Chapter 615: Against the Heaven's Will
Above the sky, the Thunder Tribulation Platform was like a judgment place of annihilation, suspended in the clouds. As the clouds rolled, hundreds of floating platforms engraved with Dao patterns appeared and disappeared from time to time, and each pattern seemed to tell the majesty of the heaven. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stepped onto the floating platform that decided life and death hand in hand. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind howled, as if the whole world was trembling for this battle against the heaven.
Yun Yao was dressed in a white dress as white as snow, her sleeves fluttering, her long black hair dancing in the wind, her beautiful eyes revealing fearlessness and determination. In her palm, the Jiehuo Sword was humming and vibrating, the flames on the sword body leaping, as if echoing the owner's agitated mood. Chu Mochen, who was beside her, was as tall and straight as a pine tree, the cold light of the Xuanbing Blade was gleaming, the runes on the blade were flashing, and it exuded a bone-chilling chill. The black robe was torn by the strong wind, but it made him look even more cold and stern.
As soon as it landed, the purple thunder in the sky roared like an angry dragon, carrying the majestic pressure of "Heaven's Judgment", and it struck down with a bang. The purple thunder was as thick as a bucket, and wherever it passed, the air was ionized, emitting a pungent smell of burning, as if it wanted to instantly annihilate everything that went against the Heaven's Way.
Chu Mochen's eyes condensed, and he protected Yun Yao behind him without hesitation, shouting, "Be careful!" Then he activated the Xuanbing Spiritual Vein, and the cold air around him condensed into an ice-blue shield in front of him. The purple lightning hit the shield fiercely, and ice chips flew in an instant, and the shield had cracks. The huge impact force made Chu Mochen kneel on his knees, but he gritted his teeth and did not retreat a single step.
"Puff!" He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the black robe in front of him red, but his eyes were still as firm as iron. "Back then, you were poisoned by Liu Yan'er in the palace, and I secretly tested the poison for you; later, you were framed in the sect, and I took three 'Burning Heart Palms' for you... Now, it's time for me to take your place again." His voice was low and firm, revealing an unquestionable determination, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yun Yao's heart.
Yun Yao looked at his bloodstained back, her eyes reddened, and the past scenes of sharing life and death flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. In the palace, she had just arrived and suffered from bullying, and it was Chu Mochen who secretly protected her time and time again; in the sect, facing conspiracy and frame-up, it was he who stood up and took it all for her. And now, under this fatal twin calamity, he has to bear the wrath of heaven alone.
“No!” Yun Yao pushed him away violently, her fingertips shining with light, and she concentrated all her strength to condense the fire of catastrophe, “This time, we will fight together.” The flames suddenly surged and enveloped her whole body, like a god of war bathed in fire.
Purple lightning struck down mercilessly one after another, and the Dao patterns on the floating platform were impacted and flickered, as if wailing. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back, tightly attached to each other, one controlling the calamity fire, the other operating the mysterious ice, ice and fire intertwined, and fought desperately against the purple lightning.
Every time the purple lightning struck, Yun Yao felt her soul being hit hard, and the Jiehuo Sword trembled violently in her hand, as if it would slip out of her hand the next moment. The same was true for Chu Mochen, the coldness on the Xuanbing Knife was constantly being worn away by the purple lightning, and every inch of his skin seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, with blood oozing out from the corners of his mouth.
But their eyes were as sharp as torches, and they had no intention of retreating. Yun Yao blocked the purple thunder while shouting, "Chu Mochen, do you remember when we first met? You were outside the palace, like a god descending from heaven, blocking that hidden arrow for me. From that time on, I knew that I would be tied to you for the rest of my life."
Chu Mochen raised a faint smile, and even though it was stained with blood, it was still gentle: "I remember that day when I saw you being humiliated, I was filled with indignation, and I just wanted to protect you. Afterwards, everything made me more certain that even if I had to be the enemy of Heaven, I would never let go."
As he spoke, the seventh purple thunder came crashing down, thicker and more ferocious than the previous ones, carrying the momentum of destroying the world. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and at the same time raised their spiritual power to the peak, merging the calamity fire and the mysterious ice, turning into a gorgeous light shield, facing the purple thunder.
"Boom!" The light shield collided with the purple thunder, making a deafening sound, and the light instantly drowned everything. The floating platform shook violently, and the light of the Dao pattern dimmed. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were blown away by the powerful impact and fell heavily to the ground, ragged and covered with scars.
