Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 548: Knocking on Death’s Door

He took out a sword. One of the ancient ones Chu Miao had given them. It was a low-grade spiritual weapon.

This time, he met the lightning head on and slashed it with the sword.

The momentum of the lightning slowed down and only a small part hit him.

This gave his body the time to heal a little more with the pills he was taking.

The fifteenth bolt of lightning fell, and the sword cracked. He changed to another one and kept meeting the bolts of lightning head on until he was too injured to move.

He dropped to the ground as he took the last pills. Two were meant for healing, and two spirit gathering pills.

Even though they didn’t have much potency, they helped in passively absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings while he faced the last bolt of lightning.

This one accumulated for a while unlike before when they came in quick succession.

When he saw that the clouds were still gathering, Ye Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down cross legged to cultivate.

Actively absorbing spiritual energy stimulated the medicinal effects of the pills he had taken to work faster.

His wounds that had accumulated to the point he couldn’t stand healed a bit more and the almost dry spiritual energy in his dantian gathered a good amount.

When he looked up and realized that the last bolt of lightning was about to fall, and the nascent soul in his seat of consciousness was formed but not solid, he took a deep breath to prepare himself.

He knew that the last bolt of lightning was deadly. It could kill him if not handled well, and even if he survived, it could completely shatter his newly formed nascent soul and cripple his cultivation.

So, he had to be very careful.

So, he immediately used a large part of the spiritual energy he had gathered to create a protective barrier around his nascent soul and the rest was used to resist the lightning.

He didn’t even bother to form a barrier for himself. He was from the Immortal Realm and he knew that as long as his nascent soul was intact, even if he lost his physical body, he could cultivate another one.

The last bolt of lightning fell followed by the sound of thunder.

It was so loud that those in the city felt as if an earthquake had occurred.

This bolt of lightning was purple unlike the earlier ones and was almost as thick as a bucket.

When it fell, Ye Xuan flew into the air to meet it with a heavy sword in hand.

He slashed with all his might but the impact was small.

The purple lightning struck him square on his body slamming him back to the ground.

By now, his clothes were torn and burned into rags.

When he fell, Ye Xuan didn’t move. Chu Miao, who had been watching from a far with her heart in her mouth let out a loud cry.

Tears steamed down her face with every second that Ye Xuan remained still.

In fact, Ye Xuan was fully conscious, but his body was injured so much with almost all his internal organs torn, his bones broken, his skin burnt, and spiritual energy in the dantian completely dry.

At that moment, even a three-year-old could kill him.

The clouds didn’t leave immediately after that last strike, as if debating about whether to add another bolt of lightning for good measure or not.

After seeing that Ye Xuan hadn’t moved for a few minutes, the dark clouds dispersed and the calamity cloud was about to move away when Ye Xuan stirred on the ground.

His nascent soul had been completely formed after that last strike and because it was well protected, nothing happened to it.

When it saw that Ye Xuan was in bad shape, it sat down in the sea of consciousness to cultivate and guide the spiritual energy it absorbed into his dantian.

Thus, the initially dried up dantian received some sprinkles of spiritual energy, giving him the strength to move a little.

The clouds that were about to move away stopped as if shocked.

It was a miracle that any human could survive that, but now that the dark tribulation clouds had dispersed, there was nothing it could do except to bless the man.

Thus, golden rain began falling from the sky directly on top of Ye Xuan. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Like a hungry wolf, his body actively absorbed the rain and the severe wounds that could have killed him, healed so fast one would think they were dreaming.

The internal bleeding stopped, the shattered organs became whole again and even tougher than before, the raptured skin repaired itself.

Soon, Ye Xuan was as energetic as before and much stronger.

His nascent soul also worked hard to absorb the golden rain and its form solidified further its foundation became firm.

As the clouds began drifting away, Ye Xuan did a cleaning spell and changed his clothes just as Chu Miao arrived next to him with puffy eyes and heartache she couldn’t hide in time.

"Why are you crying? I survived worse tribulations than this one." Ye Xuan laughed lightly as he wiped tears from Chu Miao’s eyes.

"But you were always prepared with many magical artifacts to protect yourself. Going through such a tribulation here is too dangerous." Chu Miao said, her voice still breaking from sobs.

"But we have to go through it regardless. If we are to go back to the Immortal Realm, we will have to face more tribulations. Probably some more dangerous than today. But this is what cultivation is about. It is going against the heavens, and the heavens aren’t happy to be challenged. We have to accept it." Ye Xuan comforted his girlfriend, pulling her into his arms as a form of reassurance.

"I know. I just hate seeing you suffering so much." Chu Miao smiled as she lay in Ye Xuan’s arms.

"One day, we will be so strong that heavenly dao wouldn’t dare to strike us." Ye Xuan said as if making a vow.
