Chapter 995: Chapter 39 Crisis
What is the experience of a witch undergoing tribulation like?
The answer is chaos.
There is no sight, no hearing, no sll, no touch. In absolute darkness and silence, even one’s own existence cannot be confird, making it easy to fall into doubts of nihilism.
Anna started to reconstruct her body according to her mory, first the heart and lungs, then the liver and kidneys.
However, due to the lack of sensory abilities, throughout the entire process of organ reconstruction, she had no way to know what the organs she condensed were like.
It’s like walking in total darkness where you can’t see, not even knowing if you’re heading towards a cliff, forced to blindly follow the road in your mory.
If the organs are condensed incorrectly, initially there would be no symptoms, but as the reconstruction progresses, problems will gradually begin to surface.
Malfunctions in the heart and lungs will cause the body to suddenly lose control and even disintegrate. If the liver and kidneys are faulty, the body will experience pain and start to decompose; if the stomach and intestines go wrong, the body will gradually grow weak and unable to move … What’s worse is that by the ti you realize there’s sothing wrong with your body, it’s all too late to reverse, and you can only watch as the problems worsen, eventually falling into death amidst despair.
In such a situation, isolated and surrounded by seemingly endless abysses, “Yan Yu will definitely not stand by and do nothing” had beco the sole spiritual support within Anna’s soul, the strongest motivation supporting her to keep moving forward.
Suddenly, she felt her body shake violently.
Without vision, without hearing, not knowing what was happening outside, she could only feel her entire body vibrating, and the ongoing reconstruction of her liver and kidneys almost went awry, scaring Anna into imdiately stopping her magic power.
What happened?
Did the enemies break in? Where is my Yan Yu?
The thing that a witch undergoing tribulation fears the most is knowing that sothing must have gone wrong outside, yet having no way to respond. It’s like a victim tied to a hospital bed with their eyes covered, sensing so malevolent presence slowly approaching from the outside.
“Don’t be afraid. Focus on your tribulation, I’ve got everything under control!”
The sound transmission from Yan Yu was like sweet rain from heaven, echoing directly within her soul.
All of Anna’s initial panic, fear, despair, and bewildernt vanished in an instant.
She continued to reconstruct her liver and kidneys, her emotions incredibly calm, and her condition surprisingly good—because she wholeheartedly trusted Yan Yu, not only believing that he would never betray her but also that he unquestionably had the power to protect her.
With that being the case, of course, there was nothing to worry about.
Yan Yu watched the ball of flesh in front of him, his Divine Sense scanning to confirm she was still reconstructing her body, while the sound of vibrations continually echoed in his ears.
They were coming from the top and had been going on for a while now.
Apparently, the traps Anna had set were sufficiently vicious, so that the invading enemies had to cautiously solve them step by step, effectively delaying their approach.
Yan Yu did not allow himself to be too distracted by what was happening above, focusing instead on monitoring Anna’s bodily reconstruction, and protecting her from being disturbed by falling dust and pebbles.
Once again, a huge explosion ca from above, it seed that the enemy had finally breached the last trap and found the clothing Anna had left behind.
Then, there was a long silence.
Although unclear about how the intruders would react after realizing they had been duped, it was easy to imagine that they wouldn’t be in the best of moods.
Yan Yu sneered to himself, continuing to monitor Anna’s reconstruction, suddenly feeling the vibrations from above beco more intense.
Judging by the intensity and frequency of the vibrations, they must have beco furious and started to dismantle the surrounding buildings out of rage.
Perhaps they suspected that Anna was hiding nearby, so they decided to launch broad attacks to indiscriminately bombard the area, hoping to get lucky and catch her in the shock waves and vibrations.
But Yan Yu was well prepared, using the Smoke Mist Treasure to protect Anna securely. Even if so debris was affected and fell, the treasure would block it, preventing any harm to Anna.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Yan Yu sensed sothing wrong, because the vibrations from above were rapidly getting closer!
Thick layers of rock separate this place from the surface. Who would randomly initiate digging downwards unless they were certain their target was directly below?
Very quickly, Yan Yu realized that, for whatever reason, Anna’s location was highly likely already exposed!
