Chapter 322: After the Heavenly Tribulation

Wang Jianqiang looked at that thin, dirty, and messy figure, a trace of nostalgia appearing on his face.

He leaned down, wanting to pick her up.

Yet her figure was like a flower in the water or the moon in a mirror, impossible to touch.

Gradually.

Her figure began to blur...

And slowly dissipated.

Following the dissipation of Luo Yunshang, the old woman's expression quickly became dull and vacant.

Wang Jianqiang looked up at the old woman, paused for a moment, and sighed, "Using the deepest obsession in one's heart as a foundation, you evolve a Heart Demon Illusion silently and without a trace."

"Once a person undergoing Tribulation Transcendence dies in the illusion, their Soul will be extinguished, and they will truly die."

"The Heart Demon Tribulation is indeed terrifying."

"However, within this Heart Demon Illusion, although you can evolve everything and change everything, you must still follow the most basic logic, otherwise the Heart Demon Illusion will develop fatal flaws."

"For example... this Heart Demon Illusion was derived with Luo Yunshang as the core; it cannot contain people I never met when I was with Luo Yunshang."

"Another example... you cannot change Luo Yunshang's personality or her attitude toward me, otherwise I would be able to wake up instantly by spotting the flaw."

"It is a pity..."

"Given Luo Yunshang's personality, she would not let me die before her."

"Therefore..."

"She destroyed the two great death traps you designed for me."

"Killing those three vagrants... wiping out those dozen or so soldiers who came to hunt me down..."

"She even subconsciously reminded me, helping me break through the memory seal."

"Forcing you to act like a cornered beast, disregarding logic, and manifesting the strongest person I encountered in my youth ahead of time to kill me."

"You thought that manifesting the old woman from Xuanqing Palace would be enough to kill me, and that there would be no more accidents."

"But you are, after all, merely a wisp of Heart Demon thought spawned by the Heavenly Tribulation; with your simple intelligence, how could you understand the potential hidden within Luo Yunshang's body, ultimately being blocked by her in this desperate strike of yours!"

"Luo Yunshang is the obsession in my heart, and also the core of this Heart Demon Illusion; once she dies, this Heart Demon Illusion is effectively broken."

"Therefore, I broke through your memory seal and remembered everything."

Speaking to this point, a smile flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face, "To be honest, I should actually thank you for letting me see Luo Yunshang again."

"It's just..."

Wang Jianqiang paused, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes, "Even though I know it's fake, the scene of Luo Yunshang dying in front of me still makes me very unhappy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his palm grabbed forward fiercely.

The old woman's form shattered instantly.

Awoo~

After the old woman's form shattered, a black aura rose from within her body, transforming into a ferocious face with a gaping mouth full of fangs, coming to devour Wang Jianqiang.

This black aura was the Heart Demon Origin derived from the Heavenly Tribulation.

Although the Heart Demon Origin is strong, it is only strong in its ability to construct the Heart Demon Illusion; its direct combat ability is quite mediocre.

Wang Jianqiang merely moved his intent.

His Spirit Sense surged out completely, slamming heavily into the Heart Demon Origin.

Amidst a shrill roar.

The Heart Demon Origin shattered into fragments filling the sky.

The moment the Heart Demon Origin shattered, the surrounding illusion world also began to break apart.

Outside.

Seeing that the Heavenly Tribulation had yet to dissipate, the worry on the women's faces grew increasingly intense.

Heart Demon Tribulation.

A term that makes all cultivators turn pale at the mere mention of it.

The Heart Demon Tribulation is not rare; what is rare is a Cultivator who can survive the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Almost no one who triggers the Heart Demon Tribulation can survive it.

Since ancient times.

Those who can survive the Heart Demon Tribulation are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Although they had great confidence in Wang Jianqiang's abilities.

Facing this Heart Demon Tribulation, which was almost certain death, they could not help but worry.

Just as everyone was looking into the distance with heavy hearts.

Wang Yu Yao inadvertently swept her gaze over the Tribulation Cloud in the sky, her expression startled, "Look quickly at the sky, the Tribulation Cloud seems to be dissipating."

Hearing this, the women looked toward the sky one after another.

They immediately discovered that the dark red Tribulation Cloud in the sky was indeed paler than before, and it was continuing to fade.

Seeing this, apart from a sense of impatience that they could hardly wait, there was not much relief on their faces.

The dissipation of the Heavenly Tribulation only proves that the Heavenly Tribulation has ended.

It does not prove that Wang Jianqiang is necessarily safe and sound at this moment.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

That thick Tribulation Cloud finally dispersed completely.

The women flew toward the front, unable to wait any longer.

A moment later.

A massive deep pit appeared within the field of vision of the women.

The deep pit extended far into the distance until the end of their sight, like an endless canyon.

They searched all along the deep pit.

Not long after.

They seemed to have sensed something and looked in unison toward one direction.

A figure came into view.

His entire body was charred black, like a piece of burnt charcoal.

"Senior Brother!"

"Uncle Wang!"

"Daoist Friend Wang!"

Seeing this figure, the women all descended together.

After they arrived at Wang Jianqiang's side, they did not touch Wang Jianqiang.

They could feel that although the aura on Wang Jianqiang's body was weak, it was still relatively stable.

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief and stopped to wait on the side.

Not long after.

The charred skin on Wang Jianqiang's body began to peel off, revealing the newborn skin underneath.

When the charred skin had completely fallen off, his aura had already recovered to its peak.

His eyes slowly opened.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang wake up, the women gathered around one after another.

"Senior Brother, did you encounter a Heart Demon Tribulation?"

Wang Yu Yao looked at Wang Jianqiang with lingering fear.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "This Heart Demon Tribulation is indeed treacherous; fortunately, I have already passed it."

"Uncle Wang, with your strength, how could you be caught by the Heavenly Tribulation through a loophole in your heart?" Su Yutong frowned as she looked at Wang Jianqiang, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Although Wang Jianqiang's Heavenly Tribulation was strong, his strength was even stronger.

Logically speaking, his mental defenses should not have been broken by the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, lost in thought.

He could be certain that his own heart had absolutely not been penetrated by the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The appearance of this Heart Demon Tribulation likely had nothing to do with him personally.

Rather, it was because of the Five-Element Spiritual Root.

If he had not guessed wrong.

The Heart Demon Tribulation should be a standard feature for Five-Element Spiritual Root Cultivators undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

It would be one thing if the Thunder Tribulation were powerful enough to make one despair, but there was also a Heart Demon Tribulation.

This Heavenly Tribulation really left no path for survival.

With his strength, being able to pass it involved a component of luck, let alone ordinary Five-Element Spiritual Root Cultivators.

This Five-Element Spiritual Root was simply a dead end.

No wonder there had never been a record of a Five-Element Spiritual Root Cultivator achieving Nascent Soul since ancient times.

Just at this moment.

A fragrance suddenly drifted into his nose, and Wang Jianqiang returned to his senses.

Mu Lingxi had already leaned in front of him, grinning mischievously, "Not bad, Old Wang, your Heavenly Tribulation is catching up to how impressive mine was."

Wang Jianqiang glared at her.

At this moment, a large amount of Creation Power was constantly being generated within his body, and he urgently needed to refine it.

He had no time to bicker with this girl.

His figure flashed and disappeared.
