Heaven-defying Phoenix

Jiu Muli's heart sank, when the Nine-colored Lotus said that she was going to undergo the heavenly tribulation, she knew what was going on, and her heart became extremely complicated.    

Not all cultivators or treasures had the right to activate the lightning tribulation, but it was due to the appearance of extremely monstrous and heaven-defying things.    

She never thought that when a lotus seed matured into a Nine-colored Lotus, it would actually trigger a lightning tribulation. She only knew a little from the records how powerful the lightning tribulation was, she wasn't very clear about it.    

She did not know if the Nine-colored Lotus would be able to survive such a terrifying lightning tribulation, but with her current cultivation, she could not help, and could only watch from the side.    

The Nine-colored Lotus had always been extraordinary, this was something that Jiu Muli was well aware of. Even if she were to trigger the lightning tribulation, she still did not know how strong the Nine-colored Lotus was, or whether the other party had the ability to pass the lightning tribulation. She could not help but be worried.    

Compared to the Little Lamp, her feelings for the Nine-colored Lotus were not deep. In fact, she had never felt that it was anything special. Other than eating snacks, it did not help her in any way.    

However, it was different this time. Not only did it help Jiu Muli tame the nine Exotic Flame, it also helped her drive the Exotic Flame to become her most indispensable treasure.    

If the Nine-colored Lotus fails to transcend the tribulation, then the Exotic Flame will also gain and lose.    

Boom!    

The thunder sounded out again. This time, the killing intent was even thicker. The dark clouds were denser, as if they were brewing an earth-shattering attack.    

Swoosh.    

Right at this moment, the Nine-colored Lotus flew up into the sky with unparalleled speed. His target was precisely the place where the lightning was the most concentrated.    

Boom!    

The lightning seemed to have sensed his target, suddenly a ray of lightning struck down from the sky with lightning speed, heading straight for Nine-colored Lotus.    

"Be careful!"    

Seeing that, Jiu Muli's heart tightened, at the same time he was sweating on behalf of Nine-colored Lotus, this guy was too reckless, he did not know what was going on.    

However, the result was beyond her expectations. When the lightning struck the Nine-colored Lotus, it was as if a clay ox had entered the ocean. Not only did it not harm the Nine-colored Lotus at all, it did not even slow down its speed.    

"Is the lightning tribulation that weak?"    

Jiu Muli was stunned, but soon felt that it was impossible. Other than having one other explanation, the only other explanation was that the Nine-colored Lotus was very strong, stronger than what she had imagined.    

The lightning seemed to be enraged by Nine-colored Lotus's unbridled look. Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded, and lightning bolts as thick as thighs instantly appeared, striking Nine-colored Lotus like rain.    

Jiu Muli's eyes widened, staring at it without blinking. She really wanted to know what Nine-colored Lotus was planning to do, she knew that the Nine-colored Lotus had a sagacity and it was not weak. After doing this last time, she didn't think it would throw its life away.    

Just as Jiu Muli expected, the Nine-colored Lotus also reacted at this time. The nine petals instantly opened up, forming a gigantic phantom, which then started to spin at a very high speed, following which, a gigantic lotus bed like phantom lotus appeared, slowly flying up into the sky, with the color of nine of the most gorgeous flowers flickering continuously.    

When the lightning landed on the lotus bed, it did not affect it in the slightest. The lotus bed continued to rush upwards along with the Nine-colored Lotus, instantly disappearing into the clouds.    

Boom boom boom!    

Endless amounts of thunder roared, and the rain-like lightning illuminated the entire sky, and even the entire space began to tremble.    

At this time, outside the inheritance grounds, all the cultivators of the First Island, when the lightning tribulation appeared, noticed the arrival of the heavenly might. All of their faces changed, the mighty and apocalyptic might caused the weak cultivators to tremble, unable to resist.    

Only existences like First Island Owner and Qin Zheng were able to sense the arrival of the lightning tribulation at this moment.    

"What's going on, why would a lightning tribulation suddenly appear?!"    

"It's coming from the direction of the Legacy zone, could it be that some peerless treasure has appeared?!"    

Inside the big city of First Island, many cultivators who had some understanding of lightning tribulation revealed looks of shock, and their faces were filled with disbelief.    

First Island Owner was alarmed as well. He instantly left the cave and landed outside of the city, looking at the thunder and lightning that continuously flashed above the desolate land.    

Qin Zheng had also appeared with the First Island Owner at the same time.    

Sensing that Qin Zheng's sudden display of strength was out of the ordinary, First Island Owner looked at Qin Zheng in fear, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to him.    

Because at this moment, a nine colored lotus flower suddenly appeared in the sky, valiantly charging all the way into the lightning tribulation.    

"Ssss, just what kind of treasure would have such power and intelligence!"    

"So powerful, we directly killed our way into the lightning tribulation, is the speed of the lightning tribulation so simple?"    

The cultivators all felt the existence of the Nine-colored Lotus and all of them sucked in a cold breath. In terms of passive defense, it would already be impressive if they could carefully pass the lightning tribulation.    

