Chapter 1048 : Terrifying Heavenly Might!
“No!” Jun Mo Xie shook his head and smiled serenely. “This test belongs to both of us. We must face it alongside with each other. Not only this one before us right now, even the next one, the one that follows after, it’ll all be undergone by both of us together! Believe me. When I am around, we will definitely make it!”
Miao Xiao Miao bit her lip, nodding her head heavily. Then, she gently pressed her petite body into the embrace of this man, her small head leaning against his shoulder... Miao Xiao Miao whispered, “Jun... Having you in this lifetime... I’m really happy... and blissful! Even if I don’t make it through this tribulation, I do not have any regrets in this life anymore!”
Jun Mo Xie hugged her and said, “How can you have no regrets! You have yet to bear me children yet, bring our children up together, and grow old together!. How can you say that you have no regrets in this life so casually. Aren’t you a little too unambitious. Even if you have no regrets, I won’t agree with it.”
The heavy rain continued to pour down. Both of them were completely drenched. The weather had been hot recently, so the clothes they wore were extremely light and thin. Miao Xiao Miao’s clothes clung onto her frame, showing off all her curves. Hugging each other like this was no different from two naked bodies hugging together. But there was no lust on their minds, only love...
This moment, there was an unusually firm faith in Miao Xiao Miao’s heart. Jun Ye is with me! Nothing must happen to him! If I don’t make it, neither will he.... But I definitely will not allow that sort of thing to happen... As long as I feel that I can no longer bear it, I’ll commit suicide first!
If I die, the Heavenly Tribulation will naturally disappear too!
That way, Jun Ye will be safe!
A loud clap of thunder rang across the skies! A flash of lightning descended! Striking right at Miao Xiao Miao’s head!
The first wave of Heavenly Tribulation had finally arrived!
“Get away a little!” Miao Xiao Miao suddenly snapped back to her senses, her Xuan Qi circulating about in a frenzy. In her business, she still sent out a gentle force to push Jun Mo Xie aside. At a crucial time like this, any tiniest bit of Xuan Qi could affect the outcome of the Heavenly tribulation. But as long as it could get her lover slightly further away from danger, Miao Xiao Miao didn’t scrimp on using that gentle but forceful force to push Jun Mo Xie away. At the same time, she rose up to the skies to meet with the lightning in the air!
Staying on the ground would definitely affect her lover! So she could only offset the threat in the air!
“Boom!” That lightning tribulation came striking down, but it also vanished afterwards!
She barely had time to catch her breath when the second came down from the clouds with dazzling brightness!
Along with the loud sound of the second strike of lightning, Miao Xiao Miao returned back onto the ground.
Jun Mo Xie watched this from the side. His eyes were narrowed, but his expression was clearly calm.
It was not like he wished to simply use the Hongjun Pagoda to absorb this Heavenly Tribulation and end this ‘game’. But the game this time was the first Heavenly Tribulation Miao Xiao Miao experienced personally. No matter what, he must let her experience it personally. Only when she had personally experienced this sort of heavenly might would she be able to achieve enlightenment and truly have the strength of a Venerable!
This was like a phoenix bathing in flames and being reborn from its ashes.
If Jun Mo Xie ended this ‘dangerous game’ right from the beginning, it would only bring harm to Miao Xiao Miao’s future developments and would defeat the purpose of giving away the Heaven Extremes Pill.
Only when her faith began to falter, then he’d intervene.
Right now, he only needed to see how long she could hang in there for...
“One... Two... Five...”
From afar, in the hall of the Miao Residence, Miao Jing Yun was furrowing his brows as he observed the lightning that descended from the sky endlessly, counting every one of them. His expression turned more and more solemn as he counted!
This Venerable Heavenly Tribulation that Miao Xiao Miao was facing this time may be extremely dangerous in its process, but the duration was relatively short. There were only nine lightning tribulations, which was the most ordinary Heavenly Tribulation. If not because of the effects of the Heaven Extremes Pill which pushed Miao Xiao Miao right to the point of a tribulation without any preparation, it was not too difficult!
“It is already the seventh! As long as she makes it through the last two, then she would have survived through this round. Xiao Miao definitely will be able to go through this tribulation peacefully; she definitely can...” Miao Huan Yu was also counting the number of times the lightning came down. His face was still calm, but Madam Miao who was leaning against him could feel the trembling hands of her husband, grabbing on her own shoulder so strongly that it hurt...
This hand was originally for supporting herself... Madam Miao laughed bitterly and endured the throbbing pain as she looked at the thick, dark clouds in the distance... Her husband always looked like he didn’t bother about anything, always calm and serene, but he had never fallen short in his love for his daughter. Him telling her to relax, saying things like she would definitely make it, was more like him trying to comfort himself as opposed to comforting Madam Miao...
