As time ticked by, the Nature Ancient Wood was completely enveloped by purple lightning.
Even from a distance, one could feel the wild destructive power contained within the lightning, imbued with an aura of annihilation.
Yet, bizarrely, the lightning, capable of easily destroying metal and stone, or even shattering mountains, could not harm a single leaf of the Nature Ancient Wood.
This was the arrogance unique to troop buildings within a territory, as if they were granted an invincible golden body.
After an unknown period, the purple lightning that had covered the entire Nature Ancient Wood abruptly vanished.
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the lightning hadn't disappeared but had instead penetrated the Nature Ancient Wood to attack its spirit.
This was likely the "attack transfer" mentioned in the information prompt.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo faintly heard an exasperated voice from within the Nature Ancient Wood.
"What the heck? Isn't the heavenly tribulation supposed to attack the main body? Why are you attacking my spirit?"
In fact, under normal circumstances, the Saintly Heavenly Tribulation indeed only attacked the main body.
Only the body that endured the tempering of the heavenly tribulation would become a true "Immortal Saint Body."
As for the soul, it would only undergo tempering and transformation when one ascended to the Divine Tier and condensed their divine spark.
However, due to the involvement of the troop building, the Saintly Heavenly Tribulation had undergone an attack transfer. Thus, Mu Ya's physical body was unharmed, while she, as the spirit, was targeted by the tribulation.
As Xiao Mo's heart was filled with apprehension, he heard a wild and unrestrained feminine cry.
This was Mu Ya's voice, completely at odds with her usual sweet and gentle demeanor.
"It's merely a Saintly Heavenly Tribulation. If you were to attack my main body, perhaps I would fear you a little, but if you dare to attack my soul, then it is destined that I shall successfully overcome the tribulation!"
"The Nature Ancient Wood clan has nurtured countless natural wood people, and their strength lies in their formidable souls! Come... make the lightning even more powerful!"
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Mo's face was filled with astonishment.
Who would have thought that the usually sweet and gentle Mu Ya possessed such a bold and uninhibited side?
This fiery personality and arrogant tone were incredibly vivid.
Time passed, and an unknown duration elapsed.
In any case, even Xian Kuang's evolution was completed.
After consuming a full five low-grade evolution blueprints, Xian Kuang, living up to expectations, successfully evolved to the level of a Heaven-tier commander.
His current strength tier also successfully advanced to the peak of the Spiritual Tier, just a hair's breadth away from the Monarch Tier.
As for Mu Ya, she was still enduring the tempering of the Saintly Heavenly Tribulation.
Occasionally, Mu Ya's increasingly wild voice and faint groans of pain could be heard.
After approximately another hour, Mu Ya's voice finally faded completely.
At that very moment, the Nature Ancient Wood suddenly radiated brilliant light.
Clear, emerald green light illuminated the entire night sky, making the entire city appear as bright as day.
It even lit up the vast Cang Mang Forest, resembling a green moon in the night sky.
Had it succeeded?
Xiao Mo looked at the brilliant light, his heart filled with immense joy.
The physical form of the Nature Ancient Wood had not changed; it remained over a hundred meters tall. However, the life and natural spiritual energy emanating from it were incredibly pure and concentrated.
Even the few natural wood people cultivating beneath the Nature Ancient Wood began to glow with golden light, on the verge of breaking through.
They were all at the peak of their current tiers, and after instantly absorbing a large amount of life and natural spiritual energy, they directly achieved breakthroughs in their strength.
At this very moment.
The light from the Nature Ancient Wood intensified further, almost becoming the most dazzling existence in the entire Endless Abyss region.
Its released light could be seen even from hundreds of kilometers away.
The next moment.
A graceful and beautiful figure floated out from the tree trunk.
She possessed exquisite beauty and a perfect physique with golden proportions.
She wore a green dress conjured by natural spiritual energy, her bare, fair feet treading on empty air.
With every step, ripples would emanate from beneath her exquisite jade feet.
