"What? Has Junior Sister never seen it before?"
Yuan Shu tilted her head and smiled. After countering with a question, her tone shifted, and she said with a faint smile, "It's fine, I don't mind your lack of experience, don't get anxious."
Su Lingxi's sneering expression froze, and her face turned slightly cold.
"Seventh Senior Sister, a super-divine beast taking human form is something that hasn't been seen in nearly a thousand years. Let alone the Falling Immortal Sect, this is the first time the entire Eastern Realm has encountered it."
"You say you've seen it, but where did you see it?"
Yuan Shu raised an eyebrow. "Even if I told you, you wouldn't know it. Why ask so clearly? Junior Sister, do you not believe your Seventh Senior Sister's words?"
Su Lingxi, "..."
As if I would believe you!
Since when did Yuan Shu learn how to brag after her temper changed?
"Seventh Senior Sister, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. Lies will always be exposed."
Yuan Shu raised her brow. "How about we make a bet? Let's bet on the changes in the lightning tribulation later."
"If I guess correctly, you will obediently bow and apologize to me in front of everyone, and say loudly ten times, 'I, Su Lingxi, am blind and underestimated Seventh Senior Sister. Seventh Senior Sister is really awesome, really great, really fantastic'?"
Su Lingxi's expression stiffened; she didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so confident.
A super-divine beast taking human form only had a few brief records in ancient books.
No one had ever seen it with their own eyes!
Let alone the changes in the heavenly lightning falling from the tribulation clouds. It was completely different from human cultivators undergoing tribulation, so it was impossible for anyone to know.
Where did Yuan Shu get such great confidence?
"Junior Sister, you haven't spoken for a long time. Could it be that you don't dare?"
Yuan Shu looked at Su Lingxi with a half-smile.
She suddenly felt that besides cultivating, teasing the original book's female lead was also quite fun!
"Since Seventh Senior Sister says so, I will naturally agree!" Su Lingxi gritted her teeth. "But what if you lose?"
"If I lose... I'll be at your disposal." Yuan Shu spread her hands and smiled indifferently.
Su Lingxi's eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to slap Yuan Shu in the face and gain favor with their senior brothers!
As soon as the thought arose, Su Lingxi immediately agreed.
"Senior Brothers, you all heard it. Junior Sister made a bet with me. Later, when she loses, don't let her off just because she cries."
Yuan Shu smiled as she scanned the people present. When looking at Third Senior Brother Long Yunhui, she specially blinked at him.
It seemed to say, "Don't go easy on her, Third Senior Brother!"
Long Yunhui chuckled helplessly and nodded at her.
As they spoke, above the tribulation clouds, a lightning whip condensed, twisting up and down in the cloud layer. Just as it was about to strike down, Yuan Shu spoke.
"The first strike, Skin Punishment, silvery-white. It is the lightest strike in the lightning tribulation of a super-divine beast taking human form."
"Rumble!"
With a loud bang, the silvery-white heavenly lightning broke through like a dragon fish, crashing down with powerful momentum.
Xiushe suddenly raised its head, opened its giant mouth, and let out a hiss that echoed through the valley.
The moment it collided with the heavenly lightning, ripples of spiritual power surged out, causing the surrounding air to constantly vibrate!
A lot of lightning tribulation energy also rippled out, sweeping towards the mountains, forests, and fields in all directions.
At this time, the disciples summoned from various peaks to set up defensive formations came into play.
They protected these fields from the aftermath of the lightning tribulation.
Everyone's expression was horrified. The first lightning tribulation actually had such power?
At this time, no one was blind enough to dare step into the attack range of the lightning tribulation.
Even the sect master, Qu Qing, without the thick and rough skin of a demonic beast, could not withstand such domineering forces of heaven and earth!
And in just a moment, the figure of the second heavenly lightning brewed above the tribulation clouds.
"The second strike, Blood Punishment, white-cyan heavenly lightning."
The moment Yuan Shu's voice fell, the white-cyan heavenly lightning, as thick as a bowl, fell again!
"She got the colors of both heavenly lightning strikes right?" On the side, Shu Linyuan turned his head to look at Yuan Shu in surprise.
This was also his first time seeing a super-divine beast take human form. He didn't know there were so many details about this lightning tribulation!
