Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 435 Adulthood 4
The inky black tribulation clouds, even denser than ordinary black, reminded Jiang Yuxi of a legend in the cultivation world.

When an object that does not belong to this world appears in a small world, the laws of heaven and earth will unleash a world-destroying lightning tribulation to completely annihilate the object.

The so-called "things" can be people, monsters, spirit beasts, divine beasts, or even immortals... Everything can be a "thing"—something that should not appear or exist here.

The world-destroying lightning tribulation has nine as its extreme.

The "rules" will unleash one to nine bolts of heavenly lightning based on the power of the "object".

Jiang Yuxi's teeth were chattering.

She was 70% confident she would succeed in the Purple Gold Lightning Tribulation.

Faced with the world-destroying lightning tribulation, she was considering leaving on her own ahead of time.

At least the way I chose to be carried was more comfortable.

But she thought of Frederick and Hilcher, with whom she had a soul contract.

She died, and they could not survive either.

No beastman can defy the power of Heaven's Way, nor can they withstand the world-destroying lightning tribulation under its rules.

From ancient times to the present, not a single person has ever done so.

The inner demon tribulation had not yet occurred, but at this moment it seemed as if she was undergoing an inner demon tribulation.

Until she was embraced by a warm hug.

"Don't be afraid, no matter life or death, we will always be together."

It's Frederick.

She stared at Frederick with teary eyes, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.

She wanted to apologize to Frederick.

She also wanted to tell him that she was the one who had dragged them down. Because she wasn't the original Jiang Yuxi, the "rules" believed she shouldn't exist.

That's why he unleashed a terrifying lightning tribulation, intending to obliterate her soul.

He and Hilcher suffered because of her undeserved misfortune.

Hilcher stood beside her without saying a word, but simply released his spiritual form.

The little golden lion jumped onto Jiang Yuxi's shoulder and kept rubbing its fluffy little head against her cheek, silently comforting her.

Jiang Youan: "Principal Xixi, don't be afraid, An'an is here, An'an is with you!"

Jiang Yuxi pushed them, urging them to hurry up.

Frederick and Hilcher stayed because they had signed a soul pact with her: no matter where she fled, if she died under the lightning, the two of them would be reduced to ashes.

So there's no need to run away or not.

But they are different.

As long as you leave the range of the lightning tribulation, you will be fine.

But none of the three were willing to move.

Perez: "Don't be afraid, little sister. Your brother, Director Xixi, will definitely protect you this time. Even if it tries to chop you up, it will chop me up first."

Essen: "Wrong, wrong. Whether it's being chopped or dying, I'll be the one to go first!"

Little princess, don't be afraid. Didn't you want to be the queen of the mermaids before?
After this tribulation, Grandpa Essen will unite with the princes of the clan, as well as Karel, to overthrow your brother, Perez, from the throne.

Essen became more and more excited as he spoke: "Don't be fooled by Karel's loyalty to your brother, he has actually been plotting against him for a long time. He has complained more than once behind Perez's back about how Perez always deducts his bonuses."

Karel is a big spender; his monthly base salary of several million star coins is simply not enough to cover his expenses.

For the sake of star coins, he had to bow his proud head and reluctantly take on the part-time position of guard commander, and now he even had the idea of ​​taking on another part-time job...

Other princes also said that your brother is not lovable at all, cold and aloof, and they've disliked him for a long time. Perfect timing…”

Jiang Yuxi finally burst out laughing.

Karel, that taciturn mermaid, could have such a rich and colorful inner world?
Moreover, is Perez's brother such a mermaid king?

Does he really enjoy withholding his subordinates' bonuses?

Seeing that her mood had improved, Shi Yuan said, "Cheer up. So what if you get struck by lightning? It's not like you've never been struck before."

You are a citizen of my empire, and it is my duty to protect your life!

Also, that idiot Jiang Youan put some kind of love spell on your body and mine, and it's said that if you die, I'll be buried with you.

"I, the Crown Prince, have not yet inherited the throne. Together with my grandfather, I have transformed the empire into an unprecedentedly powerful nation. I cannot die."

A love spell?
Jiang Yuxi was shocked.

Before she could ask Jiang Youan what was going on, she sensed that the energy accumulation of the heavenly lightning was about to end.

At the same time, she also vaguely sensed that there was only one cataclysmic lightning tribulation.

It is the result of the confrontation and weighing of the consciousness of the Way of Heaven and the "rules".

The consciousness of Heaven requires Jiang Yuxi to exist.

The "rules" considered her an "object" that should not exist.

