After Yang Ling moved the shaken and dazed piranhas into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, he verified that there weren’t any other piranhas in the vicinity. After he ascertained that he wasn’t in danger, he swam carefully toward the island at the center of the lake.
The lake’s water was bone-chilling. and its chill reached his bone marrow. The closer he got to the island, the colder the water became, and Yang Ling felt like he was within 10,000 year-old ice. He felt a chill, and his limbs turned ice-cold and numb. It seemed like even the blood within his body had almost been frozen and turned into ice.
In addition, the closer he got to the island, the stronger the Soul Attacks that were contained within the mist, and he suffered wave upon wave of attack as if he were in a pendulum. The mist attacked his soul ceaselessly. But, it was fortunate that the Soul Attacks weren’t able to break Yang Ling’s soul defense, and he managed to shortly reach the island at the center of the lake without suffering any mishaps.
The sandy shore was covered with rocks, and he couldn’t see its end at first glance. There was also a lush forest, which didn’t seem any different than ordinary forests. The island’s surroundings were engulfed by a thick mist, but the island only had a thin layer of mist, and he could see much further. He also caught a glimpse of a towering palace behind tall and large trees.
Occasionally, many powerful experts could be seen on the island. Some rested with their eyes closed and awaited the Demon Palace’s opening day, while some toured the island and observed its environment and terrain. There were also some who bustled and seized the time to fish out Moon Stones from the lake.
The fishing success rate was much higher on the island than the lakeside, and when Yang Ling took a tour around there, he discovered that many people made good gains. Some people fished out several Moon Stones that shone in a mesmerizing light and contained intense Energy Ripples.
The mist on the island wasn’t thick, but it restricted Divine Consciousness even more than the mist outside the island, and even though he strove hard to use the Soul Crystal in his brain, he still couldn’t observe distant regions. However, it was fortunate that he had left a deep Soul Imprint on the Great Wizard Altar on the lakeside. He could reluctantly detect the Great Wizard Altar’s location.
“I don’t aspire to make an achievement, and I just hope that I won’t make a mistake. I should let this be, and I should first set up a Restriction Spell. I should prepare a way out.”
After Yang Ling toured the island quickly and discerned that many people made good gains, he started itching for the same and planned to try his luck. He wanted to see whether he could fish out several precious Moon Stones. But after he saw the powerful experts and detected the obscure Energy Ripples in the air, he decided to give up on this alluring idea. He looked for a remote region and hid in it. He started setting up layers upon layers of Restriction Spell before he set up a simple Magical Teleportation Formation Spell.
This way, even if he couldn’t use the Teleportation Gate around his wrist to teleport to the Great Wizard Altar at the lakeside, he could still use the Teleportation Formation Spell to leave quickly. That way he wouldn’t be caught off guard by any unexpected incidents.
After Yang Ling set up the Restriction Spells, he heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the experts, who fished out Moon Stones like fishermen. He suddenly got an idea and recalled the piranhas he had just tamed. “Can I order the numerous piranhas to swim into the lake and take out the Moon Stones?” he thought.
The Moon Lake was of unfathomable depth, and its water was bone-chilling. The deeper a person swam in it, the colder it would become, and the soul attacks contained in it would turn stronger. Even powerful people weren’t able to swim to the lake bed and take Moon Stones directly. They could only throw a net and fish out the little Moon Stones sent up by the air current. However, even if people couldn’t swim down, this didn’t mean that the indigenous piranhas couldn’t do so.
Yang Ling weaved a Wizard Seal and quickly entered the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. He ordered the Blood Angel Ophelia to mobilize all forces to quickly build a Piranha Camp near the sea. Soon after, he picked a group of the strongest piranhas and tamed them with his blood one by one before he quickly went back to the remote beach on the island.
“Little things, it will be up to you whether you will get to eat meat or leftovers.” Yang Ling waved his hand and summoned one hundred piranhas. He ordered them to swim into the lake’s depths and look for the Moon Stones at the lake bed. After a short while, some piranhas held several pieces of Moon Stones as big as a thumb. They made some gains, but they weren’t as large and great as he had expected.
An hour, two hours…
Yang Ling waited for a long time, yet he had only gotten a tiny number of Moon Stones. The Moon Lake was too deep and cold, and even the indigenous piranhas weren’t able to swim to the lake bed. Their fishing efficacy wasn’t any higher than a fishnet.
Could he order the numerous piranhas to attack proactively and steal the Moon Stones in the crowd’s fishnet?
Yang Ling looked at the weird fishermen bustling on the beach. He quickly came up with a marvelous idea. The crowd used hard fishnet to fish out Moon Stones, but even harder fishnets were just a trifle in the face of the piranha’s sharp teeth. If the piranhas kept watch over the fishnets and quickly stole any Moon Stones in the fishnet, then the efficacy would be much higher than when he fished by himself.
“Huh? A Moon Stone. I have obviously detected a Moon Stone’s Energy Ripples, so why didn’t I find it after I collected the net?”
“It’s strange! Could it be that the mist is too thick, and it has affected my senses?”
…
It was really like what Yang Ling had expected. The piranhas shortly sneaked over with Moon Stones in their mouths.
The numerous fishermen were quite disappointed and confused. They assumed that the mist had turned more dense and further weakened their Divine Consciousness’ perception. Even if they found a little hole in the fishnet, they didn’t suspect anything and assumed that it was torn by the sharp reefs in the water. They were unaware that several piranhas were quietly keeping watch over their nets. Yang Ling, hiding, laughed up his sleeves and made a large sum. The amount of Moon Stones in his spatial ring only became higher.
