Lan Hua's sudden appearance caused the lightning tribulation to strike them even more violently. But this was only a Golden Immortal's Heavenly Tribulation. To a former Celestial Emperor like Lan Hua, this did not affect him at all. Instead, he helped Xuan Tong block a lot of the lightning tribulation.
He sat cross-legged behind Xuan Tong, demonic Qi surging around his body. His divine perception was just about to draw out the demonic Qi from her body when Xuan Tong sealed her five senses, subconsciously preventing the foreign aura from approaching.
"Good Heart asked me to save you," Lan Hua explained. Then, after some thought, he added, "It was your sect master!"
Xuan Tong hesitated, then gave up resisting and allowed his divine perception to enter her body.
A moment later, Lan Hua found the source of her demonic Qi. He was slightly shocked.
"Eh?" Why was there the aura of a demonic seed in her body?
He did not think too much about it. He tried his best to draw out the demonic Qi from her body. Although she was cooperating with him, the lightning tribulation would strike from time to time. Her speed was not very fast.
But the remaining demonic Qi in Xuan Tong's body was indeed decreasing. They did not know if it was an illusion, but as the demonic Qi disappeared, Xuan Tong's immortal bones were growing faster.
An hour later.
Lan Hua finally drew out the last bit of demonic Qi from her body. He stood up and left the area of the Heavenly Tribulation.
"It's done." He looked at Shen Ying and said, "The demonic Qi in her primordial spirit has been cleared. She just needs to endure the last few bolts of lightning and she will be able to form her immortal bones."
"Thank you, Celestial Emperor Lan Hua." Chengyu stepped forward and bowed. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief. Xuan Tong had been brought up by her. Naturally, she was more nervous than anyone else.
As the sect master, Shen Ying felt that she should express her gratitude. "Elder Lan …"
"Don't speak!" Lan Hua immediately interrupted. "Please, every time you speak, I want to give you something!" He did not want to be left with only his underwear.
Shen Ying: "…"
Chengyu: "…"
Everyone: "…"
"The lightning tribulation is ending soon!" Lonemoon reminded them.
Everyone turned to look. Indeed, the immortal Qi around Xuan Tong was getting thicker and thicker. The lightning tribulation was getting stronger and stronger. Even the array that Lonemoon had specially set up was showing signs of loosening. Lightning was faintly shining from the outside.
"Celestial Emperor Chu Xuan, help me!" Lonemoon turned to Chu Xuan as he rearranged the array.
Chu Xuan was straightforward. He and Lonemoon set up the array, one on the left and one on the right. Waves of magical light flashed before his eyes, once again blocking the remaining might of the Heavenly Lightning outside.
At this time, 79 bolts of lightning had struck down, and there were only two left. Perhaps it was because Lan Hua had helped her block a portion of the Heavenly Lightning, but Xuan Tong was in a pretty good state. Two of the strongest Golden Immortal Heavenly Lightning bolts came crashing down on her, but she managed to withstand it.
Even though his entire body had been burnt to a crisp and he was lying on the ground on his last breath, his immortal bones had already grown back. In fact, because he had transcended the tribulation, the immortal energy around him was slightly denser than other body cultivators of the same cultivation level.
"It's fine now." Qi Chengyu heaved a long sigh of relief and exited the array formation. She walked over, her voice tinged with joy. "Little Tong, you …"
"Little Yu, don't go over there!" She was just about to exit the array formation when Feng Ying suddenly pulled her back.
The next moment, a bolt of Heavenly Fire descended from the sky at a speed faster than the Heavenly Lightning. It struck the heavily injured Xuan Tong on the ground. The system notification on Feng Ying's body also ended.
[Danger warning! Detected a high heat energy object approaching!]
In less than two breaths' time, the entire Protective Mountain Array was engulfed in a sea of fire. The entire Invincible Sect was dyed crimson.
"Wildfire!" Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is this possible!"
