Immortal in The Apocalypse

Dark thunderclouds swirled across the sky, turning an otherwise bright sky into darkness. The same phenomenon occurs in the Human realm, the Immortal realm, and the Celestial Realm. Mortals look up at the occasional flash of lightning in the dark thunderclouds and feel terror deep inside their souls.

"God is angry! God is angry!"

Those mortals knelt on the spot and begged for Heaven's mercy, didn't dare to look straight at the sky covered by thunderclouds.

In the Immortal realm, many high-ranked cultivators have come out from their seclusion. While disciples of immortal sects, free cultivators, and ordinary people are looking up at the sky. Their faces have many different expressions, but most are masked by fear. In the long history of the Immortal realm, this is the first time they have seen this kind of thundercloud.

In the main hall of the strongest sect in the Immortal realm, almost all sect masters and elders from immortal sects gathered together with gloomy faces. An old man sitting on the main seat looked at his guests and asked, "Fellow Daoists, does anyone know what is going on now?"

The oldest man sitting below him raised his face, looked at everyone in the hall, and then turned to look at the old man sitting on the main seat. He stroked his long white beard and said, "Sect Master Mo, this old man had a guess. But I'm not sure about it."

Sect Master Mo looked at the old man calmly and said, "Sect Master Su, please speak freely."

Sect Master Su stroked his long white beard again, then looked at the black thunderclouds that were still hanging high in the sky.

After a long silence, he spoke in a heavy tone. "There is a God in the Celestial Realm, who is passing lightning tribulation."

When everyone sitting in the main hall heard what he said,  they were startled and looked at the dark thundercloud outside at the same time. This is the first time they have experienced the tribulation lighting on this scale. There was a nervous look on their faces, and fear welled up in their hearts.

Different from the fear and anxiety that shrouded the Human realm and the Immortal realm, at this moment, the rulers of the three dark realms were gathered together at the Devil realm calmly. There is no fear and anxiety on their faces, only excitement and bloodlust could be seen from their eyes.

The three rulers knew that if this god could survive the tribulation lightning, their plan to seize the territory of the gods would fail before it even started. If this god fails, then they have a greater chance of seizing more territory from the gods.

The three rulers sat together, quietly discussing their plans. Whether it is a bright future or a dark road, depends entirely on the fate of this god, who is undergoing the tribulation lightning.

Knowing the plan of the three dark realms, the gods assembled almost all their armies and strengthened the barrier in the Heaven Pillar. The Heavenly Emperor looked at the formation in the distance and clenched his hands. His gaze was still fixed on the formation, and his dignified voice called out to the God of Destiny.

"Star Lord Si Ming, how is it? Can you see her fate now?" He asked calmly.

Si Ming stepped forward and saluted the Heavenly Emperor. Si Ming then straightened his waist and said, "Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor. This official still can't see the fate of True God Zhu Lin."

All the immortals standing on the cloud platform behind the Heavenly Emperor looked at the formation calmly, but their eyes showed hope mixed with anxiety. This is the only god who was born as a true god besides the Heavenly Emperor.

If she can survive this tribulation, she could reach a higher realm and become an ancient god  with the Devil God. She then can save the Six Realms, surpassing the fate of all beings, and completely kill the Devil God. If she fails, the Six Realms will fall into an era of chaos.

In the center of the formation, Zhu Lin's body was covered with blood. Her meridians were ruptured, and her god core already cracked. With her long sword in her hand, she looked up at the pitch-black thundercloud fearlessly, then she held the long sword even tighter. Blood dripped from the corner of her lips, and she wiped it casually with the back of her hand.

A little white rabbit standing not far from Zhu Lin looked at her with worry in its pair of red eyes. Tu Tu clenched its small fists and shouted: "Master! You must hold on!"

A fire qilin trapped in Zhu Lin's spirit palace looked at the cracked sky of the spirit palace and said anxiously: "Master, please let us out! We can protect you!"

An ice qilin stood beside the fire qilin quickly nodded and said, "Master, please let us help you."

Zhu Lin didn't answer them and still stared at the dark thundercloud. She sighed softly and said, "I don't know if I can survive this tribulation. I have changed the conditions of the contract that binds us. If I die, all of you will be fine inside my spirit palace. You can leave my spirit palace and live freely when your strength recovers. I have let all of you down. I'm sorry."

In her spirit palace, her contracted beasts all had red eyes after hearing what she said. Because Zhu Lin put up a protection formation in her spirit palace, her contracted beasts couldn't leave. 

Seeing the last tribulation lightning struck Zhu Lin at an extremely fast speed, and Tu Tu screamed in horror. "Master, be careful!"

As soon as Zhu Lin heard Tu Tu's scream, she was ready to receive the last tribulation lightning. Her spiritual tools, talismans, and divine energy have all been used up. All she has left is her sword and unwillingness in her heart.

She looked up at the approaching tribulation lightning and muttered softly: "Come on, Bing Jian. This is the last one. We must survive."

Her sword made a low humming sound in answer to her words. Zhu Lin raised her sword, made a hand seal, and summoned her sword intent. She leaped towards the tribulation lightning, then slashed her sword down.

Boom!

Her sword intent collided with the tribulation lightning, sending a huge energy explosion throughout the Celestial Realm.

Crash!

The God Protection formation was shattered after being hit by the energy of the collision. The ground cracked, and all the gods in the Celestial Realm tried their best to resist the energy wave from the explosion.

Zhu Lin gritted her teeth, resisting the power of heaven that came with the last tribulation lightning. Seeing that the tribulation lightning still hadn't lost its power, she knew that she couldn't bear this final blow.

With determination in her eyes, she pulled out the last divine energy in her god core and poured it into Bing Jian. When the cracks on her god core grew, her sword intent became stronger and stronger, and she said, "I must survive!"

This is her last attack. Life and death of the Six Realms were dependent on this single attack. Zhu Lin rushed towards the tribulation lightning, confronting the might of heaven. This attack of hers is more powerful than the previous one, and it can even cut open a space.

"Master!" Tu Tu saw the opened void and rushed towards her.

Boom!

When the dust settled, nothing remained. After a while, countless rays of light came from all directions. Gods, devils, demons, and ghosts all appear from the light at the same time. When they saw the situation inside the Heaven Pillar, each of them had different expressions.

The Devil Lord looked at the crack in the Heaven Pillar and suddenly laughed maniacally. "She failed! Hahaha! She failed!"

A few seconds after the Devil Lord's laugh stopped, the three dark races erupted in cheer. While the three dark races were celebrating, the faces of the gods showed sadness, but their expressions remained calm. The Heavenly Emperor flew to Heaven Pillar and searched around for a while before he picked up a few broken pieces of jade on the ground.

Holding those jade pieces tightly, his heart sank. After a moment of silence, he calmly said, "High God Ming Ye, get ready for the war."

The God of War clasped his fists, bowed slightly to the Heavenly Emperor, and said, "Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

After finishing speaking, High God Ming Ye and other gods turned into a beam of light and returned to the Celestial Realm, preparing for the upcoming war between the gods and the three dark races.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the jade pieces in his palm, raised his head, and then calmly looked at the festive atmosphere on the side of the three dark races. The Six Realms cannot escape its fate, but he hopes that his younger sister can escape her fate.

He put away the jade pieces in his spirit palace, looked at the cracks on the Heaven Pillar, and said softly: "Lin'er, I hope you can meet them there. Leave the Six Realms to me. You should live for yourself from now on."

After finishing speaking, with a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Emperor turned into a beam of light and returned to the Celestial Realm. He has a lot of things to do, and the most important thing is to protect the Six Realms for his younger sister's sake.
