A thread of purple light charged into the Heaven and Earth to block against the storm.
The entire sky thundered. The explosive power started to spread to each and every corner of this world.
One could see the sky in the distance was collapsing. The ground which had already collapsed was splitting open and cracking apart all around.
Zong Shou felt like his breathing was about to stop as he was looking at everything in front of him.
“If this Tribulation continues, this world might not be able to last more than 7 days before it is totally destroyed. Although my Master is becoming stronger, she can’t be considered totally…”
He became more serious. Zong Shou took out the other 3 Celestial Treasures that he snatched.
They consisted of a rope and a shield as well as a purple hammer. Zong Shou didn’t care whether or not Lin Xuanshuang could even use it as he tossed these 3 Celestial Treasures along with various Spiritual Artifacts toward the Yang formation eye in the distance.
After doing this, he had no more strength left to worry about the situation across from him.
At this moment, he looked toward the Nameless Sword with such a weird expression.
Just now, he didn’t think about using the Nameless Sword to help the formation. This sword flew out automatically from his sleeves to join in.
At this moment, it was going all out.
He found it weird and shook his head slightly. Zong Shou cast aside his thoughts and spent his effort going against the Tribulation Power in the rain.
At the start, he found it really tough. When Zong Shou barely adapted and started to defend and attack against the Tribulation Power to try to push it away, the power became even stronger.
It happened several times, making Zong Shou struggle and become exhausted dealing with it. He went all out to activate the Dharma as well as the Golden Pellet in his Energy Ocean just to hold on.
However, there were a few times when his Dao foundations were nearly attacked by the Tribulation Power.
“Tough, how long will this take? How long more before this stops?”
As time went on, Zong Shou felt his soul getting more and more tired.
A few times he couldn’t take it and wanted to use the Illusionary Heart Mirror, to use the power of the Celestial Artifact to go up against this strong Tribulation Power.
However, he resisted, only summoning the 79 Star Dao Seeds as well as the Sword Formation around him.
At the key moment, he could use their strength and as such wouldn’t be totally caught off guard.
This was the first time that he used external items to go through a Tribulation.
However, this rain was so strong and domineering that it exceeded his ability.
He could only find happiness from all the pain and think helplessly.
If he could safely pass this Tribulation, then his unstable foundations that arose because he stepped into the Celestial Realm too early would totally stabilize.
Within this Tribulation, he could comprehend large amounts of Great Dao from the power within the rain.
It could be also used to train the soul. It would also be good experience for when he faced the End Realm Tribulation in the future.
Speaking of which, there were many benefits. However, the important prerequisite was that he would have to survive this Tribulation first…
This meant that he was risking his life to fight for it.
He sighed helplessly, his consciousness slowly blurred out like he entered deep sleep, forgetting all about himself.
However, his True Qi and Soul Power were not letting up, going against the Tribulation Power, attacking and defending.
He was immersed in the psychic realm. He felt that the Red Flame God Tribulation that he faced that day couldn’t be compared to this.
Who knows how long passed? Just as Zong Shou felt that this storm was endless and would never stop, a tremor that was 100 times louder than thunder suddenly reverberated in his ear, almost shattering his eardrums.
Looking out, he saw a vast purple light charge into the sky.
It ripped apart the lighting cloud, causing the heavy rain to instantly retract and stop.
Zong Shou was immediately delighted. The rain which was making him so uncomfortable before had finally stopped.
The Tribulation Power within was reduced by at least 30% percent!
As he was so exhausted from it, he finally relaxed a little.
He was able to easily chase the Law Power Suppression out of his body.
However, at this moment, his body was in a total mess. The Nine Chakra Meridians were all broken and all his muscles and bones were destroyed.
Apart from his bone structure which was relatively intact, there was no area of flesh on his body left unscathed.
He was bleeding from all seven holes, looking really tragic and haggard.
If he had faced any dangerous situation in his life, it was incomparable to this.
He suddenly felt an unprecedented weakness overwhelm him. He felt like he wouldn’t even be able to block a 3-year-old stabbing him with a sword.
He took out a Spiritual Pill from his bag and swallowed it. He used the power of the medicine to heal his injuries and heal his meridians.
After adjusting the life force in his body, he eagerly looked at the formation eye opposite him.
He wasn’t worried about whether or not Lin Xuanshuang had revived, but whether or not the Tribulation Lightning Power had dissipated and whether he would be able to survive.
Heaven and Earth Tribulations were often split into several waves. After one ended, another would strike.
