Yunxi seized the chance to grab a handful of pills and stuff them into her mouth. She lay prone on the ground, waiting for the medicine to take effect, carefully inhaling and exhaling to ease the double agony wracking both her divine soul and flesh.
She was in a miserable state. Her dharma robe had been almost completely destroyed by the Thunder Tribulation, leaving her nearly naked. The exposed skin was charred black, and beneath her, a pool of blood had formed. Blood still seeped from her cracked, blackened skin. Her hands, black as chicken claws, were nearly embedded in the ground, while her body trembled without cease, as though that was the only way to dull the pain.
Yunxi's almond eyes flickered uncertainly. With great effort, she raised her head to look at the sky. She would not admit defeat. She had to ascend to the Immortal Realm. She had to uncover why she had transmigrated, as well as the connection between herself, Huajian, and the Evil God. Only those in the Divine Realm could answer those questions for her.
The final wave of nine Thunder Tribulations took a rather long time to gather, but the rumbling thunder carried far into the distance. Then, Thunder Tribulations as thick as water buckets came crashing down in an instant. Yet this time, ten tribulation bolts struck in rapid succession, and the last one was still Soul Thunder.
Yunxi's pupils contracted. The Seven-Star Deadly Staff forcefully absorbed the power of six advancement tribulation bolts, and the Heavenly Dao seemed to sense that it had been provoked. The seventh bolt directly blasted the Seven-Star Deadly Staff away, while the remaining three, the most powerful tribulation bolts, struck Yunxi without pause.
The little Nascent Soul within Yunxi's Dantian also struggled to open her eyes.
