"General, what should we do?"

  As Yun Haifeng's expression turned grim, a Saint Realm expert from the Great Qian Sacred Dynasty, who had accompanied Meng Zhan, asked.

  They had received a message from the Great Qian Sacred Dynasty, saying that the Ninth Prince of Daqian and other prodigies had fallen.

  If anyone survived the secret realm and other forces took action, they were to join in and strike decisively.

  But now, the other four sacred lands hadn't started fighting, so it wasn't appropriate for them to make the first move.

  "The imperial family is the most heartless. Although the Ninth Prince is the most extraordinary prince of the Great Qian Sacred Dynasty, he is not the only prince."

  "You and I are important ministers of the Great Qian Sacred Dynasty; there's no need to risk our lives."

  Hearing the words of the Saint Realm expert, Meng Zhan opened his eyes and said calmly.

  This made the other man's expression change, and he said nothing more.

  Indeed, they were merely subjects, tools under the Great Qian Sacred Emperor.

  There was no need to risk their lives for a bit of salary.

  As the several Saint Realm experts harbored their own intentions, the valley where the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm was located gradually quieted down.

  But Ling Ruoxuan and Xu Bicheng knew that this was merely the calm before the storm!

  Once Xiao Ming and the others emerged from the secret realm, a brutal battle would be inevitable!

  …………

  On the other side, within the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm.

  With the triggering of the tribulation, the laws of the external world entered the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm, causing the entire realm to tremble violently.

  At the entrance of the Old Remnant Village, originally shrouded in gray mist, a light shone from a charred willow stump, and the graceful figure of Liu Yunyan appeared.

  Her gaze turned towards the direction of the Bone Pit.

  "Breaking the shackles of the perfect Cave Heaven, worthy of someone with a Chaos Body."

  Seeing thunderclouds already gathering in the direction of the Bone Pit and the increasingly chaotic rules of this world, Liu Yunyan smiled and formed a mysterious seal with her hands.

  "The chaos in the world's rules is an opportunity."

  "This time..."

  "I owe you, little guy, another favor."

  As her words fell, divine patterns erupted from Liu Yunyan's body, causing the charred stump to tremble violently. Roots spread underground like tentacles, beginning to madly devour and refine the power of the world's original rules.

  New branches and leaves sprouted from the charred stump, growing vigorously at that moment.

  If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  In just a short while, a new willow tree emerged from the stump like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon.

  Such changes immediately caused the original will of the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm to tremble even more violently.

  But at this moment, it was like a delicate wife pinned down by a strong man, not daring to act rashly in the face of the external world's laws, only able to divert a small portion of its power to suppress Liu Shen's recovery.

  Yet even so, Liu Shen seized this rare opportunity to madly devour the secret realm's power to restore itself.

  On another side, seeing the tribulation clouds forming above, Xiao Ming's face turned serious.

  This was a genuine tribulation, incomparable to the thunder summoned by the Dark Storm King or Xiao Ren through their divine powers.

  "Step back, no matter what happens, remember not to come near!"

  "This tribulation can't harm us..."

  Looking at the thunderclouds in the void, Xiao Ming said to Su Qingyue and Yun Ling, then wrapped his arm around Feng Xianhuang's slender waist and charged upwards.

  This action left Feng Xianhuang momentarily stunned.

  "You scoundrel, why are you holding me?!"

  Feeling the strong arm around her waist and recalling Xiao Ming's earlier claim of being her man, Feng Xianhuang was on the verge of breaking down.

  It seemed that unknowingly, this guy really considered her his woman.

  If she didn't protest now, would she end up being his pawn?

  "Instinct."

  "Who told you to smell so good..."

  Xiao Ming replied with a cheeky smile, teasing her like a rogue.

  With his cultivation continuously breaking through and his interactions with Feng Xianhuang, he increasingly enjoyed teasing this aloof Empress junior sister.

  Seeing her blush and get flustered brought him a small sense of satisfaction.

  Though it was quite perverse, it was truly thrilling.

  "Xiao Ming!!"

  Hearing Xiao Ming's teasing, Feng Xianhuang blushed again.

