"Tribulation clouds?"
Ye Feng frowned. He remembered Qiao Ying mentioning something about these a few days ago…
"A few days ago, when I comprehended that move from the old man in plain clothes, tribulation clouds appeared… and just now, I carefully felt that move from the old man in plain clothes…"
"Could it… could it really be me…"
"Whoosh!"
As Ye Feng muttered to himself, the swirling tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly stirred. As the clouds churned, space warped, and a pillar of golden fire abruptly appeared, hurtling down towards Ye Feng below.
"Damn it, it's tribulation fire!"
Seeing this, Zemo La cried out in alarm, his face filled with terror.
"Tribulation fire? What's that?"
"Ah!"
While Ye Feng was still wondering, a piercing scream erupted from Zemo La above him. He had been caught directly by the golden flames descending from the center of the tribulation clouds.
"Ugh! Ah!"
After Zemo La's scream, Ye Feng's pained cry followed, as he too was engulfed by the golden flames.
"So painful! Ugh~! Ah!"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth, his skin almost instantly seared by the golden tribulation fire, his blood and muscles igniting almost simultaneously.
"Ah! Ah!"
"Kid! What are you doing bringing this tribulation fire upon yourself? I'll kill you!"
"Ah!"
Zemo La screamed and cursed, his body rapidly turning to ash…
"Ugh~ Ah!"
"What the hell is this inexplicable tribulation fire?"
Ye Feng had no time to pay attention to Zemo La. He cried out in pain, a wave of anger surging through him. He struggled to escape the range of the tribulation fire but was utterly unable to.
The only fortunate thing was that his arcane energy was water-attributed, which could resist some of the damage from the tribulation fire. Coupled with his physique, which far surpassed that of an ordinary person, he was not incinerated into ash as quickly as Zemo La…
…
A considerable distance below Ye Feng,
"Xiao Xiao, hurry, stop! You can't use arcane energy, nor your angelic power!"
Qiao Ying embraced Xiao Xiao, who was clad in angel armor and about to fly towards Ye Feng, shouting loudly.
"But… but big brother is screaming! I want to help him!"
Xiao Xiao struggled intensely. Ye Feng's pained cries, suppressed with immense suffering, had made her extremely anxious.
Therefore, despite Qiao Ying's repeated warnings not to use arcane energy or angelic power, she couldn't help but want to fly to Ye Feng's side…
"Xiao Xiao, calm down!"
"Ye Feng is undergoing a tribulation! That's tribulation fire!"
Qiao Ying held Xiao Xiao even tighter. "If you use your arcane energy or true energy, it will cause the tribulation clouds to expand…"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
As Qiao Ying's words fell, the tribulation clouds in the sky expanded. The dark, rolling clouds soon reached above Qiao Ying, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Ye Lin.
Instantly, the three women felt an immense pressure on their bodies, and a presence locked onto them.
"Xiao Xiao, I'm also very anxious, but if we fly over, we won't be able to help Ye Feng, and we might even attract the tribulation fire's attention to us!"
At this moment, Qiao Ying spoke again. "Let's run to Ye Feng's location first and assess the situation, but absolutely do not use arcane energy or angelic power!"
As she spoke, Qiao Ying pointed to the churning tribulation clouds above their heads.
"Okay!" Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and quickly ran towards Ye Feng's location, with Qiao Ying and Wu Ye Lin following closely behind.
…
"Sizzle! Sizzle!~"
"Ugh~ Ah!~"
Even though Ye Feng desperately used his water-attributed arcane energy to protect himself, his entire body was still being severely burned by the tribulation fire, forcing out cries of pain.
"Hiss!~ Woo!~"
The intense pain caused Ye Feng to gasp, but he inhaled a mouthful of flames, making his face contort in agony.
"Damn it!"
"What exactly is this tribulation fire? Why is it targeting me out of the blue?"
Ye Feng looked at the continuous golden flames from the swirling clouds in the sky, both surprised and perplexed.
He found that no matter how he tried, he couldn't leave. He was bound to this void, only able to be scorched by the tribulation fire…
Moreover, this tribulation fire could directly burn through his true energy. Even the peculiar true energy he cultivated through those mysterious movements offered no resistance.
On the contrary, the water-attributed arcane energy, which he had previously considered unremarkable, could slightly reduce the damage of the tribulation fire…
What made Ye Feng feel even more uneasy was that this tribulation fire seemed to also affect his mental energy. In just this short while, not only was his body burned… his mind also felt hazy…
…
Directly below Ye Feng,
"Big brother is being burned so badly by that strange fire! What should we do?"
Xiao Xiao looked up at Ye Feng, who was burning like a human torch, her face filled with anxiety.
"Xiao Xiao, Ye Feng is a cultivator. He must have had some premonition about this heavenly tribulation…"
"Did he collect any treasures to deal with it?"
Qiao Ying's voice was also quite anxious, and she was contemplating whether to use the power that Ling Xi and Leng Yue had given her before they left.
"Treasures… treasures?"
Xiao Xiao looked confused, as she really didn't know about this.
"Xiao Xiao, do you remember the Eternal Frost Ice? The one we got when we explored the Frost City!"
"Use that!"
At this moment, Wu Ye Lin's voice rang out. "Grandpa specifically told me about the Eternal Frost Ice. I didn't quite understand it before, but from what Uncle Liu said earlier, besides healing, it was likely prepared to deal with tribulation fire!"
"This…"
Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned. "The Eternal Frost Ice is with big brother. We need to tell big brother about this!"
"Big brother…"
After hearing Wu Ye Lin's words, Xiao Xiao immediately shouted up at Ye Feng in the sky. Qiao Ying and Wu Ye Lin also helped to shout.
"No, the distance is too far, and big brother seems to have fainted!"
After the three women had shouted anxiously for a while, a flying mecha instantly appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand. "I'll fly up and tell big brother!"
Saying this, Xiao Xiao put on the mecha and flew towards Ye Feng in the sky.
"Whoosh!~"
In the sky, a large golden fireball that had been encircling Ye Feng suddenly split off a wisp of golden flame, instantly reducing Xiao Xiao's mecha to near scrap.
"Ah!~"
Xiao Xiao cried out in surprise and fell downwards, but was caught by Qiao Ying, who had flown up.
"Sister Qiao Ying, Sister Lin? You?"
Xiao Xiao was very surprised, as both Qiao Ying and Wu Ye Lin had flown up.
"Xiao Xiao, in this place, the tribulation fire is mainly targeting Ye Feng. Controlling the aura of arcane energy or angelic power should only have a small portion flying towards us, and I can hold on for a while!"
Qiao Ying quickly explained to Xiao Xiao.
"My water-attributed arcane energy can help a bit!"
Wu Ye Lin's words followed, filled with urgency.
"Oh! Okay!"
Xiao Xiao responded, and Qiao Ying pulled Xiao Xiao and Wu Ye Lin towards Ye Feng's direction.
