Chapter 551 The Tribulation of the Inner Demon (Part 1)

Time passed by minute by second, and the terrifying thunder struck down one after another.

Li Mu's eyes widened and he clenched his hands into fists. His nails dug deeply into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain. He stared at Xue'er in Lei Jie, anxiously, wishing he could take her place.

Under the endless tribulation thunder, at this moment, the hair on Xueer's body became charred and curled in the lightning, and the bloody wounds were exposed under the skin. The blood and thunder and lightning were intertwined. The tragic scene was shocking.

Every thunderbolt of the Alien True Spirit Thunder Tribulation contains terrifying and destructive power. Xueer seemed to be in an endless purgatory, her body was crumbling under the ravages of the thunder tribulation, and the six fox tails were broken off one after another.

Every break of the fox tail is like cutting off a part of Xue'er's soul, doubling her pain and despair.

"Xue'er, take the Ziyao Dao Pill, hurry up!"

Li Mu waved his hand and threw out a spiritual elixir, sending it to Xue'er, urging him with his spiritual thoughts.

However, Xueer turned a deaf ear. She just looked at Li Mu helplessly, with a touch of determination and reluctance flashing in her eyes. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Then, Xue'er's last fox tail was chopped off by the lightning tribulation, which seemed to have heralded the end of this thunder tribulation.

Li Mu looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it became difficult to breathe.

Qingyangzi frowned, with a look of remorse on his face. He should not have persuaded Xueer to give up the help of the Taoist weapon, so that he died so tragically under the thunder calamity.

"No way! Miss Xue'er failed to escape the tribulation!"

The three elders of Qixuan Sect had mixed feelings in their hearts and their faces were full of disbelief. They all looked at Li Mu, full of worry. The friendship between the sect leader and Xue'er was extraordinary. If she fell, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for him. of blow.

However, they soon discovered something unusual. The worry and sadness on the sect master's face suddenly disappeared, revealing a look of surprise.

Seeing this, the three of them looked over the Tribulation Platform.

At this moment, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly changed subtly, and the raging thunder clouds had stopped. However, the thunder clouds did not fade away, as if a more powerful force was brewing.

Could it be, didn’t Miss Xueer fall?

really! Under the terrifying thunder catastrophe, Xue'er, who had her six tails cut off, was scarred but did not fall down. Her eyes were closed tightly and her face was calm, as if she was immersed in some kind of deep meditation.

A warm and soft silver light suddenly appeared all over her body, and her body glowed with a different kind of vitality. The originally charred and damaged body began to slowly recover under the influence of this mysterious power.

The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The charred hair gradually fell off and was replaced by softer and shinier silver hair. What was even more shocking was that the six broken fox tails were nourished by this power. Miraculously, it grew back stronger and stronger than before.

Five tails, six tails, seven tails, eight tails, nine tails!

Xue'er's nine tails spread out behind her, and her body was gradually shrouded in a faint silver glow, like the most dazzling elf under the moonlight, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura.

"If you don't break, you will be reborn. The bloodline of the Sky Fox has been successfully activated!" Qingyangzi was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Xue'er could be reborn in such a desperate situation and unleash the full potential of the nine-tailed Sky Fox.

The three elders of Qixuan Sect were also shocked. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Not only did Xueer not die from the thunder tribulation, but she also completed the awakening and transformation of her bloodline during the thunder tribulation, and advanced to become a real The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox will most likely be able to survive this True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

"Xue'er..." Li Mu called softly with joy, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Xue'er slowly opened her eyes and met Li Mu's eyes. There was no need to say anything between the two, everything was said without words.

"Brother Li, I'm fine." Xue'er smiled slightly and sent a message back to Li Mu. Then, she looked up at the thunderclouds above her head and devoted herself to overcoming the disaster.

After a short period of silence, the terrifying thundercloud suddenly surged again, but it was no longer as violent and chaotic as before, but with a strange rhythm, and more powerful thunder was brewing in the clouds, as if it was not simple. The power of destruction is more like a test and recognition of the strong between heaven and earth.

"Crack!" A scarlet thunder suddenly cut through the sky and struck Xue'er fiercely.