The final "discussion result" was that the world-destroying lightning tribulation could be struck, but only once.

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and viscous, and the black lightning within them resembled a cold, venomous snake.

Perez: "Only one bolt of lightning?"

Essen: "It doesn't seem like there's no chance of winning."

Frederick: "Since none of you want to leave, then you should prepare yourselves."

The group of people spontaneously transformed into beast forms.

Jiang Yuxi is most familiar with Shi Yuan or Jiang You'an's white tiger beast form.

Even after regaining its adult size, it's still just a proportionally enlarged version of itself, a big, chubby guy whose every move reveals a憨憨 (simple and honest) quality in Jiang Yuxi's mind.

The poor, majestic white tiger, which other beastmen need to muster courage to even look at, was treated by Jiang Yuxi as an adorable, fluffy creature.

The little lion on her shoulder nuzzled Jiang Yuxi's face one last time before transforming into a golden light and rushing into Hilcher's brow.

The Elwin family has always been known as the Golden Family by the orcs, and its members are all golden or yellow lions.

When Hilcher transformed into a lion, his fur was a dazzling gold, rather than the golden yellow most common in the Elwynn family.

If it weren't for the golden lion's smooth, flowing mane and lively eyes, one would suspect it was made of pure gold.

Even under the dim, ominous clouds, it shone brightly, giving people a strong sense of power and majesty.

Noticing Jiang Yuxi's gaze on him, even the composed and indifferent Hilcher couldn't help but subtly twitch his lion body, trying to make his fur more fluffy and to make himself look more like the fluffy image she liked.

Essen is a purple-tailed mermaid. When he transforms into his beast form, even the fine lines on his face seem to disappear, and he becomes like a drawn sword.

But when he smiled, that aura vanished instantly, and he became kind and approachable.

"Little princess, don't underestimate Grandpa Essen just because he's only a doctor. When he was young, he was a very famous warrior!"

Our sea tribe's tradition dictates that all males in our tribe are responsible for their assigned roles, and upon reaching adulthood, they all undergo unified military training to ensure the sea tribe can be deployed to the battlefield in times of crisis. This is also the key to our sea tribe's enduring prosperity for thousands of years.

Isn't this just a space-themed version of universal conscription?

incredible.

To her surprise, the mermaid king Perez's beast form was the same deep blue as hers.
The color just doesn't seem as dazzling as hers?
Could it be that Perez's brother is also a merman, rather than a mermaid?
But the Merfolk race gave birth to the merfolk?

What is this concept?
Orc mythology from the interstellar era?
Or is it evolution?
In his merman form, Perez does not have scale-shaped markings on his forehead.

The scales between their eyebrows are a unique mark of the merman royal family.

The birth of a merman royal family can be innate or acquired through hard work.

It's just a routine process of cleansing the marrow and refining the bloodline, a return to ancestral cultivation.

Jiang Yuxi glanced again at Perez's bare brow. Perez smiled and said, "Brother and Xixi have the same color; it's a sign of our close blood relationship~"

No, this is clearly the "uniform skin" of the Merfolk, only the shades of color vary.

Looking at Perez's smiling face, Jiang Yuxi made up her mind that if she could survive the tribulation, she would urge her brother to study so that he could also grow into royalty as soon as possible.

However, Frederick, who had prepared everyone well in advance, was the last to transform into his beast form.

Before the transformation, he said, "Don't look at me, my beast body is crippled. It's ugly." It was because of this that he was kidnapped and sent to the mine when he was a child, where even the lowest-ranking beastmen discriminated against and bullied him.

Although he believed that his beast form was stronger than those beastmen who looked down on him, and he did not think that his beast form was inferior to others, the way others looked at him as a monster annoyed him.

Therefore, what he dislikes most is transforming into beast form.

Even though his strength in beast form is a hundred times greater than in human form.

Disability? I see.

No wonder Frederick never mentions his race or his beast form.

Jiang Yuxi prepared herself mentally so that when she saw Frederick in his beast form, she could comfort him immediately.

But after the crimson light passed before her eyes, what did she see?
A colossal beast that seemed to be perched at the edge of the world.

Crimson scales covered Qianli's body, each scale resembling a hardened block of molten lava, gleaming with a lava-like luster.

Beneath the clouds of calamity, its body meandered and coiled, resembling a crimson mountain range stretching across the sea and sky.

The colossal beast coiled on the sea surface, giving the impression that it was going to rival the lightning tribulation in the sky.

