Chapter 613 Twin Tribulations
In the sky, dark clouds rolled in, as if to devour all life in the world. Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and others had just escaped from the palace cave, and before they could catch their breath, the sudden and urgent alarm of the system exploded in Yun Yao's sea of consciousness.
"It has been detected that the host's and Chu Mochen's spiritual veins have produced a 'twin calamity' resonance. They must complete joint cultivation on the 'Thunder Tribulation Platform' within three days. Otherwise, they will be regarded as 'redundant existences' by the Heavenly Dao, and one of them will be forcibly wiped out." The System Lord's voice was more solemn than ever before. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yun Yao's heart hard.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and looked at each other. Ye Wuhen's face was solemn. As the head of Xingyun Pavilion, he was well-informed, but at this moment his eyes were full of worry. He slowly said, "Legend has it that only true 'Daoist couples' can pass the twin calamity. This calamity is extremely dangerous. Once you fail, at best your spiritual veins will be cut off and you will become a cripple. At worst, your soul will be destroyed and you will completely disappear from the world... Miss Yun, Master Chu, you must make a choice now."
Yun Yao's body trembled, and she subconsciously looked at Chu Mochen. When their eyes met, bits and pieces of the past flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern. She recalled that when she first entered the palace, she was bullied by Liu Yan'er and others, and was isolated and helpless. It was Chu Mochen who accidentally saw her miserable state outside the palace and secretly helped her and blocked many open and secret arrows for her; she recalled that in the sect, she was framed and faced a desperate situation, and it was Chu Mochen who stepped forward and took the three fatal "Burning Heart Palm" for her, but he was seriously injured and vomited blood; and when she was tempering her spirit body in the cold pond, every time there was a life-and-death crisis, Chu Mochen never hesitated and always protected her behind him...
Chu Mochen also stared at Yun Yao, his eyes full of affection, and the ups and downs they had gone through together were also surging in his heart. From the first time they met in the palace of the secular world, Yun Yao's stubborn eyes were deeply imprinted in his heart, and then they practiced together, every time they went to danger together, every time they depended on each other for life and death, it made him more certain that he must not lose this woman in this life.
Without saying anything, the two of them understood each other's thoughts, and at the same time reached out their hands, tightly holding each other's, their fingers intertwined, as if at this moment, all the difficulties and obstacles in the world were nothing to fear. Having experienced life and death countless times together, the answer in their hearts had long been as solid as a rock, that is - never leave each other, and go through it together.
At that moment, they reorganized themselves a little, and then rushed to the Thunder Tribulation Platform without stopping. Along the way, the wind and clouds changed, and there was an extremely oppressive atmosphere between heaven and earth, as if the way of heaven was also preparing for the upcoming twin disasters.
Finally, they arrived at the location of the Thunder Tribulation Platform. Looking around, the Thunder Tribulation Platform was located beyond the clouds, towering into the clouds. In the clouds, there were hundreds of floating platforms engraved with mysterious Dao patterns. Each Dao pattern flashed with an ancient and majestic light, as if telling the thrilling experiences of countless strong men who had experienced heavenly tribulations here in the past.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen took a deep breath and stepped onto the stairs leading to the floating platform hand in hand. As soon as they landed, purple thunder roared in the sky, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years was suddenly awakened, and it struck down fiercely with the power of the "Judgment of Heaven" that could destroy the world.
The first wave of thunder tribulation had three purple thunders coming one after another. Chu Mochen's eyes were stern, and he protected Yun Yao behind him without hesitation. The Xuanbing Spiritual Veins in his body instantly operated to the extreme, and the cold air around his body condensed into a layer of solid ice shield. "Crack--" The purple thunder struck the shield fiercely, and ice chips flew everywhere. The shield actually had a few cracks. Chu Mochen also groaned, and his figure swayed slightly. His Taoist robe had been shattered by the power of the thunder tribulation.
"That year, you were poisoned by Liu Yan'er in the palace, and I secretly tested the poison for you. Later, you were framed in the sect, and I took three 'Burning Heart Palms' for you... Now, it's time for me to take this thunder tribulation for you again." Chu Mochen's voice was firm and resolute, with unquestionable affection.
Yun Yao's eyes were red, tears welled up in them. How could she bear to watch Chu Mochen risk his life for her again and again? "No, this time, we'll fight together!" Yun Yao pushed Chu Mochen away fiercely, quickly forming seals with both hands, and a blazing fire gathered at her fingertips. The fire seemed to have a spirit, jumping and burning, and with her unyielding will, she faced the purple thunder in the sky.
The two stood side by side, one manipulating the calamity fire, blazing the prairie; the other manipulating the black ice, chilling the bones. The calamity fire and the black ice intertwined, forming a strange protective light curtain, which collided with the purple thunder. For a moment, the light was bright, as if the stars were exploding, and the deafening roar echoed between heaven and earth for a long time.
