Chapter 148: Sacrificing Myself, Shining Universe Blade

The huge emerald 3,000-meter-long vine soared into the air, the branch-out of its vines spreading throughout mid-air.

In that instant, pure essence energy surged into the Divine Devouring Vine, being absorbed and refined by her.

Simultaneously, the Divine Binding Vines in Fog City started to gradually whither, completely losing their liveliness and becoming withered vines.

Obviously, these Divine Binding Vines were all Lu Ji’s puppets, controllable tools that she used to absorb human essence energy.

Currently, Lu Ji was already transcending the tribulation, so she directly retrieved all the human essence energy absorbed by her puppets to use them during the Tribulation Transcendence.

After absorbing a large amount of Divine Binding Vine and human essence energy, the emerald 3,000-meter-long vine turned even more crystal clear.

Meanwhile, that gorgeous woman’s figure also turned more realistic, as if she was a real human. She stood proudly between heaven and earth, and the injuries, which were created by being struck by lightning, were rapidly healing.

Evidently, as a Divine Devouring Vine, her healing abilities were stronger than Divine Binding Vines!

Lu Ji waved her vines as she looked at the black clouds in the sky.

“You human cultivators always say that you’ll kill demons and fiends for the Heavenly Dao. Today, I want to see if this Heavenly Dao’s lightning is able to take my life!”

Lu Ji’s 3,000-meter-long body suddenly rose up from the ground, and the whole vine suddenly whipped toward the heavens like a huge divine whip.

She actually did not plan to wait for the lightning to strike each time but wanted to whip the clouds into dispersing, thus resolving the tribulation from its roots.

Seeing Lu Ji’s aggressive actions, Shen Tian was astounded.

F*ck! You sure I did not transmigrate into a female lead novel!?

So what if you’re a Divine Devouring Vine? You actually dared to directly swing your vine and whip the Heavenly Tribulation on your own accord? This scene is just like the plot of what a Dragon Proud Sky would do, and I can almost hear the “I’m the master of my own destiny”, are you sure this is real?

In fact, even Shen Tian was dumbfounded, not to mention the Heavenly Tribulation.

After the huge vine whip pierced through the black clouds, the lightning that filled the clouds had all stopped for a moment.

However, what followed after was an even more turbulent eruption of lightning, as if they were angered.

As the second lightning struck, it was like a ball of bright Crimson Phoenix burning in fiery flames—the whole sky was dyed red.

That was the Connate Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire) of the Connate Divine Lightning of the Five Elements. It was able to subdue the spirit wood-type demons, such as the Divine Devouring Vine, greatly.

Also, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have been angered by Lu Ji’s offending actions, so the second lightning’s strength was even more powerful. That lightning had even formed the Crimson Phoenix’s real body as if a real divine beast had descended.

With the surge of fearsome lightning and flames, it was shot toward Lu Ji violently. The spirit fog in the whole mountain valley seemed to have dispersed due to that.

There was not a shred of fear in Lu Ji’s eyes, however. “Haha, come!”

After finishing, suffering human faces appeared on the surface of her huge vines. Those people were mostly cultivators who were lost within the Fog Plain due to their greediness. Their essence energy was devoured completely by the Divine Devouring Vines while their souls were trapped within the Divine Devouring Vines, unable to be reincarnated.

Currently, Lu Ji charged toward the Crimson Phoenix III while bringing these people’s souls—she wanted to let these people perish in the lightning and flames!

“Lu Ji, you’re going too far.”

Sword Venerable Qian Yang, who was originally bound by vines, sighed. His body started to burn with raging flames, and the vines tying him up were instantly broken. A radiant flame appeared on the surface of Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s body, forming a longsword that kept on burning.

He sighed.

“You may be the Divine Devouring Vine that is ranked 9th in the Spiritual Wood List and have purposely lost to me many times, but you didn’t know that the Nan Ming Li Fire, which is ranked 10th in the Exceptional Fire List, is under my control. Yet I’ve never endangered your life.