Su Lingxi's eyes changed slightly, but she didn't believe Yuan Shu had really seen a super-divine beast take human form. She snorted coldly and remained noncommittal.
Yuan Shu wasn't anxious either. As the third heavenly lightning brewed, she slowly said, "The third strike, Tendon Punishment, green-cyan heavenly lightning."
"Rumble!"
A heavenly lightning slightly thicker than a bowl fell, and it was indeed green-cyan heavenly lightning!
Several Azure Cloud Peak disciples around who heard her words looked at each other in dismay.
They were somewhat in disbelief.
Had Yuan Shu really seen the heavenly lightning of a super-divine beast taking human form?
Su Lingxi's face changed again and again, and the hand in her sleeve clenched slightly.
Yuan Shu chuckled and continued, "The fourth strike, Bone Punishment, green-blue heavenly lightning."
"The fifth strike, Flesh Punishment, blue-purple heavenly lightning."
As Yuan Shu's words slowly fell.
The heavenly lightning crashed down one after another, each thicker than the last.
"The sixth strike, purple-orange heavenly lightning."
"The seventh strike, orange-red heavenly lightning."
Lightning fire scorched the snake scales, splashing strings of sparks. The previously excited Xiushe had already quieted down amidst the terrifying lightning flashes.
Especially when the seventh lightning flash fell, there were not many good pieces of flesh left under Xiushe's dark blue scales.
It was pitch black all over, lying on the ground on its last breath!
Everyone around was frightened by the increasingly powerful flashes of lightning.
Many people were even unwilling to stand at the mouth of the valley anymore and began to retreat, afraid of being caught in the crossfire by this divine lightning of heavenly punishment.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Xiushe's charred body moved, and it slowly got up again.
The lightning tribulation could not stop, meaning it had no extra time to rest.
It had to adjust its condition at an extremely fast speed!
"The eighth strike, crimson heavenly lightning, Soul Execution!"
Yuan Shu's voice was unhurried and appeared just in time.
At the same time, Xiushe flicked its long tail, sweeping up a sky full of crushed stones and smashing them toward the lightning. Its massive body tumbled in the lightning net and went up to meet it again!
"Rumble!"
The crimson heavenly lightning fell head-on. Before Xiushe could react, it was fiercely struck down into the valley.
The body that could barely be seen as a snake just now was completely charred!
"It's not going to make it, right?" Several exclamations sounded in the crowd.
"As expected of an ancient fierce beast. If that kind of lightning punishment fell on us, we would definitely be struck until not even scum remained!"
"Exactly, so scary!"
At the same time, the tribulation clouds overhead were already brewing the ninth heavenly lightning.
Yuan Shu slowly raised her head, her expression serious. "The ninth strike, black heavenly lightning, God Annihilation, and also the last heavenly lightning!"
"If it survives this ninth heavenly lightning, it can take human form."
"If it fails, it will be eternally damned!"
Hearing this, everyone held their breath and stared with wide eyes.
Obviously, through Yuan Shu's series of introductions just now, the people around had already believed what Yuan Shu said.
Xiushe had been lying motionless on the ground for quite a while.
But the tribulation clouds above its head had not dispersed, which meant it was still alive.
Looking at Xiushe's state, it was estimated that the final strike would determine the outcome!
"Three Peak Masters, Elders, if the fierce beast succeeds in taking human form, I'm afraid it will bring a huge disaster to the Falling Immortal Sect."
"Later, no matter what the result of the ninth heavenly lightning strike is, you must join me in making a move to take it down!"
Sect Master Qu Qing spoke with a solemn expression.
This ancient Xiushe was originally a divine beast. After breaking through to a super-divine beast, its strength was equivalent to a human cultivator's Body Integration Realm.
If it remained like this, confined in the forbidden grounds of the Falling Immortal Sect by formations, they could still restrain it.
Now that it was undergoing human transformation, if it succeeded, it might just break through to the legendary Mahayana realm.
Should that day truly come, it would likely spell disaster for the entire Luoxian Sect!
It was only a pity that two of the five Peak Masters were absent today; otherwise, their chances of success would have been somewhat higher.
But even so, if they worked together and struck during its period of weakness right after the Xiushe endured its lightning tribulation, there was still a chance they could successfully take it down!
