Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

Qin Manor.

The people of the Qin Mansion, who had just calmed down from the earthquake, grew even more panicked.

”A Celestial Tribulation... How is this possible!”

”Why would a Celestial Tribulation appear above our Qin Mansion?”

Everyone in the Qin Mansion, from the highest to the lowest, craned their necks to stare at the terrifying purple-black lightning above their heads, their eyes filled with dread.

The old master of the Qin Family—the former Patriarch, Qin Tianwen, who had been in seclusion—also broke out of his cultivation.

The moment he saw the tribulation cloud in the sky, Qin Tianwen didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately sent a voice transmission to all his clansmen:

”All members of the Qin Family, evacuate the Qin Manor immediately! Retreat fifty li!”

’There’s no other choice, they must retreat!’

’This is no time to investigate the cause of the Celestial Tribulation!’

As an expert at the Peak of Emperor Realm, he was deeply aware of the terror of the Celestial Tribulation. After all, it was an existence that even those in the Emperor Realm feared!

Soon, under Old Master Qin’s command, the members of the Qin Family began to evacuate.

Several hundred people flew out of the luxurious Qin Manor, retreating a full fifty li away.

Meanwhile, in the vicinity of the Capital City, many people attracted by the Celestial Tribulation were gradually gathering.

These people didn’t dare get too close either, all stopping at least fifty li away for the time being.

In fact, as the might of the brewing Celestial Tribulation in the sky grew more and more terrifying, these people retreated farther and farther away.

”Whoa, is this the legendary Celestial Tribulation? This is the first time I’ve ever seen one!”

”Yeah, it seems like no one has triggered a Celestial Tribulation for a hundred or two hundred years!”

”It feels so terrifying... and the power is still increasing!”

”Is someone in the Qin Family really trying to break through to the Divine Realm? Could it be the Qin Family’s old ancestor?”

”That can’t be right. Look at the members of the Qin Family who fled—they all look completely clueless. It seems like they don’t know what’s going on either!”

”Whatever, we’re not the ones getting struck. Let’s just watch...”

Fifty li away from the Qin Manor, the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, everyone discussing excitedly.

Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm!

”Holy shit, look! Why is someone rushing *in*?”

”Yeah, the Celestial Tribulation looks like it’s reached its peak! It could strike at any moment!”

Everyone looked over and saw a figure moving against the crowd, charging fearlessly toward the Qin Manor!

The figure’s back looked somewhat slender, yet it exuded a commanding aura, a domineering presence that feared nothing.

”Holy crap, isn’t that Goddess Gu, Gu Yuexi!”

”Gu Yuexi? You mean that genius girl who’s been all the rage lately, the Future Empress?”

”What’s going on? Does she have a death wish? Why is she charging in there?”

”Could it be... that this Celestial Tribulation has something to do with her? Or... with that mosquito Contracted Beast of hers?”

Following Gu Yuexi’s unusual actions, everyone grew more and more curious about the Celestial Tribulation appearing at Lei Mansion.

In fact, the ones paying attention to this matter were far from limited to the people near the Qin Mansion.

Even several experts of the Emperor Realm, thousands of miles away, sensed the aura of the Celestial Tribulation and cast their gazes over.

...

「At the same time.」

Inside the underground palace, a thousand meters deep.

The current Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Tianming, and the few people with him were in a state of extreme rage and shock, completely unaware of the Celestial Tribulation outside.

Their attention was completely captivated by the giant Golden Cocoon before them in the Spiritual Artifact Hall!

”Damn it, what the hell is this thing!”

An enraged Elder walked toward the Golden Cocoon. It was almost certain that the problem with the underground treasury was related to it.

”I don’t care what’s inside you. I’m going to smash you open right now!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately circulated his Qi Blood and threw a vicious punch at the Golden Cocoon!

VMM!

Instantly, the Golden Cocoon flared with brilliant golden light. The moment the Elder’s fist landed on it, a terrifying rebound force struck back! He lost control of his body and was sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall.

SPURT... His eyes lost focus as he coughed up a mouthful of blood, heavily injured!

However, it seemed that his strike was the trigger. With another CRACK, a new fissure appeared on the Golden Cocoon.

Then, like a line of dominoes, one crack appeared after another.

Qin Tianming watched this scene cautiously. ’Clearly, whatever is inside is about to come out!’

CRACK...

As the final crack appeared, the entire Golden Cocoon finally exploded.

Amidst a flash of golden light, a creature about two meters tall—resembling both a worldly Fierce Beast and an unparalleled Mecha—was revealed.

The next second, it opened its eyes, a red light flashing through its compound eyes.

”BUZZ BUZZ, I’m out!”

[Ding! The tenth complete evolution is finished!]

...

「At the same time.」

The very instant Chu Sheng broke out of the cocoon,

The roiling purple-black lightning that had been gathering for so long above the Qin Mansion finally... descended!

There was no great clap of thunder.

No deafening roar.

In that instant, it was as if all sound had been vacuumed from the world.

There was only a single beam of light.

A beam of light so purple it was black, and so black it was purple, descended from the high heavens, striking straight down at the mountain peak where the Qin Manor was located.

The Qin Mansion’s Protection Array lit up.

As one of the Capital City’s Top Notch Noble Families, the Qin Mansion’s Mountain Protection Array was said to be able to withstand a full-power blow from an expert at the Peak of Emperor Realm. The moment the Array activated, countless glowing runes interwove into a net, attempting to block the descending bolt of lightning.

However—

Block it? It couldn’t even be called ”blocking”!

The instant the net of light came into contact with the purple-black lightning, it didn’t even last a single second before shattering like it was made of paper.

The lightning descended without pause.

BOOM!!!

This time, there was a sound.

The sound of mountains crumbling and the earth splitting apart.

The entire mountain where the Qin Manor stood was pierced straight through by that bolt of lightning, from summit to base!

Countless boulders were sent flying, innumerable buildings collapsed, and a plume of dust and smoke rose hundreds of meters high, obscuring the sky and moon.

But the lightning’s power was not yet spent.

It continued downward, downward, penetrating the mountain and piercing through layers of rock—

RUMBLE!!!

The mountain peak split apart, and even the earth beneath it cracked open.

With the Qin Manor at the epicenter, cracks spread out in all directions, the widest of them several meters across. And at the very center, the mountain was completely cleft in two, revealing... an underground palace, buried a thousand meters deep.

The palace was vast, its dome inlaid with countless night-luminescent pearls that cast a faint, cool glow in the darkness.

”What is that?!”

Fifty li away, someone exclaimed.

Everyone saw it.

The earth torn asunder by the Celestial Tribulation, the bottomless chasm, and deep within that chasm, the structure that resembled a subterranean palace.

”The Qin Mansion... To think the Qin Mansion had such a massive palace beneath it?!”

”Is that the Qin Mansion’s treasury? Just how much treasure must be hidden in there!”

”No wonder the Qin Family has remained so powerful for so long. With a foundation like this...”

For a moment, a flicker of greed instinctively appeared in many people’s eyes.

But no one dared to make a move.

Because the tribulation cloud in the sky was still there.

And the second bolt of lightning was already descending.

This time, the lightning’s target was crystal clear—the underground palace, or rather... some existence within it!

BOOM!!!

The second bolt of purple-black lightning pierced through heaven and earth, directly blasting open the dome of the underground palace. Countless night-luminescent pearls shattered and scattered, and innumerable Array patterns instantly snapped.

And it landed precisely on the location of the Spiritual Artifact Hall.

The Spiritual Artifact Hall, unable to offer any resistance, cracked open on the spot.