“Never mind, since we’ve come to this, there’s already no right or wrong between us, only this battle is left. Today, we shall fight to the death! If there’s a next life, you reincarnate as a human, or I become a demon!

“Then, our karma will be cleared, and we might be able to finally be together.”

With his whole body burning in fiery flames, a bright light was shot out of the surface of Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s body.

Immediately after, the black clouds in the sky turned even thicker, just like thick dark ink.

Sword Venerable Qian Yang actually had an epiphany, and his whole body started burning with the bright Nan Ming Li Fire.

In that instant, he had even almost reached the Tribulation Transcendence.

“Without the bright sun, all ages would have been like a long night.

The sun shines from heaven, the Sword Flame burns all demons.

Sacrificing myself, Shining Heaven Sword!”

After finishing, Sword Venerable Qian Yang turned into a red sword, which soared into the sky, and nine reddish-gold suns vaguely surrounded the blade—that was the Golden Crow In Heavens.

According to rumors, it was only an avatar that could be formed after cultivating the Imperial Sutra of Sun to greater mastery. Nonetheless, Sword Venerable Qian Yang currently formed it in advance by burning his essence energy.

He became the sword itself and pressed forward with an indomitable will, slashing toward Lu Ji resolutely.

Facing Sword Venerable Qian Yang, who sacrificed himself using forbidden arts to perish together with her, Lu Ji scoffed.

“A coward that dares not face me! I only live this life, no next life! Who would be together with you in the next life?

“It’s a disgrace for the treasure, Nan Ming Li Fire, such a powerful flame to be in the hands of someone like you!

“Forget it. I’ll completely cut off all karmic ties with you today, to prove my Dao and enter the Saint realm!”

The huge emerald vine in the air gathered to form a sharp cone shape. The tip of it pierced toward the sword that Sword Venerable Qian Yang had turned into.

Boom!

The huge emerald vine instantly shattered, but the Nan Ming Li Fire was also broken into pieces. Balls of fire scattered in the air, shooting toward all directions like meteors.

That’s right, Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s cultivation level was, in the end, lower than Lu Ji’s, and he was unable to really slash ruthlessly.

Originally, his cultivation level could not be compared to her, and in addition, his sword was slashed forward with hesitation. Thus, he was naturally unable to slash with crushing force.

As compared to Lu Ji, who seemed flirtatious but firm and decisive, Sword Venerable Qian Yang was in the end weaker. He looked as mighty as flames, but he did not know his own Dao, nor did he understand his Dao Heart.

What he did was not actually wrong, but as a swordsman, without a firm will, naturally, his Sword Dao could not reach the peak. Thus, in the battle with Lu Ji, Sword Venerable Qian Yang had lost completely in the end.

...

After the Nan Ming Li Fire Sword broke into pieces, the Li Fire’s Origins instantly fell to all corners of the mountain valley, burning with raging flames.

One of the Li Fire’s Origins had even brought along part of the Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s soul, who was injured heavily and in a deep sleep, and fell toward the direction of Fog City.

Meanwhile, the defenseless physical body of Lu Ji was also struck by the second Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire)!

As there was no resistance, that Divine Lightning directly penetrated the Divine Devouring Vine’s body.

Then, the remaining lightning instantly shot toward all directions in the mountain valley. Coincidentally, quite a few bolts just nicely landed beside Shen Tian. One had to know that was the lightning which Soul Formation cultivators had to face when transcending the tribulation!

Even if it was only part of it and had only landed beside Shen Tian, it was extremely fearsome.

Shen Tian could only feel the blazing hot and powerful lightning surge throughout his body before his whole body turned numb.

The lightning was crazily destroying Shen Tian’s body, injuring his body heavily. His hair started to stand upright, and his face had instantly turned black. After a long while, he spat out a black breath.

This Heavenly Tribulation lightning is really powerful!

However, this was only a beginning as Lu Ji’s Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning was still continuing!

Naturally, part of the lightning falling beside Shen Tian was something that could not be avoided.
