162: True Man Chiyun undergoes tribulation
"Good, come!"
Immortal Master Chiyun's hair and beard stood on end. On that aged face, which was usually full of "majesty," only endless "determination" remained!
"Roar—!"
He did not retreat in the slightest; instead, he actively met it head-on!
"Divine Ability—Crimson Flame Body Protection!"
Boom—!
A loud noise!
That terrifying "Purple-Gold Divine Thunder" slammed fiercely against that "Crimson Flame" protective shield!
Thunder and fire intertwined and collided madly, flashing with dazzling light that made it difficult for many to open their eyes.
The entire sky seemed overshadowed by the thunder and fire.
It looked as if the entire Beast Taming Sect was bathed in this dizzying halo.
However!
It lasted less than a single breath of time!
"Bang—!"
That "Crimson Flame" shield shattered with a sound!
The remaining power of the Lightning Tribulation also landed on Immortal Master Chiyun.
"Pfft—!!!!!"
Immortal Master Chiyun's figure, which had been "forging ahead," trembled violently, and a mouthful of scorching "blood" gushed out!
Invisibly, it seemed as if an irresistible force was suppressing him downward.
His figure was actually forced down by this "first" Lightning Tribulation from that "ten-thousand-foot high sky"...
Dropping a full thousand feet!
"Wha... What?!"
"The first one! This... this is only the first Lightning Tribulation!"
"Immortal Master Chiyun... actually... actually got injured and spat blood?!"
"This... this..."
The tens of thousands of Disciples who had been "harboring luck" saw this scene, and their faces, which had been full of "tension," instantly... turned deathly pale!
It's over!
How can he still undergo this?!
This is only the first one!
There are still... eight more to go!
"Crack!" "Crack!"
However, the Heavenly Dao is ruthless!
The Lightning Tribulation would not pause for even a moment because of the "despair" of the "ants"!
The second, third Lightning Tribulation...
Followed one after another!
Each one more violent than the last! Each one more terrifying than the last!
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
Immortal Master Chiyun acted like he was possessed!
He crazily squeezed the "scant" Golden Core power within his body to the limit!
Magic Treasure!
Divine Ability!
Secret Technique!
...
He almost "unreservedly" "poured out" his "hundreds of years" of foundation!
Various foundations were used by Immortal Master Chiyun to resist the Lightning Tribulation.
And these foundations gradually shattered under the Lightning Tribulation.
The number of Lightning Tribulations also decreased.
Fourth!
Fifth!
Sixth!
...
After paying the "painful" price of "several" Magic Treasures "shattering" on the spot and his "Physical Body" nearing "collapse"!
Immortal Master Chiyun...
Actually managed to...
Hold on through...
The eighth Lightning Tribulation!
As long as he passes the last Lightning Tribulation, he can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Hoo..."
"Hoo..."
"Hoo..."
His figure, which had been full of "determination," was now "tottering"!
That "red robe," which had been "majestic," had already turned into "powder" in the sky under the "ravages" of the "Lightning Tribulation"!
His whole body was already "charred" black, without a single piece of "intact" skin!
That terrifying aura, which had been at the "Golden Core Peak," had withered to... the limit!
Eight terrifying Lightning Tribulations had already brought him to the brink of collapse.
It seemed as if Immortal Master Chiyun did not look like a Peak Revered Master at all, but more like an old man flickering like a candle in the wind.
"He... he held on!"
"Heavens! Eight strikes! Immortal Master Chiyun... he actually held on through eight Lightning Tribulations!"
"Only... only the last one is left!"
"As long as... as long as he can survive this last one! Our Beast Taming Sect... will be able to give birth to another... Nascent Soul giant!"
The Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, who had been plunged into "despair," saw that "standing" "charred" figure, and in those eyes that had been "dim," once again... ignited a spark of "hope"!
However!
The "worry" on the faces of those "high-cultivation" "Elders" became increasingly... intense!
They could clearly sense...
Immortal Master Chiyun...
Was already...
At the end of his rope!
He...
Was already at the "critical point" of "having to break through"!
But...
This ninth Lightning Tribulation was the most "terrifying" one among the "Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation"!
Its power...
Was even more terrifying than the "first eight" combined, several times over!
With Immortal Master Chiyun's current "state" of being a "candle in the wind"...
How could he...
Resist it?!
With Immortal Master Chiyun's current state, facing the ninth Lightning Tribulation was basically ten deaths and no life.
Shangguan Jing's heart, which had been "slightly" set at ease, once again... rose to his throat!
