Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 704: This Heavenly Dao Has a Serious Problem

Chapter 704: This Heavenly Dao Has a Serious Problem

A crystal-clear jade bracelet expanded in the wind, transforming into a massive light shield—Boom! It shattered violently under the third tribulation lightning!

An ancient bronze shield engraved with mysterious runes soared into the sky—Crack! The fourth tribulation lightning pierced through it, draining all its spiritual light!

A seven-colored feather fan radiating brilliant light unfolded—Rip! The fifth tribulation lightning burned it into scattered ashes!

...

One by one, supreme-grade spiritual treasures and defensive treasures that would make even Great Ascension cultivators covet with pounding hearts shattered, broke, and vanished like fragile glass before this world-destroying tribulation lightning. Each destruction of a spiritual treasure was accompanied by a violent shudder through Tu Shan Yue's body and more blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

When the residual power of the ninth tribulation lightning dissipated, the space before Tu Shan Yue was completely empty, without a single usable treasure remaining.

She barely recovered her injuries relying on powerful elixirs, but her energy had already become chaotic, her face pale as paper, her nine fox tails drooping powerlessly to the ground, all their glorious light extinguished.

Only those eyes gazing at the tribulation clouds still burned with the last unextinguishable flame, carrying a heart-palpitating obsession and determination.

"Hiss... all... all destroyed..." Countless cultivators below watched dumbfounded, their hearts aching so much they gasped cold air.

Those were all supreme-grade spiritual treasures!

Some of them might not even get to touch one such treasure in their entire lifetime.

And they just turned to ashes under the heavenly tribulation?

This ascension tribulation was simply too terrifying!

At the same time, they felt deep shock at Tu Shan Yue's "extreme wealth" and... a twisted sense of pity.

Even though those spiritual treasures didn't belong to them, it didn't stop them from feeling heartache.

"Heh." Burning Heaven the monk let out an extremely faint scoff, "Demon scourge, your external aids are exhausted, at your wit's end! Let's see how you withstand this tenth heavenly punishment!"

As if confirming his words.

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

The center of the tribulation clouds suddenly collapsed inward, forming an enormous, slowly rotating purple-black vortex.

Deep within the vortex, an unprecedented destructive aura madly condensed, more terrifying than the previous nine combined.

The entire sky seemed to be sucked into this vortex, light completely distorted and vanished, with only that soul-freezing purple-black glow at the vortex's core gestating.

Taizhou Mountain groaned in agony, the earth cracked apart.

Countless cultivators turned pale, feeling their primordial souls about to be pulled out by this not-yet-formed tribulation lightning.

"Retreat! Quick, retreat!"

"Heaven's might is unpredictable, this level of heavenly tribulation's power is no longer something we can observe!"

Bold cultivators like Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu remained rooted in place.

The timid ones had already fled without a trace.

Chen Huaian grew even more puzzled in his heart.

This heavenly tribulation... was determined to strike Tu Shan Yue to death.

Then what about Old Demon Xiao?

He scanned his surroundings but didn't see Old Demon Xiao's figure.

Though in hidden corners there were still several Great Ascension auras, likely other powerhouses from the Void Abyss.

It seemed Old Demon Xiao should still be in seclusion, unaware of Tu Shan Yue's ascension.

Boom—!

The tenth tribulation lightning arrived silently.

It was truly world-ending might!

Tu Shan Yue gazed at the purple-black vortex that seemed capable of devouring everything, the last flame in her eyes dimming, leaving only boundless exhaustion and... resigned calm.

She abandoned all defensive postures, merely straightening her blood-stained spine slightly, lifting her head, preparing to receive the final annihilation.

She had committed countless killings, slaughtered human cities, destroyed sects.

From the demon race's perspective, she was expanding territory, opening up heaven and earth for the demon race.

But the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao ultimately prioritized humans, without absolute fairness.

The demon race could only continue advancing in cultivation after taking human form.

Despite these grievances difficult to voice, for the Cangyun Realm, she indeed bore heavy sins.

Even more laughable... the one she fell in love with was also a human sword cultivator.

Perhaps, this was fate.

White Sword brother... ultimately... still missed the chance to meet again...

It's coming!