Throughout this entire life, this is the first time I’ve seen him this nervous... magic
“The lightning tribulation is still going on; that proves that they’re still going through it. It’ll be alright!” Miao Jing Yun muttered softly, directing it at no one in particular, as if he were also saying it in an attempt to comfort himself, yet at the same time, as if he were seeking some sort of affirmation...
....
“It’s already the seventh lightning!” Miao Xiao Miao looked at the tribulation clouds in the skies willfully, tightly biting on her ponytail. As long as I endure two more, this Heavenly Punishment will completely end! Then, I can spend my life with Jun Ye! He just told me that he wants to watch our children grow up and grow old together!
She subconsciously turned her head over to look at that youth donned in white standing not far away, seeing the heavy look of concern on his face. Although Miao Xiao Miao’s entire body was in pain, a sudden surge of sweetness and blissfulness filled her heart!
An unexplainable surge of energy filled her body once again!
I’ll definitely make it through! I will! Stubbornness filled Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes. The happiness I had sought for so long is right before my eyes! I absolutely will not give up! I’ll grasp it with my own hands even if it costs me my life!
Thunder clapped and lightning flashed. A powerful bolt of lightning came piercing through the clouds and struck down!
The air crackled with the sudden appearance of this lightning bolt! And the thickness of this bolt of lightning was at least two times thicker than before!
A heavy, suffocating pressure filled the air!
Flashes of lightning came cutting through the air!
That bolt of lightning encompassing a powerful might already arrived above Miao Xiao Miao’s head in the blink of an eye!
Miao Xiao Miao could distinctly tell that all the strength she had right now was useless against this bolt of lightning. Trying to face it was as pointless as an ant trying to shake a tree! The power of this bolt of lightning had surpassed the extents of a Venerable’s Heavenly Tribulation! Significantly!
Even if a Saint Emperor came to face this lightning personally, he would not be able to bear it! Why would such a situation occur?
What is going on? Could it be that Heavens ultimately are unwilling to let me obtain the true love that I’ve desired and yearned for?
Naturally, Miao Xiao Miao was unaware that because of Young Master Jun’s intervention, it had triggered a change in the Heavenly Punishment! His concealed strength was that of a shocking fourth level Saint Emperor. Perhaps other people may not be able to tell, but the Heavenly Punishment would never be wrong!
This lightning tribulation came striking down accordingly to the strength of a Saint Emperor’s Heavenly Tribulation!
And it was an extreme lightning tribulation with the might of a fourth level Saint Emperor!
Miao Xiao Miao turned her head in the direction of Jun Mo Xie in despair. Sobbing, she said, “Jun... I’m sorry, it looks like I cannot accompany you. I’m destined to be unable to grow old with you anymore...”
The menacing lightning bolt was about to strike her!
Miao Xiao Miao drew her sword! Not to take on the lightning tribulation, but for committing suicide! The lightning tribulation came for me! As long as I die, all of this will disappear!
But then...
Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes widened!
That fool... he... he is flying over here...
Why did you come?!
Don’t come over, ah!
Miao Xiao Miao who was about to end her own life was instantly at a loss about what to do!
Fool! As long as I die first, this Heavenly Tribulation will be over! You will be safe! Why are you coming over for?
Hurry up and go back, ah!
Tears poured out of Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes!
The next moment, she felt a warm body pressing down heavily onto her own, enveloping and covering her own body in that safe embrace. But this act of concern had caused Miao Xiao Miao’s heart to break...
The sword in her hand was knocked far away, landing with a clang ...
Miao Xiao Miao felt her heart wrenched, breaking into loud cry... Jun Ye... I don’t want, ah! I don’t want you to sacrifice for me! I rather I’m the one who die... Even if I have to die a thousand times, ten thousand times, I also want you to live on... properly...
But she knew, it was too late, everything was too late... That bolt of lightning with terrifying power had already struck the body that was on top of her. That body convulsed violently, then stopped moving...
“Jun Ye!” Miao Xiao Miao’s entire face was covered in tears as she wailed loudly... Her voice full of despair...
————————
In the hall...
“No! This is impossible!” Miao Jing Yun jumped up, staring at that bizarre lightning in shock! His mind went blank! There was a faint tinge of redness in lightning...
That clearly was the Heavenly Tribulation of a Saint Emperor!
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock!
What was going on? Could it be that there was a Saint Emperor who accidentally entered the boundaries of Miao Xiao Miao’s Heavenly Tribulation and caused the change in the Heavenly Tribulation?
No matter what the reason behind this Saint Emperor Lightning tribulation was, there was only one outcome—Miao Xiao Miao was doomed!
