“Not good!”
Ye Qiu saw Fairy Hundred Blossoms struck flying by the lightning and inwardly cried out in alarm. He was just about to rush forward when he saw Fairy Hundred Blossoms stabilise her body.
Although her injuries were severe, the aura on Fairy Hundred Blossoms remained strong.
Long Eyebrow Immortal said with a face full of admiration: “This kind of heavenly tribulation is too terrifying. Fairy Hundred Blossoms is truly formidable to withstand so many powerful lightning bolts.”
Ye Qiu looked up at the ninth heaven, only to see the thunderclouds continuing to roil, but the heavenly tribulation had not descended yet. It was clearly brewing an even greater one.
Worried for Fairy Hundred Blossoms’s safety, he stepped out and swiftly crossed the long sky, arriving before her. He handed a leaf from the golden sacred tree to Fairy Hundred Blossoms.
Fairy Hundred Blossoms took the leaf and directly put it into her mouth. Without speaking, she smiled at Ye Qiu.
In an instant, Fairy Hundred Blossoms’s injuries healed.
“Be careful.”
Ye Qiu cautioned her once, then turned and returned to his original spot. Just as his feet touched down, a “rumble” echoed, and the heavenly tribulation struck again.
The fifth heavenly tribulation consisted of a full seventy-two lightning bolts.
Each bolt was about ten thousand zhang long, tearing through the long sky like evil dragons emerging into the world. The enormous roar shook heaven and earth.
Fairy Hundred Blossoms’s battle intent was high. As the heavenly tribulation fell, she proactively charged out.
“Boom!”
The moment both sides made contact, Fairy Hundred Blossoms suffered a heavy blow. Her body was nearly pierced through by the lightning, many wounds exposing bone, and blood soaked her long skirt.
“Palace Lord, you must hold on!”
On the ground, Green萝 clenched her pink fists tightly, staring at Fairy Hundred Blossoms in the sea of lightning, praying silently in her heart.
Several minutes passed.
Finally, Fairy Hundred Blossoms endured through it.
No sooner had the fifth heavenly tribulation ended than the sixth one followed.
“Rumble!”
A world-shaking thunderclap, shaking heaven and earth. Ninety-nine bolts of purple lightning pierced through the heavens, instantly wrapping around Fairy Hundred Blossoms.
Fairy Hundred Blossoms faced a tremendous crisis. At that moment, the flame mark on her brow suddenly lit up. A terrifying red flame swept across the firmament, counterattacking the heavenly tribulation.
A shocking scene appeared.
The flames bursting from Fairy Hundred Blossoms’s brow actually devoured more than a dozen powerful heavenly tribulations, as if to incinerate the heavens.
“What kind of flame is this? How can it even devour heavenly tribulations?” Long Eyebrow Immortal was shocked.
Ye Qiu was also surprised. He had previously thought the mark on Fairy Hundred Blossoms’s brow was just makeup. Who would have known it concealed such a terrifying flame.
“Green萝, what is the deal with the flame?” Ye Qiu asked.
Green萝 replied: “I asked the Palace Lord about it before. Even she is not clear on it. It seems to be innate.”
Innate?
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Immortal were astonished.
Long Eyebrow Immortal whispered: “Little brat, it seems Fairy Hundred Blossoms very likely possesses a special constitution as well.”
Ye Qiu said gravely: “Right now, the most important thing is to pass the heavenly tribulation. It is strange, though. The heavenly tribulation she faces is truly too powerful. Even if I went all out, it would be difficult to withstand.”
Long Eyebrow Immortal said: “Nonsense, this is the heavenly tribulation for peak Golden Core. If passing it were that easy, everyone in the cultivation world would become a supreme powerhouse.”
Ye Qiu frowned and said: “Although I have not experienced the peak Golden Core heavenly tribulation myself, it looks like the one Fairy Hundred Blossoms faces is somewhat extraordinary.”
Long Eyebrow Immortal said: “That is because her constitution is special, so the heavenly tribulation is stronger than for others.”
