Chapter 700 Holy Artifact, Chaos Pearl!
Jiangdao stood in place, arms outstretched, head tilted back, as if gaining infinite power, his face full of enjoyment.
Seven auras flew in from different directions, surrounding the airspace above Jiangdao.
Seeing Jiangdao’s expression in the center of the ground, the seven people looked at each other, their faces showing wild joy.
“Congratulations to Senior Brother on completing his spirit perfection!”
“Congratulations to First Senior Brother on emerging from seclusion!”
“Congratulations…”
The seven junior brothers and sisters simultaneously cupped their fists and shouted loudly.
Jiangdao opened his eyes, looked at the seven junior disciples in the air, and laughed heartily: “Hahaha…”
The seven people in the air slowly descended, standing around Jiangdao.
“First Senior Brother, how do you feel now?” Xiumei approached Jiangdao and asked softly.
Jiangdao stopped laughing and directly pulled Xiumei into his arms, saying: “Very good, better than ever before!”
“First Senior Brother…” Xiumei hadn’t expected Jiangdao to act so directly, her face reddened, her heart racing, and she lowered her head shyly.
Seeing this scene, the other six people all revealed smiles on their faces.
Everyone in the sect had known about Xiumei’s feelings for Jiangdao back then.
However, at that time, Jiangdao had been completely focused on cultivation, with no interest in romance.
Therefore, Xiumei had been in a one-sided love for a long time.
Now, seeing Jiangdao actively embrace Xiumei, everyone felt happy for them.
“It seems our Purple Flame Palace will have double happiness today.” The bald, muscular Heijue grinned.
“What are you saying!” Xiumei glared at Heijue, speaking coquettishly.
Heijue rubbed his shiny forehead, chuckling.
“Indeed, we’re not at that stage yet.” At this moment, Jiangdao’s expression turned serious, his gaze sharp, “Since I have achieved spirit perfection… the next step is to avenge our Purple Flame Palace.”
With these words, a murderous aura filled the air!
The previously joyful atmosphere immediately became solemn.
Chenmu spoke from the side: “Senior Brother, the sacred artifact left by the Supreme Elder… can it be retrieved now?”
“Yes.” Jiangdao nodded, then turned around and walked toward the back.
The other seven followed behind him.
The eight disciples of Purple Flame Palace walked together to a stone tablet floating in mid-air in front of the mountain wall behind them and stopped.
Jiangdao stood at the front, extending his right palm toward the stone tablet.
“Purple Flame Technique, Burn Heaven and Earth!”
As Jiangdao uttered these eight cold words, a raging purple flame immediately ignited in his right palm!
At the same time, the stone tablet floating in mid-air also responded, bursting into flames!
“Boom!”
A tremendous aura erupted from within the stone tablet!
The seven people behind Jiangdao changed their expressions and retreated continuously.
“Come out, I need your help now!” Jiangdao commanded coldly, slowly pulling his right hand back.
“Rumble…”
The powerful aura caused the ground around to shake violently.
Meanwhile, within the stone tablet floating in the air and burning with purple flames, a spherical outline began to appear!
A fierce wind swept through the valley!
“Everyone find a place to temporarily take shelter to avoid being accidentally injured!” Chenmu shouted loudly, moving to the side.
The other six people became serious and immediately sought shelter behind nearby objects.
Shortly after the gale arose, clusters of dark clouds gathered in the sky above the valley.
The previously clear and bright sky turned dim.
“Crack!”
A blue lightning bolt flashed across the sky.
In front of the stone tablet, Jiangdao’s eyes were stern, his expression extremely serious, his right hand still slowly pulling back.
The object within the stone tablet now had a very clear outline but hadn’t fully emerged yet.
Yet even this much had caused heaven and earth to change color!
The various Purple Flame Palace disciples hiding behind were now only showing expressions of shock.
What kind of artifact had the Supreme Elder left them!?
“Ah…”
In front of the stone tablet, Jiangdao let out a roar, veins bulging on his forehead, using all his strength to pull his right hand back.
The sacred artifact in the stone tablet seemed to be stuck to something, making it extremely difficult to extract!
But having come this far, Jiangdao couldn’t give up!
He had to retrieve the sacred artifact! He had to become the holder of the sacred artifact to avenge Purple Flame Palace!
