Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Chapter 319 Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation

"Holy Son, shall we leave?" someone asked cautiously.

"Only the elite are allowed in, what a boastful tone. Go and help her spread the word throughout the five major states." Pang Tianchen crumpled the gold invitation in his hand into a ball, gave the order, and then led everyone away.

"Why hasn't Master brought Junior Sister back yet? Could something have happened to her?" Ying Zheng frowned as he walked through the sect.

"With Master here, it's only others who will have accidents. Let's hurry up and send out the invitations for Xi'er. It's her first time hosting a tea party, so she can't make a mistake." Gu Baiyi smiled nonchalantly.

The four states are far apart, and the tea party is scheduled at least two or three months in advance each year. Ye Wuxi simply doesn't have time to organize this, so they have to do it for her.

However, Pang Tianchen is right about one thing: there's no need for this ridiculous Heavenly Martial Tea Party. The disciples of their tavern are the ones hosting it; they only fight against those at higher realms, not those at lower realms. They don't have time to gather a bunch of Heavenly Martial cultivators to take up space.

Reaching the Martial King realm doesn't mean that those under 25 are considered juniors; it simply means that the difference in the level of profound understanding that people in this age range can comprehend won't be too drastic.

Another month later.

The last trace of Bodhi essence in Ye Wuxi's body had dissipated, and her dantian had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The original five-colored dantian had turned into a hazy gray, and the five solid dantians had completely merged into one, with the five elements completely integrated, becoming the Five Elements Dantian.

The Yuan Power she possessed afterward was the true Five Elements Yuan Power, comparable to the special divine abilities of other divine bodies. At this moment, a slight change also occurred on the Five-Colored Core, with a black and a white vortex sinking into the surrounding area.

Boom boom!

Thunder roared, and the dark clouds in the sky above completely transformed into multicolored thunderclouds. Ye Wuxi had no time to ponder the changes in his dantian and quickly soared into the void.

She could sense that the Five Elements Pill was still missing the final step of energy; only by overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation could it undergo a complete transformation.

Click!

Five bolts of lightning, each a different color and carrying the aura of divine punishment, struck down simultaneously, instantly sending Ye Wuxi flying and spitting out blood.

The heavenly tribulations she observed, including Pang Tianchen's, were all in waves of three, but for some reason hers had become five at once, giving her no chance to catch her breath.

As Ye Wuxi quickly swallowed a few pills and soared into the void, the second wave of lightning crashed down.

From afar, Ye Lao Er, who could glimpse a trace of it, widened his eyes, "One hundred and ten paths, the Five Elements Great Tribulation."

The last time they saw Pang Tianchen, he only had ninety-one lightning bolts. Apart from the last ten bolts which were special annihilation lightning bolts, the single-color purple lightning bolts at the beginning, although powerful, were still considered normal.

Ye Wuxi started with five colors right away; how can they play like this later?

"It all depends on her own methods." The Sword Emperor sighed softly. All he could do was ensure that no one would discover her methods.

Fortunately, being the closest, the only ones who might have detected the anomaly, the Nine Spirits Holy Mother and the Heavenly Demon Emperor, were quite sensible.

boom!

As the tenth wave of lightning descended, Ye Wuxi's clothes were tattered and his body was covered in blood. His powerful recovery speed could not keep up with the speed at which the five-colored lightning struck.

Five-colored lightning struck down again, Ye Wuxi's blood surged, and the phantoms of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird appeared, but were instantly blown away.

hum!

After swallowing a few more pills, Ye Wuxi's life force circulated throughout his body, and combined with his powerful physique, he quickly recovered from his injuries.

"We're only halfway through. Hopefully, her powerful physique and unique will to live will sustain her until the second half," Ye Lao Er said, his brows furrowed with some tension.

The further they went, the thicker the five-colored lightning became, determined to obliterate Ye Wuxi.

The fifteenth wave of five-colored lightning had transformed into a blurry dragon shape, and the already teetering Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird phantoms behind Ye Wuxi were completely blasted apart.

The terrifying power of divine punishment washed over her body, making it difficult for her bloodline power to gather. Ye Wuxi spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and her aura became extremely weak.

At this moment, a new wave of even more powerful five-colored thunder dragons was gathering. Ye Wuxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a black tablet appeared in his hand. He quickly poured his power into it, stimulating the patterns on it.

The five-colored thunder dragon crashed down, and the black tablet in Ye Wuxi's hand suddenly grew larger, radiating terrifying light, and rushed into the air.

boom!

The black stele developed fine cracks, and the patterns on it dimmed considerably. Although it withstood most of the power, Ye Wuxi was still thrown away.

"Hold on a little longer," Ye Wuxi murmured, gripping the black tablet tightly.

Soon, the five-colored thunder dragons gathered once more, this time their form was even more solid and robust.

Click!

Ye Wuxi unleashed the black stele once more, only to have it shatter instantly. This black stele, comparable to an imperial artifact and containing Dao traces, shattered after only two strikes. How could a Martial King possibly withstand this tribulation, especially since she wasn't even a true Martial King? This was an attempt to kill her.

"Five more waves to go, hang in there."

Ye Lao Er was sweating bullets for him. The lightning tribulation was merely the manifestation of heavenly punishment in the form of lightning, not real lightning, and its power was far beyond what lightning could ever do.

That's why she scoffed at Ye Wuxi's previous claim that mastering the profound meaning of lightning was useful for transcending tribulations.

However, Ye Wuxi's tribulation is no longer limited to ordinary lightning forms, but has transformed into a substantial lightning dragon, which is a devastating blow to those who have not yet fully become kings.

Boom boom!

The sky was shrouded in terrifying light, and five more tangible thunder dragons converged and hovered.

The Cauldron of Creation appeared in Ye Wuxi's blood-stained hand. With a thought, the cauldron spun wildly above her head and grew larger, the ancient creation diagram and the golden crow pattern radiating terrifying power.

boom!

The five-colored thunder dragon rushed down and collided with the giant cauldron, causing the cauldron to tremble violently and sending Ye Wuxi flying.

Although the medicine cauldron is powerful, its strength depends on the skill of its master. Ye Wuxi is not yet able to unleash the power of the medicine cauldron. With the thunder dragon's strike, her connection with the medicine cauldron has weakened considerably.

After swallowing the recovery pills all at once, Ye Wuxi's life force surged, and he once again rose to his feet, with the giant furnace above his head, to face a new batch of thunder dragons.

"Almost there." Fine beads of sweat appeared on the Sword Emperor's forehead as he silently counted the number of lightning tribulations.

After the lightning dragon struck again, Ye Wuxi was covered in blood and gore.

At this moment, five terrifying forces were converging in the sky. Ye Wuxi sensed an aura similar to her own physique. This was the energy of the five elements, but it was mixed with terrifying heavenly punishment energy, which was hundreds of times stronger than the five elements she controlled.

Ye Wuxi's eyes darkened, and he quickly put on a new layer of clothes, put away the medicine cauldron that was only connected by a sliver of light, and a look of madness appeared on his face.

Suddenly, she swallowed the entire Demon Blood Fruit. Terrifying blood energy surged through her body, and her bloodline burned wildly.

Her injuries were rapidly healing, and she formed hand seals, just like those above the sky, as if preparing something.

"This is the last wave, why did she take the medicine cauldron back? What is she going to do?" Ye Lao Er was shocked by her actions.

"Oh no, does Ninth Brother still intend to fight against Thunder Dragon on his own?" Sword Emperor's expression also changed.
