Chapter 278: Tribulation

It felt like a wildfire was spreading through her veins, burning hotter and hotter with every passing second.

Gu Jin's knees buckled, and she fell to the ground with a gasp, clutching her chest as the first wave of pain hit her.

It was unlike anything she had ever felt before.

Her entire body felt like it was being torn apart from the inside, her muscles seizing up as the energy of the Dark Fire element surged through her, pushing toward the breakthrough.

She screamed, her voice echoing through the empty forest as she writhed on the ground, the pain so intense it was almost blinding.

"Space!" she shouted, her voice hoarse. "Do something!"

"I-I can't!" the space stammered, sounding just as panicked as Gu Jin felt. "Master, you just have to endure it!"

"Endure it?!" Gu Jin's vision blurred as another wave of searing pain tore through her. "I'm not going to survive this!"

But the space had no answers. No solutions.
