Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 342 Such a Soaring Ascension
Xiao Buyi stared intently at Yun Yi and the auspicious beast Bai Ze on his shoulder.

The tall Dharma image also turned its head slightly, looking down at the Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship, its boundless aura seemingly materializing and rushing towards them.

What does it feel like to have your Qi locked by the Ascension Realm?
Facing the Vajra Dharma Image, Yun Yi had even forgotten to breathe, and couldn't muster the slightest thought of escaping.

It's like a small boat encountering giant waves on the vast East China Sea; there's nothing you can do but quietly wait for the outcome.

The others fared slightly better. They were not suppressed by Xiao Buyi's aura, and the Heavenly Chains were restrained by the Overturning Heaven Pavilion Master, so they were finally able to resume their actions.

Even so, no one dared to make any rash moves.

Yu Wuxia shielded Pei Jianjia behind her, looking at the battlefield behind the Dharma Image with a complicated expression.

Lan Zhenxin dismissed the swarm of insects, summoned a golden toad, and was ready to perform another "golden cicada shedding its shell" at any time.

Wen Daoxian struggled to suppress his trembling hands, having no energy left to think about how to save Tianzhu.

No one has ever seen the Heavenly Dao make a move, and no one has ever seen anyone dare to confront the Heavenly Dao directly and challenge its sharp edge.

Today's events have made those in the Dao Integration Realm deeply aware that there are always people more capable than oneself, and heavens beyond heavens.

On the Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship, the Envoy of Color could no longer withstand the pressure and spat out a mouthful of blood, falling into a coma.

In contrast, Suzaku was still struggling to hold on, trying to withstand Xiao Buyi's pressure and grab Yun Yi, using the Samadhi Flame Release to help him escape.

Unfortunately, the gap in their cultivation levels was insurmountable. Before Zhuque could even touch Yunyi, she suddenly spat out streams of blood mist, forcing her to withdraw and retreat, otherwise she would have been nothing but a skeleton in an instant.

"Waaah." Bai Ze's situation was equally dire; its pride in good fortune was now utterly useless.

Because its opponent did not give it the right to choose, it was unable to select the best option.

It's either death or death; no matter what you choose, you'll die.

Yun Yi endured the pressure alone, and the pain he suffered was indescribable. Even the square sword protecting him kept making "creaking" sounds, not the clear clang of a sword, but the wail of someone about to be crushed by a tremendous force.

He thought to himself that he had planned everything, but he hadn't expected that the never-before-seen Master of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion would make a move today, and that he would even have a way to restrain the Heavenly Dao Chains.

One wrong move,

Total defeat?

……

About half an incense stick's time ago.

Song Xinci in Burial Sword Valley suddenly sensed something and became extremely anxious, as if a great calamity was about to befall him and dark clouds were gathering overhead.

Even though she and Yun Yi had lost the Heart-Connecting Gu, at this moment, images of Yun Yi's tragic deaths inexplicably surfaced in her mind, causing her immense heartache.

"It's okay, maybe I've just been here too long and I'm too lonely."

Song Xinci comforted herself, but her body had unknowingly reached the edge of the courtyard, and she couldn't help but gently touch the barrier left by the Dragon and Phoenix Spirit Locking Array.

"What if he really encounters a huge problem?"

Compared to the battle on the Tianhai Treasure Ship, Song Xinci was experiencing an equally intense internal struggle.

She felt as if there were two opposing voices in her head, each speaking its own mind, driving her almost mad.

Now that she has completely absorbed the memories of her previous life, the more she does so, the more she understands the terror of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion.

Finally, Song Xinci could no longer endure such torment.

She thought to herself that it would be best if Yun Yi was alright; at worst, she could ascend to heaven and part ways with him.

But if he were imprisoned right now and she didn't go to save him, she would regret it for the rest of her life! With this thought in mind, Song Xinci no longer hesitated. With a clear whistle, her figure transformed into a sword light and pierced through the Dragon and Phoenix Spirit Locking Array.

With the formation broken, the pair of dragon and phoenix rings returned to their normal form, jingling and falling to the ground.

Dou Li has been practicing his swordsmanship outside the villa lately, thinking that although he can't talk to his master, he is still doing his best.

He hurriedly picked up Bu Xianxian, looked at the white-clad figure in the air, and anxiously asked, "Master! Where are you going?!"

Song Xinci glanced down at her little apprentice, then looked at her grandfather Qiufeng across the distance, a look of reluctance rising in her eyes.

With her departure, no matter what Yun Yi does, she is destined to say goodbye to them forever.

At the same time, spiritual energy from within a hundred miles of Burial Sword Valley continuously flowed into Song Xinci's body, along with the spiritual energy from the Blissful Sect and the Heavenly Crippled Sect, which were also transported along with the sect's protective formation.

As the "core" of the three sects' land, Song Xinci was absorbing spiritual energy without her conscious mind, and once she started, it was difficult to stop.

Her aura continued to rise, from the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm to the middle stage, then to the late stage, and finally to the peak!
Ascension is just one step away!
Even more terrifying, a cloud of purple-gold tribulation gradually appeared in the sky and landed on Song Xinci's head, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

"Damn it, of all times, I have to undergo this tribulation!"

Logically speaking, once the tribulation begins, the person undergoing it cannot escape, and Song Xinci will be trapped within it.

But now, Song Xinci was concerned about Yun Yi's safety and rushed off to the place that she felt a connection to.

If it were anyone else facing the Heavenly Tribulation, they would definitely need to prepare elixirs and magical treasures to deal with the ninefold heavenly lightning.

Song Xinci made no preparations; she only wanted to see him once.

Her figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star, while the purple-gold tribulation cloud clung to her, accumulating above her head.

As the purple-gold color deepened, thunder rumbled faintly from within the tribulation clouds.

Song Xinci seemed oblivious, as thousands of sword beams burst forth from her body, tearing the clouds along the way into wisps of dust.

The clouds overhead grew thicker and thicker, and at their core, a ball of molten gold-like lightning magma condensed, finally reaching its overflowing point.

With a deafening roar like a dragon's cry, the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck down fiercely!
Strangely, even though the Heavenly Calamity had already begun, Song Xinci was still able to move forward without feeling any resistance.

It is evident that the tribulation she experienced was different from the one experienced by Song Guanglin and Yi Tianxing.

That wasn't the strangest thing. After the tribulation lightning struck Song Xinci, it showed something even more unusual.

Others' tribulations are like bolts of lightning aimed at taking their lives, seemingly wishing to strike the person undergoing the tribulation to death.

Looking at Song Xinci, the lightning strike did not cause her any damage. Instead, it was as if rainwater had merged into a clear pool, silently transforming her into part of the pool's water.

The lightning strike caused no damage, yet it brought no benefits whatsoever.

Thousands of lightning arcs swept across every inch of his skin, then traveled along the meridians of his body to his limbs and bones. In an instant, Song Xinci refined the tribulation lightning into his own source power.

The Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness! There's definitely something fishy about this!

As another bolt of tribulation lightning crashed down and was silently swallowed by her, Song Xinci had already vaguely sensed that there was more to her ascension than met the eye!

But she had no time to think about it at the moment, because the ominous premonition that lingered in her heart was becoming clearer and clearer.

As Song Xinci got closer and closer to Yun Yi, the heavenly tribulation above her head went from the first, the second... to the ninth!
Yun Yi's eyes flickered slightly, because he saw a figure that should never have been there.

His wife actually broke through the clouds and came bathed in tribulation lightning!
