1198 Divine Little Vermillion Bird appears!
Master Ghost looked at Sima You Yue, and his eyes suddenly shone, saying, “Fire and lightning are the arch nemesis of this thing. However, because its existence is heaven-defying, the average fire and lightning is useless against it. However, if it’s your flame, it’s not like we don’t have a shot.”
How could he have forgotten the existence of her flame!
However, Sima You Yue didn’t just want something so uncertain like a shot at it.
“Master Ghost, if I added calamity lightning on top of my flame, will the chances increase?”
“Calamity lightning?” Master Ghost was stunned, “If it was truly they calamity lightning on top of your flame, that would definitely work. However, there’s no calamity lightning here at all.”
How could a calamity lightning appear at this time?
However, Sima You Yue wasn’t worried about this at all. She turned around to look at the elder and everyone else, saying, “If I can save your life, can you swear that you will not take advantage of the situation to harm me or my ghost clansmen?”
Senior Elder didn’t think that she would actually put forward a request like this as he replied, “Alright, I promise you.”
“I need every single person here to promise me.” Sima You Yue said, “Also, I also mean that you cannot harm us now or ever in the future.”
“If you can solve this problem, of course, it would be no problem to promise you this.” Senior Elder said.
He had never ever thought of killing or Sima Liu XUan. If she was able to save them, this would be no loss to him.
Sima You Yue glanced at the others and asked, “What about you guys?”
If she could save their lives, they weren’t even able to beg her quick enough. Who would dare harbour other thoughts? Every single one hurriedly nodded and agreed.
“Remember your words.” Sima You Yue said as she walked outside, saying, “Master Ghost, I’m going to head outside. When heaven’s lightning strikes, I’m afraid that your barrier…”
Di Zhe grabbed her immediately, saying, “What are you trying to do?! Don’t you know how dangerous it is out there?”
“Cousin, take a look at Master Ghost’s barrier. How much longer can it last? Sima You Yue asked.
He was worried about her and his hand was trembling, showing her how he really felt.
Honestly, she didn’t have a hundred percent guarantee by going out either. However, she didn’t like just sitting around and waiting to die.
However, she felt like there was hope. Since nobody else could do it, she would let the heavenly law save her!
Di Zhe grabbed her and didn’t want to let go. He didn’t want her to go and face this danger.
“Cousin.” Sima You Yue looked at him and smirked, “Relax, I will return. You’ll have to hide inside for a moment. Wait for everything outside to settle down before coming out.”
“I…”
“Cousin, we’re running out of time.” Sima You Yue looked at him firmly.
“Master, relax. With her flame, even if she can’t kill that thing, she will be able to return.” Master Ghost said.
However, if it truly came to that, there would be no more need for her to return. Because the barrier would not be able to last until then. Returning would no longer be a safe haven.
Di Zhe knew about Sima You Yue’s flame. He released her and told her, “Be careful.”
“Mm.”
Sima You Yue came to the end of the barrier where Master Ghost was about to open the barrier to let her out when he saw her fuse with Little Roar and leave.
The Sima Clan recognised the spirit skill she used and cried out with surprise, “She actually knows how to use fusion! Sima Liu Feng, were you the one who taught her?!”
Sima Liu Feng and Sima Liu Yun were extremely surprised because they had never taught her any sort of skill.
“We found her during the pill competition in Cloud Sea City. Looking at her proficiency at fusion, does it look like she began learning back then?”
The Sima Clansmen fell silent because that was definitely impossible.
“She is Liu Xuan’s child. Even if she didn’t grow up in the clan, it’s not strange for her to know of these things!” Sima Liu Feng said, “However, she’s merely thirty years old right now. I wonder which of the geniuses in the younger generation of our clan at the thirty years of age are as accomplished as she is?”
Senior Elder and the others fell silent. There was no need to even mention the younger generation. Even in the past, there was nobody as heaven-defying.
Now, these divine tools weren’t even around anymore. If she was able to return to the clan, it wasn’t impossible for her to shake up the clan!
When they thought of this, the way they looked at Sima You yue changed. The others thought the same as well, and everyone’s gazes changed.
Sima Liu Feng and Sima Liu Yun saw the changes, but they didn’t say anything.
