Sword Sect Little Demon Child, Three and a Half Years Old and Extremely Fierce

A jet of purplish-black lightning descended from the sky!

The oppressive aura was so terrifying that the air for miles around seemed to freeze!

Everyone on the sea surface who was still breathing held their breath at the same time.

It was as thick as an ancient tree, and it crashed straight down on my head!

Before I could react, the Nine Heavens Protection Talisman had already flown out automatically.

The twelve talismans formed a circle above my head, creating a golden shield.

The lightning bolt struck the shield with a deafening roar that made my ears ring.

The first talisman cracked immediately, and the cracks quickly spread across the entire talisman.

The second one shattered instantly, turning into tiny golden dust that drifted away in the wind.

The third painting lasted for two breaths, probably because it was painted with spiritual energy.

The fourth one couldn't withstand the pressure and burned to ashes on the spot.

The fifth one exhausted its last bit of spiritual energy and died on the spot.

The remaining seven are fine and still intact, but the golden light on their surfaces has noticeably dimmed.

The aftershocks of the thunderclap spread outwards, and layers of protective barriers in the east, west, south, and north absorbed the force. After each layer of force was absorbed, several rows of reefs on the coastline were still inevitably shattered. The fragments flew into the air and were burned to dust by the aftershocks.

The Guardian Formation on the sea surface trembled, and even the ancient jade bowl of Zen Buddhism at the formation's core shook, with the Sanskrit characters on it flickering.

While guiding the scattered aftershocks of the heavenly lightning towards the array's core to dissipate them, Xie Huanhuan shouted, "Stabilize!"

The elders and Feng Shouchi immediately increased their spiritual energy output!

Suning exclaimed from afar, "Junior Sister's lightning tribulation is still a winning start!"

Yan Chuan chimed in, "Shattering a top-tier protective talisman on the very first strike? Isn't that a bit over the top?"

Murong Zhuo added, "This proves that the power of the thunder... is truly five times stronger! No exaggeration!"

Gu Chenguang made a note: "The start consumed five Nine Heavens Protection Talismans. The cost was approximately 500,000 high-grade spirit stones. I've noted that down."

Shen Qingchen didn't speak, but he tightened his grip on the sword.

My brother didn't say anything, but he took a half step forward.

Wei Cangxuan remained silent, but his expression was serious. He stood as close to my mother as he had, and had even drawn his sword and was holding it in his hand.

I didn't have time to respond to them because I had to focus on drawing lightning into my body.

The aftershocks of the lightning struck me, causing a bit of pain, but I could bear it. After all, my usual medicinal baths and high-intensity body training hadn't been for nothing.

I guided the lightning power into my dantian, where there is a void space called the spiritual sea.

The Chaos Spiritual Root is rooted at the bottom of the Spiritual Sea, like a spiritual tree rooted in the void, with its roots spreading out in all directions of the Spiritual Sea.

The nascent soul floated in mid-air above the spiritual sea, hovering above the phantom of the spiritual root. Its small body had its eyes closed, and a halo of light flowed around it.

The lingering power of the heavenly thunder circled the nascent soul, making it more solid, before settling into the spiritual sea within the dantian.

After the Chaos Spiritual Root merged with this power, the roots extended outward by another inch.

I opened my eyes, glanced at the remaining seven Nine Heavens Protection Talismans, and paused for a moment: "...Five talismans for one bolt of lightning? What happened to the Song family patriarch's promise that 'each one could withstand a blow from a Nascent Soul cultivator'?"

Xiao Hei watched the show from the sidelines: "He said 'resist a blow from a Nascent Soul cultivator,' not 'resist a tribulation from a Nascent Soul cultivator.' Can a blow and a tribulation be the same? One is a slap, the other is a torrential rain."

Me: "...That makes sense."

—The moment the words left his mouth, a second bolt of lightning struck!

Its power is even more ferocious, more volatile, and more unreasonable than the first one!

The remaining seven talismans burned simultaneously, their golden light surging forth to form a thick golden shield above their heads.

The golden shield trembled violently when the lightning bolt struck.

After holding out for three breaths, all seven talismans exploded simultaneously!

Gold dust filled the air, as if someone had scattered a handful of gold powder from the sky.

But the thunder's momentum hadn't subsided, and it hit my shoulder, still hurting.

I gritted my teeth and held on, feeling myself sink a little under the pressure.

Gu Chenguang calmly added to the accounts from a distance: "An additional 700,000 in losses. Today's tribulation expenditure has exceeded one million for high-grade items!"

—The third bolt of lightning followed!

This time, the Suning-branded Tianluo vine soft armor is the highlight. The soft armor grows wildly, with thousands of vines intertwining to form a thick vine armor barrier that is flexible and absorbs force!

The vines shook, stretched, and cushioned the impact of the thunder.

However, this soft armor is only designed to withstand Nascent Soul attacks. Facing a five-fold Divine Transformation Lightning, it truly demonstrates a level of resistance beyond its level!

So he only held on for half a breath.

Click!

All the vines were carbonized, crumbled, and scattered by the wind.

The lightning struck me, and this time it hurt the most.

The piercing pain penetrated my skin and flesh, coursing through my veins, making me gasp for breath.

My mother was about to step forward when I raised my hand to stop her: "I'm fine, Mom."

My mother's hands were clenched tightly, but she stopped.

I closed my eyes and continued to draw the lightning power into my body.

The scalding lightning force poured into my meridians, like hot oil seeping into my bones, causing both numbness and pain.

But I gritted my teeth and endured it, pressing the lightning power into my dantian to allow my nascent soul to continue to be tempered.

—The fourth lightning bolt was thicker and heavier!

