Chapter 604: Shen Wu Wind Tribulation

Proofreader: Arya

Triste’s collection world.

The ice layer.

Snowstorms ravaged the land.

The world was barren.

A black-clothed girl sat across from Gu Qing Shan, carefully watching over him.

At a certain point, her expression slightly changed.

『 I can feel it, his soul vessel is returning 』

Li Yang lightly smiled.

She stood up from her chair and stretched.

『 I’ll leave first, I have some business to attend to 』she spoke to the air.

The Chao Yin sword suddenly appeared.

Oong—- oong? It asked her.

『 Ah, he’s returning soon, there shouldn’t be any problem, for now, so I can leave to do other things without concerns 』Li Yang replied.

Oong?? The Chao Yin sword asked again.

『 If he needs to find me, he’d naturally have his ways, and I really do have important business to attend to. I’m actually late you know 』

Li Yang waved to the Chao Yin sword and disappeared into the void of space.

The Chao Yin sword fell silent.

It felt a bit confused.

She clearly came to find him, so why did she leave when he was about to wake up again?

—–couldn’t she have at least stayed and told him what she wanted to say?

A second later, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

He stood up.

“Chao Yin, who came here?”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the bamboo chair across from him and asked.

The Chao Yin sword let off a series of small vibrations.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression slowly loosened.

“Is that so? She was watching over me?”

Oong!

The Chao Yin sword nodded with its hilt.

Then it hesitantly looked behind Gu Qing Shan.

Only the Six Paths Great Mountain sword was there, the Earth sword was missing.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and told it: “It was an urgent situation at the time, both the Earth sword and I had to use everything we had to kill the enemy.

…

On another side.

After Li Yang went into the space vortex, she quickly arrived at another world.

This was a strange world filled with flowers.

Within the sea of flowers, countless Tianma were happily dancing and singing without any worry.

Li Yang walked straight into the sea of flowers.

Her sisters have been waiting here for a while.

The Progenitor Fiendess sat on top of a high platform, not saying anything.

『 Mother, I’ve returned 』Li Yang bowed to greet her.

『 Just now, a Tribulation began in Shen Wu world, did you obtain the Seat of Tribulation? 』the Progenitor Fiendess asked.

『 Yes, it was a Projection realm cultivator attempting to breakthrough to Tribulation realm 』

『 Then why are you so late? The Wind Tribulation had begun for a while already 』

『 I—— 』

『 Did you go to him again? 』the Progenitor Fiendess asked.

『 Yes 』Li Yang lowered her gaze and answered.

『 Li Yang… 』the Progenitor Fiendess sighed.

Li Yang lowered her head: 『 Forgive me, Mother 』

『 No, I don’t blame you for that 』

Li Yang looked up in surprise as she gazed at her Mother.

The Progenitor Fiendess thought about it briefly and slowly told her: 『 The entire Samsara of the Shen Wu world underwent considerable changes, even the Laws of heaven and earth are slowly being altered 』

『 I can feel it, not only the Samsara worlds, but every world in the Outer Planes will be plunged into a great calamity very soon 』

『 That is why, at this moment, making powerful allies is a good way to protect us Tianma as a whole 』

『 So you may go and act as you see fit, Mother will support your decision 』

Empress Li Yang trembled slightly before replying: 『 Yes, Mother 』

She once again bowed, backed off a few steps and disappeared into the void of space.

Shen Wu world.

A huge Heaven’s Tribulation was undergoing.

Going from Sainted to Projection and Projection to Tribulation both required a cultivator to face a duo Tribulation of Wind and Lightning.

The only difference was that when a cultivator breaks through to Projection realm, the Wind Tribulation will summon a total of 8 Seats for devils and fiends.

While a total of 16 Seats for devils and fiends will be summoned when breaking through to Tribulation realm.

And at this time, the Lightning Tribulation had already ended.

The Wind Tribulation had begun for a while.

In the middle of the storm, a single cultivator was alone.

Li Yang flew out from a crack in space and into the void of space around the wind.

『 I was late 』

She nodded to greet the Tianma girls around her.

The Tianma quickly lowered their heads to bow to her—— as they were her subordinates.

Li Yang looked around to see the other 15 kinds of devils and fiends summoned for the Wind Tribulation were all standing, holding their breaths without attacking.

She asked in confusion: 『 What’s going on here? The Wind Tribulation had already started for a while, why didn’t any Fiend Kings leading their troops to attack? 』

One of the Tianma answered her: 『 The other 7 Fiend Kings had already led their troops to attack just now, but they were all killed 』

『 The one facing the Tribulation this time is that strong? 』Li Yang exclaimed in surprise.

