Inner Demon Tribulation
"Hey, look over there. It seems to be thunder. Maybe it'll rain soon. When the time comes, that woman's fire will be extinguished, and we'll be able to charge in. "
The demon soldiers holed up outside the range of the Vermillion Bird's nirvanic rebirth pointed at the distant lightning.
The rest of the demons also looked at the thunderclouds, and some of the more knowledgeable ones commented.
"Stop dreaming. Even a phoenix's fire can't be extinguished by ordinary lightning rain, much less a Vermillion Bird's fire."
"There's a fire that can't be extinguished by lightning rain?" said the demon soldier in astonishment. However, no one cared to pay attention to his ignorance.
"Someone's undergoing tribulation in Dragon City."
The demon soldier's words reached the higher-ups' ears. One of the Demon Sovereigns placed his hand in front of his eyes, then came to a conclusion.
"He's undergoing tribulation."
The other Demon Sovereigns nodded one after another. When Black Dragon heard that someone was undergoing tribulation, he glanced over.
His brows furrowed even deeper, and his tone grew grim.
"How long has it been? Someone's already undergoing tribulation? Brother Su, does the Four Beasts Formation have the effect of increasing the cultivations of those within it? "
After a long while, Black Dragon still didn't hear Su Yiyun's reply. When he turned around, he saw that Su Yiyun's expression was grave.
"Brother Su?"
Black Dragon patted Su Yiyun's shoulder, then came to his senses and arched his brows.
"What is it?"
"Brother Su, you've noticed the tribulation as well, haven't you?" Black Dragon pointed at the tribulation in the distance. "The person undergoing tribulation seems to be that little girl from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. When we fought earlier, she seemed to be around half-step immortal king. I didn't sense any signs of undergoing tribulation, but as soon as the Four Beasts Formation was set up, she underwent tribulation …. Is there a connection? "
If the Four Beasts Formation had the effect of increasing the cultivators' strength, then no matter what, they couldn't allow them to successfully set up the formation.
The people of the Three Realms were endowed with a natural advantage; they had the ley line to purify their spiritual energy.
If the Four Beasts Formation also had the effect of increasing one's strength and maintaining an invincible state, then the demons wouldn't be able to survive!
"Are you trying to ask me if the Four Beasts Formation has the effect of increasing one's strength?"
When Black Dragon patted him on the shoulder, Su Yiyun's gaze shifted slightly. After that, his eyes were locked onto the lightning tribulation in the distance.
"Yes."
Black Dragon nodded, but he wondered why Brother Su was so concerned about the Lightning Tribulation.
"The Four Beasts Formation doesn't have the effect of increasing one's spiritual power. She might be able to undergo the tribulation now because she suppressed her spiritual power before, just like you before. Now that she has released all of her spiritual power, it will naturally attract the lightning tribulation. "
Su Yiyun replied with a frown. Black Dragon asked, confused.
"Then why didn't I undergo tribulation?"
"You demons don't need to undergo tribulation," said Su Yiyun, still staring in the direction of the lightning tribulation. He clenched his fists on his thighs.
"So that's how it is."
The Black Dragon nodded in understanding. He didn't expect the Demon Race to have such an advantage.
In the blink of an eye, his mind was filled with confusion about Su Yiyun's current state. Why was he so worried about the tribulation of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan?
"Master Su, do you know why the Empress' Heavenly Lightning is red? Normally, Heavenly Lightning is blue and white?"
Asked one of the Demon Sovereigns. Su Yiyun answered without hesitation.
"This is Heart-Demon Lightning," said one of the Demon Sovereigns. "It's different from ordinary Heavenly Lightning. Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning attacks the heart. It doesn't have any offensive power, but it's the kind of lightning that cultivators don't want to encounter. From ancient times until now, countless heroes have fallen to Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning. "
"Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning is that powerful?"
"Even great heroes can say that they've never done anything with a clear conscience. That's not all. Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning attacks your weakest and most painful memories. Very few people can withstand this kind of attack. "
Slap.
Before the Demon Sovereigns could even finish speaking, Su Yiyun grabbed the arms of his chair with both hands.
The onlookers stared at him in astonishment. Then they saw him rise to his feet, take out several spirit stones, and flick them at the blazing Vermilion Bird.
Buzz.
His spiritual awareness radiated light, and suddenly, a cage appeared, locking Zhuge Hong inside. The waves of heat she released were isolated by the cage, unable to release any heat at all.
"Brother Su!"
When he saw Su Yiyun's methods, Black Dragon knit his brows and wanted to question him. Since he had a way to restrain the Vermilion Bird, why did he wait until now to use it?
However, Su Yiyun didn't answer. He snapped his fingers, then disappeared from his chair.
Black Dragon and his subordinates watched in astonishment. Black Dragon's brows furrowed so tightly they resembled small mountains.
In the blink of an eye, he recalled the Four Beasts Formation above Dragon City. Countless bone spikes sprouted from his back, transforming into bone wings that shot toward Dragon City.
When the other Demon Sovereigns and Demon Warriors saw this, they dared not tarry and hurried after him.
"Big Sister!"
Su Liu 'er's sudden change caused Su Zhu and Su Yan to cry out in alarm. At that moment, a white-robed, middle-aged man descended from the sky.
"Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning. It seems the Empress has succumbed to her inner demons."
"Clan Head Bai."
When he saw the white-robed man, Ye Zichen cupped his hands and brows.
He really was the head of the Tiangou Clan.
He hadn't shown himself during the previous battle because he'd been in deep seclusion the entire time. He didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
When he emerged from seclusion, he'd learned of the situation in the Three Realms from the Jail King. Without hesitation, he hurried to the Dragon Clan, only to run into Su Liu 'er in the middle of her tribulation.
"Big Sister."
Su Zhu and Su Liu 'er stood anxiously off in the distance. Su Liu' er stood in the center of the lightning tribulation, her fair, slender claws waving about incessantly. Streaks of razor-sharp energy shot out from her claws, cutting through the surrounding ancient trees.
"Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning?"
Although Ye Zichen had experienced lightning tribulation before, he knew nothing about it. When he heard the Bai Clan Head say it was Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning and that she'd succumbed to her inner demons, he couldn't help but ask.
"Big Sister Liu 'er has succumbed to her inner demons. How can we help her break free?"
"It's difficult." The Tiangou Clan Head narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "If I remember correctly, Yuan Hong, one of the three kings of Mount Huaguo, died for the Empress. Their relationship …. Were they lovers?"
"That's right, but what does that have to do with this?"
"It does." The Bai Clan Head furrowed his brows. "In truth, I only understand a little about heavenly lightning. However, I seem to have read in ancient texts that Heart-Demon Heavenly Lightning will repeat the most difficult and unforgettable thoughts in a person's heart over and over again. If you're even the slightest bit careless and fall into its trap, it'll be extremely difficult to escape. If the Empress wants to break free ….."
The Bai Clan Head suddenly stopped and shook his head.