His "jade hands," which were "tense" to the extreme, were even pinched with "blood marks" from "excessive force"!
Rumble—!!!!!!
The Heavenly Might was enraged!
The "endless thunder clouds," which had already gathered to the "peak," crazily "rolled" and "compressed"!
A "destruction thunder pillar" capable of completely splitting the heavens and earth...
Had already formed!
"Crack—!!!"
The next moment!
The "ninth" Lightning Tribulation, filled with "endless destruction" and "judgment" aura, descended with a terrifying posture "capable of instantly killing an Early Nascent Soul stage Cultivator"...
It descended with a bang!
"No—!"
"Revered Master—!"
The tens of thousands of Disciples, who had been "harboring hope," saw this "world-destroying" scene and instantly...
Their eyes cracked with rage!
They seemed to have already seen...
Immortal Master Chiyun following in the footsteps of "Immortal Master Jinyun," instantly "Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering," "turning into powder"...
That scene!
However!
Just at the moment before that "destruction thunder pillar" was about to "descend"...
Immortal Master Chiyun, who had been "tottering" and whose "aura" had withered to the limit, suddenly opened his "aged" eyes, which had been "dim"...
Suddenly!
In them...
There was not a shred of "despair"!
There was only that "burning the boats"...
Madness!
"Hahahaha!"
He suddenly looked up and laughed wildly!
That "hoarse" roar, filled with "endless heroism" and "determination," resounded across the entire sky!
"Old friend..."
"—Help me!!!"
As the words fell!
"Screech—!!!"
A "terrifying" cry, filled with "endless high-pitched" and "unyielding" spirit, suddenly rushed from Immortal Master Chiyun's "charred" "crown of the head"...
Soaring into the sky!
The next moment!
A "firebird" phantom, entirely "crimson" in color and burning with "roaring flames"...
Shot out from his body without warning!
It looked like a crane, but the crimson flames radiating from its body made it look like a Golden Crow, and also like a Phoenix.
The firebird looked deeply at Immortal Master Chiyun, and finally... unafraid of death, it was undaunted.
It just went "unhesitatingly" to meet that "world-destroying"...
—Purple-Gold Divine Thunder!
"Screech—!!!"
That terrifying cry, filled with endless high-pitched and unyielding spirit, instantly tore through the endless pressure brought by the ninth Lightning Tribulation!
Seeing that crimson firebird phantom, burning with roaring flames, after rushing out of Immortal Master Chiyun's crown, its illusory figure instantly solidified under the crazy infusion of endless Spiritual Qi!
A terrifying Yao Beast might, no less than the Golden Core Peak, erupted!
"Th-that is... what?!"
"It's Immortal Master Chiyun's Natal!"
"Crimson Spirit Eagle! I remember now! That is Immortal Master Chiyun's Natal Crimson Spirit Eagle!"
A senior Inner Sect Disciple, after seeing the true face of the firebird, felt his face, which had been full of despair, instantly replaced by thick shock!
Heavens! Rumor has it that Immortal Master Chiyun's Crimson Spirit Eagle had already reached the end of its Lifespan and fallen into a deep sleep a hundred years ago?!
That's right! I have also heard Revered Master mention it! That Crimson Spirit Eagle has a Fourth Rank Bloodline! It possesses infinite potential and can reach the Fourth Rank Yao Beast realm comparable to a Nascent Soul!
But... why is its aura still Third Tier Peak?!
And. Immortal Master Chiyun... he actually summoned his own Natal at this final moment of life and death?!
He... what does he want to do?!
The tens of thousands of Disciples who had been plunged into dead silence saw this subversive scene and instantly boiled over again!
"C-could it be..."
"Immortal Master Chiyun wants to let his Crimson Spirit Eagle undergo the tribulation with him?!"
"Prosper together, suffer together?!"
"Hiss—!"
This... this is too crazy, right?!
Using a Third Rank Demonic Beasts body to hard-resist the world-destroying Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation?! This... this is fucking suicide!
No! That's not right!
A young True Disciple had a flash of fanatical speculation in his bright eyes!
"Have you forgotten the legend?! Legend says that if the Revered Master and the Natal have a mutual understanding and share life and death! They can merge into one when the Heavenly Tribulation descends! Together resisting the Heavenly Might!"
"There's even a possibility that if one person attains the Dao, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"
"What?!"
"This... this is possible?! If... if it is truly so! Then wouldn't our Beast Taming Sect... be about to have two Nascent Souls?!"
Boom—!
Once these words were spoken!
