A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother

I walk with a heart as clear as a bright mirror.

This heart is like a sword, severing all obstacles!

This heart is like a mirror, reflecting the sun and moon.

I walk in righteousness, loyal to my own justice, dedicating myself fully to my justice until death.

I move towards my Dao, and I will never stop until I reach the peak.

"........."

Li Xuanxiao shook his robe and exhaled a heavy breath.

The surrounding wind wrapped around him.

The sky seemed to be covered by a giant black curtain, heavy enough to make it hard to breathe.

Occasionally, dazzling lightning flickered within the thunderclouds, slashing through the dark sky like silver snakes.

Each flash of lightning seemed as if it would tear apart the heavy world, accompanied by deafening thunder, while the rolling thunder rumbled and roared through the clouds.

The thunder grew louder and louder, like thousands of horses galloping, like mountains collapsing and the earth splitting, shaking the heavens.

Who in this world doesn't fight for the crossing, even mortals can fight for immortality!

Li Xuanxiao was fully prepared, cautious, yet at the final moment, he displayed an air of open-heartedness.

A golden core was swallowed into his stomach, and he knew at that moment, his fate was not controlled by the heavens!!

"Boom——!!!"

In that instant, the first thunderbolt descended from the ink-black clouds.

Li Xuanxiao's face grew solemn, not daring to be careless for even a moment. The immense magical power within him surged like a raging river, beginning to wildly flow.

The first thunderbolt fell, then the second, and the third.

They almost fell simultaneously.

After the thunder tribulation, Li Xuanxiao's eyes shone brightly.

He could feel the fierce collision and confrontation between every ounce of his power and the thunder tribulation that had just arrived.

It felt like surging ocean waves crashing against rocks, or like raging flames scorching steel.

After being baptized by this tribulation, the sensation became even more apparent.

He knew the three thunderbolts were just an appetizer.

The real trial was yet to come.

Li Xuanxiao formed a hand seal and shouted loudly,

"With my true energy, joining the creation of heaven and earth, Thunder God assist me!!"

"........."

"Which Dao friend is crossing the tribulation here!!"

Someone shouted loudly, but there was no response.

The speaking cultivator wasn’t expecting an answer; he was merely curious.

Passing cultivators stopped and looked at the scene from afar.

Such a thunder tribulation naturally made them wary of approaching.

Of course, there were always a few with ulterior motives, bold enough to act.

For example, Fan Yue at this very moment.

Getting closer to the thunder tribulation certainly shook Fan Yue’s soul.

But he quickly realized, this was an opportunity.

During the tribulation, the cultivator was at their weakest, the perfect time to seize the body!!

Foundation Establishment breaking through to Golden Core.

Is this... the tribulation of a first-grade Golden Core?

Isn’t this the perfect body prepared for me?

The fourth, fifth, and sixth thunder tribulations descended one after another.

Fan Yue widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the person undergoing the tribulation.

He wasn’t surprised by this person’s power; to Fan Yue,

there seemed to be no one in the world he would consider truly strong.

Let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In Fan Yue’s eyes, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core were no different than the difference between a smaller ant and a larger ant.

But Fan Yue had never seen anyone who could refine their cultivation base as perfectly as this person.

This body didn’t seem to have been cultivated by a mere mortal, but instead seemed like an exquisite masterpiece carefully crafted and sculpted by countless grandmasters.

Fan Yue smiled.

The heavens are protecting me!!

This body is mine.

The heavens assist me, and during the tribulation, there’s no need for a guardian.

If anyone had been around to guard, with Fan Yue’s current soul, he would have been helpless.

Fan Yue rejoiced, rushing straight towards the person undergoing the tribulation.

He silently recited a spell, using his last bit of energy.

He passed through the layers of thunder tribulation, then dove straight into the Soul Extermination Formation.

Ha!

Fan Yue sneered.

Not stupid, knows to set up a Soul Extermination Formation.

But it's a pity...

Merely a grain of sand!

Fan Yue destroyed the Soul Extermination Formation.

Then the second layer, third layer, fourth layer, fifth layer.........

Fan Yue: (O_o)??

Is this correct?

Even though Fan Yue was strong, he couldn’t withstand this many formations all at once.

Fan Yue gritted his teeth, "I don’t believe you still have more."

In the end, he really did.

Fan Yue clenched his teeth, using every ounce of his strength, and finally broke through twelve layers of the Soul Extermination Formation!

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, what awaited him was the blazing true fire.

The scorching flames instantly surrounded him; this was the true fire from the Shushan alchemy chamber.

Fan Yue felt like he was inside a giant furnace.

After finally breaking through the furnace,

the temperature around him dropped sharply, and crystal-clear, beautiful ice lotuses slowly began to bloom.

These ice lotuses emitted bone-piercing cold, like countless cold, sharp arrows shooting directly at Fan Yue.

In an instant, he felt as though he had fallen into an endless ice cave, the coldness seeping into his bones.

In this way, Fan Yue was at one moment trapped in a sea of flames, enduring the scorching heat of true fire.

Then, he was trapped in an ice cave, bearing the harsh cold brought by the ice lotuses.

This torturous sensation of being caught between fire and ice made life feel worse than death.

But Fan Yue still didn’t give up; he only had one belief in his heart.

Love!!!

Yes, it was love.

The image of Lin Wanqing appeared before his eyes.

The past, every moment, every detail.

In this life, I still haven’t told you I love you.

Fan Yue growled.

Finally, the figure appeared before him.

"Your body is mine."

Fan Yue muttered words under his breath and charged straight at Li Xuanxiao.

In the blink of an eye, the power of his soul surged like a roaring tide, flooding into Li Xuanxiao's body.

However, just as Fan Yue successfully seized the body, thinking everything was under his control, an unexpected change occurred!

Almost at the same moment, he felt something unprecedentedly wrong.

"Not good!"

Fan Yue silently screamed in his heart, but by then it was already too late to escape.

Because that body tightly bound his soul within it.

No matter how Fan Yue struggled or resisted, he couldn’t break free from the confinement of this body.

At the same time, Fan Yue fearfully discovered that a huge figure had appeared before his eyes—It was the golden body manifestation of the Confucian sage!

The golden body emanated a dazzling golden light.

Those brilliant golden rays shot mercilessly towards Fan Yue’s body like countless sharp arrows.

All that could be heard were heartbreaking screams, as Fan Yue’s soul was pierced and torn under the assault of these golden lights, filled with unbearable pain.

He desperately tried to resist this terrifying attack, but unfortunately, the disparity in power was vast, and his efforts seemed utterly powerless.

"........"

Li Xuanxiao sensed an intrusion but didn’t know it was Fan Yue.

He didn’t get distracted; he had made sure there were no flaws in the setup.

He only needed to face the thunder tribulation with full concentration.

Li Xuanxiao shook his robe.

A first-grade Golden Core, a four-nine small tribulation, each thunderbolt with its own power.

But it didn’t seem as strong as he had thought.

Did it succeed...?

Li Xuanxiao felt the power within his body,

Hmm? Wait!

It seemed like he had triggered a hidden effect.

What Li Xuanxiao didn’t know was that, after he had completely killed Fan Yue just now,

the karmic cycle had returned to him.

The heavens provided a blessing, the luck was added.

Thus, the generous heavens decided to prepare something big for Li Xuanxiao.
