Chapter 298: The Craving for a Breakthrough

~9 min read 1,669 words

At this very moment.

The space beside Wang Jianqiang rippled, and two figures arrived via Instant Movement.

They were none other than Yang Wanxin and Yun Xin.

"Daoist Friend Wang~"

The two first bowed to Wang Jianqiang, then turned to look at the center of the Tribulation Cloud.

Upon sensing the terrifying power gathering there, both revealed expressions of shock.

Even though they had already completed their transformation and truly become Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, their strength having advanced a step further.

Upon seeing the Tribulation Cloud above Mu Lingxi's head, they still could not help but feel a sense of trepidation.

"Is this Lingxi Fairy's Nascent Soul Tribulation?"

"It is far too terrifying!"

At the center of the Tribulation Cloud.

Mu Lingxi looked up at the rotating Tribulation Cloud in the sky, no longer possessing her previous ease.

Her expression was grave, and the aura of her Three Lives Body was somewhat turbulent.

She had not received that previous bolt of Dark Red Tribulation Lightning easily; all three of her bodies had sustained varying degrees of damage.

Boom~

Suddenly, a peal of thunder sounded once more from the Tribulation Cloud.

The eighth Heavenly Tribulation fell.

The eighth Heavenly Tribulation was likewise a bolt of Dark Red Tribulation Lightning, and it was much thicker than the seventh.

It had reached the thickness of a wrist.

The moment it appeared, an aura of destruction blanketed the sky and earth.

Under the influence of this destructive aura, the surrounding world was actually dyed a dark red color.

An intense crisis of life and death surged from within her heart.

Mu Lingxi's expression tightened.

Her Past Body and Future Body joined their fingers to form a seal, pointing toward her main body.

The aura of her main body climbed instantly.

Ice Mirror!

A low shout was spat out from the mouth of Mu Lingxi's main body.

A layer of ice as thin as a cicada's wing condensed instantly, blocking above the heads of her three bodies.

Immediately following.

A bolt of dark red lightning pierced through space and descended.

Boom!

The next moment.

The ice layer shattered, and all three of Mu Lingxi's bodies spat out blood simultaneously, their forms shrouded in dark red electric currents as they smashed heavily onto the mountain peak that only had two-thirds remaining.

"This~"

"What kind of hellish Tribulation is this!"

Seeing this scene, the newly arrived Yang Wanxin and Yun Xin both gulped.

The dark red Heavenly Tribulation was completely different from the tribulation they had previously undergone.

Let alone before they had transformed, even with that terrifying power.

Even now.

Having truly become Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, they would definitely be reduced to powder by a single strike!

"Because Lingxi practices a special technique, she is somewhat unique."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the half-peak in the distance and spoke.

Although his expression was grave at this moment, he did not have the slightest panic.

The ninth Heavenly Tribulation did not descend immediately.

This meant that Mu Lingxi had already consumed the Lightning Avoidance Pill in time.

The Heavenly Heart Resurrection Pill on her person was enough for her to recover eight or nine tenths of her injuries, allowing her to face the ninth Tribulation Lightning in a near-complete state.

Hopefully, her ninth Tribulation Lightning would not mutate too much!

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Yang Wanxin and Yun Xin were startled, both thinking of Mu Lingxi's bizarre method of creating clones.

They nodded, did not continue to ask, and looked over with grave expressions.

On the mountain top that had lost its peak.

All three of Mu Lingxi's Three Lives Body had consumed the Heavenly Heart Resurrection Pill and were racing against time to refine the medicinal power.

When the hundred breaths of time arrived.

She opened her eyes abruptly.

At the same time, because the medicinal effect of the Lightning Avoidance Pill had dissipated, the Tribulation Cloud locked onto her once more.

Boom~

Amidst a massive peal of thunder, the giant Tribulation Cloud cyclone was illuminated red for an instant.

A bolt of dark red Heavenly Tribulation as thick as a water bucket descended suddenly.

The moment this Heavenly Tribulation revealed itself from the Tribulation Cloud.

The expressions of Yang Wanxin and Yun Xin changed instantly.

Even Wang Jianqiang's expression immediately turned ugly.

Facing this Tribulation Lightning, even he could not help but feel a strong sense of life-and-death crisis.

He did not doubt for a moment that, let alone a Quasi-Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who had just condensed a Nascent Soul.

Even if a Nascent Soul Stage Perfection Cultivator stood before this Tribulation Lightning, they would certainly not be able to survive!

At the same time.

Mu Lingxi, who was facing this Tribulation Lightning directly, felt it much more intuitively than Wang Jianqiang and the other two.

