Protect Our Chief-Chapter 519 - 25: Destiny! Connected Us Together_2
"What about my fourth uncle?" Wang Zongsheng was so anxious that sweat covered his forehead. "He’s trapped in the Cloud Sea Gang Wind. Doesn’t your Yuwen Family have Celestial Human Realm Cultivators? Quickly send someone in to rescue my fourth uncle."
"It’s too late. The heavenly tribulation vortex has already formed. You can’t get in or out." Lady Bilian said, her face slightly heavy. "The heavenly tribulation during the advancement of a Tier Six Spirit Beast is comparable to the power of the Purple Mansion Realm. However, there’s no need to worry too much. The position where Wang Shouzhe is located is the center of the tribulation vortex, which is actually the calmest and safest place. As long as he doesn’t act recklessly, there won’t be any problems."
Jii Mingyu, who also came from a Sixth-Grade Noble Family, understood some of the subtleties involved and quickly grabbed the somewhat agitated Wang Zongsheng, "Lady Bilian is not lying. With the Six-tailed Fire Fox resisting the celestial thunder, the vortex center is the safest. Let’s go, we’re not safe here."
As they spoke, a gang wind swept past, tearing some of the wooden houses around into pieces.
Jii Mingyu dragged Wang Zongsheng away while loudly warning, "Junior Brother Shouzhe, stay honestly in the corner. Don’t make any moves, and absolutely don’t interfere with the heavenly tribulation!"
At that moment, the winds were howling, and it was uncertain if Wang Shouzhe could hear. Everyone could only mutter to themselves, hoping Wang Shouzhe would be wise.
...
Faced with the sudden formation of the terrifying celestial tier, Wang Shouzhe was also speechless. How long had this Six-tailed Fire Fox been delaying its seventh-tier advancement?
Once the aura broke through, the heavenly tribulation came quickly and ferociously, catching him unprepared and trapping him in the vortex of the heavenly tribulation cloud sea.
However, as the head of a family and harboring long-term aspirations, Wang Shouzhe was already well-versed in the breakthrough knowledge of each tier through the academy. A Tier Six fierce/spirit beast encountering the heavenly tribulation during the advancement to Tier Seven is known as the Spirit Transformation Celestial Tribulation. Once it successfully advances to Tier Seven, it can truly open its intelligence, refine the invisible horizontal bone, become literate and articulate, and possess a high intellect.
At that time, their wisdom is no different from humans, even higher than many ordinary humans. In the Outer Domain Wilderness, they become unparalleled great demons.
In this situation, Wang Shouzhe immediately judged what to do. That is to stay still, act as if he doesn’t exist, and never interfere with the heavenly tribulation. Otherwise, any interference would make the tribulation regard him as an enemy, directing a celestial thunder at him, which he wouldn’t be able to withstand.
The tribulation clouds gathered, and the celestial thunder rumbled in preparation.
The Six-tailed Fire Fox chattered incessantly, seemingly advising Wang Shouzhe not to move recklessly, otherwise, he would harm both himself and others. It leaped into the sky, its form growing larger and larger, bracing itself against the celestial thunder.
"Boom!"
The first celestial thunder descended, and the Six-tailed Fire Fox barely wobbled after resisting it, seemingly unharmed.
Following closely were the second and third celestial thunders.
In the Celestial Fox Pavilion.
Wang Shouzhe silently counted the numbers in his heart. According to the rules of the Heavenly Dao’s Tribulation, it should withstand six paths of celestial thunder. In this respect, humans and spirit beasts are quite similar.
When someone in the Spirit Platform Realm ascends to the Celestial Human Realm, they must endure three celestial thunders, reaching the Purple Mansion would require six. However, fierce beasts are more ill-fated than humans, as the power of their celestial thunders seems significantly greater. The number of fierce beasts falling in heavenly tribulations far exceeds humans.
Thinking back to when Ancestor Longyan ascended to the Celestial Human Realm, crossing the heavenly tribulation was indeed too easy.
The fourth path!
"Boom!"
Under the flashing thunderbolts, after bracing the fourth celestial thunder, the Six-tailed Fire Fox’s body wobbled precariously, almost falling.
Wang Shouzhe thought to himself that this wasn’t good. The fox was having such a hard time with the fourth. How could it withstand the more powerful fifth and sixth? If it were any other time, Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t care about this.