Xue'er swung her figure, wrapped her nine tails, and placed her entire body under the nine fox tails, wrapping her body like an eggshell, and the silver glow of the fox tails formed a light shield.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the thunder collided with the light shield, bursting out with bright light, which illuminated the entire world like daylight. The light shield trembled violently, but was not broken by the thunder. Instead, it became deformed under the terrifying impact. more stable,

Scarlet lightning jumped on the light shield, and scarlet thunder snakes entangled it, trying to penetrate the seemingly weak barrier. However, the power of the nine-tailed sky fox was far from simple. The silver light shield seemed to have life. Like, contains endless vitality.

"Crack!" Another bolt of thunder struck down.

The second way, the third way,...

In a moment, Xue'er was once again overwhelmed by countless scarlet thunderbolts.

Xue'er closed her eyes and concentrated. The blood power of the nine-tailed fox in her body boiled to the extreme, and she launched a fierce confrontation with the endless power of thunder. At the same time, she endured the addition of thunder.

At this moment, Xue'er fully integrated into the baptism of the tribulation thunder to temper her body and feel the terrifying power of the tribulation thunder. It is the purest energy in the world. It is an excellent opportunity to temper the body and sharpen the will.

With the continuous bombardment of thunder, the Sky Fox bloodline seemed to be completely awakened. A stream of warm power rushed through the bloodline, interweaving with the power of thunder, forming a delicate balance. The body continued to contract and expand under the stimulation of thunder and lightning, reshaping the body and making it more tenacious and indestructible.

"Master, there is no need to worry too much. Xue'er is very smart. At this moment, she is using this thunder tribulation to temper her body and completely activate the Sky Fox bloodline hidden in her body!"

Seeing Li Mu's nervous look, Qing Yangzi smiled slightly and hurriedly comforted him.

Hearing this, Li Mu's frown finally relaxed a little, but the worry in his eyes did not completely dissipate. The True Spirit Thunder Tribulation was so terrifying that even if Xue'er showed amazing recovery and transformation at this moment, he could not completely let go of his heart.

"I hope so..." Li Mu muttered to himself, his eyes never leaving Xue'er's figure covered by lightning. He could also feel the increasingly powerful aura in Xue'er's body. However, the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation was only halfway through. Even if Xue'er broke out of the cocoon and was reborn, the next challenge would still be extremely difficult.

Time passed by bit by bit, the power of the heavenly tribulation became stronger and stronger, the scarlet lightning gathered madly in the clouds, as if even the sky was dyed bloody, a heart-pounding pressure enveloped the entire tribulation platform, this wave of tribulation thunder seemed to be about to end,

"Crack!" The last thick scarlet thunder, from the thundercloud, came straight to Xue'er.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the scarlet thunder collided with the silver net bag, erupting with a deafening roar, and the entire tribulation platform was shaken by this force.

Xue'er unfolded her nine tails and untied the nine tails' protection. As the red electric snakes roamed around her body, a pair of red and yellow vertical pupils stared at the thundercloud above her head, sensing something.

An unprecedented energy fluctuation surged in the thundercloud, which was completely different from the previous thunder. This force seemed to act directly on the depths of people's hearts, bringing a sense of fear that made Xue'er very uncomfortable.

Xue'er already knew the test of the next wave of thunder tribulation - the inner demon tribulation.

The inner demon tribulation is the most dangerous level among the countless people who have to face the tribulation. It directly acts on the depths of people's hearts, seducing the deepest fears, desires and regrets in the hearts of cultivators, making people lost in illusions, and even self-destructing.

"This... This is the inner demon tribulation!" Seeing this, Qing Yangzi couldn't help but look solemn. He knew the horror of the inner demon tribulation, even though he almost died in this tribulation when he was crossing the tribulation.

Li Mu's expression tightened, and he quickly conveyed a firm belief to Xue'er with his mind: "Xue'er, stay awake, don't be trapped by the inner demon!"

Xue'er smiled at Li Mu, calmed her inner fluctuations, concentrated her mind, and prepared to face the test of the inner demon tribulation.

Soon, the inner demon thunder tribulation descended, but did not cause any harm to Xue'er's body. Instead, a series of illusions emerged in her mind as if they were real.

The scene of the tribe being destroyed by the demon cultivators first flooded into Xue'er's mind, with flames rising to the sky, the tribe members wailing all over the field, and blood dyed the entire snow red. That was the deepest pain in her heart.

Xue'er witnessed the scene of the tribe being destroyed by the Nine Demon Sect, witnessed her mother dying in her arms, watched her compatriots fall one by one, and she was powerless. Anger, sadness, and helplessness surged like a tide, almost drowning Xue'er.

