Chapter 13: Ascension and Tribulation
"This cold day pond is a dangerous place, the son has no spirit talisman to help, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, let's go home with the little brother first, our father is very enthusiastic about the guests. The boy kindly helped Su Xie up.
"It's okay, I can go. ”
When he first saw this boy, Su Xie was a little curious about the pair of horns on his forehead, so he asked, "How did you get the horns on your head?"
The boy was stunned for a moment: "This ...... I've had it since I was born, and my dad said it's a symbol of our family, and every member of our family has a pair of horns on their foreheads, probably because they drink dragon blood, right?"
The two chatted as they walked, this was the top of a big mountain, as far as Su Xie knew, this cold sky pool was very high on the top of the mountain, and if the boy wanted to take him home, he had to climb down this mountain step by step, and it would take nearly two days.
However, Su Xie has not yet learned the art of flying in the sky, so this boy is even less likely to fly.
"You just said that the people of your family drink dragon blood, and that dragon blood is highly poisonous, not poisonous. Su Xie said, just now when the boy mentioned that their family has the habit of drinking dragon blood, this made Su Xie even more curious, this dragon blood is a highly poisonous thing, what are the benefits of drinking it, where can the divine still drink dragon blood without poisoning?
"That's a long story, I heard that our father's grandfather used to be a powerful man all over the world, almost all the masters in the Leibi City area, kicking out one restaurant after another, and then he single-handedly created the family, and now there are us under the seat," the boy looked full of admiration when he talked about the ancestral master.
In order to gain more powerful power, the former ancestor traveled all over the world, and finally one day met a Taoist master somewhere in the East China Sea of Lanzhou, and the Taoist told him that if he wanted to obtain infinite power, he must take the forbidden road. The boy continued.
As soon as the boy talked about the past of their family's ancestor, he immediately looked bright, and Su Xie became even more interested in listening to it, so he asked all the way.
"What is the forbidden path?"
"The so-called forbidden path is to drink dragon blood, a highly poisonous thing, to improve cultivation, but this practice is against the heavens and will be retributed by the heavens. At this, the boy couldn't help but shudder.
"So, although your ancestor does have a poison-resistant physique, the final result is very tragic, right?" Su Xie said, "The so-called causal cycle, the cause you plant, you have to taste the fruit yourself. ”
"But there are not really a few people who will believe in the so-called going against the sky, let alone the cycle of cause and effect, they believe in power more, but Master Zu's old age is indeed very miserable, obviously a mixed race with a high level of cultivation, but he died of an incurable disease. The boy sighed.
It is rare for a mixed-race to die due to illness, but according to what the boy said, if there was really no so-called karma, the ancestor who was quite high in cultivation would have really died of an illness.
"Does your family still have the habit of drinking dragon blood?" asked Su Xie.
"Yes, Master Zu told us before he died, every new member of the family must drink dragon blood in the future, and after growing horns, he can have the qualification to become a member of the family," the boy's eyes flashed with a faint glimmer, "This is Master Zu's last wish, we dare not violate it, fortunately, the family has developed to this day, and there has never been a natural disaster, but how Master Zu died, everyone in the family knows very well, we keep saying that we don't believe in anything against the sky, but we are still worried that one day we will be punished by God." ”
Su Xie let out a long sigh: "Aren't you obviously burying hidden dangers for yourself, for the sake of strength, you can even gamble your life ......"
The sky above them had unconsciously darkened, and during the conversation, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and Su Xie's voice was immediately muffled in the thunder, and from time to time several branch-like thunderbolts rolled among the black clouds.
"In broad daylight, you want to scare the hell out of me. Su Xie was taken aback, but as soon as he finished scolding, his face changed instantly, as if he had seen the most terrible disaster in the world.
"Oh my God, Childe, this is not an ordinary thunder, the first time the little brother saw the thunder and lightning rolling between the black clouds is golden, or nine heavenly thunder," the boy looked surprised, twisting his fingers one by one, "This ...... Since this is not mine, then today is the period when Childe soars to the Tribulation!"
The thunder and lightning rolling in the clouds were really unusual, the boy's tone was so surprised, I thought that I had never seen the heavenly thunder in the transitional tribulation period still have golden, but this heavenly thunder came at such an inopportune time, Su Xie was in the stage of dragon qi damage, how did he survive the catastrophe of the nine heavenly thunders?
"I know without you saying it, get out of the way!" Su Xie pushed the boy away and immediately hovered to the ground.
In the face of this catastrophe, Su Xie was unprepared, the number of days of everyone's tribulation period was calculated steadily, there would be no such thing as a day late or a day earlier, according to the number of days he calculated, there was still a full month before the blood gathering period arrived, but why did this come suddenly?
Could it be that this boy went against the sky by drinking dragon blood, and he accidentally got contaminated with his bad luck, and took the opportunity to use me to block this heavenly curse? No, no, he must have thought too much. Su Xie hurriedly shook off the nonsense in his head.
He began to concentrate and adjust the dragon qi in his body, since the Tribulation Period had arrived, he had to resist these nine heavenly thunders in order to advance to the Blood Gathering Period.
If he can't resist, he Su Xie will be wiped out.
"Childe, I can't help it, this Ascension Tribulation must be helped by others, this is not an ordinary thunder, this is the Nine Heavenly Thunder, if you can't stop it, it will be wiped out!" The boy shouted, but he couldn't get close to the area formed around Su Xie, this is the "aura" formed when the Tribulation Period arrived, and once he got close, he would be seriously injured.
Su Xie was silent, he slowly spread his arms, his eyes staring at the writhing golden thunder in the sky.
In fact, he was very aware of the danger of the thunder during this tribulation, he had seen Su Nan cross the heavenly tribulation of the Apocalypse Realm before, and at that time, the head of the Su family and Su Jie helped her cast spells to strengthen her body, even so, after the end, Su Nan still suffered a lot of internal injuries and lay in bed for two months.
But Su Xie can't wait, he must seize this opportunity, if he can't stop it, it will prove that he is indeed a waste with no talent for martial arts, and such a person is not worthy of living in this world where the strong are respected, and it is better to be killed by lightning.
Suddenly, a golden thunderbolt slammed into Su Xie's body with a piercing roar, his face shrank for a while, his chest seemed to be tumbling with flames, and a large mouthful of blood spat out.
"Childe, little brother help you!" The boy was frightened, and hurriedly cast a spell, crossing his own energy to Su Xie not far away.
He looked at Su Xie worriedly, and at the same time looked up at the thunder that day struck down, and the golden flash almost blinded him.
The boy felt more and more incredible in his heart, this was simply the most ferocious tribulation thunder he had ever seen in his life, there seemed to be a golden dragon roaring in the black clouds, with thunder in his mouth, spitting out thunder crumbs, it was rumored that the stronger the half-breed suffered during the tribulation, it proved that this person was talented.
"Can you stop it?" the boy asked expectantly, looking at the man sitting cross-legged on the ground, red and white clothed in blood.
