Boom!Crimson tribulation flames, like maggots clinging to bone, rapidly spread along Zyra's vines, the high temperature scorching the subspace energy into distorted ripples.Qin Tian clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on the vines in the air—fire was naturally the nemesis of plants, let alone tribulation flames imbued with the rules of destruction. Even with the heart of wood marrow protecting her, he couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.But the next second, Qin Tian was stunned.Although Zyra's vines were scorched black and curled, and many small branches even turned directly into ash, her main vine and thick branches did not collapse. Instead, they trembled slightly in the tribulation flames, as if—absorbing the flames?This was—the Spirit Devouring Magic Vine's talent!Qin Tian's eyes lit up. The Spirit Devouring Magic Vine could devour all energy, even tribulation flames. As long as it didn't exceed Zyra's tolerance limit, she could convert it into her own nourishment.It seemed he had greatly underestimated Zyra's strength. No sooner ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) had the thought crossed his mind than Zyra's vines suddenly erupted with an even stronger suction. The rampant crimson tribulation flames, as if finding a vent, were rapidly swallowed by the vines.Under the scorched epidermis, new green shoots continuously emerged, and the vines became tougher and thicker than before. A faint fiery pattern even appeared on their surface, and vigorous life force spread out like a tide.In just half an incense stick's time, the crimson tribulation flames were completely devoured. Zyra's aura not only did not weaken but grew even stronger—the first wave of tribulation flames, a successful tempering of her body!The residual heat of the crimson tribulation flames had not completely dissipated, and the chaotic airflow of the subspace was still slightly distorted by the high temperature. However, the next moment, a sudden change descended upon Zyra.The vines, which had grown tougher in the tribulation flames, instantly lost all their luster. Their emerald green epidermis faded at a visible speed, first turning dull and then quickly to a deep brown, like withered wood from which all moisture had been drawn, seemingly ready to shatter at a touch.Immediately after, wisps of black smoke emerged from the vine's Texture. This black smoke was not ordinary ash from burning, but carried a rich scent of "decay." As soon as it appeared, it wrapped around the surface of the vines, like maggots clinging to bone, drilling into the veins beneath the epidermis. Wherever it passed, the veins, once filled with life energy, instantly shriveled, turning into thin black lines.The edges of the once-spread leaves began to yellow and curl, like plants struck by severe frost. In just a breath's time, the yellow spread to the entire leaf, then quickly lost moisture, becoming dry and brittle."Rustle—" With a faint sound, the dry leaves fell like autumn foliage. As soon as they touched the chaotic airflow of the subspace, they instantly turned to dust, leaving no trace behind.In just a few breaths, the leaves on thousands of Zyra's branches had all fallen, leaving only bare vines, looking particularly desolate in the subspace.Even more terrifying, the wilting trend was constantly spreading towards the main vine. The main vine was originally as thick as a barrel, with a healthy sheen on its surface, but at this moment, the vitality beneath the epidermis was being rapidly drawn away. The once-full vine began to indent and shrivel inwards, developing deep wrinkles, like the withered skin of an old person.A faint "crack, crack" sound came from inside the vine. It was the sound of veins breaking due to the loss of energy support, each sound seemingly announcing the passing of life."It's the Withering Tribulation!" Dongfang Mingyue's voice grew solemn again. "It specifically targets the life essence of spiritual plants. Many spiritual plants can withstand tribulation flames but fall at this stage!"Instantly, Qin Tian's heart leaped into his throat.He watched as Zyra's vines withered at an alarming speed. In less than a quarter of an hour, nearly half of her branches had completely shriveled, and the wilting continued to spread towards the main vine.Zyra's consciousness transmitted waves of pain. She desperately mobilized her own life force to resist, fighting against the power of wilting.Just as the main vine was about to show signs of wilting, the heart of wood marrow wrapped around its center suddenly burst forth with dazzling green light.A surge of majestic life spiritual energy, far exceeding anything before, gushed out like a volcanic eruption, rapidly spreading