The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Hongdou was unaware that she was so distrusted.

If she knew, she would probably have confidently replied, "Miss is right."

This was her first time facing the tribulation lightning, and she was apprehensive. This was also the reason why she had been suppressing her ability to break through long ago.

She looked up at the sky, and a deafening roar of thunder exploded in her ears. The lightning seemed to tear the entire sky apart, and it was so close to her that the last bit of resistance that Hongdou had managed to muster when she saw Luo Qingcheng was shattered by the lightning.

"Waaah, Miss, I'm so scared."

She couldn't help but cry out, turning her eyes to try and find Luo Qingcheng's figure.

However, there was nothing around her, and she had just run a long way to avoid being affected by the lightning tribulation.

She realized she couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to follow what Mo Nianqing had taught her: suppress her fear, sit cross-legged, close her eyes, and regulate her breathing.

Her body emitted a faint white light, echoing the lightning in the sky.

At this moment, the long-awaited heavenly tribulation finally descended!

The first tribulation was the weakest, but it was still much stronger than a typical Golden Core tribulation. Like a giant thunder dragon, it lunged at Hongdou with bared fangs and claws. She used all her spiritual energy to form a protective shield around her. The fire dragon collided with the shield, creating a deafening roar.

A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of Hongdou's mouth.

"This is not a Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation at all!"

Mo Nianqing, watching from afar, was both anxious and angry.

Luo Qingcheng couldn't suppress his worry and was eager to rush over to find Hongdou.

But she was stopped by Mo Wangqing, who seemed to know her very well.

"She still had a glimmer of hope, but if you go there, that glimmer of hope will be completely lost."

Luo Qingcheng was naturally aware of the issue of double lightning tribulation, but judging from Mo Wangqing's tone, it seemed to be more than that.

But now is not the time to dwell on these things.

In the short span of a few words, the second and third heavenly tribulations arrived one after another, their power growing stronger with each strike. Each tribulation felt like a mountain pressing down on Hongdou, causing her figure to sway precariously amidst the flashing lightning.

The lightning tribulation grew stronger and stronger.

It has far exceeded the intensity that a Golden Core Tribulation should have.

At this moment, the defensive magic artifact left behind by the acting sect leader of the Seeking Immortals Sect finally showed its usefulness.

As the lightning struck, the magical artifacts spontaneously rose into the sky, dissipating most of the power of the tribulation before landing on Hongdou, allowing her to catch her breath amidst the relentless thunder.

However, this breath didn't last long.

The magical artifacts were completely worn away, but the final bolt of tribulation lightning lingered for a long time.

It's obvious from the look that Tian Lei is holding back something big.

The rumbling of thunder echoed muffledly through the clouds.

Red Bean used her last bit of strength to create a final protective shield around herself before collapsing to the ground, exhausted.

"Miss……"

She may not be able to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days.

Luo Qingcheng seemed to hear Hongdou's weak voice. She looked at the sky, where the originally white tribulation lightning seemed to have taken on a purple tinge.

A strong premonition rose in Luo Qingcheng's heart.

Red Bean will die under this final bolt of lightning!

Her sudden movement startled Mo Nianqing, who was equally anxious beside her. She then realized that Luo Qingcheng was heading towards the center of the Heavenly Tribulation and quickly stopped her.

"The formation I set up hasn't been activated yet. The final lightning bolt can be reduced by 30% of its power, but if you go over there, you'll really die here!"

Luo Qingcheng pulled down Mo Nianqing's hand.

He asked, word by word, "Elder Nianqing, do you dare say that Hongdou can definitely withstand this final purple lightning bolt, which has been reduced by thirty percent of its power?"

Mo Nianqing dared not make any guarantees.

"So what can you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, do besides doubling the power of heavenly lightning?"

Mo Nianqing could see that Hongdou was already at her limit, but what could she do?

The tribulation lightning is adjusted according to the cultivator's cultivation level. If she enters the tribulation lightning range, the power of the heavenly lightning will become a Nascent Soul Tribulation!

Luo Qingcheng smiled, "I can do much more than you can imagine, Elder."

Mo Nianqing was taken aback.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Qingcheng quickly ran towards the center of the lightning tribulation.

"Brother, she's your apprentice, aren't you going to stop her?"

Mo Nianqing looked at Mo Wangqing, who was watching from the sidelines.

"If you couldn't stop it, how could I?"

He tried to stop them, but it was no use.

So annoying!

Mo Nianqing pouted and silently moved away from this universally disliked brother.

Just as Hongdou was about to fight the Heavenly Tribulation to the death, Luo Qingcheng finally ran to Hongdou's side.

Heavenly Tribulation sensed the intrusion of another person and was enraged.

The thunder paused for a moment.

Then an even louder "boom" resounded across the entire sky!

It seemed to be issuing a warning, or perhaps proclaiming that the majesty of Heaven was inviolable!

Red Bean was startled by the sound and trembled.

My previously hazy consciousness returned for a moment, and I heard a familiar voice in my ear.

"Red beans! Red beans!"

Is that... Miss's voice...?

Red Bean, her entire body charred black from being chopped, moved her carbonized lips, her parched throat making it difficult for her to speak, "Miss...?"

Luo Qingcheng quickly said, "It's me! Hongdou, don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"

Tears welled up in Hongdou's eyes.

She didn't know if it was a hallucination or real.

Luo Qingcheng placed her hand on Hongdou's thin protective shield. If she hadn't come, this shield, which couldn't block anything, certainly wouldn't have been able to save Hongdou's life.

The green spiritual energy easily created a hole in the white protective shield that was radiating cold air.

Luo Qingcheng walked up to Hongdou, who was lying on her back and felt a figure blocking the light.

She barely opened her eyes and saw Luo Qingcheng smiling gently at her.

Red Bean is surprised.

Whenever her daughter laughs like that, nothing good ever happens.

"Miss, please stop laughing, I'm... scared."

She felt that her young mistress's laughter was far more terrifying than a thunderbolt.

Luo Qingcheng's smile froze on his face.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll deal with you later!"

She leaped up.

One day, one person, seemingly in a standoff!

The ignored heavenly lightning finally couldn't hold back any longer, unleashing a double-powered purple lightning that even an ordinary Nascent Soul Venerable couldn't withstand!

Moreover, Luo Qingcheng is only at the Foundation Establishment stage!

Mo Nianqing was already preparing to mourn her deceased disciple.

She couldn't bear to look any longer, her heart filled with sorrow.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Hongdou, he was her first apprentice.

But she didn't leave. Those who perished under the lightning tribulation might not even leave a trace in the end. She planned to collect some soil with Hongdou's remains on site and bury it to erect a monument for Hongdou.

She even dared to get close to Mo Wangqing, saying, "Brother, let's bury your disciple and my disciple together later."

Mo Wangqing walked away a bit.

They're not in cahoots.

Mo Nianqing: "...Brother, no wonder everyone hates you."

Never Forget Love: ...

He wasn't disliked.

Two bolts of purple lightning intertwined and merged amidst a deafening roar, eventually converging into a massive, robust dragon that swam through the air, its body crackling with electric arcs that illuminated the entire space.

Then, a torrent of purple water poured down on the humans who dared to challenge it in mid-air, as if a hole had been torn in the sky and a column of purple water was pouring out from it!

Amidst a purple light, Luo Qingcheng took the initiative to draw in the tribulation lightning, protecting the red bean beneath him completely.