However, Xue'er soon returned to her normal expression, with a wooden face, ignoring the scene in front of her, knowing the power of the inner demon. However, the Nine Demon Sect had been destroyed by Brother Li, and the power of the Demon Abyss had been re-sealed. The blood feud between the tribe and her mother had been avenged, and she would not be blinded by hatred.

This was the power of the inner demon, a trap set to break her will. Xueer closed her eyes, temporarily sealed those painful memories, and successfully built a defense line for her heart.

The first heart demon tribulation was successfully resolved by Xueer, and soon, another heart demon tribulation appeared.

This time, the illusion was no longer the cruelty and hatred of the outside world, but turned to the softest part of Xueer's heart - the emotional entanglement between her and Li Mu.

The scene changed, and Xueer was in the warm little house in the treasure house. Outside the window were all kinds of spiritual flowers and herbs, and inside the house was the sweet time she spent with Li Mu. But as time went by, the picture began to distort, Li Mu's face became blurred, and his eyes revealed indifference and alienation. In the end, he turned and left, leaving only a cold word: "Xueer, let's stop here!"

This scene was like a bolt from the blue, and Xueer's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant. She couldn't believe that Li Mu would abandon her so easily. The emotions of fear, loss, and despair intertwined, as if to swallow her.

…

“No, this is not true!” Xue’er screamed in her heart, desperately trying to break free from the shackles of this illusion, but every effort was like hitting cotton, weak and pale.

However, at this moment of despair, a force deep in Xue’er’s heart quietly awakened, recalling her temperament with Li Mu, the days of living and dying with him for hundreds of years, and the tacit understanding of smiling at each other without saying anything.

“Brother Li, I believe in you and the feelings between us.” Xue’er muttered in her heart, her eyes gradually becoming firm and clear.

As Xue’er’s inner belief became firmer, the illusion around her began to blur gradually until it completely dissipated. She opened her eyes again and found that she was still standing on the tribulation platform, and the thunderclouds were still rolling above her head, but her state of mind was completely different. She felt unprecedented calmness and confidence. That was the power from the depths of her heart, enough to resist the invasion of any inner demon.

After the thunder tribulation, Xue'er and Li Mu resumed their normal lives. Time flies, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. However, the spiritual power between heaven and earth has become increasingly thin, like a dry riverbed, which can no longer nourish all things. Countless cultivators have difficulty in making progress, and even worse, their cultivation has regressed. The entire spiritual world has fallen into panic and despair.

As the spiritual power of heaven and earth has dried up, the seal formation that suppresses the Demon Abyss passage suddenly cracks, breaks through the seal, and descends into the spiritual world.

…

Above the tribulation platform, the thunderclouds in the sky are like a surging sea of ​​ink, changing unpredictably, sometimes condensing into the shape of a hideous beast, and sometimes tearing into dazzling lightning, foreshadowing the ongoing thunder tribulation.

The nine-tailed fox in the center of the tribulation platform stood there blankly, his eyes lost focus, as if bound by invisible chains, his body stiff, and his originally agile and elegant aura became abnormally disordered at this moment, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if he was experiencing a fierce struggle deep in his heart.

"Damn it! Xue'er has fallen into this heavenly tribulation."

Li Mu's face changed drastically. He had seen that Xue'er had easily passed through the inner demon tribulation several times before, but was deeply trapped in the last inner demon tribulation, facing an unprecedented predicament.

Li Mu's brows were tightly knitted into a river, and his eyes flashed with complex light. He was experiencing a fierce struggle deep in his heart. On the one hand, he was eager to help and rescue Xue'er from this endless nightmare; on the other hand, he was well aware of the particularity of the inner demon tribulation. Any external intervention could become a catalyst, not only failing to rescue Xue'er, but also possibly causing her to fall into a deeper quagmire.

For a while, Li Mu was in a dilemma and was undecided.

Seeing this, Qing Yangzi sighed and stepped forward to advise: "Master, don't be impatient. Xue'er's calamity is indeed extremely dangerous, but it is also a necessary test for her on the road of cultivation."

"Ms. Xue'er has a kind heart, but because of this, in some extreme situations, she may also become a soft spot for the inner demon to attack. However, it is these soft spots that, if successfully overcome, will become her strongest armor. Master, choose to trust her at this moment!" Qing Yangzi looked at Li Mu and added.

Hearing this, Li Mu sighed, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and the hand that was ready to cast a spell fell down weakly. (End of this chapter)
