Chapter 123: Breaking the Cocoon to Become a Butterfly, Reshaping the Physical Body, Transformation Spirit Initial Stage
Boom!
The seventh Heavenly Tribulation descended; Jiang Xun's entire body ignited with lightning, the Liu Hong Sword was thrust into the ground, and holding the Soul-Suppressing Sword high, he circulated his Spirit Power.
The heavenly lightning traveled through the Soul-Suppressing Sword, passed through Jiang Xun's body, and was then conducted into the ground via the Liu Hong Sword.
Although this simple lightning rod reduced the power of the heavenly lightning, this was, after all, no ordinary lightning; it was aimed directly at the spirit and soul.
While Jiang Xun's body did not suffer too much damage, his spirit and soul were battered into a chaotic mess.
Even Si Yuyan, who was within Jiang Xun's Consciousness Sea, was nearly harmed.
But this was also a necessary step for Tribulation Transcendence.
After all, if one did not temper the spirit and soul through heavenly lightning, what would be the point of breaking through?
The eighth Heavenly Tribulation gave Jiang Xun absolutely no chance to catch his breath, following closely behind the seventh.
Jiang Xun immediately deployed five layers of Black Shield.
The Heavenly Tribulation descended, and the five layers of Black Shield were instantly shattered; Jiang Xun slashed out with a ray of lightning light using the Soul-Suppressing Sword, barely managing to dissipate it after a moment of resistance, but the Heavenly Tribulation continued toward Jiang Xun and was then shattered by a strike from the Soul-Suppressing Sword.
The scattered lightning burrowed into Jiang Xun's spirit and soul, shocking him into a wail.
"Ugh... ah!!!"
Jiang Xun knelt halfway on the ground, one hand on the Soul-Suppressing Sword and the other on the Liu Hong Sword, which was thrust into the ground to support his body.
"Hold on, it's the last one!"
Si Yuyan shouted as she watched Jiang Xun.
Yet she saw Jiang Xun let go of the Liu Hong Sword and reach back to pull out a medicinal pill.
Si Yuyan was all too familiar with this pill!
Soul Returning Pill.
She had lost count of how many times she had seen it in Jiang Xun's hands!
Just how many Soul Returning Pills does this guy have?!
Jiang Xun held the Soul Returning Pill in his mouth, wrapped it in Spirit Power, and swallowed it.
If he couldn't withstand the heavenly lightning later, he would disperse the Spirit Power wrapping the Soul Returning Pill, effectively consuming it.
Even if he were struck dead, he could still come back to life.
"Jiang Xun!"
Yin Ningyu, who had followed the heavenly lightning to find him, shouted at Jiang Xun from not far away.
Her eyes were full of worry and heartache.
After all, Jiang Xun's clothes were now shredded into rags, his white hair was curled, and his entire body was oozing blood; he looked utterly miserable.
"Stay back."
Jiang Xun shouted at Yin Ningyu.
At the same time, the final Heavenly Tribulation descended from the sky with great momentum and immense power, completely incomparable to the previous ones.
With a loud boom, the Heavenly Tribulation smashed toward Jiang Xun's head.
"Go to hell!"
Jiang Xun shouted at the sky; eight layers of Black Shield surrounded him but were instantly shattered, and the Liu Hong Sword and Soul-Suppressing Sword he held up were also sent flying.
Jiang Xun immediately used his Black Feather Wing to wrap around himself for defense.
After barely resisting the heavenly lightning for five seconds, the Black Feather Wing was also shattered.
The ninth heavenly lightning bolt, having been weakened multiple times, slammed into Jiang Xun.
Yin Ningyu then heard Jiang Xun's incredibly miserable scream.
She immediately covered her mouth to keep herself from crying out and disturbing Jiang Xun.
A moment later, the Heavenly Tribulation slowly vanished; Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun, who was now motionless, half-kneeling on the ground, his entire body turned to charcoal, and two tear tracks traced down from her eyes.
Yet she then saw the charcoal emitting a faint glow.
Subsequently, Jiang Xun's body began to reconstruct; his skeleton, internal organs, meridians, blood vessels, and skin tissue slowly emerged.
Jiang Xun also slowly stood up.
