Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1446 Liu Qingying's Fall

Just one month after Yang Qingxue successfully overcame her tribulation, on a dark night, his wife Liu Qingying also faced her tribulation.

However, since it was late at night, Liu Changxu was playing with his wives in the Bichi Hall of the Ruyi Lotus Palace and did not notice the changes in the celestial phenomena outside.

Therefore, when Liu Qingying appeared on the summit of Mount Ling, preparing to face the tribulation, she did not find her husband coming to protect her, which made her feel somewhat disappointed.

Soon, a thick bolt of silver divine lightning tore through the heavy night sky, like a giant axe imbued with destructive power, accompanied by a deafening roar, and hurtled towards Liu Qingying atop Mount Ling.

Faced with the impending terrifying tribulation lightning, Liu Qingying had no time to think about why her husband hadn't arrived; her mind was entirely focused on the heavenly tribulation before her.

Her eyes sharpened, and her magical power surged suddenly. A silver tribulation-crossing bead flew out from her sleeve, unfolded in the air, and shone brightly. In an instant, it transformed into a huge silver planet, hovering above her head, like an indestructible barrier protecting her.

"Boom——!"

A deafening roar echoed through the night sky as the thick, silver divine lightning bolt, carrying destructive force, slammed into the silver planet. In an instant, the lightning and fire exploded, transforming into a surging sea of ​​silver lightning that completely engulfed the Tribulation Pearl and Liu Qingying below.

Within the sea of ​​lightning, countless electric snakes danced and darted wildly, constantly impacting the planet's light barrier, emitting sharp "sizzling" sounds, and even distorting the surrounding air with heat.

Liu Qingying stood beneath the sea of ​​lightning, her face as calm as an ancient well. The speed at which her hands formed hand seals did not diminish in the slightest. Her inner power surged into the silver planet like a torrent, supporting the light barrier to resist the ravages of the lightning tribulation. She could clearly feel the tremors brought by each impact, yet she remained steadfast in her mind, without wavering in the slightest.

The silver sea of ​​lightning arrived swiftly and dissipated just as quickly. As the lightning and fire subsided, Liu Qingying looked up and was pleasantly surprised to find a familiar figure gazing at her from the summit of Mount Ling not far away—it was her husband, Liu Changxu.

After receiving the report from the artifact spirit Xiao Gong, Liu Changxu stopped fighting with his wife Murong Yuyao, quickly dressed, and rushed over.

When he landed on a nearby hilltop, he saw his wife, Liu Qingying, standing safely atop the sacred mountain. Although her hair was slightly disheveled, her breathing was relatively steady, indicating that she had not suffered any serious injuries. Only then did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settle down.

He immediately transmitted his voice, saying:
"Qingying, just focus on your tribulation, I will protect you!"

"Don't worry, my husband!"

Upon receiving her husband's telepathic message, Liu Qingying felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and most of her previous tension dissipated. She immediately responded loudly:
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the thunderclouds in the sky exploded again. The second bolt of lightning was even thicker than the first, tearing through the darkness with blinding silver light, illuminating the entire sky, and crashing down with even more terrifying heavenly might.

Liu Qingying dared not be negligent. She quickly changed the hand seals at her fingertips and fully activated the Tribulation Pearl above her head to meet the terrifying tribulation lightning that was about to fall.

"Bam—!"

The tribulation lightning collided violently with the silver planet formed by the Tribulation Pearl once more, and a deafening roar shook the heavens. The exploding lightning and fire surged like a raging torrent, instantly transforming into an even more turbulent silver sea of ​​lightning, completely engulfing the entire planet and Liu Qingying below.

Within the sea of ​​lightning, silver electric snakes darted about wildly like living creatures, violently impacting the surface of the silver planet and emitting a sharp "sizzling" sound!

Liu Qingying stood beneath the silver planet, her face slightly pale. Her internal energy was draining away like water, but her eyes remained sharp, and the speed at which her hands formed hand seals did not diminish. She could clearly sense that the power of this second tribulation lightning was at least ten percent stronger than the first, and the defense of the Tribulation Pearl had begun to show subtle fluctuations. In the distance, Liu Changxu stared intently at his wife, who was engulfed by the sea of ​​lightning, a strong sense of foreboding suddenly rising in his heart, making his heart tighten.

He could clearly sense that the tribulation lightning that Liu Qingying encountered was unusually violent, and its power was several times stronger than the tribulation lightning that Yang Qingxue experienced. Each bolt of lightning that fell was accompanied by a terrifying power that could destroy the world, and its power was obviously far beyond the intensity of ordinary tribulation lightning.

Soon, the churning sea of ​​lightning receded like a tide, revealing a silver planet slightly dimmed by the scorching lightning, and Liu Qingying below, her breathing slightly rapid.

Sweat mixed with a few drops of blood trickled down her forehead, her tightly pursed lips were pale, yet she still looked up at the thick thunderclouds gathering again in the sky, her gaze even more solemn. She knew better than anyone that the previous confrontation was just the prelude, and the real test that would determine life and death had only just begun.

"Boom - boom -"

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be completely enraged, and bolts of lightning, each thicker than the last, followed one after another. Purple, gold, black... all kinds of lightning flashed and roared in turn, and the exploding lightning and fire engulfed Liu Qingying and the silver planet like a raging torrent. Each collision made the earth tremble.

Liu Qingying gritted her teeth and poured all her magical power into the Tribulation Pearl. Under her control, the silver planet flickered, sometimes bursting forth with brilliant light to resist the lightning tribulation, and sometimes being suppressed by the lightning to the point of almost shrinking into a ball.

Her breath weakened at a visible rate, and her face grew paler, but her hands, which were holding the hand seal, remained steady and never relaxed for a moment—she knew that if she lost her strength at this moment, it would be the end of her life.

Liu Changxu watched from afar, his heart pounding with fear, his knuckles turning white from the strain. He desperately suppressed the urge to rush forward, his eyes fixed on the figure stubbornly holding on amidst the sea of ​​lightning, his mind filled with only one thought: Hold on a little longer, just a little longer...

However, the power and strangeness of this tribulation far exceeded the power of a typical tribulation during a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, Liu Qingying's overall strength was insufficient, and her mental cultivation was not as calm and resilient as Yang Qingxue's.

Under the relentless and terrifying bombardment of lightning, her mind gradually crumbled. Illusions began to fester in her mind, gradually disturbing her tranquility.

The silver planet trembled more and more violently, and the magic power poured into it began to stagnate. Her vision blurred, and for the first time, her hand holding the hand seal trembled slightly.

"Qingying! Guard your mind!"

Liu Changxu noticed her wavering from afar and couldn't help but call out. His voice pierced through the thunderstorm, carrying a calming power.

This shout was like a clear spring, temporarily dispelling the fog in Liu Qingying's mind. She shook her head violently, biting her tongue; the sharp pain instantly brought her to her senses. She quickly gathered her thoughts and poured her magic power into the Tribulation Pearl once more. Although the silver light barrier barely held steady, it was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks, clearly having reached its limit.

The thunderclouds in the sky churned more and more wildly, and a bolt of tribulation lightning crackled with crimson lightning crashed down, instantly knocking the Tribulation Pearl away. The exploding lightning and fire instantly engulfed Liu Qingying.

As the lightning and fire dissipated, Liu Qingying's figure, already lying on the ground, was quickly revealed. With just one strike, Liu Qingying had suffered severe injuries and completely lost the ability to resist.

However, Liu Qingying still needs to pass through seven tribulation lightning trials, and in this state, Liu Qingying has completely lost hope of successfully passing the tribulation.

In the end, Liu Qingying still perished in the lightning tribulation.
