Chapter 230 Extra - Foundation Establishment (1/2)

On the edge of the Moon Silver Mountains, on the Eastern Moon Continent.

The sky was torn apart by an ugly scar, and the edges of the spatial rift flickered with electricity, making it extremely unstable.

The next second, two figures were violently spat out, like two pebbles carelessly thrown away, crashing straight down onto the hard ground below.

"Bang!"

A dull thud was heard.

Ruan Tang felt as if every bone in her body was screaming, and a metallic taste rose in her throat.

Before she could even catch her breath, the light above her head vanished.

It wasn't nightfall.

The dark, ink-like clouds piled up in layers across the sky in a short instant, forcibly turning day into a pitch-black polar night.

An atmosphere of destruction filled every inch of space; the air became thick and heavy, pressing down on the lungs and making it hard to breathe.

The laws of the two worlds collided violently, triggering the most unreasonable cataclysmic lightning tribulation.

"Boom—!"

A colossal pillar of purple lightning roared and tore through the darkness, carrying a terrifying aura that threatened to wipe this mountain range off the map, as it crashed down upon them!

Yan Yu's reaction was incredibly fast.

He didn't even look at the lightning bolt; with a swift movement, he shielded Ruan Tang tightly beneath him.

Its towering body transformed into a mountain, fearlessly meeting the overwhelming pressure.

Lightning struck his back.

There were no screams.

There was only a dull thud as metal was struck by a massive hammer.

A dark metallic sheen instantly appeared on Yan Yu's back skin, and countless electric snakes slithered wildly across his body, yet could not penetrate any further.

He was thrown downwards by the impact, and the rocks beneath him cracked open like a spiderweb.

He was like an iron mountain that felt no pain, and withstood the first blow.

But this is just the beginning.

Ruan Tang, who was being protected beneath him, was deathly pale, but she had no time to feel sorry for him.

She quickly formed hand seals, and the spiritual power of her mutated water elemental root surged forth without reservation.

She forcibly extracted the thin moisture in the air, which gathered above her and Yan Yu's heads into rapidly spinning curtains of water.

Immediately afterwards, she slammed her other hand heavily on the ground.

Countless tenacious green vines broke through the soil, grew wildly, intertwined and entwined with the water curtain, and in the blink of an eye formed a huge living barrier made of water and wood.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The second, the third... the lightning struck one after another, each more ferocious and violent than the last.

Purple lightning lashed out at Yan Yu's back, sending up blinding golden sparks.

His armor, formed from his golden supernatural power, began to show fine cracks, and blood seeped out along the cracks, only to be instantly evaporated by the terrifying heat.

He remained motionless, simply holding the little girl in his arms even tighter, using his own flesh and blood to shield her from all the shock and heat.

More lightning bolts were blocked by the vine-covered water curtain laid out by Ruan Tang.

The lightning pierced through the water curtain, but was then tightly bound and diverted by the supple vines. The earth-shattering power was cleverly neutralized by the water-wood generating magic and channeled into the depths of the earth.

The rocks were cracking and the earth was trembling.

They were like a lone boat on a raging sea, at risk of being smashed to dust by the giant waves at any moment.

Yan Yu's breathing grew heavier and heavier, and blood trickled from the corner of Ruan Tang's mouth.

The jade pendants she gave them shattered into powder with a crisp "crack" during the third lightning tribulation, thus absorbing the fatal blow for them.

Now, they have to rely entirely on themselves to get through it.

After an unknown amount of time, when the tribulation clouds in the sky had become so thick that they seemed to drip ink, all the scattered lightning bolts disappeared.
