Gu Qing Shan held his sword without moving.
Thick Tribulation clouds covered the sky, plunging it into darkness.
Sparks of light began to appear.
They hovered in the air, turning into blue-white balls of light that descended towards the ground at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast pace.
Two flying swords turned into streaks of light that shot up into the sky, swinging from afar.
Gu Qing Shan was using his full strength, so the sword phantoms were condensed to the limit and were extremely fast!
From afar, one could see streaks of light slashing from the flying swords, cutting through the countless balls of lightning.
The balls of lightning exploded one after another, turning into sparks of lightning that scattered all over the sky.
Whenever the sparks of lightning came into contact with one another, they would turn into a twisting snake of lightning that drew a blue-white crack in the night sky.
The crack and light filled the dark sky.
It was a beautiful sight to behold.
But Gu Qing Shan's expression became even more solemn.
He took a deep breath and adjusted his grip on his sword.
Two swords for attack, one for defense.
This was a very cautious stance.
After all, once a Tribulation begins, the power of the Tribulation Lightning will only grow stronger and stronger.
— — -the next task will be very difficult.
Five breaths later.
Countless stars began to appear in the sky.
The Tribulation Lightning that filled the sky was shining brightly like stars in the sky.
The Tribulation Lightning had taken over the entire sky!
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the Tribulation Lightning and silently nodded.
"It's time"
He grabbed the Tidal Sword and was about to use his Divine power to charge up the ice layer with the power of the Tribulation!
There were 100,000 demonic ghosts and 200 million demonized people there!
While Gu Qing Shan was about to act, a voice suddenly called out.
"Gu Qing Shan, wait!"
Gu Qing Shan's body stopped, turned around, and saw a shocking sight.
In the void behind him, a giant tree that connected the heavens and the earth appeared once again.
It was the Saint Bramble Tree.
This wasn't the phantom that descended last time, this was an actual Great Tree from the Age of Old!
It had traveled through Space and Time to directly descend upon this world!
Lola was standing under the tree, waving at him.
"What do you want?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm very sorry, I gave you an unusable armor. Please wait a moment, I have to get that armor working" Lola shouted.
Gu Qing Shan was startled.
Battle armor?
"Her Highness has decided to go through with the coming of age ceremony. Please wait for a moment." Ilya secretly transmitted her voice.
"Is the Coming of Age Ceremony dangerous?" Gu Qing Shan asked immediately.
"It's not dangerous. She will only suffer a little. In the past, her fear of heights prevented her from trying it. This is the first time she has taken the initiative to go through the rite of passage."
"Alright."
Gu Qing Shan smiled at Lola and said: "Then you have to do your best, because — — -"
Boom!
As he spoke, a tribulation lightning struck down, and Gu Qing Shan barely had enough time to raise her sword to block it.
He was ruthlessly smashed into the ground.
Seeing that, Lola hurriedly called out: "Gu Qing Shan, don't die, I'll definitely finish it as soon as possible!"
She walked in front of the Saint Bramble Tree and grabbed one of its sharp thorns.
Blood flowed from her palm.
Ouch!
Lola scowled.
These were the thorns that grew out of the Saint Tree.
Other than where the leaves grew, the rest of the Saint Tree was covered in such thorns.
This was a mystical Saint Tree that was born in the Age of Old, having gone through countless trials and tribulations, any living beings that tried to harm it had already been reduced to dust.
Within the 900 million World Layers, this ancient Saint Bramble Tree was practically invincible.
Fortunately, despite its endless power, it understood the Laws and Truths of Life and Death, so it never relied on its power to destroy and destroy, nor did it use overly powerful magic power to interfere with the natural course of the world.
If there was a weakness of the Saint Bramble Tree, it would be that it also abided by the Law of Life — — - a type of treant would grow on its body.
This treant was the Saint Tree's natural enemy.
The treant had the majority of the Saint Tree's power, so even the Saint Tree couldn't do anything to them.
But the Bramble Birds could easily deal with them.
Because of that, as soon as the Saint Bramble Tree heard Lola's call, it manifested itself without hesitation.
It could sense the heavy loss of the Bramble Bird royal family.
And this one was the last of the Bramble Bird King's bloodline.
Lola bit her lip, enduring the pain as she grabbed a bunch of Bramble Thorns with her other hand.
Then her feet.
She began to climb up the Bramble Thorns one step at a time.
The entire tree was over 10,000 meters tall, reaching the very top of the sky.
Lola needed to climb to the top of the tree with her bare hands for her coming of age ceremony to be complete.
Using both hands and feet, she quickly climbed up.
At the same time, the Bramble Thorns pierced through her hands and feet, leaving traces of blood on the Saint Tree.
In just a few moments, she had already climbed a few hundred meters.
She had been trained to climb since she was very young, but never dared to actually do it.
"This kind of pain is nothing to me."
She continued to climb.
"I don't have a family anymore, I've lost too much, can the sky still win against me?"
She looked down below.
