Chapter 2333: Life and Death Tribulation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The vital energy within a radius of thousands of kilometers was churning, and it could be said that this was a never-before-seen spectacle.
Meanwhile, the cultivators were completely stunned as they gazed at the piercing aura that had blasted a gaping hole into the tribulation of the Heavenly Dao. This commotion was far too great, and it had even affected the process of the Heavenly Dao’s tribulation.
“Is the senior sister of the Four Nine Immortal Sect truly going to face her Dao Integration Stage Tribulation? Good heavens! She’s not even one hundred years old! How can such a supremely talented person exist in the world?”
“What do you mean? Aren’t the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Battle God An Lin and Divine Phoenix Maiden equally as freakish?”
Everyone was rendered speechless upon hearing this.
Just as everyone was feeling stunned and delighted, Elder Zhu Yuanzhou suddenly asked in an anxious voice, “Ye Ling chose to face her tribulation at this time, but can she truly succeed? You have to realize that this is a critical moment for crushing the heavens. In other words, the Heavenly Dao is being greatly affected. Will this not influence her tribulation?”
His concern was naturally warranted.
Right now, the Heavenly Dao was in a state of great instability. As such, it was anyone’s guess whether anything unpredictable would occur during Ye Ling’s tribulation. If something unpredictable were to occur and greatly affected her, then it was extremely likely that she would die, regardless of how supremely talented she was. After all, there was no room for mistakes when one faced their tribulation!
Ye Ling clearly understood this as well. However, she still insisted on facing her tribulation now.
Upon seeing this, a flicker of hope appeared in the minds of the cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect.
“If she successfully passes her tribulation, then we’ll have two Dao Integration Stage super-mighty beings. At that time, perhaps we’ll be able to win!”
“Are you sure…? Our grand elder was an experienced Dao Integration Stage cultivator, yet he was unable to suppress that Heavenly Demon even with the help of the sect leader. Ye Ling will only be an inexperienced Dao Integration Stage cultivator after she passes her tribulation. As such, do we truly stand a chance…?”
Some of the disciples were brimming with confidence, while some of the disciples were filled with anxiety.
However, regardless of how they felt, everyone was praying for Ye Ling at this moment. At the same time, they also started to hunt and kill the Heavenly Demons who were trying to near her.
The peerless Heavenly Demon and Zhu Xuze, who were engaged in an intense battle, also noticed the current situation.
“Facing a tribulation at such a time? She’s seeking death,” the Heavenly Demon said in a calm voice. It was as if it could see through all matter, and it didn’t pay any more attention to Ye Ling.
It turned its gaze back to the vainly struggling Zhu Xuze. As long as it killed Zhu Xuze, this top sect of the Kingdom of the Nine States would undoubtedly be destroyed.
Thus, the priority right now was to kill Zhu Xuze.
Boom!
Bolts of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.
These bolts of lightning were hazy, and their forms were also irregular. They were dark black in color, yet there was also a hint of purple among them. Bringing with them a terrifying might, these bolts of lightning obliterated the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of the inky black sky into void and nothingness. Arcs of astounding fractures spread through the sky.
Almost everyone yelped in astonishment.
This was because these bolts of devastating lightning were descending toward the young woman!
No one had imagined that Ye Ling’s tribulation would be a lightning tribulation, and no one had imagined that this lightning tribulation would be so profound and devastating. To say nothing of Return to Void Stage cultivators, even Zhu Xuze—a Dao Integration Stage super-mighty being—felt a cold chill shooting down his spine. He was both shocked and terrified.
These bolts of lightning… shouldn’t have existed in this world!
These were bolts of Chaotic Divine Lightning; these were bolts of lightning at the God of Creation Stage!
These were bolts of lightning that should have only appeared during God of Creation Stage Tribulations!
Everyone was stupefied.
At this moment, Ye Ling felt as if everything in this heaven and earth were so vivid and clear—the crumbling sky, the wild Heavenly Demons, the roaring divine lightning…
Everything suddenly slowed down.
She was distinctly aware that she would be obliterated into nothingness if these bolts of divine lightning fully descended. However, she didn’t complain about the Heavenly Dao being unfair, and she didn’t complain about why the Heavenly Dao was unleashing bolts of lightning that should have only appeared during God of Creation Stage tribulations.
