Chapter 886: Chapter 828: Divinity Transformation (3)

Ice Demon Trial Land, by the Holy Ancestor Pond.

The five True Demons including Bing Ling had been wandering around other parts of the Ice Field for several days before finally agreeing to stick together and return to the Holy Ancestor Pond.

They Ice Demons usually moved alone; even on the battlefield between the Human and Demon Clans, there were very few times they ever cooperated.

These years cultivating by the Holy Ancestor Pond, they’d been scared into a state like startled birds by Jiang Yuebai, so panicked they couldn’t live in peace for even a day. Helpless, they could only huddle together for warmth.

Originally there were six of them; now only five remained, and the other one had been swallowed by Jiang Yuebai!

The five True Demons were full of grievances with nowhere to pour them out!

The five of them had limited ability; after many attempts, they still couldn’t dive straight to the bottom of the pond in one breath.

Yet that crafty, cunning, base, shameless person Jiang Yuebai could go in and out whenever she pleased, seizing the moments when they were earnestly cultivating to suddenly jump out.

Within thirty li around the Holy Ancestor Pond, they were forbidden from attacking each other; that scheming Jiang Yuebai actually set herself on fire and rushed right at them.

Thinking carefully, she was indeed burning herself, so it didn’t count as violating the rules of this place.

Twenty-nine years, forty-seven ambushes, with no pattern to follow!

They were so tormented they simply couldn’t quietly absorb the pond water for cultivation; every moment they were on guard and wary, afraid that treacherous Jiang Yuebai would suddenly appear.

Thankfully the Demon Clan’s cultivation wouldn’t produce Heart Demons like the Human Clan, or how could they have survived until today?

It wasn’t that they hadn’t fought back; several times they lured Jiang Yuebai, who was covered in Phoenix True Fire, thirty li out and attacked to kill her.

But every time, she was a clone!

A clone!!

The breakdown of the five demons including Bing Ling—who could understand it?

It was during those few bouts of chaos that one of Jiang Yuebai’s clones took advantage of the confusion to counter-kill one of their demons, swallowed him, and then ran!

After that, Bing Ling took the initiative to propose, and the five demons formed an offense-defense alliance to jointly deal with the dirty-tricking Jiang Yuebai.

The last ambush happened five days ago; Bing Ling’s cultivation had just started to enter a good state when he was forced to stop, and he had almost been knocked down by Jiang Yuebai, who was covered in Phoenix True Fire.

Bing Ling was very haggard, both shoulder Demon Horns drooping listlessly. When he thought about how this kind of life still had to go on for another twenty years before the Trial Land would open, they sank into deep despair and wanted to commit suicide!

Does she not need to cultivate?

No, she’s a clone; her main body is definitely cultivating!

Ahhhhhh!!!

There was a fragrant breath stuck in Bing Ling’s chest that he had to spit out; if he didn’t, he wouldn’t feel better. People’s hearts are really filthy!

Forget it, hurry up and cultivate. Being able to cultivate one more day is one more day; otherwise, after all the painstaking effort they spent fighting for this trial opportunity, wouldn’t it all be wasted?

Bing Ling calmed his emotions, seized the best spot by the Holy Ancestor Lake, crossed his hands over his chest, suspended his body vertically in midair, and began absorbing the rich Cold Ice Demonic Qi in the pond water.

After taking one breath, Bing Ling suddenly started violently coughing, as if he’d swallowed a mouthful of chili, his whole body burning with pain.

He turned his head to look at the other demons; they all reacted violently as well, bending over and coughing.

Bing Ling was shocked. Had that base, shameless, low-down bastard actually poisoned their Holy Ancestor Pond?

Bing Ling and the other demons, enduring the abdominal pain like their insides were on fire, craned their necks to look down into the pond water.

Gudu gudu~

A faint patch of crimson emerged beneath the pond water; the extremely icy water actually started bubbling like it was boiling, with strings of bubbles rising up, more and more violently.

Crack!

A tremendous cracking of ice came from the bottom of the pond, and a crimson pillar of fire abruptly burst through the pond water, shooting straight into the heavens.

The five demons panicked and retreated in a fluster; their first reaction was that that fellow had come again.

Looking more closely, they saw the pillar of fire slam heavily into the sky barrier of the Trial Land and explode with a boom.

Heavenly Falling Flame rained down, dragging long fiery tails that smashed onto the glacial earth.

The ground trembled, the Ice Shell split open, and in the blink of an eye the Trial Land was plunged into a crimson Fire Sea; even the sky was burned scarlet, faintly laced with red lightning that made Bing Ling and the others wary, crackling and sizzling.

The Holy Ancestor Pond water poured downward and in an instant was gone without a drop left, leaving only a broken crystalline staircase, and in the void at the pond bottom, a spatial vortex that had already been burned crimson, within which black Muddy Qi clashed violently with it.

Rumble rumble!

A muffled thunder sounded, and the pressure of Heavenly Thunder weighed down heavily; Bing Ling’s scalp tightened.

"That damned human is crossing a Heavenly Tribulation in my Holy Ancestor’s land? Move!"

The five demons were utterly panicked. Even though they had already reached the True Demon Realm, when facing a Human Clan Divinity Transformation Stage Heavenly Tribulation—especially this kind of fire thunder that specifically restrained Ice Demons—they still found it hard to resist and could only flee for their lives.

They passed through the Fire Sea, hearing constant sounds of collapse from behind them.

