"Daddy…"
"Daddy…"
As soon as the four girls appeared, they chirped like larks, affectionately surrounding Amon and calling out to him.
They were quickly captivated by the surrounding scenery: the azure sky, mountains, grasslands, and lakes. Everything was so new to them.
Cai Lin's four daughters had lived in the Heavenly Tomb since birth, a desolate and dead World.
Later, when Amon was transferring, they hid in the space he had constructed within his body, a space that was also completely empty.
Therefore, this vibrant and colorful World seemed so new and beautiful to them.
Curiously, they manipulated the World's energy, forming giant energy hands thousands of feet long to stir the lake, collapse mountains, and peel back turf.
These were four Dou Saint-level mischievous children!
And they were mischievous children who didn't have a clear understanding of their own abilities!
Nearby plants and animals suffered, and some Magical Beasts trembled under their terrifying Dou Saint-level pressure.
Amon watched quietly, and after they had frolicked and calmed down, he pinched his monocle and said, "Your mother should have mentioned the task you are to undertake."
A hint of fear flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and the four sisters fell silent.
After a while, Xiao Xiao, as the eldest sister, softly said, "Mother told me that one of us four must undergo an 'evolution,' which Mother also experienced once."
"It's very dangerous… but it's what she hopes for, and what Daddy needs, so I will take responsibility, after all, I am the elder sister."
"Sister…" Xiao Huo, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi all looked at her, their eyes filled with worry.
"Let me do it. Anyway, I'm not much weaker than Sister," Fourth Sister Xiao Yi took a step forward.
Among the four sisters, Xiao Xiao had the best talent, already a Three-Star Dou Saint, while the other three were Two-Star Dou Saints.
The other two also mustered their courage: "We can't let Sister face the danger alone; we'll go together."
"You all…" Xiao Xiao sternly put on her eldest sister's authoritative face: "All of you, shut up! Mother isn't here, I'm the elder sister, listen to me!"
"No listening, no listening, just not listening!"
"Nya nya nya… Big Sister is the silliest!"
They didn't have much real sense of "danger"; they just heard Cai Lin say "danger" would bring "death," and "death" was terrifying.
But due to the influence of their living environment, they didn't have a clear understanding of it, and the topic quickly veered off to who knows where, and they started Noiseing again.
Amon, with a smile on his face, spoke: "Don't be so pessimistic. A narrow escape… that was in the past… Now, I have a greater certainty of preserving you under the lightning tribulation."
"Of course, the price is that each of you four will need to face a considerable degree of danger. Are you willing to share the burden with Xiao Xiao?"
The three younger sisters nodded.
"Then it's settled. Let's begin now." Amon cleared his throat, and a brilliant figure separated from his body.
This was an Amon composed of various flames, gathering twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames and Amon's two Beast Flames.
"I'll go first." Xiao Xiao stepped forward, speaking first.
"Good." Amon nodded.
The secret technique had been taught to them by Cai Lin long ago; it was the most familiar secret technique to them, besides their innate inheritance.
Xiao Xiao's delicate face was filled with seriousness, her gaze fixed intently on Amon, who had already transformed into a ball of flame slightly larger than a person. She took a deep breath, adjusting her emotions.
An Amon clone took Xiao Huo, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi away from her, watching from the distant sky.
Xiao Xiao hesitated for a long while, finally overcoming the nervousness and fear in her heart. After forming several intricate and complex hand Sealed Artifacts, she walked towards the Heavenly Flame.
She gritted her teeth and stepped into the Heavenly Flame.
Terrifying high temperatures instantly invaded her body, and the flames mercilessly licked her skin. Her originally smooth skin rapidly charred and carbonized.
The intense pain made Xiao Xiao unable to help but let out a shrill scream. She wailed in agony, transforming into a huge Nine Ancient Heavenly Serpents, its body shimmering with starlight.
This was the Magical Beast soul she had fused with… the remnant soul of the Nine Ancient Heavenly Serpents, completed by the Worm of Spirit!
After transforming into a giant serpent, her screams turned into terrifying roars, and the sound, accompanied by Dou Qi fluctuations, spread far and wide. The Magical Beasts on the grassland sensed a terrifying pressure originating from the depths of their bloodline.
Some fled in panic, while others, terrified, directly prostrated themselves on the ground, burying their heads deep in the grass.
A ray of starlight lit up and merged into Xiao Xiao's body. This was a clone of Amon; he activated Parasite at this moment!
Originally, using his main body for Parasite and evolving together would have been the best choice, but his main body had merged with Candle Dragon's body using the Combine Dragon Secret Technique, and later swallowed the Dragon Phoenix Great Pill to evolve into a Dragon Phoenix, thus losing the ability to Parasite.
