Chapter 1691
Success
Even though Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had exhausted all their merits and severed their karmic ties with the Changming Realm, when the two were about to cross the world membrane and enter the void, the Heavenly Dao was unwilling to let them leave and wanted to keep them there!
However, the brother and sister had made up their minds, and it was not something that could be changed by the will of Heaven. Therefore, with an even stronger and more resolute will, they took a step forward, successfully crossed the world membrane, and returned to the void.
hum-
The moment the two returned to the void, a small ball of golden light of merit quickly condensed above their heads, then split in two and entered their bodies.
"This is……"
A look of surprise flashed in Li Chengsheng's eyes. He closed his eyes to check, somewhat incredulous, but soon he opened them and said, "It really is merit!"
“I never imagined that saving the world would bring me such great merit…” Li Chengshuo, who was also being examined, couldn’t help but sigh.
The merits that people often talk about are all merits within the world, called Heavenly Merits or Merits of Heaven and Earth. Anyone who contributes to the development of the world can potentially receive them, and they are not too difficult to obtain.
But the merits of the Great Way are different!
Not only are they rare and hard to come by, but more importantly, they are extremely difficult to obtain!
If it weren't for the fact that the brother and sister could combine their powers to synthesize the Yin-Yang Laws and that they encountered the Changming Realm, a world that was falling but not yet completely destroyed, they would not have been able to save it.
The merits of the Great Dao can also be used to break through realms, turn misfortune into good fortune, and subdue evil spirits, but they have a greater effect and are more effective.
However, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo do not need to use the Great Dao Merit at present, because they had already broken through their realms when they were in the Changming Realm. They just had not yet undergone the tribulation, and their cultivation had not caught up.
The reason why the two of them were in a hurry to leave the Changming Realm was not only because they were afraid of being assimilated and becoming beings of this realm, but also because they could not suppress their breakthrough.
"Big brother, you should break through first."
After the two left the Changming Realm and arrived at a void where there were no living beings nearby, Li Chengshuo spoke.
They both knew that breaking through at the same time was not advisable, because the range of the Xuanxian-level lightning tribulation was too vast. If the two of them were to receive the lightning tribulation at the same time, it would easily cause the two lightning tribulations to come into contact, multiplying their power and making their situation extremely dangerous.
In addition, the lack of a protector is also a major problem, because if a being suddenly appears during the breakthrough process, it can easily provoke the lightning tribulation and cause its power to surge.
Therefore, it is necessary to leave one person behind to help protect the Dharma and guard against all kinds of unexpected events.
However, the second person among them to break through the tribulation naturally has to bear such risks.
Li Chengshuo took the initiative to speak up, wanting to let her bear the risk so that Li Chengsheng could focus on his breakthrough.
In addition, another problem will arise: once they both successfully break through, they will be sent into the Xuanxian level void, at which point they may be very far apart and unable to continue training together.
Because once you successfully break through to the Xuanxian realm, barring any special circumstances, you will be instantly transported to the corresponding void!
"no!"
Li Chengsheng resolutely refused. He would never leave the risk to Li Chengshuo to bear. This was his responsibility as the eldest brother and also a long-standing habit.
"You break through first, and I will protect you!"
His tone was very firm, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.
After saying that, he stared intently at Li Chengshuo.
"Ok."
She knew her older brother's stubborn nature; once he made a decision, he would never change it. In order not to waste any more time, she had no choice but to agree.
Li Chengshuo then began to adjust her own state, and soon she was ready to receive the tribulation lightning!
The originally gray void rapidly gathered large, pitch-black tribulation clouds above her head, and after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, they spread out in all directions.
In a short while, a cloud of calamity covering hundreds of acres appeared in the void.
Sparks of lightning danced and flickered in the clouds, resembling a giant five-clawed dragon constantly accumulating power within them.
Faced with the oppressive force emanating from the lightning tribulation, Li Chengshuo remained remarkably calm, showing no fear or apprehension whatsoever, only unwavering confidence!
Rumbling--
Not long after, the first bolt of lightning, accompanied by a deafening roar, struck straight down on her.
