Yue’er’s outer garments were originally just ordinary clothes, but beneath them she wore a divine robe. However, as her body temperature rose higher and higher, and layers of fiery ripples spread from her body, her outer garments were reduced to ashes, leaving only the protective divine robe she wore underneath.

Seeing this, the Azure Emperor gathered immortal energy in his fingers and used it to conjure a blue robe to cover her. Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clouds, but instead of striking directly, it dissipated upon touching the top of the barrier above their heads.

A hundred metres away, Shen Shiqi and the others stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with bewilderment and shock. One of the older middle-aged men gasped and said, "If I’m not mistaken, that flower between Yun Qi’s eyebrows is... is it the Primordial Red Lotus? THE Primordial Red Lotus?!"

"That’s right. Look at the waves of fire surging from her body—those aren’t ordinary flames. But how could she possess a Primordial Red Lotus? I’ve never heard of the Primordial Red Lotus being found anywhere!"

"It seems her original appearance wasn’t her true face; the one now revealed is her true form. But since we’re a hundred metres away, we can only see her profile."

While they discussed this, Shen Shiqi spoke with concern: "She’s merely a mortal now—how can she withstand the power of the Primordial Red Lotus? And the strikes of that lightning tribulation? If this continues, she’ll die! No, I have to go help her!" As he spoke, he tried to step forward, but was held back firmly by the people beside him.

"Master Shiqi, are you out of your mind? This is the lightning tribulation summoned by the Primordial Red Lotus—it’s no ordinary lightning tribulation. Its power is immense; even with our strength, we couldn’t withstand even a fraction of it!"

"That’s right. It seems the Primordial Red Lotus was originally sealed within her body. We just don’t know why it was triggered now, summoning this second-tier heavenly tribulation. If she still had any cultivation left, it might be manageable. But now, with her spirit energy completely depleted—she’s as vulnerable as a mortal—yet still harboring the Primordial Red Lotus, I fear this heavenly tribulation intends to annihilate her and reclaim the Primordial Red Lotus."

"Exactly. All we can hope for now is that the Azure Emperor can protect her. If even the Azure Emperor cannot shield her, then she will likely meet her end today." At this point, the group sighed, their eyes filled with regret.

Cultivators who had gradually gathered here upon hearing the commotion couldn’t help but gasp when they saw the situation at the barrier. Watching the dark clouds churning in the sky, seemingly brewing powerful air currents and lightning tribulations, one cultivator whispered, "Who are those two? How could they trigger such a powerful heavenly tribulation?"

An elderly man standing nearby recognized the figure as the Azure Emperor of Yunxiao Mountain and couldn’t help but express mild surprise. "That is the Azure Emperor of Yunxiao Mountain. But who is the woman in his arms? And why is the Primordial Red Lotus appearing between her eyebrows?"

"The Primordial Red Lotus?"

"Whoa! It really is the Primordial Red Lotus!"

"This woman possesses no spirit energy at all—she’s merely a mortal!"

"How is that possible! How could a mere mortal body possibly withstand the immense power of the Primordial Red Lotus?"

At that moment, a bolt of heavenly lightning tribulation crashed down from the clouds with a thunderous roar, striking the barrier the Azure Emperor had erected. In that instant, the mighty lightning and the two forces within the barrier collided, producing a deafening explosion. A powerful gust of wind surged down from above the barrier; as it struck the surface surrounding the barrier, it transformed into a terrifying wave of air that surged outward with a whoosh.
