Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Hao Ren was surprised that the Nine Dragon Palace would appear at this moment, and he instantly knew that he and Su Han couldn’t leave the Demon Sea successfully since Qiu Niu would keep his eye on them once he had recovered some of his energy!
However, after it appeared above the Demon Sea, the Nine Dragon Palace kept quiet.
The lightning bolts which were covering the sky crashed down on the Demons Sea densely except the area where the Nine Dragon Palace stood. Since the lightning bolts couldn’t penetrate the array formation of the Nine Dragon Palace, the palace formed a big shade like a huge umbrella!
The green Kirin also blocked the heavenly lightning bolts with his body for the Phoenix while its scales stood up and formed a green energy sphere around its body!
Under the strikes of the endless lightning bolts, the demon beasts under the sea didn’t dare to come to the surface to see what was going on.
In the space illuminated by the blinding lightning bolts above the ocean, there was nothing but the Phoenix and the Kirin!
The Phoenix spread its wings and covered more than half of the Demon Sea. Determination and persistence appeared in her eyes.
The body of the Kirin was only half of the Phoenix’s, but it was thicker than the latter. While it blocked the lightning strikes for the Phoenix, it looked at the Phoenix with love.
Hovering above the Demon Sea quietly, the Nine Dragon Palace looked quite eye-catching in this earth-shaking upheaval.
Although the big space under the Nine Dragon Palace was free from any lightning bolts, the Phoenix and the Kirin didn’t have the intention of flying under it even though it would take them only one second to get there.
The heavenly lightning bolts didn’t abate; instead, they got stronger.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix and the Kirin didn’t show any signs of exhaustion, and it seemed like they could withstand for a long time.
If Soul Formation Realm cultivators were here, they would have died thousands of times.
Although the Phoenix shook out the flashing lightning bolts, Hao Ren knew that it didn’t feel good! Also, the Kirin roared while it held on firmly.
The Phoenix which was transformed by Lady Zhen didn’t let out any cries of pain; she would rather die before she would submit!
The Heavenly Dao should be merciful… However, if it were true, it wouldn’t have allowed the demon kings to kill each other in the Demon Sea!
Lady Zhen believed that her husband had done the right thing by conquering the Demon Sea and uniting all the demon beasts. However, the Heavenly Dao didn’t allow it since the Heavenly Realm was afraid that the demon beasts would emerge and threaten their status!
Meanwhile, those ancient fierce beasts were either cruel, stupid, or cunning. They kept the Demon Sea chaotic, which gave an excuse to the Heavenly Realm to send troops to suppress Lady Zhen’s husband’s demon kingdom. This was why Lady Zhen hated those demon kings so much!
Today, she had gotten her revenge by taking their demonic souls and bringing her husband back to life!
What was justice and what was evil? What were immortals and what were demons? The strength of fists decided everything!
Lady Zhen knew that she was no match for the Heavenly Dao, but she wanted to fight it anyway, even at the price of turning the entire Demon Sea into a sea of eternal lightning!
The golden Phoenix waved her wings and spread endless demonic flames into the sky, turning the sky red!
The green Kirin also shot out many green lights from its scales, striking back the thousands of heavenly lightning bolts temporarily.
However, they couldn’t hold back the heavenly lightning bolts forever nor shatter the energy clouds.
“The next is the World-Ending Heavenly Tribulation. If you don’t beg for mercy, your souls will be scattered!”
A low but clear voice came from the Nine Dragon Palace suddenly as rumbling noise sounded.
Hao Ren looked up at the sky and found thick clouds forming, ready to deliver the most powerful attack of Heavenly Dao.
The legendary ancient array formation, Immortal-Slaying Array, had the World-Ending Lightning Strike as the last attack. It was no longer a punishment from the Heavenly Dao but the killing intent! It could even scatter the souls of a Daluo Gold Immortal.
After taking the tens of millions of demonic souls in the Demon Sea, Lady Zhen still resisted the punishment of the heavenly lightning bolts, which forced the Heavenly Dao to destroy her!
However, the Phoenix didn’t show any fear even in this situation. After shooting out golden lights from her golden feather, she flew toward the lightning bolts.
Since she had brought her husband back to life, and she got to see him again, it was worth everything! She didn’t care about the overwhelming offense that she had caused!
If her husband died with her, she could find a way to reincarnate. Even though she would lose her Immortal Physique and cultivation strength of hundreds of thousands of years and become a mortal who wouldn’t even be noticed by the Heavenly Dao!
Perhaps her husband would appear around her after reincarnation, but he wouldn’t have any memories of his previous life!
Also, Lady Zhen wouldn’t regret anything if her husband survives alone. In addition, Zhen Congming could return to the Demon Sea and become the ruler of the demon beasts since she had killed all the big demon kings who posed threats to Zhen Congming!
She had chosen her path without any regrets!