They had to properly think things through for themselves.
If they were able to accept her, then they could look forward to her return to the clan.
However, the prerequisite was that they had to safely pass through this calamity.
The outside of the earth palace was already completely surrounded. The entire sky had turned pitch black, as if it was covered by a piece of black cloth.
Everyone watched as she left the barrier and was afraid that she was going to be swallowed by the Devil’s Blood. Every single one of them felt their heart clench tightly.
Di Zhe and Sima Liu Feng were the most worried about her. The elders were just afraid that they would lose a rare talent and lose the opportunity to ascend. The others were afraid that she would die and that they would lose their only hope of survival.
They only saw that the moment she left the barrier, her body was surrounded by an intense gold flame. The black mist around her was burnt cleanly, and a silhouette appeared in its midst.
“Such a powerful flame!” Someone inside the earth palace cried out.
Although they were so far from her, they could feel the intensity of the heat. This proved how hot it was.
It was such a powerful flame. Who knew, it might really be able to defeat the Devil’s Blood.
“Hu- Hu-”
The flame continued to burst forth, and the sound was even more intense than before.
The Devil’s Blood grew increasingly violent!
Sima You Yue could feel the power sucking Crimson Flame’s energy as she said to the space, “Crimson Flame, I’ll have to trouble you this time. I need you to buy me a few minutes.”
A silhouette flashed out from inside Sima You Yue. when he appeared, his body was also surrounded by flame.
His body suddenly moved and flew into the air, turning into his original form. It flew directly into the dense black mist.
The opponent was too strong, so he had to change into his true form to increase his strength. It would buy him more time.
“Screech-”
He released a long cry, and everyone in the earth palace could sense the immense pressure.
“This, this is… a phoenix?”
“No, it’s not a phoenix.” Master Ghost looked at Crimson Flame with shock, “That’s the Divine… Vermilion Bird!”
Everyone in the Earth Palace was stunned. They had actually seen the Divine Vermilion Bird. The Divine bird of the legends!
It was no wonder her flame was so strong. It was because of it.
The black mist dispersed, focusing its strength to defeating crimson flame. Sima You Yue remained where she was and began to activate the purple lightning in her, allowing it to draw the calamity cloud.
Calamity Cloud was sleeping soundly in the sky, it was the most idle here. Suddenly, it felt the beckoning of someone and was immediately woken up.
This guy again!
It initially thought of not going over, but it could feel that there was some kind of heaven-defying entity there, so it could only sit on the calamity cloud and head over there.
Chapter 1199 Can’t control the energy inside anymore
Sima You Yue tilted her head back and looked at the sky. Why did it feel as if the calamity cloud was taking a particularly long time this time.A good few minutes had already passed, but the calamity cloud had yet to come. Could it be that the urging of the purple lightning was useless?
Then wouldn’t they have to hand their life over obediently?!
A chill rose from her back. This was even scarier than being struck by the lightning.
Twenty minutes passed, but the calamity cloud still didn’t come, and Crimson Flame was also unable to hold out much longer.
Although he had recovered quite a bit of his previous strength, he was still injured after all, and this was a particularly strong opponent. It was already really good that he was able to hold on to this point.
Would this really not work?
“Yue Yue, let Qing Yi come out.” Little Seven said from inside the spirit pagoda.
“Qing Yi? Isn’t he unable to casually get involved?”
“If this were any average scenario, I would actually be unable to do anything. However, this is already beyond average.” Qing Yi said.
Sima You Yue first considered the fact that he was unable to involve himself, and didn’t force him to help her just so they could have a chance at surviving. This moved him a little.
The moment Sima You Yue heard that it wouldn’t be a problem, she hurriedly called Qing Yi out.
The moment Qing Yi appeared, his body radiated with a little gold light that turned into a full golden ray.
The moment the black mist touched the golden rays, sizzling sounds were immediately heard before they disappeared.
Then, he used both hands to form a seal, and a little life tree flew out from the front of his chest. It then grew bigger, pushing the black mist back slowly.
“Such a dense life aura! What is that!” The Gu clansmen cried out.
