Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1432: Chapter 1391: Successful Breakthrough

“It hurts… it hurts so much…”

Lu Chuan’s throat had long become dry and hoarse. The lightning almost destroyed every inch of his flesh, but with the aid of Spiritual Power, it constantly regenerated, like a cocoon struggling to emerge as a butterfly, crawling out from the charred skin.

“Is this… is this all you got? Hahaha! Bring it on!”

Lu Chuan laughed up at the sky, but what responded was the merciless Heavenly Tribulation!

Seven bolts of heavenly thunder descended one after another, each more powerful than the last. The final thunderbolt obliterated everything within a ten-mile radius, turning it into a vacuum devoid of life!

Witnessing this scene, Yun Ji swallowed nervously with lingering fear.

Fortunately, her instincts drove her to flee swiftly with Miao Conglu at the critical moment; otherwise, her fate would have been unimaginable.

“Lu… Lu Chuan!”

Miao Conglu cried out in anguish, but how could she overpower Yun Ji? She was held tightly in Yun Ji’s embrace, unable to break free.

“Please let me go, I beg you, Yun Ji! Lu Chuan… he can’t hold on much longer!”

“No, absolutely not!”

The Heavenly Tribulation had ended. If Lu Chuan made it through, all the efforts and suffering he’d endured would lead to the best outcome.

But if Lu Chuan couldn’t withstand it…

Everything would turn to naught.

Yun Ji was somewhat afraid; she didn’t even have the courage to approach and check on Lu Chuan’s situation.

Time passed slowly. Half a Shi Chen later, Lu Chuan, lying on the ground, still showed not a hint of movement, and Yun Ji’s face turned increasingly grim.

“It’s impossible… how could he die here? That’s not the way it should be, it absolutely cannot be!”

Like a madwoman, Yun Ji lunged at Lu Chuan, laying her ear against the charred body to listen closely.

Nothing…

No heartbeat, no breath, nothing!

Even the Spiritual Power within Lu Chuan was continuously dissipating!

“Impossible, Lu Chuan! Open your eyes, Lu Chuan! Open your eyes and look at me, won’t you? I… I am Yun Ji! I’m your wife!”

Kneeling in front of Lu Chuan, Yun Ji wept bitterly, her lamenting voice full of sorrow, leaving Miao Conglu rooted to the spot, unable to get close.

“There must be a way, there must be a way!”

Yun Ji’s face was pale. Trembling, she revealed her true form; the true form of the Nine-Tailed Demonic Fox emerged. Yun Ji parted her mouth, spat out a faint blue Demon Core, intending to transfer it into Lu Chuan’s body.

“The Demon Core! The Demon Core can definitely save you!”

Yun Ji had lost all concern for everything else.

Without the Demon Core, she would lose all of her power, and might even die, but none of that mattered!

As long as Lu Chuan could open his eyes, Yun Ji was willing to pay any price, no matter what!

Fortunately, a miracle happened.

Just a second before Yun Ji transferred the Demon Core into Lu Chuan’s body, Lu Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for air as if he were drowning, his chest heaving violently.

“I… did I succeed?”

That voice, hoarse to the extreme, sounded like the creak of dried branches snapping, but to Yun Ji at that moment, it was music to her ears.

“Lu Chuan!”

Seeing the cracked and shedding charred skin on Lu Chuan’s body, Yun Ji’s tears, which she had struggled to hold back, burst forth again, and she threw herself into Lu Chuan’s arms, crying loudly.

Watching this scene, Miao Conglu felt her body go weak, and she knelt on the ground, covering her mouth tightly as tears seeped through her fingers.

“It’s… so good.”

“Thanks to the Tower Spirit…”

Lu Chuan exhaled a long breath, wiped the tears from Yun Ji’s eyes, turned to Miao Conglu, and smiled, “Scared you, didn’t I?”

“You bastard! At a time like this, you still have the nerve to joke? Yun Ji and I were scared half to death by you!”

“Honestly, I didn’t expect to hold on either…”

In fact, at the eighth bolt of Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Chuan’s aura was already very weak, almost hanging by a thread.

Facing the ninth Heavenly Tribulation in this state, there would’ve been no miracle to save him!

Even Lu Chuan had fallen into despair, quietly awaiting the descent of death, but it was at this moment that the Tower Spirit intervened.

Lu Chuan personally saw the Little Tower resonate; a radiance burst forth from its body, covering Lu Chuan’s entire surface, reducing almost ninety percent of the tribulation’s force, allowing him to barely survive.

However, as a consequence, a part of the Little Tower’s body turned charred.

“Alright, I’m fine now, so don’t cry anymore.”

Lu Chuan replied with a wry smile, rubbing Yun Ji’s head, holding her in his arms while struggling to stand up, letting out a deep breath, “At least the outcome is good, isn’t it? I’ve already broken through to the Spirit Splitting Realm!”

In fact, he had even advanced to the second level of the Spirit Splitting Realm in one fell swoop, exhausting the power of the Blood Pill.

“You can still laugh! Do you know I almost had to give you my Demon Core!”

Yun Ji clenched her silver teeth, punching Lu Chuan in frustration, only to hurt her hand.

“Yun Ji, if anything similar happens again in the future, I absolutely forbid you from doing that, do you hear me? What would you do without your Demon Core? If it requires your life to keep me alive, I would rather you live.”*

“Without you, what meaning would there be in my life! You bastard, from now on, you must not take such risks again!”

“I promise you, I won’t take such risks again.”

Of course, there probably wouldn’t be another chance like this.

Strong as the Blood Pill is, it allowed Lu Chuan to achieve in a single day what others might not accomplish in decades or centuries.

But similarly, the cost of the Blood Pill was something Lu Chuan could not bear.

Slaughtering millions for his own sake was something Lu Chuan could not do.

After comforting Yun Ji for quite a while, he finally managed to stop her tears, though she occasionally sobbed, looking somewhat endearing.

Thus, Lu Chuan finally turned his gaze to Miao Conglu.

“Scared you, didn’t I?”

“Yeah… if even you were gone, I really wouldn’t know what reason I had to keep going…”

“So I have to keep trying to live, even for your sake.”

Lu Chuan tugged at his lips, moved in front of Miao Conglu, took out a bracelet, and gently placed it on Miao Conglu’s wrist. The bracelet immediately adjusted its size to fit the width of her wrist.

Then Owen took out the other bracelet and put it around his wrist, smiling, “Will you come back with me?”

“Is this… the Twin Bracelets?!”

“Yes, with this, you’ll have seventy percent of my power, and even against a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, you’ll be able to fight. I’ll protect you while I’m around, but if I’m not, you must take good care of yourself.”

Miao Conglu lowered her eyes, gently stroking the warm bracelet, softly saying, “Earlier, Ms. Yun Ji said you have a dozen wives…”

“That’s true, and I should’ve told you earlier. If it bothers you…”

“It does bother me. I believe every girl would mind, so Lu Chuan, don’t forget me, okay?”
