Chapter 884: Chapter 826: Divinity Transformation (Part 1)

Luozhe Ice Palace.

Jiang Yuebai nervously bit her finger, watching Lu Nanzhi standing by the spring.

Youmeng and the Spiritual Rat stood on either side of her feet, also nervously biting their paws.

One human, two beasts, completely aligned.

Ever since being blocked fifty steps away from the ice spring and unable to proceed further, Jiang Yuebai knew this thing was meant for Lu Nanzhi.

She felt no regret, rather a hint of inexplicable excitement, as if she herself had gotten a great treasure.

Once Lu Nanzhi successfully acquired that sword, she would then advance to the True Demon Realm. She had been in Luozhe Ice Palace for almost thirty years, consuming nearly all of the six passageways within the palace, leaving only the east and west and the central platform.

In the study room, aside from books, she ate everything edible and even absorbed a significant amount of Chaos Qi from the void beyond, yet she still felt short of another bite.

Based on the amount of demons she devoured, as well as the Demonic Qi and Chaos Qi she absorbed, it was enough for ten Primordial Demons to ascend to True Demon, yet, she fell short.

The culprit among them is her damned Lotus Demon Heart, always snatching up what she eats, truly unafraid of bursting!

Seeing Lu Nanzhi extend her hand, Jiang Yuebai’s spirit was shaken, hastily pulling back her thoughts, focusing all her attention.

Lu Nanzhi was covered in frost, even her eyelashes were frosted crystals, holding her Lifebound Spiritual Sword Ice Soul, she slowly approached above the spring, the white cold mist swirling around her, dreamlike and ethereal.

Lu Nanzhi feared unforeseen changes would occur upon obtaining the sword, thus she placed Youmeng and the Spiritual Rat outside.

In reality, she could completely forgo obtaining this sword, but Shen Mingjing was extremely concerned about the items below Luozhe Ice Palace.

He had earnestly told her he wished her to take the Ice Demon Ancestor’s legacy from the ice palace and deliver it to him.

So after countless nights of consideration and deliberation, Lu Nanzhi decided to take the risk, perhaps this sword could increase their success rate in escaping the Demon Realm.

Clang!

The Ice Soul Sword resounded with a clang of vibration, and the sword below the spring, seeming as if carved from a single block of ice, also emitted a clang.

Invisible ripples blossomed between the two swords, layer upon layer, gradually clearing the cold mist around the spring.

Lu Nanzhi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, moments later, her eyes abruptly opened, gleaming brilliance shot forth, a surge of cold ice demon qi spiraling from her feet like ribbons of snowy ice, lifted her jet-black hair, with an imposing aura.

Jiang Yuebai held her breath in tension.

"Rise!"

Lu Nanzhi uttered a low command, the ice sword within the spring instantly shot upward, firmly grasped by her left hand.

Just as Jiang Yuebai was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden anomaly occurred, only to see a pained expression on Lu Nanzhi’s face, her eyes seemingly washed out, changing from black to blue, forcibly suppressed to revert from blue to black.

Her hand holding the ice sword trembled slightly, when from below the spring a stream suddenly emerged, winding up Lu Nanzhi’s arm along the ice sword.

Her entire body emitted sounds of freezing and cracking ice, the color of flesh gradually faded, her body became transparent, exuding intense coldness.

"Let go quickly!"

Jiang Yuebai urgently shouted, intending to approach, stepping forward, only to be violently struck by the force erupted from the spring, crashing heavily onto a distant ice pillar.

The ice pillar cracked, Jiang Yuebai’s insides froze, her body covered in frost as if frozen in the Nine Netherworld Hell, even her Divine Soul shivered in rigidity.

"I...can’t...let go!"

Lu Nanzhi struggled to utter, as the stream rising enveloped her hand holding the sword bit by bit, her arm had completely iced over, gradually dissolving within the spring water, merging with it.

Though she had prepared to transform into a demon, now at this moment, Lu Nanzhi realized she still feared, unwilling to be arranged like this, to tread on the true Demon Dao!

Lu Nanzhi’s eyes hardened, her other hand pointed to activate the Ice Soul Sword, decisively slashing towards her left shoulder before the spring water climbed her body.

"No!"

Jiang Yuebai screamed in terror, eyes almost bursting.

