To outsiders, the dangerous scene was even more hair-raising.
Dense lightning struck everywhere, almost obscuring the view within the storm.
One wondered who could have angered the heavens so much to warrant such punishnt.
Even the Yunxia people, unfamiliar with superstition, couldn’t help but wonder if the heavens were enraged.
Was this a natural phenonon?
"There must be electricity everywhere inside there..."
Within the Yunxia Empire, countless people were fixated on the live broadcast from Ceylon City. After all, such an abnormal event was occurring. In the Border City of Yunxia Country, just across the border from Ceylon City, many curious onlookers with phones were live-streaming the scene. They captured the whirlwind of lightning on the other side and the terrifying sight of a massive, oppressive storm cloud bearing down on all of Ceylon City.
The audience watched with pounding hearts; this spectacle was far more terrifying than any card battle. Cards simply couldn’t unleash thunder with such relentless frequency and density.
"What in the world is going on?"
"Is it a natural phenonon?"
"How unlucky must the people inside be?!"
The great empires were all paying attention. Even the Spirit Card Masters were stirred; they were no ordinary people and could clearly feel the surge of card power within. Was soone actually using cards to withstand it inside that storm cloud?
Too horrific!
Such power was simply unheard of!
"CRACK—"
In the Imperial City Mo Family, Hua Zhuo watched the scene. Her palms trembled so violently that she shattered the teacup a servant had just handed her.
Inside her body, the Cang Xing Die once again began to thrash, seemingly extrely agitated, yet unlike the last ti, it didn’t burst forth. Still not fully recovered from the injuries of the last heavenly tribulation, the Cang Xing Die had no strength to spare. Its thoughts even transmitted into Hua Zhuo’s mind.
She instantly turned pale as realization dawned.
The thunder in the Imperial City last ti... was Wen Jiang responsible for that?
What exactly had she done to provoke such a heaven-shaking anomaly?
Right, last ti she had the help of the Cang Xing Die, but what about this ti?
Without the Cang Xing Die, and with this tribulation’s power far surpassing the last, how would Wen Jiang endure it this ti?
Was this the price she had to pay for her advancent?
Hua Zhuo seed to understand a great deal; her rapid advancent had co at such a cost.
She correctly guessed so of it, yet still didn’t understand the true aning of the heavenly tribulation.
She sat there worrying for Wen Jiang, her hands gripping the wheelchair, palms soaked with sweat.
Wen Jiang must hold on. She absolutely must.
...
Within the Imperial City, other keenly perceptive individuals also detected the anomaly.
Do I rember seeing a similar scene in the Imperial City before?
I think so, but it wasn’t as powerful as this one in Ceylon City.
Last ti, even Bi Fang and Bai Ze were shaken... And an unknown SSR Card appeared. That must have been a remarkable event. Why has it appeared in Ceylon City this ti?
Huh? Look closely... inside that tribulation, isn’t there a strange Card Spirit?
...
The heavenly tribulation was so dense that outsiders couldn’t clearly see what was inside. Only those with exceptionally good eyesight could faintly discern a towering Card Spirit.
Shennong Shi, despite having his own basic thoughts, sensed that the master who had summoned him was in an ergency. The herbs he continuously produced were still consuming Wen Jiang’s spiritual energy.
This tribulation was extrely difficult for Wen Jiang. In her forr world, which had already transitioned to cultivation, she had various dicinal herbs and spiritual plants. Whenever her spiritual energy was depleted, she could imdiately consu dicine. But in this world, there was simply no such dicine for her.
The rate at which spiritual energy flowed into her body to recover couldn’t keep up with the rate she was consuming it.
Everything Wen Jiang did relied on spiritual energy. If it were to run dry, then she would really be finished.
And she was getting closer and closer to Di Jizhou.
Di Jizhou, who had been watching from a distance, seed to realize sothing. His slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a sharp light. Perhaps understanding the situation, he actually retreated towards the center of Ceylon City.
If it were sothing good, would she be able to get close to ?
Wen Jiang paused in her footsteps.
Unfortunately, she had still hoped Di Jizhou was headstrong.
Ceylon City had too many people—evildoers and innocents alike. Heavenly tribulations could differentiate targets within the sa region, but in their fury, the innocent might inevitably be implicated.
Wen Jiang’s target was not Ceylon City itself.
Surrounding Ceylon Cetery were nurous secret bases of the Fiend Organization. If she passed through those areas, most of them could be destroyed.
Staring at the lightning tribulation above, Wen Jiang decisively changed her position.
Although suppressed, her speed was still imperceptible to ordinary people. Thus, when the lightning strikes shifted their target location, it was very obvious: they began to strike along the mountain range surrounding Ceylon Cetery.
Di Jizhou’s pupils shrank; he instantly grasped Helena’s intention.
Damn it! Her wandering around Ceylon Cetery these past few months... could it be she planned this from the start?
Did she already know she would attract sothing like this?
"Good, Helena. Very good!" The man whispered, his voice pleasant and deep, yet it sent a chill to one’s core. "To think she even rembers her own na... and has brought such strange, destructive power."
In his lifeti, Di Jizhou would never forget the person called Helena.
As the lightning bolts followed, striking downwards, the high-ranking mbers of the Fiend Organization, Shui Linglong among them, also spotted the target location. Shui Linglong wailed, "Damn it, that’s—"
With a BOOM, she saw a lightning bolt strike down, causing at least half of that mountain range to collapse.
Setting everything else aside, the experintal base in there definitely wouldn’t survive.
Shui Linglong looked desperate, her heart pounding furiously.
With such a deterrent, no one was foolish enough to approach the thunderstorm’s center. Hadn’t they seen that even the Blood Emperor hadn’t moved?
That was the Fiend Organization’s accumulation over many years! It would all be destroyed in this sudden heavenly tribulation!
When the Celestial Maiden returns, she’ll be furious!
That was their property, after all!
Shui Linglong’s heart bled, yet she had no idea what exactly was causing today’s events.
This continued until soone reported that a Card Maker nad Helena had once stayed at the very place where the thunderstorm began.
"Helena? Where is Helena?!"
Shui Linglong had, of course, heard the na Helena. For the past few months, everyone in the Fiend Organization knew of her; her card style was distinctive, and she hailed from a mysterious location in Xi Zhou.
Unfortunately, for the last three months, she claid she was going to make an A-Rank Card and had been in closed-door cultivation.
Right, closed-door cultivation...
"The place where Helena lived has been struck into a pile of charred remains. I’m afraid Helena died in there," soone speculated.
Shui Linglong’s eyes widened, her expression turning unsightly. "You’re declaring soone dead without seeing the body?"
Moreover, I rember soone reported that during her first few months here, Helena was wandering all over Ceylon City!
