"A re mortal! Xiao Mo! Such arrogance!"
The Cangyang Sect’s Sect Leader roared in fury. The other Cultivators looked at Xiao Mo as if he were already a dead man.
They had always looked down on mortals.
Even a mortal blessed with the Mountain and River Fortune was nothing more than an ant that could bite.
But now, this ant was acting so insolently!
"Kill him!"
The Huayue Sect’s Female Sect Leader waved her hand, and the sect’s other Elders rushed forward.
The other Cultivators also charged at Xiao Mo, intending to obliterate the old bastard’s soul!
Admittedly, the old bastard’s strength had been daunting at first.
But now, he had consud too much of the Mountain and River Fortune within him.
His strength was now only at the Jade Realm. If the fight continued, it would fall even further.
’Soon, I’ll be able to crush him with a single finger!’
But facing these Cultivators, Xiao Mo’s expression remained as composed as ever.
The ink-black dragon reappeared behind Xiao Mo, roaring at the hundred-so Cultivators without a trace of fear.
...
’Faster!’
’Even faster!’
’Xiao Mo can’t hold on much longer! Bai Ruxue, you have to be faster!’
At this mont, Bai Ruxue was on the verge of collapse. Her body moved forward on pure instinct; she knew she couldn’t stop.
’If I stop, Xiao Mo will surely die here!’
’Crossing the Tribulation.’
’I have to cross the tribulation as soon as possible!’
’Xiao Mo told before.’
’As long as I successfully cross the tribulation and undergo Thunder Tempering Body, I’ll be reborn, and my Realm will rise to a new level.’
’Then I can take Xiao Mo and leave this place of conflict.’
’Then Xiao Mo, Xiao Qing, and I... the three of us can live together forever!’
"Vile beast! Where do you think you’re going!"
A Nascent Soul Realm Elder from the Star Sect blocked Bai Ruxue’s path.
He threw out a Dragon-Catching Net and chanted a technique. The net expanded rapidly.
Although this Dragon-Catching Net was a replica magical treasure, in his eyes, it was more than enough to capture a Flood Dragon that had not yet crossed its tribulation.
"Get out of my way!"
Bai Ruxue roared at the man before her, spitting a mouthful of white lightning!
Just as the Dragon-Catching Net was about to envelop her, the white lightning tore a large hole right through it.
Bai Ruxue shot through the hole in the net and ramd headfirst into the man.
"Not good!"
The man’s spirit trembled, and he tried to flee.
But the draconic might radiating from Bai Ruxue had locked his body in place.
His body trembled uncontrollably, refusing to obey his commands.
’How can this be? She’s just a White Flood Dragon that hasn’t crossed her tribulation. How could she...’
"ROAR!"
Bai Ruxue charged straight through.
In his final mont, the man saw her vertical, golden pupils.
Although his own reflection was mirrored in her pupils, it was as if she didn’t see him at all.
The instant Bai Ruxue’s dragon horns touched him, the man exploded into a mist of blood.
At the hundred-foot-high mouth of the Yunya River, Bai Ruxue slamd her four claws down, leaping up and plunging toward the North Sea.
"Damn it!"
The other Cultivators, who were still entangled with Xiao Mo, saw Bai Ruxue soaring through the air and had a terrible premonition.
"SPLASH!"
The three-hundred-foot-long White Flood Dragon plunged into the sea, sending up a hundred-foot-high spray.
"BOOM!"
High in the heavens, the long-suppressed Thunder Tribulation had finally arrived.
"DOOONG..."
A bell toll echoed across the heavens and the earth, as if signaling the start of the tribulation.
The first bolt of the Thunder Tribulation struck down at Bai Ruxue.
Bai Ruxue t it head-on.
Lightning pierced through Bai Ruxue’s body.
Bai Ruxue felt a numbing sensation spread through her entire body, but her eyes only grew more determined.
"ROAR!"
Bai Ruxue roared at the heavens.
The dragon’s roar echoed across the North Sea.
All the Cultivators were startled.
They had never seen such an audacious Flood Dragon.