along the vines.The moment the withered vines touched the spiritual energy, they re-ignited with vitality. Emerald green "sap" once again flowed beneath the shriveled epidermis, and new branches and leaves grew wildly at a visible speed, fiercely confronting the still-spreading black wilting gas—like two armies locked in battle, one representing vitality, the other representing destruction.Finally, with the blessing of the heart of wood marrow, the life spiritual energy completely suppressed the black wilting gas, gradually expelling and devouring it.Zyra's vines grew wildly. The main vine's diameter increased several times, and its branches extended thousands of meters away. The vigorous life force impacted the surrounding energy clouds like a tsunami, pushing the purple cloud masses several miles outwards—The second Withering Tribulation was safely overcome!However, the most dangerous test followed closely.There was no scorching heat from tribulation flames, no visible traces of wilting, yet Qin Tian and Dongfang Mingyue both felt a bone-chilling cold at the same time.The next second, Zyra suddenly let out an extremely sharp shriek—the sound was not transmitted through the air, but directly echoed in both their minds, carrying heart-wrenching pain, as if her soul was being forcibly torn apart.Immediately after, the vines in the air completely lost control, beginning to twist and lash out wildly.The originally spread main vine, like a giant python swept by a gale, violently rolled in the subspace. Its body collided with energy clouds, shaking the purple cloud wisps into scattered fragments.Thousands of branches, like runaway whips, lashed out wildly in all directions. Some shattered floating energy crystals, some struck the space, causing subtle cracks, and others intertwined and strangled each other, as if to vent the pain within their bodies through destruction.The sight was akin to a human struggling and writhing under extreme torture, each twist carrying a desperate force, each lash revealing a deep pain at the soul level.Even more unsettling, Zyra's originally stable and rising life fluctuations now violently surged and became chaotic, like a lake assailed by a storm. At times, they skyrocketed to the extreme, as if about to break free, and at other times, they plummeted to the bottom, so faint they almost completely dissipated. Each fluctuation challenged the very limits of "existence."Qin Tian's heart tightened again. He could clearly feel Zyra's state through their soul connection—her soul essence was like being thrown into a meat grinder. Countless invisible forces were frantically tearing and crushing her soul core. These forces carried a cold aura of destruction, specifically targeting the fragile soul structure of spiritual plants, aiming to completely obliterate her consciousness."It's the Soul Tribulation!" Dongfang Mingyue's voice was grave. "The souls of spiritual plants are inherently fragile. The Heavenly Plant Tribulation's soul impact directly targets the origin. If she can't endure it, her soul will be scattered!"At this moment, Qin Tian could even feel the panic and pain in Zyra's consciousness. Her soul was like a small boat in a storm, capable of capsizing at any moment.Just then, the heart of wood marrow glowed again, but this time it was no longer a majestic life spiritual energy, but a soft green light that directly permeated Zyra's soul level.The green light, like a warm barrier, firmly protected Zyra's soul. Invisible soul impacts repeatedly struck the barrier like a tide. The green light recessed and rebounded again and again, continuously weakening and resolving the impact force.The energy of the heart of wood marrow was rapidly depleting, and its emerald green luster gradually dimmed, but it stubbornly held on, shielding Zyra's soul from one fatal impact after another.Seeing this, Qin Tian and Dongfang Mingyue both breathed a sigh of relief.After an unknown period, when the last soul impact was resolved by the green light, the surrounding space finally returned to calm.Zyra's vines stopped twisting and slowly unfurled. Golden spiritual patterns appeared on the main vine, and rich life energy and soul power intertwined, forming a brilliant pillar of light that shot straight into the depths of the subspace."Qin Tian, she broke through! Zyra has broken through to the seventh rank!" Dongfang Mingyue excitedly tugged on Qin Tian's arm.Qin Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his face.Having undergone the tempering of the three Heavenly Plant Tribulations, Zyra not only successfully broke through but also achieved a qualitative leap in both her soul and spiritual body. At this moment, she had truly become a seventh-rank spiritual plant.
