Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Is this a success or a failure?_1

Wilderness, mountain valley.

"This will do."

After looking around, Delaney Hunter descended into the valley and pointed toward the distance, "You just stay nearby and watch, no matter what happens to me, don’t come up, understand?"

"Okay!"

Carson Flores obediently sat down in the designated hollow on the hillside, quietly waiting.

Delaney landed in the middle of the valley and sat cross-legged.

The valley was very quiet, but after about half an hour, a wind suddenly started.

The wind grew stronger, and nature’s spiritual energy seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, rapidly gathering from all directions.

Delaney, sitting cross-legged, became like a spiritual energy black hole, frantically drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy, which rushed in like river water.

The previously clear skies suddenly started to turn cloudy, eventually turning into a sky full of dark clouds.

The dark clouds swirled like a black vortex, with lightning flashing within and becoming brighter and brighter.

Delaney, who had been sitting cross-legged, stood up, floated, and ascended toward the sky.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking Delaney with pinpoint accuracy.

The lightning shattered upon hitting Delaney, breaking into countless sparks.

Without even using her Crimson Dragon Sword, she relied solely on the Sword Qi encasing her body to split the bolt of lightning.

"Crack!"

The second bolt of lightning fell, at least twice as thick as the first, striking down once again.

Delaney still faced it head-on.

The lightning shattered again, failing to enter within three feet of Delaney.

Watching this, Carson’s heart surged with emotion; her Sword Bone, her Three-foot Sword Veil was too powerful!

Such powerful lightning couldn’t even penetrate three feet before being shattered to pieces.

The third bolt of lightning descended, at least twice as thick again, but it still shattered.

Delaney hovered in the sky, standing proudly like a goddess of war, her presence astounding.

The fourth bolt of lightning, now as thick as a water bucket, descended with searing electrical arcs pouring down.

Delaney drew her sword.

With an upward flick of her blade, Sword Qi surged forth in all directions, striking the lightning above.

The Sword Qi shattered, but so did the lightning.

The fifth strike!

The sixth strike!

The power of the lightning grew, and Delaney struggled more with each bolt.

When the seventh bolt of lightning struck, Delaney’s sword light only diminished part of the lightning’s power, which continued to descend, encountering the Three-foot Sword Veil and shattering most of it, with a small part hitting Delaney, causing black smoke to rise from her body.

Carson abruptly stood up, his heart leaping to his throat.

She was beginning to struggle.

The eighth bolt of lightning struck, and Delaney was hit directly, falling hundreds of meters from mid-air, her clothes torn to shreds, and blood flowing from numerous places, appearing quite tragic.

Delaney rose again, her spiritual energy surging wildly, the Crimson Dragon Sword in hand. She transformed into a sharp unsheathed long sword, her edge fully revealed, her killing aura formidable.

The dark clouds in the sky rolled, lightning flickered, as if brewing something.

Finally, thirty seconds later, the ninth bolt of lightning descended.

This column of lightning was like a pillar between heaven and earth, coming down with countless fine lightning strikes, as if the space between heaven and earth was filled with electricity.

In the blink of an eye, Delaney was struck by the lightning column, enveloped in the incredibly bright light, as the lightning eroded her Three-foot Sword Veil and then fiercely broke through.

"Break for me!"

Delaney unleashed a pitiful yet defiant shriek, Sword Qi surging wildly through her body, frantically tearing at the approaching bolts of lightning.

Her clothing turned to ash instantly, her skin cracked, blood spurted, but she stood firm, allowing the blood to fly, unwavering in the firmament.

The lightning gradually shattered and dissipated.

The dark clouds in the sky cleared away.

Delaney, covered in blood, floated in mid-air, then suddenly fell toward the ground as if she were weightless.

Carson’s heart sank, and in the next moment, he vanished from where he stood.

The next second, Carson appeared beneath Delaney, catching her falling body in his arms.

At this moment, Delaney was covered in blood, her body riddled with wounds, most of which were scorched by lightning, blackened and smoking, and the sight was frightful. Many wounds were open and bleeding, revealing white bone underneath.

Carson felt immense anxiety, wondering whether this was a failure or success.

Before he even managed to land, an endless stream of spiritual energy suddenly rushed crazily into Delaney’s body, her wounds visibly healing at a rapid pace, and at the same time, a strong and vast aura emanated from her.

Carson’s eyes brightened. Was this success?

It is said that after passing the Heavenly Tribulation, nature’s spiritual energy will repair the body and enhance one’s power. This is like an exam; if you can’t endure, you fail, but if you can, heaven gives you a reward, granting you immense gains.

Carson held Delaney as they floated in mid-air, not daring to move at all, for fear of disrupting the "infusion" of nature’s spiritual energy.

As the spiritual energy came rushing in, Carson suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

Are you all blind?

Why are you moving into my body?
