Chapter 40
Crossing the Tribulation

Jiang Jiu Ge was Fang Ming Jing's master after all, though he had a strange sense of humor, he was very devoted to his disciple.

After a few days, he specifically sent Mu Bo to deliver a Crossing Tribulation Pill and a "Wild Dragon Blood Essence".

Outside of Zhi Shui Peak—

“Are you ready?”

Fang Ming Jing looked at the giant serpent in front of him with some worry.

“Don't worry, I'm very confident this time.”

E Shen softened her voice.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation for a beast to transform into human form was terrifying, with this drop of "Wild Dragon Blood Essence," she felt she had an eight-out-of-ten chance.

That was already a high probability.

Hiss…

E Shen used her forked tongue to touch Fang Ming Jing's little face a few times, then lifted her head and said, “Alright, Xiao Ming Jing, you should move away a bit, don't get caught in the Heavenly Tribulation later.”

“Yeah, if you really feel like you can't hold on, don't forget to eat the Crossing Tribulation Pill.”

“I know.”

E Shen coiled her huge body, watching Fang Ming Jing leave.

Only after she was sure that his figure had disappeared completely did E Shen look up at the sky—sensing her desire to transform, a terrifying aura descended from the heavens.

The wind howled.

The sky gradually darkened.

In just a few breaths, the originally clear sky was quickly dyed black, like a deep inkstone, so profound that it couldn't be dissolved!

Let's begin.

E Shen thought to herself.

She was a person of her word, once she decided on something, she wouldn't back down.

Boom! Boom!!

The terrifying cultivation of a mid-stage Tribulation Life Realm erupted at this moment, the vast and boundless spiritual energy was like a heavy pressure forming in the surrounding space, the huge currents blew everything within ten miles in all directions.

Boom… rumble… rumble… rumble… rumble…

The black clouds sank again, amidst the rumbling sounds, E Shen vaguely saw crimson blood-red lightning rolling in the clouds.

E Shen broke the jade bottle containing the "Wild Dragon Blood Essence," instantly, a strong, strange fragrance spread.

The Wild Dragon Blood Essence floated in mid-air.

Although it was just a drop of blood, it contained boundless vitality and strength, E Shen didn't have time to hesitate, she opened her mouth and swallowed the drop of Wild Dragon Blood Essence.

Here it comes!

Just as the Wild Dragon Blood Essence was swallowed, the moment its energy began to release, a red lightning bolt carrying the aura of destruction descended!

Boom!!!!!!!!

That beam of crimson divine light that tore through the heavens struck E Shen's body, causing the entire world to tremble!

“It's begun.”

At the Saint Lord Dao Palace, Jiang Jiu Ge's gaze detached from the tea tray, looking leisurely at the dim sky in the distance.

“It's actually red lightning…”

Mu Bo, who was taking care of the kettle, couldn't help but exclaim, “Even the Heavenly Tribulation of a Tribulation Life Realm breaking through to the Nirvana Realm isn't like this.”

“This is also Heaven's test for beasts.”

Jiang Jiu Ge's voice always had an incredible stillness, he took the teacup from Mu Bo's hand and said leisurely:

“In the end, humans are the favorites of the heavens, if a beast wants to shed its beastly form and enter this realm, both great willpower and great fortune are essential.”

“So to speak, if E Shen has the attention of Little Saint Son…”

“Heh, then she has a ten-out-of-ten chance of successfully transforming.”

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another crimson blood-red lightning bolt descended, in an instant, it seemed as if the entire world was dyed blood-red.

E Shen's aura had a hint of weakness.

Her spiritual energy, her defenses were like a piece of paper under that terrifying Heavenly Punishment, after this third Heavenly Tribulation descended, her body was already mangled and bleeding.

But she still held up and didn't fall.

Only this one chance, so she must succeed in transforming.

Looking at the increasingly terrifying ink clouds in the sky, the blood-red lightning roared within them, E Shen's eyes were filled only with determination.

She must transform…

Because only then could she have hands to hug Xiao Ming Jing.

The vast vitality and spiritual energy brought by the Wild Dragon Blood Essence was continuously repairing her mangled body, but under the destructive aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, the speed of repair was too slow, and even in this tug-of-war between advance and retreat, E Shen only felt the intense pain running through her body.

Boom!!!!!

The Heavenly Punishment descended once again.

E Shen raised her head, mobilizing all her spiritual energy to meet the lightning bolt head-on, but in an instant, the spiritual energy barrier was completely broken through, the lightning bolt struck her again, piercing through the earth.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!

The wild and unmatched shockwave swept in all directions, the destructive power unique to Heavenly Punishment turned this once vibrant plain into a wasteland—

E Shen's body was becoming shaky.

The intense pain was almost overwhelming her consciousness, her charred flesh seemed to be becoming unresponsive, the extreme numbness made her almost lose her ability to breathe, and at this moment, the fifth lightning bolt struck.

She couldn't even use spiritual energy to block it.

Damn it…

She was completely knocked to the ground, the next lightning bolt that struck, it was like nailing her body to the ground.

Rumble!!

Rumble!

Boom!!!!

The shockwaves and rumbling merged into one.

“E Shen…”

Fang Ming Jing was watching her from a distance.

Then he looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, where the red lightning was brewing the next strike, its power was getting more and more terrifying…

The Heavenly Tribulation's lightning bolts never had a fixed number of times, so even from the perspective of an observer, no one knew when the Heavenly Tribulation would end.

But Fang Ming Jing realized at this moment that E Shen was absolutely unable to survive the next lightning bolt.

“….Xiao Ming Jing”

Although he couldn't see Fang Ming Jing, E Shen seemed to sense his concern for her, a glimmer of light appeared in her already dim eyes.

She had to eat the Crossing Tribulation Pill at this moment.

Although taking this pill meant failing this tribulation, at least her life would be saved.

“….I still really want to hug you”

She twisted her body with difficulty, trying to put all her strength into enduring this lightning strike.

But at this moment, that lightning bolt in the sky, which was brewing with a terrifying aura, seemed about to strike at any moment, suddenly dissipated along with the tribulation clouds.

E Shen's heavy consciousness hadn't realized what was going on before the sky returned to its bright state.

Then, a golden light descended from the sky.
