Chapter 763: After All, I'm Your Older Brother

Their hands were forcibly separated by the heavenly thunder, and Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen were forced to fall toward the cliff.

This scene exceeded everyone's expectations!

Xiao Hu!

Xiao Hu, affected by the heavenly thunder, was more impacted than Xiao Chen and plummeted at high speed.

Ye Qingran's heart trembled, and she instinctively wanted to save Xiao Hu.

"Xiao Hu!" Xiao Chen shouted in surprise, lunged out, grabbed Xiao Hu, and he himself clutched a protruding rock on Thirteenth Peak.

Boom~

The power of thunder and lightning roared, with flashing bolts and roaring thunder.

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen were still very young; although their cultivation far surpassed that of their peers, they had not yet reached Sainthood and could not fly freely. Under the influence of the thunder and lightning now, they were completely immobilized.

"Hahaha, go die quickly!"

Bai Zifeng's eyes lit up, a cold sneer repeated, his gaze filled with schadenfreude.

"Xiao Hu, hold onto me!" Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.

"Alright!" Xiao Hu's eyes were firm; he checked Xiao Chen's condition while watching the surroundings.

Soon, he saw a protruding rock on the cliff beside them, and his eyes brightened.

"Xiao Chen, did you see that stone? Throw me over to it!"

Xiao Chen also noticed the rock at the same time and said to Xiao Hu, "Alright! You must hold on tightly!"

Ye Qingran bit her lip, feeling both pain and pride for them.

When her children faced difficulties, their first reaction was not to complain or sigh, but to diligently think of solutions, carefully observe the surroundings, confront the challenge, and remain calm, making many adults feel ashamed.

The heavenly thunder grew ever more fierce; in such an environment, the two's strength drained rapidly, already drenched in sweat, yet they gritted their teeth and persisted, their eyes flashing with resolute light.

This scene moved an unknown number of people.

"Are they really just two children?"

"Their calm demeanor is simply astonishing!"

"Well done!"

Very sentimental people even shed tears.

"Xiaohu Xiaocheng, keep it up!"

Han Xing and the others held their hearts aloft, silently cheering for them.

After enduring hardships, Xiao Hu finally grasped the protruding stone and let out a long sigh.

"Xiao Hu, are you okay? Let's climb up together!"

"I'm fine! Let's go!"

The two climbed up the cliff side, and when their hands reached the cliff's summit, they exchanged a smile.

Ye Qingran's eyes reddened, feeling an urge to have tears well up.

No matter how strong she was, the children were always her soft spot, the deepest tenderness in her heart.

"Xiao Chen, thank you!"

"Thank what?"

"You just caught me!"

"There's nothing to thank for; we're brothers!"

Xiao Hu chuckled, then added, "Indeed, after all I'm your older brother."

Xiao Chen's expression froze, "Does brother still need me to save him?"

Xiao Hu thought for a moment, "Brother also has moments of misstep!"

"Then your chance of misstepping is quite high!"

The two kids kept talking back and forth, and before they knew it they had reached the center of Thirteenth Peak.

The thunder and lightning power was especially terrifying, the electricity coursing over their skin, their bodies tingling, but compared to before, it was much better.

"They actually succeeded!"

Everyone, moved as they were, also felt endless astonishment.

One must remember, they are still just children!

Although the process was somewhat winding, they ultimately stood on the Thirteenth Solitary Peak, achieving what many adults could not.

"Damn it!"

A group of Bai Tribe members led by Bai Zifeng wore faces of disappointment.

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen, after briefly adapting to the thunder and lightning on Thirteenth Peak, turned and waved at Ye Qingran, "Mother, come quickly!"

Everyone looked at Ye Qingran, but saw no cause for suspense.

If Ye Qingran's sons could ascend Thirteenth Peak smoothly, she certainly could as well.

Ye Qingran smiled with satisfaction, "Mother, I'm coming right now."

Saying so, she leapt gracefully amid the crowd's heated gazes, landing effortlessly on the Thirteenth Solitary Peak.

"That's way too easy, isn't it?"

"Looking at her, it seems she didn't even lift a finger."

"Is it really that smooth?"

One must know that although the two solitary peaks are adjacent, a chasm lies between them, and it's unknown how many people have been blocked on the opposite side.

Ye Qingran accomplished it without effort; it's hard not to be shocked!

Although they had guessed the ending, witnessing it firsthand still surprised them greatly.

"Mother!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng immediately rushed up.

"You're such good babies!" Ye Qingran rewarded each of them with a sweet kiss, and Xiaohu Xiaocheng were overjoyed.

"Indeed worthy of the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit, such talent is admirable!" Bai Zifeng's voice came from below, mixed with Mysterious Force, "I suppose we will be able to see the scene of the Heavenly Thunder Extinction today, won't we?"

Bai Zifeng fastened a tall hat onto Ye Qingran's head.

If she truly achieves the Heavenly Thunder Extinction, that's easy to say; if she fails, it would be a huge embarrassment.

The members of the Yun Tribe remained silent; speaking further now would be futile. They watched Ye Qingran with tense faces, praying that she could create a miracle.

Ye Qingran glared at Bai Zifeng below, said nothing, and instead addressed Xiaohu Xiaocheng, "You've already done great. Mother believes you can do even better, but considering the Heavenly Thunder's effect on your bodies, Mother hopes you'll stop at a reasonable point, okay?"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng obediently nodded, "We'll all listen to Mother."

"So good."

Ye Qingran sat down cross‑legged.

The Thirteenth Solitary Peak was already the highest; at this moment lightning flashed and thunder roared. Ye Qingran, in a white dress, her robes fluttering, resembled a celestial maiden descending.

Beside her, Xiaohu Xiaocheng were like fairy children and divine offspring, indescribably ethereal.

"Is Ye Qingran about to start? Doesn't she need any time to adapt?"

Usually, those who reach the Thirteenth Solitary Peak take some time to recuperate, restore their strength, and adapt to the lightning power there; Ye Qingran clearly had no such intention.

In the vast Heavenly Thunder Domain, the lightning power surged more ferociously than before; the bolts, like silver dragons, were surrounded by slender thunder serpents spreading in all directions, resembling a gigantic lightning net!

"The lightning power has become much stronger!"

"Indeed! I recall three years ago when Bai Zichuan triggered the Heavenly Thunder Extinction, it was far less terrifying and turbulent than now!"

"It's over! Ye Qingran's luck is just too bad, isn't it?"

Feeling the oncoming lightning aura, the skin tingled, and even far from the lightning core breathing was hard and the whole body ached, let alone the core, Ye Qingran herself?

Everyone thought Ye Qingran's attempt this time was very precarious.

"Ye Qingran, did you see? Even the heavens don't want you to succeed!" Bai Zifeng muttered coldly to herself.

After a long while, the Heavenly Thunder's intensity only increased, seemingly not under Ye Qingran's control.

"Hahaha, Ye Qingran, is that all your skill?"

"What does reaching the Thirteenth Solitary Peak matter? Can't you still not extinguish any lightning power?"

"What Daughter of the Cloud Spirit? It's nothing but a joke!"

The Bai Tribe members could no longer hold back; they pointed at Ye Qingran and laughed loudly.

Not only the Bai Tribe, but others also began to think Ye Qingran could not make the Heavenly Thunder Extinction, since after so long there was still no change.

The Yun Tribe members furrowed their brows one by one, unwilling to believe this was real.
