Chapter 68 Heavenly Tribulation, Here It Comes Again!?
Chapter 68 Heavenly Tribulation, Here It Comes Again!?
Several strange popping sounds came from the stone egg.
Luo Sifan and the other person abandoned their thoughts and stared in horror at the several cracks that had appeared on the stone egg.
A terrifying aura that sent chills down their spines swept over them, originating from the crack in the stone pebble!
"Qingyao! Qingyao!"
Lin Qianxiu, despite brandishing the banner of her newly recognized mother, lacked confidence.
Luo Sifan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he had already spoken.
"Awoo!"
A strange noise suddenly arose in the stone chamber, and the stone pebbles exploded into several pieces with a bang. Gray and yellow vapors, like smoke and mist, instantly filled the entire stone chamber.
The smoke seemed to have a life of its own, and it poured directly into Luo Sifan and Lin Qianxiu.
Ninety percent of it was poured into Luo Sifan's body, and one ten percent entered Lin Qianxiu's body.
The incident happened suddenly, and the two of them were powerless to resist. In an instant, the gray and yellowish atmosphere that filled the room was completely wiped out.
The smoke cleared, and Qingyao appeared out of nowhere, holding a small golden-haired beast in her arms. She looked at Luo Sifan and Lin Qianxiu, who were both stunned, with a smile.
"Father, Mother! Don't worry, those are good things!"
After the grayish-yellow aura disappeared into their bodies, it left no trace. Luo and Lin could not detect any harm for the time being, so they had no choice but to give up and stop thinking about it.
"Qingyao, where did this puppy come from?"
Lin Qianxiu was quite interested in the suddenly appearing little beast and reached out to touch it.
Luo Sifan and Qingyao's expressions changed simultaneously.
One of them hid the small beast behind his back, while the other quickly grabbed Lin Qianxiu.
"No!"
Luo Sifan instinctively cried out.
He was all too familiar with the terrifying aura emanating from the shattered stone egg. It was from that ungrateful beast! If it wanted to bite, even Qingyao couldn't stop it!
The memory of being chased and bitten by this ferocious beast while the soul was inside the stone egg was painful and humiliating.
Fortunately, at least Qingyao understood the despicable nature of this beast, and was able to control it when Lin Qianxiu was careless.
The father and daughter reacted identically; how could Lin Qianxiu not understand? She awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Seeing that Lin Qianxiu had come to her senses, Qingyao hugged the little beast back to her chest and earnestly explained to Lin Qianxiu:
"Mom! My little brother's dog is wary of strangers and likes to bite! Please don't pay any attention to it!"
"Exactly! Stay away from it!"
Luo Sifan echoed, his face grave.
Even though the little beast had an extraordinary origin, Lin Qianxiu was too frightened to provoke it any further.
However, Qingyao and the little beast named "Little Brother" were indeed as close as siblings.
"Father, Mother! Let's go home quickly!"
Qingyao's expression suggested that she didn't want to stay here at all, and there was even a hint of fear in her eyes.
"it is good!"
"Wait!"
Lin Qianxiu readily agreed, but Luo Sifan had some reservations.
Without stopping, Luo Sifan ran close to the pool of marrow spirit liquid and scooped up a lot of it from the mirage pearl.
Luo Sifan only stopped when Lin Qianxiu coughed a few times.
Straightening his disheveled robes from kneeling by the pool, Luo Sifan walked back, smug and self-satisfied, amidst the somewhat disdainful gazes of the two women and the beast.
"Leave some for our family! You greedy bastard!"
Lin Qianxiu pinched Luo Sifan angrily and muttered something in his ear.
Luo Sifan abducted the Heavenly Spirit Embryo that the Lin family had nurtured for hundreds of years. Lin Qianxiu was having a headache about how to explain it when this guy actually continued to greedily seek the Marrow Spirit Liquid and did not know when to stop!
If it weren't for the fact that he was in front of a minor girl and had to restrain his image, Lin Qianxiu would have kicked him into the pool and given him a good drink long ago.
"Hurry up, Father, Mother!"
Qingyao urged her again, her expression growing more anxious.
Even the little brother in his arms started behaving strangely, tilting his head back to the sky and howling softly, the sound as frightening as thunder rolling in the sky.
Luo Sifan's face was a little pale.
"Go! Go!"
Luo Sifan took Lin Qianxiu's hand and let her lead the way.
"Wait!"
Lin Qianxiu stopped moving at this moment, her expression extremely solemn.
"Listen! That sound outside!"
Aside from the rumbling of the younger brother, a piercing, strange noise did indeed echo in the cave.
