Chapter 585: Chapter 463 Guidance of the World Will

Or perhaps take on the next part after everything was completed.

"You are the first person to have this amount of Merit, so you can receive guidance in Divine Soul Fusion,"

the woman’s voice echoed in his ears.

The first one?

What is this Divine Soul Fusion?

And who is this holy woman?

Wu Xiaode’s mind was bursting with questions.

In a realm of nothingness.

He suddenly sensed an inexplicable Power.

This Power merged with him and began searching for something.

Even so, he was not nervous at all, as if he already knew it was beneficial to him.

The woman’s voice suddenly sounded again:

"Ordinary improvements are meaningless to you because in your real trump card, everything about the combatants is the same."

"Yes, indeed it is," said Wu Xiaode.

——The other party could actually know such a thing!

Is she really the Evil Phoenix?

Only to hear the woman’s voice saying:

"Once ’Fury,’ this Death Skill is unleashed, both friend and foe will be on equal footing with identical health bars, Soul Power, and similar damage from various moves."

"I can do two things: first, whenever you advance in realm, one of your three Divine Skills can be strengthened once;"

"The second is for you to decide."

Wu Xiaode thought for a while and said, "I want to strengthen the feedback."

"What do you mean?" the woman asked.

"Since everything is the same, I hope... my attacks can make the enemy feel the deepest pain," Wu Xiaode said.

In the battle of ’Fury,’ everything is the same.

But if one side feels pain more acutely—

It would be a double torment both spiritually and physically.

Wu Xiaode had even thought about what to say at that time—

"Come on, let’s trade punch for punch! Let’s see who lasts the longest!"

This would be especially effective against the heaven-defying demon who had never known the sufferings of ordinary beings!

Wu Xiaode quietly waited for the woman’s response.

"Agreed," said the woman’s voice.

As her voice fell.

Wu Xiaode suddenly opened his eyes.

He found his true form had vanished, still transformed into the White Wolf, sitting cross-legged in the cave.

The woman opposite him had disappeared, replaced by the Evil Phoenix.

The Evil Phoenix opened her eyes, her expression usual, casually withdrawing the Dharma Seal in her hand, while asking Wu Xiaode:

"How about it? Was it incredibly beneficial?"

Strange.

She seemed to know nothing.

"Do not be puzzled, during the activation of my Divine Skills, I am unconscious, and it was actually the manifestation of world’s will."

"World will?" Wu Xiaode said, lost in thought.

He had never heard of such a thing.

"Yes, it will bestow guidance and help according to the magnitude of your Merit," said the Evil Phoenix again.

So that was it.

Wu Xiaode inwardly marveled.

It was incredible—

Unexpectedly, there was such an "emergence" in the world.

"Blood Youth, are all the Divine Skills in the Cultivation World this bizarre?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Every ’emergence’ is unfathomable, Master," said Blood Youth, feeling a sense of disappointment.

What the heck.

That woman just made a sword-gesture with her fingers and pointed it in the air at the master’s brow.

She didn’t physically touch anything.

——This wouldn’t create conflict between the master and the mistress.

Blood Youth sighed, lightly leaped, and once again perched on the rock wall above Wu Xiaode’s head, ignoring the events below.

Wu Xiaode, smiling, clasped his hands and said:

"My lord, I have benefitted enormously, and I am truly grateful."

"Hurry and enhance your strength," said the Evil Phoenix.

After speaking, she closed her eyes and began to meditate and recover slowly.

She didn’t know how much energy had been spent, but she was feeling somewhat weary.

This situation was rare.

It seems the expenditure for this Divine Skill was substantial...

The Evil Phoenix pondered deeply.

Wu Xiaode, on the other hand, had a glint in his eye as he looked to the sky.

Lines of ice crystal characters appeared:

"You have spent 181 points of Merit for an unprecedented soul fusion."

"The will guiding you can be referred to as the World Will."

"You have obtained two enhancements:"

"First: Each time you advance a realm, one of your three Death Skills will be enhanced;"

"Second: Your attacks will be very painful; the extent comes from the might of the Heavenly Tribulation you endure while breaking through the realm."

Advance in realm.

I just have to pass the Heavenly Tribulation to advance in realm!

He glanced at the Evil Phoenix again.

——Her Divine Skills were indeed very impressive.

Now he finally understood why Zanjin was so envious of his position as the Evil Phoenix’s guard.

...

As it turned out, Wu Xiaode’s considerations were overly cautious.

Not long after the spatial confinement broke, great demons freely entered the underground world.

Seeing this, the Evil Phoenix, without a second thought, took Wu Xiaode and pierced through space, leaving the underground world.

Within the Grotto Heaven.

"White Wolf, you go down and rest. Improve your strength thoroughly in the coming days, and come see me again in three days," the Evil Phoenix ordered.

"Yes, my lord," Wu Xiaode saluted and withdrew.

He could also roughly guess.

During these three days, the Evil Phoenix would surely strike hard at the forces of the Golden-Winged Bird, Li Long, and Vermilion Bird to plunder their treasures and manpower.

