Chapter 212 The Heavenly Tribulation (3) [18+]
"What is that?" June asked as the lightning python made its appearance. Its head alone was two meters long and wide. When it emerged halfway through the cloud, its length stretched a whopping 100 meters.
"I think that is the third lightning tribulation coupled with Heavenly Punishment," Master Artemis said, gazing at the terrifying lightning python slowly descending from the heavens.
"Are they going to be alright?" Mei Lin asked, worry etching her beautiful face. She and June held onto each other as they watched the terrifying lightning behemoth descend.
"We have to trust them and hope for the best," Sect Master Xu said, but even though he was trying to put on a brave face, panic still flickered in his eyes.
"This last tribulation contains 70% Destructive Will. It seems the heavens didn't appreciate Karsha interfering in Lady Yi Ran's tribulation," Master Artemis said. With a long sigh, he focused on the mountain and silently prayed for Karsha's safety.
Back on the mountain, Karsha formed more seals to reinforce the yin-yang diagram. Although the sword could swallow the lightning, he felt the red gaze fixed on him and Lady Yi Ran. While it would be a one-time punishment for her, Karsha would have to endure it forever. He wasn't complaining; although the situation looked terrifying, he could handle it without raising any defenses.
His main worry was for Lady Yi Ran, who was now shaking with fear. If only she had her full strength back, she could have contributed to withstanding the punishment. However, the venom had done more damage to her body than Karsha had assumed. Her bones and meridians were weakened, so she wouldn't be able to channel enough spiritual energy to raise a defense against the lightning.
Karsha also wouldn't be able to stand up and fight back. He had to maintain the diagram so the sword could absorb the lightning. If he started using his sword, the process would stop, which would be detrimental to Lady Yi Ran. The only skill he could use was his summoning skill.
"Lady Yi Ran, come closer." Karsha didn't have time to explain anything, so he could only bet his chances on his Phoenix and hope for the best.
"Hug me and, no matter what, don't let go." Karsha knew he was in for two different battles, but since one was more pleasant than the other, he could only try to control himself to the best of his abilities.
Lady Yi Ran looked down at Karsha's iron rod and gulped. But with the devastation looming above her, she quickly moved and hugged Karsha, wrapping her arms tightly around his body.
"Mmmh." A suppressed moan escaped the mouths of both Karsha and Lady Yi Ran when his iron rod rubbed against her pink river.
"I really am sorry, Lady Yi Ran. I just don't have enough self-control in this field," Karsha immediately apologized.
"Don't worry, Karsha; it's only natural for someone your age to be this active. You don't have to apologize for anything. I would have been disappointed if you didn't show any reaction to being this close to me. It seems I still have my charm," Lady Yi Ran said with a slight smile.
Karsha's heart raced twice: once for the danger ahead and again for his dragon slowly regaining its power. He could feel Lady Yi Ran's body shake whenever blood pumped into him, causing his member to stir.
'I am fucked,' Karsha sighed, deciding to free himself from overthinking and focus on preserving their lives. His dragon finally broke free and raised its head. Lady Yi Ran's body trembled when Karsha's hard shaft brushed against her. He noticed her breath quickening but didn't pay much attention to it.
He formed a seal, making the yin-yang diagram rise a few meters. Then, he activated the [Titan Fortress], enveloping the two of them. All of this happened within five seconds, but the 240-meter-long lightning python finally revealed its full form during that brief moment.
"Whatever happens, don't let go," Karsha said. Lady Yi Ran tightened her grip on him. For some unknown reason, Karsha smiled; he could tell the woman was not taking any chances at that moment. Like him, she was also fighting her own battles.
ROAR!
A loud roar erupted from the mouth of the lightning python as it charged at Karsha and Lady Yi Ran. The sword emitted a humming buzz, and they began to spin. Karsha pumped his mana into his Agni Infernal Dominion skill, and at once, a colossal flame phoenix soared into the sky, charging at the lightning python.
"Get in! We have to move back!" Sect Master Xu shouted, making everyone jump into the flying boat. Within seconds, they were miles away, only stopping when they had distanced themselves by another three miles.
BOOM!
The lightning python clashed with the flame phoenix, instantly obliterating it. A massive shockwave burst forth, sweeping over the entire mountain and traveling several miles, even pushing the flying boat back a couple of kilometers.
