Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive

The zombie might not have heard her from that distance, but it understood the warning when three more spatial blades appeared around it.

It fled deeper into the building.

Chu Miao did not chase it. Her next lightning bolt was already coming and this one was thicker than the previous strikes.

The air around it distorted as it descended.

Chu Miao reinforced her protective array.

The bolt struck.

BOOM!

The remaining upper floors of the hotel collapsed.

Dust rose into the sky.

The protective array shattered, and Chu Miao fell with the broken roof.

She created a spatial platform beneath herself and landed on it.

Concrete and steel continued falling around her.

With a wave of her hand, she moved the debris away and cleared an open space in the middle of the destroyed hotel.

The building was now much shorter, but it was still standing.

"That saves me the trouble of coming down later," she muttered.

Inside the Soul Ring, Ye Xuan watched her every move and listened to all sounds coming from outside.

So, he heard her words clearly.

His tense expression softened slightly.

If she still had the energy to complain about the building, then she was handling the tribulation well.

Chu Miao arranged her third set of protective flags.

She had already endured more than ten bolts.

The exact number was difficult to track because some descended together, but her body remembered every one of them.

The transformation inside her dantian had reached a critical stage.

Half of her Nascent Soul had already turned into silver energy.

The remaining half resisted the transformation.

Chu Miao had no choice but to direct more spiritual energy toward it.

A sharp pain spread through her dantian. She ignored it and continued.

The Nascent Soul cracked again.

More silver energy flowed out and she could feel her divine sense expanding suddenly.

It swept across the square, passed through the surrounding buildings, and continued toward the edges of the sealed region.

Everything became clearer.

She could sense individual crystal cores beneath the ash.

She could also distinguish the mental imprints controlling the zombies.

Thin red threads connected many of them to the intelligent commanders.

Most of those threads led to different places within City K.

One, however, stretched beyond the city.

Chu Miao tried to follow it.

The thread immediately disappeared.

The distant consciousness had noticed her again.

"Turns out you are still watching." She muttered softly to herself.

After what happened in City S, it seemed the assumed zombie king was unwilling to communicate directly.

But that was fine.

As long as it continued watching, it would see another zombie stronghold disappear.

Chu Miao withdrew her divine sense and focused on her breakthrough.

The next group of lightning bolts descended.

This time, four came together.

Two struck the protective array.

One targeted the zombies surrounding the hotel.

The last curved in the air and headed toward Chu Miao from the side.

She moved the space around it.

The bolt changed direction and struck the bloated level-nine zombie that Ye Xuan had restrained earlier.

The zombie had already lost half its body, but it was still alive.

The lightning finished what Ye Xuan had started.

Its remaining flesh turned to ash.

A large level-nine crystal core fell to the ground.

Chu Miao glanced at it.

Even during her tribulation, she did not forget about valuable resources.

The fourth bolt broke through her array and entered her shoulder.

Pain traveled down her arm.

Her fingers became numb.

Chu Miao circulated the energy through her bones before forcing it toward her dantian.

The silver energy surrounding her transforming Nascent Soul absorbed a small part of the lightning.

Its color changed slightly.

Fine purple threads appeared within the silver light.

Chu Miao observed the change carefully.

The lightning did not damage her Nascent Soul.

Instead, it made the transforming energy more stable.

She had found another use for the tribulation.

Rather than directing all the lightning into her physical body, she could use part of it to temper her Divine Transformation energy.

Of course, the amount had to be controlled because too much would destroy her dantian.

She guided another small thread toward the Nascent Soul.

The resistant half finally began transforming faster.

Chu Miao smiled.

The heavenly dao was trying to punish her, but it was providing exactly what she needed.

The next bolt descended.

She absorbed more of it.

Her meridians burned, but the transformation continued.

One quarter remained.

Then one fifth.

Her aura rose steadily.

The sealing array around City K shook under the continuous lightning strikes.

Several flags on the outer edge cracked.

The intelligent zombies noticed.

They gathered near the weakest part of the barrier and attacked together.

A small opening appeared.

The speaking zombie rushed toward it.

Just as it was about to pass through, Chu Miao repaired the damaged section with spiritual energy.

The opening closed in front of its face.

The zombie struck the barrier angrily.

Chu Miao was too busy to respond.

She had already expected the outer array to weaken, which was why she prepared replacement flags inside the Soul Ring.

With a thought, she retrieved another set and sent them toward the damaged sections.

The intelligent zombie watched the cracks disappear.

Its expression became almost human in its despair.

It turned toward Chu Miao.

"Monster!"

Chu Miao heard it clearly this time.

She looked at the zombie covered in rotten flesh and burns.

"Are you sure you should be the one saying that?"

The zombie roared and attacked the barrier again.

Chu Miao returned her attention to the clouds.

The lightning had become stronger, but the pauses between strikes were also longer.

That gave her time to heal and adjust.

After nearly an hour, she had endured thirty-six bolts.

The protective arrays had been replaced four times.

Her combat uniform was torn in several places, and fine wounds covered her body.

However, her eyes remained clear.

Her Nascent Soul had almost completed its transformation.

Only a small part remained solid.

Once it turned completely into Divine Transformation energy, she would cross the most dangerous stage of the breakthrough.

Chu Miao swallowed another healing pill.

Above her, the clouds stopped releasing lightning.

The sudden silence spread across City K.

The remaining zombies looked up.

Inside the Soul Ring, Ye Xuan stood.

"It is not over," the Black Tortoise said.

"I know."

The first thirty-six bolts had only been the beginning.

The clouds rotated slowly, drawing in more energy from the surroundings.

Purple lightning gathered at their center.

Mixed within it were thin silver lines that carried spatial fluctuations.

Chu Miao felt the pressure and raised her head.

The heavenly dao had adjusted the tribulation to her space element.

A much stronger second stage was about to begin.
