunderclouds in the sky were thoroughly enraged.

The Heavenly Dao's majesty could not be profaned.

The black clouds churned madly, forming a huge vortex in the center.

All the thunder and lightning converged towards the center.

The final, and most terrifying, ninth heavenly thunder was taking shape.

No longer a simple pillar of lightning.

But a lightning Dragon dozens of zhang long!

The lightning Dragon tumbled and roared within the cloud layers, the aura of destruction it emitted making even the watching Golden Core Elders feel their hearts palpitate, involuntarily retreating.

"Roar—!"

A dragon's roar that shook heaven and earth.

The purple-gold lightning Dragon opened its abyssal maw and dove down from the sky.

Sworn to utterly annihilate this Heaven-Defying ant.

Leng Qingyue stood in mid-air, her sleeves fluttering.

She looked up at that world-destroying lightning Dragon, her gaze as cold as ice.

Within her body,

The medicinal power of the grade 6 barrier-breaking pill had been pushed to its limit.

The Origin power of the Top-grade Ice Spirit Body erupted completely.

"Zheng—!"

A clear, crisp sword cry echoed through the clouds.

Leng Qingyue's right hand made a grasping motion, and a crystalline sword formed entirely of extreme cold spiritual power appeared in her hand.

Facing the lightning Dragon, she swung her sword!

"Slash!"

Leng Qingyue cried out.

The crystalline sword swept from below to above, tracing an extremely brilliant icy-blue Sword Qi.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the air instantly froze.

"Boom—!!!"

The Sword Qi and the lightning Dragon collided violently in mid-air.

There was no moment of stalemate.

That terrifying lightning Dragon, capable of annihilating Golden Core Stage Cultivators, began to freeze inch by inch from its head in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after.

With a crisp "crack."

The lightning Dragon shattered in mid-air, breaking into countless pieces of icy debris.

Fine ice crystals scattered like rain, refracting specks of faint light.

The oppressive tribulation clouds above dispersed and retreated.

The gloom receded, and sunlight shone down once more.

Leng Qingyue hovered in mid-air.

At this moment,

Within her Dantian, a chilling Golden Core had completely stabilized.

Intricate Dao patterns flowed on the surface of the Golden Core, the mark of the top-grade Golden Core, the "Void Ice Core."

After the ice core condensed.

Leng Qingyue's temperament also underwent a complete transformation.

The girlish innocence of the past faded completely, leaving only aloofness and transcendent purity.

She stood under the moonlight, her skin white as snow, her brows and eyes like a painting.

The tattered hem of her white dress fluttered in the night wind, the overflowing chill directly freezing the moisture in the air, transforming into snowflakes that danced in a whirl around her.

She was like a celestial maiden descended from the Nine Heavens.

Unstained by worldly dust.

Just as everyone thought this "celestial maiden" was about to depart as if Ascending in broad daylight.

Leng Qingyue in mid-air slowly lowered her head.

"Senior Brother Cao..."

Her small tongue lightly flicked, silently murmuring.

In Leng Qingyue's heart.

She only wanted to rush into that man's arms, using this body that had just undergone the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation, now even more flawless and perfect.

To properly consolidate her supreme status as the "chief little wife"!

Inside the Main Hall,

Cao Kun picked up the spiritual tea on the table, took a light sip, and said quietly:

"Revered Master, you really need to step up your game. Your obedient Disciple is now much more alluring than you."

Golden Core Stage Leng Qingyue
