Chapter 406: Chapter 276: Tribulation Overcome, Reunion
"Save me, save me quickly!" Fourth Prince Xia Houhong cried out in terror.
His people, all dead, and the ground beneath him continued to sink, in desperation, he tried to seek help from Ye Lingyue and the others in the sky.
Ye Lingyue watched him coldly.
"Ye Lingyue, if you save me, this prince can promise you anything, I’ll make you the Crown Princess Consort, the future Empress."
The Fourth Prince’s words were met with everyone rolling their eyes.
Aguduo muttered a remark.
"Is this guy an idiot?"
Ye Lingyue no longer paid him any attention, and under Aguduo’s command, several spirit birds spread their wings and soared into the sky, looking down from afar at the completely destroyed wetland.
Eventually, Xia Houhong’s voice also disappeared, his dirty body plummeting into a bottomless ravine, never to be heard from again.
Observing the battered wetland, everyone on the spirit birds felt like they had just endured a nightmare.
"Look, that Ninth-grade Spiritual Python."
Their sight fell on the center of the giant pit, amidst the scattering and separating earth, the terribly powerful Reincarnation Power startled the Ninth-grade Spiritual Python, which struggled with its last bit of strength tirelessly.
But the severely injured creature could not withstand the increasingly strong Reincarnation Power.
Continuously, Earth Blades emerged from the ground, and with the Earth Blades, a giant sword condensed from the Golden Power appeared in the sky.
"What exactly is going on? Why is the power of this Reincarnation Tribulation so astonishing?"
Ye Lingyue and the others did not dare to approach the center of the Reincarnation Tribulation.
"If I am not mistaken, this is not an ordinary Reincarnation Tribulation, but a Twin Life Tribulation." Jin Wu Old Monster also marveled.
He himself had experienced the double Reincarnation Fire Tribulation, different from the usual Reincarnation Martial Artists.
Thus, he had some understanding of such abnormal Reincarnation Tribulations.
There are many forms of Reincarnation Tribulations between heaven and earth; gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are just the common attributes of Reincarnation Tribulations.
"This Reincarnation Tribulation likely wasn’t triggered by a single person, but rather two Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists who coincidentally triggered the Reincarnation Tribulation simultaneously. Moreover, the Reincarnation Tribulations of the two people coincidentally are two compatible Reincarnation attributes, gold and earth. Among the Five Elements, earth generates gold, and together, they produce an even more formidable power. That golden Primordial Power Heavenly Sword is the Reincarnation Gold Tribulation, those Earth Blades are the Reincarnation Earth Tribulation." Jin Wu Old Monster explained while silently mourning for that Double-headed Python.
The Double-headed Python had a Water attribute, which under the Five Elements was exactly contradicted by the Earth Reincarnation Tribulation. This gold and earth Twin Life Reincarnation Tribulation was simply the nemesis of the Double-headed Python.
What does Ninth-grade Peak matter? In the face of the terrifying power of heaven and earth, it can only serve as a meat shield.
"Could it be?" Ye Lingyue, surprised and pleased, couldn’t help but look towards the Double-headed Python’s belly.
Boom—An Earth Blade struck right into the belly of the Double-headed Python.
The Earth Power was earth-shattering; the Double-headed Python’s belly was immediately blasted open with a large hole.
Things were late, but happened fast; the Heavenly Sword from the sky cleaved down, the golden sword light, with a brutal sword force, heavily chopped off the head of the Double-headed Python.
The body of the Double-headed Python hovered in the air for a moment.
Following a loud noise, the serpent’s body fell to the ground.
The Twin Life Tribulation of the Reincarnation Tribulation, which lasted for half a day, gradually lost its power.
The dark clouds in the sky parted, and a brilliant sunlight shone on the wetland that was akin to ruins.
It was not until a long time later that Ye Lingyue came back to her senses and had Aguduo quickly descend to the ground.
When she walked up to the Double-headed Python, the snake suddenly moved, startling everyone.
There was a strange noise coming from the snake’s body.
Something was slowly crawling out from the belly of the snake.
All covered in slime and with torn clothes, Ye Huangyu and Nie Fengxing helped each other out of the abdomen of the Double-headed Python.
Her vision blurred momentarily because she hadn’t seen sunlight for a long time.
"Mother."
Ye Huangyu was momentarily stunned when she heard her daughter’s familiar and excited voice.
But the next moment, the strong hands that were supporting her waist squeezed tightly, encouragingly pushing her forward.
The familiar embrace that she could no longer be more familiar with, tightly held her.
At that moment, Ye Huangyu felt she was the happiest person in the world.
Although they had broken through to the Reincarnation Realm, both Ye Huangyu and Nie Fengxing were very weak. On the way back to the military camp, Ye Lingyue learned that her mother and Nie Fengxing had both broken through.
Nie Fengxing reached the Reincarnation Second Realm, while Ye Huangyu, after consuming the Twin Life Spirit Core of the Double-headed Python, forcibly broke through from the Great Primordial Dan Realm to the Reincarnation Second Realm, skipping the Reincarnation First Path and experiencing both the Reincarnation Gold Tribulation and Reincarnation Earth Tribulation simultaneously.
Such an opportunity made Jin Wu Old Monster envious.
"If you’re so envious, why don’t you find a Ninth-grade Peak Spiritual Beast to swallow you and see how it goes?" Aguduo teased.
Jin Wu Old Monster shrank his neck; such things were still not within his luck to enjoy.
Moreover, the reason Ye Huangyu and Nie Fengxing were able to trigger the Twin Life Reincarnation Tribulation was largely due to their steadfast love, having faced the most critical moment together.
Just this courage and determination alone made Jin Wu Old Monster feel inferior.
"The Double-headed Python is slain, and the Fourth Prince is dead. Especially since the Fourth Prince was killed near us, this matter will surely alarm the court. After we return, we likely need to report back at Xia Capital," Nie Fengxing worried about Ye Huangyu’s identity which would surely be exposed once they were at the imperial presence.
He feared Hong Fang would not let matters rest.
"Uncle Nie, that Fourth Prince was not Emperor Xia’s biological son," Ye Lingyue relayed the news she learned earlier to Nie Fengxing.
Since Nie Fengxing and Ye Huangyu were not yet married, Ye Lingyue had to call him uncle.
"Is this true? This is indeed huge news. It seems that Noble Princess Consort Luo had been unfaithful long ago, and she desecrated the royal bloodline. This is a capital offense." As a noble, Nie Fengxing understood better than anyone the importance the royal family placed on lineage.
The illegitimacy of the Fourth Prince meant that Hong Fang and other prominent nobles, including Marquis An Country, who had supported him, would all be implicated.
Especially Hong Residence and An Country Marquis, who had been fully supporting Xia Houhong for many years, the death of the Fourth Prince was undoubtedly a fatal blow, causing their many years of hard work to vanish instantly.
Nie Fengxing was also secretly relieved that his stubborn old man, although old-fashioned, shared political views with Marquis Qinghai and had not interfered in the imperial succession dispute between the Fourth and Sixth Princes.
Once the power of the Reincarnation Tribulation completely dissipated, Ye Lingyue, with the help of others, collected the remains of the Ninth-grade Spiritual Python and they all returned to Qi City.
