Chapter 596: In The Name of The Sovereign
Gu Qing Shan stood still with his sword in hand.
The Tribulation clouds were turning thick, plunging the world into stifled darkness.
A few sprites of light began to appear from among the clouds.
They hovered in the air, accumulated into shining white and blue balls of light that appeared slow but descended quickly towards the ground.
Two flying swords turned into streaks of like as they flew upwards, slashing from afar.
Gu Qing Shan was using his full power, so the sword phantoms they released were extremely concentrated, flying out at top speed!
From afar, it looked as if streaks of white light were flying from the swords with each swing, slashing one ball of light after another.
The balls of lightning exploded into glittering electricity that filled the air.
Whenever these arcs of electricity met, they would form a bigger slithering electric snake that made a blue-white cut in the darkness.
The light and the glittering streaks of electricity filled the dark sky.
It was a magnificent sight.
But Gu Qing Shan’s expression only became more solemn.
He took a deep breath and changed his sword stance.
Once a Tribulation begins, the power of Tribulation Lightning would slowly increase over time.
——the arduous journey was still ahead.
Five breaths later.
Countless shining stars dotted the sky.
The huge amount of Tribulation Lightning shined like stars in the sky, radiating light in large areas.
There was nothing but Tribulation Lightning in the sky!
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the Tribulation Lightning and silently nodded.
“Right at this moment”
Taking the Chao Yin sword in hand, he prepared to infuse it with Soul Points to go straight to the ice layer above, bringing the power of Tribulation Lightning with him!
There were 100,000 ghosts and 2 million demonized there!
Right as Gu Qing Shan was about to move, a voice called out.
“Gu Qing Shan, wait!”
Gu Qing Shan stopped and turned around to see a shocking sight.
A gigantic tree that connected heaven and earth was standing behind him.
It was the Saint Bramble Tree.
This wasn’t a projection that arrived through the leaf, but the real great tree itself!
It had directly bypassed the limit of space-time to directly arrive at this world!
Laura stood below the shade of the tree, waving to him.
“What are you doing?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I’m sorry that I gave you an armor that couldn’t be used. Please wait a minute, I need to make that armor work now” Laura loudly yelled out.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Armor?
“Her highness had determined herself to go through the coming of age ceremony, please wait for a few moments” Ilya silently sent her voice.
“Is the coming of age ceremony dangerous?” Gu Qing Shan instantly sent his voice back to ask her.
“It isn’t, she will only run into a few minor obstacles—– before, her fear of heights had prevented her from trying, this was the first time she had decided by herself to proceed through with the ceremony”
“Alright”
Gu Qing Shan turned and smiled at Laura and spoke: “Then you’ll have to hurry up, because——”
Boom!
While he was talking, a bolt of Tribulation Lightning came down, Gu Qing Shan only barely managed to block it with his sword.
He was struck deep into the ground.
Seeing that, Laura hurriedly spoke: “Gu Qing Shan, don’t die ok!? I will finish this very quickly!”
She came in front of the Saint Bramble Tree and grabbed a bunch of thorns.
Fresh blood poured from her hand.
Ouch!
Laura scowled.
These were the thorns of the Saint Bramble Tree.
On the tree, apart from where the leaves grew, there were thorns all over.
This was a mystical tree that was born and grew up during the Age of Old, having withstood the test of time and nurtured by it, every living being that thought to harm it had already turned to dust.
Within the 900 million World Layers, this old Bramble tree was nigh-unbeatable.
Fortunately, while it had untold power, the tree itself had a grasp of the Laws and Truths of Growth and Destruction, thanks to that, it didn’t use its power to destroy or abuse its power too much by interfering with the natural order of the worlds.
If the Saint Bramble Tree were to have any weakness, that would be the very same Law of Growth that it grasped—— for a type of termite worm would periodically grow on it.
This termite worm was the natural enemy of the Saint Bramble Tree.
Even a newborn termite worm would be able to counter the majority of the Bramble Tree’s powers, rendering it unable to do anything in retaliation.
However, any Bramble Bird could easily deal with these termites.
And so, at this time, when the Saint Bramble Tree heard Laura’s call, it immediately came to her without hesitation.
It could sense that the Bramble Bird royal bloodline had sustained heavy losses.
And that this little one right here was the last of the Bramble Bird royal bloodline.
Laura bit her lip, endured the pain and grabbed onto another bunch of thorns.
Then her legs.
She began to climb up the Bramble Tree following its thorns.
With the entire tree being about 10,000m meters tall, the top of the tree easily reached the peak of the sky.
Laura would have to climb up the entire length of the tree bare-handed to be considered accomplishing the coming of age ceremony.
Her hands and feet nimbly moved, quickly climbing upwards.
At the same time, the sharp thorns pierced through her hands and feet, leaving her blood on the tree.
In just a few seconds, she had already made it up several hundred meters.
Ever since she was small, she had already undertaken the training necessary to climb, it was only because of her fear that she still hadn’t truly attempted it.
“This pain is nothing to me”
She continued to climb.
“I already lost my family, I already lost too many things, how could I let mere heights hold me back?”
