Chapter 172 - Long Meili's Tribulation Lightning

Among Jiu Shen’s subordinates, the coldest and most unapproachable was certainly Theia. He had never seen that kind of look from her ever since she was summoned by the system to serve him, so he felt a bit worried. He wondered just what kind of painful experience had she gone through in her past life for such a tough woman like her to cry just like that.

"System, could you tell me anything about Theia’s past life?" Jiu Shen muttered as he blocked the one hundred meter radius around Theia. He didn’t want anyone else to see Theia in that state, so he could only do this for her.

The system remained silent and didn’t answer Jiu Shen’s question, but a moment later, the system’s voice echoed inside Jiu Shen’s head. Strangely though, there was a tinge of imperceivable emotion in its mechanical voice.

"Host, everyone’s life is predetermined by fate. If you’re destined to meet someone, then even death can’t stop it..."

Jiu Shen didn’t understand why the system had spoken such words, and even with his lifetime of knowledge and comprehension, he could still not fathom the meaning behind those words. However, he could feel that if his heart realm was at the fourth level, he might be able to somehow understand the system’s words, but as of the moment, Jiu Shen was incapable of doing this.

That was how important the heart realm was to a cultivator. The higher the attainment in one’s heart realm, the easier it is for someone to understand the complexity and intricacies of the universe. Aside from that, a cultivator with high attainment in the heart realm will experience fewer bottlenecks in cultivation, making their progress much faster than most.

With a blank look, Jiu Shen suddenly thought about the dragon girl that he had tamed some time ago. It has been a while since he had given her some healing pills and cultivation resources. She should be about to break through to the Nascent God Realm once again. Aside from that, it was also time for him to refine the World Heart of the Spirit World and become its Deity.

Thinking about that, Jiu Shen immediately communicated with the system. "System, open the Spirit World for me."

Om!

A two-meter tall door suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Jiu Shen stared at the door with a calm look as he tried so hard to ignore the fact that it was made from a Celestial Tree.

Jiu Shen pushed the door open and immediately went to the island where he had left the dragon girl.

With his current strength, he now had a much better control in manipulating the element of space, so he arrived on the island in just less than ten minutes.

"I can sense the little lizard, Long Meili. Oh! It seems like she’s trying to summon her tribulation lightning. Looks like she’s already been trying to break through to the Nascent God Realm for several days. With her current progress, it’s only a matter of time before her tribulation lightning will descend. Not bad!" Jiu Shen muttered as he teleported near Long Meili’s direction.

He saw the huge dragon on top of a mountain with countless toppled trees around her. There were also huge cracks and shattered boulders on the surface of the mountain. Jiu Shen didn’t know why Long Meili had caused such massive damage to the mountain, but he guessed that the dragon girl might have been feeling anxious at her incoming tribulation lightning...

Roaarrrr!!

Long Meili issued an earth-shaking roar that shook the entire mountain, causing countless huge boulders and stones to break into pieces. Jiu Shen could also sense that her tribulation lightning was about to descend.

"System, if I face my next tribulation lightning here in the Spirit World, could I use my ability as the Deity of the Spirit World to weaken my tribulation lightning?" Jiu Shen suddenly asked. The system told him some time ago that if he could refine the Spirit World’s World Heart, then he would become the Deity of the Spirit World. So he thought that if he could use the ability of a Deity, then even if he faced the God Exterminating Divine Eye once again, wouldn’t his next tribulation lightning be as easy as eating rice?

- Ding!

- Host, the tribulation lightning is something that is governed by a different set of rules. It is something that maintains the balance of the multiverse... If you decide to break through in this Spirit World as its Deity, your tribulation lightning will be much fiercer and deadlier. Host, I suggest facing the tribulation lightning outside of the Spirit World for your next breakthrough.

The system’s words was like a bucket of cold water which instantly made Jiu Shen erase his previous thoughts of breaking through inside this Spirit World.

"Well, it looks like I can’t cheat my way up." Jiu Shen muttered in a self-mocking tone. He then focused his attention on the huge dragon that emitted thunderous roars from time to time.