『 When this person fights, their attacks are too powerful, each strike aimed straight for the throat, risking their life with every attack, so everyone is a bit wary 』the Tianma replied.

『 Have our people tried to attack yet? 』Li Yang asked.

『 We have, but this person’s Dao heart is firm and there wasn’t any gap in their inner sight, so we couldn’t breakthrough 』another Tianma answered.

Li Yang looked at the cultivator facing the Tribulation below.

That cultivator wore a helmet that included a protective visor, their armor was slender and fit their form perfectly without leaving any gaps.

The cultivator held a shining white Blade in hand, silently standing in the wind without moving.

All of a sudden, the troops of the 8 devil races appeared from the wind and dived straight at the cultivator from above.

The cultivator’s body moved, riding the wind upwards.

Blinding gleams of Blade slashed towards the sky.

Without being able to fight back, over a thousand devils were sliced apart right away.

Clang clang clink clink clang clang!

Boom!

Being surrounded by the devil troops, the cultivator’s armor was constantly ringing by the strikes of the devil’s and fiend’s army.

At that moment, when a Fiend King saw a gap, it struck the cultivator downwards, making a large hole on the ground.

The Fiend King laughed triumphantly: 『 Hak, this fool only knows how to attack, I’ll—– 』

Its voice stopped.

Several dozen strings of blood appeared around its body as it began to fall apart in large chunks.

A Fiend King was killed!

Within the dust, the cultivator stood up again, their body still as straight as a spear.

The cultivator swung their blade to discard the blood on it.

That was the Fiend King’s blood.

Seeing that, the fiends and devils on all sides felt scared, not wanting to come up to attack for now.

『 Master, what do we do now? 』

One of the Tianma asked.

Li Yang thought about it, but didn’t answer and instead appeared from the Wind Tribulation.

The cultivator immediately recognized her.

The cultivator raised their Blade, but as soon as they saw Li Yang clearly, they slowly lowered it again.

Seeing this reaction, Li Yang descended.

She stood across the cultivator and lightly curtsied, speaking: 『 If you’ve already met me, you must have participated in that day’s great battle 』

A brief silence.

Soon enough, a clear chiming female voice came from behind the cultivator’s visor: “That day when we went against the Virtualized realm cultivator of another world, I saw you manifested in the air and jointly fought against the enemy with Gu Qing Shan”

『 Indeed, I was 』Li Yang nodded.

The female cultivator hesitated for a bit, couldn’t help herself and asked: “He—- how is he now?”

『 He’s very well, in fact, he had just reached Projection realm. Soon enough, he should return 』Li Yang replied.

The female cultivator didn’t move or say anything, but Li Yang could still feel that she had lightly sighed in relief.

Li Yang didn’t pay too much attention to that.

In the end, Gu Qing Shan was a General on their side, furthermore, he saved their entire world, so it was natural for her to feel relieved to hear news of Gu Qing Shan.

“Are you here to stop me from facing my Tribulation?” the female cultivator continued asking.

Li Yang shook her head: 『 I and Gu Qing Shan are allies, and you are on his side, so we Tianma won’t make it difficult for you 』

“Is that possible?” the female cultivator was surprised.

『 Indeed, but as the holder of one of the Seats of Tribulation during this Wind Tribulation, I have to attack you once, so raise your Blade 』Li Yang said.

The female cultivator raised her Blade as instructed.

This Blade was about 6.6cm longer than a normal Blade, the shaft of the Blade was thin, drawing a straight line from the hilt to the top of the Blade.

This was a Blade meant for female cultivators, much more flexible and dexterous than male cultivator’s Blades whose backs were much wider.

But such a sword when held in this female cultivator’s hand showed off nothing but fierceness and majesty.

Li Yang stepped forward and lightly flicked the Blade.

『 Done 』she said.

“Was that… it?” the female cultivator was stunned.

『 Hm, Gu Qing Shan’s Wind Tribulation was faced exactly the same way 』Li Yang told her.

The female cultivator didn’t say anything, apparently very shaken.

『 How rare 』Li Yang praised her, 『 I can tell that you are only just over 20 years old, yet you already achieved this level of Bladesmanship, what excellent talent you have 』

Being praised like this, the female cultivator felt a bit embarrassed.

The female cultivator put her Blade away, slightly bowing: “You praise too much, I’m merely following my own will”

『 Then what is your will? 』Li Yang asked.

“The Blade lives and dies for the Dao, moving forward to become peerless, that is all”

The female cultivator softly answered.
