200: Chapter 200 Overlapping Figures, Overlapping Lightning Tribulations

Lightning surged.

The second purple heavenly lightning bolt crashed down with a roar.

Mo Zixing made a slight movement with his hands, using his newly improved precision in controlling his spiritual power to open countless small holes in the barrier.

In this way, only the purest and gentlest power of the Lightning Tribulation could seep through.

After all, no matter how much he protected her, the tempering of the Lightning Tribulation was an essential step for the Golden Core to take form.

If he completely isolated the power of the Lightning Tribulation, the Golden Core that condensed would have a hollow Foundation, making any future Breakthrough as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even if it was just a formality, she still had to experience it.

The power of the Lightning Tribulation that seeped through the barrier coursed through her entire body.

The three tails behind Hu Jiuying instantly puffed up, every single hair standing on end.

The pair of fox ears on top of her head also perked up, the tips slightly blackened, making her look both pitiful and cute.

As Mo Zixing pressed his skin against hers, he could also feel the tingling electric current spreading along his arms.

"Mmm..."

Hu Jiuying let out a soft hum, blinking her eyes in a daze.

The heart-wrenching pain she had anticipated did not arrive; there was only a slightly numb sensation.

"Is this... what the Lightning Tribulation feels like?"

She shifted into a more comfortable position and muttered softly.

Hu Jiuying was not a fool; naturally, she could see that Mo Zixing had blocked the vast majority of the power for her.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she wanted to say some words of gratitude.

But looking at their intertwined posture at this moment, she did not know what to thank him for.

Those words of thanks swirled around in her muddled brain, and what finally blurted out was:

"It... it feels just average."

As soon as the words left her lips.

She knew she had said the wrong thing and immediately wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Hu Jiuying buried her face deep into Mo Zixing's chest and wrapped her tails around his body, explaining cautiously:

"I... I didn't mean it like that..."

She could no longer say the words of thanks that followed.

Because Mo Zixing did not give her a chance to explain at all.

He merely raised an eyebrow, then immediately pulled his hand tighter around her waist.

He actively controlled the even more massive spiritual power within his body, pouring it into her Meridians without reservation.

"Awooo!"

Hu Jiuying let out an instinctive howl, her toes trembling, and her whole body couldn't help but shudder.

The spiritual power within her body spilled out uncontrollably, intertwining with Mo Zixing's spiritual power.

It flowed wantonly onto Mo Zixing's body.

And as the two forces merged and collided, they unexpectedly triggered the power of the residual ninghong fox core within Mo Zixing's body.

Mo Zixing's heart stirred.

He could feel his Heavenly Dao Golden Core spinning continuously at this moment.

A faint sensation of ascending spread from his Dantian.

It seemed he was about to Breakthrough as well!

He suppressed the strange sensation in his heart and focused all his attention on Hu Jiuying first.

There was still one last step left.

As long as her Golden Core could withstand the next wave of tempering, it should be able to stabilize at the Early Stage of the Golden Core.

But Mo Zixing waited and waited.

Even though he continued to Cultivate with Hu Jiuying.

The third Lightning Tribulation he had anticipated was slow to fall.

Mo Zixing frowned slightly, then turned to look up at the sky outside the Holy Temple with vigilance.

He saw that the originally roiling tribulation clouds had become motionless at some point.

But their color had become even darker and more gloomy, and the surrounding air had become thick and oppressive.

The scale of that tribulation cloud.

Had long since far exceeded the scope of a Golden Core tribulation.

No way...

Mo Zixing's heart sank.

His own Breakthrough Lightning Tribulation had actually been triggered.

What was even more fatal was that his aura and Hu Jiuying's had already been bound together.

The two Lightning Tribulations had not separated; instead, they were attracting and devouring each other.

They were merging into one unprecedented massive Lightning Tribulation.

Once such a tribulation took form, its power would not be a simple one plus one, but would grow exponentially.

At this moment.

The tribulation clouds in the sky began to rotate slowly, forming a bottomless black hole at the center.

Countless intertwined lightning bolts twisted and gathered in the hole, emitting a suffocating Law pressure.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to be being drained away, and even time felt as if it had slowed down.

The already somewhat broken walls of the Holy Temple also began to peel off piece by piece, turning into fly ash and dissipating into the air.

Only the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox statue remained standing in its original place.

"This is bad."

In such a special situation, Mo Zixing dared not be the slightest bit careless.

He quickly urged the spiritual power within his body to activate.

A thick barrier of spiritual power unfolded.

Firmly protecting the person and the fox below within it.

One layer might not be enough.

With a thought, relying on the rapid recovery ability brought by the [Candle Dragon Bloodline], he added another layer inside the main barrier.

Outside the main hall.

A sharp, hurried sword hum could be heard faintly.

Ling Lin's ethereal voice echoed in his mind, and surprisingly, one could faintly detect a hint of panic:

"Master, this tribulation is not right. Do you need me to come in and help?"

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Mo Zixing commanded decisively:

"The power of the Lightning Tribulation is very dangerous for you. Stay a bit further away and maintain a safe distance."

Ling Lin's sword hum quieted down, but she did not leave.

She merely stood guard at the entrance of the Holy Temple.

Hu Jiuying also felt the suffocating pressure in the sky and subconsciously hugged Mo Zixing tighter.

The Beast Contract Seal on her forehead was slightly hot, and a stream of spiritual power flowed along their touching skin toward Mo Zixing.

Hu Jiuying didn't even realize what she was doing; she just instinctively wanted to help him share a bit of the pressure.

Mo Zixing's heart warmed, and his originally tense nerves finally relaxed just a little.

This little fox, she was finally worth the affection.

He did not refuse but guided that spiritual power to merge into his own defense.

Even if it could only add a sliver of strength to the barrier, it was good.

Rumble!

At this moment, a deafening sound resounded through heaven and earth!

The lightning, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, crashed down from the hole in the center of the tribulation clouds!

Wherever the lightning passed, the line of sight distorted slightly.

The remaining roof of the Holy Temple was instantly smashed to nothing, and gravel and wood chips flew everywhere.

The lightning slammed fiercely onto the golden barrier.

Crack!

The sound of shattering drowned out the thunder.

The outermost barrier of spiritual power was actually covered in dense cracks.