However, before they could catch their breath, the eighth purple thunder was ready to go, lightning flashed in the clouds, and the whole world was dyed purple. This purple thunder actually condensed into the shape of a thunder dragon, with its fangs and claws bared, ferocious and terrifying, obviously a fatal blow from the way of heaven.
"Yao'er, don't be afraid!" Chu Mochen struggled to get up, his body staggering, but he forced himself to stay steady. He raised the Xuanbing Knife high, and the Xuanbing Spiritual Veins in his body were running wildly. The ice-blue light shot straight into the sky, trying to attract the Thunder Dragon's attack.
How could Yun Yao let him take the risk alone? She shouted, and the Fire Sword flew out of her hand, transforming into a huge flaming sword shadow, confronting the Thunder Dragon head-on. At the same time, she flashed and teleported to Chu Mochen's side, forming seals with her hands, and injected magic formulas into the Fire Sword one after another to enhance its power.
The Thunder Dragon and the Flame Sword Shadow collided violently, sparks flew everywhere, lightning flashed wildly, the power of the purple thunder and the calamity fire tore each other apart, and the entire Thunder Tribulation Platform fell into chaos. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gritted their teeth, veins on their foreheads bulged, and they supported themselves with all their strength, sweat mixed with blood running down their cheeks.
At the crucial moment of this life-and-death contest, Yun Yao suddenly had an idea. She looked at Chu Mochen and shouted, "Chen, merge your power with mine!" Chu Mochen understood and held Yun Yao's hand without hesitation. Their palms faced each other, and their spiritual veins resonated instantly.
In an instant, the Fire Sword and the Ice Knife shone brightly, touching each other in mid-air, and slowly merged into a "Heaven-Defying Sword" that shone with gold and silver. Runes flowed on the sword, and the gold and silver lights intertwined, as if containing the power to create the world. An incomparably powerful aura spread out from the sword to the surroundings.
“With my soul, Yun Yao, I will defy this destiny!” Yun Yao’s eyes burned with ardent fighting spirit, her long hair flying, like a burning goddess.
"With my soul, Chu Mochen, I will protect her eternal life!" Chu Mochen was also full of passion, his powerful voice resounded through the sky, revealing his determination to fight to the death.
The two of them shouted at the same time, and together they grasped the sword against the sky, and slashed at the ninth purple lightning, which was also the strongest attack of the twin calamities.
The sword light was like a rainbow, and the moment it split the thunder tribulation, the system interface in Yun Yao's sea of consciousness suddenly shattered, making a crisp "crackling" sound, and the light fragments flew everywhere. Then, a soft golden light bloomed from behind the fragments, revealing the real "Heavenly Way Questioning Heart System" behind it - that was the tribulation trial field that her mother had built for her with the residual soul as a guide.
Yun Yao stared at the mysterious system with wide eyes, and she was filled with endless shock and realization. It turned out that for so many years, the so-called system was just a growth path paved for her by her mother. Every task and every crisis was a carefully designed test. And now, she finally broke through the hardships and touched a corner of the truth.
At this moment, the light on the Thunder Tribulation Stage gradually faded, the purple thunder dissipated, the strong wind stopped, the clouds slowly dispersed, and the sunlight penetrated the clouds, shining on the bloodstained but still upright figures of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. They succeeded, with fearless courage and firm belief, they went against the will of heaven and broke a way out in the desperate situation.
The two supported each other, looking at each other's embarrassed but hopeful faces, tears flashing in their eyes, and then showing a relieved smile after surviving the disaster. They knew that this was just a new starting point of a long journey, and there were more unknown challenges waiting ahead, but as long as they walked hand in hand, what was there to fear, even if it meant changing their fate?
The next moment, the system's mechanical voice trembled for the first time, and it sounded in Yun Yao's sea of consciousness: "The host has broken through the 'Red Dust Tribulation', and the mission of this system has been completed... Remember, the ultimate goal of the Burning Heaven Palace is the 'Origin of the Heavenly Dao', and the Yunhua Sect spiritual vein in your body is the key to unlocking the origin."
Yun Yao clenched Chu Mochen's hand tightly, her eyes as firm as a rock, and she swore secretly in her heart: Mother, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will live up to your expectations, protect this world, let the Yunhua Sect regain its glory, and completely destroy the Burning Heaven Palace that attempts to disrupt the way of heaven!
As the last message from the system came in: "Your mother is still alive, sealed in the 'Burning Heart Mirror' of the main altar of the Burning Heaven Palace..." Yun Yao took a deep breath, stood side by side with Chu Mochen, and looked into the distance. There was the direction of the Burning Heaven Palace, and also the battlefield of their next battle. The real counterattack had only officially begun from now on.