Suddenly, the sky above the Spirit World parted and a cluster of purple clouds appeared, bringing along with it several dozens of pale purple thunderbolts. Although it was a lot weaker compared to the crimson thunderbolts that struck Jiu Shen in his tribulation lightning, the streaks of purple lightning above were by no means weak. After all, Long Meili was still a dragon descendant, so her tribulation lightning was still stronger than the normal tribulation lightning of an average cultivator.

Zapp!

A bolt of purple lightning suddenly came down, painting the sky with a purplish hue.

Long Meili let out an enraged roar as she faced the incoming lightning with rage.

Roaaarrr!!

This was the tribulation lightning that made her fail many times in transcending the boundaries of mortality. How could she not be enraged with it?

A dragon descendant that failed her tribulation for a number of times, if this was known by the god beasts in the Primordial God Realm, then she would surely become a laughingstock.

This time, she consumed the Earth Origin Dragon Fruit which made her more confident. Not to mention that she also had the Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon that her mysterious master gave her.

Raising her dragon head, Long Meili glared at the purple clouds above while emitting fumes of grey smoke from her nose.

Baaangg!

The purple lightning struck her body, but Long Meili didn’t flinch as she continued to glare at the sky as if she couldn’t wait to spit a breath of flames towards it.

The ground beneath Long Meili shattered from the devastating power produced by the bolt of purple lightning, and the toppled trees near her turned into ashes.

Roaarrr!!!

Long Meili issued a taunting draconic cry as if she was unsatisfied by the power of the purple streak of lightning.

Looking at this scene, Jiu Shen smiled unknowingly. He didn’t think that this dragon that submitted to him actually have such guts to taunt her tribulation lightning. "To think that this little lizard is actually as crazy as me. Interesting."

Multiple bolts of purple lightning streak towards Long Meili as if they wanted to burn her body into ashes.

Hmph!

Facing this, Long Meili snorted as she spat a scorching ball of fire that was almost as big as the mountain that she was stepping on.

Roaarr!!!

Her attack managed to destroy those bolts of lightning!

Long Meili whipped her tail in excitement when she saw how strong her attack had become. This was the effect of eating the Earth Origin Dragon Fruit that was given to her by her master! It enhanced her draconic abilities by quite a margin!

Zaapp! Zaapp! Zaapp!!

This time, dozens of purple lightning bolts came down from the sky as it wanted to cleave the heavens apart.

Long Meili’s beastly eyes flashed with a trace of seriousness and she immediately spurted another breath of scorching ball of flames. However, it only managed to block less than ten bolts of lightning, while the rest continued to streak towards Long Meili’s body.

Baaaanngg!!!

Baaaanngg!!!

The mountain she was stepping on was split apart and the ground beneath her turned black like charcoal.

Long Meili’s huge body trembled as more than several dozens of lightning bolts struck her body with devastating might!

Baaannggg!!

Baaaanng!!!

She then spat several mouthfuls of blood as she used her true essence to shield her internal organs, but because of the sheer strength from the lightning bolts, she still sustained substantial amounts of internal injuries which made her body feel light and numb.

Her knees almost caved in, but as prideful as she was, Long Meili forced herself to remain standing as she cried out.

Roaaarrrr!!!

She spurted another mouthful of blood as the bolts of purple lightning continued to smite her body. Quite a number of long and deeps gushes covered her huge body, drenching Long Meili with her own blood.

Her knees trembled and her body swayed as she felt that she was almost losing her consciousness.

Just then, she muttered the mantra of the Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon which immediately stirred her draconic bloodline.

A strong and overpowering aura of a dragon descendant surged out as Long Meili’s hidden potential was being utilized.

The pain she was feeling suddenly vanished and all she could feel was the warm current passing through her body and then down to her dantian, strengthening her cultivation on the process.

Even after the last bolt of purple lightning pounded her body like a sledgehammer, she appeared to be unaffected as she focused her senses on the changes happening inside her dantian.

A bright ray of light suddenly covered her body, but Jiu Shen could still see what was happening to Long Meili with the help of his enhanced vision. His pair of golden eyes stared at the transformation happening to Long Meili.

"This little lizard didn’t let me down..."