The ancient spirit armor given to me by my mother clung tightly to my body, shining brightly, with a layer of bluish-gray light covering my skin.

When the lightning bolt struck, a thin crack appeared on the surface of the spirit armor, but it did not shatter.

And this time it didn't hurt!

Mother's voice drifted over from afar: "The spirit armor can still hold out for one more round, don't waste it."

I nodded obediently, drawing upon the remaining lightning power to slowly cleanse my body and refine my meridians.

The nascent soul in the dantian was repeatedly tempered by the thunder rhyme, becoming more solid and substantial, and the luster of the spiritual root also increased.

—The fifth bolt of lightning struck down on his head!

The ancient spirit armor blocked another attack!

But this time, the fine lines instantly burst and spread, with dense spiderweb-like cracks covering the entire spirit armor.

The ancient treasure, which could once withstand the combined force of several people, has completely exhausted its spiritual power and its patterns have shattered!

But I'm fine; the spirit armor protected my physical body, leaving me completely unharmed.

Lingjia died a martyr's death.

My mother clenched her fists and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank goodness... she managed to protect him."

Bai Jingxin sighed softly, "Even the ancient spirit armor couldn't be preserved; this calamity is truly an unprecedented and ominous one."

Ji Yanci said lazily, "But it's worth it to exchange two Nascent Soul Lightning for a Body Integration Armor."

—The sixth lightning pillar was imbued with the aura of inner demons and tribulations!

The calming glass pendant my mother gave me instantly lit up, its clear light shining on my sea of ​​consciousness, suppressing the illusions of inner demons brought about by the lightning tribulation.

The lightning bolt struck me, and I winced in pain, but my mind remained clear; I wasn't confused at all.

There were no inner demons!

The surface of the glass pendant was shattered, and its luster dimmed a bit, but the core spiritual power was still there, so it wasn't ruined!

I quickly put it away; it can be used again after it's repaired.

Let's start practicing thrift and frugality!

The Zen abbot nodded from a distance: "A steadfast mind on the path is truly commendable."

—The seventh lightning bolt crashed down violently!

The protective seal of Zen Buddhism opens up the barrier of the Dao realm!

Golden light surged from the Dao Seal, forming a semi-transparent circle around me.

When the lightning bolt struck, the ring wobbled, but it didn't shatter or crack!

Products made by Zen masters are indeed of guaranteed quality!

Upon seeing this, the young monk immediately raised his hand and made a wish: "Abbot, may I have a protective amulet for my birthday next year?"

The host patted his head kindly: "Okay."

The young monk said, "Then I need two, one for the Golden Core Tribulation and one as a backup."

The host withdrew his hand: "Let's finish copying the Heart Sutra first."

—The pressure from the eighth lightning pillar was even greater!

The suspended, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual jade, a gift from the Lord of the North Sea, instantly erupted with boundless spiritual energy!

A massive amount of spiritual energy poured into my spiritual sea, and I was instantly invigorated.

Taking advantage of this momentum, he withstood the seventh bolt of lightning!

But enduring it was really painful; a bolt of lightning struck my shoulder, and I felt myself sink down.

My mother gently supported me from afar: "Use lightning to temper your meridians; without destruction, there can be no construction!"

I nodded, focusing my mind to guide the lightning power inch by inch to cleanse my meridians and temper me.

It feels like millions of ants are crawling inside my meridians, it's both itchy and painful.

But I know that if I can get through this, my meridians will become stronger, my nascent soul will become more solid, my spiritual root will become brighter, and my spiritual sea will become deeper!

—The ninth lightning bolt crashed down!

I activated the "Heavenly Treasure for Protecting the Body from Tribulation Lightning" that the unknown sect leader had given me, which was hanging around my neck.

The jade pendant instantly spread out a layer of soft light to protect my vitals.

The lightning bolt struck the soft light, which flickered but did not shatter.

However, the jade pendant's light dimmed a bit, and it's estimated that it can only last for one more ray at most.

—The tenth lightning bolt continues violently!

The protective treasure against the tribulation lightning indeed blocked another one!

However, the soft light barrier shattered, the jade body cracked inch by inch, and finally turned into fine powder that scattered with the wind.

This ancient treasure, specially crafted for those undergoing tribulation, has been passed down through generations of cultivators attempting to transcend tribulation. It is said to be able to withstand the lightning tribulation of the Void Refining stage.

Now, having been blocked twice by the five-times Nascent Soul Tribulation, it can no longer be passed down.

I gazed at the jade dust filling the air and paused for a moment: "...Senior, I'm sorry. You've passed down this lineage for so many generations, but it ended with me."

Xiao Hei: "It's okay, just have them give you another one for your next birthday."

Me: "...You're treating it like a cabbage?"

—The eleventh thunderbolt shook the heavens and the earth!

The fragments of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Mountain and River Scroll unfolded in mid-air, and the power of mountains and rivers enveloped my body!

The illusory images of mountains and rivers unfolded above my head, like a giant painting.

A bolt of lightning struck the painting, causing the mountains and river in the painting to shake and then stabilize.

A bolt of lightning was mostly deflected by the power of the mountains and rivers, and the rest struck me. It hurt, but I'm used to pain, so I can bear it.

Looking at the tattered scroll of mountains and rivers, I thought, "Hmm, it should last for another two rounds."

As expected of one of the few remaining treasures of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

This treasure, which was so poor it wasn't sold, must have something extraordinary about it!

Looking at the tattered scroll of mountains and rivers from afar, Wei Cangxuan said expressionlessly, "That was passed down from our ancestor."

Me: "Sect Leader, do you have any other assets?"

Wei Cangxuan: "That's all."

Me: "Really gone?"

Wei Cangxuan: "...We'll talk about it when we get back."
