Chapter 1540 - 1387: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 84
Nie Shuangshuang is different from ordinary cultivators. For her, raising her cultivation level is merely a matter of thought. Although it hasn’t been long since she ascended to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, she has already accumulated enough Spiritual Energy to advance to Loose Immortal.
So everyone just watched in disbelief as Nie Shuangshuang announced her intention to leave for the Unreturning Peaks, her aura suddenly rising as the heavens changed color, and the Heavenly Tribulation arrived in an instant!
Everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths agape, staring at Nie Shuangshuang who had already begun facing the Heavenly Tribulation, rising into the air.
What is happening!?
Is becoming a Loose Immortal that easy!?
Nie Shuangshuang’s Loose Immortal Heavenly Tribulation was truly imposing. Initially, everything seemed normal, but then Blood Demons actively rushed in to disrupt her tribulation.
Their intentions were plainly obvious. During the tribulation, if a Blood Demon of the same Transcendance Tribulation Stage breaks in, the tribulation’s intensity will increase immediately, aiming to make Nie Shuangshuang fail and perish.
Everyone immediately went on full alert, slaying the Blood Demons without affecting Nie Shuangshuang’s tribulation. But these Blood Demons were formidable—there were even two at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
This was truly a grand move. The Heavenly Tribulation is extremely harmful to Blood Demons; a single strike could kill a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Blood Demon, meaning these two demons came for a suicidal assault.
Even if the ancient arrays bred countless Blood Demons, not all could ascend indefinitely in level, and those reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage were even fewer. Blood Demons advance extremely slowly.
Transcendance Tribulation Stage Blood Demons are surely precious, yet they were willing to use them to extinguish Nie Shuangshuang. It showed how wary they were of her.
These Blood Demons were intent on creating chaos for Nie Shuangshuang, attacking one after another, and for a moment, people could not hold them back, letting one Blood Demon at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage break through.
While facing the Heavenly Tribulation, Nie Shuangshuang suddenly felt the tribulation clouds above her head double in size, the tribulation’s power instantly increased, with over a dozen massive Thunder Dragons swirling in the clouds, then charging at her one after another.
In that instant, the entire Unreturning Peaks was enveloped by the Heavenly Tribulation, the momentum terrifying, as if it would flatten the entire mountain.
If it were a regular Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator facing such a formidable tribulation, death would be certain. Nie Shuangshuang sneered; would she fear an intensified tribulation? With a wave of her hand, the descending Thunder Dragons scattered.
Under Nie Shuangshuang’s control, these Thunder Dragons bypassed those below fighting the Blood Demons and fell upon the dense crowds of approaching Blood Demons, vaporizing swathes in an instant.
The celestial tribulation rained down upon Nie Shuangshuang, and at her command, continued to fall upon the Blood Demons. From high above, she could see far and wide.
She could see that elsewhere, many Six-winged Golden Light Roars were battling Blood Demons, and even saw a large fissure by the central lake of the Unreturning Peaks, from which Blood Demons endlessly emerged.
This giant fissure was the torn seal, beneath which lay the Ancient Battlefield, and countless Blood Demons surged forth from here.
The clan of Six-winged Golden Light Roars, with the strongest cultivation, guarded this place, among them two at the Loose Immortal level.
But there are too many Blood Demons, endless and relentless. Though Six-winged Golden Light Roars are Holy Beasts, they cannot fight without rest; there must be times to recuperate.
Gaps would appear during rotations of rest, so Blood Demons continuously escaped the blockade of Six-winged Golden Light Roars, dispersing into other regions of the Unreturning Peaks.
Nie Shuangshuang sneered again, wanting her tribulation to intensify, then let it be as they wished. With a swift move, she flew to the fissure on the lake’s surface.
The Six-winged Golden Light Roars there, seeing Nie Shuangshuang’s arrival, immediately stopped fighting and fled, no joke; if they didn’t run, they’d have to face the Heavenly Tribulation too. They didn’t want to be struck; their fur would scorch.
Heads could be broken, blood could flow, but fur must not be scorched! This is the dignity of a Six-winged Golden Light Roar!
At this moment, the tribulation cloud above Nie Shuangshuang had turned pitch black, pressing down on her head as if it would fall the next moment.
The Thunder Dragons surging in the pitch-black tribulation cloud had morphed into blue and white Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, their destructive power at the strength of a True Immortal’s ascension. Yet Nie Shuangshuang remained unfazed, allowing the tribulation to intensify.
The Thunder Dragons came charging, falling on Nie Shuangshuang one by one.
The massive Thunder Dragons illuminated the Unreturning Peaks as bright as day. Nie Shuangshuang was entirely enveloped in the blinding white light emitted by the Thunder Dragons, obscuring whether she lived or died.
The people below looked up at Nie Shuangshuang amidst the tribulation, heavy-hearted. Such a powerful tribulation simply could not be overcome by an ordinary person.
For a moment, everyone’s hearts were filled with sadness and anger—sadness for the cultivation world’s loss of a strong combat force in such calamity, anger at the despicable Blood Demons using this method to harm others.
Just as everyone thought Nie Shuangshuang was doomed, they noticed that after the Thunder Dragons struck her, they followed her guidance into the fissure on the lake’s surface!
The Thunder Dragons fell directly into the fissure’s depths, accompanied by a burst of white light, and within it, came the screeching wails of Blood Demons.
Worried about damaging the seal, Nie Shuangshuang sent her Divine Sense into the fissure, seeing the seemingly endless swarm of Blood Demons inside, she directly instructed the Thunder Dragons to avoid the surrounding seal and strike the Blood Demon hordes.
Every descent of a Thunder Dragon cleared out a vast area of Blood Demons, including some with strong auras.
The Blood Demons below weren’t foolish. Initially, they didn’t even dodge, with some strong-aura Blood Demons continuously lunging at Nie Shuangshuang, trying to further intensify her tribulation.
Unfortunately, no matter how many cultivators of the same level endured the tribulation together, it would only grow one and a half times stronger. No matter how many more, it could only expand the tribulation’s area.
Because a tribulation one and a half times stronger is sufficient to kill the crossing cultivator; it’s the kindness of heaven to not increase it further, leaving a sliver of hope for all life.
Thus, if one could survive such a potent tribulation without dying, it signified a fate not yet destined for death. The Heavenly Dao Rules would acknowledge your passage, granting promotion, perhaps even rewarding greater benefits to the crossing cultivator.
In essence, the Heavenly Tribulation tests a cultivator’s cultivation, helping temper the body; it’s not truly meant to kill, a high-risk, high-reward endeavor.
The more Blood Demons below creating chaos for Nie Shuangshuang, the wider the tribulation’s range, and the more Thunder Dragons she could command.
Once the Blood Demons realized this, they stopped foolishly offering weapons to Nie Shuangshuang, instead directing the low-level Blood Demons inside to evade the Thunder Dragons she commanded to strike.
These low-level Blood Demons, though not valued by high-level Blood Demons, were their best cannon fodder and crucial tools for restraining the Six-winged Golden Light Roar clan, naturally needing to avoid meaningless casualties.