Therefore, he could only let a clone do the work.
After the clone Parasite Xiao Xiao, he and Xiao Xiao became inseparable and could be regarded as a single entity, so Xiao Xiao's evolution was equivalent to the clone's evolution!
And the clone could be regarded as a single entity with the main body, so the clone's evolution was roughly equivalent to the main body's evolution!
Amon used this method of blurring rules, exploiting a small bug, to participate in this evolution.
He transformed into a Dragon Phoenix nearly ten thousand zhang in size. The two-thousand-zhang-long Nine Ancient Heavenly Serpents King appeared petite in front of this terrifying beast.
An incomparably terrifying might swept across the entire Northern Continent, and the energy between heaven and earth surged, rising and falling rhythmically like tides.
Under this terrifying pressure, like the might of heaven and earth, countless Magical Beasts and humans uncontrollably felt a tremor; this was fear from the depths of their souls!
Under the scorching of the Heavenly Flame, the body of the Nine Ancient Heavenly Serpents continuously shrank, shriveled, and carbonized, finally turning into a charred corpse. At the core of the charred corpse, a trace of vitality stubbornly persisted.
Amon's Dragon eyes narrowed slightly; he knew the most crucial moment was about to arrive. Whether they could safely pass through, controlling the intensity of the lightning tribulation was of utmost importance!
If it was too strong, it could lead to death; if it was too weak, the power of creation generated by the World's rules after passing the lightning tribulation would be insufficient, thus preventing the completion of evolution.
Bai Lin, in the Nether Serpent Realm, coerced and enticed various Medusa Empress Borough to evolve, the most important point being to allow Amon to collect data through this, to conduct a quantitative analysis of the lightning tribulation's intensity and the amount of creation power.
Originally, Amon would have had some trouble passing the lightning tribulation, but after eating the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the problem was much smaller. The abundant life force provided by the Bodhi Ancient Tree allowed him to cope more calmly.
However, for safety, he still used his concealment ability to slightly lower his aura.
His concealment ability originally couldn't deceive the World's rules, but the lightning tribulation would be so strong, which was already the result of Amon using the relationship between himself and his clone to deceive the rules.
Therefore, as he adjusted his aura, the lightning tribulation's intensity would also decrease accordingly… This merely brought the lightning tribulation closer to its original intended intensity.
In the sky, dark clouds rolled, and layers of thunderclouds obscured the sunlight. The World plunged into a night-like darkness, where one couldn't see their own hand.
Suddenly, golden light illuminated the heavens and earth.
Looking up, one could see countless golden dragons formed by lightning bolts swimming among the clouds.
The color of these giant dragons was whiter than Nine Profound Golden Lightning, appearing platinum. The power contained within them was even more terrifying than normal Nine Profound Golden Lightning!
Even Amon's eyes flashed with solemnity, no longer his usual calm.
He could feel that the energy contained in each of these lightning dragons was probably equivalent to an Eight-Star Dou Saint!
It was as if this heaven and earth did not allow a terrifying existence like Amon to evolve again!
Xiao Huo, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi, watching from afar, had pale faces and trembled as they watched this scene, tears welling up in their eyes.
Their minds were not very firm; just as some children would be scared to tears by the sound of thunder on a rainy day, they were so terrified by this dreadful lightning tribulation that they almost cried.
While fearful, they also worried for Xiao Xiao and Amon.
The four of them did not resent Amon for making them do such dangerous things; they only felt it was natural.
After all, their mother had also experienced this tribulation, so wasn't it normal for them to experience it too?
Although this was a crisis, it was also an opportunity for a Dragon Phoenix to leap over the Dragon Gate!
The lightning dragons roared and charged downwards. Amon coiled up, a pure light appearing in his right eye. He protected Xiao Xiao, and layers of doors appeared around him.
The "Sealing" Dou Technique, transformed from the characteristics of "Door"!
Amon sealed himself; if others wanted to attack him, they would have to break through this seal!
The lightning dragons crashed into the doors, and suddenly, the entire heaven and earth were left with only a pure white, dazzling light that obscured everything.
The doors constantly shattered under the impact of the lightning dragons, but Amon continuously created new doors with his Dou Qi.
There was more than one lightning dragon; they came in waves, each wave consisting of dozens, and the number was constantly increasing!
Amon's speed of creating doors gradually couldn't keep up with the lightning dragons' speed of destruction.
Finally, the last Sealed Artifact door also shattered, and the platinum lightning, with irresistible power, crashed onto Amon's body.
Purple-gold luster shone, and powerful Dou Qi flowed, filling every scale of Amon. He activated the defensive Dou Technique brought by the Dragon Phoenix bloodline—Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor!