With a deafening boom, like a heavy hammer, it crashed into the chaos. Li Chengshuo faced this attack head-on. A wisp of moonlight flew from her fingertips. The light seemed weak, but the moment it touched the tribulation lightning, it froze into an ice sculpture. With a gentle wave, it shattered into pieces.
Even after surviving a lightning strike, she remained remarkably relaxed.
Then came the second, the third...
One after another, the tribulation lightning bolts, their power constantly increasing, fell from the tribulation clouds.
Each of them wanted to kill Li Chengshuo, but she blocked them all.
After an unknown amount of time, the pitch-black tribulation cloud above her head had turned gray, as if it had exhausted most of its power.
And this tribulation finally ushered in the last and most terrifying tribulation lightning!
There was no sound. No! It wasn't that there was no sound, but that the sound was so loud that they couldn't hear it at all.
A streak of black lightning, seemingly having absorbed all the colors of the tribulation clouds, tore through space and appeared directly in front of Li Chengshuo.
The next instant, the tribulation lightning exploded, forming a huge mushroom cloud in the void!
And this was just the aftershock, which stirred up one towering wave after another in the chaos.
Even Li Chengsheng, who was protecting the Dharma from a distance, had to retreat and dared not approach easily.
"Shuo'er..."
He stared with worry at the center of the lightning tribulation, a place shrouded in dark lightning, making it impossible to see anything inside.
At this moment, Li Chengshuo was indeed facing an unprecedented and enormous crisis!
The power of this final tribulation lightning far exceeded her expectations.
Fortunately, she realized something was wrong the moment the tribulation lightning struck and immediately changed her strategy, expending all her magical power to unleash a large number of defensive divine abilities.
At the same time, Li Chengshuo himself transformed into a Taiyin star to protect himself from harm.
Rumbling--
The lightning bolts bombarded her relentlessly, trying to break through her defenses, but ultimately failed. Instead, due to the excessive consumption of power, their effectiveness rapidly declined.
After an unknown amount of time, the tribulation lightning gradually dimmed, its power weakened significantly, and eventually disappeared.
Before Li Chengshuo could even catch his breath, a streak of black light pierced through the air and directly entered her sea of consciousness.
Taking advantage of her extremely poor condition, the inner demon quickly set up an illusion to trap her, gradually depleting her power until it finally devoured her and made her a stepping stone for its own further advancement.
But the inner demon never expected that she was prepared all along!
From the depths of his consciousness, a seemingly ordinary pebble flew out, and in the next instant, it suddenly shone brightly, like a bright moon, its gentle light bathing the entire sea of consciousness. This not only suppressed the power of his inner demons but also strengthened Li Chengshuo's soul, making it easier to fight against them.
But if that's all there is to it, then she wouldn't consider it the key to turning the tide!
The greatest purpose of that 'pebble' is to directly attack the inner demon, thereby greatly weakening its power.
The bright moon transformed into a stream of light, appearing directly above the inner demon's head before crashing down upon it.
"Ahhh!"
The inner demon instantly unleashed a shrill, piercing scream. In just a moment, it looked extremely disheveled, and its aura weakened considerably.
"What kind of bizarre methods are these?!" the inner demon roared, demanding an explanation.
Li Chengshuo naturally wouldn't answer its question. Instead, taking advantage of its weakness, he decisively launched a fierce attack and annihilated it.
boom!
The moment her inner demon was destroyed, the external tribulation lightning immediately reacted, with rolling tribulation clouds transforming into the purest spiritual energy, entering her body and being absorbed and refined by her dantian.
After breaking through his realm, Li Chengshuo's cultivation also successfully crossed that threshold, making him a true Xuanxian realm cultivator!
A powerful pressure erupted from her body, and her aura was many times stronger than before.
The moment she successfully broke through, she felt an irresistible force rushing towards her, but fortunately, this force was not malicious at all.
She understood that the Great Dao did not allow her to remain in the Celestial Immortal Realm void any longer and wanted to send her away as soon as possible!
