"That demon king is doomed!"
The people in the distance, watching the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning descend, immediately felt a sense of relief.
The Demon King is currently dealing with thunder and fire, as well as wind disasters. How can he possibly withstand this Purple Firmament Divine Lightning? He's doomed!
"That's good. With a demon king dead, we can now do what we can do."
The crowd watching from afar began to speak, as if the Demon King was doomed.
At this moment, seeing the purple lightning tribulation descend, Su Mu felt a surge of panic. He felt that with this Heavenly Tribulation, the Demon King would truly perish!
"Stop!"
As Su Mu watched the purple divine lightning about to strike the Demon King's head, his heart skipped a beat and he instinctively cried out.
As soon as the voice fell, the crowd, who had already taken out their communication talismans to spread the news of the Demon King's demise, witnessed a bizarre scene.
The Purple Firmament Divine Lightning strangely stopped above the Demon King's head. If it had landed even an inch further, the terrifying power of the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning would have shattered the Demon King's body into pieces.
However, it was this mere inch that saved the Demon King's life.
Yu Guyue opened her eyes with difficulty, her eyes filled with exhaustion. She looked at the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning above her head, and then glanced with difficulty in Su Mu's direction.
It seems... Su Mu saved her?
Su Mu was stunned as he stared at the now-stagnant Purple Firmament Divine Lightning. What was going on? Words becoming law? He had such power? How was that possible!?
Just as Su Mu was filled with anxiety and didn't know what to do, a booming sound rang out above the tribulation clouds.
The booming sound reached Su Mu's ears, and inexplicably made Su Mu understand its meaning. "Should we help this demon Tribulation Transcendence?"
"Yes!"
Su Mu glanced at Yu Guyue, then gritted his teeth and nodded.
Boom!
As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, the distant thunder and fire and the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning instantly changed direction and rushed straight towards Su Mu.
A Gang Wind suddenly appeared around Su Mu Su Mu and swept towards him.
"I!!!"
The lightning tribulation arrived too quickly; Su Mu had only managed to utter a single word before it had already entered his body.
"Huh, seems everything's alright?"
Su Mu had initially thought that if the Heavenly Tribulation came at him, he would be instantly annihilated. However, these lightning bolts seemed to pass right through him, as if they couldn't hit him at all.
But when Su Mu examined it closely, her entire face immediately became somewhat distorted.
"No, don't do this!"
At this moment, within Su Mu's sea of consciousness, the cyan Dao Lotus was slowly rotating, but the Heavenly Tribulation disregarded it and suddenly slashed fiercely at the cyan Dao Lotus.
With each slash, the Dao Lotus petals begin to slowly close.
In just a moment, one of the Dao Lotus petals was already half-closed!
Su Mu was jumping up and down in frustration. He didn't even know how the Dao Lotus opened, but now he was watching Dao Lotus begin to close. How could he not be anxious? If it closed completely, his most powerful and only means of self-protection would be gone!
Su Mu cried out anxiously, hoping that the Heavenly Tribulation would show some mercy and stop striking.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation showed no mercy, not only striking even more fiercely, but also adding many more heavenly Heavenly Tribulation.
Su Mu watched helplessly as the Heavenly Tribulation surged in, causing the three Dao Lotus he possessed to shrink continuously, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
"What just happened?"
In the distance, the crowd, who had all taken out their communication talismans, stared intently at the Demon King's Tribulation Transcendence zone, their mouths agape.
If they heard correctly, that soul entity seemed to have shouted something, and then the purple divine lightning stopped, right? And then the Heavenly Tribulation all went to strike this guy?
The key question is, how come this soul is so vigorous? It has endured so many Heavenly Tribulation and is completely unharmed!
That fragmented soul, couldn't it be killed with a simple poke?
"I don't know. I only saw that the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to obey that soul entity, and Heavenly Tribulation was completely absorbed by it."
The others were also completely stunned, feeling as if their centuries-old belief in immortality had utterly collapsed.
Who is this powerful being who has descended to the mortal realm?
At this moment, even the eldest princess beside Su Mu stared wide-eyed at Su Mu, wondering where the Heavenly Tribulation had gone after Su Mu absorbed it.
There was not a trace of fluctuation in the other party's remnant soul.
How did he do that?
Su Mu absorbed the Heavenly Tribulation tribulation for a full half hour, and when the last heavenly Heavenly Tribulation was absorbed, only one petal of the Dao Lotus remained open.
Seeing this, Su Mu was on the verge of tears. What a joke! This was her only chance?!
His Dao Lotus! Now only a single, lonely petal remains!
No wonder that remnant Divine Sense in the High Antiquity ruins said that cultivators are highly respected; who wouldn't want to curry favor with someone who has that ability!
The problem is, what if he encounters a formidable opponent in his current state?
I finally felt like I had some ability to protect myself, and then he pulled this trick on me!
In the distance, the calamity clouds had dispersed, but then rosy light shone through the clouds, gradually healing the severely injured Nine-Tailed Fox.
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox's gaze was completely fixed on Su Mu, as if she wanted to remember Su Mu firmly in her heart.
"Could it be that I met the Dao Ancestor today? Oh well, I'd better leave!"
The crowd in the distance, seeing that the Heavenly Tribulation had passed and that the Nine-Tailed Fox had actually succeeded in Tribulation Transcendence, immediately fled, wanting to befriend Su Mu.
However, their motives for coming here were impure, so they should leave quickly and find another opportunity to contact Su Mu later.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Nine-Tailed Fox's injuries were healed, and judging from her condition, her cultivation level seemed to have improved as well.
The Nine-Tailed Fox transformed into human form, her bare white jade feet treading through the void, and arrived in front of Su Mu.
Her phoenix eyes swept over Su Mu, and she smiled, her beauty instantly captivating. "Young master, your kindness is immeasurable, I have no way to repay you except..."
"You're not going to say you'd be my slave in the next life, are you? That's just because you look down on me."
Su Mu was a little annoyed. Without waiting for the other person to finish speaking, he interrupted them, saying, "Two petals of the Dao Lotus! It breaks my heart!"
"How could that be? If you don't mind, young master, I'm willing to offer myself as your bedmate!"
Yu Guyue's breath was fragrant, her phoenix eyes sparkled, captivating all who saw them, and her slightly pink tongue gently licked her red lips.
Such a posture would be unbearable for any man.
Su Mu was the same, inwardly exclaiming, "Wow, you're really something!" But before he could reply, Yu Guyue's phoenix eyes flashed, "The problem is, judging from your current state, young master, it doesn't seem right."
Holy crap!!!
Su Mu nearly lost his temper upon hearing such insulting words.
Unfortunately, Su Mu glanced at his own soul form and felt like crying.
It's a complete disaster; we lost so much and gained absolutely nothing!
I doubt anyone would criticize the author for suddenly improving their writing style when writing the later parts of the story!
