Chapter 885 - 827: Divinity Transformation (2)

Chapter 885: Chapter 827: Divinity Transformation (2)

When the Earth Tribulation appeared, Jiang Yuebai didn’t think twice, leaving behind Youmeng and the Spiritual Rat, she rushed out of the Great Array, heading directly to where Lu Nanzhi was undergoing her tribulation.

The muddy qi continuously surged beneath her feet like a black river, quickly submerging Jiang Yuebai up to her knees. Under the assault of the muddy qi, her body began to disintegrate, and everything forming her body was polluted into blackness.

The power contained within the muddy qi was thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than demonic qi, harboring extreme violence and dominance. She simply had no time to absorb it before her body was being burst apart.

It was as if countless Blast Talismans were exploding from every orifice of her body. Under the pain akin to being flayed, Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth and persisted. Her body gradually turned into a blood mist, with the Lotus Platform in her Dantian vibrating, helping her absorb the surrounding muddy qi, reducing her pain.

As she neared the central platform, Jiang Yuebai saw from afar that the pool of spring water had been tainted black by the muddy qi, resembling an abyss, trying to pull Lu Nanzhi down bit by bit.

She stood struggling amid it, fighting back in pain, yet the black water flow still inexorably climbed along her left arm.

Threads of black split off from the water flow, advancing in two directions—one invading Lu Nanzhi’s heart, the other invading her Sea of Consciousness.

Lu Nanzhi’s pupils glowed with blue-black light, and her left arm entangled by the spring water had already transformed into black demonic qi, beginning the Demon Transformation!

Boom!

A scarlet thunder suddenly struck down from above, piercing the Ice Simurgh above Lu Nanzhi’s head, hitting her fiercely. Thunder light splattered, and flames scorched her body.

The terrifying might of the Heavenly Thunder swept across like an army, and in the instant Jiang Yuebai was blown away, she saw the Heavenly Thunder and the muddy qi locked in a fierce battle, using Lu Nanzhi’s body as the battlefield.

Bang!

Jiang Yuebai was slammed heavily against the Barrier on the easternmost side of the Ice Palace by the residual power of the Heavenly Thunder. Behind her, a web of cracks formed, and a void storm rushed in along the cracks, cutting her back like knives.

She was smashed to the ground in a curled-up position, her entire body aching with pain, her insides burning, unable to even get up.

Youmeng trembled and ran to her side. Although they often fought, at this moment, Youmeng was genuinely concerned, trying to nuzzle her and check her condition but instantly triggering scarlet lightning upon contact.

Crackle!

Youmeng shrieked, its body suddenly igniting with Ziwei Heavenly Fire, screaming in terror.

Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth and extended a hand, forcibly circulating her cultivation technique, quickly drawing away the Ziwei Heavenly Fire from Youmeng, thereby saving its life.

Boom! Boom!

Two more scarlet Heavenly Thunders successively crashed down, with the overwhelming might of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire sweeping across, crushing and incinerating the muddy qi on the ground, absolutely domineering.

Golden light flashed in Jiang Yuebai’s eyes as it came closer and closer. Enduring the severe pain, she leapt up to shield Youmeng and the Spiritual Rat beneath her.

Just then, Jiang Yuebai felt a shock from the Lotus Platform, and Youmeng and the Spiritual Rat suddenly disappeared from under her.

Bang!

The Great Array that Jiang Yuebai had set up was shattered in an instant. She was once again blown away by the residual power of the Heavenly Thunder, pinned against the Barrier of the Ice Palace. Scarlet arcs of electricity crackled all over her body, igniting flames, as if enduring the punishment of burning, suffering beyond description.

The cracks on the Barrier behind her were larger and denser than before, with the entire Barrier teetering on the brink of collapse. If this continued, the entire space was likely to collapse.

Jiang Yuebai fell to the ground again, feeling as though her spine might fracture. The flames burned her like branding irons, incessantly scorching everything within her.

The Lotus Platform that absorbed the residual power of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire had its black leaves’ edges turn scarlet, faintly smoldering.

This was how much pain just two waves of residual power caused her, how could Lu Nanzhi endure it?

After being suppressed by the previous two waves of Heavenly Thunder, the whole Ice Palace sounded like a Demon God awakening from the depths of the earth, rumbling.

Staggering, she got up and saw something surging and roaring in the void surrounding the Ice Palace. When she looked closer, her pupils trembled.