However, the thunder tribulation was stronger than the last, and it never stopped. The second wave of thunder tribulation arrived in an instant. This time, the purple thunder was as thick as a python, and the number was doubled, rushing over with more violent power. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not dare to slack off. Their spiritual power was running wildly, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, but were instantly evaporated by the high temperature of the thunder tribulation.
Under the violent impact of the thunder, the protective light curtain began to crumble, and shocking cracks appeared. Yun Yao was extremely anxious, and she knew that if this continued, the two of them would not be able to hold on. Suddenly, she had an idea and remembered some obscure magic formulas that her mother had taught her in the illusion. Without thinking too much, she muttered something and danced her hands like butterflies, performing a defensive secret technique that she had never used before. Golden runes emerged from her palms and merged into the protective light curtain. The light curtain instantly shone brightly and barely withstood this wave of thunder.
Chu Mochen's eyes were full of surprise and relief when he saw this. He knew that Yun Yao could always burst out with amazing wisdom and strength in this desperate situation. The two took advantage of this gap to quickly take a few precious recovery pills, adjust their breath, and prepare to face the more ferocious third wave of thunder tribulation.
As time went by, the pressure of the thunder tribulation became more and more terrifying, as if the whole world was roaring angrily at the two of them. The third wave of thunder tribulation came, and the sky seemed to be torn apart. Dozens of purple lightning gathered into a lightning column as thick as a bucket, carrying endless destructive power, smashing down on their heads.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, both with a look of determination in their eyes. They simultaneously summoned their life-defining magic weapons - Yun Yao's Fire Sword shone brightly, the flames on the sword seemed to set the sky on fire; Chu Mochen's Ice Blade was so cold that the air around the blade was frozen into ice. The two magic weapons trembled violently in the air, as if they felt the horror of the thunder tribulation, but under the control of the two, they resolutely moved towards each other, and finally, at the moment when the lightning pillar was about to fall, they touched each other with a loud bang.
A shocking scene occurred. The Jiehuo Sword and the Xuanbing Knife merged and turned into a "God-Defying Sword" that shone with golden and silver light. Runes flowed on the sword, emitting an aura that shook the heavens and the earth, as if it was born to defy fate and change destiny.
"With my soul, Yun Yao, I will defy this destiny!" Yun Yao's long hair flew in the wind, her beautiful eyes burning with an unyielding flame. She held the sword against heaven tightly in both hands and shouted loudly.
"I will use my soul, Chu Mochen, to protect her eternal life!" Chu Mochen also stood straight, with spiritual power pouring into the sword crazily. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Yun Yao, and his voice was like a loud bell.
The two shouted at the same time, and swung the sword of the Heaven-Defying Dao together, slashing at the lightning pillar fiercely. The sword light illuminated the entire sky, as if a galaxy piercing through the sky and earth collided with the lightning pillar. For a moment, the world seemed to be still, and then there was a deafening explosion, and the violent energy ripples spread in all directions, and wherever they went, the space was distorted.
Under this violent energy impact, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen felt an overwhelming force rushing towards them, and their bodies flew backwards uncontrollably. The two fell heavily on the floating platform, blood gushing out of their mouths, and their faces were as pale as paper. But even so, their hands were still tightly holding the sword of the Heaven-Defying Dao, without loosening at all.
At this time, the ninth thunder tribulation of the twin tribulations, also the most deadly one, was slowly brewing. In the clouds, lightning flashed, as if the end of the world had arrived, and the terrifying pressure made people despair.
Yun Yao struggled to get up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, the light in her eyes became more determined. She knew that this battle was about the life and death of the two of them, and whether their fate could be controlled by themselves. She turned her head to look at Chu Mochen, only to see that he was also struggling to stand up. Although his body was shaking, he still gave her a comforting look.
The two supported each other and grasped the sword of the Heaven-Defying Dao again, ready to face this final life-and-death test. At this critical moment, Yun Yao suddenly noticed a movement in her sea of consciousness. She looked intently and saw that the system interface that had accompanied her throughout her journey and growth began to slowly break, and cracks spread like a spider web.
As the system interface shattered, what was revealed behind it was actually a real "Heavenly Dao Questioning System". It emitted a soft light, as if it contained endless wisdom and mysteries. Yun Yao took a closer look and found that the image of her mother's residual soul was faintly emerging in this system.
In an instant, Yun Yao understood that the so-called system was nothing more than a trial field that her mother had built for her with her residual soul. Every mission and every crisis was her mother secretly guiding her to grow, making her stronger step by step on the road of cultivation, so that she could face the challenge of changing her fate.
Thinking of this, Yun Yao felt an endless power in her heart, which came from her mother's protection and the deep bond between her and Chu Mochen. She held Chu Mochen's hand tightly, and the two smiled at each other. There was no fear in their eyes, only determination and longing for the future.
At this moment, the ninth thunderbolt had already accumulated its power, like a ray of annihilation, crashing down on them. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen shouted in unison, using all their spiritual power, wielding the Heaven-Defying Sword, and launching a final charge towards the thunderbolt, towards their fate...
