第三千六百零四章 天之骄女

The thunderous roar echoed, and the originally dim sky was illuminated by lightning, turning a ghastly white. From afar, it looked almost like midday.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth had become incredibly chaotic, with fierce gales sweeping everywhere, and scattered rule powers permeating the surroundings.

The power of this final wave of heavenly tribulation was beyond description in words. And now, they were at the most critical moment.

If he could survive it, he would step into the后期 stage of tribulation passage, free from the constraints of lifespan, able to soar among the clouds and swim across the seas, living as long as heaven itself.

Should he falter even slightly, all his efforts would be in vain; his soul would descend into the netherworld with no chance of reincarnation.

Heaven and hell were just a hair's breadth apart. The greater the reward, the greater the risk one had to take.

Immortality!

This was an irresistible temptation for all living beings, but across the Three Realms, countless entities had embarked on the path of cultivation throughout history, yet only a few could truly reach this stage.

Would the Moon Illusion Moth become another lucky one?

After so many years of effort, would it bring about rich rewards or lead to its soul's destruction?

No one knew for sure.

Although Lin Xuan was optimistic about its tribulation passage, he couldn't say with certainty that he had full confidence.

Passing this final hurdle required not only strength but also a certain amount of luck—essentially, the right combination of timing and favorable circumstances.

Boom!

The crackling sound of lightning continued to bombard his ears, and under the raging electric light, the tiny Moon Illusion Moth appeared helpless.

Yet, no matter how fierce the heavenly tribulation was, it always managed to find a way out. Slowly but surely, time passed, and finally, after enduring this last, most terrifying wave of the tribulation, it succeeded.

Primordial energy surged into its body, forming a radiant light ball that enveloped the Moon Illusion Moth, creating an aura that seemed to block divine sense. The moment contact was made with the light, it was bounced back.

"Hmm?"

Lin Xuan felt somewhat surprised and immediately summoned his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye without hesitation.

But even this didn't work.

This time, Lin Xuan was genuinely astonished. He knew his own abilities well, especially now that he had advanced to后期 stage of tribulation passage.

The power of the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye had naturally increased as well.

Even compared to a real phoenix, the difference was minimal. A mere layer of light blocked him from seeing through it. Could this be...

Lin Xuan's mind began to form some guesses. He was well-traveled and remembered reading in an ancient text that spirit insects' cultivation path was exceptionally difficult. Ordinary beasts could open their spiritual intelligence at the婴 stage, even shedding their beastly forms.

However, for a spirit insect like the Moon Illusion Moth, it would need to reach the分神 stage before opening its spiritual intelligence and transforming into human form.

Such conditions were almost unattainable.

Across the Three Realms, throughout history, this Moon Illusion Moth was undoubtedly the first.

Was it now reshaping its body?

Lin Xuan pondered. There was nothing he could do but wait quietly.

Time slowly passed.

Though the process of重塑 one's physical form seemed complex, it didn't require much time.

In a short while, just as a tea cup would last, it was sufficient.

...

At this moment, the primordial energy had gradually calmed down, yet the scene before his eyes was still in ruins, with hundreds of miles flattened by that terrifying heavenly tribulation.

Suddenly, a clear sound entered his ears.

Crisp and serene, accompanied by a powerful spiritual pressure descending from the heavens.

Even Mo'er's face turned pale at this pressure; it was beyond description how strong it was. Indeed, it was 100%后期 stage of tribulation passage without doubt.

Then, a gentle breeze blew, and the dazzling light gradually faded away. The Moon Illusion Moth vanished, replaced by an exceptionally beautiful young woman.

She had flawless skin like jade. Lin Xuan had seen many beauties on his path to cultivation, but few could match her beauty.

Mo'er was naturally beyond comparison, as was Fragrant Girl. As for the others, Cloud Fairy or Yuan Yu were slightly less striking in comparison.

Indeed, their beauty and demeanor were incomparable. Mo'er was graceful, Fragrant Girl lively, and Cloud Fairy ethereal.

The Moon Illusion Moth before him somewhat resembled a nine-tailed fox spirit, giving off an aura of mystery but also a sense of emptiness.

"Congratulations on your successful advancement; you have now entered the后期 stage of tribulation passage."

If another cultivator had heard this, they would be left speechless. But Lin Xuan was no ordinary person.

A smile played on his lips as he regained composure in an instant.

"You?"

The Moon Illusion Moth turned her gaze and realized there were two cultivators beside her.

She couldn't hide the surprise on her beautiful face: "How did you find me here?"

It wasn't surprising she was shocked. As they say, a cunning rabbit has three holes; choosing such a secret lair required much effort.

She never imagined that formidable enemies surrounded her.

Thinking of how she had just passed through the tribulation, if they had harbored ill intentions...

This thought made her break out in cold sweat and sigh with relief after patting her chest. But she also felt reassured; since they hadn't taken advantage of her vulnerable state earlier, it was unlikely they would harm her.

Her expression softened: "Why have the two of you come to seek me?"

"Seeking you for a reason?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "I came here with a purpose indeed. First, I congratulate you on your successful advancement; secondly, I want to settle accounts."

"Settle accounts with me?"

The Moon Illusion Moth was stunned, her expression filled with surprise.

"Yes, cultivating the Jade Net Bees took great effort from me, and now not even one is left after being taken by you. The outcome was a futile endeavor. Emotionally and rationally, I should seek compensation from you; who else?"

"What do you want then?"

Curiosity shone in her eyes. Although she didn't have Mo'er to deter Lin Xuan's actions, she had advanced to后期 stage of tribulation passage.

This young man wasn't weak, but she was no pushover either.

Even if they became enemies and she lost, he wouldn't be able to stop her from leaving.