Ordinarily, when a Flood Dragon was Crossing the Tribulation, it would take an extrely humble posture to show respect for the Celestial Dao.
But this White Flood Dragon was different.
Not only did she show no reverence for the heavens, she even provoked the Celestial Dao!
"Fellow Daoists, while this White Flood Dragon is occupied with its tribulation, let us each set up our arrays. The mont it ends, we will strike together and hunt it down. As for the Dragon Pill, Dragon Sinew, Dragon Bone, and so on, we can divide them afterward. What do you say?" the Luqiong Sect’s Sect Leader shouted to the Cultivators from the other sects.
"A fine idea!"
"I agree."
"Let’s do it!"
The others all voiced their agreent.
This White Flood Dragon was extraordinary; the purity of its bloodline was the greatest they had ever witnessed.
They knew they would spend years regretting it if they let this White Flood Dragon escape.
Furthermore, the Dragon Race was known for being the most vengeful. In the future, once she achieved her Dao, they feared they wouldn’t even be able to sleep soundly.
"BOOM!"
The second bolt of lightning fell.
Once again, it struck Bai Ruxue.
Compared to the first, the power of this second bolt was three tis greater.
Several of Bai Ruxue’s scales were stripped away by the strike.
The third bolt.
The fourth bolt.
The fifth bolt.
The power of the Thunder Tribulation intensified with each strike.
Bai Ruxue’s body was battered and broken. Her three-hundred-foot-long form writhed beneath the thunderclouds, looking as if it would fall apart at any mont.
anwhile, the other Cultivators had already taken up positions three miles away from Bai Ruxue.
They stood in all directions, each setting up a Small Array.
They were just waiting for the mont Bai Ruxue’s tribulation ended to strike all at once.
But how could Xiao Mo let them have their way?
Xiao Mo broke free from the Cultivators entangling him. He controlled the ink-black dragon to charge about wildly, attempting to obliterate the Cultivators who were setting up their arrays.
"In the deep of night, I lie and hear the wind and rain, and into my dreams co iron steeds on a river of ice."
His words beca law.
Xiao Mo had once again used a technique of the Confucian School.
The wind and rain from the heavens condensed into cavalry of iron, which galloped through the air, charging at the Cultivators!
Just as Xiao Mo was locked in a deadly struggle with them, the sixth bolt of the Thunder Tribulation arrived.
The lightning transford into thousands of blue birds, which tore at Bai Ruxue’s body.
Bai Ruxue endured the excruciating pain, roaring as she swatted the lightning birds away.
When the seventh bolt of the Thunder Tribulation descended, Bai Ruxue’s consciousness was already starting to blur.
’The seventh one... only two more to go...’
Bai Ruxue looked at Xiao Mo in the distance, his green robes stained with blood, and her heart filled with anxiety.
Shaking her head forcefully to clear it, she looked at the lightning that was gathering but not yet striking, and charged straight into the sky.
As if sensing her provocation, the Celestial Dao sent the seventh and eighth bolts of the Thunder Tribulation crashing down at the sa ti!
Bai Ruxue was struck down into the Vast Sea.
But in less than a breath’s ti, she burst from the Vast Sea and charged toward the heavens once more.
A colossal dragon head erged from the dark clouds.
The head was a translucent, piercing blue, ford entirely from lightning.
Even though the tribulation was not directed at them, everyone broke out in a cold sweat just from feeling its oppressive might.
"The Nine Dragon Profound Thunder Tribulation?"
"This White Flood Dragon actually triggered the Nine Dragon Profound Thunder Tribulation?"
"Is her bloodline really that outrageous?"
"What kind of fortuitous encounter did she have?"
Only then did many of the Cultivators realize that the Thunder Tribulation Bai Ruxue was facing was the Nine Dragon Profound Thunder Tribulation—a trial with a near-certain chance of death!
This tribulation hadn’t been seen for thousands of years.
"ROAR!"
The Thunder Dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth, making the very ground tremble.
After weaving through the clouds for a mont, the Thunder Dragon dove straight for Bai Ruxue.
Still fearless, Bai Ruxue charged straight up to et it!
’This is the last bolt! Xiao Mo, wait for !’