"Is it because of the change in the location of the inheritance, or is there someone else who just so happened to appear in the sky above the location of the inheritance?"    

First Island Owner deeply furrowed his brows, unable to be at ease for a moment, because when Nine-colored Lotus appeared out of thin air, even he could not detect where the other party had come from.    

There were no longer any cultivators left in the inheritance grounds, the only person who had not come out was Jiu Muli, but Jiu Muli's cultivation was too weak, even if he had managed to survive, and had achieved a breakthrough, he felt that the other party did not have the ability to control such a treasure, since the difference in cultivation levels was too great.    

Only Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with a glint of light. He faintly felt that the appearance of this treasure might have something to do with Jiu Muli, since Jiu Muli was still alive and well at this moment.    

Very quickly, under the gaze of the crowd, the Nine-colored Lotus, while holding onto the violent lightning bolt, directly scattered the lightning tribulation. Then, as if it acknowledged the Nine-colored Lotus, the lightning tribulation did not continue its attack but slowly dissipated.    

Following the disappearance of the lightning tribulation, the Nine-colored Lotus suddenly flashed in the sky and then disappeared. No one knew where it went, as if it had come from nowhere and disappeared into thin air.    

"That's how we passed it. Amazing."    

"Yes, he's so strong!"    

Jiu Muli was also ecstatic, she never thought that the Nine-colored Lotus would be so ruthless, directly killing the lightning tribulation and dispersing it.    

Following the disappearance of the lightning tribulation, the Nine-colored Lotus flashed in midair, and instantly descended, slowly arriving in front of Jiu Muli. Space also quickly returned to its original state, as if everything that had happened was just an illusion.    

Jiu Muli was not in the mood to pay attention to the changes in his surroundings.    

At this time, the Nine-colored Lotus regained its obedient look, floating in front of Jiu Muli and slowly spinning once.    

"Big sister, I've grown up."    

Nine-colored Lotus suddenly said. Her voice was young and tender, like a child's voice.    

"Eh, you can talk?"    

Jiu Muli was shocked, his expression became even weirder.    

"Yes, after I pass the lightning tribulation, I will."    

Nine-colored Lotus's clear voice once again rang out.    

So cute!    

Jiu Muli was so happy that his eyes became slits.    

"I need to rest, I don't have any strength left."    

Without waiting for Jiu Muli to speak, Nine-colored Lotus's soft and gentle voice sounded. Then, he directly threw himself into the center of Jiu Muli's brows.    

The instant the Nine-colored Lotus returned, a nine-colored lotus pattern instantly appeared between his eyebrows.    

This pattern looked real yet illusory with an indescribable charm, causing Jiu Muli, who was already so beautiful that she could topple cities, to look even more bewitching and imposing, looking even more bewitching.    

Jiu Muli rubbed his glabella, but did not sense any discomfort, and immediately ignored it.    

Just then, the narrow space suddenly shook, following that, Jiu Muli felt a strong force expel him, causing him to feel dizzy.    

Damn teleportation again.    

When Jiu Muli came back to his senses, he couldn't help but be speechless. At this moment, she was no longer on the Kun Peng's back, but was standing in the water not far from it.    

However, at this time, she suddenly discovered that the originally astonishing Kun Peng was now extremely weak, as if its life force had been sucked out of it.    

"Senior, what's wrong?"    

Jiu Muli panicked and worriedly asked. Although he had only known the Kun Peng for a short period of time, he had received a great favor from it from her.    

"You got the Exotic Flame, very good."    

It thought of the woman from before. It thought of the days when it fought side by side with that woman. That woman had never let anyone down, and as a result, she had risen to power and swept away evil spirits with her heaven-defying cultivation.    

Today, it finally saw the same bloodline as that woman, and even the same lotus flower imprint.    

"Senior …"    

Jiu Muli opened her mouth, feeling complicated in her heart. She could tell that the Kun Peng was currently extremely weak, and there wasn't much life left in it.    

"Don't be sad, I shouldn't have existed. I only existed to protect the Exotic Flame."    

The Kun Peng gently spoke, "But remember, these Exotic Flame were originally not nine, but twelve. The remaining three are on this continent, so you must find them. Remember, the limit of this world is twelve, just like the twelve Star River in the sky."    

After saying that, the roc paused before sighing, "Work hard. I don't have much time left. Stand on top of me. I'll send you out now."    

Having lost its life force was tantamount to having extracted its life force. It truly could not live any longer and would disappear very quickly.    

Jiu Muli remained silent and walked over to the Kun Peng's head. She knew that the gap between her and the Kun Peng was too big, so no matter how much she said, it would be of no use.    

Screech!    

Right at this moment, a high-pitched cry resounded through the sky. Following that, the Kun Peng raised its head and flapped its enormous wings.    

Suddenly, Jiu Muli saw the space being torn apart by the invisible force, all the light and shadows around her retreated, in a moment, she was out of the inheritance grounds, reaching the top of the sky above First Island.    

"So powerful!"    

At this time, Jiu Muli finally understood what a Kun Peng was. It was the overlord of the skies and oceans.