Supposed to witness flesh flying, but Lu Nanzhi’s Ice Soul Sword did not cut down, it was blocked by the frozen ice formed from the spring water outside her left arm, gradually freezing, rendering Lu Nanzhi unable to control it.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yuebai’s Spiritual Light suddenly flashed.

"Heavenly Thunder! The heavenly thunder of Human Clan’s tribulation crossing can deter all demons!"

Lu Nanzhi’s heart skipped a beat, she had not entirely prepared for immediate Divinity Transformation, but the current situation left her no choice.

Plans never keep up with unexpected changes.

Jiang Yuebai already began running everywhere, activating the Great Array she set surrounding the platform, Youmeng, unable to help, also feared the Heavenly Thunder, could only retreat carrying the Spiritual Rat.

Lu Nanzhi hesitated not, activated the Sword Dao Cultivation Technique she practiced before, decisively detonating the pure Sword Intent accumulated in her Sword Heart over this period.

A sound similar to a phoenix cry resonated from Lu Nanzhi, the frozen Ice Soul Sword suddenly broke free, suspended upward, sword tip downward, swiftly rushed into Lu Nanzhi’s body, achieving Man and Sword Unity.

Boom!

Pervasive Sword Intent swept across like the proud chill of snow, Cold Ice Sword Intent like numerous chirping Cloud Larks, swiftly encircling Lu Nanzhi, gradually transforming into a phoenix-like Simurgh, with an entirely icy blue body.

The night sky vacant, Ice Simurgh spread its wings.

A cry echoed, thunder rumbled!

Above the ice palace, wind and clouds surged, Lu Nanzhi’s Divinity Transformation Tribulation Thunder directly began to converge in the void above, brewing red thunder, carrying terrifying scorching flames.

Rumble!

The spring water entwining Lu Nanzhi’s arm, frightened by the thunder, like possessing Spiritual Wisdom, indeed retreated somewhat.

Yet Lu Nanzhi still couldn’t release the sword, as the retreating spring water regrouped more, came back forcefully.

Ice Simurgh swiftly soared, battling with Heavenly Thunder.

Lu Nanzhi raised her gaze to look at the heavier, blaze-inferno-like tribulation cloud above, the fierce terrifying Fire Thunder Light rendering the whole world scarlet red.

Lu Nanzhi loudly called to Jiang Yuebai, "Little Bai, I will cross my tribulation myself, trust me, back away!"

Jiang Yuebai nervously clenched her fists, indeed at this moment she could do nothing to help, anxious, yet inexplicably trusted Lu Nanzhi.

"Okay, I’ll be waiting by the side, waiting for your successful Divinity Transformation!"

Jiang Yuebai turned to leave, casually grabbing Youmeng and the Spiritual Rat, shivering with fear behind the ice pillar, tightly holding them in her arms, using her own Demonic Qi to open a layer of protection for them.

Jiang Yuebai retreated to the easternmost part of the ice palace, activated the layers of Protection Array she set for herself, watching through the Great Array towards the sky.

The tribulation cloud gathered quickly, already red thunder light flashed amid the blaze, constantly striking the Ice Simurgh.

Jiang Yuebai guessed, that Ice Simurgh was Lu Nanzhi’s Sword Spirit, would first bear the initial wave of Tribulation Thunder.

Every time a Sword Cultivator crosses tribulations, they will borrow the Tribulation Thunder to refine the sword. The initial weak Tribulation Thunder is the prime refining period.

But now, Jiang Yuebai saw within those flaming tribulation clouds, seven faintly visible starlights.

Seven Stars Origin, Ziwei Heavenly Fire!

Jiang Yuebai’s body shook, unsure why she suddenly knew these.

This is among the Ten Great Divine Fires, its power only inferior to Sun God Fire and Taiyin Divine Fire.

Gathered by Beidou Seven Stars Light, containing the most violent offensive power among stars.

To strike Integration and Mahayana cultivators with Tribulation Thunder carrying Ziwei Heavenly Fire power, yet to strike a mere Divinity Transformation cultivator here, isn’t this extermination?

Jiang Yuebai suddenly felt an impulse to worship heaven and earth, as long as anyone could ensure Lu Nanzhi’s successful Divinity Transformation, they’d be her big brother henceforth!

Just as Jiang Yuebai finished praying in her heart, the entire ice palace suddenly shook with a rumbling, surging black mist like a tsunami, rushing up.

Before Heavenly Thunder fell, Earth released Muddy Qi.

Unexpectedly, Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Tribulation arrived back-to-back!
