I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 349: Chapter 312: Core Formation (3)

The sky darkened, and a raging storm howled, with torrential rain shooting down like sharp swords.

After four thunderbolts came another five; before the five dissipated, a sixth struck down again!

The explosive thunderclaps made Lii Jiuchuan’s scalp tingle. Watching the mighty lightning constantly crash into the solitary island at sea, he saw the island already shattered beyond recognition, never to exist again.

Such divine might left even Lii Jiuchuan feeling suffocated and fearful.

His whole body was tense, brows furrowed. The tribulation thunder kept striking, indicating that Jiang Yuebai was still alive, but with each strike more ferocious than the last, how long could she possibly endure?

Crack!

Yet again, seven lightning bolts struck simultaneously, their silver light piercing Lii Jiuchuan’s eyes, forcing him to squint and retreat. His Protective Gang Qi quaked violently; before he could open his eyes, an enraged roar of thunder heralded the fierce descent of eight wild bolts.

The roaring tide of thunder was alarming.

Lii Jiuchuan had lived almost five hundred years yet had never witnessed such a Heavenly Tribulation.

”Already thirty-nine tribulation bolts, are we going to...”

Before he finished, another nine bolts fell, bringing the total to forty-eight!

Rumble, rumble!

Lii Jiuchuan looked up as dark clouds pressed overhead as if the sky itself was collapsing, clashing with the roaring waves, where sullen thunder rolled, occasionally flashing glimpses of light.

Yet that light was no longer silver but an awe-inspiring, terrifying purple.

Lii Jiuchuan involuntarily stepped back, his eyes wide with terror.

Hundreds of miles away, Zhao Fuyi gazed at the purple lightning halo overhead, her hair standing on end.

”Is this... the Purple Sky Divine Thunder?”

The Purple Sky Divine Thunder is one of the strongest tribulation thunders in existence, powerful enough to annihilate immortals and gods. At this moment, though the purple lightning above did not match the fabled strength of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, any tribulation lightning tinged with purple was surely no ordinary tribulation lightning.

This bolt was not something Jiang Yuebai could withstand; even Zhao Fuyi would need to activate her strongest Great Array to resist.

However, if she could withstand it, the Hongmeng Purple Qi within the purple lightning was the best foundation for the Great Dao.

Rumble, rumble!

Zhao Fuyi looked up; her tribulation thunder was ready to strike, and slightly tinged with purple due to the influence of the purple lightning.

Zhao Fuyi glanced in Jiang Yuebai’s direction, having initially intended to sacrifice her trump card to protect her once. Now it seemed the Heavenly Dao had calculated to prevent her from intervening; all she could do now was attend to herself first!

The imposing glow of the Great Array rose to the sky, simultaneously with a barrel-thick purple lightning bolt, like a sword piercing the heavens, crashed fiercely toward Jiang Yuebai’s head.

With such a fearful might, even those watching from across the sea believed once again that a sea dragon was crossing its tribulation in the deep ocean.

Bang!

The thunder struck with the force of ten thousand jins; Lii Jiuchuan realized that by the time he wanted to act, it was already too late. He could only watch as the purple lightning devoured everything, even the sea itself disappearing in an instant, leaving behind a terrifying abyss.

At this moment, Lii Jiuchuan seemed to hear a slight cracking sound. The thunder tide vibrated and suddenly began to collapse inward, as if being consumed by something, with streams of multicolored light shooting out from the center of the purple lightning, hissing strangely.

Lii Jiuchuan’s Five Elements Glazed Tower suddenly trembled, longing to rush toward those five-colored streams and absorb them, but Lii Jiuchuan’s pupils tightened as he held it down.

”This is the Five Elements Origin Power, the Heavenly Stone?! That girl actually has the Heavenly Stone! Hahaha!”

Lii Jiuchuan could not help but laugh aloud; Jiang Yuebai’s tribulation was indeed a dangerous and thrilling turning point. ℴ

In the blink of an eye, the purple lightning was fused and consumed by the multicolored brilliance, and the tribulation clouds rolled east, a heavenly light tearing apart the darkness.

