The commotion from the tribulation on the southwest side of the Celestial Star Continent had long alerted the Celestial Star cultivators nearby. Some spied from afar and, upon seeing it was a massive, eight-tailed white fox undergoing tribulation, their hearts were stirred.
Everyone knew that after tribulation, anyone, including spiritual beasts, was at their weakest. When else would one raid if not now? It was best to subdue it; if not, at least obtain its inner core. An eight-tailed white fox was a divine beast. As for whether the white fox had a master or not, that was not a consideration. People of the Celestial Star Continent adhered to the principle of plundering. If you couldn't plunder, it meant your skills were inferior!
Resources were finite. To achieve the great Dao, one had to desperately hoard resources. The weak had no right to exist; this was a creed etched into the bones of Celestial Star natives.
Little Bai, within the lightning tribulation, was undergoing the reconstruction of her entire skeletal structure and meridians. The lightning power continuously expanded her meridians, and her bones were shattered and then repaired by spiritual energy. This cycle made her bones and meridians incredibly resilient, emitting a faint glow until the tribulation's power entering her body could no longer harm her in the slightest...
The final lightning tribulation gathered the strongest power, with lightning as thick as a water bucket illuminating the sky! However, Little Bai had already exhausted all her elixirs and gathered all her spiritual power. Her ninth tail slowly emerged. At this moment, she could only rely on the lightning gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array to face the thunderous Heavenly Tribulation. She knew that if she survived this moment, she would be reborn!
Rumble! The colossal impact was like the roar of a primeval behemoth. The lightning power accumulated by the Spirit Gathering Array was still too weak for the Heavenly Tribulation, only consuming a portion of its power! Fortunately, this strike bought Little Bai a moment's time. Her nine tails finally materialized, and all surrounding spiritual energy surged towards her. The nine enormous tails were incredibly alluring. At this moment, the divine beast's pressure transformed into invisible waves of energy that spread outwards. Even those a hundred miles away from the tribulation felt it. Those with weaker cultivation in the shadows were directly knocked unconscious.
Master Chaoyang and Ju Xuan, along with others, paid no heed to the lives of those insignificant beings. They were too preoccupied, their entire focus fixed on Little Bai within the lightning tribulation. If anyone made a move, they wouldn't hesitate to send them to see the Buddha in advance!
The colossal nine-tailed white fox soared into the sky, stepping on burning foxfire. Its mouth slightly opened, and a massive ice blade, gleaming with condensation, shot towards the lightning tribulation. The thunderous sound seemed to tear the sky apart! Three breaths later, the tribulation clouds in the sky dissipated. A total of eighty-one lightning bolts had struck, flattening a hundred-mile radius. The scorched earth seemed to display the terror of heavenly might!
The dark sky suddenly parted, allowing streaks of sunset glow to penetrate. Heavenly dew descended upon the nine-tailed white fox. Bathed in the rosy light, the fox received the blessings of the Heavenly Dao, healing its charred body from the lightning strikes. Its white fur regrew, and its damaged internal organs were mended... Suddenly, under a golden radiance, the massive fox form transformed into a naked, youthful woman with peerless beauty and a graceful body...
Ji Wuye could no longer hold back. He waved his hand, producing a white cloak and wrapping it around Little Bai like an aurora, flying over swiftly.
"Brother Wuye, I successfully passed the tribulation! I'm so amazing, aren't I!" Little Bai saw Ji Wuye and, after he smiled and nodded, she fainted!
Meanwhile, Master Chaoyang and Master Chaoxiang were already engaged in a battle with a person in black robes. The moment Little Bai transformed into human form, the black-robed figure had appeared, attempting to attack her.
Master Chaoyang was enraged. His Ten Forms of the Azure Wind Sword shot out directly, but he hadn't expected the black-robed figure's movements to be so strange, managing to dodge them. Master Chaoyang frowned, surprised by the high cultivation of this furtive individual. He had already used thirty percent of his strength.