Why did the Wildfire appear? Although an immortal's advancement would produce 36 bolts of Wildfire, Xuan Tong was only an immortal. Moreover, she was the lowest level Earth Immortal. The bit of immortal Qi in her body could not possibly attract the Wildfire. What's more, the demonic Qi in her body had been cleared. She was now a real immortal. The last few bolts of lightning could be attributed to the fact that the Heavenly Tribulation had been triggered and she had to endure it. But what was with the Wildfire?
Xuan Tong's figure was no longer in the flames. Even her weak aura could not be felt.
"Little Tong!" Qi Chengyu cried out. She was about to rush in to save her when Feng Ying held her back.
"Wait, Little Yu. If you go in, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will double. You're only a Golden Immortal. You won't be able to withstand it. "
"But Xuan Tong …" If this goes on, she will die! She looked anxious. Seeing that the next bolt of Wildfire was about to descend, she turned to look at the person behind her. "Elder Lonemoon, what exactly …"
Lonemoon looked confused as well. "I don't know either … Eh? Where's Shen Ying? "
Only then did everyone realize that Shen Ying, who had been standing beside them, had disappeared.
"…"
— — —
At that moment, in the heart of the Wildfire …
Shen Ying helped up the charcoal that no longer looked human. She patted its face and said, "Hey, Shortie, are you still alive?"
After a while, that piece of charcoal finally glanced at her. It seemed to have used all the strength in its body to move its fingers, and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes. "God …" In the next moment, its hand fell, and there was no more movement.
"Shortie! Shortie! "
"…" Xuan Tong did not respond at all.
Shen Ying frowned. In the next moment, there was a whirring sound above their heads. A huge red fireball descended from the sky and smashed directly in their direction. It carried with it a pressure that could destroy heaven and earth. The scorching heat caused everything on the ground to ignite before it even hit the ground.
It looked like it was about to hit the two of them.
Shen Ying's expression turned cold. The anger in her heart rose. She carried the person on the ground and stood up. Lifting her leg, she kicked the fireball back like she was kicking a ball. "Get lost!" You're blind. You're throwing fire at me.
With a swoosh, the Heavenly Fire flew back into the sky at a speed ten times faster than when it had landed. It burrowed into the clouds.
The next moment, there was a loud rumble. It was as if something had exploded in the sky. The thunderclouds that had yet to disperse were instantly ignited like flammable explosives. The sky was suddenly lit up with a sea of fire, turning the entire world red.
Shen Ying turned to look at the sea of fire around her. Her eyes narrowed.
In an instant, the surrounding flames seemed to shrink. The Prairie Fire surrounding the two of them retreated, revealing a path.
Only then did she turn around and walk away with the charred body in her arms. After a while, she changed her direction and walked back to the Mountain Guarding Formation that was not far away.
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
The two emperors: "…"
The couple: "…"
Speaking of which … what exactly happened inside just now? Why did the sky suddenly catch fire? Why did the fire on the ground suddenly extinguish? And could the Heavenly Tribulation be interrupted midway?
Shen Ying placed Xuan Tong on the ground and waved at Chu Xuan. "Chicken, come and take a look!"
Chu Xuan trembled. Then, he reacted. "Chicken is here!"
He hurried over and performed an incantation gesture to cast a Heart Protection Incantation on the man on the ground, protecting his heart and meridians. Then, he used his Immortal Qi to examine him carefully. However, the more he examined, the deeper his frown became. He looked hesitantly at the crowd, and only after a long moment did he speak.
"Exalted … Exalted Goddess! When her immortal bones were formed, she was already at the end of her rope. She was just hanging on to her last breath. " He sighed. He admired this lady's perseverance. "She could have recovered by just regulating her breathing. But … she was hit by the Prairie Fire. Moreover, she was not prepared and the deviant fire entered her body. Now that the Prairie Fire has invaded her heart meridians, and she has a water spirit root. Water and fire do not mix. She cannot regulate her own breathing … "
"The result?"
Chu Xuan shook his head and continued, "Her meridians are all broken. Her foundation is destroyed. Her immortal bones are broken. Even her primordial spirit has been corroded by the Prairie Fire. It will be very difficult for her to recover. And even if she recovers, I'm afraid … her cultivation will be destroyed. "