She glanced downwards unconsciously, her mind suddenly went blank, the familiar fear instilled in her body suddenly came back again.
At this time, Gu Qing Shan abruptly flew up to where she was, smiling: “Do your best, the slower you climb the more it hurts, it’s best if you climb all the way up at once”
He went past her up the sky to once again face the Tribulation Lightning.
The very next second.
A blinding bolt of lightning struck him straight on, once again knocking him straight into the ground.
Thunk!
The sound of a heavy impact.
“Gu Qing Shan!” Laura screamed.
She looked down at the newly-formed hole in the ground anxiously
“Don’t you dare die right now! You managed to save even my life, I know you’ll be able to hold on until I reach the top!” shouting that, she reached her hand up to grab a new bunch of thorns.
——she had forgotten her fear.
Climb.
Climb.
Climb faster!
On the side of the tree riddled with thorns, she climbed faster and faster.
While hiding in the hole, Gu Qing Shan was using his inner sight to watch Laura.
Ah—–
That hurts a bit.
He rubbed a charred spot on his shoulder and silently sighed.
Truthfully he could’ve avoided that one.
But Laura’s expression seemed to have stiffened, just like whenever I carried her to fly.
So I took a minor hit.
A little girl sure is easy to fool, she immediately forgot her fear and hurriedly resumed her climb.
Hm, what a brave little girl indeed.
If I had such a strong-willed daughter, I would probably be really happy for her as well…
While he was daydreaming, more bolts of Tribulation Lightning came from above.
The Tribulation is ruthless.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, waited for a bit before moving again to receive the lightning.
This time, he was much more careful.
All three of his swords manifested, manipulating them so that they would always destroy a bolt of Tribulation Lightning right before it reached him.
More bolts of Lightning rained from above, chasing after him and trying to strike him no matter the cost.
Gu Qing Shan was fully focused, controlling his three swords to unleash a dance of black sword images in the sky, defending against the rain of lightning from above.
After a while, the shower of lightning finally stopped.
Gu Qing Shan reappeared, breathing heavily.
During that tough battle, he was risking his life every moment, giving his all every second that he could.
“How is it? Have enough yet? How about resting a bit before we continue?”
He muttered towards the Tribulation clouds, took out the best spirit energy replenishment pill he had, chewed and swallowed.
—–all of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan felt something.
He slowly looked up.
The Tribulation clouds were glowing.
The black Tribulation clouds slowly turned crimson.
A ball of glowing crimson lightning came out from the cloud.
This was a ball of lightning about as large as a large soccer stadium.
From its crimson color, anyone could tell what it was.
——-Soul Annihilation Lightning.
Among countless types of lightning, this could be considered the strongest one.
Any living being struck by this will immediately be eliminated down to their very soul, not even leaving a chance for reincarnation.
The Soul Annihilation Lightning came down.
Looking at the huge bolt of Soul Annihilation Lightning coming from above, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but mutter: “It seems I’ve teased it a bit too much…”
Laura kept climbing.
Very soon, she would reach the top of the tree!
A distance of 10,000 meters wasn’t much for any Professionist.
To a Bramble Bird, that distance was even less of a problem!
She also saw that bolt of lightning.
Even though she didn’t know that it was, she could still sense the dangerous air it gave off.
Laura started climbing even faster.
The crimson lightning was coming for Gu Qing Shan.
Laura leapt upwards, landing on the top of the tree.
Standing stably at the very top, she loudly declared: “O’ Great Mother Tree, I desire your recognition!”
The entire tree began to glow in a bright blue light.
These light faintly glowed, gathered all at the top of the tree and infused themselves into Laura’s body.
The dark green pair of small wings behind her back suddenly sprouted, turning into a pair of long wings as tall as she was.
The dark green color peeled itself off as her wings glowed in a refreshing bright green light.
Three glowing leaves silently manifested on the tree.
After the three leaves showed themselves, they quickly disappeared into her wings.
Laura stared at this in shock.
I didn’t know the Mother Tree would grant me such profound grace after my coming of age ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, when a Bramble Bird accomplishes the coming of age ceremony, they would receive one kind of blessing from the Saint Tree.
Even a royal family member would be the same.
Only the King would receive a second kind of blessing.
However, even more than the King, in their entire history, only royal Bramble Birds most beloved by the Mother Tree would receive three kinds of blessing!
The three leaves that manifested for Laura represent three different blessings.
And she could already feel the presence of [Infinite Worlds’ Shelter] from one of the leaves.
Now, she had finally fully awoken this ability.
At the same time, a crown made of Bramble wood came from the Saint Tree and gently landed on Laura’s head.
“Long live her majesty!”
“Long live our Empress!”
The Bramble Bird guards already began to chant.
“What a… genius” Ilya was joyful beyond all words.
Laura recalled what she wanted to do.
Her gaze fell below.
The bolt of lightning had already passed over a distance of 10,000 meters and was about to clash with Gu Qing Shan’s sword.
Laura hurriedly ordered: “In the name of the Sovereign, I order you—– awaken!”
