Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 978: Chapter 38: The Mandate of Heaven, Forcing a Breakthrough

Gua Niu let out an angry roar, and his remaining arm struck towards Ye Lingyue.

The arm, suffused with demonic power, was like a sharp blade, about to pierce Ye Lingyue’s head.

At that moment, a beam of rapid light shot from Ye Lingyue’s hand.

Gua Niu was startled; though it was his first encounter with Ye Lingyue,

her cunning had already caused him harm. He thought it was some formidable hidden weapon, and his damaged arm blocked in front of him.

With a ”whoosh” sound.

A little cauldron, the size of a fly’s head, spun around in the air.

Gua Niu was shocked, thinking, what new type of hidden weapon is this?

The belly of the little cauldron inhaled and exhaled, spitting out two streams of Cauldron Breath, one black, one white, that moved as quickly as lightning, like two Spirit Snakes coiling upwards.

Tightly ensnaring Gua Niu’s body.

With the two streams of Cauldron Breath coiling around him, Gua Niu’s rage-filled roars echoed ceaselessly.

”Nagging noise, so annoying, watch as Master Ding refines you.”

In front of Ye Lingyue, the Cauldron Spirit acted like a small, docile servant, as timid as can be.

Yet that was only in front of its own master; faced with a Demon like Gua Niu, the Cauldron Spirit boasted with arrogance, shooting a gray beam from the Little Cauldron.

Under the beam’s cover, Gua Niu’s struggles grew weaker, until he finally turned into a ball of light, swallowed into the Qian Cauldron.

At the moment Gua Niu was devoured, the scarlet glow in Die Mei’s and many other Earth Evil Lords’ eyes vanished instantly, breaking free from their earlier controlled state.

Die Mei awoke as if from a dream, seeing the Hunyuan Ancestor she had been fighting against, realizing she had been enchanted by Gua Niu.

”Everyone, now that Gua Niu is slain by my hand, henceforth the Seventy-two Layers of the Earth Evil Prison belong to me, Ye Lingyue.”

While chaos and confusion reigned in the Earth Evil Prison, unsure of what had transpired, a commanding voice resounded from the heavens.

The Earth Evil Soldiers and Kings listened, falling into initial silence, then glancing skywards, seeing no sign of Gua Niu.

In the sky above stood a petite woman, face fair, hair dark, holding a treasure sword in her left hand, a black small cauldron in her right, exuding unmatched majesty.

”The Earth Evil Great Lord is dead!”

”Dead, truly dead?”

The surviving Earth Evil Soldiers and Kings, upon realizing Gua Niu was truly dead, wore complex expressions.

On the one hand, Gua Niu was notoriously brutal, causing countless deaths among his followers each year. With Gua Niu’s death, their days of terror were over.

Yet on the other, the slayer of Gua Niu was merely an ordinary Human.

Could this mere Human truly lead them, guarding the Earth Evil Prison?

As mixed feelings swept through the Earth Evil Prison,

Ye Lingyue suddenly heard a rumbling from the sky above.

The sound was like thousands of troops marching towards the Earth Evil Prison.

In the dark sky, clouds roiled, and a great Evil Qi cloud vortex formed, taking shape as a sky-rending, earth-splitting tornado.

With a thunderous boom, the tornado exploded, draining all color from the sky.

As the tornado formed, the sky underwent further changes.

A howling north wind brought a deluge of hail, in the cloud sea, fire power roiled like magma, and a mountain like Tai Shan hurtled towards Ye Lingyue.

”Third Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation!”

Die Mei and the other Earth Evil Kings all turned pale.

They were former subordinates of the Earth Evil Great Lord, recognizing the fearsome Evil Qi cloud vortex as nothing but the final test, formed spontaneously by the Earth Evil Prison, after Ye Lingyue conquered the Seventy-two Layers of the Earth Evil Prison and defeated the Earth Evil Great Lord.

Only by breaking through the Third Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation could one be acknowledged as the true master of the Earth Evil Prison.

Unlike ordinary Martial Artists undergoing Reincarnation Tribulation, needing to pass a Five Spirits Tribulation (one of gold, wood, water, fire, earth) with each breakthrough, the Third Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation imposed three trials at once, adding Water Ice Hail, Fire Magma, and Earth Mountain.

Seeing this scene, Ye Lingyue almost cursed.

What kind of Heaven and Earth Tribulation is this? Thinking conquering the Earth Evil Prison was enough, only to face a reinforced version of the Reincarnation Tribulation with three added trials.

Never mind the three divine tribulations, even the terrifying tornado alone would tear her small frame to pieces.

But Ye Lingyue could not avoid it; the Third Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation was akin to the Earth Evil Prison’s final assessment for her. Failing would render all past efforts in vain.

Those Earth Evil Kings could never truly submit to her heart and soul.

Going all out, risking it all!

Resolved, Ye Lingyue wielded the Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant, generating a wreath of sword flowers, activating the Nine Revolutions Phoenix Body; instantly, her Primordial Power erupted like a volcano.

Her entire being transformed into a rainbow light, neither retreating nor avoiding, charging straight at the black Earth Evil Cloud Vortex.

”Break for me!”

Ye Lingyue’s eyes, black and night-like, her hair danced in the air like steel wires,

as she thrust her sword.

”Insane! That human actually intends to confront the Third Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation head-on!”

It was like an ant shaking a tree, a suicidal act.

Under countless Earth Evil Soldiers’ and Emperor’s Slaughter Evil Kings’ shocked gazes, Ye Lingyue collided with the Primordial Vortex.

Boom—

The dreadful collision sound shook souls, as the figure and the cloud vortex violently crashed together.

Ye Lingyue’s tiger mouth suddenly throbbed with pain, her hand gripping the Nine Dragon Chant split open in several places.

The veins on her temple throbbed fiercely.

The cloud vortex, pierced by Ye Lingyue’s sword, had only slightly scattered its Evil Qi, then returned with a vengeance, engulfing Ye Lingyue like a fallen leaf.

”Hah!”

On the ground, a murmur of disappointment arose, as all Earth Evil Soldiers and even Die Mei felt fear, believing Ye Lingyue doomed this time.

Once Ye Lingyue was swept into the vortex, the forces of earth, water, and fire within the cloud vortex struck relentlessly towards her.

”Cauldron Spirit!”

Ye Lingyue’s eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, the Qian Cauldron transformed into a Grounded Cauldron, suddenly absorbing Ye Lingyue, merging as one with her.

Bang, bang, bang, hail, mountains, magma, one after another came,

despite the Qian Cauldron protecting her, each hail strike, magma contact, and mountain crush felt excruciatingly painful, as if inflicted on Ye Lingyue herself.

But Ye Lingyue simultaneously noticed, with each assault, a trace of rich Power of Heaven and Earth filled her meridians, limbs, and bones.

Realizing this, Ye Lingyue gritted her teeth and endured each assault directly.
