[Ding! Qi Blood +10,000]
[Ding! Mental Power +5,000]
[Ding! Law of Thunder +10,000]
[Ding! Destruction Law +3,000]
[Ding! Qi Blood +...]
Listening to the system’s constant chimes, how could Chu Sheng not be ecstatic?
He felt absolutely incredible.
It wasn’t just a mental high; a faint, tingling numbness spread through his whole body, as if he were constantly... well, you know.
’So this is a Celestial Tribulation?’
’Pretty interesting.’
If a mosquito had a human mouth, Chu Sheng would be grinning from ear to ear right now.
...
Gradually, after the sixth, seventh, and eighth bolts of tribulation lightning ended, the tribulation clouds in the sky also began to slowly dissipate.
The crowd outside could finally begin to make out the situation within the clouds.
There was nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The giant mosquito’s figure was gone.
’As expected. Was it blasted into dust?’
"Wait, look! There seems to be a small black dot over there!" a sharp-eyed person suddenly shouted.
A series of astonished cries followed:
"Holy shit, it’s real! It... it’s still moving!"
"That looks like the Divine Mosquito in its untransformed state! It’s okay!"
"It withstood the Celestial Tribulation! And... it looks completely unscathed?"
"For real...?"
From initial suspicion to utter shock, everyone stood dumbfounded.
「In the ruins of the Qin Mansion.」
Seeing that Chu Sheng was unharmed, Gu Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief.
"You damn mosquito, I knew it..."
She was halfway through her sentence when her expression suddenly froze!
’Wait, something’s wrong. In the tribulation cloud just now, only three bolts of lightning flashed—the sixth, seventh, and eighth!’
’That means... there’s still one more.’
She was instantly reminded of the scene from her past life when she faced her own tribulation... and the ninth bolt of lightning that ultimately led to her demise.
The ninth bolt wasn’t just more powerful; it struck the Divine Soul directly!
At this thought, she cried out in alarm:
"Be careful! There’s a ninth one!"
The moment her voice rang out, the black tribulation clouds in the sky had completely dissipated.
But above Chu Sheng’s head, a vast, golden tribulation cloud appeared, forming at an incredible speed!
As the golden tribulation cloud formed, everyone within a hundred-mile radius felt a faint, piercing pain in their spirit.
"The ninth bolt?"
"Yeah! There were only three just now..."
「In the air.」
Chu Sheng also sensed that something was wrong overhead.
’The ninth bolt, huh?’
He glanced at the system’s countdown. There were five seconds left on his temporary Level 99 God-devouring Needle.
Four seconds.
’Heh.’
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chu Sheng raised one of his mosquito legs and aimed it at the tribulation cloud.
"Is it... giving the Celestial Tribulation the middle finger?"
"I... I give up. Whether it survives this last bolt or not, I’m already impressed."
"Facing the Celestial Tribulation head-on? Provoking the Heavenly Dao! This mosquito is simply heaven-defying!"
Three seconds.
Two seconds.
Watched by ten thousand pairs of eyes, the ninth bolt of tribulation lightning finally descended.
The golden lightning landed on Chu Sheng’s mosquito leg, then condensed into a golden orb of light at its tip.
Then, Chu Sheng lowered his head and plunged his proboscis into the orb of light.
SLURP!
’Never felt anything so wonderful~’
[Ding! Mental Power +100,000]
...
"Uh..."
Around the Qin Mansion, at least half the people’s jaws dropped to the floor.
"It... it sucked up the Celestial Tribulation?"
"And it looked like it really enjoyed it?"
"*Gulp*... What... what kind of monster is that?"
The onlookers were dumbstruck.
Chu Sheng, on the other hand, was riding another wave of ecstasy.
’This final bolt of the Celestial Tribulation was pure Spiritual Energy. I actually absorbed 100,000 Mental Power in one go. Holy moly!’
’Thanks for that!’
