Chapter 246: Little Demoness: I Want to Dye This Thing Green!
“What did you say?”
Upon hearing this, the couple from the Li Family both widened their eyes.
They thought Li Xiang was only interested in an ordinary woman, but they didn’t expect him to have his eyes set on the Virgin Saint of the Celestial Master Clan.
This was going to be tricky.
Although the Celestial Master Clan’s power was not on par with the Li Family, it was still a top-tier force in the Central Continent, and their Virgin Saint would never allow herself to be easily violated!
“If I can’t have You Cangyue, then I don’t want anything else!”
Li Xiang said decisively, leaving the couple at a loss for how to persuade him.
“Hmph, so what if she’s a Virgin Saint from the Celestial Master Clan? It’s her blessing that my son likes her!”
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxii’s tone became sharp.
“Madam, are you serious?”
Li Congxin said, somewhat surprised.
“Of course! She’s just from the Celestial Master Clan, and they don’t have the right to refuse us!”
Upon hearing this, the head of the Li Family thought for a moment and found some merit in her words.
The Li Family was the most powerful weapons-making family in the Central Continent, and because of that status, they were destined to form connections with countless powerful forces.
Also for this reason, the major sacred grounds of the Central Continent treated the Li Family with great courtesy, always respectful.
In contrast, the Celestial Master Clan was reclusive and often taciturn, an anomaly in the Central Continent. Anyone could see which family was stronger or weaker.
Moreover, the younger generation of the Celestial Master Clan needed to overcome tribulations and had to purchase tribulation-transcending artifacts from the Li Family. If the Li Family cut off their supply, the death rate of the Celestial Master Clan’s young during tribulation would at least double!
To exaggerate a bit, the Li Family had a grip on the life vein of the Celestial Master Clan; they could only obey without the option to refuse!
“Since that’s the case, let’s prepare the betrothal gifts. Today, we will go to the Celestial Master Clan to settle this matter, and I hope they understand their place and don’t embarrass themselves!”
…
In the Eastern Continent, at Red Dust Mountain!
Here, the heavenly tribulation had turned into a sea of thunder, so powerful it could annihilate all thunder tribulations from the past thousand years!
“Omniverse Illusion Seal!”
“Heaven-defying Eye!”
Zhou Tong fought frantically, charging into the clouds, unstoppable, ready to face the powers of the heavens!
However, even with his unparalleled divine power and full assault, he could not block all the thunder light.
“Boom!!”
Suddenly, the thunderclouds thickened, and the pressure became heavier, pouring down relentlessly.
“Hiss…”
Even Zhou Tong couldn’t help but gasp, as with his Semi-Sage level physique, he started showing signs of being unable to bear it.
At this moment, it seemed the Heavenly Dao was enraged, suddenly unleashing tens of thousands of bolts of lightning, all aimed at Red Dust Mountain.
“This is bad!”
Zhou Tong’s face changed drastically, wanting to wield an Imperial Weapon but got no response.
He saw that most of the world-destroying thunder light bypassed his defenses and slammed into the barriers of the Profound Sky Nine Flowers Great Formation, with some even penetrating directly, falling below!
“Ahhhh…”
A crowd of disciples and ordinary elders were like deer caught in headlights, pressed to the ground, waiting for death.
At this critical moment, the true powerhouses of the Joyful Union Sect moved.
The Senior Apprentice Sister, Yao Xian, Huo Ling’er, and Mu Ran Ya all struck simultaneously, unleashing power comparable to four Sages, easily fending off this wave of attacks.
“Don’t be careless; a bigger one is coming!”
Zhou Tong shouted, and as soon as he finished, the sky roared, and this time, it directly unleashed a hundred thousand bolts of lightning!
“Damn it!!”
Faced with such a situation, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but curse, a Void Starry Sky emerging behind him.
“I can see the flicker of energy!”
He saw green stars crazily devouring gray stars, and after the stars were destroyed, an immense energy surged forth.
In an instant, the small worlds within him exploded continuously, reaching a total of over eleven thousand, and every small world was operating at overload!
“Five Seals Overlay!”
A trace of blood emerged at the corner of Zhou Tong’s mouth as he tapped into the formation’s power to launch an attack capable of suppressing a Sage!
He saw three thousand of the hundred thousand bolts of lightning shattered, while the rest passed once again through the barrier!
This time, the four below could not fully block it, letting two thousand bolts of lightning slip through!
“This is bad!”
Mu Ran Ya felt a deep urgency; if these two thousand bolts fell below, it would surely cause tremendous casualties, a situation she absolutely could not allow to happen.
With that thought, she prepared to use a secret technique and go all out!
However, just then, a sudden change occurred.
She felt a warm sensation in her abdomen, and when she looked inward, she found that the cluster of star clouds was actively rotating, madly devouring the surrounding energy.
This time, that cluster of star clouds did not consume Mu Ran Ya’s essence but instead emanated a powerful attraction, dismantling the two thousand bolts of lightning one by one and refining them for absorption!
This scene directly shocked everyone!
Even Zhou Tong and the typically calm Yao Xian stared wide-eyed.
“What just happened?!”
“I… I don’t know either,” Mu Ran Ya stuttered. Before she could finish speaking, the third wave of lightning cascaded down. This time, the cluster of star clouds didn’t pretend, acting like a greedy black hole, devouring everything!
In a moment, the skies cleared, and that world-destroying tribulation was thus transcended.
There were no cheers or clamor, only profound silence!
The gazes of a few in the sky all focused on Mu Ran Ya.
Master, I didn’t expect you to have this move. How did you do it?
The Senior Apprentice Sister was pleasantly surprised, looking Mu Ran Ya up and down.
Mu Ran Ya blushed like fire, unsure of how to respond.
“Are you alright?”
Zhou Tong stepped forward and grabbed Mu Ran Ya’s wrist. Before he could check, he saw a brilliant light erupting from her abdomen, followed by incredibly pure energy merging into both their bodies.
“This is feedback?!”
Zhou Tong said in disbelief as he watched Mu Ran Ya’s cultivation level rise to a new tier.
His own enhancement was even more apparent; although he didn’t break through, the small worlds within him were desperately expanding.
Twelve thousand… Thirteen thousand… Fourteen thousand…
Eventually, it reached a total of fifteen thousand small worlds before it barely stopped. Through the tribulation, Zhou Tong’s physical strength increased by half!
This made him overjoyed; if this continued for a few more times, completing the pact with the Earth’s Veins would be a piece of cake!
“I’m amazing, right?”
Mu Ran Ya said with a smile, brimming with pride.
“Master is formidable!”
“Leader is mighty!”
The others immediately worshipped in homage.
“Shall we reward the Master, then?”
Mu Ran Ya looked at Zhou Tong and whispered under the Senior Apprentice Sister’s sharp gaze.
“Little one… come to the main hall tonight, for I have a feeling that I need to have a serious discussion with you!”
The Senior Apprentice Sister’s expression immediately changed.
“Is this discussion… serious? I want to join too!”
“Go away… Wait until I finish discussing with your junior brother; it won’t be too late.”
…
In the Central Continent, at the Celestial Master Clan!
The Little Demoness was brushing her hair, looking somewhat irritable.
“What’s wrong, sis?”
The Sword Saint’s voice suddenly came, accompanied by the Sword Saint’s Wife and You Jingfeng.
“Big Brother, Sister-in-law, Grandpa…”
The Little Demoness tugged at a lock of her green hair.
“I want to dye this thing green!”
