Chapter 136: Chapter 136 - Elder Bai's thunder tribulation!
But after she withdrew herself to the extreme north to create her sect \'Immortal Ice Palace\', she never appeared infront of the world again except for when the large war happened a million years ago.
On that day, the extreme north seemed to be particularly harsh in it\'s snow storms and the temperature was also much more closer than usual.
Ice Elder happened to recieve the news of the secret realm from one of her elders in the \'Immortal Ice Palace\' and went to check the secret realm to see if there was anything valuable or if the place could be used as a training ground for the disciples of her sect.
But just when she wanted to go in the general direction of the secret realm, she suddenly sensed the huge thunder tribulation that one only encounters when passing through the bottleneck to finally become a true tribulation realm expert!
She was a bit confused as to which fool dared to break through this crucial tribulation thunder in such a place.
But she had no time to think about anything and immediately went towards the place where the tribulation thunder was still striking that seemingly petite woman clad in a black robe.
The woman seemed to be struggling as she threw one after another extremely rare defensive treasures but all of them were completely shattered by the might of the thunder tribulation.
Ice Elder just watched the woman getting completely destroyed by the thunders one after another.
After the 50 th thunder, the woman\'s right hand completely blew up into a bloody mess and even the blood was completely burnt into black patches.
After the 70 th lightning, her right hand was also gone into nothingness by the sheer power of the heavenly lightnings. Not even blood flew out as it was completely evaporated by the power of the thunder.
After the 98th thunder, her two legs finally couldn\'t hold on and immediately burst out into a bloody mess. Black burnt patches of flesh and bones flew out everywhere.
The place where the woman stood now didn\'t have the heavy snow piled up like before but instead the cold hard ground could be seen which has further been blasted into a huge crater with and the whole place looked extremely grueling.
After the 98th thunder, the woman already seemed to be on the verge of death as the breath of life on her body was too weak.
Ice Elder could only watch helplessly without any way to help her because nobody can interfere with the thunder tribulation for the tribulation realm.
And at this point, the Ice Elder was sure that the woman would fail in passing the thunder tribulation and will not live past this.
But suddenly, the woman whose hands and feet were gone, whose whole body was burnt black with patches of black dried up skin falling off of her body, but the Ice Elder was deeply attracted by her pair of eyes which seemed to have a never ending fire in them.
Ice Elder saw with her own eyes and felt with her own heart, the burning desire to survive, the resolute determination to never give up even in the face of death, her pair of eyes seemed to be shining with a silver light, glistening like the stars in the sky and Elder Ice couldn\'t help but feel herself mesmerized by her.
At this point, the woman suddenly floated up and the resolute eyes looked towards the last and 99th Thunder which was brewing in the sky with a fearless look in her eyes.
The woman\'s whole body seemed to be glowing with a golden light as a mass of black spiritual energy covered her entire body, just like a shadow, making her almost indistinguishable from the darkness all around her.
But the golden glow on her body still broke through the cover of black and made her seem almost blinding in this cold world of blue and white.
At this point, her entire body and spirit exuded an almost overbearing momentum as the black shadow like spiritual energy rushed towards the thunder cloud brewing in the sky as if it wanted to defy the heavens itself.
And in that exact moment, the 99th thunder fell toward her. The black shadow like spiritual energy was like a sharp sword and at the same time, like a tough shield constantly protecting the woman but the strength of the lightning was too strong.
The black shadow like energy continued to fight against it and for a moment it seemed like, it may really win! But alas, the heavenly lightnings aren\'t that easy to defeat at her current state and the black energy was slowly getting disintegrated into nothingness and it would probably take a few minutes at most before the lightning will fall onto her and her death will be inevitable.
A Cultivator\'s life is just like this. They constantly trying to go against the heavens and try to break through the shackles of the world and fly to a higher plane, to a place where they could achieve more.
But their life is also like a candle. It takes one single puff of air for it to be extinguished. Yet these people never fear death and continue moving forward because that is the only way, they could call themselves a worthy Cultivator.
But at that instant when the lightning was just a few seconds away from falling on the woman, Ice Elder made a move.
She waved her hand as her cold, blue spiritual energy rushed towards the woman as she immediately flashed right infront of her and stood in place to stop the overbearing momentum of the lightning.
Her cold, blue spiritual energy enveloped the whole body of the woman making her shiver unconsciously but strange energy brought immeasurable comfort to her.
Elder Ice stretched out her hand and immediately blocked the lightning from falling onto the woman and extremely overbearing and tyrannical lightning struck onto the palm of her hands, immediately shattering the protective barrier against it!
But the protective barrier of a tribulation realm master was obviously far stronger and worked really well in slowing down its moment but the rest still struck onto her naked arm!
Ice elder immediately felt immeasurable pain but her facial expressions didn\'t change much as her cold eyes didn\'t even bother to glance at her hand or the lightning as her entire attention was on the woman behind her.
The lightning made a crack on the palm of her hand and a violent eruption went off from them as the center but the lightning which has already been reduced to less than half of its energy by the woman behind her didn\'t pose much threat towards her and was easily shattered.
After the 99th lightning was completed, the originally dark sky suddenly brightened as the sun which was rarely seen in the extreme north shone down on them with a warm light.
The woman whose consciousness was already blurred only saw the cold and slender back of the woman and then her cold blue eyes came into her view when she turned around to face her.
Her immaculate jade like face which seemed whiter than the snow itself, her sharp eyebrows which seemed to always give others a bone chilling coldness and her cold blue eyes, all of it together made the woman whose consciousness was already going out feel as if she had been saved by a fairy and couldn\'t help but exclaim with pure admiration,
"Soo pretty!!"
Hearing the horse and broken voice of the woman, Ice Elder paused for a moment before she heard the contents of her words and couldn\'t help but feel a little stunned.
Her face didn\'t seem to have much expression but the crimson tips of her ears revealed her emotions.
In all her life, she has been called beautiful and a fairy like beauty a lot by thousands of people but she could clearly distinguish that their words were nothing but blatant flattery to create connections with her.
But this is the first time, she has heard such an innocent and pure complement from someone.
At that moment, the Ice Elder wanted to say something but saw that woman had already called unconscious.
She immediately bent down to check her body and was relieved to find the the vigorously beating heartbeat as well as the blessings of the heavens flowing through her body and repairing it little by little.
She also found out that the woman seemed to have broken through to the tribulation realm!!