Bing Ling looked back and was scared out of his wits. With the Holy Ancestor Pond as the center, the entire Ice Field was collapsing inward. Underground flames surged wildly, and the Ice Field had become a volcano!

"Damn it!"

Bing Ling swept his gaze around, praying that the Refining Void Stage King Demons outside would notice the abnormality in the Trial Land early, join forces to open the exit, and let them out; otherwise they would all be buried here.

However, something even more terrifying, even worse, was still yet to come!

*

Inside Luoze Ice Palace.

Lu Nanzhi was half-kneeling on the ground, barely propping herself up with the Ice Soul Sword. The Ice Simurgh above her head was just like her, covered in raging flames, its entire body in tatters, an extremely miserable and terrifying sight.

It was like a chunk of cold ice that was being relentlessly burned in blazing fire, completely suppressed!

Lu Nanzhi discovered that this time her Heavenly Tribulation was descending in an increasing sequence, with almost no intervals or time to catch her breath, as if the Heavenly Dao were in a hurry.

One bolt had just fallen when a double bolt followed, then a triple bolt right after, and a quadruple bolt seamlessly chained!

At this moment she had already endured a simultaneous fall of five thunders and a chaotic bombardment of six thunders. Under the Heavenly Dao, nine is the extreme; presumably only the last three rounds remained, and once she survived them, her Divinity Transformation Heavenly Tribulation would be over.

Lu Nanzhi herself could not tell whether this tribulation crossing was a blessing or a curse. Tribulation Thunder imbued with the might of Ziwei Heavenly Fire was fundamentally not something someone at her level could withstand, and the only reason she had held out until the six-thunder simultaneous fall was entirely because her body had already demonized nearly halfway.

The fierce and overbearing Muddy Qi in her body offset a large portion of the Heavenly Thunder’s power.

Muddy Qi and Heavenly Thunder used her body as their battlefield, clashing against each other.

Coupled with Little Bai constantly devouring the excess Muddy Qi at her side, the Heavenly Thunder and Muddy Qi barely reached a strange kind of "balance," preventing her from fully demonizing.

And she, in turn, benefited from this.

Perhaps, if she had not taken this sword, she would not have attracted such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation.

Blessing and misfortune depend on each other. The drastic upheaval happening in her body at this moment delighted Lu Nanzhi greatly. If she could endure this tribulation without turning into a Demon, she would become a Water Spirit Body that feared no fire!

This was a change that defied common sense, yet it was indeed occurring within her. Perhaps only at this moment, when her body was half demon and half human, could water and fire coexist.

Vaguely, Lu Nanzhi felt as if she had grasped something.

But both Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Tribulation had to pass; the Muddy Qi and Heavenly Thunder within her body would ultimately have to decide a victor. How it would end, Lu Nanzhi could not yet foresee.

Just then, before the seventh round’s seven Heavenly Thunders had fallen, a series of muffled thunder rolled from the east. A suddenly arising gale almost swept her off her feet, and all the surrounding Muddy Qi and firelight madly converged toward the east.

Lu Nanzhi looked up in shock and saw, to the east of that crimson tribulation cloud above her head, wisps of gray mist seeping out from the void, gathering at the eastern sky into a gray thundercloud.

Beneath that thundercloud was definitely Jiang Yuebai; she was about to begin her tribulation crossing as well?!

What accident had forced her into such a rush?

What Lu Nanzhi did not know was that Jiang Yuebai had no desire to rush this timing at all. However, the Muddy Qi here originated from all eight Trial Lands of the Demon Realm.

She and the Lotus Platform could eat a lot, but no matter how much they could eat, they could not swallow all the Muddy Qi accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the Demon Realm.

So, by accident, the Lotus Platform was overstuffed and burst, and the Chaos Qi that had long been accumulated and fully transformed within the Lotus Platform erupted all at once inside her body.

The Chaos Qi in her body instantly reached its limit; there was no way she could avoid Divinity Transformation!

Right then, a ghostly hand painted with red fingernails emerged from the Lotus Platform, carrying a hint of anger as it hurled out five dusky gray fruits.

Chaos Erosion Spiritual Fruits!

Back when Jiang Yuebai returned to the Earth Spiritual Realm, she had dug up the last fruit tree in the Land of Chaos and planted one fruit each in the Demon Realm and in the Heavenly Interence Sect of the Earth Spiritual Realm.

The original fruit tree she planted in her Lotus Platform Small World, nurturing it constantly with Chaos Qi.

All this was so she and her master could take it when they underwent Divinity Transformation!

And everything at this moment had long been arranged by her for Yann Hongyu even before she had been brainwashed.

In the Lotus Platform Small World, the only one who could be considered "human" was Yann Hongyu. She usually cut corners, played tricks, and feared death, which precisely showed that she was smart and knew how to judge the situation. Under these circumstances, having her manage the Lotus Platform was the most reliable choice.

After all, Yann Hongyu absolutely did not want to die together with her and the Lotus Platform. Only if Jiang Yuebai lived well could Yann Hongyu live well!

The reason the Lotus Platform had been constantly抢她吃的 before was also at her instruction: to stockpile various energies in advance, transforming them into Chaos Qi so that, at the time of her Divinity Transformation, she would have enough power to fully transform into an Innate Chaos Holy Body!

Within the gray clouds and mist of the void, a Chaos Divine Thunder that had once cleaved open heaven and earth was quietly being conceived.

Though accidents arose and unforeseen changes erupted, Jiang Yuebai had long prepared everything, waiting only for this very moment!