Master Chaoxiang heard the sounds of his brother's fight. Before he even got close, he fired thunder pellets at the black-robed figure. These were the latest research results from him and Ji Wuye using gunpowder.
The thunder pellets exploded against the black-robed figure, causing him to cry out in pain! He had dodged the rain of swords, but he hadn't expected another fellow who played dirty and ambushed him.
"Despicable! I have no grudge against you, why are you acting like this!" the black-robed figure shouted angrily.
"You should ask yourself what you intended to do to the divine fox undergoing tribulation just now?" Master Chaoxiang said coldly.
"Hmph hmph! So that's how it is. The white fox is undergoing tribulation, and whoever has fate shall obtain it. You are merely laughing at others!" the black-robed man cackled! He thought Master Chaoyang and Master Chaoxiang were also here to seize the white fox.
"Ignorant! Do you know this white fox has a master? And you attacked her after her tribulation, how shameless!" Master Chaoxiang rebuked coldly!
"Why waste words with him, just kill him!" Master Chaoyang, who had been silent, suddenly drew his sword. For scoundrels like this, killing them was the only option!
"Azure Wind Nine Forms, Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart, go!" Master Chaoyang stopped talking, formed hand seals, unleashed his sword without hesitation!
"Illusory Trace Phantom! Swift!" Master Chaoxiang no longer hesitated and used the Azure Hidden Sword. He rarely used swords, but once the Azure Hidden Sword was drawn, it always returned stained with blood! Soul and spirit annihilated!
"What? You are... you are the two young masters of the Chaotian Immortal Sect?" Facing the rain of swords filling the sky, the black-robed man was shocked to realize he had offended someone he shouldn't have. The technique he used was only enough to block the Azure Yang Sword Rain, but he had miscalculated; this time he had provoked two young masters!
He used his Flying Whirlwind Steps to their extreme but could not evade a single strike from the Azure Hidden Sword. He died with his eyes wide open!
The Azure Hidden Sword slayed souls. This black-robed man's soul couldn't even escape before he perished!
Master Chaoxiang walked over and took the black-robed man's spirit ring. After a brief inspection, he only found some low-grade elixirs on the black-robed man. Disgusted, he tossed them aside. Knowing there was nothing else, he sprinkled some powder, and the entire corpse turned to ashes!
Master Chaoxiang marveled at how potent the corpse-dissolving powder researched by Ayou was!
"Brother, this person has no identifying marks. I don't know which sect he belongs to!" Master Chaoxiang said as he walked up to his brother.
"Judging by his attire and demeanor, he looks like someone from the Beast Taming Sect!" Master Chaoyang had dealt with people from the Beast Taming Sect before and recognized their clothing! This person's cultivation was extremely high; perhaps he was a big fish!
"What? That evil sect? It is said they were the ones who targeted Little Bai!" Master Chaoxiang was shocked.
"Let's go, there's something happening over at Feng Chu's side!" Master Chaoyang finished speaking and instantly flashed towards Feng Chu's direction!
Master Chaoxiang followed closely. Upon arrival, they saw three people besieging Feng Chu. Fortunately, Feng Chu was suppressing his cultivation and was not at a disadvantage. If he hadn't suppressed his cultivation, ascension at this moment would not have been what he wished! Thus, he was unable to defeat the three in black robes for a while.
Master Chaoyang had already flown into the fray. The people who came tonight were all of extraordinary cultivation. It was understandable, as those who could detect and dare to check a tribulation could not be ordinary cultivators.
Feng Chu was engaged in close-quarters combat with them, preventing Master Chaoyang from fully utilizing his swordsmanship. He could only charge in and fight alongside Feng Chu. Master Chaoxiang also joined the fray. The tide of battle immediately turned in their favor. The three in black robes exchanged glances, realizing they had encountered the protectors of the white fox's tribulation. Seeing that they were about to be defeated, their bodies and minds retreated. With a flash, all three flew backward simultaneously!