The mane that should have been on its neck was nowhere to be seen. Only a few thick reverse scales protruded upwards, extending all the way down its back until the tail turned into a sharp bone spike. Wherever it swept, even the air seemed to be torn apart.

Their beastly forms seemed insignificant and trivial in his presence.

Jiang Yuxi's breath hitched.

Its entire body is crimson red, covered with thick scales, and it stretches for thousands of miles. Its eyes are straight and upright.

The interstellar orcs call this a disability?

What look?
She also wants to be disabled!
Under Jiang Yuxi's utterly shocked gaze, Frederick awkwardly and secretly hid his only claw.

Jiang Yuxi noticed his movement as soon as he moved.

A quick glance confirmed it.

It is one foot.

Jiang Yuxi had to use all her strength to control herself and not reveal her ugly jealousy.

Forget about comforting her, Frederick should be the one comforting her!

Thinking this, Jiang Yuxi hugged a thick scale and gave it a kiss, saying sincerely, "Beautiful!"

Then, she immediately activated the contract within her body, and instantly her exposed skin appeared as if it were covered with thick, crimson scales.

When it comes to defense, none of those present are stronger than Frederick, who is "crippled in his beastly form".

No, it seems like attacks are one too.

The black lightning tribulation has finally completed its charging.

A massive, dark bolt of lightning, thicker than any before, descended.

Is this the cataclysmic lightning tribulation?

Unlike the previous massive lightning tribulations, the world-destroying lightning tribulation was completely silent when it actually struck.

An aura of annihilation enveloped Frederick and his companions.

It didn't resemble lightning; it was more like a pillar of light filled with corrosive energy.

Within the pillar of lightning, Frederick's beast form, being the largest, was the one on the outermost edge and melted away the fastest.

The scales, which could swim freely in the molten lava without being damaged, are now tattered and broken.

The same was true for the other beasts; only Jiang Yuxi, covered in several layers of "armor," looked somewhat better.

Of course, that's just what it looks like.

She was the primary target of the lightning tribulation.

The inner demon tribulation that should have appeared during the final heavenly lightning of the previous Purple Gold Lightning Tribulation also appeared during this tribulation.

Jiang Yuxi is trapped in her inner demon tribulation, repeating her past fate time and time again. In her inner demon tribulation, there is no interstellar rebirth, no Frederick, no merfolk... She dies and is reborn again in the endless cycle of lightning tribulations...

Other lightning tribulations are calculated by the number of strikes, and once they're all gone, they're over. But the world-destroying lightning tribulation is different; it's calculated by the amount of energy.

As long as the energy remains, the lightning pillar will continue until anything that shouldn't have appeared is destroyed.

The problem is that the World-Destroying Lightning Tribulation is still absorbing the energy between heaven and earth.

Although their various attacks consumed some of the lightning tribulation's energy, it was still a drop in the ocean.

The flesh and blood of the group had already begun to dissolve, followed by the bones...

Just as they were about to perish, seven beams of light suddenly emerged from their bodies, piercing through the boundless silence and darkness...

To be precise, they emerged from the bracelet on Jiang Yuxi's wrist, the golden lion, the male merman, and the white tiger...

----------

At the same time, on the Imperial Star, Phil, who was sleeping, seemed to be trapped in a nightmare.

Phil transformed into his beast form, muttering incoherent, tearful murmurs.

"Meow, no!"

"We need Principal Xixi..."

"do not die……"

"Principal Aye...bad bug, An'an, don't die..."

"Teacher Yi-Yi, Teacher Hilcher, don't sleep, don't..."

"VIP customer, let's go..."

"Explosion! Run!"

Phil's crying in his sleep woke up the other cubs.

They all gathered around Phil's bedside, trying to wake him.

But to everyone's surprise, Phil, who is usually alert, was impossible to wake up this time.

"Waaah, Principal Xixi, Phil is in so much pain, please help me..."

"...Where is Principal Xixi? Everyone is in so much pain..."

"Woooo..."

"Headmistress Xixi, we're here, we're here..."

No matter how much they called, Phil didn't wake up from his sleep.

He didn't open his swollen, walnut-like eyes until he seemed to have had a good sleep or finished his nightmare.

Upon seeing his friend, Phil's tears started falling again.

It stopped abruptly the next second.

I cried too much in my sleep, and my eyes are burning.

Leo asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are your nightmares scary?"

Not only him, but the other cubs were also very curious, as they rarely saw Phil crying so hard.

Phil sobbed, trying hard to hold back his tears so as not to "add insult to injury."

"I had a really scary dream..."
