80: Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, the tribulation of lightning descends once more.

Ye You approached step by step, and as she drew closer, several cracks appeared in Su Lin's barrier.

"Revered Master, look, it's about to shatter, just like your current expression."

She stretched out a finger, gently touching the cracked golden barrier, and the demon power at her fingertips made the cracks spread even faster.

"So beautiful, I can't hold back anymore, I really want to... completely break you."

Her voice, though soft, sent shivers down the spines of the Yao Race below.

"Revered Master seems really angry," Little Orange whispered.

"No, she's just more excited."

SilverUpturned's tail twitched uneasily.

"I can't smell Revered Master's killing intent, she's still playing."

"Shut up, all of you! Do you want to be made into cat cakes?!" Ink Shadow reminded them.

Ye You was about to completely shatter the barrier and pull Su Lin into her embrace, and it was at this very moment.

A majestic aura, far more powerful than Su Lin's current cultivation, erupted from his body without any warning.

The Spiritual Qi fluctuations, which were originally at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, rapidly surged, instantly breaking through the barrier and reaching the Peak Nascent Soul Stage.

And there was no sign of stopping, continuing to charge towards a higher level!

Su Lin's closed eyes suddenly opened, his gaze shining brightly.

The immense medicinal power accumulated from the Medicinal Pills he had previously consumed was completely refined and absorbed during this battle.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was frantically surging towards Su Lin, who was now in mid-air, shimmering with spiritual light.

At this moment, the sky above also underwent a sudden change.

Thick dark clouds gathered at a visible speed, obscuring the sunlight in the blink of an eye.

The entire Myriad Demon Forest was plunged into darkness.

Within the dark clouds, a pitch-black Lightning Tribulation surged wildly!

A destructive aura enveloped the heavens and earth, several times more terrifying than when he formed his Core!

"This is bad! It's Heavenly Tribulation! Revered Master is about to Breakthrough!"

Ye You lost all her playful demeanor, and the power of her Body Integration Stage instantly unleashed.

Without the slightest hesitation, she flashed and appeared behind Su Lin.

She formed hand seals, and a majestic Spiritual Qi instantly surged through the entire Myriad Demon Forest.

The Yao Race below Core Formation Stage simply couldn't withstand such Spiritual Qi fluctuations and were instantly swept away.

Ye You's Spiritual Qi transformed into a Protector, exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed the heavens and earth, firmly shielding her and Su Lin below.

As soon as this Protector appeared, it isolated the suffocating Heavenly Might.

As if feeling that this was not secure enough, Ye You waved her hand, and three brilliant Magic Treasures flew out from her sleeve, hovering above the Protector.

The first was a palm-sized profound black turtle shell, which expanded against the wind, transforming into a thick black light shield.

The second was a string of nine white jade beads, each the size of a Dragon's eye; as soon as it was released, the Spiritual Qi between the jade beads connected, forming another huge barrier.

Finally, there was an ancient-looking golden bell; a slight tremor of the bell body sent out circles of golden sound waves, forming a third translucent barrier.

These three defensive Magic Treasures were Ye You's life-saving treasures, which had saved her from life-and-death situations many times.

Now, she did not hesitate to unleash all of them.

After doing all this, she turned back and let out a stern, authoritative shout to all the Yao Race below:

"Listen to my command! Protect my Revered Master!!"

"As the Demon Lord commands!" All the Yao Race below, without exception, dared not be negligent.

A Bear Demon King at the Peak Void Refining Stage immediately stepped forward and roared, "Demon Lord! Should we activate the Myriad Demon Forest's mountain-protecting formation?"

"There's no time!"

Ye You flatly refused, her gaze fixed on the tribulation clouds in the sky.

"This Heavenly Tribulation came too fast, the formation takes time to activate! I will protect him personally!"

"As the Demon Lord commands!" All the Yao Race below, regardless of their cultivation level, knelt in unison, their shouts like a mountain tsunami.

The Bear Demon King at the Peak Void Refining Stage turned and roared, "Black Wind, White Spirit, listen to my command! You two each lead a team and seal off a thousand li radius around the Myriad Demon Forest, allowing no one to approach!"

"Yes!" Two powerful auras shot into the sky, leading a large number of Yao Beasts to the outer perimeter.

"All others above the Void Refining Stage, assist the Demon Lord!" the Bear Demon King ordered again.

More than a dozen figures immediately flew into mid-air, each taking a position, preparing to form a protective grand formation.

These Void Refining Stage powerhouses had all seen the world and experienced countless life-and-death struggles.

But the Heavenly Tribulation before them still made their Divine Souls tremble.

The dozen or so Void Refining Stage Great Demons who flew into mid-air had just found their footing when they looked up at the pitch-black tribulation clouds, and without exception, their expressions changed drastically.

"This... is this the Heavenly Tribulation for Breakthrough to Soul Transformation?"

A Wolf Demon King's voice was dry, and he let out an uneasy growl from his throat.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

When I underwent my Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation back then, the power of that Lightning Tribulation wasn't even one-tenth of this!

Is this the kind of tribulation a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator can endure?!"

They were all overlords of their respective regions, with resilient Heart-Natures, but at this moment, in the face of that pure destructive aura, their Dao Hearts began to waver.

That was not simply spiritual pressure, but an absolute will of annihilation from the level of Heavenly Dao Law.

"Shut up, all of you! Steady your minds!"

The Bear Demon King roared, forcefully suppressing the commotion among the demons.

His eyes were equally horrified, but at this moment, there was no time for them to waver.

He stared intently at the swirling black-purple lightning within the tribulation clouds, muttering to himself, "This is not a test... this is an execution... an annihilation!"

With such power, even if these Void Refining Great Demons went up, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand even the first bolt of lightning and would be instantly blasted into powder!

And Su Lin, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, actually attracted such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation.

Then there was only one possibility: the Heavenly Dao feared him, feared his return to the Peak.

The Bear Demon King's eyes understood the key point.

After fear came a deeper level of reverence.

What kind of terrifying existence would one be, once grown, if the Heavenly Dao was so desperate to annihilate them?

Perhaps, he could even surpass his former Peak, that Mahayana Stage Supreme Being Su?

In an instant, all the Great Demons' gazes towards Su Lin changed.

It was a genuine tremor and adoration from the bottom of their hearts.

"Rumble!"

The first tribulation lightning finally condensed and, without giving the demons time to react, crashed down!

The divine lightning took the form of a malevolent Dragon, striking directly at the three layers of defense set up by Ye You.

"Assist the Demon Lord!"

The Bear Demon King roared, and he and the other dozen or so Great Demons attacked simultaneously, their majestic demon power converging into a huge formation diagram, attempting to weaken the power of the tribulation lightning.

However, the black-purple divine lightning merely touched it lightly.

Only a crisp sound was heard.

The grand formation, jointly set up by more than a dozen Void Refining Great Demons, couldn't even last for a single breath and instantly collapsed!

All the Great Demons in the formation simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The two weakest Great Demons at the Initial Stage of Void Refinement were utterly unable to withstand such power, their Spiritual Qi being backlashed by the Heavenly Lightning.

And this was merely the wind pressure caused by the tribulation lightning falling!

The black-purple divine lightning passed through the shattered formation diagram and struck the first layer of the profound black turtle shell.

"Bang!"

The indestructible turtle shell light shield vibrated violently, its surface instantly covered with cracks, and its light also dimmed.
