Chapter 208 - 207: Divinity Transformation

Chapter 208: Chapter 207: Divinity Transformation

With the Eight Order Array Plate now in place, not only did Xie Jiuniang let out a sigh of relief, but most of the people present also wiped their sweat for Chaoyan, at least seeing hope in the next Heavenly Thunder strike.

Many people witnessed this, especially those with a Nascent Soul.

They all felt that crossing the Tribulation was hopeless in this lifetime.

Considering that just the 39th Heavenly Tribulation required such a tremendous effort, encountering a 49th, 59th, or even worse, a 99th Thunder Tribulation was akin to the heavens denying any path to survival, warranting an immediate surrender.

Xie Jiuniang asked, "Did my Master refine that strand of Heavenly Thunder?"

"No, only suppressed it," Jian Lingyan noticed something interesting—it was the Vermilion Bird within Chaoyan that seemed to have detected its presence and was even trying to communicate, "Master, the Vermilion Bird contracted by your Master seems to have sensed my presence."

"How did it discover you?"

"Your Master got stronger, so it got stronger too," Jian Lingyan had always locked onto Chaoyan’s position. It was usually hard to detect, but not completely impossible.

Jian Lingyan sought its master’s opinion, "The Vermilion Bird keeps trying to flirt with me; it seems really eager. Should I respond? If I do, I’ll be discovered."

"Respond! Ask it what it wants to do?"

In another situation, Xie Jiuniang might have refused.

At this moment, without a second thought, she let Jian Lingyan contact the Vermilion Bird.

A moment passed and Jian Lingyan completed the communication with the Vermilion Bird, "Dog owner, it’s quite cunning. It wants to ask you for a piece of Starwood, not too much, just the size of a finger."

What is Starwood?

Xie Jiuniang was puzzled for a moment.

"It said, as long as you agree—"

"Wow! The thunder is here! Why did this thunder form so quickly?" Jian Lingyan shouted in alarm, terribly startled.

Xie Jiuniang was equally surprised.

The power of the Thunder Tribulation had not reduced in the slightest compared to the previous one.

It struck directly onto the array barrier, and with a crack, the barrier collapsed, followed almost instantly by the shattering of the Array Plate. At the same time, Chaoyan protected himself with a technique, and then defended with a Magical Fan in front of him.

But in the end, it was not enough to block it all!

"Pff—"

Chaoyan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his robe was even more tattered.

Lord Qiansha frowned slightly.

Chaoruo was particularly nervous; her junior brother’s breakthrough was too hasty, and he was unprepared. Had he been prepared, he would not have feared even a 49th Heavenly Tribulation, let alone the 39th.

Everyone present was closely watching the centre of the Thunder Tribulation.

Almost no one noticed Xie Jiuniang throwing out a Great Tortoise Shell.

Then she crawled into it.

The only person who noticed was Kuangguan.

Xie Jiuniang did not stay inside the Great Tortoise Shell for long.

When she emerged again, Kuangguan was standing beside her, clearly smelling a unique and special fragrance from her, a scent he had never encountered before, so invigorating that it lifted his spirits.

At this time, still very few people paid attention to the two of them.

Currently, only the last Heavenly Thunder remained.

Dark clouds rolled with lightning, tumultuous like the overturning seas, grand and imposing, as if something terrifying was being birthed inside, ready to burst forth at any moment.

The danger was oppressive.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation had brewed for far too long.

So long that everyone’s hearts were thumping uncontrollably.

Chaoyan swallowed a Healing Pill and took another Nine Turns Vitality Pill into his mouth, looking up at the storm clouds with a grave expression.

The threat in the sky was greater than he had anticipated.

He felt his heart beating incessantly, a warning of danger.

There was an illusion that he might fall at this moment, but he refused to accept this fate; he was unwilling to die like this! There were still many things he had not done, unfulfilled wishes, and a disciple he had not yet raised...

"Master, catch!"

