Chapter 349 Merit and Virtue Bestowed, Star-Locking Net
The clouds of calamity were as dark as ink, churning ceaselessly.
Lightning danced within it, like silver snakes slithering about.
A sense of oppressive fear permeated the air.
However, under such overwhelming power, a golden light shield emitted a soft glow, firmly protecting Chu Lengyu within it.
"What is that?" The arrogant young man's eyes were full of doubt.
The man in blue had a deep gaze and remained silent, as if he were pondering something.
The fat man in the yellow robe stared wide-eyed, his face full of astonishment, and muttered, "Could this be... merit?"
Just then, a hoarse yet majestic female voice came from the demonic energy behind them: "You guessed right, and what she possesses is not ordinary merit, but Heavenly merit!"
Upon hearing this, the arrogant young man looked even more puzzled.
He turned to look at the fat man in the yellow robe, hoping he could provide an answer.
Surprised, the fat man in the yellow robe explained, "Whether you are a cultivator or a mortal, as long as you have good intentions and do good deeds, you can accumulate merit. Merit not only brings the protection of heaven and earth, but also has many wonderful uses, such as enhancing cultivation and improving luck."
He paused, then continued, “There are two kinds of merit in the world. One is human merit, which is obtained by helping others and doing good deeds; the other is heavenly merit, which is far more precious than human merit. It can only be obtained through earth-shattering feats such as saving the world and quelling great calamities, and represents the recognition and protection of the heavens.”
“Using Heavenly Merit can not only turn misfortune into good fortune and disaster into auspiciousness, but it can also transform into protective divine light to resist the invasion of external evils. Such wondrous effects are far beyond what human merit can achieve.” After the fat man in the yellow robe finished speaking, a look of longing appeared on his face.
After hearing the explanation from the fat man in the yellow robe, the arrogant young man suddenly understood and bowed to the fat man in the yellow robe to express his gratitude.
Amidst the surging demonic energy behind her, the female cultivator at the Mahayana stage continued in a hoarse voice, "This woman actually possesses Heavenly Dao merit protecting her. It seems that this Star-Locking Net is indispensable."
With a gentle wave of her hand, a beam of blue light shot out from the demonic energy, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, heading straight for the horizon.
The blue light suddenly unfolded in the air, transforming into a giant, all-encompassing net. The net's fibers were crystal clear, emitting a faint blue light, and continuously spreading outwards.
It is like a blue fishing net, firmly enveloping the entire Great Xia world.
This Star-Locking Net is a special magical artifact designed to seal off the lower realms, incorporating extremely profound array formations and spatial principles.
Once unleashed, it can block all spatial manipulations, making it difficult even for an eighth-tier expert to break through its blockade.
For this reason, the number of Lock Star Networks is extremely small and precious, and they can only be seen at the large-scale auctions of the Myriad Star Alliance.
The mother nest bestowed this treasure precisely because it valued this operation, to ensure that nothing went wrong.
This Mahayana female cultivator did not use this treasure immediately because she felt that capturing a mere Nascent Soul cultivator was not worth the effort, as the other party could not escape her grasp. There was no need to waste such a precious Star-Locking Net.
But when she saw the light of heavenly merit emanating from Chu Lengyu, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, fearing that the target would escape. That's why she decisively took out the Star Locking Net.
Not only her, but also the fat man in the yellow robe and the others looked at the ever-spreading giant blue net with expressions of regret.
A single Star-Locking Net could be exchanged for dozens of Nascent Soul stage furnaces, but now it's only used to prevent a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator from escaping after undergoing tribulation. The price is simply too high.
They never expected that Chu Lengyu actually possessed the power of Heavenly Dao merit.
Whether it is human merit or heavenly merit, it is a rare treasure for cultivators.
They can not only help cultivators break through cultivation bottlenecks and improve their luck, but also resist external evils and turn bad luck into good.
There is also the legendary Merit Pool, where one can exchange merit for supreme treasures, or even ascend to immortality on the spot.
Even righteous cultivators find it difficult to obtain Heavenly Merit, let alone demons like them.
Therefore, the power of merit emanating from Chu Lengyu shocked them greatly.
At this moment, Chu Lengyu was protected by merit, and her whole body was shining with golden light.
The power of the Six-Nine Tribulation Lightning seemed to be weakened under her golden light, unable to harm her in the slightest.
The demons were certain that the Heavenly Dao Merit she possessed was limited and would soon be exhausted, so they refrained from making any rash moves and simply watched from the sidelines, waiting for the right opportunity.
However, no matter how many lightning bolts struck, the golden light on Chu Lengyu's body never dimmed, burning fiercely like an inextinguishable flame.
In the blink of an eye, the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation has reached its final round, its power multiplied.
Seeing this, the fat man in the yellow robe had no choice but to summon the white jade gourd in his hand, which transformed into a beam of light that enveloped him in order to resist the terrifying tribulation lightning.
Because they had rashly intervened in the tribulation, the tribulation lightning was now striking them, the bystanders, from time to time, and its power was even stronger than that of Chu Lengyu, the one undergoing the tribulation.
The man in blue could no longer remain calm and exclaimed in shock, "How could she possibly have so much merit?"
He had once secretly instigated others to cause calamities in a certain lower realm in an attempt to save the world and gain merit, but instead incurred a lot of karma, so he is now extremely jealous.
Chu Lengyu sneered inwardly.
I am grateful to the Parasitic Plague God for his self-destruction, which enabled me to obtain the power of Heavenly Merit.
The Heavenly Dao, existing in the darkness, seemed to recognize her merit in fighting demons and saving the world, and thus bestowed Heavenly merit upon her. Even the Heavenly Dao of the Great Xia world also bestowed something upon her.
She knew that this power of merit would be the key to her safely passing through this tribulation.
The lightning bolts, like dragons, crashed down with devastating power.
However, protected by the power of merit, Chu Lengyu was like a god clad in golden armor, easily withstanding the lightning attack.
Despite the bombardment of the golden light protecting her, it failed to harm her in the slightest.
She secretly became wary of the impending inner demon tribulation and everything that would follow.