Master Ghost and the others had already guessed Qing Yi’s identity. Sima You Yue had one told them about what happened at the tree of life, but they had no idea that she had actually taken the tree of life with her.
Sima Liu Yun and Sima Liu Feng guessed it as well, but they had no intentions of saying anything.
However, they were still able to recognise it. Great Elder, as the great elder of the Sima Clan, was not your average joe.
“Tree of Life, it’s the tree of life from the legends!” He muttered. His current state was such that he was no longer able to express his surprise anymore.
“The tree of life? That which is rumored to allow one to comprehend dao? The tree of life that can help you grow stronger?!” Someone standing beside the great elder heard what he said, and cried out with surprise.
“That’s right, it is it. It is exactly the same as rumored.” Great Elder said with confidence.
The tree of life! It was such a previous tree of life and not like those banyan trees outside.
She not only possessed the divine vermilion bird,but also the tree of life! Just how many secrets did she carry on her person?!
“Who would have thought that something like this would appear, and who knows what that calamity cloud is doing?! If the upstairs knew about this, would you still be able to sleep so soundly here?” Qing Yi sounded like he was talking to himself, but he was actually causing the calamity cloud, who was already rushing here, to tremble and rush here even quicker.
Sima You Yue saw that calamity cloud come over and her anxiety finally died down. When the calamity cloud was mulling over whether or not to come down, she kept Qing Yi and Crimson Flame away, facing the calamity cloud by herself.
The Devil’s Blood wanted to run away the moment it saw the calamity cloud, but it had already locked onto it as a target, so it was not able to leave this place at all. It was moved just a little bit, but Di Zhe and the others just happened to be just outside the range of the calamity cloud.
This was something that Sima You Yue didn’t expect. She initially worried about whether or not it would drag them in, but it was all good now and she got lucky.
It could be because of what Qing Yi said just now. If the upstairs knew that something like this had actually happened under its watch, it would definitely have been punished beyond what it could bear.
So it had to kill it right here!
The lightning tribulation shot down in twos and threes, the heavenly grandeur causing those watching to be beyond surprised.
“If this struck someone, would they be able to bear it?”
Everyone felt a chill while thinking about it. Although they were rather strong now, they still revered the lightning tribulation.
“If this lightning tribulation strikes You Yue, will she be able to handle it?” Sima Liu Feng said worriedly.
They had never seen Sima You Yue go through a calamity and saw how intense this calamity cloud was, so they were so scared that their faces turned white.
If something happened to her, they would die of guilt.
Great Elder and the others were the most heartbroken. If this genius died, their hopes for the clan…
One to two hours passed by and the lightning tribulation continued to strike. It seemed like the others had been so shocked at the beginning, but were growing numb to it now.
The others outside were beyond themselves with worry, but Sima You Yue, who was inside, was just confused.
This lightning tribulation wasn’t crazy, right?
This guy would always just strike her all the time. This time, she had clearly called it over, and she was standing right here, but it treated her as if she wasn’t even there. This was the first time it had ever happened!
She watched as the lightning tribulation struck it so happily, and she had nothing to do here, so she just took out a chair and sat down, watching it strike with leisure.
Top Grade Purple Lightning came out from her body, wanting to snatch something to eat, but Sima You Yue stopped him.
“Not this time.” She used her spirit energy to trap it, saying, “The thing we have to strike today is extremely powerful. You can’t snatch it. If there isn’t enough of it, we’ll be in trouble.”
Top Grade Purple Lightning twisted and turned inside the spirit energy sphere. It didn’t care whether or not it was enough, it just wanted to eat.
Sima You Yue saw that it was about to break through her spirit sphere and gave a thought, tossing it into her spirit pagoda.
It really wouldn’t be able to come out from inside there.
Top Grade Purple Lightning was infuriated. This lady actually dared to lock it inside here. It grew angry, very angry. Once it was angry, it wasn’t able to control the energy inside and lightning started to fill the sky, striking down.
It was a good thing that Little Spirit had a quick reaction and immediately tossed Top Grade Purple Lightning over to where nobody was. Once it had finished its tantrum, only a wasteland remained of the entire place.
Sima You Yue pursed her lips. This guy really had a temper!
