"This level of lightning tribulation..." Yu Zhibo watched the purple lightning pillars with shock, swallowing his saliva.
Even though they were tens of thousands of miles apart, he could still feel the terrifying power of heaven and earth. Lightning of that magnitude could obliterate him, a cultivator at the Soul Transformation stage, body and soul.
Bai Yinchen, who had revealed her celestial fox form, bore a striking resemblance to Bai Chanyi's celestial fox body, sharing the same red eyeshadow. However, a purple flame pattern adorned her brow. Her fur was pure white and holy, a stark contrast to the dark and gloomy world.
The moment the terrifying purple lightning pillar struck, Bai Yinchen let out a colossal roar, scattering the lightning with her cry.
The lightning, which could have easily killed a Void Returning expert, dissipated into shimmering purple specks. But this was only the first strike.
Lightning serpents writhed in the gloomy sky, soon brewing a second purple heavenly tribulation lightning. This time, the lightning transformed into a lifelike Qilin, its eyes shining as if imbued with life.
Roar~
With a force thousands of times greater than when Yu Zhibo unleashed Lightning Style: Qilin, the purple heavenly tribulation lightning Qilin leaped from the thunderclouds. In an instant, the void shattered, and chaotic energy surged, ultimately coalescing into a dazzling sea of purple lightning that swept out in all directions.
The visual effect was akin to hundreds of hydrogen bombs, each exceeding 400,000 tons, detonating simultaneously on the somber earth, gouging it thousands of meters deep.
Yu Zhibo was certain that if such a terrifying lightning tribulation were to occur on Earth, the entire planet would likely disintegrate in an instant, turning into dust in the vast expanse of the cosmos.
However, this was, after all, a realm nexus located in chaos, where both space and laws were more stable.
Thus, the power of such a fearsome lightning tribulation was confined to an area of several thousand miles. Yet, even so, it was enough to inspire awe.
So, what of Bai Yinchen, who was beneath such a terrifying lightning tribulation?
Yu Zhibo peered intently, observing purple arcs of electricity dancing across Bai Yinchen's body. She was continuously emitting an extremely profound and obscure Dao aura.
She had endured the lightning tribulation, not only unharmed but with every strand of her fur becoming more resilient, as if tempered by a blacksmith's hammer. The flame pattern on her brow pulsed with an even deeper purple.
The lightning tribulation continued.
Lightning descended incessantly from the sky, manifesting as thousands-of-feet-long Tengshe, the terrifying Zhujiuyin, or the ferocious Zhu Yan, along with various other ancient fierce beasts and divine beasts, engulfing Bai Yinchen.
A day and a night passed, and the lightning tribulation began to wane.
From its brewing to its descent and annihilation, there were a total of eighty-one lightning tribulations, which ravaged the area around Bai Yinchen. The once flat ground had transformed into a bottomless abyss spanning ten thousand miles.
At this moment, Bai Yinchen no longer possessed her initial radiant beauty. She appeared exceptionally disheveled.
Her originally snow-white body had patches of charred flesh, particularly around her lower right ribs, which had been completely annihilated, revealing her beating heart.
Half of her head had been cleaved open, with only a sliver of fur connecting it to her face.
But she had ultimately endured it and was now ushering in a new beginning.
From her battered body, a faint yet incredibly vigorous life force began to surge rapidly, and her injuries started to heal at a visible pace.
Flesh and blood continuously writhed on her riddled body, replacing the scorched and necrotic tissues. She flung away the shattered half of her head, and bone, blood, and even brain matter began to regrow. Damaged tissues were shed from her body.
Finally, her entire form exploded outwards, and from the dilapidated husk, a more majestic and pure white celestial fox leaped forth, letting out a deafening roar towards the sky.
"Roar~"
The sound waves rippled outwards like an invisible tidal wave. In the next moment, a void gate opened, and boundless immortal energy poured down like a torrential river, which her new body greedily absorbed.
The realm nexus lacked immortal energy, making the appearance of this gate exceptionally abrupt. However, it was a manifestation of the unique spiritual cultivation of a Mahayana stage cultivator, operating on a completely different level than ordinary beings' creation ex nihilo.