The clouds in the sky suddenly receded and revealed a huge hole. In the blue sky, white flashes were gathering with hissing noises.
Once activated, the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation was impossible to dodge!
With a furious roar, the green Kirin flew to the side of Lady Zhen while stepping on the heavenly fire.
The Phoenix changed into Lady Zhen’s human form. She was wearing her beautiful traditional dress with a small oil-paper umbrella in her hand.
The Kirin changed into an elegant and handsome young man in a green robe, and he grabbed onto Lady Zhen’s hand.
Lady Zhen turned to look at him with satisfaction and joy.
Right now, Lazy Zhen had changed into her younger self who had an innocent smile on her face.
Looking at the quiet couple who were standing in the high sky, Duan Yao tried her best to suppress her tear.
When she lived in Sixth Heaven, she could get anything she wanted but hadn’t felt any real warmth. However, after Lady Zhen adopted her, the latter taught her meticulously and trained her with strict standards.
She hadn’t known that Lady Zhen had such a girly heart hidden under her cold appearance.
Willful or persistent, Lady Zhen did things that she thought were worthy of her efforts.
This touched Duan Yao’s heart.
Duan Yao felt like Lady Zhen was her future self.
“If you admit your mistakes, I’ll forgive everything that happened in the past!”
Qiu Niu’s magnificent voice came from the Nine Dragon Palace.
However, Lady Zhen didn’t spare a glance toward the Nine Dragon Palace. Instead, she took her husband’s arm sweetly, and she looked up at the hole in the clouds which contained an insane amount of power without a trace of fear. She looked calm and relaxed.
Her husband, Qin, turned his head slightly and whispered into her ear, and their intimate looks showed no fear.
Boom! The hundun energy of the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation increased the nature essence intensity of the Demon Sea by hundreds of times instantly!
The sky and the earth shook while the sea water rose and hovered in the air as particles.
Hao Ren and Su Han couldn’t remain their balance. Seeing the peaceful expressions of Lady Zhen and her husband and the awe-inspiring ultimate heavenly lightning bolt, they tightened their grips on each other’s hand.
Watching with widened eyes, Duan Yao’s heart was in her throat. She didn’t want to watch Lady Zhen getting turned into dust by the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation, but she also didn’t want to look away from her master in the last moment.
She was willing to trade Lady Zhen’s life with hers!
Guang!
World-Ending Lightning Tribulation!
The World-Ending Lightning Tribulation that hadn’t been activated for tens of thousands of years was triggered.
“You just aren’t willing to admit your mistakes even if you die!” In the radiant lights, Qiu Niu’s desperate roar came from the black Nine Dragon Palace.
The overwhelming lights almost blinded Hao Ren; he couldn’t see anything between the sky and the ocean.
“Master!”
Duan Yao who had been silent called out with all her heart. Despite being with Lady Zhen for a short time, she admired her master from the bottom of her heart.
Guang! The strong lights lasted for a few seconds and then receded gradually.
To his astonishment, Hao Ren saw Qiu Niu standing under the hole in the clouds in his true form with was a yellow dragon.
As he moved in a mysterious pattern, he had blocked the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation with force!
Bang!
Lightning bolts suddenly shattered before spreading outward.
Hao Ren gaped, not understanding why Qiu Niu had come to the rescue so suddenly.
Under his protection, Lady Zhen and her husband were intact.
Su Han turned to look at Hao Ren in bafflement as she grabbed his hand.
Standing before them, Duan Yao blinked her eyes and looked at the high sky in a daze with tears on her face.
Lady Zhen’s expression turn cold while she flew toward the sea, holding the hand of the handsome young man whose name was Qin.
The clouds scattered gradually, and the heavenly lightning bolts which were about to shatter the entire Demon Sea vanished almost instantly.
Qiu Niu was in his peak state and could destroy the world, but his power wasn’t directed at Lady Zhen who had wounded him. Instead, he had helped her block the Lightning Tribulation!
“Stop!”
Seeing Lady Zhen flying toward the sea, Qiu Niu shouted.
However, Lady Zhen still flew toward the sea swiftly without any sign of stopping.
“You would rather die than admitting your mistakes!” A yellow light beam shot out of Qiu Niu’s dragon claw.
Lady Zhen didn’t try to block and let the yellow light shot toward her back.
She wasn’t even scared of the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation, let alone an attack from Qiu Niu.
While Hao Ren and Duan Yao were anxious about Lady Zhen’s safety, the yellow light was suddenly taken back.
“Humph! I should have allowed the heavenly lightning bolts to kill you!”
The yellow dragon shook violently in the high sky while he yelled with violent force.
“Father, you can take your daughter’s life at any time!” After turning her head, Lady Zhen furrowed her eyebrows and tossed out the words with determination before entering the ocean with a splash.
Hearing Lady Zhen’s words, Hao Ren’s eyes almost popped out!
