146 - Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem

Author: Liang Liang Meow Meow Hero The terrifying power... did not fully unleash? The power that should have severely injured him seemed to wane upon impact, as Luo Wusheng suddenly felt that it was not as fearsome as anticipated. It was much weaker than what he sensed initially. Yet, despite this, the force of the lightning still began to tear into the flesh of his arm. However, no sooner did his skin rip open than blood began to flow and weave together, showing signs of rapid recovery. Amidst this regeneration, Luo Wusheng discovered a peculiar phenomenon. He was actually absorbing the heavenly tribulation power contained within the lightning! At that moment, a light bulb went off in his mind, and he instantly grasped what was happening. (Could this effect be from refining the two and a half drops of special demon blood I took from Little Fox?) The refinement process described in the Blood Refining chapter was incredibly vague, and based on the stories of a headless Buddha master, Luo Wusheng had speculated that the effect post-refinement could enhance the physical body, akin to the practice in Xianxia novels where one sanctifies their body through physical cultivation. Truthfully, the ancient master seemed to have practiced that path indeed. However, it wasn't the Demon Blood Refinement method he used, but rather the Golden Body of the Buddhist path. As for the Demon Blood Refinement Method... it turns out that what is gained by refining demon blood is primarily the body's ability to recover. (Not only that...) Looking at his right arm, which was repeatedly torn and quickly healed, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but feel appreciative. Originally, he thought that refining the demon blood from the Demon Queen hadn't successfully bestowed any special effects. But from the current situation, it seemed he had indeed acquired these special abilities. Stronger than he had imagined. (Devouring Tribulation... although it seems to be a weakened version, the efficiency of converting and utilizing the power of heavenly tribulation is quite low...) Nevertheless, the boost in lightning resistance was tangible! This explained why the fearsome lightning tribulation striking him only managed to tear his arm's flesh, barely qualifying as a minor injury, easily healed by his enhanced regenerative ability. Not even needing to resort to spiritual power for resistance... Besides these discoveries, Luo Wusheng noted something else. The purple lightning twined around his arm but halted at the shoulder. As if it were afraid of something... Luo Wusheng knew well that there was merely a faint bite mark there... "Are you alright?" Little Fox's delayed voice transmission reached his ears. The frequency of lightning from the tribulation intensified, leaving the little creature no time to intervene, though seeing Luo Wusheng inexplicably holding up well eased some of her concerns. "Uh-huh... I'm... fine..." Luo Wusheng managed to send an electrified vocal response back. It was only then he realized that the tribulation lightning, though causing no substantial harm, had spread a tingling sensation throughout his body, even disrupting the flow of his spiritual power. His face had gone numb like a facial paralysis. Little Fox gave him a puzzling look, but once convinced he was truly fine, returned to her own business of devouring the tribulation under increasingly dense lightnings. Feeling the weakening energy on his right arm, Luo Wusheng slightly sensed the heavenly tribulation power now dwelling within, and found it a tad regrettable. Confirming the lightning tribulation couldn't significantly affect him, and considering his devouring tribulation ability from the special demon blood had seemingly improved, increasing his lightning resistance... his thoughts began to drift. He wished he could milk more of the Heavenly Tribulation... Better to quit while you're ahead, though; he shouldn't disrupt Little Fox's recovery plan. Besides, in his current state, where he couldn't move a muscle save for his eyeballs, he truly lacked any means to sneak in a few more lightning tribulations. But barely had the thought occurred when two streaks of purple lightning abruptly burst forth from the void... ...... Now, back to this very moment. All the rushing Nascent Soul great demons halted outside the tribulation clouds, watching the youth whose arms entwined with tribulation lightning like a deity of destruction, unable to hide the shock on their faces. Especially when they saw seven mysterious strands of purple lightning appearing from nowhere, each capable of gravely injuring a Nascent Soul cultivator, and every single one absorbed into the right arm of a certain Demon Sect Saint. Their hearts started pounding wildly. The infusion of those seven purple lightnings made the lightning on that right arm even more dazzling, occasionally sending fierce arcs across, producing explosive sounds as they pierced the air. Yet, it seemed to have no effect on the Demon Sect Saint. That expressionless face, with slightly lifted eyes, calmly gazed in their direction. The awe-inspiring aura emanating from the one bound by heavenly might made the present great demons hesitate to meet his gaze. This... this is the legendary Demon Sect Saint?! The great demons couldn't help but recall all the legendary records about him. This moment, where imagination meets reality, appeared even more outlandish than anticipated. "Gulp... The tribulation lightning wound around his hand could easily annihilate a common Nascent Soul, right?" "More than that! Even with my late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, I wouldn't dare claim I could so easily withstand this tribulation lightning with one hand like him! Is that Demon Sect Saint truly at Golden Core Perfection, and not Nascent Soul Perfection??" "The terrifying might he wielded in his hand prior already had me sweat with fear... Let alone now, witnessing such sudden emergence of seven lightnings, had I been in his situation, likely would spell doom for me!" "...Then, precisely what are these spontaneously appearing purple lightnings? I've never known of such enigmatic lightning in tribulations!" A statement that left all the great demons stunned. Indeed, this