The Cannon Fodder in Quick Transmigration Refuses the Usual Path

Chapter 520: The Cannon Fodder Biological Mother of the Son of Fortune 34

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, as An Ning and Xiao Yi consecutively weathered their tribulations and achieved breakthroughs, it was as if all gloom had been dispelled in an instant. The entire sky cleared up for thousands of miles, radiant and bright.

In the unseen workings of fate, it seemed to herald the true awakening of this realm's Heavenly Dao at this very moment.

Including Nangong Ding, many powerful cultivators vaguely sensed something.

This... does this mean breakthroughs are possible now?

Although they were beaten to the punch by two youngsters, this was a breakthrough after all!!!!! Immense joy instantly overwhelmed the crowd.

However, before the crowd could even digest this rare opportunity amidst their great delight, the third breakthrough in this realm soon appeared.

Indeed, it was undoubtedly Nangong Ding, whom everyone feared.

Yet, compared to the relatively smooth process of the two who broke through earlier, the scene unfolding before them now was far more perilous.

Looking at the continuous, thick bolts of thunder, each as wide as a bowl's mouth, everyone watching, including the followers of the Xuanming Sect, couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

Secretly estimating in their hearts, if such a thunderbolt were to truly strike them...Just thinking about it made them shake their heads frantically.

Even the most insincere among them had enough self-awareness to know that against a tribulation of this magnitude, forget dozens of strikes, they probably couldn't withstand even three, or perhaps not even one.

Even Xiao Yi, watching from the side, was stunned for a moment:

"Ah, so the Lightning Tribulation is this terrifying?"

Thinking about himself, and his aunt just now...

Although theirs was quite powerful too, but...

"It doesn't seem like a big deal!"

Eagerly presenting the freshly brewed spirit dew to his aunt beside him, the red-robed youth couldn't help but scratch his head, his handsome little face full of confusion and incomprehension.

The crowd who vaguely heard something: "………"

"!!!"

An Ning couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, raising her hand to give a firm tap on the other's forehead.

She thought to herself, isn't this stating the obvious? Not to mention that nearly ninety percent of the "world-saving" merit from this event was split between the two of them. Just with the enhancement of her elixirs, the strength of their meridians and their physical constitutions were simply not something ordinary cultivators could compare to.

Hmph, this brat doesn't know how lucky he is!

As for why these sects contributed money and effort, yet the merit ultimately landed on the two of them?

Hey, who let this generation's Heavenly Dao be too weak before? It only recovered a bit of its strength by the time the grand formation took effect, so where would it waste energy tracing things back to their source?

Just ask, weren't the formation, even the spiritual materials, personally handled by the two of them? Even the formation foundation stones that needed spiritual energy infusion were personally inscribed by An Ning and Xiao Yi after these people finished channeling their energy.

The final seal was also a joint effort by the two.

As for whether there was any intentional component on her part? Ahem... the result is what matters most, isn't it?

Just ask, was the sealing formation useful? Did the Heavenly Dao awaken?

Sitting on the spirit boat her little nephew had recently refined, savoring the freshly made spirit fruit dew, An Ning found herself thinking with rare pleasure.

The system: "..."

One can only say it's fortunate that this realm's cultivation levels have stagnated for too long. Whether it's the Heavenly Dao or merit, these people still don't understand these concepts, otherwise they'd probably be collectively spitting up three liters of blood right now!

So all their hard work was just to prepare a dowry for someone else?

Glancing at his little aunt, who was clearly in a good mood, Xiao Yi, vaguely sensing something, couldn't help but chuckle. He casually grabbed another fruit and sat back down in his original spot.

At this moment, the heart-stopping Lightning Tribulation continued in mid-air, growing increasingly terrifying as time passed. Eventually, even the system couldn't help but wonder:

"Ah, this... this villainous father won't end up not dying from Qi Deviation, but instead get obliterated by lightning, will he?"

"That probably won't happen!" Watching this scene, An Ning on the spirit boat calmly took a sip of clear tea:

"Nangong Ding originally possesses a Heavenly Thunder Spirit Root. Not to mention his profound strength, over these years, in his quest for a breakthrough opportunity, he has practically never stopped frantically using thunder and lightning power to temper his body. To be honest, in terms of meridian strength, he's not much inferior to me or A-Yi."

The Lightning Tribulation is indeed powerful, but serious injury is possible. Failure, however, An Ning doesn't think so.

Yet, unbeknownst to her, the very second after An Ning spoke, they saw that within the thunder and lightning, the man suddenly gripped his longsword. His entire person, along with the massive thunder blade in his hand, charged straight towards the incoming colossal thunderbolt. His dark purple robe fluttered violently in the air.

The moment the two forces of lightning collided, a brilliant purple light erupted instantly. Under the immense energy, many spectators immediately tasted sweetness in their throats!

Even An Ning and Xiao Yi on the spirit boat were stunned for a moment at this moment!

Looking out, amidst this near-explosive energy, one could seemingly still see the man's expression, clearly one of exhilaration!

At this, even An Ning couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

Wow, this guy is a real ruthless character...

Fortunately, the final result was indeed within An Ning's expectations. In short, amidst the infinite bewilderment and heart-pounding fear of the watching crowd...

Several hours later, after the thunder and lightning, the spiritual rain finally descended...

However, no one was in a joyful mood at this moment, because they all knew this was merely the beginning.

After all, they weren't that Demonic Sect leader. They didn't know what sinister cultivation method he practiced, but he was simply... formidable to such an extent!

Forget fifty percent, they probably couldn't pass even thirty percent of such a tribulation. Holding such thoughts, even the Xie Family, before returning, specially spent a large amount of spiritual treasures to purchase several bottles of top-grade spirit pills from An Ning...

The facts proved that the Xie Family's preparations were quite useful.

Under the Heavenly Tribulation, the saying "not one in ten survives" was no joke.

For a time, including the Xuanming Sect, many sect elders and even sect leaders perished. Counting them up, those who truly passed the Lightning Tribulation numbered less than one-tenth. Most died on the spot, while a small portion even saw their cultivation regress instead of advance.

Even the Xie Family, with the aid of An Ning's pills, only fared slightly better.

But even so, among this generation, the only one who smoothly passed through without damaging his foundation was merely Xie Xuan.

In short, in less than a year, everyone went from the pleasant surprise of leveling up to their current state of anxious unease...

Each family had hung funeral banners more than once.

"How many wicked deeds did they do?!" This situation is just too tragic, even the secretly spectating system couldn't help but click its tongue!

Watching this scene, An Ning, however, seemed thoughtful. Xiao Yi beside her also understood something:

"Aunt, it seems what you said before, that the Heavenly Dao's energy hasn't fully returned, might not be impossible after all..."

"What's happening now doesn't seem like a pure Lightning Tribulation, instead... it's more like..."

Xiao Yi's expression was rarely grave. An Ning smiled beside him and said,

"More like a cleansing, or perhaps making the cultivators' energy return, or rather, giving back to heaven and earth! Right?"