  A dignified Empress, being teased like this, was she not being treated as an ancient phoenix but rather a helpless little creature?

  Boom!!

  Before Feng Xianhuang could react, thunder erupted in the void.

  Purple lightning bolts surged through the black clouds, causing Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang's expressions to change.

  "This is the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning!!"

  "One of the top ten special lightnings among many tribulations, I didn't expect to attract such lightning this time."

  Seeing the purple lightning bolts thicker than thighs, Xiao Ming took a deep breath, stood in front of Feng Xianhuang, and gave her a confident smile.

  "I'll take the main force, you be careful..."

  "Don't underestimate me, I'm not just a pretty face!"

  Before Xiao Ming could finish, Feng Xianhuang stepped forward, intending to share the burden with Xiao Ming.

  Of course, Xiao Ming's gesture still touched her a little, making her less angry about the earlier teasing.

  Rumble...

  Perhaps sensing the couple's intention to show affection, the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning erupted again, transforming into serpentine bolts that struck down at them.

  Seeing this, Xiao Ming immediately unleashed his cultivation, his Cave Heaven appearing behind him, fearlessly meeting the lightning head-on.

  Feng Xianhuang, too, did not retreat, unleashing her cultivation to face the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning.

  At the moment of collision, the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning engulfed their figures completely, with lightning splashing like magma, creating thousand-foot-deep craters on the ground.

  Yun Ling, Su Qingyue, and the others quickly retreated ten miles away in shock.

  Fortunately, at this time, the secret realm's rules were suppressed by the heavenly laws, and it also had to suppress Liu Shen from devouring the original power.

  The gray mist did not continue to contract, giving everyone a bit of survival space.

  Meanwhile, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang were engulfed by the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning, their figures completely obscured.

  Only their Cave Heavens, under the bombardment of the tribulation lightning, trembled continuously, seemingly on the verge of shattering.

  However, with a burst of green light from Xiao Ming, his Cave Heaven managed to withstand the bombardment, even madly absorbing the power of the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning.

  He entered a state of enlightenment in the void, almost leaving Feng Xianhuang dumbfounded.

  "This guy is in enlightenment?!!"

  Seeing Xiao Ming ignoring the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning and entering enlightenment, relying solely on the strength of his Chaos Body and the recovery of the Immortal Divine Wood Art to withstand the tribulation, Feng Xianhuang felt anxious.

  Clearly, Xiao Ming intended to comprehend the essence of thunder, and if he succeeded, she would undoubtedly fall behind again.

  Of course, Feng Xianhuang wouldn't interfere with his enlightenment, as she wasn't a petty woman.

  She just wondered how to catch up with Xiao Ming and not let the gap between them widen.

  "Right, I'm still in a state of aura fusion with him, maybe I can use this opportunity to comprehend!"

  As the thought crossed her mind, Feng Xianhuang's face showed hesitation.

  Because in this state, the aura fusion was also disturbed, and the connection wasn't very strong.

  Unless the two were in close contact, the connection would remain weak.

  "This rascal keeps teasing me, so using him to comprehend the Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning isn't too much."

  In her conflicted state, Feng Xianhuang gritted her teeth and moved in front of Xiao Ming, seeing him sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down.

  Not facing him, but with her back to Xiao Ming.

  So...

  Well, she felt something hard, not very comfortable.

  Her face turned so red it seemed like it could bleed, her heart pounding like never before.

  She swore...

  This was all for cultivation and comprehension.

  It wasn't because she had any feelings for Xiao Ming, thinking sitting in his arms was acceptable, that she shamelessly sat down.

  Of course, the most important point was that Xiao Ming was in enlightenment.

  He had no awareness of her actions.

  Otherwise, even if she missed this chance for comprehension, she wouldn't have done such a thing.

  Of course...

  These were just Feng Xianhuang's self-consoling words.

  Even she hadn't realized that, amidst Xiao Ming's shameless teasing, she had gradually developed feelings for this senior brother, not minding physical contact with him.

  Otherwise...

  No matter how rare this opportunity for comprehension was, she wouldn't have done something so outrageous.