Chu Sheng’s figure vanished from the sky in an instant, reappearing on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder.
The two exchanged a glance, then... without another word, they prepared to leave.
However.
"Hold on! Don’t you leave!"
Just as the two were about to depart, the old master of the Qin Family, Qin Tianwen, flew out in a hurry.
At the same time, Qin Tianming, Qin Tianba, and other members of the Qin Family also surrounded them.
"Gu Yuexi!"
"Your Contracted Beast stole from my Qin Mansion’s treasury vault, triggered a Celestial Tribulation, and caused my Qin Mansion to suffer this unwarranted disaster."
"You must give me an explanation for this!"
The members of the Qin Family had furious expressions on their faces.
From their perspective, they had suffered a baffling and massive loss. Their treasury was gone, and even their home had been blasted into ruins by lightning.
Gu Yuexi, still unaware of why Chu Sheng had come here, frowned and asked:
"Is that so? And what kind of explanation do you want me to give?"
Qin Tianwen exchanged a look with the others, then snorted coldly.
"We’ll give you two choices."
"First, you marry into the Qin Family."
"Second, transfer the contract of your Contracted Beast to a member of my Qin Family."
"Do this, and we will let the matter of what happened to our Qin Mansion today slide."
Perched on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder, Chu Sheng heard this and laughed to himself.
’Damn, they’re still after the Little Empress?’
’Now they’re even targeting me.’
He couldn’t be bothered to say anything and simply took out his tablet.
"BUZZ, BUZZ BUZZ! (The things in your Qin Mansion treasury were part of a deal between me and Qin Wudao. If you want me to compensate for the treasury, then first give me back Qin Wudao’s life!)"
"BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ! (As for the Celestial Tribulation, I can only say you... deserved it!)"
’The Qin Family had given him and the Little Empress trouble before. The previous wanted posters were also issued under their lead.’
’During the Meridian Gate Incident, the Qin Family didn’t show themselves, so they didn’t suffer any losses.’
’And Chu Sheng held a grudge.’
’As for what happened today... it was simply a case of what goes around, comes around.’
Having said his piece, he couldn’t be bothered with them anymore and tapped Gu Yuexi’s shoulder.
The next second, the human and the mosquito vanished without a trace.
"Don’t go!"
Qin Tianba and the others roared and tried to stop them... but the Chu Sheng of this moment was not someone just anyone could block.
Before, a cultivator at the Peak of Emperor Realm who specialized in the Space Law might have been able to stop him. But now, no one below the Emperor Realm could stop his Instant Teleportation!
And... to be honest, even if he hadn’t left, what could the Qin Family possibly have done to him?
...
「Yuzhou.」
「Near Mount Wu.」
Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng’s figures appeared out of thin air.
The appointed time to head to the Witch Race had arrived, and the human and the mosquito reached the designated meeting spot right on schedule.
Gu Yuexi took out a special, short bamboo flute... and began to play. A unique sound, accompanied by spiritual fluctuations, spread outward.
This flute had been given to her by the Witch Clan Saintess, Yun Yao. They had agreed that as long as she played it in this vicinity, someone would soon come to get them.
But the human and the mosquito waited for a long time, and no one appeared.
Gu Yuexi frowned slightly and looked at Chu Sheng:
"You rest for a bit. I’ll try to find them."
"BUZZ. (Okay.)"
Chu Sheng nodded and deftly slipped into the inner pocket of Gu Yuexi’s clothes.
Of course, he wasn’t going to rest.
He just happened to have some time and planned to take stock of the gains from his tenth evolution.
His tenth full evolution had taken so long, absorbed so many Celestial and Earthly Treasures, and caused such a huge commotion... the results were bound to be extraordinary!
Besides, on top of the full evolution, the subsequent Celestial Tribulation had provided Chu Sheng with a massive boost to his Qi Blood Spiritual Power, his Realm, and so on.
Now was the perfect time to check it all.
