Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 691 Hun Ruoruo's Sincere Heart (3k4, please vote!)
"Black Demon Lightning, it's actually Black Demon Lightning!"

Xuan Kongzi's face flushed red, and he couldn't tell whether he should be anxious or happy. His whole body trembled.

Black Thunder!
As a symbol of the completion of a ninth-grade elixir, the existence of this tribulation lightning is nothing short of a legend among all alchemists.

But at the same time, he is also the nightmare of all alchemists.

Throughout history, countless alchemists have been stumped at this final hurdle, not only failing to refine their elixirs but also losing all their achievements to the wrath of the heavens under their judgment.
The reason for this is the terrifying destructive power of the Black Demon Lightning!
It should be noted that the reason why the Soul Palace's Soul Chains can easily suppress souls is that they take into account the restraint of lightning tribulations on souls. And Black Demon Lightning is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying types of lightning tribulations!

In such circumstances, if one cannot withstand the lightning tribulation, not only will their physical body be reduced to dust, but even a trace of their soul will be left behind, resulting in a situation where death is inevitable.

For a moment, everyone's heart jumped into their throat.

As for the powerful figures who were closely related to Hun Ruoruo and the other two, such as Xun'er, Xuan Yi, and Venerable Feng, they could not restrain their impulses and wanted to step forward to help.

Elder Lin grabbed Xun'er, his eyes unusually cold and sharp: "Miss, you mustn't!"

"open!"

Xun'er's eyes were filled with turmoil, and she was genuinely angry, a rare occurrence for her: "If the tribulation lightning descends, Brother Xiao Yan and that woman will definitely die!"

As the young master of the ancient clan, no one knows better than Xun'er just how powerful the Black Demon Lightning is. It can be said that even someone as strong as Elder Tongxuan would not dare to easily confront its power!
"."

Elder Lin steeled himself and stood in front of Xun'er. He could feel that the energy emanating from Xun'er's body at this moment had even reached a level that made his heart tremble.

Without exception, the fact that Xun'er could make him feel threatened meant that she had undoubtedly used the power of her bloodline.
“Miss, although the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is enough to suppress the Black Demon Lightning, the clash of lightning and fire will only unleash an even greater torrent of energy. At that time, not only the three of them, but the entire Holy Pill City will probably be reduced to dust!”

Hearing Elder Lin's urgent shout, Xun'er's eyes flickered, and she clenched her fists tightly.

"."

After a long silence, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she let go with a somewhat dejected smile, saying bitterly, "Do I really have no room to intervene?"

Elder Lin sighed and lowered his head: "Although this woman is a friend of Miss, if I may be so bold, with this woman in the Soul Clan, the status of my Ancient Clan is in danger."

Xun'er's pupils suddenly contracted.

Knowing Elder Lin as she did, she naturally understood what his evaluation meant.

"You were right back then. Perhaps our ancient clan really needs to open our eyes and see the world."

Elder Lin's voice was deep and filled with unimaginable bitterness.

Boom——

An apocalyptic atmosphere and sounds followed one after another. The sky suddenly cracked open, and the once incredibly solid Holy Pill Barrier emitted a mournful cry of near collapse, as if it could not bear the weight.

Click, click!
The black and white intertwined lightning bolts crashed down, instantly illuminating the world shrouded in dark clouds and enveloping the entire Saint Pill Barrier, transforming it into a domain of lightning tribulation.

In an instant, the expressions of all the Dou Zun level experts changed drastically, and the Dou Huang and Dou Zong cultivators were so weak that they were trembling as if they were sitting on the ground.

The Fighting Saint is like the heavens, the Dark Demon is like punishment!
The Black Demon Lightning, now imbued with a trace of the aura of a Battle Saint, was like an envoy carrying out heavenly punishment. Its extreme majesty, ferocity, and power brought with it extreme fear.

As the lightning snakes danced wildly, it seemed as if the souls of all the cultivators were being pulled out of their bodies, almost leaving them. Some of the more wretched ones were so terrified that they closed their eyes, fearing that their souls would perish in the lightning tribulation.

