Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive
Chapter 681: They Never LearnIf it could not escape, it would force them close to the person facing the tribulation.
Perhaps the heavenly dao would become confused.
Perhaps the countless zombies would reduce the lightning striking Chu Miao and give the intelligent commanders a chance to survive.
The low-level zombies resisted at first.
Their instincts warned them to move away from the hotel.
But the mental control was stronger.
They turned and rushed toward the center.
Millions of zombies crowded the streets.
They climbed over cars, walls, and one another as they moved closer.
Chu Miao sensed the approaching horde and opened her eyes.
"They truly don’t learn."
The same strategy had reduced the lightning around Ye Xuan during his tribulation.
The more targets gathered beneath the clouds, the more the lightning divided among them.
The intelligent zombie probably thought it was using the lower-level zombies as shields.
Instead, it was making Chu Miao’s advancement easier.
The first bolt had still not fallen.
The heavenly dao appeared to be gathering enough strength to punish every target inside the city.
Chu Miao used the waiting time to check her body.
The spiritual energy in her dantian was circulating rapidly.
Her meridians had expanded to their limit, and her Nascent Soul was surrounded by a silver light.
As more spiritual energy entered her dantian, the appearance of the Nascent Soul started changing.
It no longer resembled a small solid figure.
Parts of it became transparent, then turned into pure energy.
This was the beginning of Divine Transformation.
A cultivator’s Nascent Soul would transform and become more closely connected to their divine soul.
Once the process was complete, her control over spiritual energy and space would increase greatly.
The transformation could not be rushed.
Chu Miao kept her breathing steady and guided the energy carefully.
A painful crack came from her dantian.
Her expression did not change.
The outer layer of the Nascent Soul had split.
Silver light poured through the crack and filled her meridians.
At the same time, the first lightning bolt descended.
CRACK!
The sky turned white.
The bolt struck the protective array around Chu Miao.
The entire hotel shook.
Several windows shattered, and cracks spread from the roof to the lower floors.
The array absorbed most of the lightning, but a smaller portion passed through and entered Chu Miao’s body.
Pain spread across her skin.
She circulated the lightning through her meridians before guiding it into her bones.
It was not enough to cause serious damage.
Instead, it began removing impurities from her physical body.
The first strike was only a test.
Chu Miao opened her eyes and looked at the clouds.
"So, it begins."
Lightning started falling across the city.
Thousands of bolts descended at the same time.
They struck the zombies gathered in the streets, those hiding inside buildings, and those attempting to escape through underground tunnels.
Low-level zombies turned to ash immediately.
The stronger ones survived the first strikes, but their bodies were badly burned.
The city that had been silent for so long filled with roars.
Buildings caught fire.
Roads split apart.
The barrier surrounding central City K lit up whenever lightning struck it, preventing the marked zombies from escaping the tribulation range.
The intelligent commanders spread out.
Some entered buildings.
Others hid among the lower-level zombies.
Their efforts were useless.
The lightning followed them wherever they went.
The speaking zombie rushed into an underground entrance.
A bolt struck the road above it.
The ground exploded, exposing the tunnel.
Before the zombie could change direction, a second bolt followed it underground.
BOOM!
Black smoke poured from the opening.
Chu Miao did not pay attention to whether it survived.
The second bolt meant for her had already arrived.
It was thicker than the first.
When it struck the protective array, three of the outer flags shattered.
More lightning entered her body.
Chu Miao clenched her hands but did not resist it completely.
She guided the power into her meridians again.
The pain became stronger.
Her skin reddened, and several thin wounds appeared on her arms.
The lightning moved through her bones and muscles, destroying impurities before her spiritual energy repaired the damage.
Inside the Soul Ring, Ye Xuan felt her pain through their connection.
His expression tightened.
The guardian beasts became quiet.
None of them teased him now.
The Black Tortoise looked toward the sky of the Soul Ring as if it could see through it.
"Her foundation is stronger than yours," it said. "Her tribulation will not be easy."
"I know."
"You should not interfere."
"I know."
The Black Tortoise looked at him.
Ye Xuan’s aura had become cold, and lightning was already gathering around his fingers.
It was obvious that knowing and accepting were two different things.
"The first strikes are tempering her body," the Black Tortoise continued. "She is controlling them well."
Ye Xuan forced the lightning around his hand to disappear.
He sat down beside the spiritual spring and focused on their connection.
Outside, the third bolt descended.
Then the fourth.
The protective array weakened with every strike.
Chu Miao remained seated at its center, guiding the lightning through her body while continuing the transformation of her Nascent Soul.
The process was slow and painful, but her aura became stronger after every bolt.
At the same time, the number of zombies in City K dropped rapidly.
The streets that had been filled with black heads were now covered in ash.
Crystal cores rolled across the damaged roads.
Some fell into deep cracks created by the lightning.
Chu Miao noticed them but did not have time to collect anything.
They could wait.
If she succeeded, every crystal core in the city would belong to them anyway.
The fifth bolt struck.
The remaining flags of the first protective layer shattered.
Chu Miao looked at the broken array around her.
It had lasted longer than she expected.
She waved her hand, and another set of flags flew from her space ring.
Before they could settle into place, the clouds above her churned.
Two bolts formed at the same time.
Chu Miao paused.
"Already?"
The heavenly dao did not answer.
The twin bolts descended together.
