Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 541 'A Lucky Break' (3k5)

Half an hour ago.

The Ninth-Rank Space Shuttle was speeding through the space wormhole, crashing and ramming about, and even nearly bursting out of the tunnel and plunging into the boundless abyss several times.

"Damn it, why hasn't the tribulation lightning arrived in this spatial wormhole yet?!"

Sensing the fluctuations of the lightning constantly locking onto his head, Xiao Yan's expression changed repeatedly, finally revealing a look of fear.

Logically speaking, once a pill is refined, its efficacy will not be affected even if it does not undergo a tribulation of lightning. The real cause of the tribulation of lightning is nothing more than the huge energy fluctuations generated during the refining process.

But I can't skip this tribulation!
The saying goes that it's better to guide than to block. If these excess energy fluctuations are not dispersed, they will turn into a constantly engulfing storm, growing more and more violent until they form an unimaginable catastrophe.

Gazing at the faceless body covered by the Heavenly Flame Venerable's soul within the room, Xiao Yan could no longer remain seated. He immediately rushed out, shouting urgently:

"Ruo Ruo, if we keep dragging this on, once we get out of the spatial wormhole, this lightning tribulation will definitely turn us into nothing but ashes. We must get out immediately!"

"impossible."

Hun Ruoruo didn't even turn her head, resolutely rejecting the idea, "All spatial wormholes have their own operating trajectories. Once they deviate, no one can guarantee the consequences. If we really get caught in the turbulence, not only will even a god be unable to save us, but we will also have no chance to get back to the Starfall Pavilion."

She gripped the rudder tightly with both hands. The intense energy fluctuations had already caused the space shuttle's autopilot to malfunction, and even using her battle qi to control it could only barely ensure that it did not deviate from the preset trajectory.

"Why don't we just break through the wormhole and get out?" Xiao Yan roared angrily into the wind, "Just like how you tricked me when we came from the Northwest Region to the Central Plains!"

"Are you kidding me? This isn't a peaceful time. If we rush out, the lightning tribulation will strike our faces immediately!" Hun Ruoruo calmly steered the ship, not forgetting to turn back and scold, "If you can't steer a ship, don't give orders!"

Xiao Yan wanted to argue something, but a fierce gale rushed into his mouth from the cabin. The wind, originating from the abyss, felt like sharp blades cutting into the depths of his throat.

The wind blades entered his mouth, and even with Xiao Yan's current physical body, he couldn't help but cough repeatedly, almost gagging. He had no choice but to exert his fatigue and activate his Dou Qi to barely protect Venerable Tianhuo and himself.

My physical body is too weak.
This was the thought that filled Xiao Yan's mind at that moment.

Only after witnessing the immense power of the heavens and earth, such as the lightning tribulation, did he finally realize the flaws in his current physical body.

Although it appears to be cast in bronze and iron, and can even withstand the full force of attacks from cultivators of the same level without breaking a sweat, its physical body always seems to be lacking something compared to its soul and battle qi.

That is the power to communicate with heaven and earth!
The Soul Realm is a transformation from mortal to spiritual, enabling communication with heaven and earth. The Battle Qi Realm is even simpler; one only needs to reach the Battle King level to gain a certain degree of control over the energy of heaven and earth. This is also the most common method for cultivators to master the power of heaven and earth.

But what about body tempering?

Is this path, which has been called a dead end throughout history, because the way to refine the body has long been completely blocked?

Raising his hand, Xiao Yan took out a scroll that was almost torn to shreds. His breathing was heavy, as if crazy thoughts were constantly growing within him.

"Ruoruo."

"Stop keeping me in suspense. You can't be distracted when using the spatial shuttle, you know?"

Hun Ruoruo stared ahead, her hands constantly turning the steering wheel in an attempt to calm the already violently shaking ship. However, judging from her extremely laborious movements, she clearly didn't know much about how to pilot the space shuttle.

"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'The tallest people get struck by lightning first.'" Xiao Yan stared at the girl's busy figure. "Actually, this saying is very true. No matter who you step on, God only knows that you are tall and have offended Him, so He will strike you first."