In an instant, the sounds of vomiting and weeping filled the air. The cultivators, who were usually steadfast in their Daoist convictions, now displayed their most shameful and fearful sides.

Faced with this bizarre lightning tribulation that even a semi-saint could only avoid, no one knew what kind of pressure Hun Ruoruo was bearing at this moment.

"Girl."

Xiao Yan's soul power was already on the verge of exhaustion, while Yao Lao, relying on the restorative power of his Heavenly Realm soul, barely opened his eyelids, his eyes filled with worry.

He knew that since Hun Ruoruo was trying to complete the feat of refining a ninth-grade item, she couldn't possibly not have anticipated the existence of the Black Demon Lightning. However, faced with the pressure of the lightning tribulation, he still couldn't completely put his mind at ease.

Unexpectedly, Hun Ruoruo remained calm and instead pulled out an unknown ancient book from her bosom, smiling as she approached, "Master, you're about to become a ninth-grade alchemist, have you thought of your inscription yet?"

The old alchemist was stunned. Only then did he remember that every alchemist who reached the ninth rank could inscribe their own words on the stone tablet of the Pill Tower. He was both amused and exasperated.

"You silly girl, what time is it? Why are you still thinking about such things?"

"of course!"

Hun Ruoruo blinked, her little face full of seriousness: "Now that you've advanced to the ninth rank, Ruoruo will be the top disciple of a ninth-rank alchemist, and she'll be able to walk on tiptoe. We have to present her in a very special way."

The girl's eyes sparkled, and the smile at the corners of her lips resembled that of a cunning little fox who wouldn't act without a reason.

At this moment, Hun Ruoruo seemed to have shed her former ruthlessness and scheming, and all she spoke of was self-interest. Her pretty face was slightly pale from the exhaustion, but her smile was pure and clean.

She is really happy.

The old apothecary stared at the smug girl, remaining silent for a long time.

Hun Ruoruo once didn't understand why Yao Lao took such good care of her, just as Yao Lao now doesn't understand why the ruthless demoness would spare no expense to elevate him to the ninth rank of the divine altar.

The old doctor knew she was lying.

Having obtained some of the memories from the Dou Sheng imprint, Yao Lao already knew that even without him, Hun Ruoruo could refine a ninth-grade item with the power of Hun Xuzi, but she still did it anyway, without hesitation.

Their words were full of self-interest, yet every sentence revealed their genuine concern.

This girl is still as awkward as ever.

With a slight pursing of his lips, the old apothecary nodded, then revealed a smile: "In that case, I'm afraid I have no choice but to succeed."

Hun Ruoruo chuckled but did not answer. Instead, she walked straight to the sky to face the tribulation lightning. Beside the terrifying lightning that was enough to make a half-saint temporarily avoid its edge, the girl's body suddenly shimmered with a faint light. Although it was small, it was still able to stand up to the might of the heavens.

"She's all alone?!"

Beneath the myriad lightning strikes, the crowd cowered, gazing at the beautiful figure in the sky, their expressions filled with utter terror.

At this moment, all the soul light screens were forced to shut down, and the entire Central Continent was in an uproar. The only ones who could witness the whole process were the spectators in Saint Dan City.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and dared not make any move. They knew that no matter what the final outcome was, they would be witnesses to the legend.

This alchemy gathering is destined to be unprecedented and unparalleled, a final moment worthy of being recorded in the history of the Dou Qi Continent!
As everyone held their breath and looked up, the girl in the sky suddenly raised her head.

The next moment, where the girl's hands met, a token emitting an eerie light suddenly released an extreme pressure. Endless iron chains shot out from the sky, each one like a vine soaked in blood, howling and taking root in the thunderclouds.

"It would be such a waste for it to dissipate after the tribulation is over."

Hun Ruoruo parted her pink lips slightly, her eyes showing no fear whatsoever, but rather bursting with almost insane greed: "Since we're here, let's become nourishment for the 'Heavenly Venerable Token' just like the other lightning tribulations!"

In the past, the Soul Emperor imitated the Heavenly Dao to become an emperor, and as the arbiter of the Heavenly Dao, Thunder was naturally also within his research scope.

