Up in the nine heavens, the black thunderclouds frantically shrunk. There wasn't the slightest rumble of thunder, but it was the pressure that caused the air in this region to solidify.
Anyone could sense what kind of terrifying destructive storm would come after that brief moment of peace.
The Jiu You Sparrow flapped its huge wings as black flames surged. Within the depths of the black flames, there was a tiny purple flame quietly drifting. Although it was tiny to the point that it was hard to detect, there was a mysterious power being emitted from it.
On the ground below, Mu Chen's expression had already turned extremely grave. Under that pressure, he felt as if the Spiritual Energy in his body had stopped circulating. He knew that the next strike of the Divine Black Lightning Tribulation would be coming. If the Jiu You Sparrow could withstand it, then it would be able to successfully pass through the tribulation, shed its spirit, and transform into a Divine Beast. It would truly break away from the realm of a Spiritual Beast and become an incomparably powerful Divine Beast that was comparable to a Sovereign. Furthermore, its future would be boundless.
Naturally, if it couldn't withstand it, then it would fail again. Although the Jiu You Sparrow possessed the bloodline of the Undying Bird, it couldn't rely on it to escape every single time. If there was the slightest mistake, then it would truly vanish into thin air.
Once the Jiu You Sparrow vanishes into thin air, Mu Chen, who had formed a Bloodlink Bond with it, would definitely suffer extremely terrifying injuries. It might even be the case that he would die.
In that situation, regardless of whether it was Mu Chen or the Jiu You Sparrow, it would be the most tragic outcome.
But at this moment, Mu Chen was also powerless. That lightning tribulation was too terrifying. Perhaps even a Sovereign wouldn't dare to face its might. As for a puny Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage like him, even if he used all his means, he wouldn't be able to shake it in the slightest.
"Jiu You Sparrow, do your best." Mu Chen tightly clenched his fists as he muttered.
An oppressive atmosphere enveloped the heavens and earth. The Divine Black Lightning Cloud that had enveloped a radius of ten thousand feet had already shrunk to a hundred feet.
However, the blackness had become even more abstruse. Looking from afar, it looked like a black hole that was slowly revolving.
Buzz.
The Divine Black Thundercloud suddenly squirmed. In the center of the thundercloud, the thundercloud rotated, and actually sank down bit by bit. And in the center of the depression, there was a black thundercloud.
The black divine lightning gathered together. The black lightning was like a ferocious black dragon, slowly coiling.
Boom!
In the center of the depression, there was black divine lightning.
It was like a black divine light that pierced through the heavens and earth. Destructive energy spread and even the Spiritual Energy of the world seemed to be disintegrated in the path of the black light.
The entire world was silent. Only the black divine light was roaring downwards.
It was like the wrath of a god.
Screech!
Flames blazed within the Jiu You's eyes as it let out a piercing screech. The torrential flames were also forcefully compressed by it.
Then, it transformed into a black feather that was roughly ten thousand feet in size.
Mysterious patterns seemed to be carved on the feathers, and black flames rose.
It was extremely mysterious.
Facing the terrifying attack of the Divine Black Lightning Tribulation, the Nine Netherbird had also used all of its strength to unleash its strongest attack.
Xiu!
The black feather shot out.
Piercing through space, it violently collided with the black divine light that pierced through the heavens and earth.
In that instant of collision, the light between the heavens and earth seemed to be absorbed at this moment. Only a black halo abruptly swept out in the sky, enveloping a hundred mile radius.
Boom!
Boom!
Mountain after mountain was swept away, instantly turning into dust. Looking down from above, everything within a hundred mile radius had been flattened. Mountain after mountain had been swept away.
That destructive energy made one feel a chill down their spine.
However, Mu Chen did not have the mood to exclaim. He stared at the distant horizon. There, the black divine light was slowly crushing down. As it crushed down, fine cracks started to appear on the black feather.
The might of the Divine Black Lightning Tribulation this time was too powerful!
Mu Chen's heart pounded as his pupils abruptly narrowed. In the sky, the black feather, which was covered in more and more cracks, was finally unable to endure the destructive impact of the black divine light and shattered with a crisp sound.
As the black feather shattered, the black divine light no longer had any obstructions. Under Mu Chen's horrified gaze, it whistled down and ruthlessly smashed against the enormous body of the Jiu You Sparrow.
Screech!
An incomparably mournful screech abruptly resounded as the enormous body of the Jiu You Sparrow rapidly fell and smashed into the distant mountain range.
Boom!
As if an earthquake had occurred, a wave of air swept out. The area within a hundred thousand feet of the Jiu You Sparrow practically collapsed in an instant as abyss-like cracks frantically spread across the land.
At this moment, the vast mountain range had been completely destroyed!
Mu Chen flew into the horizon to avoid the frightening impact as he hastily flew over. At the centre of the collapsed land, smoke and dust spread out, before slowly dissipating. At this moment, the scene within was clearly seen by Mu Chen.
Within the incomparably deep crater, the Jiu You Sparrow was miserably lying on the ground. The black feathers on its body had been completely shattered and it no longer had the elegance that it had in the past. Sinister wounds were revealed on its body as fresh blood flowed out, instantly dying the ground red.