Without realizing it, her mind suddenly went blank. The familiar fear once again manifested itself.
At this time, Gu Qing Shan suddenly flew up and smiled at her: "Do your best, the slower you climb, the more pain you'll feel, it's best if you can climb up in one go"
He went past her and flew up to face the lightning again.
At the very next moment.
A blinding flash of lightning once again enveloped him and sent him crashing down towards the ground.
Bam!
There was a dull thud.
"Gu Qing Shan!" Lola pouted.
She looked down at the hole that just appeared below, feeling anxious.
"Don't you die, you were able to save even my life, so you'll definitely be able to hold on until I reach the top of the tree" while shouting, she reached her hand out and grabbed the new Bramble Thorns.
— — she forgot about her fear.
Climb.
Climb.
Climb with all her might!
On the thick Bramble Thorns, she was climbing faster and faster!
Gu Qing Shan hid inside the hole, using her inner sight to observe Lola's agile figure.
Ah — –
That was a bit painful.
He rubbed the burn mark on his left shoulder, feeling emotional.
Actually, I could have avoided it …
But Lola's expression didn't seem right at the time, as if she was the same as every time I brought her up in the sky.
So I had to resort to self-injury.
But the little girl was quite gullible, quickly forgetting about her fear and hurriedly climbed up.
Hm, what a brave little friend.
If I have a daughter as strong as her in the future, I'll probably be very happy as well …
While he was daydreaming, several bolts of Tribulation lightning fell from the sky.
The Tribulation was merciless.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, waited for another breath's worth of time, then jumped up to face the lightning again.
This time, he was a lot more careful.
Three flying swords flew out at the same time, trying to cut the lightning apart before it got close to him.
Bolts of lightning continued to fall from the sky, chasing after his figure, trying to strike him.
Gu Qing Shan used everything he had, the three flying swords unleashed countless black sword shadows, slashing the sky full of lightning.
After a while, the torrential rain of Tribulation lightning finally stopped.
As Gu Qing Shan reappeared, he was breathing heavily.
In such an intense battle, he was risking his life every second, and he was doing everything he could.
"How is it? Did you suffer enough this time? How about we fight again later? "
He whispered to the Tribulation clouds.
He took out a high-quality Recovery Pill, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, then swallowed it.
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan seemed to have noticed something.
He slowly looked up.
The Tribulation clouds were glowing.
The pitch-black Tribulation clouds slowly turned crimson.
A blood-red bolt of lightning appeared from within the Tribulation clouds.
This was a bolt of lightning the size of a football field.
Because of its crimson glow, it was clear who it was.
— — Soul Annihilation Lightning.
Among the many types of Tribulation lightning, this could be considered one of the most powerful.
Once a living being was struck by this lightning, their body and soul would be destroyed, they wouldn't even have the chance to reincarnate.
The Soul Annihilation Lightning descended.
Gu Qing Shan looked at this bolt of Soul Annihilation Lightning above her head and couldn't help but mutter: "Seems like I can't play with it anymore …"
Lola continued to climb.
Soon, I'll reach the top of the tree soon!
A distance of 10,000 meters isn't much for any Professionist.
And for the Bramble Birds, it's even less of a problem!
She also saw that bolt of lightning.
Even though she didn't know what kind of lightning it was, she could sense the danger it contained.
Lola sped up again.
The crimson bolt of lightning descended towards Gu Qing Shan.
Lola missed it and jumped up to the top of the tree.
She stood still and loudly declared: "Mother of the Saint Tree, I desire to be recognized by you!"
The entire Saint Tree began to give off a bright green glow.
This light slowly drifted out, gathered at the top of the tree, and infused into Lola's body.
The pair of dark green wings on her back abruptly spread out, turning into a pair of long wings that were as tall as she was.
The dark green color faded as the wings gave off a clear crystalline glow.
But three glowing leaves silently manifested from the wings.
After manifesting, the three glowing leaves disappeared back into her wings.
Lola stared at this in shock.
She didn't think the Mother of the Saint Tree would bestow such a great favor upon her after her coming of age ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, when a Bramble Bird awakens, they would receive a certain type of blessing from the Saint Tree.
Even royals were the same.
Only the King would receive two types of blessings.
But above the King, the Bramble Bird Monarchs that were most favored by the Mother of the Saint Tree throughout history would receive three types of blessings!
The three leaves in front of Lola represented three different blessings.
She could already sense the presence of [Infinite Worlds' Shelter] from one of the leaves.
This time, she was finally able to fully activate this talent.
At the same time, a crown woven from bramble flew out from the Saint Tree and lightly landed on Lola's head.
"Long live the Empress!"
"Long live the Empress!"
The Bramble Bird guards were already cheering.
"What a … genius" Ilya was so excited she couldn't help herself.
But Lola remembered what she wanted to do.
Her eyes darted downwards.
The bolt of lightning had traveled over 10,000 meters and was about to collide with Gu Qing Shan's sword.
