Chapter 757: Shang Hongchen Successfully Condenses Her Pill

Boom—

Familiar place, surrounded by tribulation lightning elements; earlier, everyone undergoing tribulation did so here, making this spot ideal for tribulation. Over time, a portion of tribulation lightning energy naturally lingered nearby, altering the surroundings.

This area naturally became a forbidden zone for many, inaccessible; some are not afraid of lightning, but tribulation lightning is more rampant and vicious than ordinary lightning—once contaminated, it inflicts irreversible harm on the body.

Not everyone is Chen Chuyang, who fears no tribulation lightning energy and even transforms it into his own thunder technique; the thunder technique he comprehended also came from the tribulation, which not only does not harm him but provides energy, helping him accelerate his comprehension of thunder technique.

Chen Chuyang raised his head, gazing at the tribulation lightning in the sky, and mused, "The tribulation isn't that strong; for your sister it shouldn't be a big problem."

Shang Hongxue let out a breath, her tense nerves slightly relaxing, but she dared not relax too much, after all it was tribulation—rolling tribulation lightning engulfed the surroundings, making her soul tremble, yet she dared not underestimate the tribulation.

After all, not everyone is as heaven-defying as Chen Chuyang, fearless of tribulation.

"Big Brother Chuyang, will Big Sister definitely be able to pass through? Right?"

Chen Chuyang did not answer immediately; no one has absolute certainty, after all tribulation can change.

Such changes can happen at any moment; the most unpredictable thing is tribulation—even though Chen Chuyang has experienced it many times, he still cannot be absolutely certain.

Shang Hongchen's tribulation isn't very strong; compared to Shang Hongxue's earlier tribulation it's far weaker, roughly comparable to Chen Chuyang's father Chen Yuan's tribulation—not strong, not weak.

Rather, it is intermediate; Shang Hongchen forced her breakthrough, so her preparations might be insufficient, leading to some accidents.

Chen Chuyang took Shang Hongxue's hand and soothed, "With me here, it'll be fine."

"Big Brother Chuyang, at that time you need to watch over her—she's my big sister; I can't let anything happen to her."

If Big Sister comes to harm, she won't be able to face her parents.

Her parents sent her to Longshe Shan just to have Shang Hongxue keep an eye on Shang Hongchen, to stop her from doing foolish things.

As the younger sister, she naturally should keep watch, but must not… let Big Sister fall.

"It'll be fine."

Chen Chuyang stared at Shang Hongchen; that woman is smart, she began to welcome the tribulation.

She drew her sword and began hiding within the formation; this formation was set up by Chen Chuyang, casually arranged, yet its effect is not weak.

It can withstand two tribulation strikes; the rest she must endure on her own.

Shang Hongxue clenched her fists, not daring to think further.

Boom—

Tribulation lightning bombarded, relentlessly bombarding.

Shang Hongchen remained inside the formation; after the formation endured two tribulation strikes, it began to wobble on the verge of collapse, the third tribulation strike fell, the formation shattered and accurately bombarded Shang Hongchen's body—though she had prepared, she was still flung outward.

Her whole body was wreathed in lightning, crackling; these bolts left her body slightly scorched.

The outer layer of true qi also shattered, unable to withstand the tribulation bombardment.

Cough cough cough.

Shang Hongchen rose to her feet, experiencing terror of tribulation for the first time; her true qi and defenses were no match before the tribulation.

The next tribulation strike had finished brewing and could fall at any moment.

Shang Hongchen staggered to her feet; it was only one tribulation strike, not enough to fell her.

Boom—

One tribulation strike—no, two tribulation strikes fell together.

They bombarded Shang Hongchen; the two strikes were close, nearly merging.

Shang Hongxue worried, "Two tribulation strikes descending together—Big Sister?"

Chen Chuyang narrowed his eyes, taking no action.

Shang Hongchen drew her sword; sword qi tore forth to meet the two tribulation strikes.

The instant her body made contact, she was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground.

The second lightning strike fell, accurately bombarding her body; Shang Hongchen let out a piercing wail.

"Ah."

Shang Hongxue wanted to go help, but Chen Chuyang pressed her shoulder, shook his head, and said, "She's undergoing tribulation; if you go, you won't be able to help her—instead you'll increase the tribulation's power, putting both of you in danger."

Shang Hongxue panicked, thus forgetting that, and stopped immediately.

Obediently standing beside Chen Chuyang, she apologized, "Sorry, Big Brother Chuyang, I was impatient."

"No need to worry about your sister; she isn't as fragile as you think."

Shang Hongchen rose again.

Her whole body was scorched black, her hair emitting black smoke.

Still she did not fall.

Seeing this, Shang Hongxue realized she had worried needlessly.

"See? She's stronger than imagined."

"I was wrong, Big Brother Chuyang."

Chen Chuyang no longer blamed her; this girl is usually calm, but facing her own sister she panicked—far more than when she herself underwent tribulation, during which she was quite composed.

Though the two sisters usually didn't get along, at the critical moment they still cared deeply for each other.

Both are stubborn-tongued.

Boom—

The tribulation lightning in the sky changed, once again bombarding Shang Hongchen.

Chen Chuyang watched, gazed, and did not help.

Shang Hongchen took a Dragon Blood Pill, restoring her true qi and body.

The Dragon Blood Pill's effect is powerful; her shattered body swiftly recovered, and Shang Hongchen had no time to marvel at its potency—she faced the heavenly tribulation head-on.

Tribulation kept descending, each strike capable of destroying everything.

The ever-bolder Shang Hongchen was now extremely valiant, showing no trace of the initial panic.

Spiritually, she overcame her own fear.

Half an hour later.

Shang Hongchen took a hit of heavenly tribulation, lay on the ground, and gasped heavily.

Her body was filled with the aura of heavenly tribulation, constantly emitting smoke.

She was still breathing; the heavenly tribulation in the sky had dispersed, and the remaining tribulation clouds could disperse at any moment.

Chen Chuyang naturally could not waste it; he rushed up, entered the tribulation clouds, and devoured those tribulations.

Shang Hongxue hurried to her older sister's side; regarding Chen Chuyang's actions, she had already grown accustomed to them.

Shang Hongchen was still seeing it for the first time; those joyful eyes stared at the sky—had she seen wrong?

Upon closer look, within the tribulation clouds there was a black shadow attracting all the tribulation inside; in an instant, rumbling sounds continuously rang out, echoing around.

The terrifying tribulation energy overflowed, making her feel a terrifying pressure.

"Shang Hongchen, are you alright?"

Shang Hongchen shook her head dumbly, eyes fixed on that figure within the dark clouds, raised her right hand, trembling, and asked: "Is that Chen Chuyang?"

"Yes, it's Chuyang brother, any problem?" Shang Hongxue blinked innocently, asking her sister.

Shang Hongchen blinked; besides blinking, she just blinked.

Deep inside, she had already been shocked beyond words; she wanted to speak but found she couldn't utter a word.

She opened her mouth, stammered for a while, but still couldn't say a word.