The pinpoint purple-black glow at the vortex's core suddenly expanded, a purple-black light pillar indescribable in form, as if condensing the entire Heavenly Dao's destructive will, silent yet faster than time's end, instantly piercing through heaven and earth! Striking straight down!

Tu Shan Yue closed her eyes, awaiting the moment her soul would scatter.

However—

The expected agony of being crushed to dust, body and soul destroyed, never came.

That terrifying light pillar enough to make even True Immortals change color, the moment it touched her body...

Actually felt like... a gentle spring breeze brushing past?

An indescribable, warm current carrying a strange tingling sensation instantly enveloped her entire body.

Wherever the warm current passed, the meridians previously severely damaged by tribulation lightning, nearly collapsed, greedily absorbed the vitality within like parched land receiving sweet rain, healing at an incredible speed.

Her depleted demonic power surged like oceans being injected, rushing turbulently.

Even her nine dim fox tails, under this warm current's saturation, regained their radiance, shining more brilliantly than before, with even more inwardly contained divine light.

Tu Shan Yue's eyes snapped open, her exquisitely beautiful face filled with extreme astonishment and bewilderment.

This... this feeling?!

Is this really... the tenth heavenly tribulation?!

Though the tribulation still had some power, compared to the previous nine, it was like scratching an itch.

She merely used her demonic energy to completely block the tribulation's original destructive force, leaving only the benefits brought by heaven and earth's essence.

Tu Shan Yue didn't know what was happening.

But she wasn't foolish, immediately sitting cross-legged in meditation to absorb this heaven and earth essence.

...

"Hmph hmph hmph! Lucky fox!" On the Cangyun Realm's sand table, Real Person Jade Compassion played with the Heavenly Dao's Eye.

Originally she didn't want to let the fox taste sweetness so quickly, but seeing the fox's half-dead appearance, she decided to give the fox some hope.

After all, only with hope could Tu Shan Yue persist.

Only then could she continue receiving the heavenly lightning's tempering.

...

After absorbing the heaven and earth essence.

Not only were Tu Shan Yue's injuries recovered, even her aura became more powerful than before.

Anyone with clear eyes could see that Tu Shan Yue's condition had improved!

"This... how is this possible?!"

"She... she withstood it? And... and recovered?!"

"This Nine-Tails Heavenly Fox actually absorbed the heavenly tribulation, using tribulation power to enhance herself?!"

The deathly silent crowd below exploded like ice struck by a giant rock, instantly boiling over.

Countless eyes widened to their limits, jaws nearly hitting the ground.

Horror, bewilderment, absurdity, disbelief... various emotions intertwined on every face.

This completely overturned their understanding of heavenly tribulations!

Weren't heavenly tribulations supposed to be destruction?

How could they be utilized like this?

Burning Heaven the monk's withered face twitched violently, as if struck by an invisible whip.

Deep within those ancient well-like eyes, tidal waves of shock surged for the first time, along with a trace of difficult-to-suppress... jealousy.

He stared fixedly at the peak where Tu Shan Yue bathed in strange warm light, her aura rising instead of falling, his fingers gripping prayer beads turning white from force.

But he was ultimately a ten-thousand-year-old monk, with depths as profound as an abyss, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions, his voice carrying a barely detectable dryness as he coldly snorted, "Merely death throes! The Heavenly Dao is supremely just, how could it truly allow evil to slip through? This is nothing but... a final flash of lucidity! There are still seventy-one more tribulation lightnings to come, let's see how long she can last!"

White Sword brother... ultimately... still has no fate to meet again... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Only Chen Huaian clicked his tongue 'tsk' once, his brows furrowing tighter.

The Electronic Girlfriend game and the Heavenly Dao were in cahoots.

As the possessor of the Electronic Girlfriend game, his sensitivity to the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao was naturally sharper.

He keenly detected that when the tenth tribulation lightning fell, within that seemingly world-destroying purple-black light pillar, the core contained an extremely minute strand of gentle Dao Rhythms.

That was absolutely not destructive power.

Combined with Tu Shan Yue's current state...

An utterly absurd yet seemingly only reasonable thought wildly grew in his heart.

This tenth tribulation lightning had problems!

It was... helping Tu Shan Yue!

The Heavenly Dao... seemed to be giving Tu Shan Yue special treatment?

Uncertain, need to observe more!