His entire body regained its color, and the black substance on him drifted away like dust in the wind, revealing fair, tender skin.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes, which radiated an unusual light; his nose bridge was high and straight, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
With a shake of his head, the charred black on his hair was shaken off completely.
His long white hair cascaded down like a galaxy.
"Jiang Xun!"
Seeing this, Yin Ningyu immediately ran over, clutching Jiang Xun's hands tightly as she looked at him.
At this moment, Jiang Xun was just as handsome and unrestrained as when she and Jiang Xun first met five hundred years ago, only his black hair had been replaced by white, making the youth appear even more stunning.
"It's alright now."
Jiang Xun said softly.
His voice had also returned to that of a young man.
Now, he looked exactly like a youth of about twenty-three years old.
He had also successfully reached the Transformation Spirit Initial Stage.
"You scared me to death!"
Yin Ningyu said coquettishly as she looked at Jiang Xun.
"Have Zhang Yaozhi and Liu Chennian both been dealt with?" Jiang Xun asked with a smile.
Yin Ningyu, however, was stunned; this smile was simply too charming, and for a moment, Yin Ningyu was lost in a trance.
Jiang Xun only then realized that after becoming young again, this Natural Charm Bone had an even greater influence on women.
"It, it has all been taken care of." Yin Ningyu only reacted after Jiang Xun waved his hand in front of her.
"Then we must hurry to Zhong Lingqing's side; she just sent a message saying Chen Mo has escaped, and we must give chase immediately." Jiang Xun gently pushed away Yin Ningyu's hand and took out a set of clothes.
Right now, he was stark naked.
Seeing this, Yin Ningyu hurriedly helped Jiang Xun put on his clothes.
If it weren't for the fact that the surroundings were in a complete mess and no one was passing by, one might have thought the two of them had just finished doing the deed.
After Jiang Xun put on a black narrow-sleeved long robe, cinched his waist with a black and white belt, and donned a black silk outer robe with silver lining, his broad shoulders and narrow waist, combined with his white hair tied in a high ponytail, caused his aura as a noble young master to rise sharply.
At this moment, all that was missing was a fan for showing off.
It was just a pity that the Panlong Golden Feather Fan was currently being nurtured inside the cave dwelling.
"Tsk... truly good-looking."
Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun's attire and couldn't help but say.
Her favorability rating also shot up, flying straight to one hundred.
As expected, her taste was indeed excellent!
"There will be plenty of time to look later; let's go."
Jiang Xun put away the Liu Hong Sword and the Soul-Suppressing 【Blade】, wrapped an arm around Yin Ningyu's slender waist, spread his Crimson Wings, and soared into the air, flying at extreme speed in the direction Zhong Lingqing had previously said she was pursuing.
Feeling the surrounding scenery changing at an extreme speed, Yin Ningyu hugged Jiang Xun's neck tightly, not daring to let go.
This is too fast, isn't it!?
"Did you use the Soul Returning Pill?"
Si Yuyan asked.
"I didn't use it." Jiang Xun shook his head; Jiang Xun had indeed released the Spirit Power wrapping the Soul Returning Pill earlier, but the Soul Returning Pill had not taken effect; it had merely restored all of Jiang Xun's Spirit Power.
Because Jiang Xun had not been struck to death by the Heavenly Tribulation.
He had endured the Heavenly Tribulation himself.
"That's good then." Si Yuyan nodded: "If you used a Soul Returning Pill every time you underwent Tribulation Transcendence, then with your lousy aptitude, you wouldn't need to cultivate at all."
Because Zhong Lingqing was currently like a headless fly, not knowing which way to pursue, and her speed was not fast at this moment, she was quickly caught up to by Jiang Xun.
Seeing Jiang Xun suddenly appear beside her, Zhong Lingqing was stunned right there in mid-air.
If it weren't for the Crimson Wings on Jiang Xun's back and Yin Ningyu in his arms, she truly wouldn't have dared to recognize this person as Jiang Xun!
"What's wrong? Was I so handsome it stunned you?"
Jiang Xun looked at Zhong Lingqing's expression, which was as if she had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but laugh.
"No wonder, no wonder my Ning Yu was willing to die just to see you before; tsk tsk, I really didn't expect it, you actually have quite a bit of charm."
After Zhong Lingqing recovered, she clicked her tongue and said.
