As Furball's words fell, the Triple Thunder Calamity descended!
This time, it was even more astonishing. The lightning that struck down had fully materialized, as thick as two adult arms wrapped around each other. When it crashed to the ground, it completely pulverized the remnants of the already ruined Sun and Moon Alliance headquarters!
The Leader was now at his wits' end, exposed to the lightning. The outcome was inevitable!
He roared, a frenzied howl escaping him as he began to self-destruct, burning himself entirely in a desperate attempt to block this third punishment.
Unfortunately, he was destined to die in disgrace. The overwhelming lightning offered him no chance for transcendence; it swallowed him whole. The intertwining bolts of lightning were so dazzling that I could barely see his figure. When the light finally faded, all that remained was a charred human-shaped lump standing there, his hair completely singed away by the strike. With a gust of wind, he crumbled into fist-sized fragments!
Thus fell the Leader of the Sun and Moon Alliance.
It seemed he was fated to be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life.
Since its founding by Zhang Daoling's son, Zhang Lu, the Sun and Moon Alliance had endured for a thousand years. Whether in times of peace or amidst chaos and war, it had remained steadfast. Now, I had utterly destroyed this place, obliterated the headquarters of the Sun and Moon Alliance, and wiped out its upper echelons—all while killing their Leader right at their base.
What else could this be but disgrace?
Meanwhile, Furball grew even weaker under this third punishment. His furry face appeared as if dusted with a thin layer of white flour, looking terribly haggard. It pained me to see him like this; I wanted to go over and hug him again, but he waved me off and declared, "I have a mission!"
At that moment, he lifted his head and smiled brightly.
I knew he was joking with me, yet my heart ached so much that I could hardly breathe. I admitted I had been blind and mistaken about him!
I looked at Xiao Xiao and Wan, shrouded in a blood-red veil, lying motionless on the ground as if trapped in eternal slumber. It made me feel unbearably sad.
Boom!
At that moment, dark clouds above began brewing the fourth punishment. This time, it flickered with blue light!
The cold blue light swirled within the storm clouds, emitting thin tendrils of electricity that sent chills down my spine.
For some reason, I felt an overwhelming sense of dread from those blue sparks; they seemed incredibly powerful and posed a strong threat. If they struck me, I would instantly turn to ash!
It was purely instinctual; upon seeing those blue sparks, fear surged within me almost reflexively!
"Kara!"
The fourth wave of the thunder tribulation finally descended. It was slender, about the thickness of an adult woman's wrist, reminiscent of those delicate wrists of the Skeleton women. However, when it struck the ground, the scene was terrifying; it exploded with a loud bang, creating a massive crater, much like the impact left by a heavy bomb!
In the air, blue lightning danced like snakes, while dirt and debris flew in all directions. Crater after crater erupted from the ground, truly giving a sense of digging three feet deep!
I felt my eyelids twitch violently; even my breath seemed to stop. These blue bolts of lightning were clearly explosive!
When the blue lightning struck the blood-red shield, it began to tremble and hum instead of remaining still.
Furball spat out a mouthful of blood!
My heart ached at the sight. I wanted to rush over to help him, but he pushed me away. "No need to help me. It's already begun and won't stop. My fate is sealed; I don't want to fall into your arms."
Looking into Furball's eyes, I saw them flicker. Suddenly, I seemed to understand his inner thoughts—he didn't want to cause me more pain!
The thunder tribulation was coming faster and faster!!
Just as the fourth wave ended, the fifth wave began brewing in the leaden clouds above. Soon, blue lightning as thick as my thigh engulfed Dao Alliance.
This time, the blood-red shield appeared almost transparent. It seemed connected to Furball; he bled from all seven orifices. I wanted to help him again, but he was much stronger at that moment and pushed me away forcefully.
Then the sixth wave of thunder tribulation descended.
It was blue lightning as thick as a barrel. In an instant, the entire Dao Alliance shook violently, and that blood-red shield shattered completely.
I was stunned by this overwhelming power, left speechless.
Who could withstand such punishment?
"Time's up."
Suddenly, Furball let out a soft sigh, jolting me awake from my shock. I turned to see Furball's shiny black eyes staring blankly into space.
Sixfold Thunder Tribulation.
Sixfold.
After sixfold, he would perish!
In that moment, clarity struck me. My mind was completely blank, and I had no idea where the strength came from in my withered body. I sprang up and lunged directly at Furball!
But my hands passed right through him, unable to make contact!
He was no longer solid?
Where was his body!?
“Brother, there’s no need to search. My body is already gone.”
Furball looked at me and sighed gently. “The essence of our Bai Ze’s spirit creatures is not only an encyclopedia but also a treasure that burns the essence of its own flesh to counteract the Dao! Therefore, when the Dao grew furious and decreed my destruction, I had already linked my fate with yours. If I vanish, the punishment will transfer to you. In this way, we will both endure the Ninefold Punishment together, giving us a glimmer of hope! Brother, do you understand? Only I can be your successor because I alone possess the technique to link our fates. This is our Bai Ze’s ultimate skill!”
Crack!
At that moment, a loud explosion erupted from Furball's body, and then his entire form shattered like glass, cracks rapidly spreading across him!
“I must go now, brother. I will wait for you in the future. I await your arrival, prepared and invincible; then I can follow behind you as your brother.”
Furball suddenly laughed, raising his head and shouting, “Let’s go! Just like when we came into this world!”
Boom!
A terrifying roar echoed through the air as the leaden clouds above were torn apart, like a battle axe splitting open a crack. Golden light poured down from that fissure.
In that instant, Furball’s form transformed into a radiant glow as he rushed toward the opening. It was only when he neared the crack that he reformed into his shape once more. However, he appeared completely transparent now, shimmering with specks of golden light that reflected against the rift in the sky.
"Brother, I'm leaving now. In the vastness of the unknown, we shall meet again!"
Furball floated in mid-air, a gentle smile gracing his lips. It was sweet yet powerful as he clenched his fist. "Brother, you have to keep going. It doesn't matter how others see you; in my heart, you are the greatest brother in the world and the most formidable man. I believe you can break through the nine realms and meet me again in the future. Please don't give up on your life. Even if the world scorns you, curses you, and turns its back on you, I hope you will persevere. Grit your teeth, stand firm, and face everything with your fists because you are my most admired brother!
Live on.
Live on so that we all have a chance to meet again!"
With that, he transformed into a radiant light and surged into the crack. The crack sealed shut, and then dark clouds began to gather above me, faintly emitting a Purple Light!
Live on.
Live on.
Live on, for there is still a chance to reunite. As long as there is breath, never give up!
I clenched my fist, my spirit finally lifting a little as I looked up at the dark clouds above. My fighting spirit began to revive bit by bit.
For our reunion, I will fight until the end!
