Chapter 2332: Then Face Your Tribulation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the twin blades of the Heavenly Demon slashed down, a silver-white radiance suddenly illuminated the entire heaven and earth. Along with it, an extremely powerful saber projection smashed into the twin blades.
Boom!
Sword intent erupted, and its sharpness was able to penetrate through one’s bones.
A burst of blue energy furiously intertwined and collided with a burst of white energy.
At this moment, a devastating shockwave sent Lan Yan flying.
Her eyes widened in shock, and as she gazed at that slender and perfect figure, she couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, “You’re… Ling’er?!”
Indeed, Lan Yan was good friends with Xu Xiaolan, so she was naturally extremely familiar with her friend’s beautiful and adorable disciple. In fact, it could be said that she had watched Ye Ling grow up.
“Yes, it’s me, Sister Lan Yan. Make haste and lead the others away from here…” Ye Ling said as she resisted the Heavenly Demon’s overwhelming power with great difficulty. This was a vast and sea-like power, and she could barely resist it even though she had already unleashed her full power.
Lan Yan immediately started to retreat upon hearing this.
Ye Ling’s arrival allowed the disciples and elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect to see a glimmer of hope.
Meanwhile, the blue sword projections had already slowly but steadily pushed the white sword projection into a corner. Bursts of radiant energy erupted from the contact points between the razor-sharp dagger and the twin blue swords. In fact, there were even cracking and screeching sounds.
“It’s a new prey,” the peerless Heavenly Demon said as it gazed at Ye Ling, who had suddenly arrived before him. The melting flesh on its face gradually solidified, and its lips cracked into a slight grin. The sword in its right hand slowly pushed down, and at the same time, the sword in its left hand suddenly sprung up and slashed at Ye Ling’s waist!
Ye Ling’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately pushed her dagger into the sword in the Heavenly Demon’s right hand, taking advantage of the powerful force to rapidly retreat. However, the sword in its right hand had already unleashed a vast and formidable sword intent at this moment. This was a sword intent that contorted the void and was capable of annihilating all matter!
“Dark Dao Magnetic Shield!” Ye Ling knew that she couldn’t dodge this attack, so she immediately raised her dagger to parry. At the same time, a black Divine Dao transformed into a circular shield before her.
Boom!
A blue sword projection savagely slashed down. The might of this sword projection far exceeded Ye Ling’s expectation, and the Dark Dao Magnetic Shield before her was instantly shattered into pieces. A burst of sword intent then pierced through her body.
“Pwah…!” A huge gash appeared on Ye Ling’s body, and she immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood as she plummeted toward the ground.
“Ling’er!” Lan Yan’s heart shuddered violently upon seeing this.
The remaining disciples and elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect also turned pale with fright.
Ye Ling had been wounded in just a single exchange. She was no match for the Heavenly Demon at all.
At this moment, the peerless Heavenly Demon flapped its wings and started to chase after the weakened and vulnerable Ye Ling. However, as it raised its twin swords, holy flames suddenly surged over from the distance.
“What’s so impressive about bullying a little girl? Your opponent is me!” Zhu Xuze roared in fury as he charged over. He unleashed another Holy Flame Vermilion Bird that was formed from holy flames, and as this Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, it would send incredibly powerful gusts of flaming winds into the surroundings.
As the Vermilion Bird opened its beak, it suddenly unleashed a breath of holy flames that was powerful enough to disintegrate all matter at the peerless Heavenly Demon.
“Since you’re seeking death, then I’ll kill you first,” the peerless Heavenly Demon said in a calm voice. It swung a single sword, instantly slicing the breath of holy flames into two.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling had already crashed into the ground.
She could feel a burst of power wantonly wreaking havoc through her body, and this caused her meridians to suffer an agonizing pain. Blood continued to flow from her gaping wound, and her entire body couldn’t help but shudder. This was an instinctive reaction toward that devastating power in the sky.
Far too powerful… This Heavenly Demon was far too powerful!