It was the spirit of the Nature Ancient Wood – Mu Ya.
"Congratulations, Mother!"
Mu Ling, the wood person priest, and Mu Ke, along with the other natural wood people, gathered around, looking at Mu Ya with immense excitement and offering their congratulations.
Mu Ya smiled and nodded, "You are all here!"
Mu Ling respectfully replied, "Reporting to Mother, our tribe's legion arrived here this morning, and the expeditionary war by the Zhuxian Shimo Alliance has concluded!"
"Under the wise command of the Lord, nearly seventy thousand enemy soldiers have been completely annihilated!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ya merely nodded nonchalantly.
She was not surprised by this outcome, as she had already known that the Lord was fully prepared.
Afterward, Mu Ya sensed her internal condition.
The natural spiritual energy within her body was more than ten times vaster than before, its purity significantly enhanced, and faint traces of the power of rules could be felt within her strength.
There were even some residual heavenly tribulation lightning bolts, constantly strengthening her body and soul.
She was no longer just a spirit but had been forged into a true Saint Body by the Saintly Heavenly Tribulation.
Even if her physical body were destroyed now, she would still be a true Saint-tier expert.
After rooting herself in the Wood People's tribe and cultivating for nearly a thousand years, being stuck at the peak Monarch Tier for several hundred years, and failing to break through hundreds of times, she had finally succeeded.
Mu Ya found it difficult to suppress her inner excitement.
She had intended to let loose, embrace her other side, and laugh wildly, but she forcefully held back.
Because she realized that the Lord was currently observing her, and she absolutely could not tarnish her lady-like image in front of the Lord.
"Mother, are you truly promoted to the Saint Tier and achieved the position of Saint?"
Only at this moment did Mu Ling hesitantly inquire.
Mu Ya smiled proudly and said, "Of course! My child, I am now a true Saint! Looking at the strength of the spiritual energy within you, it seems you are not far from breaking through to the Saint Tier either!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Mu Ling's face.
"Mother, my aptitude is limited, and it is very difficult for me to successfully break through to the Saint Tier. Fortunately, the Lord gave me an evolution blueprint that can raise my growth potential to the middle-grade Saint Tier, making breakthrough to the Saint Tier much easier."
Hearing this, Mu Ya glanced at Mu Ling with envy.
This was not just "much easier"; it meant a hundred percent certainty of success!
After becoming a troop building of the Immortal Demon Tribe, she had also learned about the secrets of inter-world lords and understood what growth potential limits were and how troop advancement worked.
As long as Mu Ling's growth potential reached the Saint Tier level, and with sufficient spiritual energy, breaking through to the Saint Tier would be an assured success.
It would not be like her, who had failed to break through hundreds of times.
The reason for her success this time was mainly due to the Lord constantly leveling up her physical body, which brought her immense benefits, thus allowing her to break through to the Saint Tier.
Subsequently, Mu Ya nodded and smiled, "We can use the blueprint to evolve later. I will lend you my strength!"
"Thank you, Mother!"
Upon hearing Mu Ya's words, Mu Ling said excitedly.
She had been waiting for her mother to emerge from seclusion so that she could borrow her mother's strength to achieve a successful evolution in one go.
Mu Ya said no more. She moved her feet and stepped before Xiao Mo, bowing respectfully to him.
"Dear Lord, thank you for your help! Without your protection and assistance, I would not have been able to smoothly advance to the Saint Tier!"
Xiao Mo smiled gently and waved his hand, saying, "Congratulations! This is the result of your own hard work!"
Mu Ya responded with a sweet smile, showing no trace of the uninhibited demeanor she displayed while battling the Saintly Heavenly Tribulation.
Xiao Mo had reason to believe that Mu Ya had always concealed her true nature in front of him.
Although she feigned sweetness and gentleness, a violent streak definitely existed deep within her.
Just then.
A message prompt interface appeared before Xiao Mo.
After reading about the chain reactions following Mu Ya's advancement, Xiao Mo couldn't help but gasp...