The moment this Tribulation Lightning appeared.

A strong sense of life-and-death crisis instantly engulfed her, and the alarm bells in her heart rang wildly.

She took a deep breath.

The three bodies simultaneously formed a profound hand seal.

"Reincarnation Seal, merge!"

Following a dreamlike voice that emerged from the three bodies simultaneously, the Future Body on the left and the Past Body on the right merged into the main body in the center.

The next moment, the three bodies became one.

Mu Lingxi's temperament changed instantly.

The solemnity on her face vanished, replaced by absolute calmness and indifference.

Her beautiful eyes revealed a sense of looking down upon all things.

She pointed a finger toward the sky.

Space rippled.

An arrow shot straight out.

At first glance, the arrow seemed to be condensed from flowing water.

Looking closely, however, one would discover that the so-called flowing water was actually liquefied Tribulation Lightning condensed to the extreme.

The liquefied Tribulation Lightning circulated at an astonishing speed.

It gathered an astonishing sharpness at the tip of the arrow.

The next moment.

Boom!

The arrow collided with the Tribulation Lightning.

Then, both shattered simultaneously.

Countless fragments of dark red electric snakes descended like a meteor shower, submerging Mu Lingxi and the mountain beneath her feet.

Boom, boom, boom~

A massive, roaring sound rang out in unison.

The entire mountain began to collapse.

Rubble flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky.

"Oh no!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Wanxin and Yun Xin both turned pale, "Lingxi Fairy, she..."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, his expression still relatively calm.

Because the Tribulation Cloud had not yet dissipated, she dared not use her Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze to pry, fearing she would be locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation, and thus could not see Mu Lingxi's specific condition at this moment.

However, Mu Lingxi's Attribute Panel had not dissipated, indicating that she was not in mortal danger at this moment.

It was just that her Attribute Panel had become illusory.

This signified that she had sustained very heavy injuries.

Fortunately, the ninth Tribulation Lightning had passed; as long as she still had a breath left, there was no need to worry about being unable to recover.

As time passed bit by bit.

The Tribulation Cloud in the sky dissipated rapidly.

After the Heavenly Tribulation dispersed.

Wang Jianqiang, Yang Wanxin, and Yun Xin flashed and rushed into the sky full of smoke and dust.

That thousand-foot-tall mountain peak had already disappeared, razed to the ground by the Tribulation Lightning.

The three of them swept their Spirit Sense across the area.

They randomly found Mu Lingxi amidst a pile of rubble.

Mu Lingxi was not unconscious and was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

It was just that her aura had weakened to the extreme.

Even though she was severely injured, her expression remained incomparably calm, as if eternal and unchanging.

Although her eyes were weary, they were incomparably firm, and that sense of looking down upon all things had not dissipated in the slightest.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang arrive, her gaze, which looked down upon everything, fell upon Wang Jianqiang, and a weak yet cold voice sounded, "I did not use the Forbidden Technique; my lifespan will not decrease."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang was left between laughter and tears.

After using this Integration technique, Mu Lingxi's personality would undergo a great change.

But even so, she actually still remembered the instructions he had given her earlier.

"Good for you for being obedient."

Wang Jianqiang pinched her cheek, "Hurry up and change back; maintaining this state is not good for recovering from your injuries."

Mu Lingxi nodded.

Her figure trembled, and she split back into three figures.

After dispelling the Reincarnation True Body, Mu Lingxi's little devil personality returned, and she looked at Wang Jianqiang pitifully, "Senior Brother, I'm in so much pain, please comfort me."

Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "What time do you think it is to be joking? Hurry up and absorb the Creation Power gestating within your body."

Mu Lingxi stuck out her tongue, immediately closed her eyes, and threw her whole heart and soul into her cultivation.

Not long after, her injuries were fully healed.

At Wang Jianqiang's urging, she returned to the Cultivation Room and began her seclusion to transform her spirit body.

After Mu Lingxi left.

Wang Jianqiang turned his head to look at Yang Wanxin and Yun Xin, smiling as he said, "Two Fairies, it just so happens that I am free right now; do the Fairies have any difficult problems they would like me to provide Clarification on?"

Their pretty faces flushed red, and they nodded in unison.

A cup of tea's time later.

Wang Jianqiang leaned against the wall and returned to the Cultivation Room with a dejected look on his face.

Now, he felt as if he had returned to those days in the Qi Refining stage, his desire to break through to the next realm having reached its peak.

He had to go into seclusion.

He had to expand his own limits to the point where they could be expanded no further as quickly as possible.

And then, form his Nascent Soul.