This Heavenly Demon was completely superior to her, not only in terms of power but also in terms of speed and spell techniques. She was absolutely no match for it; she was far too weak…
Even though she was already at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, and even though she could already rival the power of those at the Dao Integration Stage, she was still far too weak compared to that peerless Heavenly Demon.
If this continued, the Vermilion Bird Sect would definitely be annihilated!
Ye Ling picked herself up from the ground with great difficulty. She then swallowed an immortal pill and looked up at the gloomy dark ink that seemed as if it wanted to crush heaven and earth. There were countless eyes amid this endless stretch of dark ink, and each pair of eyes represented a demon of terror and destruction…
This was a world of despair.
“The Great Dao contains fifty paths, yet the heavens only birth forty-nine. The remaining path is that which humans can seek and exploit…
“Master has told me before… Regardless of how much despair I feel, I should never give up hope.”
Ye Ling tightened her grip on her dagger, and she pursed her lips that were stained with blood. Her pure and limpid eyes gradually became resolute, and she said, “Humans can create miracles, and I’m sure that I can too… Let me give it a go… After all, what if I succeed?”
The young woman took a deep breath.
At this moment, it was as if heaven and earth had fallen silent.
The devastating aura of the peerless Heavenly Demon disappeared, and the sounds of battle between the disciples and the elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect and the Heavenly Demon also disappeared. In fact, even the grief and fury of the broken sky disappeared…
Ye Ling untied her hair, allowing her raven black hair to billow in the wind.
She stood on the fractured lands of the battlefield, and the vital energy within a radius of five thousand kilometers transformed into a whirlpool that gathered toward her…
Rumble…
Like the booming of thunder, deep and deafening sounds rolled across the sky.
The supreme beings suddenly detected something different.
“What’s going on? Why has the flow of vital energy suddenly started to change?”
“It seems as if the thunder in the sky has been released by the Heavenly Dao. Could it be…”
All of the powerful beings turned their gazes toward the young woman in black in unison. At the same time, expressions of disbelief spread across their faces.
“No way…”
“She… The Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Ye Ling is about to face a tribulation?”
The cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect were stunned.
At this moment, however, Ye Ling comprehensively broke through her shackles!
Boom!
A boundless aura soared into the sky!
This aura was immensely piercing and powerful. In fact, it even tore a gaping hole into the sky that was covered in a layer of coagulated black ink!
The Divine Dao of Assassination started to emanate from Ye Ling’s body. In fact, it even dragged a film of gloomy shadows across heaven and earth.
Like the ruler of these shadows, Ye Ling proudly stood in the center. Her hair was raven black, and her saber shimmered with a silver glow. This was a deadly glow, and its aura was also becoming increasingly formidable!
The vital energy within a radius of thousands of kilometers furiously surged toward her body.
At this moment, the cultivators were finally able to confirm their speculation. Right now, Ye Ling was genuinely attempting to reach the Dao Integration Stage!
An Lin, her master, had once said that she was still unprepared. He had said that she couldn’t advance too quickly. Master’s wife had also said that she needed to further perfect her Divine Dao of Assassination. If she were too hasty, her tribulation would only result in death.
However, Ye Ling knew that she couldn’t wait any longer.
She couldn’t defeat the peerless Heavenly Demon, so she could only choose to face her tribulation.
She decided that she would gamble everything in this battle… She was going to reach the Dao Integration Stage! Only by doing so could she find an opportunity for victory!
Ye Ling was slightly nervous, and she murmured, “The Heavenly Tribulation for the Dao Integration Stage is full of transformations and unknowns… I wonder what kind of tribulation I’m going to face…”
Although her companions in the Four Nine Immortal Sect had seemingly passed their tribulations with ease, the true fatality rate of the Heavenly Tribulation for the Dao Integration Stage was actually extremely high. Countless prodigies at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage had died during their Heavenly Tribulation to advance to the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage. Moreover, this was already taking into account the fact that they had prepared for it.
Ye Ling, on the other hand, hadn’t made any such preparations at all…
