Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

"Boom!"

A thin bolt of purple lightning, like a serpent emerging from its hole, tore through the thick dark clouds, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and struck straight at the Kunlun Cauldron in the cave. This was the first lightning strike of the Nine-Nine Pill Tribulation, a probing lightning strike.

Lu Lingxi was prepared. Her eyes narrowed, and her spiritual power surged wildly within her body. Instantly, a light blue spiritual power barrier condensed above the Kunlun Cauldron.

"boom!"

The purple lightning struck the spiritual energy barrier with a muffled thud. The barrier trembled slightly, completely blocking the lightning's power.

"That's all."

Lu Lingxi's lips curled up slightly. The power of this first burst of pill lightning was weaker than she had expected. It seemed that the quality of this Immortal-grade Demon Purification Pill was even higher than she had imagined.

However, Lu Lingxi did not let her guard down. She knew that this was only the beginning, and the real test was yet to come. Sure enough, as soon as the first bolt of pill lightning dissipated, the second bolt followed closely behind.

"Boom!"

This time, the lightning bolt turned a deep purple, doubled in thickness, and was several times more powerful than the first bolt of lightning.

"boom!"

The deep purple lightning struck the spiritual energy barrier fiercely, causing it to tremble violently and make cracking sounds, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Lu Lingxi's expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected the power of the second lightning bolt to increase so quickly. She dared not be negligent and immediately increased her spiritual power output to stabilize her spiritual power barrier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One bolt of lightning after another struck down, its color changing from deep purple to cyan, then from cyan to blue, and finally, it turned into a dazzling golden yellow!

Each bolt of pill lightning was several times more powerful than the previous one. Under the bombardment of the golden pill lightning, Lu Lingxi Yao's spiritual energy barrier finally could not withstand it and shattered with a crash.

"Pfft!" Lu Lingxi spat out a mouthful of blood, her face as pale as paper, her body swaying precariously, as if she would collapse at any moment.

"Master!" Suzaku and Huan Yue's voices rang out simultaneously, filled with endless worry.

"I'm fine!"

Lu Lingxi gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay upright. Now was not the time to give up. She had to persevere for the sake of Phantom.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes becoming even more determined. She no longer passively defended herself, but instead took the initiative to attack.

"Ignite the alchemical fire!"

With a clear shout, Lu Lingxi Yao formed a hand seal, and a crimson flame surged from her body, instantly enveloping the Kunlun Cauldron.

This flame is Lu Lingxi Yao's natal fire, fused with the fire elemental spiritual power within her body, making it incredibly powerful.

"Go!" Lu Lingxi Yao formed a hand seal again, and the pill fire transformed into a fire dragon, roaring as it rushed towards the tribulation clouds in the sky.

"boom!"

The fire dragon and the golden thunderbolt collided violently, producing a deafening roar. The violent energy waves swept in all directions, shaking the cave to the point of collapse.

"Crack!" A crack appeared in the top of the cave, and loose rocks kept falling down.

"Master, be careful!" Zhuque exclaimed and quickly used flames to burn away the falling rocks.

Lu Lingxi Yao completely disregarded the dangers around her, focusing all her attention on the battle between the alchemical fire and the tribulation lightning. She used the alchemical fire as a guide and her alchemy heart as a sword to fight against the heavenly tribulation.

"Alchemy is not just about making pills, but also about cultivating the mind, the will, and the Dao!" Lu Lingxi Yao silently recited in her heart. Her eyes grew brighter and brighter, her aura grew stronger and stronger, and the alchemical fire grew more and more intense.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One after another, golden lightning bolts were shattered by the fire and dissipated into the air, but more lightning bolts surged in like a tide, seemingly endless.

Lu Lingxi's body began to tremble, her face grew paler and paler, and blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained firm and unwavering. She forcefully activated the spiritual power within her body, raising the power of the pill fire to its limit.

"boom!"

Another golden lightning bolt was shattered, but Lu Lingxi's body finally reached its limit.

"puff!"