Whoosh!
The spinning sword attacked instantly, piercing the body of the python. Although the phoenix couldn't destroy it, it weakened the creature enough for the sword to break through its defenses and enter its body.
It immediately began swallowing the runes that formed the creature. Within a second, the 240-meter-long snake was reduced to 50 meters and continued to shrink.
Bang!
A red beam shot from the eyes of the dying python, striking the dome of the fortress. Inside the fortress, Karsha gritted his teeth and tightly held on to Lady Yi Ran, who instantly bit his shoulder, tears flowing from her eyes. The pain she was in was just too much for her. She used to be powerful—powerful enough to confront a Tier 9 Dark Mutant and kill it.
But now, she couldn't even endure a mere tribulation of lightning on her own; she had to rely on someone else to get through it. Worst of all, because of her, Karsha would have to face great difficulty whenever he broke through in the future.
She knew how dangerous 30% Destructive Will was. For Karsha to invoke 70% Destructive Will punishment on himself just to help her made her heartache for him.
"My expensive clothes wouldn't have lasted even a second," Karsha gritted his teeth as he continued to endure the pain in both his skin and within his body.
"Lady Yi Ran, release the rest of the energy inside your body and refine the red lightning." Although the sword managed to devour the tribulation lightning, the Heavenly Tribulation Punishment wasn't consumed, so Karsha had to use his body as a power bank to store the energy and slowly transmit it to Lady Yi Ran.
He couldn't refine all of it since it was more than he could take, so Lady Yi Ran would have to tap in. Thankfully, the egg was also slowly devouring it, so the load wasn't taking too much of a toll on his body. Lady Yi Ran would have to refine her own portion.
"Lady Yi Ran, you have to refine the lightning before it overwhelms both our bodies and kills us," Karsha said again when he noticed she wasn't making any move to start refining.
'What is happening?' Because they were hugging, so he couldn't see her expression. It seemed she had given up and was only crying due to her inability to do anything. Although it might seem childish, she was going through a lot of trauma, so her mind was not stable at the moment.
'What should I do?' Karsha knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what to do. The energy had begun entering her body, and if she didn't start refining, the chances of both of them dying were very high.
"Lady Yi Ran, listen to me. None of this is your fault. I chose to help you, so if you feel guilty about anything, stop. If I had to make the same decision again, I wouldn't even hesitate.
So if you don't want to feel guilty in the afterlife, I advise you to start refining the lightning. It will heal your body and strengthen your bones. You wouldn't want to become this helpless again, would you?" Karsha said, rubbing her back slowly. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
He was reaching his breaking point, and the only thing that could save both of them was if Lady Yi Ran snapped back from her reverie and started refining the lightning.
'Oh, come on. I should have listened to my mom and learned how to console women.' Karsha cursed himself for lacking charm when it came to comforting women.
'Forgive me, Lady Yi Ran, but I have to do this.' Karsha sighed, and then, without holding back, he extended his hand and grabbed Lady Yi Ran's round buttocks, kneading them gently.
"Mmmh." A moan instantly escaped Lady Yi Ran's mouth as she felt the sensation wash over her body.
"Please refine the lightning by releasing the rest of the venom energy," Karsha pleaded, his vision starting to blur.
"I am sorry, Karsha." Seeing him almost lose consciousness made Lady Yi Ran's heart race. In one powerful surge, she released all her energy, blasting away the energy that had entered the fortress. Her cultivation base instantly shot from Level 1 to Level 4.
"Mmmh." Another moan escaped her lips as Karsha continued to knead her butt. At this point, he was completely lost in thought, his hands moving on their own. He didn't know when it happened, but he felt an urge to never stop, so he kept going.
The sword also descended and entered his soul sea. With Lady Yi Ran now refining the red lightning and the egg devouring it too, Karsha began to feel the load on his body lessen slowly.
"Mmmh." This time, the moan was louder than the previous ones. Karsha's hands moved to grab Lady Yi Ran's butt and pull her toward him, his long shaft rubbing against her now wet pussy.
"Aaahh!" A loud moan escaped her lips, prompting Karsha to snap back to his senses. However, just as he was about to let go, a soft hand grabbed onto his dick, and a gentle tone entered his ears,
"Karsha, please take me."
"Gulp."