Jiangdao increased his power to the extreme, and finally, half of the spherical object in the stone tablet emerged!
“Boom!”
A huge purple lightning bolt flashed in the sky!
“Come… out!”
Jiangdao roared, his entire body’s aura completely erupting!
The spherical object in the stone tablet revealed half… then completely separated from the stone tablet!
“Rumble!”
In that instant, before anyone could rejoice, a massive purple lightning bolt immediately descended from the sky!
The target was directly aimed at Jiangdao!
“First Senior Brother!”
Seeing this, the seven people hiding behind changed their expressions drastically.
They hadn’t expected that retrieving the sacred artifact would trigger a lightning tribulation!
In their impression, lightning tribulation of this level was only triggered by peak tribulation realm powerhouses about to ascend!
And not every powerhouse could safely pass through tribulation!
Even semi-immortal level powerhouses at the peak of the tribulation realm could barely withstand lightning tribulation, so First Senior Brother…
Thinking of this, the seven people hiding behind held their breath.
Especially Xiumei, whose face lost all color.
She stared intently at Jiangdao’s figure ahead, biting her trembling lips, praying in her heart.
“Senior Brother, you will surely pass through the lightning tribulation safely… surely…”
“Boom!”
The massive lightning power descended from the sky, instantly blasting the soil at Jiangdao’s position into the air.
The intense light made it impossible to open one’s eyes.
And this process continued!
Realizing this, the seven people’s hearts sank.
If the lightning tribulation struck only once, Jiangdao might have a chance to endure.
But with such continuous bombardment… even if Jiangdao were made of iron, he couldn’t resist!
“Boom…”
The lightning continued unabated, with tremendous force, making the ground shake.
After about fifteen seconds, the light suddenly diminished significantly.
The seven Purple Flame Palace disciples behind immediately turned their heads to look forward.
What they saw left them stunned.
It was different from what they had imagined.
The lightning descending from the sky hadn’t struck Jiangdao!
The lightning tribulation was striking that fist-sized spherical object just extracted from the stone tablet!
This spherical object had a gray light shield around it, contending with the descending lightning.
During this process, the gray light shield was constantly expanding, slowly pushing the lightning back toward the sky!
Jiangdao stood in place, eyes wide open, watching that spherical object wrapped in the shield, his eyes full of excitement.
After about thirty more seconds, the lightning in the sky suddenly stopped.
“Crack!”
A thunderclap sounded, as if expressing heaven’s dissatisfaction.
After that, no more lightning appeared.
The dark clouds densely covering the sky slowly dispersed.
And that spherical object also revealed its true appearance.
It was a gray pearl, but not a solid entity; rather, it was composed of gray gas continuously erupting from the center and spreading outward.
Looking carefully, one would feel this pearl was like a miniature eye of a storm.
The seven Purple Flame Palace disciples from behind came forward.
“First Senior Brother, is this…” Chenmu swallowed and looked up at the pearl in the air.
“This is the sacred artifact left by the Supreme Elder… the Chaos Pearl!”
“The Supreme Elder didn’t have a chance to use it back then… but today, we have the opportunity! I will replace him as the master of the Chaos Pearl and avenge Purple Flame Palace!”
Jiangdao proclaimed loudly, spreading both arms.
Now, he would receive the power of the Chaos Pearl!
“Whoosh!”
Jiangdao silently recited an incantation, and the Chaos Pearl floating in the air immediately moved.
It flew rapidly to the front of Jiangdao’s chest.
Jiangdao’s body emanated an orange light symbolizing spirit perfection!
The Chaos Pearl slowly approached Jiangdao’s chest.
But when the Chaos Pearl touched Jiangdao’s chest, his entire body shuddered.
“First Senior Brother…” Xiumei’s expression changed, wanting to move forward.
But at that moment, the Chaos Pearl suddenly entered Jiangdao’s body completely.
“Boom!”
Jiangdao’s body immediately erupted with extreme power, spreading in all directions!
The seven Purple Flame Palace disciples standing behind had no way to anticipate this and were all sent flying backward, spitting blood.
“Ah…”
Jiangdao let out a frenzied howl, gray gas rising all over his body.
“Boom…”
His aura kept rising! As if there was no limit!
The seven people lying on the ground in the distance only felt an overwhelming pressure coming, making it hard to breathe!