Ye Ling straightened her slender body and immediately leaped into the air. At the same time, she fully unleashed her Divine Dao of Assassination with her dagger like a silver river as its radiance soared through the sky and slashed at the bolts of Chaotic Divine Lightning!
The crumbling sky, the earth-shattering lightning, as well as the young woman who had leaped into the sky in a dazzling display… Everyone stared at this stunning scene before them.
Boom!
There was a deafening explosion of lightning, and it was so loud that it almost blew everyone’s eardrums out.
The bolts of Chaotic Divine Lightning directly exploded.
A fearsome might surged into the surroundings, causing the Heavenly Demons within a radius of five hundred kilometers to involuntarily falter. The center of the explosion more so transformed into a destructive space that was filled with arcs of lightning.
“Ling’er!” Lan Yan shouted. Her eyes were bloodshot as she dazedly stared at the expanse of lightning, and her heart was aching so much that she could barely breathe.
Such an intelligent and adorable little girl had actually died at the hands of the Chaotic Divine Lightning. When An Lin and Xu Xiaolan heard about this, just how incredibly aggrieved would they feel…?
A feeling of grief instantly welled up in everyone’s heart.
They had placed all of their hopes in Ye Ling, and they had yearned for her to turn the tables after successfully passing her tribulation. However, who would have expected her tribulation to be so extraordinary? It had directly unleashed a lightning tribulation that should have only appeared in God of Creation Stage Tribulations…
How could she endure this?
“The heavens are determined to destroy the Vermilion Bird Sect…!” an elder exclaimed. His face was already filled with tears.
However, another elder suddenly shouted, “No! Look over there! What’s that?”
The disciples and elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect immediately looked toward the dissipating expanse of lightning, only to discover that the young woman was still silently standing there. Moreover, she was completely unscathed!
Some of the disciples could barely believe what they were seeing, and they rubbed their eyes to make sure that they weren’t hallucinating. At this moment, the expanse of lightning had already completely dissipated, revealing the delicate and beautiful face of the young woman. Her eyes were clear and limpid, and they appeared especially radiant under the night sky.
There was an arc of hazy and formless yet incredibly devastating, divine lightning coiled around the silver-white dagger in her hand, and as it pulsated, it released arcs of tiny lightning that fused into her body. As if afraid that she couldn’t withstand its power, these arcs of lightning were traveling toward her at an extremely slow speed.
The cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect were all dumbfounded upon seeing this.
What’s going on?
Ye Ling was also slightly dazed.
As proud and unyielding as she was, even she had thought that she would definitely die. After all, she genuinely hadn’t been able to come up with any method to deal with those terrifying bolts of divine lightning.
However, although she hadn’t been able to come up with any method, it seemed as if the Chaotic Divine Lightning had come up with a method for her…
Like snakes and dragons, arcs of Chaotic Divine Lightning were coiled around the divine tool in Ye Ling’s hand. Moreover, they were slowly releasing a powerful might that contained the devastating dao power of divine lightning, allowing her to safely and steadily undergo a transformation.
Ye Ling suddenly recalled the situation when she had faced her Return to Void Stage Tribulation. At that time, the lightning tribulation had also acted as it was doing so now. It had given her an extremely comfortable massage, and as she was enjoying it, her cultivation base suddenly advanced to the next level… Who would have thought that her Dao Integration Stage Tribulation would also be this incredibly comfortable?!
There was joy and delight on Ye Ling’s face.
Her understanding of the Divine Dao of Assassination became deeper and more profound, and this Divine Dao also started to become increasingly complete. Moreover, after being tempered by the Chaotic Divine Lightning, her physique would also become far more powerful. In fact, it would become even more powerful than the physiques of ordinary Dao Integration Stage super-mighty beings!
Right at this moment, however, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect suddenly started to scream in shock and alarm.
Ye Ling looked toward the peerless Heavenly Demon, only to discover that Zhu Xuze had already lost an arm to the blue blade of this Heavenly Demon. Moreover, the next strike of this peerless Heavenly Demon was directly slashing toward Zhu Xuze’s neck!
Ye Ling was still facing her tribulation, so she was extremely worried upon seeing this.
However, as she glanced at the arcs of Chaotic Divine Lightning that were coiled around her dagger, a daring thought suddenly emerged in her mind…
