2149 Sorry, I broke my promise again...(Chapter preview)

With Blacky, it was not known if Cloud Spirit's mind had become at ease or it was due to Blacky itself that increased amount of tribulation's lightning in this place was absorbed into Blacky's little body.

Sima You Yue glanced at Blacky and hoped that it would be able to withstand it.

"What's the situation with the Underworld Dog?"

When outsiders saw how many tribulation's lightning stikes Blacky withstood, they were all overcome with shock.

Not only was the underworld dog not killed by the lightning bolts, it was still sitting upon the array like it was nothing even after so many strikes. Is that really an Underworld Dog?

"We've long heard that the Young Princess has a powerful Underworld Dog by her side, one that she brought up from young herself. Really wonder where you can find an Underworld Dog like that? Having an Underworld Dog like that by your side, there is no need to fear tribulation's lightning bolts anymore!"

"You really think you will be able to find something like what the Young Princess has? Stop building sandcastles in the air already!"

"That's true."

"That's all that that damned dog is useful for." Upon overhearing the words of envy, Hades muttered in an indifferent tone.

Huan and Black Shadow: "..."

They were both aware of Blacky's identity, so they knew very well how rare and precious it was. Only their King would despise that little dog.

"The Ghost King will not be able to hold much longer." Huan went on to say.

"Struck so many times by tribulation's lightning bolts, it's already a wonder he is still alive!" Hades lamented.

"We can't just leave Young Miss and the Ghost King like that, they will be killed by those lightning bolts!" Black Shadow cried out frantically.

The tribulation's lightning had gone on for such a long period, but the power of the bolts still had not diminished in the slightest, but became stronger instead.

"Having gone against Heavenly Dao, one has to suffer a little of tribulation's lightning at least." Huan then continued. "Youyue isn't even feeling anxious about it, what are all of you getting so worried about?"

"My King, do you mean to say that Young Miss purposely wants the Ghost King to be struck by lightning?" Black Shadow asked in return. "Why?"

Huan understood after giving it a moment's thought and said: "No matter what manner of ways one uses to advance their cultivation level, without being recognized by Heavenly Dao, it would still be deficient and incomplete in some way. Even if he is allowed to have his way with it now and he advances in level, his powers will not increase by much in future. Why not make use of this chance to make up for the lapse in Heavenly Dao instead?"

"So I see." Black Shadow understood now.

"I'll say, can't you be a little smarter? You are one of my underlings you know, you'll only embarrass me out there!" Hades said in a disdainful voice.

Black Shadow immediately shot back: "An inch has its usefulness over a foot!"

"I have never seen the usefulness in you at all! Scram to the side away from me!" Hades said with contempt and then turned to Huan. "Teach him a little more when you have time won't you? He'll just be an embarrassment outside! How can someone like that be a right hand man to anyone?"

"He was the choice made by my King yourself." Huan replied coolly.

"I really chose him myself? Why would I choose him?" Hades was stunned for a moment. "You're not bluffing are you?"

"Your subordinate would not dare."

"Alright. It must be a spasm of my mind back then, and I wasn't my normal self. Why didn't you stop me back then?"

Huan: "..."

Black Shadow: "..."

Black Shadow's heart was stunned momentarily but he recovered quickly, and looked at Sima You Yue with admiration: "Young Miss is really amazing! I don't know what method she used to resolve this crisis?"

In fact, Hades didn't want to explain to him, but he felt that from the various gazes of the other's who were bound by him that were centered on him, and they would not be at ease. He cleared his throat and said, "To resolve the crisis, it can be said to be simple yet it's also hard. It's nothing more than letting the Heavens acknowledge it."

"How do you let the Heavens acknowledge it?"

"Whatever you used to advance, simply use that to let the Heavens acknowledge it. Being able to advance means that that thing can make up for the Heavenly Dao. As long as it is domineering enough, it will be fine."

"The Chaos River!" Black Shadow finally became smart once, "Young Miss seems to be hesitant."

Others also discovered that Sima You Yue was holding the jade bottle in her hand but didn't move. She was hesitating whether to release the water from the Chaos River inside.

"What is she hesitating about?"

"She knew it herself."

Sima You Yue lay on the ground, tightly holding the jade bottle in her hand.

Should she pour it? Or should she not?

To say what she was hesitating about, of course it was because of a very simple principle — water was a very good conductor of electricity!

What if she poured out the water but the Heavenly Dao didn't acknowledge it? Instead, the power of lightning tribulation increased instead and directly killed them?

"Boom--"

The Ghost King, who had endured too many tribulations, finally couldn't hold it any longer, and fell back to the ground heavily. At the same time, the barrier also dissipated.

Blacky also fell by her side, and there was not a single hair left from the little guy who had been struck countless times. When it saw Sima You Yue, it whimpered twice, as if blaming itself for not being able to continue protecting her.

Sima You Yue struggled to get up, picked it up and came to the Ghost King's side. A lightning struck down and she fell down again, lying on the ground.

Little Purple came to her side and collapsed too.

"How are you?" The Ghost King struggled, and wanted to come over to see her, but was struck by another bolt.

However, he still insisted on coming over.

Sima You Yue handed the jade bottle to him, explained Cloud Spirit's words, and said, "If you feel that the Heavenly Dao in your body has been filled, try opening it. This is our only hope."

"You have to hold on a little longer." The Ghost King immediately erected a small barrier beside her.

He looked up at the tribulation cloud and felt that it was preparing another huge bolt of lightning. Moreover, he had a hunch that this tribulation would not be so easy.

He looked down at the jade bottle in his hand, did he want to fight? If it was just him alone, he didn't feel much but he implicated his own granddaughter.

He then smiled wryly, did they have any other choice?

He opened the lid and water from the Chaos River came pouring out. Very soon, the two of them with one cat and one dog was soon submerged.

The river water continued to gush out, almost covering the entire Imperial Capital. Seeing this scene, Black Shadow couldn't help but sigh: "Did Young Miss move the entire River of Chaos over from the Chaos World?"

All the onlookers were stunned by the Ghost King's move. What was he going to do? Was he going to flood the entire capital?!

After pouring out all the water, he sat down with his knees crossed and waited for the final lightning tribulation.

If this method was useless, then the lightning tribulation this time was very likely to kill both of them. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would not be able to withstand the lightning tribulation that followed.

Sima You Yue looked at the Ghost King's figure, even at this time, she still held on to her belief that he would not fall.

"Zaaap--"

This lightning tribulation was indeed much more powerful than the previous one, and after it came into contact with the river water, it spread quickly, and the entire water surface turned silvery white. Coupled with the lightning from other places, the entire Imperial Capital seemed to have become a cage woven by tribulation lightning!

The small barrier around Sima You Yue had no effect at all, and was immediately dispersed by the tribulation lightning. At that moment, she tried her best to hug the cat and a dog beside her.

Sima You Yue felt that she was about to dissipate. She seemed to see her parents madly trying to rush over, and she seemed to see Lingyu's desperate eyes. There was a deep reproach in her eyes, as if she was accusing her of not keeping her word.

She seemed to have promised him that he would never do such a dangerous thing again.

Sorry, I broke my promise again...
