Hannah defeated her first Dao lightning and immediately felt like dying. Her body croaked in pain, wanting to give up. But she couldn't. Not now.
3 more lightning bolts and she was done.
Blue aura gathered in the sky for the 2nd Lightning bolt, for either the Dao of Water or the Dao of Softness that she had learned.
Hannah strengthened her body again, ignoring the pain coursing throughout her body to fight the lightning that was ready to fall.
As the hot bolt of lightning zipped down from the sky, Hannah attacked it at the same time. A beautiful red and orange fire in the shape of a flower blossomed in front of her.
The flower was immediately destroyed when the lightning bolt struck it, but instead of being destroyed, the flower separated into a thousand different petals before each petal dashed back toward the bolt of lightning to destroy it completely.
Hannah felt her body pushed back by the explosive force that spread from the point of impact, which she softened with her Dao of Softness to not get as hurt.
She quickly stood back up, wounded but not down, and got ready to fight for the next one again.
The blue aura gathered in the sky once more and a few moments later, another large bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
Hannah attacked this lightning bolt as well. The strength had gotten marginally stronger each time the lightning bolt had fallen, but that marginal increase in strength when added up made a lot of difference.
Even with her Dao of Softness, Hannah still felt as though each bone in her body had been broken and her muscles were torn to shreds.
But she still held it together.
She stood up, staggering in her steps as she did. A feral look came upon her, teeth gritting at the sight of the bright red aura that gathered in the sky.
Each Dao Lightning that fell was stronger than the other one, and this one in particular was much, much stronger, given the fact that it belonged to a True Dao.
'Here we go!' Hannah thought. This one would be the deciding factor on whether she became an Immortal or died.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer family watched from the sidelines, each one completely speechless at the situation, all praying on the inside for her success. They watched with pin-drop silence as the aura in the sky gathered and came down as a bolt of lightning.
Hannah didn't have that much Qi remaining in her at this point. So she had to use it all.
She used everything she could in this one instant. All of her Dao, all of her techniques, all of her Intent.
As she launched the attack, Alex and a few others managed to glimpse Hannah's white-outlined sword was suddenly fully glowing white.
Hannah reached the stage of Sword Qi.
A burning attack raged through the sky, striking at the incoming lightning bolt. The two attacks struck each other, and it was very clear which one was stronger.
The lightning bolt passed through Hannah's attacks, coming down at her. At this point, there was nothing Hannah could do but just take it.
The lightning bolt struck her and the explosion wrecked the area instantly.
"NO!"
"Hannah!"
A bunch of gasps and shouts of horror left the mouths of many of the people watching. Alex shouted in shock and panic as well.
"Sister!"
The explosion made it impossible for him to see what was happening with both his eyes and spiritual sense. The flood of True Fire Dao aura in the area blanketed everything that could be seen.
The last of the lightning had fallen, so maybe he wouldn't be interfering anymore.
"I'll go check on—"
"Don't be stupid," Bai Jingshen said suddenly. "Let the young girl finish her ascension."
"Is she…"
"Look for yourself."
The dust settled, and while the area was wrought with True Fire Dao aura, they could see Hannah underneath it.
Hannah was a mangled mess of flesh and bones. Most of her body was charred, with a missing arm and a whole right section of her shoulder and chest.
Her hair was completely burned as well, but even as they all looked at her, she began changing.
Her wounds healed, andher missing arm returned. Even her clothes returned to how they were. Within seconds, Hannah was back to normal.
No, she wasn't just back to normal. She was better than that. She had become better.
It was almost imperceptible, but she had grown more beautiful now, her face becoming more symmetrical.
Hannah looked at the sky as the dark storm clouds rumbled, gathering with aura once again. She felt some of the aura up there, but they vanished quickly.
The tribulation was over.
"If any of you think you can learn any Dao that she knows, now is the time. The Dao aura gathered around her will dissipate soon."
Nobody cared about the Dao aura at the moment. They instead all ran up to go check on Hannah.
Long Huan was the first to get to her. He took her into his arms and kissed her. "Hahaha! My wife is an Immortal." He picked her up and spun her around.
"Hannah! You did it. I was so worried."
"Mom!"
Liz arrived right after and took her daughter into her arms as well. One after another, more and more arrived, all congratulating Hannah for her reaching Immortality.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Congrats, sister. How does it feel? Is there any difference?" Alex asked.
"I don't know," Hannah said. "I feel… lighter? I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly."
"No, you're right," Scarlet said from the side. "You have broken past the bounds of this realm. The suppression that this world has on its mortals no longer applies to you. If you wish to, you can fly right into the sky, not that I recommend it."
"Oh."
"Did you open your Soul Space too?" Alex asked.
"Huh? Oh, yes. It's here," Hannah said, looking into her Soul Space. "Wow! It's so big."
Alex raised an eyebrow. "How big?" he asked.
"Not as big as yours. It's about… 120 meters in diameter I think. Does it grow?" Hannah asked.
"120?" Scarlet shouted in disbelief. "How do you have 120 meters wide Soul Space?"
"Is that big?" Alex asked.
"Yes, it's big. I have 70 meters wide and that's because of my bloodline. Most regular Immortal beasts merely have about 10 meters of space."
"Humans don't have much either. 15 meters is average for them I believe. The ones I know to have the largest Soul Space areactuallyAzure Dragons, because of their natural inclination to the space element," Bai Jingshen said from the side.
A lot of her wives nodded, telling everyone the space of their soul space. The largest among the 7 belonged to the Snow Leopard at 22 meters wide.
"Also, yes it does grow with your cultivation base, but the growth is minimal. At most, throughout your lifetime, you will be able to double the space within you."
Hannah felt somehow happy and disappointed. Her space was larger than most, but it was nowhere near what Alex had. Her was the size of a mansion. His was the size of a continent.
Still, she didn't let that get her dejected. She was excited.
After all, she had now become an Immortal.