Moreover, it was getting closer and closer, mixed with the echoes from the cave, making it even noisier and more urgent.
"The sound of the wind?"
Luo Sifan blurted out, then immediately doubted himself: where did the wind come from in this deep, interconnected cave?
Unexpectedly, Lin Qianxiu nodded:
"Indeed, it's the sound of the wind! And within the wind, there's the aura of thunder and lightning!"
Her complexion was as bad as it could possibly be, and Lin Qianxiu added:
"Heavenly Tribulation! Sister, this is the approaching Heavenly Tribulation!"
The power of the lightning seemed to be heading straight for this cave, and Lin Qianxiu had already sensed that the core of the lightning tribulation was approaching!
At that time, this enormous cave, which is over a hundred miles long and as dense as a spider web, will likely be destroyed under the cataclysmic lightning tribulation.
The three women and one beast were trapped in a desperate situation with no way to escape!
"What? Another heavenly tribulation?!"
Luo Sifan rubbed his forehead, feeling quite helpless about the sheer amount of bad luck his family was experiencing.
"Mother! Qingyao is so scared!"
The little girl, clutching the small animal, hid in Lin Qianxiu's arms, her face pale.
Lin Qianxiu sighed softly and hugged Qingyao.
The younger brother trembled in their arms, showing none of the arrogance he had shown when chasing and biting Luo Sifan.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Your mother is here!"
Lin Qianxiu forced a smile, but her heart was filled with bitterness. She racked her brains trying to figure out how to escape this heavenly tribulation, but to no avail.
This tribulation reminded her of the legend of the three tribulations that the Heavenly Spirit Embryo undergoes upon entering the world.
The tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man are linked together. This is the instinctive rejection of the human world of the spiritual embryos of Heaven and Earth that have transformed into living beings. Only by undergoing the three tribulations and absorbing the essence of Heaven, Earth, and Man can the transformed spiritual embryos gain recognition and be classified as one of the same kind.
Heaven, Earth, and Man—the three paths of suppressing the strong and supporting the weak—this is an ironclad rule of the human world. Things born from the spirit of Heaven and Earth are too powerful.
Lin Qianxiu knew she was incapable of killing Qingyao and her younger brother, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Ahead, it seemed, was only a dead end.
Lin Qianxiu's mind raced with countless thoughts, but she ultimately gave up on thinking about it. She glanced at Luo Sifan, a warm smile playing on her lips.
After going to Wushan with Xiaozhi, he then went to his death with her. This fate was so strong that it aroused the jealousy and resentment of heaven and earth, and could not be tolerated by the world.
Lin Qianxiu's jade-like face was slightly flushed, her emotions deep and strong, giving rise to a nine-tenths sense of gladness to die. Her eyes were misty with emotion, while Luo Sifan stood blankly to the side, somewhat bewildered and helpless, which made people feel sorry for her.
With a gentle touch, she wanted to call him over with kind words, to comfort and encourage him, and to dispel his despair in the face of life and death.
Luo Sifan's mind was filled with the lightning control technique that Cheng Zhipu had taught him that day, and he practiced it endlessly in his soul, which naturally made him appear dull and absent-minded.
Clapping his hands, he got it!
Ignoring the expressions of the two women and the beast, Luo Sifan excitedly rushed into the wind-swept, lightning-filled cave, leaving behind a remark:
"You guys wait here for me!"
A green shadow flitted away, disappearing in an instant before Lin Qianxiu's incredulous eyes, like a rat scurrying about.
"Mother! Father has run away!"
Qingyao was deeply shocked and sighed as she hugged Lin Qianxiu's neck tightly.
Lin Qianxiu, who had been extending her hand tenderly, now wished she could turn it into a weapon to strangle Luo Sifan, and fiercely pulled it back.
Her jade-like hands, cool to the touch, gently stroked Qingyao's dark hair.
"It's alright, Dad ran away, but Mom is still here."
Lin Qianxiu soothed the disheartened and despondent spirit fetus in her arms, her heart pounding with emotion, and she couldn't help but let out a hoarse, broken voice.
I was shocked, angry, resentful, and ashamed.
What shocked him was the chilling coldness that pierced his soul after Qingyao's dejection; what angered him was that Luo Sifan abandoned his child and fled; what he hated was that he had met the wrong person; and what shamed him was that he had actually been moved to death by love.
The terrifying aura emanating from Lin Qianxiu was not much different from the power of the lightning tribulation in the cave at this moment.
Her gaze was like a knife, her eyes unfocused, and the tears of emotion she once held had long been dried by Lin Qianxiu's surging murderous aura.