seemed to be their first encounter with such tribulation lightning... But before they could delve further into thought, the winds and clouds of the world began to tremble at this juncture. Endless tribulation lightning momentarily paused, even showing a hint of retreat. Under such scenery, a small fox with lightly red fur gently stepped forward. At that moment, the maddening thunders fell silent. The little fox's rear saw three tails, fully solidified, sway gently. First Chapter# Volume One# Chapter 217: The Little Fox's Resurgence (Second Part) Now, the scene shifted. As the little fox stood in the air and took a step forward, layers of falling tribulation lightning seemed stricken with immense dread, attempting desperately to recoil into the firmament. Yet it was already too late. Crack... Crack-crack... The silent step of the little fox shattered the seemingly endless tribulation lightning into countless fragments in an instant. This astonishing scene was witnessed by all present. The demons who had just arrived barely managed to avert their gaze from marveling at the Demon Sect Saint, turning their attention to their Demon Queen. A glint of exhilaration gleamed in the eyes of the great demons. The Demon Queen's three tails body had fully regenerated! Thus, the days of returning to the demon lands, with the queen reclaiming the throne among the demons, were near at hand! Some great demons, envisioning the bright future, had tears welling in their eyes, sparkling with excitement. Yet, even so, this was after enduring the shock delivered by that Demon Sect Saint... Had it not been for the previous stunning impact exhausting part of their emotional reserves, some great demons might have utterly lost composure at this moment. Meanwhile, the little fox surveyed the surroundings with her sparkling star-infused eyes, finally fixing her gaze on Luo Wusheng, who was still entwined with purple tribulation lightning. Her eyes twinkled subtly, thoughts unknown, as she lifted her previous step again. Fragmented lightning began slowly converging like streams. During the process, Little Fox glanced at the tribulation cloud aloft. Though the tribulation was incomplete, six-colored lightning still flickered faintly within... without making a sound, and the tribulation lightning showed no intent to descend. As if it shivered in fear, huddling within the cloud. Indifferently withdrawing her gaze, she directed her attention beyond the tribulation clouds. Seeing her trusted subordinates gathered, Little Fox seemed somewhat silent. Then, gently closed her eyes. At some point, a pill emitting a profound, thick aura and shimmering with rainbow light appeared beside her mouth. With a slight part of her mouth, the pill was swallowed. ...... Luo Wusheng's expression remained unperturbed, although his entire body was numb. The mysterious purple lightning had completed seven waves of assault. Each subsequent wave added one more. Each just when he'd absorbed about half of the previous wave's purple lightning. Honestly, he was apprehensive when the number of tribulation lightnings increased. Mainly worrying that his newly gained regenerative and devouring tribulation abilities wouldn't suffice in negating the damage from the tribulation lightings... However, it turned out that with the blessings of the true protagonist, his path was surprisingly smooth. With every absorbed wave, the devouring tribulation ability saw an uplift, inexplicably fostering his right arm to adeptly adjust to the lightning tribulations, to the extent where the pain transformed slightly into a gratifying sensation as numbness deepened. Ultimately, though the number of purple lightnings gradually increased, each fell just short of truly threatening the current Luo Wusheng. Instead, during this process, the heavenly tribulation power residing in his right arm grew more intense and concentrated... (At this rate, am I really going to end up with a Kirin arm?) Musing to himself, Luo Wusheng cast a calm gaze toward the horizon. Observing the heavenly tribulation cowering before the now three-tailed Little Fox, he felt a peculiar sensation. Why did it feel like the style of the tribulations he was facing was off? From a tribulation that exploded itself, to one that generously handed out benefits, now there's one shivering behind the clouds, too afraid to even make a sound. The heavenly tribulation must be truly exasperated by now. Critiquing silently, Luo Wusheng turned his attention to Little Fox. At this moment, Little Fox appeared as the faint red orb of light he first encountered at Ascension Lake. The orb gradually expanded to the size of a human, its momentum rising steeply, with such terror-inducing pressure that even the surrounding light seemed distorted. (The pill Little Fox just consumed should be the so-called Demon Emperor Pill previously mentioned... It seems she's truly poised to instantly reclaim her Nascent Soul stage?) (Thinking back, according to the original storyline, Little Fox was supposed to be rescued from Ascension Lake that night and return directly to the demon lands...) Yet, with his unexpected intervention, the actual events differed significantly. Luo Wusheng sighed inwardly. Perhaps today Little Fox will fully recover, and now that the demon ministers dispatched to the royal city appear to be gathered, it seems there might no longer be any reason for her to linger in human territories. (It seems a farewell is imminent...) Fortunately, he'd taken the opportunity to pet her in the past, or he might have ended up with lingering regrets, right? As Luo Wusheng pondered this, the glowing sphere that was Little Fox ceased its ascent. In that moment, time seemed to pause. Everything in heaven and earth turned silent, with nothing changing; only the human-sized orb slowly transformed into a cascade of fireflies, revealing an otherworldly figure of transcendent beauty beneath. At this moment, the Demon Queen had reverted to her human form. Yet now, she was adorned in attire far from ordinary. Her light red fur had transformed into a majestic cloak draped over her shoulders; her dress radiated unparalleled elegance. Her hair remained silky smooth, her face picture-perfect, with three red marks gracing her brow, now carrying a newfound sense of regal dignity.