However, considering that Li Chengsheng would also be undergoing tribulation soon, and the dangers of the Xuanxian level void, she immediately made a decision. She chose to consume the Dao merit she had recently obtained, so that she could stay in the Tianxian level void for a while longer.
After Li Chengshuo made his decision, that power dissipated silently. Clearly, out of respect for the merits of the Great Dao, the Great Dao granted her request.
"You!"
Seeing this scene, Li Chengsheng, who was helping to protect the Dharma from a distance, sighed with a mixture of helplessness and emotion.
He knew that Li Chengshuo did this because he was worried about him and couldn't bear to part with him.
If I had known, he should have undergone the tribulation and broken through first. In that case, it would have consumed his Great Dao merit.
Unfortunately, he hadn't thought of this method before, while Li Chengshuo was quick-witted and came up with a solution in an instant.
In order not to disappoint her good intentions in consuming the merits of the Great Dao, Li Chengsheng did not waste any more time and decisively chose to accept the tribulation of lightning.
The calamity clouds that had just dissipated were gathering again not far away.
Compared to the previous tribulation lightning, the power of this tribulation lightning seems to be two degrees stronger.
Even so, the tribulation did not cause any harm to Li Chengsheng, and the whole process went very smoothly without any accidents, allowing him to successfully break through to the Xuanxian realm.
"Let's go!"
Li Chengsheng also sensed the powerful force approaching, but he did not submit. Instead, he resisted and flew towards Li Chengshuo.
He only gave up resisting when the brother and sister held hands and were no longer separated.
She also withdrew her remaining merits from the Great Dao and obeyed the Great Dao's teleportation.
The next instant, the two vanished into thin air!
Even beings who cultivate spatial laws nearby cannot detect any spatial fluctuations.
The two who had already left were unaware that shortly after they left, several groups of celestial beings arrived nearby. They had all heard the commotion and hurriedly made their way to the location.
Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.
The two people who caused all this commotion have already left.
But from another perspective, they were also lucky, because they avoided two Xuanxian cultivators.
……
In the blink of an eye, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had already arrived at the second level of the Xuanxian stage void!
If you only look at the appearance, you can't actually tell the difference, because the void is filled with chaotic spiritual energy, making it difficult to distinguish.
However, the chaotic spiritual energy has become even more concentrated, but at the same time, it can threaten their lives in the void.
After all, once they break through, they are no longer at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, but at the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm. With such strength, it is impossible for them to lord it over in the void. It would be extremely difficult for them to even protect their own lives.
"Let's go."
Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo did not linger in the same spot. Since there was no clear direction in the void, they had no choice but to randomly choose a direction.
Perhaps because they possessed great merit, the two of them had good luck for a long time afterward and did not encounter any danger.
They quickly found a peaceful void, where the two decided to stay and go into seclusion to consolidate their cultivation and adapt to their current level and level of expertise.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
In a remote corner of the Myriad Realms.
Logically speaking, this place is desolate and barren, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.
But starting today, this little-known place will bring a catastrophe to the Myriad Realms and countless living beings!
At midnight that day, thick clouds obscured all moonlight and starlight, plunging the area into complete darkness from which no light could be seen.
click-
A barely perceptible cracking sound rang out, and the once peaceful space suddenly appeared like a shattered mirror, with cracks appearing everywhere!
Before long, a black hole three zhang in size was formed.
The moment the black hole stabilized, a stream of black liquid gushed out from it, quickly covering an area of several miles in radius.
If you look closely, you'll find that this black stream is actually formed by the convergence of countless black insects!
After an unknown amount of time, the black current finally stopped, but the area covered by those black insects had reached a terrifying hundreds of miles.
If we count the number of black insects, it's probably no less than hundreds of millions!
The black hole seemed to have run out of energy, flickered a few times, and was then repaired.
However, before that, five rather special figures emerged from that black hole and arrived in the Myriad Profound Realm.
"Hmm~"
One of the blue-faced, fanged monsters took a deep breath and let out a sound of intoxication and ecstasy, saying, "What a wonderful world!" (End of Chapter)