It wasn’t as cute as Cloud Spirit.
When she thought of Cloud spirit, she kind of missed it.
Top Grade Purple Lightning, who was inside the spirit pagoda, could sense her thoughts. It had initially calmed down, but started to rage again, sending lightning strikes raining down.
Wasn’t it just an average calamity cloud? What was cute about it! It was so much more powerful than the average calamity cloud by a few hundred times! This lady had no eyesight!
Sima You Yue didn’t care for it and let it continue to strike its lightning inside. In any case, there was a huge mountainous area. It could strike for as long as it wanted to.
Top Grade Purple Lightning struck for a long time, but Sima You Yue didn’t care about him. However, it suddenly became quiet.
“Ah?”
It would be fine if this guy continued to strike. Now that he stopped, but he was still so downcast. What was going on?
“Sob sob-”
Sima You Yue’s expression started to crumble. This guy had struck the place with lightning for a day and a night, destroying so many of her things. She was the one who wanted to cry, so what was this guy doing?
“Wah wah-”
Nobody bothered with it, so it started to cry with more intensity. His sadness caused him to lose control of the power inside him again…
Chapter 1200 Energy spen
Sima You Yue just couldn’t understand this guy. Watching him cry all alone in an abandoned place really caused her to soften.She entered with her consciousness, came by his side and stared at him, but she didn’t say a word.
“Sob sob…”
Top Grade Purple Lightning looked at SIma You Yue with grievance. Why did she take such a long time to show up!
This little guy had yet to fully transform. He only had a fuzzy figure with just that pair of eyes, making them look exceptionally large and round. With how grieved he appeared, he really looked so adorable.
Although Sima You Yue was inwardly captured by his cuteness, but looked cold on the outside.
This guy was extremely arrogant. If she were to pamper him now, he would be unbearable in the future!
“Know your mistake?”
“Sob sob-”
Top Grade Purple Lightning didn’t speak. It just continued to cry.
This girl was watching it cry so sadly but she just refused to comfort it. She only knew how to watch it with an ice cold expression, making it more sad, even more sad. It lost even more control of its spirit energy and struck its surroundings even more.
“Zap-”
A bolt of lightning struck Sima You Yue, causing her to almost lose consciousness.
Sima You Yue’s expression fell even darker. She wasn’t struck on the outside, but had been struck in her own territory.
Top Grade Purple Lightning was stunned and forgot to cry for a moment.
“Are you happy now with your lightning strikes? If you’re done, then keep your energy away. You’re going to annihilate my spirit pagoda at this rate.”
“Then you shouldn’t have locked me inside here.” Top Grade Purple Lightning retorted.
“If you listened to my instructions, would I have locked you in here?”
“…”
“I know, you consider yourself as the Top Grade Purple Lightning, and you’re very powerful. That’s why you never cared about me. That’s why you want to go once you’ve finished forming, and I won’t stop you. I want a companion who will journey with me, not some great lord who needs me to wait on him.” Sima You Yue said, “If you’re not done striking the place with lightning, then continue. After all, this might be your last time coming in here.”
After speaking, she prepared to go. Top Grade Purple Lightning continued to wail as if the world was ending. It was as if it had suffered a great grievance.
“You’re the one who brought me over, now you say that you don’t want me, sob sob-”
Sima You Yue heard his retort and pursed her lips. She looked at the mountains around her that had been struck into black ashes. Those tears continued to fall like rain. Maybe it really did feel wronged.
She sighed, then went up to hug it, saying, “No more striking, and no more crying.”
Top Grade Purple Lightning took deep breaths and truly stopped crying. In the end, it breathed too deeply and ended up hiccuping.
“I’m cuter than that cloud spirit, and I’m stronger too.” Top Grade Purple Lightning said in between breaths.
“You’re the one who doesn’t like it and keeps thinking of leaving once you’ve grown.” Sima You Yue said.
“I was only thinking about it, I wasn’t really going to do it.” The little guy’s anger had vanished as it snuggled deeper into her embrace.
“But you didn’t take me as a comrade. That’s why I said that I would let you go.”
“Then I won’t think about it anymore.” Top Grade Purple Lightning said, feeling wronged.