Buzz!
After Yang Ling had counted so many Moon Stones that his hand was almost cramped, the pagoda mark between his brows throbbed, and it emitted a faint cry. He was confused and went inside to take a look. He noticed that a large Energy Whirlwind had formed in the sky at an unknown time, and it was sending down many terrifying cyclones, which attacked the white-robed beauty Sala on the ground.
The Worldly Laws descended again into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. The beauty Sala, who wanted to advance into the God-Level, even in her dreams, finally faced a Divine Tribulation.
Swoosh!
As the cyclones revolved quickly, they fused together and formed a terrifying funnel-shaped tornado. The tornado destroyed everything on the ground. It uprooted the trees and blew away large boulders. Even the seawater in the vicinity was absorbed by it and formed a spectacular water pillar. The beauty Sala was at the center of the tornado, and her face was pale. She muttered to herself and cast layers upon layers of Wind Shields to persist strenuously in the face of the terrifying tornado. Even though she knew long ago that the Divine Tribulation was terrible, she still didn’t expect it to be so terrifying.
“Lord, Sala can’t persist any longer. What should be done?” The Blood Angel Ophelia looked at the shaking beauty Sala, who would be swept away by the tornado at any moment. She was quite worried, but she didn’t have a good comprehension of the Wind Law, and even though she wanted to help, she didn’t know what she should do. She was afraid that she would make this messier by helping, and she was afraid that she would make the tornado turn more ferocious.
Waterspout!
When Yang Ling saw the spectacular water pillar swirled up by the tornado and saw the devastating cyclone in the air, he furrowed his brows. He couldn’t come up with a good method to solve this in a short time. He also didn’t have a good comprehension of the Wind Law like the Blood Angel Ophelia, and the beauty Sala was the sole person who mainly practiced the Wind Law in the whole Magical Beast Army. The Nine-Headed Serpent Hydra could cast several Wind Spells, but its wind was only as thick as half a barrel and wouldn’t be of any help in the face of this terrifying tornado.
BANG!
After a muffled noise echoed out, a large amount of hard hail fell from the sky. It was as hard as meteorites and as dense as rain. As a crashing sound echoed out, the hail smashed the beauty Sala’s body. The beauty Sala had already exhausted her whole body’s power to resist the tornado’s terrible suction force, and she didn’t have any energy left to defend against the hail, which filled the sky. As the hail smashed her body, she quickly became drenched with blood.
Yang Ling discerned that the situation was far from good, and he weaved a Wizard Seal. He planned to rush over forcefully to save the heavily injured beauty Sala, but a surprising sight appeared when he was about to attack.
The devastating tornado’s scope turned higher, and it unexpectedly engulfed even the tall Wizard Pagoda. It tried to pull out the Wizard Pagoda, but as a soft cry echoed out, a dazzling silver light beam shot out of the Wizard Pagoda and struck the Energy Whirlwind in the air. It was instantly extinguished.
The Wizard Pagoda didn’t move by a single jot, but the devastating tornado was instantly dealt with and started dissipating quickly.
The beauty Sala, who was drenched with blood, managed to survive the crisis thanks to the Wizard Pagoda’s protection.
Buzz!
A dazzling light beam descended from the sky and engulfed the beauty Sala, who was on the ground. It repaired her damaged veins quickly. The beauty Sala, who survived this calamity, got an idea, and she started muttering to herself. She cast the mysterious Heavenly Cocoon Transformation, and her body turned hazy before it curled up into a ball. She formed a cocoon like a worm, and she disappeared in front of the crowd.
“This… What happened?”
“Lord, did Sala suffer any mishaps?”
…
When the crowd saw this weird sight, they were all shocked. Even the experienced Blood Angel Ophelia wasn’t an exception. She had seen all kinds of Divine Tribulations, yet she still had never seen a Divine Tribulation as strong as this. The eyes of the Sea Demon Eliza, who was the closest to the beauty Sala, quickly turned tearful. She was afraid that Sala suffered a mishap. “Did she fail in crossing the tribulation or….”
Yang Ling looked at the silver light beam, which still hadn’t disappeared, before he looked into the cocoon at beauty Sala. He was quite confused. It wasn’t wise to rush over rashly without understanding the situation, and he would probably harm the beauty Sala by this.
Swoosh!
After an hour, the silver light beam disappeared in front of the nervous crowd’s gazes, and the cocoon, which covered the beauty Sala, started shivering. Many fine fissures appeared on it like a cracked eggshell, and it started shivering more intensely. The cracks turned larger, and in the end, as a mesmerizing groan echoed out, a fair white hand was stretched out of the large cocoon.
The mesmerizing and beautiful beauty Sala, who was clad in a white robe, came out of the cocoon in front of the crowd’s gaze. She appeared gracefully in front of the crowd, and from afar, she seemed like a fresh flower that had just blossomed. She was beautiful and enchanting. Her every move and gesture contained deadly allure!
“Lord, I have succeeded. I have finally advanced into the God-Level successfully, and I have become a real woman.” After the beauty Sala stood in a daze for a moment, she quickly came back to her senses and rushed toward Yang Ling like a gust of wind. She prostrated excitedly, and when she raised her head again, her eyes had turned tearful. She was so excited that she shed tears!
