My carefree life in space

Chapter 221 Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage

Lin Shushu flew out of the building, not wanting the remaining structure to be destroyed because of her tribulation.

She found a valley at lightning speed. The dark clouds that had been hanging over the buildings seemed to recognize her and followed her into the valley, hovering right above her head.

With no time to consider anything else, Lin Shushu closed her eyes tightly, immersing herself entirely in the state of breakthrough. She felt the spiritual energy within her body like a volcano about to erupt, poised to burst forth. She continuously guided the power of the Star Mirror, merging it with her own spiritual energy to break through the barrier that was hindering her advancement.

At this moment, the dark clouds overhead grew thicker and thicker, layer upon layer, and in an instant, the world was plunged into darkness, as if shrouded under a huge black curtain. The earth began to tremble violently, and boulders tumbled down the mountainside with a deafening roar.

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as an arm, carrying a world-destroying force, pierced through the tribulation clouds and struck straight down. Its speed was so great that its trajectory was almost impossible to catch, and the originally dark world was instantly illuminated.

As Lin Shushu attacked the barrier, she used her spiritual power to form a protective shield in front of her to resist the power of the lightning.

Immediately afterward, a second bolt of lightning struck her from the side at an unexpected angle. But she had no time to pay attention, because under the intense impact, the barrier began to show fine cracks.

Lin Shushu gritted her teeth and increased her spiritual power output. With a crisp "crack" sound, the barrier was finally broken through completely.

A surge of immense power erupted within her body, and her profound spiritual energy overflowed, perfectly neutralizing the force of the second bolt of lightning that was striking her.

Having successfully weathered two lightning tribulations, Lin Shushu seemed to have angered the thunderclouds in the sky, which now turned pitch black, with thunder roaring throughout the heavens and earth. She knew that an even more powerful tribulation was brewing. She seized the opportunity to absorb and transform the surge of spiritual energy she had just experienced, using it to temper her body.

She didn't have much time; the third bolt of lightning, carrying even more terrifying power, arrived in an instant. Lin Shushu was at a crucial moment and couldn't afford to be distracted. The Star Mirror sensed the danger and automatically stepped in front of its master, bearing the brunt of the lightning's power.

Although the force wasn't enough to destroy it, the light on the mirror dimmed considerably.

Just then, Lin Shushu slowly opened her eyes, which shone with a dazzling light, and her aura became incredibly powerful. She reached out and lightly touched the Star Mirror, a confident smile appearing on her face.

"We will face the upcoming tribulation together."

As if understanding her meaning, the Star Mirror gently swayed its body in response.

As another bolt of lightning struck, Lin Shushu was already prepared; this time, she would withstand it with her own body. From the information the Star Mirror had given her, she had discovered that this lightning power seemed to carry a trace of the power of rules. Once she grasped this, she would gain an absolute advantage on the path of cultivation.

This time, the lightning emitted a dazzling light and powerful energy fluctuations, causing the entire space to tremble as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

As the lightning struck, Lin Shushu allowed its power to directly impact her body. She concentrated all her energy, carefully sensing the faint, almost imperceptible power of the tribulation lightning, attempting to analyze, understand, and integrate it into the depths of her soul.

As the tribulation lightning continued to cleanse her, her body gradually turned red, and cracks appeared on her skin, from which blood seeped out. However, she was completely unaware of this, as she was fully immersed in comprehending the power of the rules.

In her perception, the tribulation lightning no longer seemed to be a destructive force, but rather a mysterious mentor imparting to her the most profound laws of heaven and earth.

Time passed second by second, and Lin Shushu gradually became immersed in comprehending the power of the rules. She forgot the pain in her body, forgot everything around her, and even forgot herself. The whole world seemed to consist only of that mysterious power of the rules.

In this wondrous world, she seemed to see the laws governing the workings of all things in the universe, the birth and death of life, and the origin and evolution of the cosmos.

Her appearance terrified Mo Ze, who was far away. Instead of waiting for her at the building as she had said, he followed her to the vicinity of the valley.

Mo Ze knew he couldn't help, but he was really worried and needed to see her safe and sound with his own eyes.

When Lin Shushu faced the first three lightning tribulations, the terrifying power made him tremble with fear. Although he was still worried, he was not too anxious when he saw that she dealt with them relatively easily.

But this time was different. Shushu was directly enduring the lightning with her own body. Even from a distance, he knew that there wasn't a single patch of good flesh on her body. Several times he wanted to rush out and shield her, but he knew he couldn't do that. This was Shushu's tribulation of lightning, and outside help would only make the tribulation more intense.

Moreover, his own strength is no match for Shushu's. If Shushu has to be distracted to protect him, then he will only be making things worse and causing more trouble.

One bolt of lightning after another struck Lin Shushu relentlessly. Each bolt carried earth-shattering power, leaving her body riddled with holes. Yet, her gaze grew ever more resolute as she intently focused on sensing every fluctuation and change in the power of rules within the lightning.

As time went by, Lin Shushu's understanding of the power of rules became increasingly profound.

To her delight, she discovered that whenever she circulated her spiritual energy and guided the power of the rules along specific routes, her body's absorption and transformation of spiritual energy were greatly enhanced. At the same time, with the blessing of the power of the rules, her spiritual energy became purer and more powerful.

Gradually, she began to try to use the power of rules to resist the tribulation lightning. This attempt surprised her greatly; the tribulation lightning that could have injured her before could now only make her body tremble slightly.

Finally, after enduring the final tribulation lightning, the tribulation clouds gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to clear skies. Lin Shushu successfully passed the tribulation and entered the Nascent Soul realm.

Only then did Mo Ze's heart finally settle down, and his tightly clenched hands finally loosened, causing him to fall to the ground.

But now is not the time to relax. The extraordinary phenomena caused by Shushu's tribulation are too shocking. Everyone in the ancient ruins should have seen them. They didn't come before because they were afraid of hurting themselves. Now that the tribulation has passed, many people will definitely come to check.

Although they weren't afraid, they didn't want to attract too much attention, so it was better to leave quickly.

Lin Shushu thought the same thing. After successfully surviving the tribulation, she was about to go back to find Mo Ze when she released her divine sense and discovered him. She smiled helplessly, knowing that Mo Ze was worried about her and had followed her.

In an instant, she landed in front of Mo Ze, and under his surprised gaze, she pulled him into the space.

After they disappeared, several powerful auras gradually approached and arrived at the place where Lin Shushu was undergoing her tribulation in the blink of an eye.

"That's not right. The aura was still there just now, how could it have disappeared in an instant?" The first elder of the Yan Yang Sect asked in confusion.