"You mean you want to be the one who avoids lightning?" Hun Ruoruo calmed down a bit.

Xiao Yan grinned: "Not bad."

"roll."

"."

Xiao Yan had only ever seen the other party swear once before, and now that he had been thoroughly insulted, he was stunned and stood there with his mouth agape.

He rarely saw the other person so irritable.

"Using your physical body to withstand the lightning tribulation, good."

Hun Ruoruo turned around, her expression cold: "Let's not even talk about how this ninth-grade spatial shuttle can't withstand the impact of the lightning tribulation. It's a sure thing that it will burn and explode. Even if you really withstand the lightning tribulation, how do you plan to fight against those people from the Ice River Valley? With a nearly crippled physical body? Don't tell me you're planning to gamble on a miracle."

She never believed in miracles.

Even though creating miracles might be commonplace for Xiao Yan, she dared not take any more risks. Now that she knew about Yin Gu, she would bring him to her mother's side intact, even if it meant being tied up, and no one could stop her.

She kills anyone who dares to block her way.

Seeing the cold light in her eyes, Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then chuckled and stepped forward, activating the last soul imprint in the scroll, which was meant to be read by others, and slowly imprinted it on her brow.

“This time it really isn’t a miracle, I promise.” Xiao Yan rested his chin on the girl’s forehead. “Those who pin their hopes on miracles are destined not to receive their blessings.”

Sensing the body temperature emanating from the other person, Hun Ruoruo remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Does it always have to be this glamorous? I don't want to be in the limelight," Hun Ruoruo said softly.

"It's a matter of necessity, a matter of necessity," Xiao Yan said with a forced smile and a bow.

Hun Ruoruo didn't reply, but pushed her away and said, "Get out."

After saying that, before Xiao Yan could react, she suddenly pressed the deep red button in the center of the ship's rudder.

In an instant, the surrounding sky cleared up.

Xiao Yan felt a slight stinging pain in his eyes. The sudden white light was instantly enveloped by dense blackness, which seemed even more terrifying than the emptiness in the space.

A bone-deep fear gripped him. Just as he was about to unleash his battle qi, he sensed a bolt of lightning, as thick as a pillar, crashing down like the roar of an ancient demon.

"Wait, what is this?" Xiao Yan's face turned ashen, and before he could finish speaking, he was instantly engulfed by an endless sea of ​​lightning.

"what!!!"

As Xiao Yan screamed in agony, Hun Ruoruo casually closed the cockpit door.

"What is that?!"

Just as Venerable Qinghai sealed off the energy of heaven and earth, leaving him no time to attend to the battlefield, a flaming shuttle-shaped spaceship, as if riding the wind and thunder, burst forth from the endless sea of ​​lightning, instantly breaking through the encirclement formation.

The Level 9 Space Shuttle was using its last bit of energy. The wooden outer layer kept peeling off and disintegrating, revealing the glowing, dark metal inside. It kept rubbing against the air, sparks mixed with roars.

In a very short time, the space shuttle completely disintegrated, turning into a thin sheet of iron.

Although its appearance had become dilapidated, its speed seemed to have increased. From being barely visible at first, it became completely blurred. Many unfortunate Ice River Valley disciples who were blocking its way did not even have time to scream before being blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the merciless collision.

"Madman, madman!!"

An elder of the Yellow Springs Pavilion at the Dou Zong level was locked onto by the lightning tribulation, instantly freezing in place, filled with fear and dread:

"To open a wormhole from space, this person is absolutely insane, completely disregarding their own life!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the black light that the spatial shuttle had transformed into flashed past, instantly crushing the old man into dust. Only a broken spatial rift remained in mid-air, lingering for a long time.

After crushing a Dou Zong-level expert, the spatial shuttle didn't even pause for a moment, its momentum undiminished. It locked onto the massive iron chain attempting to seal the power of heaven and earth, and slammed into it—

"boom!!!"