Should he continue to wait here, or take the initiative to strike?
Yan Yu, the first Golden Core Cultivator of Lu Country and the fastest Transcendent in the world to enter the next Great Realm, didn’t worry about anyone being his match. What truly concerned him was that these people had co with a suicidal attack in mind from the outset—Even if I fall to Yan Yu, as long as we can disrupt the Queen Witch’s Crossing Tribulation, causing her ultimate demise here, it would be worth it!
After swiftly assessing the situation, Yan Yu quickly realized that he could not just stay put. Otherwise, by the ti the enemy breached the chamber, they would inevitably be extrely close to Anna.
With the Mana of the Golden Core Stage, if he fully activated the Taiqing Yuan Qi Smoke Mist Treasure, very few attacks could penetrate its defenses. Unless the enemy also possessed the ans to surpass stages of power, given the proximity, the risk was not entirely negligible.
Yan Yu’s mind spun quickly; the experience gained in his previous life from dealing with all sorts of ergencies ant he almost instantly made a decision.
Puppet Azhen received the signal and was the first to stride away rapidly.
Her target was a higher-positioned mine shaft, which was also the necessary path the attackers had to go through to reach Anna’s location.
Once in position, Puppet Azhen hid behind a passageway to ambush, quietly observing the situation in the distance.
After a while, utilizing the Divine Sense hosted in the puppet’s body, Yan Yu saw several figures breaking through from above the cave ceiling.
No witches, but there were Werewolves, Blood Clan mbers, and… Emperor Peter?
In his past life, Emperor Peter had been a stumbling block on the Eclipse Queen’s path to growth, ultimately becoming just a stepping stone under her feet.
In this life, due to Yan Yu’s interference, his first campaign to the east ended in disastrous defeat, and it’s likely he didn’t garner much influence within Rakshasa Country… With this in mind, if the Eclipse Queen fails her Tribulation, the Rashan Official would stand to gain the most, wouldn’t they?
A Northern Border with a stable power structure and no shortage of high-end Combat Power is definitely what Rashan Official would least want to see, hence they would be the most motivated to cause destruction. Peter, having lost influence, being sent by Rakshasa as an enforcer to solidify his position seems logical.
Next, through Puppet Azhen, Yan Yu caught sight of another person.
“Phoenix” Phoenix.
He’s a veteran Transcendent as well. Born in Europe, originally went to Miti as a Superhero, later switched back to Europe, and was also the first in the Western World to advance as a Transcendent.
Europe and Rakshasa are not politically allied entities, so it could only an that Rakshasa had offered Phoenix a very high personal price to get him to leave Europe and participate.
If Yan Yu was confident in protecting the defenseless Anna against Transcendents of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, the involvent of a Transcendent at the Golden Core Realm made the situation extrely complicated.
The Divine Sense scanned the flesh blob again, revealing that her internal organ reconstruction was 60% complete, with the differentiation of the stomach and digestive system currently underway.
What if I personally go up and intercept them?
No, showing myself before them would confirm that Anna is indeed below. They would likely have Phoenix engage while the rest bypass to continue deeper to assassinate Anna.
Phoenix, known as the “Phoenix,” has outstanding endurance and is well-suited for sustained combat. With the unfamiliar thods he’d undoubtedly have post-advancent, Yan Yu wasn’t sure he could defeat Phoenix quickly, nor did he plan to risk leaving Anna in place.
In that case, the only option would be to keep her with him.
“There’s been a slight change, I need to take you with ,” Yan Yu communicated to Anna.
At the mont, Anna couldn’t respond. She realized that Yan Yu must have encountered so insurmountable trouble, and her mood beca extrely anxious.
“Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen,” Yan Yu continued to reassure her, “Just keep rebuilding your body.”
However, Anna was hesitant. If she continued reconstructing her body, it ant Yan Yu would have to be distracted to help with the Divine Sense scanning and monitoring, which could potentially put him at risk as well.
But conversely, if she didn’t continue her reconstruction, then the success of her Tribulation would be delayed, and she would still be a burden to Yan Yu.
She didn’t struggle with the decision for long, quickly making up her mind:
Take the risk! Accelerate the pace and go all out with the reconstruction!