If this rainwaters’ Tribulation Power was just the first wave…
Zong Shou really didn’t dare imagine what would happen to him next.
End up in dust? Soul scattering?
Even if he used the Illusionary Heart Mirror, he probably wouldn’t have survived.
Even if he could, the person opposite him might not be able to…
The two of them were already tied together, they were ants on a single line.
If one died, the other would definitely end up with a really tragic outcome.
He held his breath as he looked into the sky like he was awaiting judgment.
What made him happy was that after the dark clouds were ripped open by the purple light, they didn’t close back up.
The rain scattered, coming really suddenly and ending suddenly too.
A moment ago, there was heavy rain but now it had totally disappeared without a trace.
There was no new Tribulation Power forming around. It seemed like they had survived it safely.
“Is this the End Realm Tribulation? This is the first time I have seen one personally, what good fortune!”
Lu Wubing’s voice sounded out, filled with awe.
At this moment, he had already stood up. His face was ashen white, it was evident he used up a lot of energy too.
At this moment, he looked in Xuanshuang’s direction, filled with disbelief.
“Just the remnants of the Tribulation Power caused this newly born medium-sized world to collapse. No wonder those End Realm Venerables would search for worlds with no one so as to prevent being infected by Cause and Effect. However, a world without life would also not be enough to provide them with their tribulation needs. Looking at Xuanshuang’s situation, did she just recover her body or did she survive the tribulation and become an End Realm Saint Venerable…”
When Zong Shou heard this, his lips curled a little, thinking to himself, how was this fortunate?
Lu Wubing probably didn’t know how dangerous the situation was just now.
However, Zong Shou was also really curious about his last few words.
He flew up and with a flash he came to the side of the Yang formation eye.
This place was still covered by a barrier. Zong Shou couldn’t enter and couldn’t see the situation within either.
However, when he waited for a moment here, the strong power slowly faded.
Slowly, a blur person appeared in front of his eyes.
“Success!”
When he saw the person standing in the formation eye, Zong Shou knew that at least he managed to help Xuanshuang reform her body.
Then, he felt that the person within was a little too short.
Not only was she short, her body was extremely thin and weak too.
No, rather than saying she was short and thin, she was pretty much like a little girl…
When that power totally faded, the mist that covered this area also totally dissipated.
He saw a really exquisite and beautiful teen standing within the formation eye.
Those five features were as beautiful as an art piece carved out by a master. It was extremely precise and close to perfect.
Her skin was white and clean like porcelain. It was smooth and tender like silk.
The key point was her age. She looked like she was around 12, even younger and more tender than Shi Ruolan.
At this moment, she opened her eyes and looked in front with a lost expression.
“Xi Zi…”
She gathered her gaze and focused. The girl frowned slightly and then looked toward the Nameless Sword which was not far away.
She was stunned and then a disappointed expression appeared on her face.
Only then did she look toward Zong Shou and his Spiritual Pets, as well as Jingyin and Lu Wubing.
In the end, she turned toward Zong Shou once more.
“Who are you? Are you a junior disciple of my Common People’s Path?”
Zong Shou was still thinking about her appearance.
Is she also the Snow Lion of the Palm bloodline?
Why does she look like a child?
He remembered that when Xuanshuang went through her tribulation, she had already lived for 3,000 years.
It was either due to her bloodline or due to her look being fixed too early.
Then, he thought back to Xuanshuang being Xi Zi’s wife?
Legend had it that Xuanshuang’s 3 younger and 3 older sisters all had feelings for Xi Zi, but he chose her in the end.
In other words, his taste in this aspect was a little different from others.
He also pitied himself. Why did his Master look like such a little thing?
He still didn’t know if his Master had taken that final step.
So many random thoughts rose up in his head, but his face was really solemn.
Learning from a gentleman, his eyes focused and he bowed solemnly.
“Disciple Zong Shou greets Master Xuanshuang!”
“Disciple, Master?”
Lin Xuanshuang was also stunned. After a long while, she came back to her senses.
She then stared coldly at Zong Shou. She felt that this person who called himself her disciple was thinking about something else just now.
“I remember that before I went through the tribulation, I never had a disciple. Xi Zi also only had 6 official disciples.”
Zong Shou was really calm and explained, “Roughly 10 years ago, I was accepted into Common People’s Path by Wei Xu. Senior Brother helped you to accept a disciple and led me under your wing. I am a second-generation direct disciple…”
Only then did Lin Xuanshuang understand. She frowned in deep thought.