“The ancient texts of Dragon Tiger Mountain record that there exist many special constitutions in the world. Those with special constitutions are both favoured by heaven and envied by it, so greater heavenly tribulations descend to hinder their growth.”
“Just like you, little brat. Your heavenly tribulation is several times stronger than others’. Of course, the rewards after successfully passing are greater too. At the same realm, you are more powerful than others.”
“If that red flame is truly something Fairy Hundred Blossoms was born with, then her constitution must be very special, so the heavenly tribulation she faces also surpasses the norm.”
As they spoke, the sheet of flame bursting from Fairy Hundred Blossoms’s brow devoured another dozen lightning bolts.
A look of delight appeared on Ye Qiu’s face.
As long as it continued like this, it would not be long before the heavenly tribulation was entirely devoured by the flames.
However, at that moment, a rumble sounded from the sky, and the seventh heavenly tribulation arrived.
“Boom!”
This time, there were a full one hundred and eight heavenly tribulations. Lightning rays in myriad forms filled every inch of space with electric glow, instantly submerging Fairy Hundred Blossoms.
The heavenly tribulation was too powerful. The attic was merely swept by the spreading aftershocks and turned to dust on the spot.
Ye Qiu grabbed Green萝 and rapidly retreated several thousand metres.
Long Eyebrow Immortal also withdrew at the same time.
In an instant, everything within a thousand metres of the Hundred Blossoms Palace suffered devastating destruction. It was levelled to flat ground. Whether buildings or flower clusters, all were buried in the earth. The ground seemed overturned.
“The Hundred Blossoms Palace is gone…”
Seeing this scene, Green萝 was utterly heartbroken, tears covering her cheeks.
“Do not be sad. As long as you and Fairy Hundred Blossoms are here, the Hundred Blossoms Palace will always exist.” Ye Qiu comforted her.
Long Eyebrow Immortal also said: “If the building is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. If the flowers are gone, they can be replanted anew. As long as people are safe, that is what matters. I just do not know if Fairy Hundred Blossoms can withstand the heavenly tribulation… Little brat, look quickly!”
Ye Qiu abruptly looked up, only to see Fairy Hundred Blossoms surrounded by lightning, like a duckweed on the river surface, in extreme peril.
This was within Ye Qiu’s expectations, after all. With such a powerful heavenly tribulation, even he would likely not fare much better.
But what Ye Qiu had not anticipated was that behind Fairy Hundred Blossoms, a purple black hole unexpectedly appeared.
For a moment, Ye Qiu was both shocked and furious.
“I wondered why her heavenly tribulation was so powerful. So she is not breaking through to peak Golden Core, but attempting to break through to the Cave Heaven realm.”
“She was only at Golden Core realm before. To cross an entire major realm directly into Cave Heaven is far too reckless and too dangerous.”
Ye Qiu said angrily: “Did she not think about what she would face if she cannot withstand the heavenly tribulation?”
Green萝 said: “The Palace Lord is eager to raise her cultivation, surely to avenge her fallen senior and junior sisters.”
“If she loses her life, how can she seek revenge? This mad woman!” At this moment, Ye Qiu was so angry he wanted to spank Fairy Hundred Blossoms’s bottom.
Boom!
Endless lightning erupted with blazing divine radiance, scattering the sky full of firelight and striking Fairy Hundred Blossoms flying.
“Puff!”
As Fairy Hundred Blossoms was struck flying, the flames dissipated, blood flowed freely, and her body was nearly battered to pieces by the lightning. Her appearance was even wretched.
Yet the heavenly tribulation had not ended.
“Rumble!”
From the ninth heaven, more than a hundred lightning bolts descended again, all chopping down towards Fairy Hundred Blossoms together.
If these lightning bolts fell on Fairy Hundred Blossoms, even with her special constitution, she would inevitably turn to ashes.
Life and death in an instant.
Ye Qiu could no longer afford to hesitate and directly rushed forward.
