Chapter 553: 553
On this day, Gu Ning was sipping tea on a mountain peak within the territory of Blood Mist Pavilion.
She looked serene, showing no signs of emotional fluctuations.
It was as if she was one with this piece of heaven and earth, extremely tranquil.
However, while sipping her tea, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she looked up to the sky to notice a dark cloud appearing out of nowhere.
The dark cloud started off light, barely noticeable, but extremely prominent amidst the blue sky and white clouds.
Before Gu Ning could react, the dark cloud began to spread rapidly at a terrifying speed.
To boot, in less than two minutes, the entire dark cloud was about to engulf the entire area of the Blood Mist Pavilion!
Unprecedented pressure descended, and even Gu Ning felt her heart trying to leap out of her chest at the sight of the dark cloud.
A thought kept exploding in her mind.
Flee, run away!
It was as if she’d die here the next second if she didn’t escape!
Gu Ning’s face was full of shock, she immediately stood up and focused her gaze into a small courtyard far away.
“Impossible… him, special sure, but…”
Gu Ning murmured.
At this moment, a white crane suddenly appeared beside Gu Ning, its expression extremely grave.
“How is it?” Gu Ning looked at the white crane.
The crane glanced at the ever-expanding dark cloud in the sky, its face growing even more grave.
“Leave, let everyone leave,” the white crane said in a flat tone.
Gu Ning nodded her head rapidly, flipping her hand and imbuing the Blood Mist Pavilion with her powerful spiritual force, whisking everyone away!
Ao Yan and the others who were practicing suddenly opened their eyes, only to find themselves on a distant mountain top, with Gu Ning next to them.
There were also many other people around them, all equally flabbergasted.
“What the hell is going on?” Ao Cheng asked in a rush.
Ao Yan looked ahead, dumbfounded. There, a massive dark cloud was expanding endlessly.
Within it, purple lightning bolts flashed constantly, and the rumbling thunder could send chills down anyone’s spine, making their legs go limp!
Nobody knew what was happening!
At this moment, everyone noticed the dark cloud that held a terrifying pressure. Everyone was too shocked to even move.
Suddenly, Ao Yan realized that Jiang Xiaobai’s figure was not here. He hurriedly looked around, but he didn’t see him anywhere. He then looked at Gu Ning.
“Where’s Xiaobai?” Ao Yan asked anxiously.
Gu Ning remained silent, her facial expression grave.
Upon seeing this, Ao Yan began to panic. His heart was filled with a strange sense of worry.
“Don’t tell me Jiang Xiaobai brought these clouds… was he practicing some terrifying technique?” AnRan, this chubby guy, suddenly spoke.
Everyone’s hearts constricted!
Done for, there’s a high chance that Jiang Xiaobai did this. He could do anything!
But without knowing the situation, nobody dared to act recklessly.
…
In the practice room, Jiang Xiaobai abruptly opened his eyes.
“Hahaha, half a million immortal stones are really something. I finally broke through to the Early Combination Peak Stage!”
“It’s a pity though. Half a million immortal stones, they only gave me this little bit of advancement.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, how long would it take for me to earn half a million immortal stones from missions?”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head as he stood, brushing the dust off himself.
After calculating the time, he realized it was just a few days away from the agreed three months. He managed to finish the mission on time!
As for his current power, Jiang Xiaobai was extremely confident!
He believed that even if he was not invincible, he was already at the top of the Tianxuan Continent!
It was time to settle the past grudges!
“I originally wanted to test the waters in the God of War space, but it’s been a while since I’ve been out. My body has become a bit rusty.”
“Let’s go out and take a stroll.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed to himself. He was eagerly anticipating seeing the smiling faces of Ao Yan and others when he opened the door.
But just as he was about to open the door, he had a sudden ill-feeling.
He had a strange premonition that if he opened the door, he might die.
“What the hell!”
Jiang Xiaobai was shell-shocked by his own mind. His safety should be guaranteed in Blood Mist Pavilion’s territory, with Gu Ning around!
Is there someone daring enough to cause trouble here?
“Woof, woof, woof, uh, uh, uh, uh…”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai noticed that Gou Dan, who had been deep in slumber, had somehow crawled to his feet.
Gou Dan, the size of Jiang Xiaobai’s palm, was shaking non-stop.
Its tiny eyes were filled with fear!
“What’s going on, you have a premonition too?”
Boom!
Just as Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, a thunderous roar resonated from the sky and the sense of dread within Jiang Xiaobai escalated.
His head was buzzing.
Why was there a sudden thunderclap, and why did it cause such a feeling of dread?
After giving it some thought, Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth and pushed open the door to the practice room. What greeted him was a sky filled with dark clouds!
The entire sky was pitch-black!
Moreover, the stunningly enormous dark cloud seemed to stretch for about thousands of miles. Within the rolling dark clouds, purple lightning bolts continuously flashed, resembling purple dragons swaying amidst the clouds!
Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded at the sight!
“What the hell is this?”
“Dingdong, system alert, the host’s tribulation is about to begin, please prepare,”
“Congratulations to the host for activating the choice!”
“Choice one: Use all means to resist three thunder tribulations. Reward: instant full recovery and forceful stabilization of cultivation stage once.”
“Choice two: Do not use any celestial abilities, resist three thunder tribulations. Rewards: instant full recovery, forceful stabilization of cultivation stage once, 1000 points of reputation, and one merit.”
“Choice three: System alert, this choice may risk the host’s life. Please consider carefully.”
“Details: Do not use any power, endure till the end of the tribulation! For each tribulation the host endures, the system will automatically recover 80% of the host’s status. Reward: one promotion of cultivation stage, 10,000 points of reputation, double merits, and 100,000 medium grade celestial stones.”
“The host has only ten seconds to decide. Ten, nine…”
Jiang Xiaobai admitted that his mind was buzzing. Tribulation?
Why did he have to go through a tribulation?
Was he, a cultivator in Early Combination Stage, already facing a thunder tribulation?
Moreover, wasn’t this cloud of tribulation terrifyingly
huge? Tens of thousands of miles of tribulation clouds, this is insane!
“Time’s up, the system is randomly choosing for you!”
“Congratulations to the host for choosing the third option. The system has forcefully locked all of the host’s cultivation power, and the storage space is temporarily sealed.”
“The system has detected your spirit pet is within the range of the thunder tribulation and has transferred it the Pagoda.”
“Please focus on dealing with the thunder tribulation, system kindly reminders, this is the Ancient Purple Sky Dragon Tribulation!”
Hearing the series of sounds in his mind, Jiang Xiaobai was filled with only one thought.
He’s screwed!
It’s all over!
He’s very screwed this time!