No wild chaotic creature dared to covet Bai Yinchen's fortune at this moment. The residual power of the heavenly tribulation still lingered. At this instant, Bai Yinchen was the protagonist of this realm nexus.
Boom, boom, boom!
The immortal energy surged like a tide, being absorbed by Bai Yinchen. Simultaneously, the chaotic laws of this world were drawn to the Dao aura emanating from her body, converging towards her like stars surrounding the moon.
Bai Yinchen, in her snow-white celestial fox form, closed her eyes as if in slumber, but the energy fluctuations within her grew increasingly potent, repairing and transforming the essence of her life and soul.
Three days later, as Bai Yinchen's aura enveloped the entire realm nexus, causing countless hidden beings to tremble, she abruptly reined in her power, becoming incredibly ethereal.
The snow-white fox erupted with boundless radiance, illuminating the entire realm nexus. Then, the brilliance receded, and finally, a white-haired, red-eyed maiden clad in a resplendent moon-white immortal gown appeared before all beings. Her fair jade feet trod upon the void, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.
Seemingly noticing Yu Zhibo's awestruck gaze, Bai Yinchen's rosy lips curved into a captivating smile. With a slight wave of her sleeve, she traversed hundreds of thousands of miles of space, appearing before Yu Zhibo in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yinchen playfully winked at him, her voice filled with charm, maturity, magnetism, and calm—a quintessential mature woman's voice: "Brother-in-law, do you have any insights after witnessing your second sister's breakthrough?"
"Is this the power of the Mahayana stage?" Yu Zhibo was inwardly shaken.
Bai Yinchen had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles to reach him instantly, as if she had completely merged with this chaotic space, or perhaps was on the verge of transcending it. There was no warning whatsoever.
In response to Bai Yinchen's question, Yu Zhibo swallowed and gave her a thumbs-up, his myriad thoughts distilled into a single word: "Mighty!"
Bai Yinchen smiled charmingly and lightly tapped Yu Zhibo's brow with her fair jade finger, saying with a smile, "Go do what you need to do. Remember to bring my father and mother to see me after you're finished!"
"Ah?"
Before Yu Zhibo could react, his mind suddenly jolted, and he was enveloped by an invisible energy.
A strange sensation arose. At this moment, he felt as if the surrounding laws and space had become incredibly intimate, as if he could merge with them at any moment.
It was a peculiar feeling, as if he had become part of the surrounding air, laws, and energy. In other words, his presence had become extremely faint.
Bai Yinchen explained, "It's just a minor Heaven Deceiving Technique. While it's not as exaggerated as directly inscribing the Heaven Deceiving formation patterns, it should at least allow you to enter Earth smoothly. With your current strength, resolving all the hidden dangers on Earth shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Finish your business, then bring my father and mother, and my third brother to see me!"
"I understand, thank you, Second Sister!" Yu Zhibo grinned, anticipation in his eyes.
He had longed to return to Earth for a long time.
Bai Yinchen smiled and said, "We're family, no need to be so formal."
Yu Zhibo nodded slightly, and with a thought, he appeared before the entrance of a spatial wormhole in the Eternal Night World.
At the wormhole entrance, spiritual light energy surged forth from Earth, attracting the covetous gazes of countless dark beasts. However, Yu Zhibo's pupils widened, and his terrifying mental power swept out, annihilating all these beasts attempting to invade Earth.
Then, he slowly, tentatively, extended his right arm into the wormhole.
Instantly, a terrifying sense of crisis descended, a deterrence originating from the Grand Constellation Array in the starry sky.
It was precisely this deterrence that prevented Earth from being invaded and destroyed by S-class creatures within the Eternal Night World.
At this moment, the buff Bai Yinchen had given him took effect, allowing him to evade the defense mechanisms of the Grand Constellation Array.
Furthermore, Earth's space no longer felt as fragile as pricked bubbles.
Yu Zhibo's lips curved slightly. He withdrew his hand from the wormhole, sensed it briefly, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from his original position.