Mu Chen's gaze was tightly fixed on the Jiu You Sparrow, which was lying in a pool of blood, as his face turned a little pale. He hastily flew towards the Jiu You Sparrow and placed his palm over it, while the Spiritual Energy in his body swiftly poured into the Jiu You Sparrow's body.
Under the infusion of Spiritual Energy, the Jiu You Sparrow, which was lying in a pool of blood, finally faintly trembled as it slightly opened its eyes. An incomparably weak thought was transmitted out, "Have I made it through?"
Seeing that it was still breathing, Mu Chen heavily breathed a sigh of relief. Raising his head, his face violently contorted. In the sky, the Divine Black Lightning Cloud that had already started to dissipate was unexpectedly still flickering with bits of black light.
There were still some remnant destructive fluctuations.
Boom!
A muffled sound rang out from the black thunderclouds as another black bolt of lightning shot down. However, this bolt of lightning was clearly only remnant energy, which was much weaker than the previous ones.
At this moment, the Jiu You Sparrow was already at the end of its rope and could fall at any moment. If it was struck by another bolt of lightning, it might not have any chance of survival!
The Jiu You Sparrow seemed to have sensed the situation as it started to struggle. However, it no longer had the slightest bit of strength left. Its body was dyed red with blood and its eyes were filled with sorrow and despair.
After working so hard for so many years, was it all for naught?
After fighting so many times, it still failed in the end?
Looking at the despair in the eyes of the Jiu You Sparrow, Mu Chen couldn't help clenching his fists. Shortly after, he clenched his teeth and moved, appearing above the Jiu You Sparrow. With a low roar, his hand seals changed. Majestic Spiritual Energy gathered behind him and formed into a huge white tiger. The white tiger stood on the stars as it galloped forth, bringing along endless killing intent as it charged towards the final bolt of black lightning.
Boom!
However, such a powerful attack only caused the black lightning to pause for a moment when it came in contact with it. Thereafter, the black lightning roared as it tore the white tiger apart.
Boom!
The speed of the black lightning was extremely swift. In the instant that it tore the white tiger apart, it appeared above Mu Chen and ruthlessly struck against his body.
It could sense the same fluctuation as the Jiu You Sparrow from Mu Chen, although it did not avoid Mu Chen.
Boom!
Mu Chen looked as if he had been struck by lightning as a mouthful of blood violently spewed from his mouth. His body was enveloped by the violent black lightning as he fell down, landing not far from the Jiu You Sparrow. The ground beneath him had also crumbled from the impact.
"Liiii!"
Seeing this, the Jiu You Sparrow instantly let out a painful cry as it trembled and stretched its wings that were filled with savage wounds, wanting to rescue Mu Chen, who was enveloped by the black lightning.
However, its injuries were too heavy. The moment it moved, it felt an intense pain that nearly drowned its final consciousness.
As the final bolt of lightning fell, the black thunderclouds in the sky had completely dissipated. In that instant when the thunderclouds dissipated, the body of the Jiu You Sparrow suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
The light was extremely mystical as it enveloped the Jiu You Sparrow. Under the illumination of the light, the savage wounds on the Jiu You Sparrow's body started to heal, bit by bit.
"Has the tribulation been successful?"
Muttered the Jiu You Sparrow to itself, as uncontrollable emotions flowed from its eyes. It could feel that the interior of its body was starting to undergo an enormous transformation.
It was a true metamorphosis.
From its body to its bloodline!
Such a transformation should have caused it to be extremely happy. However, it anxiously looked towards the figure wrapped in black lightning, who was not moving at all. Mu Chen's strength was too weak, and was completely unable to endure the black lightning, even if it was only the remnant power of the tribulation!
However, while it was anxiously worrying, the figure nearby started to tremble, as the black lightning on his body suddenly started to dissipate bit by bit. With great difficulty, he crawled to his feet. Bending his body, he involuntarily spat out another mouthful of blood, as his body swayed unsteadily. Obviously, he had suffered extremely serious injuries.
"Dammit, I was almost blasted to death!"
Mu Chen's face was as pale as paper as he knelt on the ground. Wiping away the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, he lowered his head to look at his palm, as a strange glint flashed across his eyes. He muttered, "It's all thanks to the" Lightning God Body ". If not, I really wouldn't be able to survive."
"Jiu You Sparrow!"
As he muttered, he also sensed the dazzling light in front of him. Hastily raising his head, he saw that the gigantic body of the Jiu You Sparrow seemed to start to shrink bit by bit under the divine light.
Its body grew increasingly tiny, before shrinking within the light. Mu Chen faintly narrowed his eyes, but was unable to clearly see what was happening within.
The light continued for quite a while, before finally weakening bit by bit. As the light weakened, Mu Chen's eyes also started to widen bit by bit.
Within the light was a lovely body as spotlessly white as jade. Her figure was lithe and graceful, with a pair of long and slender legs that were round and tight, giving off an exceedingly sexy feeling. Above them was a slender waist that could be grasped with one arm, and further up was a snow white chest, as well as a neck that was as elegant as a swan.
Her red lips faintly curled upwards, revealing a faint purple and long and narrow beautiful eyes, giving off a wild allure that would cause a man's heart to flutter.
Mu Chen was dumbstruck as he muttered, "It really is a female."