Xie Jiuniang ran out of the Spiritual Power Barrier set up by Chaoruo and threw something to Chaoyan.

Heard the voice and caught it subconsciously.

As he looked at it in his palm.

It was a piece of wood, the wood emitted a strange fragrance that revitalized his spirit, even restoring a trace of his depleted Divine Sense.

"What is that?"

A Divinity Transformation suddenly stood up, looking towards Xie Jiuniang.

In a moment, Xie Jiuniang used an Instant Teleportation Technique, and then she was back inside the Spiritual Power Barrier set up by Chaoruo.

Just as someone tried to get a clear look, the wood in Chaoyan’s palm had disappeared.

Now there was no time for others to think, as the biggest Heavenly Tribulation was about to come. The skies tore apart, carrying the force of annihilation. It was as if it wouldn’t rest until the person undergoing the Tribulation was dead.

All held their breath, waiting for the life-and-death moment.

"Chirp—"

Suddenly, a clear and pleasing shriek pierced the heavens.

From nowhere, crimson flames arose, and Chaoyan stood at the center of the flames, like a giant rising between heaven and earth.

His aura was majestic, shooting straight into the skies!

A Vermilion Bird spread its wings and soared, joining Chaoyan to challenge the Heavenly Tribulation above with a momentum that reversed yin and yang!

In an instant, two powerful forces collided, shaking the firmament.

It burst with a loud bang, radiating brilliance.

Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be nothing but dazzling red light!

The entire range of Tianxu Sect could see it, and those outside hurriedly closed their eyes. If they were a bit slower, the bright light hurt their eyes, causing a momentary blindness.

Xie Jiuniang’s heart pounded fiercely.

Today’s scene would be unforgettable for her entire life.

It was something she had never experienced or seen in any of her past or present lives. She never knew that a Divinity Transformation Tribulation could be so terrifying, and this was only the thirty-ninth Heavenly Tribulation.

What about those who carried karma and committed countless evils?

Wouldn’t their Heavenly Tribulation be even more fearsome?

Jian Lingyan exclaimed in awe, "Master, look quickly, your teacher has survived, and he still breathes."

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

The first sentence filled her with joy.

The next sentence made her uplifted heart sink again.

What did it mean by ’still breathes’?

"Om!"

As if from a distant sky, the sound of the Great Dao resonated.

It sounded nine times before resting.

The thunderclouds above dispersed, and after the sound of the Great Dao, another heavenly phenomenon arose. Various Auspicious Beasts’ illusions came riding on the Rainbow Auspicious Cloud, jubilantly frolicking in the sky, circling around Chaoyan as if blessing him.

In a short time, they all dissipated into the horizon.

Sweet rain descended on Chaoyan, most of which he absorbed, visibly healing his wounds.

The bystanders also received a little blessing.

Chaoruo retracted the Spiritual Power Barrier.

Some of the sweet rain fell on Xie Jiuniang, like water and yet not water, filled with rich vitality and Spiritual Energy.

"Sit in meditation and properly comprehend," Chaoruo reminded them both.

Xie Jiuniang had been worried about her master and hadn’t thought about comprehension. But the people around her began to sit cross-legged on the spot, including Kuangguan, all already with closed eyes in contemplation.

Standing, Xie Jiuniang seemed especially conspicuous.

So she sat down, but instead of closing her eyes to comprehend, she looked up at the sky, where the Auspicious Beasts’ illusions had vanished.

Things were different here.

The disciples of the Tianxu Sect were shocked by the previous phenomena.

In the entire Cultivation World, in all directions, the sound of the Great Dao was heard, a celestial phenomenon that only appeared when someone broke through to Divinity Transformation.

"Has someone achieved Divinity Transformation?!"

"Who is it?"

"It’s coming from the Eastern Region."

"It’s someone from Tianxu Sect, just not sure who..."

Similar discussions occurred almost simultaneously among the upper echelons of various major powers.
