589: Enemies attack, grudges from a past life

Su Lan watched the final Lightning Tribulation still brewing in the sky. Her eyes held a trace of lingering fear; if she hadn't possessed numerous methods and comprehended the Space Great Dao, it was hard to say if she could have definitely survived this Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation.

Thunder-Gathering Umbrella!

She raised her hand and took out a small umbrella covered in lightning arcs. This item was an Immortal Venerable-level Magical Artifact; it should be able to withstand this final Lightning Tribulation.

Lightning Tribulations do not allow the use of overly powerful external items. For example, if she used a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or Immortal Emperor-level Magical Artifact for her Breakthrough to Immortal Lord, it would cause the power of the Lightning Tribulation to increase.

But an Immortal Venerable-level Magical Artifact wouldn't have much impact.

The power of the Lightning Tribulation for each Realm is different.

The Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation that descends for an Immortal Lord Breakthrough is vastly different in power from the one for an Immortal Venerable Breakthrough.

"Boom!"

The ninth Lightning Tribulation crashed down. The Thunder-Gathering Umbrella erupted with sky-piercing light, blocking all the lightning. However, because the Magic Treasure found it difficult to endure, it began to shatter continuously.

Finally.

The Thunder-Gathering Umbrella completely shattered, but it had blocked nearly seventy to eighty percent of the heavenly lightning's power. The power of the divine lightning that finally landed on Su Lan was greatly reduced.

Even so, Su Lan still suffered quite a bit.

She was already heavily injured, and now her condition worsened by a few degrees.

But in the end, she had made it through.

After the divine lightning, sweet rain fell from the sky, and the Power of the Great Dao poured down. Su Lan's originally shattered Physical Body began to rapidly recover as before, and her aura continuously climbed, as if an ancient beast was Awakening.

The terrifying pressure of an Immortal Lord was instantly released from within her body.

Heaven and earth fell into a dead silence; even the wind stopped. At this moment, Su Lan sat cross-legged high in the sky, yet she could not be seen with the naked eye.

"Is this the Space Great Dao?"

The Breakthrough in her cultivation allowed her comprehension of the Space Great Dao to grow as well. Now, her use of the Space Dao had become even more skillful.

Su Lan's face was full of smiles. This Rebirth had not only allowed her to gain a Family again but also brought Heaven-Defying gains like the Space Great Dao. Combined with the previously mentioned Yinglong Xiaobai, she felt like she was simply the luckiest person in the world.

"This is wonderful."

Due to the Lightning Tribulation, Su Lan's clothes were torn in many places, revealing her snow-white skin. With a wave of her hand, she took out new clothes to cover herself, returning once again to her cold-as-frost appearance.

Originally, her Rebirth was only intended for re-cultivating to raise her upper limit and Breakthrough to the Dominator Realm.

Unfortunately, many things had happened beyond her expectations, but looking at it now, everything was for the best.

Just as she was preparing to leave, the surrounding space seemed to boil.

"What's going on?"

Su Lan's expression changed. She immediately sensed a crisis approaching and prepared to vanish into space to leave. However, the surrounding space became incredibly viscous, like being stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to move. Her speed in tearing through space also became much slower.

"Oh no!"

If she only thought there was a crisis before, now she was certain that someone was definitely planning to kill her.

She felt a cold killing intent emanating from the surroundings.

Who is it?!

The next moment.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the area as seven figures appeared in the sky. Each of these people exuded a terrifying aura that far exceeded an Immortal Lord and even an Immortal Venerable.

These were... Quasi-Immortal Emperor-level experts, and moreover, seven Half-step Immortal Emperors.

"Hahahaha, Immortal Emperor Yueling, it's been many years. To think you'd actually hide here."

A middle-aged man with a cold face and eyes glowing with hints of purple spoke. His tone was filled with a murderous intent.

"Immortal Emperor Ziyang!"

Su Lan's expression turned solemn. She also recognized who these people were—they were her enemies from her previous life.

Of course, they weren't exactly enemies; to the Su Lan of that time, these people were no different from ants. They had simply hidden away, and Su Lan hadn't paid them any attention afterward.

However, the other party had always regarded her as their enemy.

Immortal Emperor Ziyang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with a bit of playfulness: "Immortal Emperor Yueling actually only has an Immortal Lord's cultivation. Are you heavily injured? No... your aura isn't right. Could it be that you've undergone Reincarnation to re-cultivate?"

Saying this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his face showed an expression of extreme mockery.

If it were the former Immortal Emperor Yueling, they would naturally have hidden away as fast as possible. But the situation was different now. Immortal Emperor Yueling had undergone Reincarnation to re-cultivate. Even if she still had methods from her previous life, how much could she exert now with only an Immortal Lord's cultivation?

Su Lan's expression was cold to the extreme: "You're that confident you can take me down? You should be very clear about this Emperor's strength back then. So what if there are seven Quasi-Immortal Emperors?"

"Even if this Emperor has undergone Reincarnation and re-cultivated, you are not people who can defeat me."

"Hahahaha."

A young man beside Immortal Emperor Ziyang couldn't help but laugh wildly. He looked at Su Lan as if she were a fool and said mockingly, "If you truly had that strength, why would you bother talking nonsense with us? You probably would have made a killing move directly, wouldn't you?"

"Since you chose Reincarnation and re-cultivation, it truly is heaven helping me."

"We were originally some distance away from this Cloud Firmament Realm. If you hadn't used the Thunder-Gathering Umbrella, we really wouldn't have sensed you. Unfortunately... I remember the aura of this Thunder-Gathering Umbrella very clearly."

Speaking up to here, his face was full of resentment and hatred.

Back before Su Lan had broken through to Immortal Emperor, she had a conflict with a certain Family—an irreconcilable, life-and-death conflict.

So, when Su Lan was breaking through to Immortal Emperor, she went directly to that Family's location to undergo her Lightning Tribulation, which resulted in that Family being almost entirely wiped out.

Only a few lucky individuals survived.

These seven people were among those lucky ones, and they were also the only survivors to break through to become Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Back then, Su Lan had only survived by relying on this Thunder-Gathering Umbrella; otherwise, in that situation, she would definitely have been struck dead by the heavenly lightning.

A figure appeared in front of Su Lan. He was dressed in black and looked at the seven people expressionlessly, but his furrowed brows showed that he was extremely serious at this moment.

"Young Miss, just focus on escaping later. I will hold them back here."

The newcomer was Su Lan's servant. He was also at the Half-step Immortal Emperor cultivation. Individually, he was no worse than any of the seven, but against all seven, he likely had no chance of victory.

Su Lan's expression was incredibly grim. Although the Space Great Dao was exceptionally powerful for escaping, a Formation had been applied to the surroundings. She couldn't escape the Formation in a short time; it would take time to do so.

And he was the only one who could buy that time.

Damn it!

The joy of her recent Breakthrough to Immortal Lord vanished instantly. She even felt a faint worry that if things went poorly today, she would not only die but might even implicate the entire Su Family.

Half-step Immortal Emperors could already deduce heavenly secrets. Once she died, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find the Su Family. Given their level of hatred for her, everyone in the Su Family would definitely not escape this calamity.

Abominable!

Thinking of this, Su Lan's expression became increasingly ugly...