But once the heavenly tribulation is formed, regardless of whether the fox can withstand it or not, it will complete its task, leaving no celestial thunder omitted. If the fox couldn’t withstand it, wouldn’t he be the unlucky one...
At this moment, the Six-tailed Fire Fox seemed to realize it was unlikely to overcome the tribulation. Facing the fifth celestial thunder, it opened its mouth and spat out an inner core like a red fireball. The surrounding flames surged, as if trying to make a desperate stand.
"Boom!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The power of the fifth celestial thunder was more ferocious than Wang Shouzhe imagined.
"Crackle!" The Six-tailed Heavenly Fox was struck by the celestial thunder, its entire body charred, the ejected inner core cracked in pieces, falling from the sky. The giant form of the Six-tailed Fire Fox shrank smaller and smaller.
"Boom!" It reverted to its original petite and delicate form, harshly crashing back into the Celestial Fox Pavilion.
In the sky, the most potent sixth path of celestial thunder was brewing, seemingly ready to crush the entire pavilion.
"Uh... alright." Wang Shouzhe was speechless, today’s task seemed extremely simple at first—just coaxing a spirit beast to eat. Who would’ve thought, the daily task turned into an epic level mission.
The Six-tailed Fire Fox looked at Wang Shouzhe, its expressive eyes filled with apology, as if expressing that it implicated him. But soon, its eyes showed a hint of joy, seemingly saying that having such a handsome young man as company... doesn’t seem so regretful.
No regrets, my foot?
Wang Shouzhe helplessly dashed to its side, picked up the charred Six-tailed Fire Fox, and then his Profound Qi surged wildly, flowing into its body.
Under Wang Shouzhe’s highly therapeutic Profound Qi, the injuries of the Six-tailed Fire Fox were recovering rapidly at a visibly discernible speed. It was extremely surprised, its jewel-like eyes filled with confusion.
Yet Wang Shouzhe’s actions were clearly interfering with the Heavenly Dao’s operation.
The tribulation clouds in the sky grew even more turbulent, the thunder’s brewing light flashed, seemingly becoming even stronger.
"Little fox, our destinies are now thoroughly intertwined." Wang Shouzhe was making every effort to heal it, "You must withstand the sixth celestial thunder, otherwise, we both will be doomed together. You must hang in there, for the sake of the both of us~~"
"Chee! Chee!" The Six-tailed Fire Fox chirped excitedly twice and then bashfully snuggled into Wang Shouzhe’s chest, softly chirping, as if telling something.
Wang Shouzhe was left utterly baffled, what is this situation? I told you to withstand the celestial thunder properly, what are you being so coy for? Is now the time for flirting?
However, fortunately, Wang Shouzhe’s own mysterious bloodline, although incomprehensible, had extremely powerful and terrifying healing properties. In no time, it seemed to have recovered half of its injuries.
But at this moment.
The brewing sixth celestial thunder finally crashed down, far more powerful than the fifth.
The Six-tailed Fire Fox immediately darted out of Wang Shouzhe’s embrace, flying up against the gang wind into the sky, letting out a thunderous screech that seemed to scatter the tribulation clouds considerably.
Wang Shouzhe loudly encouraged, "That’s right, that’s the spirit! You have to believe in yourself, you can definitely endure it." Are you kidding? If you can’t withstand it, then we both die!
"Chee!"
The Six-tailed Fire Fox revealed its several-zhang-sized figure, its bright red fur glowing, and confronted the celestial thunder.
"Boom!" The sixth celestial thunder struck it as if on cue.
Yet the celestial thunder was so powerful that even when divided, its force still exceeded the ordinary final celestial thunders by a large margin, as if the Heavenly Dao had already recognized Wang Shouzhe as an "enemy" for interfering with its operation.
"I can’t help it." Wang Shouzhe muttered, it felt as though his entire body was paralyzed, uncomfortably chilled. The power of this level of celestial thunder, especially the last few, was far beyond an ordinary Purple Mansion thunderbolt. Even just a split from the sixth celestial thunder was powerful enough.
At the current moment, the Six-tailed Fire Fox was of no help at all. Everything would depend on himself now.
All these thoughts passed in a flash, and Wang Shouzhe braced himself, moving to shield them both.