That is why the Soul Chain came into being.

Everyone knows that the Soul Chain is extremely effective against the soul, but no one knows that the reason why the Soul Chain can suppress the soul is that its core contains energy similar to the origin of thunder.

The stronger this primal power, the stronger its restraint on the soul!

It's laughable that the Thunder Clan, who claim to be the pinnacle of the Way of Thunder, is far less thorough in their research on thunder than the Soul Clan.

"It seems that the Celestial Venerable that Mother killed is about to be revealed."

Gazing at the iron chains coiled like a spider web in the sky, Hun Ruoruo's eyes flashed with a cold light as she whispered, "Indeed, it is the Great Celestial Venerable."

The Great Celestial Venerable is dead!
In any part of Zhongzhou, this would be a shocking piece of news that would set off an uproar among all the forces, but in Hun Ruoruo's eyes, it was perfectly natural.

Given An Suying's status as a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint), the only Sequence Celestial Venerable she could consider as an opponent was the Great Celestial Venerable, who was also a Dou Sheng.

As a supreme treasure of the Dou Sheng, the Heavenly Venerable's Token is naturally fearless of the Black Demon Lightning!
boom--

The furious dragon transformed from the Black Demon Lightning roared out and became entangled with the endless soul chains that sealed the heavens and earth.

The Holy Pill Barrier shattered instantly, and countless people fled for their lives in a frenzy, not even bothering to watch. Xuan Kongzi and his companions, on the other hand, dared not be negligent in the slightest, and they opened up the barrier, desperately trying to resist.

"Rescue!"

With Xuan Kongzi's angry shout, all the elders of the Pill Tower attacked together, and one barrier after another was formed, only to be shattered into dust by the aftershocks a moment later.

"It really worked."

At the edge of the stands, Yao Xingji clung desperately to the edge, his face showing a dejection he had never seen before in his life.

"Medicine Dust. Abandoned Child, Ninth Rank".

The two elders of the Medicine Clan looked ashen-faced, trembling as they stared at the sky, their expressions filled with despair.

They knew that from this day forward, the reputation of the Medicine Clan would plummet because of the existence of Elder Medicine.

As for Yao Lao, who was abandoned, he would not be belittled, but would instead gain everyone's approval.

Because Yao Lao did not use any resources from the Yao Clan, did not receive any help from the Yao Clan, and did not even receive any inheritance, but only relied on his own connections and efforts to become a ninth-rank cultivator.
The reason for all of this is that the Medicine Clan is blind!

The thunder lasted for several hours, until the space was completely shattered beyond repair, before it finally dissipated.

Everyone froze in place, unable to breathe for a long time.

The Xuanmu Spirit Platform disappeared.

The entire Danhui Square, spanning thousands of miles, was completely crushed into dust, and a huge void pierced through the earth's core, its bottom impossible to fathom.

At the center of the lightning in mid-air, the girl's slender body became increasingly clear.

"It's done."

At this moment, only deathly silence reigned over Saint Dan City.

Hun Ruoruo flew down, only to see that Yao Lao had already separated from Xiao Yan, and the two figures, one old and one young, had both fallen into a deep sleep.

The only difference was that Xiao Yan was holding a pure white pill floating in his hand, while Yao Lao was holding a book in his arms, as if he was afraid that it would turn into dust under the tribulation.

Gently placing Yao Lao's soul into the storage ring, Hun Ruoruo carried Xiao Yan on her back and opened the long-sealed book.

This is a biography, which seems to have been read many times and is already yellowed.

The calligraphy above is elegant and graceful, seemingly written by a woman. It tells the story of a spirited young man who rose from humble beginnings to win the championship of the Danhui.

This was a product that Xuan Yi had left in her storage ring when she gave Hun Ruoruo the 'Escape Pill', and it was also her lifelong spiritual sustenance.

However, the regretful story that should have ended abruptly after the victory has now been given a new line of small print at the very bottom.

"If only all people in the world were free from illness, why should we care that the medicine on the shelves gather dust?"

——Ninth Rank, Medicine Dust.