The fierce wind ceased, a green bird carried purple qi from the east, the sudden rain transformed into drifting petals, and golden lotus light blossomed layer upon layer on the surface of the sea, a white dragon surged overturning the sea.

Roar!!

Heavenly flowers fell chaotically, earth surged with golden lotus, signaling the success of Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon, similar yet different from when Jiang Yuebai established her Foundation.

Under the lingering might of the purple lightning, Lii Jiuchuan rushed toward Jiang Yuebai, seeing her lying bloodied at the center of a sea of golden lotus, surrounded and protected by illusions of a green bird and white dragon, with purple qi enveloping her.

At her abdominal position, a Glazed Lotus Platform spun suspended mid-air, with multicolored light containing a trace of purple qi, turning slowly at the center of the lotus, with faint traces of lightning and thunder, as if Primordial Chaos was opening the heavens.

Lii Jiuchuan’s heart trembled: had the Lotus Platform fused with the Heavenly Stone, and beneath the Hongmeng Purple Qi, opened up a small world?

Rumble, rumble!

Over at Zhao Fuyi’s side, the tribulation thunder was about to descend; Lii Jiuchuan quickly waved his large sleeves to disperse the golden lotus halo everywhere, helping Jiang Yuebai to take the Lotus Platform into her Dantian while securing the two Storage Magic Treasures she had deliberately pressed beneath her, then left with her.

As Lii Jiuchuan fled quickly, he also sent a message to True Monarch Lingjun, asking him to temporarily act as a protector for Zhao Fuyi, keeping watch around.

Having covered three hundred miles, thunder boomed above, the sea rolled and surged.

Zhao Fuyi’s tribulation had begun!

At the same time, Lii Jiuchuan noticed several streaks of Tunneling Light speeding toward them, all Nascent Soul Cultivators from the North Sea with profound cultivation.

They were certainly attracted by the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon and the aura of the Heavenly Stone borne by this girl, daring to venture over for a look.

Lii Jiuchuan hurriedly concealed the presence and aura of the two, accelerating their escape.

After a Divinity Transformation Tribulation thunder fell, a voice full of vigor resonated across the sea.

”This is Zhao Fuyi of the Heavenly Interence Sect; you dare to disturb me, and I shall kill without mercy!”

Upon hearing that, Lii Jiuchuan smiled knowingly, unsure if this girl would get the chance to thank Fuyi.

The trouble stirred by her Core Formation had now all been taken on by Fuyi; even if those people harbored suspicions, they would not dare confirm it with Fuyi.

Waves retreat only to return, the north wind stirs several peals of thunder.

The Heavenly Dao is truly busy!

＊

Jiang Yuebai rose and fell in the darkness, unsure of how long she drifted, unable to see anything or sense any existence, only hearing the relentless rumbling of thunder, quite aggravating.

A strip of purple light cut through the darkness, and her floating body suddenly plummeted, landing heavily on the ground.

The scent of soil and grass filled her nostrils with a cool dampness; she opened her eyes to see the night sky filled with stars, so close it seemed she could reach out and pluck them.

”Where is this? Was I struck dead by lightning and ended up in the Underworld?”

Jiang Yuebai stood and looked around; she stood on a piece of grassland about ten mu in size, a short distance away lay a small water pool, and beside it were rocks shining with golden light.

There was also a solitary small tree as tall as a person growing at the edge; Jiang Yuebai curiously approached when suddenly a purple lightning bolt tore through the darkness and struck the tree directly.

Startled, Jiang Yuebai jumped back; she had truly been frightened by lightning, and now instinctively wanted to dodge at its sight.

The small tree burst into flames, yet after watching for a long while, the tree did not burn away; rather, the fire continued to blaze upon it.

The purple lightning silently flashed in the night sky; Jiang Yuebai’s mind stirred, and her consciousness seemed to elevate infinitely, overlooking from high above.

She saw this piece of land nestled at the center of a massive five-colored lotus blossom, beneath the galaxy, and within the surrounding darkness were more lotuses—whether they bore land like this was unknown.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up.

”Could this be the small world born from my Lotus Platform? My own small world?!”