A deafening explosion, enough to rip eardrums apart, rang out, accompanied by a terrifying thunderous roar.

The sharp, blade-like gale brought forth a large amount of blood, causing countless Dou Wang-level cultivators to tremble and wail.

Everyone present, including the six Dou Zun, looked toward the direction of the explosion, some in astonishment, others in fear, completely unable to imagine that anyone could trigger such a powerful lightning tribulation.

Without a doubt, this is a divine punishment that truly threatens even a Dou Zun!
"Ruoruo, little girl?"

"Xiao Yan!"

As they watched the two figures leap out of the thick fog at lightning speed, everyone rubbed their eyes, as if they were seeing ghosts or gods.

They're actually the young master and chief disciple of the Starfall Pavilion?!

They actually broke the seal cast by the Dou Zun powerhouse!

As the champion of the Four Directions Pavilion Grand Competition, Xiao Yan's reputation needs no introduction, while Hun Ruoruo's reputation is even more exaggerated. Many people still remember her outstanding achievements in the Ice River Valley.

But the younger generation is ultimately constrained by their age.

Even if they can stand out among the younger generation, when facing a Dou Zun old monster who has cultivated for many years, it is undoubtedly like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they will not be able to make any waves at all.

After all, who hasn't been arrogant and outstanding among all heroes to reach the Dou Zun realm? And who hasn't been exceptionally talented?
But what they were seeing sparked a different, crazy idea in their minds.
Even among geniuses, there are differences!
"Master, we were delayed on the way, but we should be alright, right?" Hun Ruoruo waved her hand at the dazed old man with a smile.

"Cough cough cough! Since Burning Flame Valley's request for help failed, we had no choice but to resort to some extraordinary measures." Xiao Yan coughed incessantly as he emerged from the thick smoke, kicking the red-hot remnants of the space shuttle aside.

His hair stood on end, and his clothes were tattered like sacks, but his body surface was like real metal, gleaming with a faint, shimmering white light, without a speck of dust.

"By the way, did we just bump into someone? I thought it was a deceleration barrier."

"This"

Venerable Feng and Elder Yao stood there stunned for a long time, their mouths agape. It took them quite a while to recover their senses, completely unexpected that it was Xiao Yan and his companion who had broken through the previous deadly situation.

"The two of you together always manage to bring me countless surprises," the old doctor said with a wry smile. "If I'm not mistaken, this commotion wasn't something you two actually caused, was it?"

As expected of the person who knows the two of them best, as soon as Yao Lao spoke, Xiao Yan swallowed back the humble words that were about to come out, chuckled a few times, and remained noncommittal.

"You brat!" Old Yao sighed, whether with relief or reprimand, "You're already at the age where you could start a family, yet you're still so reckless. Only this girl spoils you and is willing to go along with your crazy ways."

It is already quite rare for two people to be able to understand each other so well and entrust their hearts and souls to each other in times of crisis. What's more, their talents complement each other so perfectly, and they are a perfect match from head to toe.

Having such a Daoist partner is enough to make everyone envious, even ignoring all their wonderful qualities.
"Teacher is right." Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a fist and chuckled, "When I see Ruoruo's mother, I will definitely learn to change."

The old doctor's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice to transmit a message: "Have you obtained news about Yin Valley?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, turned around, and looked up at the terrifying figures high in the sky. Although he was looking up, his gaze was filled with chilling killing intent.
"But before that, we'll probably have to settle our scores with them first."

"You little bastard, it's been a long time. Your ability to talk big has improved quite a bit."

In mid-air, the look of surprise on Venerable Huangquan's face gradually faded, a faint hint of covetousness flashing in his eyes, and he sneered coldly, "You think you can do this?"

"If they are not enough, then look at me, do I have the qualifications?"

Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out, and in an instant, a stiff figure appeared in mid-air.

The Yellow Springs Venerable's gaze lingered on the stiff human body that resembled a corpse for a moment, and the amusement in his eyes finally froze at that moment.

"Another Dou Zun?!"
