239: Chapter 239 The Tribulation of Inner Demons

Jiang Luoli was, after all, a person with Memory Awakening.

This type of martial artist was undoubtedly a favorite of the heavens.

Not only could they gain formidable power in a very short time after their memory awakened,

but even after they had fully absorbed all that power,

the speed at which their cultivation broke through was on a completely different dimension compared to other martial artists.

Driven by the memories of her past life and that extreme obsession she held in her heart,

during those five days of secluded cultivation,

the Phoenix Qi of the Great Yin Queen, Jiang Li, within her body began to rise frantically at a terrifying speed that defied common logic.

On the third day of her seclusion,

the barrier of the peak Twelfth Stage began to teeter under the impact of the overwhelming Dark-gold Phoenix Qi.

However, to take that final step and achieve the Transcendent Realm—the Thirteenth Stage—

one had to cross the most dangerous hurdle for any cultivator:

The Inner Demon Tribulation.

And for Jiang Luoli, her inner demon had only ever been one person from beginning to end.

Su Chen.

At that moment, her consciousness was pulled into a void of chaos.

The surrounding scenery gradually transformed into the inner palace of the Great Yin.

It was that inner chamber where red candles burned high and brocade curtains hung low.

That was the only time in her past life she had shared with him.

Actually, she hadn't originally intended to get involved.

But...

When she saw Su Daji feed Su Chen the Nuptial Wine, causing both of their consciousnesses to become clouded and blurred,

she had taken advantage of the brief moment of distraction after Su Daji finished to secretly take that vixen's place.

In the Inner Demon Tribulation,

all of this was infinitely magnified, becoming incredibly clear and realistic.

It was even more intoxicating than the actual experience.

It was so scalding it almost melted her soul.

In the illusion, she saw herself dressed in the elaborate coronation robes of the Queen.

"Your Majesty..."

"Call me husband..."

"Husband... my husband..."

"I love you..."

...

Jiang Luoli's Inner Demon Tribulation was finally completely overcome.

BOOM—!

In the mountain cave in reality,

a vast and boundless wave of Dark-gold Phoenix Qi exploded outward.

It broke through the layers of seals Jiang Luoli had placed before her seclusion.

It shot straight into the clouds.

The Transcendent Realm, Thirteenth Stage!

Jiang Luoli snapped her eyes open, gasping for breath, her full chest heaving violently.

She had broken through.

In just five days, she had crossed the chasm that countless geniuses could never reach in their entire lives.

However, when she tried to stand up,

she felt a sensation.

She looked down.

In the next second,

Jiang Luoli's beautiful face instantly turned so red it looked as if it might bleed.

Even her slender neck was stained with a layer of rouge.

The reason was simple.

The hem of the skirt she had always worn, which was quite well-fitting,

was now drenched.

"This..."

Jiang Luoli felt as if her entire body had been drained.

She didn't have an ounce of strength left.

At the thought that she had actually reached such a state during the critical moment of her breakthrough,

the Eldest Miss of the Jiang Family and Queen of Yin, who always prided herself on her calm self-restraint, was so embarrassed she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Gritting her teeth, she quickly used her spiritual power to clean her body.

She changed into a slit yellow dress that was not much different from the original one.

Suppressing the throbbing within her body that had not yet fully subsided,

Jiang Luoli immediately sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.

Having broken through to the Thirteenth Stage, she felt a bit more confident in confronting Su Daji.

And that majestic Phoenix Qi, which had reached the Transcendent Realm,

was now even more tightly bound to the Dragon Qi on Su Chen's body.

She now wanted to sense Su Chen's Human Emperor Dragon Qi, which was tied to her fate in the unseen realm.

She needed to know exactly where her husband was right now.

However,

the moment the two strands of providence connected in the void,

Jiang Luoli's face instantly turned from a shy red to a deathly pale.

Even her delicate body couldn't help but tremble violently.

"How can this be..."

In her perception,

the Human Emperor Dragon Qi representing Su Chen

was actually exceptionally weak and dim at this moment.

Logically, as the Human Emperor, the aura on Su Chen's body should be powerful and masculine.

But...

The Dragon Qi that should have been as brilliant as a blazing sun was now listless.

It flickered in and out as if its very essence had been ruthlessly drained by something extremely terrifying.

In this situation, there were generally only two possibilities.

First, Su Chen's physical body had suffered some serious injury.

Although she was loath to admit it, Jiang Luoli had to acknowledge

that with her man by Su Daji's side, there was truly no one in this world who could harm him.

As for the other possibility, Jiang Luoli didn't dare to think about it.

But this horrific thought forced its way directly into her mind.

Yang Essence depletion!

And it was the kind that was without restraint or bottom line.

"Su... Demon Concubine Su Daji!"

"You fox spirit!"

"How... how dare you!"

Jiang Luoli was so angry her whole body shook, and her silver teeth ground together audibly.

For Su Chen's Dragon Qi to weaken to such an extent,

it wasn't hard to imagine.

In these short five days,

just how many times had that wench taken Su Chen?

His reincarnated memories had only just awakened, and his cultivation was barely at the Seventh Stage.

How could he withstand that kind of day-and-night marrow-sucking and bone-draining treatment from that old hag of the Hehuan Sect?

Of course, if the protagonist of that encounter were replaced with her, Jiang Luoli, she would naturally accept it gladly.
