Chapter 380: Empress Shen, you have countless troops and horses, please cash out!

At the same time, above the Wilderness, the thunderclouds were still accelerating and gathering.

Amid the lightning twisting and coiling within the thick, earth-like cloud layer, the thunderclouds were rendered like a purple-black ocean.

The lightning sparkled, seizing hearts and souls.

Even Si Lingling and the Heavenly God Tribe were suppressed to the point of barely catching their breath.

The native wilderness beasts all trembled and crawled on the ground.

Duke Yu Jia grew solemn, "A Li, this Wilderness Thunder Tribulation doesn't feel right."

"I also think it's not right; this isn't a tribulation, it's heavenly wrath, right?" Shen Qinghuang was shocked too!

Is this a proper tribulation? The purpose of a tribulation is usually to temper and strengthen those who undergo it!

But this tribulation seems aimed at destroying my little sister, right?

No, that's not right.

It's not just about destroying my little sister.

This is about sweeping up the entire Wilderness, including these people and all living beings, in one fell swoop!

"Uncle, hurry and leave this place with us!" the cries of the two Ji Tribe women also confirmed that Shen Qinghuang's perception was correct.

Si Lingling had also furrowed her brows, and the two youths beside her urged, "Miss Ling, let's go quickly! This place is likely about to be destroyed."

Although regrettable, they were powerless to stop it.

The still‑gathering thunderclouds were becoming ever more suffocating!

"Wait a little longer."

Si Lingling threw a thunder talisman, trying to merge with the thunderclouds to ease the pressure.

The effect existed but was not obvious! The two Si Tribe youths' faces turned pale, and cold sweat poured forth.

The two Ji Tribe members could barely endure it either, but Ji Zhongwen didn't move; they were unwilling and also dared not leave!

Their most important mission on this journey was originally to protect Ji Zhongwen.

If Ji Zhongwen meets disaster, returning would be useless for them.

At this moment, Ji Zhongwen spoke, but he was addressing Shen Qingli.

"Follow me out; as long as we leave this place, the Wilderness Thunder Tribulation will not descend upon the Three Pure Heavens."

Ji Zhongwen obviously also felt that Shen Qingli could not withstand this wave of tribulation—not even a single strike!

"Too overbearing!" Ji Zhongwen asked himself, even he could not emerge unscathed from a single tribulation strike.

Therefore, even if Shen Qingli possessed the Pan‑Zu Pupil, she could no longer preserve herself from this Wilderness Thunder Tribulation.

The best solution! Of course, it's to withdraw.

"Little sister, forget it."

Shen Qinghuang also began to persuade.

Growing stronger is certainly important!

But he needs Shen Qingli to be able to survive.

"You all go."

Shen Qingli's mind was already made up.

"You're crazy!"

The two Ji Tribe women shouted in unison.

Because they themselves knew they could not persuade Ji Zhongwen to leave, they could only vent their anger at Shen Qingli.

Anyway, their intentions were good; even if Uncle thought their words harsh, he would not blame them.

"Do you have no idea of your own cultivation level?"

"A mere false god, you haven't even touched the threshold of the Dao—what gives you the confidence to think you can?"

"Exactly! I advise you not to choose this moment to die, dragging our uncle down with you!"

The two women were also fuming! Because this tribulation's lightning is visibly about to strike down!

If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave at all!

But Shen Qingli completely ignored them!

She had even closed her eyes, entering a state of sudden enlightenment.

This was to wholeheartedly receive this grand‑to‑terrifying Wilderness Thunder Tribulation!

"Damn it!"

The two Ji Tribe women were furious!

One of them even suddenly flashed out!

In the blink of an eye she arrived before Shen Qingli, trying to violently drag her away!

The result—"Ah‑cho!"

The Nine Li Yi Jio perched on Shen Qingli's shoulder kicked out.

The Ji Tribe woman, however, was on guard, quickly dodging while still reaching with one hand to grab Shen Qingli's other arm.

She thought, feigning east while striking west, this would surely succeed!

Unfortunately, before her hand could touch Shen Qingli, she burst into tears.

Yu Jia gave a quick peck with her beak!

"Crack!"

The Ji Tribe woman's hand‑back bone shattered directly, the pain uncontainable.

The pain made her howl miserably; her face turned ashen as paper, feeling as if her whole arm was ruined.

Ji Zhongwen furrowed his brows, "Step back, do not be rude."

But,

Step back!

Ji Zhongwen's voice grew heavier.

The Ji clan woman, though still resentful, dared not defy again and had to retreat.

But her arm hurt more and more, feeling as if even her breastbone ached……

Only while treating her injuries did she discover that cracks ran through her entire skeleton!

The bones on the side of her torso where she struck were nearly shattered! Still unable to heal, she finally panicked and tried to call for help.

However, no one would pay her any attention anymore.

Mainly, no one could hear what she was saying anymore.

Boom—

The first Primordial lightning bolt has already shaken heaven and earth!

Bang!

The lightning struck as if hitting extremely hard metal and stone.

It blasted Shen Qingli's whole body to glow with golden light.

This moment……

One person, three beasts, one 'egg'.

Not a single one made a sound; they all endured this wave of lightning storm head‑on.

And that egg, naturally, showed signs of atavism—the 'reforged' Xiao Bai.

They are all Shen Qingli's guardian beasts; when she decides to withstand it head‑on, they naturally will unconditionally support her.

Yu Jia also reminded not to forget Xiao Bai; it knows full well! If they truly can withstand it, their strength will surely leap forward.

At least it itself can definitely do it! So, actually, from its own perspective, it is ten thousand willing for Shen Qingli to bravely undergo the tribulation.

