Chapter 3: The Tribulation

The exquisite world, the demons are strife......

The Immortal Tree is the Tree of Life in the Linglong World. This snow-white and crystalline sacred tree is said to be the key to the demon spirit becoming a god. Legend has it that the immortal tree bears fruit once every five hundred years, and the fruit it bears can make mortals reborn, can make demons become gods, and can make monks realize the avenue! Therefore, the Linglong world will be destroyed in five hundred years, and when the immortal Dao fruit is formed, it is the time when the Linglong Demon World is destroyed.

………………

It was dark, and the dense clouds pressed the gray canopy very low.

The wood stood under the immortal tree, looking up at the colorful palaces floating in the sky. Maybe it was because of the weather, his mood was a little depressed, but fortunately, Hu Die was by his side.

Today is the day that all the little demons here are looking forward to, because everyone says that the demon spirit of the Cloud Palace will ride the Heavenly Horse Nether Realm to select the little demons who have cultivated into human form! It is said that the selected little demons can practice supreme demon magic in the Cloud Palace. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, so a month ago, a month ago, a lot of strange monsters in strange costumes came one after another under the immortal tree, and this peaceful grassland soon became lively.

The weather in the delicate world is often unpredictable, and in less than an hour, heavy snow has drifted in the gray dome, the cold wind is cold, and the snowflakes are fluttering! There are large and small bonfires on the grassland, and these noisy little demons sit around the bonfire, drinking goat's milk wine and talking and laughing, and there is indescribable happiness in their happy expressions.

The cold wind mixed with ice and snow fell on the fiery red flames, Hu Die took the hand of the wood and found a gap next to the bonfire and sat down, quietly listening to the past of the little demons around him. There were a lot of people, a little crowded, and Mu had to sit next to Hu Die. The weather became very cold, and the cold wind felt very biting on his face, and the wood couldn't help but clench Hu Die's cold little hands.

"Brother, come on, come on, drink a bowl of our goat's milk wine to dispel the cold?" sat next to the wood, the bare-chested man handed him the rough wine bowl.

Wood turned his head and looked at the mighty man like an iron tower without saying a word, he fixed his eyes on a swarthy seven-foot sword that the big man was carrying behind him, and then looked at the grassy beard on his face, and was silent......

Hu Die looked at the wood, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he grabbed the words and said, "This kind brother, wood...... He...... He's not going to drink, I'm sorry."

"Is his name wood......? , it's really an interesting name", the big man looked at Hu Die's bright eyes with blazing eyes, and said with a sincere smile.

Hu Die was muttering in a low voice, but she was a little happy to hear the big man praising the wood. At this time, Muman, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly got up, snatched the wine bowl from the big man's hand, drank it all in one go, and then sat down and quietly looked at the flames jumping on the bonfire without speaking.

The big man couldn't understand the wood's actions, scratched his head and said, "Sister, tell me what this wood brother means." ”

Hu Die covered his mouth and smiled: "He wants to make a friend and wants to know your name"

The big man scratched his head and suddenly realized, "Oh...... , it turns out that this is the meaning...... By the way, my name is Stone, and I'm the boss of the Snow Wolf Clan......! So how do you know what he wants to say, girl?"

"What an idiot, they're a small couple!" said a woman curled up in a wide fox fur beside the big man with a look of disdain.

"Then this little sister, I would like to ask, how do you see it?" The stone turned to look at the woman again, and tapped his right hand on the door of the head.

"Look at the heavens, what kind of ...... is that?", "Is the demon spirit here?", someone shouted, and the noisy demon group was in a commotion. Mu couldn't help but look up at the sky, and the expression on his face suddenly became very weird, a little excited, and a little afraid!

Above the wilderness, the sky was shrouded in clouds, impermeable. The gray canopy of the sky had turned pitch black at some point, and the dark clouds were surging and roaring like boiling water under the stirring of the cold wind...... The howling cold wind has gradually turned into a bitter wind, which is raging wildly across the grassland, blowing the blazing and bright bonfires in the wilderness in all directions......

With a "click", a terrifying red lightning bolt struck the icy field from the pitch-black sky, and a red fireball exploded across the wilderness. Immediately afterwards, a rumbling thunder slowly pressed down from the sky, and the thunder was very dull but continuous, hitting the heart like a drum, until people collapsed and went crazy......

The shouts, cries for help, and wails resounded under the Immortal Tree, and the demons trembled on the ground, and they were all frightened when they had ever seen such a celestial might! Crimson lightning struck down from the sky like a tide, and the light under the Immortal Tree was as bright as the sun, reflecting the pale face of the wood.

The thunder was rolling, and the rain was pouring down in the pitch-black sky, as if it was about to drown the world into an ocean! Under the immortal tree, the screams were endless, and the wood sought prestige, and the red lightning struck down on the grass, and in an instant, the little demon would disappear inexplicably like light and shadow, leaving only a pile of fiery ashes and a strange bead shining with colorful colors. The beads seemed to be alive, and they were circling around the ashes.

"Tribulation, it's a catastrophe, everyone run, run!!" Shi hoarsely shouted, shouting at the demons, he saw the frightened woman in fox fur next to him, without saying a word, grabbed her waist and ran in the blood-colored lightning and pouring rain. The surrounding demons have already scattered and flared, and no one wants to be wiped out in this strange lightning, because the demon cultivates into a human form, but it will take thousands of years!

Wood was standing stupidly under the immortal tree, looking up at the sky as usual. He didn't feel the rain pouring down on him, he didn't seem to care about the danger around him, and just said in a calm tone, "Don't be afraid, Fluttershy, I'm here!"

Hu Die was almost frightened by Wood's extremely conceited words, she didn't know where Wood's confidence came from, but she wouldn't run, he wanted to live and die with Wood!

The snow-white and beautiful immortal tree has been drowned in the blood-colored lightning wave, the heavenly catastrophe is immense, everything is gone, and only the rumbling thunder resounded in the sky......