She saw in seven directions surrounding the Ice Palace, black muddy qi flowed like floodwaters from opened gates, pouring down onto the central platform of the Ice Palace, tumultuously.

Jiang Yuebai was instantly knocked over by the backward-invading torrent of muddy qi. Her body tore and crumbled, the pain unbearable, but soaking in the muddy qi suppressed the burning sensation within her, offering a hint of coolness.

The powers of the muddy qi and Heavenly Thunder were offsetting each other!

She saw the calamity clouds of blazing fire above gradually weakening under the rising muddy qi, even the lightning among them dimming significantly.

Oh no!

Jiang Yuebai’s heart skipped a beat, recalling that Lu Nanzhi had mentioned over the years that she actually did not wish to undergo Demon Transformation; she only sought the pinnacle of Sword Dao.

If she did not find a way to suppress these muddy qi, Lu Nanzhi’s Divinity Transformation Heavenly Tribulation might turn into a Demon Transformation Earth Tribulation, by then...

She might not become a true member of the Demon Clan, but she would certainly die!

Jiang Yuebai did not know why she was so certain in that instant. She vaguely remembered that perhaps a tree had told her.

Throughout the ages, all beings in the world who attempt to transcend their heavenly ordained races are committing a major taboo of the Heavenly Dao, inevitably inviting its extermination!

Jiang Yuebai suddenly suffered a pounding headache, her Divine Soul trembling uncontrollably, her mind flashing with chaotic images, uncertain if they were dreams or reality, her view filled with overwhelming purple, terrifying her to the extreme.

It was as if... she had once experienced such Heavenly Dao extermination!

A strong feeling of reluctance erupted in Jiang Yuebai’s heart. Even though, rationally, she had not fully trusted Lu Nanzhi yet, emotionally, she did not want anything to happen to her, especially not in front of her.

As long as the Earth Tribulation could not suppress the Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Nanzhi could smoothly pass the Heavenly Tribulation, right?

As Jiang Yuebai floated and sank within the torrent of muddy qi, disregarding the disintegration of her body, she devoted her entire being to the Lotus Platform.

"Weren’t you able to devour? Now devour freely, swallow all these muddy qi; I do not believe it can still suppress the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"What are you waiting for? Devour now! I command you to devour!!!"

The Lotus Platform in Jiang Yuebai’s body trembled and paused for a moment, as if startled, but under Jiang Yuebai’s fearless and steadfast determination, the Lotus Platform suddenly blossomed with a gleam of golden light.

Lines of golden runes appeared on the black lotus petals, like keys unlocking a seal. As the runes grew increasingly radiant, the lotus petals on the black Lotus Platform began to unfurl, blooming gloriously!

Buzz!

Jiang Yuebai’s entire body trembled, disintegrating into a dispersal of black mist, swirling around the Lotus Platform, rising into the air.

A powerful and domineering suction erupted from the Lotus Platform, stirring the wind and clouds, forming a massive vortex.

Vast torrents of muddy qi were swept into the vortex, all entering into the Lotus Platform.

No matter how much muddy qi gathered from all directions, it could not fill the bottomless pit of the Lotus Platform space.

Anan, this is all I can do to help you!

At the center of the Ice Palace, half of Lu Nanzhi’s body had already transformed into Demon Fog, the area around her left eye marbled with black lines, flowing into her eye, turning her left pupil into the same icy blue of an Ice Demon, exuding a sullen and ferocious gaze.

Yet her right eye remained clear and pitch-black, holding unwavering determination.

Feeling the muddy qi rapidly receding around her, rushing eastward, Lu Nanzhi immediately realized it must be Little Bai helping her.

Lu Nanzhi’s heart warmed, and she shouted, mustering all her strength, raising the Ice Soul Sword in her right hand and stabbed it fiercely into the ground beneath her.

Clang!

The sword’s resonant sound echoed, forcibly pushing back the surrounding black tides. Half-kneeling on the ground with the ice sword in her left hand, Lu Nanzhi’s gaze was as piercing as frost. The demonic qi around her left eye was gradually being forced back, and the Heavenly Thunder above her head once again roared and trembled.

Lu Nanzhi’s black hair billowed wildly as she raised her head fearlessly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three thunders fell simultaneously, fiery flames scorched her body.

Lu Nanzhi would never resign to her fate!