Wu Xiaode simply left the Grotto Heaven and returned to the mountain.

Because he carried the "guard’s" badge, no one stopped him.

——The Evil Phoenix even granted him additional Cultivation Resources, filling an entire storage bag.

This was her endorsing him.

Wu Xiaode naturally understood and couldn’t help but smile.

"Master, what do we do now?"

Blood Youth asked listlessly.

Wu Xiaode did not reply but opened "Evernight City" and flew towards the depths of the mountain range with all his might.

About half a day later.

He had already crossed the entire mountain range and entered the vast and boundless wilderness.

In an uninhabited swamp.

Wu Xiaode looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

"Blood Youth, I command you to guard me with all your strength. You must not let any being disturb my tribulation."

He said.

As soon as the words fell, the power of the Causality Law immediately radiated out.

Previously, underground, I always felt that Blood Youth wanted to pull some trick —— one just can’t be too careful with this guy.

It is only by directly binding her with the Causality Law that one can feel at ease.

Blood Youth, head hanging, obediently responded:

"Yes, Master."

She also noticed the change in Little Wu’s attitude and couldn’t help feeling some regret.

But by this time, Wu Xiaode was no longer thinking about her issue.

Wu Xiaode had already reverted to his true form, standing amidst the swamp, closing his eyes and taking a moment to regulate his breath.

He adjusted his condition to its best.

Suddenly.

Rows of ice crystal characters silently appeared:

"You have triggered the Heavenly Tribulation."

"The Heavenly Tribulation is about to commence."

"Should you succeed in this Heavenly Tribulation, you will officially be accepted by the World Will, becoming a cultivator of the current world, and attain a Cultivation Realm."

"Countdown five seconds, the Tribulation arrives."

"Five,"

"Four,"

"Three,"

"Two,"

"One!"

Boom —

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and Lightning danced among them incessantly.

The rain fell.

Gradually, the rain became torrential.

In the storm, Wu Xiaode looked up at the sky.

"The might of heaven and earth is indeed tremendous," he exclaimed.

Blood Youth shouted from afar, "Master, be careful! The Heavenly Tribulation of the Cultivation World is no joke. You need to resist with all your might and make full use of that blade of yours!"

A perfectly appropriate concern surfaced on her face —— this time, it was genuinely sincere.

One cannot assist in a Heavenly Tribulation —

If she were to face the tribulation together with her master, the tribulation would immediately become stronger and stronger, ultimately making the entire breakthrough process more perilous and unpredictable!

The master must not die.

If he were to die, not to mention how the Mistress would retaliate, even the Causality Law would not spare her.

She would only be able to follow him in death.

So that concern just now was utterly from the heart.

"Just keep an eye on our surroundings; I have my own measures," Wu Xiaode also shouted.

He laid his hand on the Butterfly Soul Blade.

Blood Youth was right; this blade could attack through space and was guaranteed to hit, making it extremely suitable for transcending the tribulation.

Boom —

Under the watchful eyes of both Wu Xiaode and Blood Youth, a bright flash of lightning struck down from the sky.

With a clang, Wu Xiaode drew out the Butterfly Soul Blade at his waist.

He raised the blade —

The next instant, as the blade was halfway through its slash, it suddenly halted mid-air.

Collapse!

The lightning struck Wu Xiaode.

Rain and wind dispersed from around him, and with blood flowing from his seven orifices, he howled in extreme pain:

"Aaahhhhhh!"

—— Lightning had hit him.

"How can this be!" Blood Youth couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Why didn’t the master make that slash?

Could someone have interfered?

The fierce glint in Blood Youth’s eyes flashed as she soared into the air, releasing all of her immense power, straining to catch the hidden enemy.

But she found nothing!

—— What exactly happened just now?

Anxious, Blood Youth once again turned her gaze toward Wu Xiaode.

She saw Wu Xiaode covered in blood, sliding his long blade back into its sheath, and standing in place with a Fist stance, holding his breath to await the next thunderstrike.

"Master, why didn’t you strike just now?"

Blood Youth couldn’t help but shout out.

"Don’t mind that, just focus on guarding the surroundings!" Wu Xiaode barked back.

His gaze once again fell on the sky.

Rows of ice crystal characters hung there motionless:

"You have gained the enlightenment of the World Will; from now on, your attacks will bring intense pain."

"The extent of the pain will depend on the might of the Heavenly Tribulation you endure while breaking through."

"—— Recording the pain from this injury with the Law."

Yes!

This is the power bestowed upon him by the World Will after the Evil Phoenix activated her Divine Skills and possessed her!

If he dodged the lightning strike ——

It would not be considered as enduring the might of the Heavenly Tribulation!

—— He must endure it for it to count!

Wu Xiaode stood his ground, took a deep breath, and whispered:

"My enemies..."

"Let us share this agony together."

The clouds churned.

Another blinding bolt of lightning split the sky, heading towards him.

And he just swung his fists, meeting the lightning head-on —

Boom!

The earth shattered!

Amidst the wind and rain, Wu Xiaode’s anguished roar echoed.