“Then are you going to listen to me from now on?”
“Mm.”
“Are you going to keep on striking?”
“I won’t.”
“Then once we get out, are you going to listen to me?”
“Fine then, I won’t snatch anything.” Top Grade Purple Lightning huffed, “Even if I don’t snatch it, that guy won’t be able to strike it to death. It will even allow it to succeed in growing and achieve acknowledgement from heaven.”
“You know that?”
“I knew it just with a single look.”
“If striking it with lightning won’t help, then what can we do?” Sima You Yue asked.
“The only way is to keep it away.” Top Grade Purple Lightning said.
“Then, are we able to grab the opportunity where it’s just done with the calamity and is weak, to kill it off?”
“It’s not impossible if you want it.” Top Grade PUrple Lightning replied, “But it won’t be so easy to kill it. But are you dumb? It’s something so good, but you’re going to kill it instead of keeping it?”
“It’s so dangerous. If I can’t control it, if it fights back, I’ll be the enemy of all humanity.” Sima You Yue said, “Although I’ve always felt like those people don’t have much to do with me, to drag down the common person is a sin that I don’t wish to carry.”
Top Grade Purple Lightning thought for a moment, “It does seem to be the case. However, if I’m around, it definitely won’t be able to fight back.”
“Hehe…” Sima You Yue petted his head. This little guy was so cocky, it actually didn’t look so bad.
“It’s about to finish outside.” Little Spirit’s voice sounded.
“Then we should go outside and take a look.”
Sima You Yue carried Top Grade Purple Lightning out. The lightning calamity outside had really almost finished.
Although the black mist had almost completely gone, the aura in the air didn’t completely dissipate.
Sima You Yue found a spirit beast that looked like a black dog inside one of the holes in the ground caused by a lightning strike. It was covered with wounds, but had a trace of breath left.
She carefully went closer, but that Devil’s Blood didn’t have any reaction.
“This guy actually didn’t die.” She knelt down and used Crimson Flame’s fire to surround herself as she examined the situation carefully.
“Useless!” Top Grade Purple Lightning glanced sideways at the Lightning Calamity in the air.
Because of its negligence, this kind of entity had actually formed. Right now, it had not even fully formed, but it was still unable to strike it to death. It was useless!
“Is this thing going to punish it?” Sima You Yue asked, “It would be such a pity to kill it just like that.”
“Why don’t you form a contract with it.” Top Grade Purple Lightning said, “Don’t you have the darkness attribute? You were able to form a contract with Little Dream and the others, so you should be able to form a contract with that.”
“But this looks so powerful. If I form a contract with it, will I be able to control it?” Sima You Yue was a little hesitant, “I don’t want to end up being devoured by this guy and end up being its slave instead.”
“With me around, it would never be able to.” Top Grade Purple Lightning said confidently, “In any case, Crimson Flame is able to suppress it too.”
Sima You Yue was a little worried, so she went to ask Crimson Flame.
“You want to keep it?” Crimson Flame wasn’t too surprised at the idea. Based on her personality, she wouldn’t let this chance go.
“I kind of have this idea, but I have my hesitations.” Sima You Yue said, “We might be able to find a use for it in the ghost realm.”
Crimson Flame came outside and looked at Devil’s Blood who was on his last breaths. His eyebrows furrowed as he asked, “Why can’t I feel its inner energy anymore?”
“It seems so!” Top Grade Purple Lightning dashed over and zapped Devil’s Blood a little, but it couldn’t sense any of its energy at all.
“What’s going on?” Sima You Yue placed her hand on Devil’s Blood’s body, but she truly couldn’t feel a bit of spirit energy at all.
“Could it be that this heavenly lightning didn’t strike it to death, but turned it into a waste instead?” Sima You Yue guessed.
“That’s not too possible.” Crimson Flame denied it, “There are two explanations why this could be happening.”
“What two reasons?”
“It could be that the lightning strikes broke its spirit energy and did turn it into a waste, but those who suffer this don’t usually last to the end.”
“And the other?”
“The other reason could be that the lightning tribulation wasn’t able to zap it to death but also couldn’t let it continue to harm humans, so the heavenly law sealed its power away.”
