Chapter 637: Thunder Tribulation Appears!

e strength of this strike had increased more than twofold compared to before."Ouch!"Dao Yu could no longer bear it, his hands twisting at the hilt of his sword, bones snapping and blood spraying from...Within the Spirit Ruins.

Fang Yu's aura is still rising steadily.

The red lotus fifty meters away from the exit stared at Fang Yu with eyes full of shock.

Now Fang Yu is shrouded in a golden glow, his appearance obscured.

At the same time, the powerful aura emanating from him made Red Lotus feel that she was facing not a person, but an ancient spirit beast!

Honglian turned her head to look in another direction.

The body of the ancestor, Zhuque, has long since dissipated.

Living for ten thousand years thanks to an imperial decree, it has finally completed its mission.

Leaving, for Zhuque, was a form of liberation.

It's a pity that Suzaku's departure was too sudden. Honglian wanted to express her gratitude, but she never had the chance again.

The essence of the Phoenix is slowly entering the body of Red Lotus, beginning to transform her from the bloodline up.

Red Lotus could feel her blood boiling inside of her.

But for her, the process was painless; instead, there was a sense of exhilaration as she felt herself growing stronger with each passing moment.

Of course, what level of evolution the body would ultimately reach after completely absorbing the Phoenix's essence, even Honglian was unsure.

……

Fan Yu was drenched in sweat, the pain in his dantian had reached its limit.

Even the first hundred and one temperings before had never been this painful.

But he had to hold on. Because now, was the most critical time.

If he were struck down by pain and passed out... what awaited him would be more than just a failed breakthrough.

The spiritual energy in the dantian had been gathered together, like a tightly wound spring, being compressed and held down, ready to burst through the bottleneck of the ninth thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth layer of the Qi Refining stage.

At this moment, if one suddenly loses control over their spiritual energy, the compressed spiritual energy would explode violently... This impact force, even with Fang Yu's tough dantian, would be unbearable.

"So close, so very close!"

Fang Yu gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead.

Blood, flowing incessantly from his mouth.

The way he's breaking through now, if his master knew about it thousands of years ago, he would definitely give him a severe scolding.

This kind of direct use of spiritual energy from the dantian to break through is a self-destructive breakthrough method with extremely high risks.

Lacking sufficient physical strength, one is easily susceptible to going into demonic fire and subsequently suffering from the rupture of their dantian and meridians.

And Fang Yu himself knew that this way was not right.

After all, cultivation is a natural progression.

If you have enough spiritual energy, talent, and the opportunity arises, you will naturally break through.

But this time, Fang Yu had no choice.

The Phoenix's essence entered his body, putting unprecedented pressure on his dantian.

If he cannot break through to the ten thousandth layer, his dantian might very likely explode because it cannot contain the Phoenix's essence.

Therefore, he would rather believe that this time, it was his best opportunity to make a breakthrough.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Explosions echoed within Fang Yu's body.

The sound of an explosion occurring inside a person is terrifying.

At this moment, Fang Yu had already raised his left foot, about to step over the chasm leading to the ten-thousandth layer.

"Don't thunder, don't thunder..." Fang Yu was focused on his breakthrough on one hand, and on the other hand, because of the last time's experience, he was extremely worried about the situation above his head.

However, his worries seem not to come true.

Because, within Lingxu, the sky remained unchanged and there was no lightning.

……

Zhenyun and Chenmu, the two of them, have already arrived at the peak of the mountain.

They stood at the edge of the mountaintop, and as they looked forward, they saw a figure shrouded in golden light on the high platform. Fifty meters away, there was an existence resembling a fiery phoenix hovering in mid-air!

The powerful aura that frequently appears on the mountaintop seems to be emanating from these two beings!

"That...is the divine beast, Phoenix!" Zhenyun stared at the red lotus in the distance, his expression filled with shock and awe. He muttered.

"

Could it be that the commotion we heard from the mountaintop just now was caused by this phoenix-like creature clashing with the figure on the platform

Since both sides are opponents, why have they stopped now

Chen Mu and Zhen Yun, both terrified and bewildered.

But what they could be certain of was that, whether it was the creature like a phoenix or the figure bathed in golden light on the platform, neither were beings they could afford to provoke!

The aura emanating from them was enough to chill the soul, leaving no room for thought of resistance!

"Sinking Wood... quickly take a look, that piece of Ling Po Origin Stone..." Zhen Yun's face was grim, turning his head to look at Sinking Wood.

Sinking Wood also thought of that possibility, his heart sinking. He took out the Soul-Stealing Map from his storage bag.

As the incantation was uttered, the Soul-Fetching Diagram slowly floated up, radiating a unique aura around it.

Soon, it fell down.

Chen Mu held the Soul-Stealing Map, his hands trembling slightly.

As expected, a very obvious light point appeared on the Soul-Stealing Chart.

The last piece of Soulstone, it's really right there, on that being atop the platform!

Seeing this result, Shen Mu and Zhen Yun's hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.

How can I obtain that Spirit Essence Stone

The one on the high platform... they are beyond their reach!

"Senior brother, what do we do now" Shen Mu asked, his face pale.

Zhenyun's face turned pale with anger, but he said nothing.

This situation came as a complete surprise.

The spirit jade ore is not highly regarded in either the cultivation world of the past or the martial arts world of today.

...is now considered a collectible.

Therefore, with the existence of the Soul-Collecting Diagram, gathering the first three pieces of Spirit Essence Ore was very smooth and effortless.

But they didn't expect that the last piece of Spirit Soul Ore would end up in the hands of such a formidable being!

A powerhouse of this caliber, since carrying the Spirit Essence Stone on them, must surely know its value.

In this way, it would be quite difficult for them to seize this spirit stone. me." Fang Yu retracted his fist and smiled faintly, saying, "However, those who become my enemies rarely get a second chance to meet me."After saying that, Fang Yu's left foot shot out suddenly."Bang...
