Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Someone Is Deliberately Framing Yan Yu!
"I must break through. Only by doing so can I survive in this world, live better, and be... worthy of him."
Yan Yu gritted her teeth, talking to herself, as she refined the elixir within her body.
During this period, she absorbed spiritual energy every day and ate roasted meat from demon beast carcasses, which contained faint spiritual energy.
Finally, the elixir manifested.
She quickly took out a bottle of fifth-grade Spiritual Qi Pills and absorbed and refined all of them, ten in total, which contained immense spiritual energy.
This caused her cultivation level to rise steadily, reaching the peak of the Mahayana Stage.
She then took out her last remaining Tribulation Breaking Pill and swallowed it.
As long as she overcame the thunder tribulation, she could break through to the Tribulation Stage!
She must persevere!
"Ah!"
Yan Yu’s delicate body trembled, and she cried out, as if something inside her was about to burst out, her aura pressure rising to the extreme instantly!
She had already set one foot into the Tribulation Stage!
No, she couldn’t undergo tribulation here; it would destroy the school and implicate others!
Yan Yu thought of this, gritted her teeth, and vanished in a flash.
The next second, she appeared in the sky, sitting cross-legged in the void, looking up directly at the thunder.
"Bring it on!" Yan Yu shouted resolutely, encouraging herself.
The heavenly thunder tribulation seemed to understand and roared in response to her.
The thunder tribulation above her was the largest, spreading across the entire Qin City, even enveloping the tribulations of others.
Because of her tribulation, many people’s thunder tribulations in Qin City disappeared, and they broke through naturally.
"What is that? Such terrifying thunder tribulation, it covers the entire Qin City. After the division, the area now has a diameter of a hundred thousand miles."
"Holy crap, does that mean this thunder tribulation spans a hundred thousand miles?"
"Yes, that direction seems to be where Qin University is, but now it’s become Qin Cultivation University. I’ve heard that the principal is Water Fairy at the Mahayana Stage. Could it be she’s breaking through?!"
"It really could be. Such a powerful being breaking through is terrifying, but it’s normal. This is the thunder tribulation of breaking through the Mahayana Stage. How could it not be grand?"
"What grandeur? It’s not even certain if she’ll succeed. You know how terrifying the following thunder tribulations are; it could lead to death at any moment."
"In that case, if Water Fairy fails to break through, won’t she be killed by the thunder tribulation, falling to ruin?"
"Yes, it would be such a pity if that really happened."
Many people guessed it was Water Fairy undergoing the tribulation at Qin University, where the thunder tribulation was densest.
They were all worried about whether Water Fairy could successfully overcome the tribulation.
This was the tribulation for breaking through to the Tribulation Stage, completely different from the Foundation Establishment Stage’s breakthrough to Golden Core’s tribulation.
The two were incomparable.
Even a slight touch of this thunder tribulation would cause their soul to scatter, and even their Divine Soul would be annihilated.
Such a strong figure, many still hoped she wouldn’t fall.
Now, as the world approached its end, the loss of a strong figure meant the loss of strength.
...
"Not good, Yan Yu is undergoing tribulation!" Li Zhen saw the thunder tribulation above Qin University using his Divine Sense.
Upon hearing this, all team members at work turned to look at Li Zhen.
Vice Minister Yan is undergoing tribulation?
Doesn’t that mean she’s about to break through to the Tribulation Stage?!
Instantly, Li Zhen’s figure disappeared, and many Golden Core cultivators also vanished, following him.
...
With sudden changes in wind and rain, the sky over Qin University was crowded with people.
Chen Lan stood on the rooftop, looking around, discovering hundreds of people standing in the sky, all watching Yan Yu.
Perhaps waiting for Yan Yu to break through.
Or perhaps, secretly cursing her.
At the Qin Capital Branch, a mid-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator watched Yan Yu floating cross-legged in the air, eyes full of anticipation and excitement.
Inwardly, he kept praying for Yan Yu to fail the breakthrough.
If Yan Yu failed, he, as the only Divinity Transformation in the department, would surely replace her as Vice Minister.
But before that, he couldn’t show it, so he looked at Li Zhen and pretended to be worried, "Minister, shouldn’t we go help share the thunder tribulation?"
"Are you an idiot? Thunder tribulation can’t be shared!" Li Zhen questioned and scolded.
Looking at that cultivator as if looking at a fool.
Thunder tribulation cannot be shared; once there are many people, its power will only grow stronger.
If it could be shared, everyone could share a little bit, and anyone could overcome the tribulation successfully.
Going over to share now would be seeking death and would cause Yan Yu to fail her tribulation.
"Sorry, I forgot." The man scratched his head, awkwardly smiled, and retreated to the back.
He looked at Yan Yu with increasingly sinister eyes.
Yan Yu, oh Yan Yu, you must die here, don’t succeed.
The human heart varies, and no one knows.
...
Looking at the thunder tribulation in the sky, Yan Yu’s heart had reached extreme tension, anxious and uneasy.
She feared she wouldn’t make it, seeing neither her family nor that partner.
The thunder tribulation had already condensed to its limit, countless thunders like serpents coiled among the clouds, ready to strike at any moment.
Boom!
As Yan Yu waited intently, a thunderbolt struck down at great speed, almost catching her off guard.
The lightning struck Yan Yu firmly, and she emitted a soft cry.
Everyone quickly looked at Yan Yu, some covering their mouths in shock, others remaining calm, while some eyes gleamed with glee.
However, the first thunder tribulation was simple, not even tearing Yan Yu’s clothes, which remained intact.
"Not bad, bring it on!" Yan Yu shouted.
The earlier thunder strike only had the power of the Golden Core, which she could withstand.
Seemingly angered by Yan Yu’s voice, the thunder tribulation’s roaring intensified.
Boom!
Another thunderbolt struck, Yan Yu clenched her teeth, struggling to endure.
"Bring it on!"
This already had the power of the Nascent Soul!
Boom boom!
Two consecutive thunderbolts struck, Yan Yu spitting blood suddenly, propping herself in the void, her figure swaying unsteadily.
Those two lightning strikes had the strength of the Divinity Transformation!
"I can still go, bring it on!" Yan Yu shouted.
Boom boom boom!
Three thunderbolts struck simultaneously.
Pfft!
Yan Yu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell, and everyone thought she couldn’t hold on.
Luckily, she stopped mid-air, trembling as she stood up, pale-faced, blood trickling from the mouth, miserably shouting, "Come, I must break through to the Tribulation Stage today!"
Boom!
This time, the thunder tribulation was utterly enraged, as a Thunder Dragon descended from the sky, roaring towards Yan Yu.
It directly pierced through her body, slamming her hard to the ground.
Bang!
Yan Yu fell heavily to the ground, her clothes tattered, body scorched in many places, aura weak, her vitality unstable, on the brink of death!
But now, only the final thunder tribulation remained!
She couldn’t give up!
She had to break through!
"Vice Minister Yan, don’t be afraid, I’m here to share it with you!"