But it also knows that Shen Qingli is different from it; it was born a living being in the primordial chaos era, its tiny frame is actually harder than any being present! It fears no Primordial lightning tribulation.

This moment……

Outside the scene, Shen Qinghuang's heart leapt up to his throat.

He, whose body constantly emitted fire, was actually already exerting all his strength to resist the aftermath of the lightning tribulation.

Even so, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Other youths of the Si and Ji clans likewise spat blood one after another.

The one previously pecked by Yu Jia was even more directly severely wounded, near death.

Howl—

Above the Primordial, mournful cries filled the wilderness.

Only Ji Zhongwen remained unchanged.

He was closely watching Shen Qingli! Yet he couldn't see at all.

The purple‑black giant lightning tempered Shen Qingli; he couldn't even probe with his divine sense.

Pfft!

Jiu Ying still was the first to spit blood.

As soon as the nine mouthfuls of fresh blood came out, he really wanted to lick them back—it was such a waste.

How many people must he eat to make up for it!

His master still forbids him from eating……

Howl!

Jiu Li also let out a young cry.

It really hurts! I couldn't hold back.

And Shen Qingli also let out a muffled groan.

Wah!

A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted from her mouth.

Her breath and vitality rapidly waned in that instant.

Shen Qinghuang's face changed, 'Little sister!'

But Shen Qingli raised a hand to stop the approaching Shen Qinghuang, lest he be directly struck to ashes by the lightning tribulation.

'It's fine.' Shen Qingli spoke weakly, her life force constantly tugging between extinction and rebirth, evolving.

Finally, the thunder completely dispersed,

Shen Qingli's entire body glowed with pure yellow light.

This is the unique aura and tempering sheen of the Primordial lightning tribulation.

Primordial Nine Lightning.

The first three are for tempering the flesh; if you withstand them, you can surely advance to the Profound Clarity Realm.

'Profound Clarity' means achieving the Profound Heaven Dao Body, where flesh and Dao unite; thereafter, even if you don't cultivate, the Dao Body will autonomously absorb the Three Pure spiritual energy and cultivate on its own.

Yu Jia explained in detail, so that Shen Qingli would understand the higher realms of the Three Pure Heavens, and also so she would know what to expect from the forthcoming tempering.

Shen Qingli also interjected, 'In other words, I won't need to switch cultivation methods later and can directly draw spiritual energy from the Three Pure Stone? Like my father and the others—if they too could reach the Profound Clarity Realm, they wouldn't be shackled by cultivation.'

'Yes.' Yu Jia nodded.

Shen Qingli felt much more relieved, and at once swallowed a medicinal pill to quickly heal her injuries.

The advantage of time in the Primordial Spirit Realm lets her stockpile Primordial Spirit Pills whenever she has a moment, for emergencies.

The effect of the Primordial Spirit Pill is immediate! When the second lightning tribulation descended, Shen Qingli had already recovered to peak condition.

Ji Zhongwen also showed a look of surprise; he also didn't waste any more words, just stood there, both to protect Shen Qingli's Dharma and to let himself feel the rules of the Primordial Lightning Tribulation.

Bi Lingling then stared at Shen Qingli in disbelief, "... He actually endured it; it looks like he might really be able to withstand the three preceding Flesh-Dao Union Tribulations."

Ji Zhongwen's eyesight is truly not ordinary.

Could it be that his specialness lies in his ability to read people?

Bi Lingling couldn't know, but she had almost completely given up on seizing the Pan Ancestor's Pupil.

First, his strength is insufficient;

Second, Shen Qingli's potential is truly unimaginable!

She is considering whether to let the cautious members of the clan reconsider their attitude toward Shen Qingli.

After all, Shen Qingli not only has good talent herself, but behind her actually stands the Tianqing Old Ancestor.

At this moment, the Tianqing Old Ancestor could no longer sit still, he came to the Old Green Ox's side, "Can you feel it?"

"Moo?" the Old Green Ox didn't understand; it only wanted to ask when the red-and-green floral jacket on its body could be taken off, so ugly! It couldn't at all display its venerable old ox image.

The Tianqing Old Ancestor, as if he hadn't heard its greeting, stared into the void, as if through the void he saw something: "Little A Li seems about to unite with the Dao and enter the Mysterious Clarity Realm."

"Moo..." the Old Green Ox was speechless; then it wouldn't have to often carry that little girl? No, it's not unwilling, but this floral jacket just won't come off.

"So fast, then I shouldn't have to have the lads organize quickly, no need to hide and endure anymore." The Tianqing Old Ancestor also witnessed the moment Shen Qingli sent a challenge to the Heaven Fighting Mother, clearly realizing she would need many hands.

Challenge the Heavenly God Clan!

It's not that easy to rely solely on Shen Qingli's strength!

She could directly go and single-handedly challenge the Heaven Fighting Mother and take her place.

Every member of the Heavenly God Clan is a colossal entity that has existed for hundreds of millions of years!

Wanting to overthrow them is not that simple! Even if the He Clan's strength is waning, as long as they are willing, they could sweep aside the False God Realm! Sheng Long Tian, let the beings of these two realms be reorganized.

The False God Realm's Great Catastrophe is none other than the bloody method by which the Heavenly God Clan of the Three Pure Heavens harvests spiritual energy and maintains the surface prosperity of the Three Pure Heavens.

The Heavenly God Clan, all are butchers with hands stained with blood!

Not only harvesting the next generation, on the Three Pure Heavens anyone who appears with extraordinary talent and outstanding spirit will be plundered.

"It's time to openly counterattack." The Tianqing Old Ancestor stroked the Old Green Ox's horns, "It's time for the children to meet their Empress Li."