It was no different from a Chaos Divine Thunder striking the crowns of the tens of thousands of Disciples who were already at a loss!
The discussions, which had been full of shock and disbelief, were instantly drowned out by a heaven-shaking ecstasy and excitement!
"The heavens have eyes!"
"Hahahaha! I said it! Immortal Master Chiyun is calculating and flawless! How could he seek his own death?!"
"So... so this was his real trump card!"
"Great! Great! Two Nascent Souls! If it is truly so! Then our Beast Taming Sect will surely flourish!"
However!
Just as the tens of thousands of Disciples were plunged into endless ecstasy and fantasies due to this sudden shocking reversal!
In front of the Sect Masters Great Hall.
Shangguan Yun's beautiful face, which had been full of tension and hope, just before the Crimson Spirit Eagle rushed into the sky and fearlessly met the destruction thunder pillar!
Whoosh!
All color drained away!
No!
That's not right!
Her jade hands, which had been tightly clenched, trembled violently!
In her clear, water-like bright eyes, the hope that had been burning fiercely was instantly extinguished!
Replaced by thick disbelief and deep-seated sorrow!
She understood!
Inside the Tranquil Courtyard.
Mysterious Ink's massive dragon body, which had been lying bored under the old locust tree, silently idling, suddenly stiffened!
Its majestic dragon pupils, which had been half-squinted, slowly opened!
Its majestic dragon pupils, full of laziness and surprise, faintly glanced at the one person and one eagle that were the focus of everyone's attention!
Heh—
On its majestic dragon face, the playful smile slowly receded!
A magnetic and disdainful mutter slowly sounded:
"This seat truly overestimated you."
"I thought you, Old fellow, might have some earth-shattering backup plan."
"I didn't expect."
"It was actually sacrificing your own Natal to prolong your life?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk—"
"Truly pathetic!"
No!
It's not!
Senior Martial Uncle Chiyun... how could he dare?!
Shangguan Yun's petite body trembled violently!
She wanted to refute!
She wanted to deceive herself!
That!
That's not true!
That!
That is the Beast Taming Sect!
That!
That is the Beast Taming Sect, which is founded on beast taming!
The Revered Master and the Natal should be partners who share life and death, honor and disgrace!
Sacrifice?
Sacrificing one's own partner to achieve one's own Dao?!
This!
This!
This is simply rebellious!
This is a taboo strictly forbidden by the Beast Taming Sect!
But, the determination and deep attachment that flashed in the Crimson Spirit Eagle's eyes, which had been full of spirituality and pride! Were so clear and so glaring!
That was clearly the look of someone going to their death!
Rumble—!!!
Heavenly Might cannot be provoked!
The ninth Lightning Tribulation, which had already gathered to the peak, carried the terrifying Heavenly Might capable of instantly killing an Early Nascent Soul stage Cultivator!
It descended with a bang!
Screech—!!!!!!!
The Crimson Spirit Eagle did not hesitate, did not retreat in the slightest!
Its small body, burning with roaring flames, went unhesitatingly to meet it!
"No—!"
"Little Chi!"
Immortal Master Chiyun's aged eyes, which had been full of madness and determination, suddenly widened at this moment!
A hot, turbid tear fell without warning!
However!
Boom—!!!!!!!!!!
No earth-shattering loud noise!
No heart-rending screams!
In front of that world-destroying Purple-Gold Divine Thunder!
In front of that destruction thunder pillar capable of completely splitting the heavens and earth!
The Crimson Spirit Eagle's unstoppable crimson flame figure only lasted less than a breath!
Sss—!
Its indestructible Yao Beast body, its proud and unyielding Soul, its loyalty that had burned for hundreds of years... were all in this instant!
Completely evaporated by that terrifying Lightning Tribulation!
Turning into powder in the sky!
Not even a trace was left in this world!
Dead!
The Crimson Spirit Eagle is dead!
Gulp.
The tens of thousands of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, who had been in extreme ecstasy, had their mountain-shaking cheers... stop abruptly!
The smiles on their faces instantly froze!
The eyes, which had been full of fanaticism and hope, suddenly widened at this moment!
Within them, only endless dullness remained!
And that disbelief as if they had seen a ghost!
This!
This!
How could this be?!
Th-the Crimson Spirit Eagle, died... died?!
Immortal Master Chiyun sacrificed his only Natal?!
Boom—!
In an instant!
Hell!
Heaven!
That huge contrast that was only a step away!
That bloody reality that was cruel to the extreme!
Fiercely tore apart the last shred of fantasy in their hearts!
Silence!
Deathly silence!