Lu Lingxi spat out another mouthful of blood. Her body could no longer support her, and she slowly fell backward.

"Owner!"

Zhuque and Huanyue exclaimed in surprise and tried to rush forward to help, but they were blocked by a powerful force and could not get close.

"I...cannot...fall down..."

Lu Lingxi's consciousness began to blur, and darkness enveloped her, but she still silently told herself that she could not fall down, that she still had phantoms to save, and that she still had an unfinished mission.

Just as Lu Lingxi was about to collapse, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared beside her and steadily supported her.

"Master!" Zhuque's voice rang in Lu Lingxi Yao's ears, trembling slightly.

Lu Lingxi slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhuque's anxious face. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. "I... I'm fine..." Lu Lingxi said weakly, her voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

“Master, you rest for a bit, leave the rest to me!” Zhuque said, her eyes filled with determination.

Lu Lingxi shook her head and said, "No, I can't rest. I must personally refine the Immortal-grade Demon-Purifying Pill to save Huanying."

“But your health…” Suzaku said worriedly.

"I'm fine, trust me!" Lu Lingxi said, her eyes full of confidence.

Seeing the determination in Lu Lingxi's eyes, Zhuque knew she couldn't dissuade her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Master, I believe you! But you must be careful!"

"Hmm!" Lu Lingxi nodded, then struggled to stand up and turned her gaze back to the tribulation clouds in the sky.

At this moment, there were very few golden lightning bolts left in the tribulation clouds, but each one contained the power to destroy the world.

"Come on! Let me see just how powerful this Nine-Nine Pill Tribulation really is!" Lu Lingxi Yao felt a surge of pride and was no longer afraid, but instead faced the challenge head-on.

"Wow!"

Just then, a clear phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the Vermilion Bird transformed into a giant fire phoenix, soaring into the sky.

The fire phoenix was a hundred feet tall, its entire body burning with the flames of rebirth. Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky and the sun, just like a blazing sun illuminating the entire mountain range.

"Master, I'm here to help you!" Zhuque said, then rushed into the tribulation clouds.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Loud explosions rang out continuously as the Vermilion Bird's Nirvana Fire clashed with the golden pill lightning. Each collision unleashed powerful energy fluctuations, distorting and deforming the surrounding space.

Feathers on the Vermilion Bird's body were constantly being struck off by the golden lightning, but more feathers were growing back under the burning of the Nirvana Fire.

With its divine beast form, the Vermilion Bird withstood the heavenly lightning, buying precious time for Lu Lingxi Yao.

"Huan Yue, come and help too!" Lu Lingxi Yao said to Huan Yue.

"Yes, Master!"

Huan Yue responded without hesitation, burning his essence blood. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, instantly creating a cyan wind wall and a crimson fire wall around the cave.

"Wind and Fire Dual-Element Defense Formation, activate!"

With a loud shout, Huan Yue caused the wind wall and fire wall to merge together, forming a solid defensive barrier that firmly protected the entire cave.

"Master, I will use myself as the core of this dual-elemental wind and fire defensive formation to buy you time!" Huan Yue's voice came from within the formation, tinged with weakness.

Lu Lingxi was deeply moved. She knew that Huan Yue had burned his life essence to forcibly form this wind and fire dual-element defensive formation, which had put a great burden on his body. However, he did it without hesitation, just to protect her while she was refining pills.

"Zhuque, Huanyue, thank you!" Lu Lingxi said silently in her heart, her eyes becoming even more determined. She could not let them down.

Lu Lingxi once again devoted all her attention to alchemy. She activated the alchemical fire to continuously purify and condense the medicinal liquid in the Kunlun Cauldron.

"Om..."

The Kunlun Cauldron trembled violently, its light grew brighter and brighter, and the fragrance of the medicine became increasingly rich.

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

Faintly, the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling could be heard emanating from within the Kunlun Cauldron, as if two divine beasts were fighting and roaring inside.

"The celestial-grade pill is about to be completed!" Lu Lingxi was overjoyed, for this was a sign that the pill was about to be finished.
