Kaboom—
Sixth bolts of tribulation lightning descended, exploding into a larger and more fearsome lightning domain. Compared to the previous rounds, this time was at least twice in power.
Yun Lintian's face turned solemn. He urged The Thunder in his body, trying to play the same trick as the last time, but the result was entirely different. Three bolts of tribulation lightning were successfully eliminated by Yun Lintian's move, but another three were still striking down.
Huoyun Yurou's aura rose sharply. Her body abruptly turned into a brilliant flame, releasing white smoke. She quickly shot to the sky and went directly at the lightning bolts.
"Disperse!" Huoyun Yurou boldly slapped her palm at the tribulation lightning.
Bang!
Her hands constantly burned and turned into charcoal upon touching the lightning bolts, and the lightning current quickly spread throughout every corner of her body, causing her to spurt out fresh blood before falling down from the sky.
The tribulation lightning did not disappear as Huoyun Yurou had expected. It still struck down on her. In that split second, Yun Lintian's figure suddenly appeared before her, with his body shrouded with powerful lightning sparks.
Boooom!!
Yun Lintian was directly hit by the tribulation lightning. He felt as though his organs had been vaporized instantly by the terrifying heat from the lightning. Blood gushed out all over the wounds on his body, turning him into a bloody man. His mind was shocked by the powerful strike, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
"Big Brother Yun!"
"Matriarch!"
Linlin swiftly jumped into the air and rescued Yun Lintian and Huoyun Yurou before landing on the ground. She looked at Yun Lintian in panic. "Big Brother Yun!?… Big Brother Yun!?"
"Ugh!" After Linlin called out a few times, Yun Lintian became sober, and the unbearable pain immediately hit him. He didn't hesitate to stuff several healing pills into his mouth and began to appease the pain by utilizing profound energy.
Huoyun Yurou was no different. She struggled to get up and tried her best to recover as much as possible before the final round of tribulation came.
"Oh? Still alive?" Hongyue's voice that was mixed with a tinge of playfulness resounded in Yun Lintian's mind, causing his face to darken.
"By the way, this tribulation is a bit abnormal. Maybe it discovers your identity and tries to eliminate you." Hongyue changed her tone. "You're lucky that this is not the Divine World. The tribulation's power is limited by the plane. Otherwise, you would become ashes by now."
"Should I say thank you?" Yun Lintian's lips twitched slightly. At the same time, he began to worry about his future. He wasn't sure what kind of tribulation he would face at that time.
Hongyue was about to say something. She suddenly perceived the change in the sky, and the corner of her lips curled up. "Happy getting roast."
Yun Lintian opened his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky. It was not just him but also everyone in the Ancestral Land. They held their breaths in unison upon seeing the scene in the sky.
At this moment, the color of the sky showed a strange phenomenon. A crimson radiance suddenly mixed with the originally purple-lit world. The originally purple brilliance from the lightning had now inexplicably changed under the distortion. There was now a rotating region of crimson red that resembled fresh blood.
"What is that?" Huoyun Rui, who was usually bold and courageous, was shivering in fear.
Huoyun Zhu and the other elders were no exception. Their faces were pale, voided of blood as they stared at the crimson sky.
Huoyun Yurou opened her eyes and glanced at the sky. It was strange that her heart was exceptionally calm at the moment, as though life and death didn't matter to her. She slowly rose from the ground and turned to look at every clansman.
"I hereby declare that Huoyun Zhu will take the deputy clan head position until Lingling and Yanyan become stronger enough to take the position."
Huoyun Yurou's voice echoed in the Ancestral Land, attracting everyone's attention.
"No…! Grandma!" Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan looked at her grandmother in despair. They wanted to rush to the top of the mountain, but they were stopped by the elders nearby.
"Matriarch, we will fight with you!" Huoyun Zhu gritted her teeth and rushed toward Huoyun Yurou. However, her movement was abruptly halted by Huoyun Yurou's shout.
"All of you stay where you are! This is my order!" Huoyun Yurou released a majestic aura that carried an unquestionable attitude.
"You can't do this, Matriarch!" Huoyun Xiao yelled with tearful eyes.
Huoyun Yurou ignored everyone and turned to look at her granddaughters. "Listen to your elders, understand?"
"No! Grandma! You have to stay with me!" The Huoyun sisters desperately shook their heads and struggled to get out of the restraint, but it was futile.
Huoyun Yurou smiled and turned to Yun Lintian. "Thank you for helping me. Looks like heaven doesn't want me to live further… Before I go, can you promise me one thing? Please look after everyone until they can stand by themselves."
Yun Lintian stared at Huoyun Yurou for a moment and suddenly let out a smile. "I won't promise you."
Huoyun Yurou was startled, and then she heard Yun Lintian's voice. "You will be fine and take care of everyone by yourself."
Buzz—
Eight brilliant colored lights exploded from Yun Lintian's body, and the gorgeous crown with eight exquisite jewels appeared on Yun Lintian's head.
The dazzling light caused everyone to involuntarily block their eyes with their hands. When they retracted their hands, they were immediately attracted by the breathtaking crown on Yun Lintian's head.
At the same time, all the weaker clansmen knelt on the ground directly. They didn't know why, but they had the strong urge to kneel by merely looking at the crown.
Huoyun Zhu and the other elders were much stronger. Although they also had the same urge in their hearts, they could resist it.
Huoyun Yurou's pupils shrank in shock as she stared at the crown on Yun Lintian's head. At her realm, her perception was extremely sharp. This crown possessed an unimaginable power that could rule every single thing in the world…. What is that?
