Chapter 1341: The Final Bolt of Divine Lightning
An Lin was basking in the joy of attaining this seventh spatial sense.
As the Golden Void Lightning continued to fall.
His observation of s.p.a.ce became more and more profound.
His utilization of spatial power also became more and more proficient.
Everything was progressing very smoothly, so smoothly that he appeared to be cultivating with lightning rather than transcending a tribulation.
“As expected of a man of great fortune like An Lin. Even the heavens are helping him cultivate. How impressive…” Chang’e couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of An Lin’s elated and composed expression even as more and more tribulation lightning crashed down upon him.
“Could it be because the heavens have given up as it knows that Idiot An can manipulate divine lightning anyway?” Yue Tu speculated as she munched on chips in Chang’e’s arms.
Chang’e’s eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement. “That may well be the case!”
Meanwhile…
Atop Pan Long Mountain.
An Lin stood alone as bolts of terrifying Golden Void Lightning crashed down upon him.
Seventy of the eighty-one bolts of Golden Void Lightning had already fallen.
In the sky above, the Golden Void Lightning was becoming more and more fearsome.
Each bolt of lightning could easily shatter s.p.a.ce now, and countless bolts of them flashed above the dark clouds.
However, they were still nothing to An Lin’s divine body.
One had to realize that with An Lin’s body of the War G.o.d, even if he lay on the ground and a Return to Void Stage mighty figure attacked him all they wanted, they still might not be able to break through his defenses.
“An Lin’s tribulation transcendence is progressing quite smoothly. I’d much rather see this than see him create an earth-shattering scene.” An elated smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face, and she heaved a sigh of relief at how smoothly An Lin’s tribulation transcendence was progressing.
In her heart, nothing mattered more than An Lin’s safety.
It would be ideal for her if he could transcend his tribulation without a hitch.
The Golden Void Lightning was becoming more and more terrifying, such that even many of the Return to Void Stage celestial immortals were being struck by a sense of asphyxiation from every bolt after the seventieth.
Before they knew it, the eightieth bolt of tribulation lightning had fallen.
The terrifying lightning power imbued within was enough to make Yang Jian and Chang’e’s hearts jolt with shock, and just the residual power was enough to reduce the height of Pan Long Mountain’s peak by several hundred meters.
An Lin’s aura had become extremely vast and ethereal at this point, and his eyes seemed to encompa.s.s this entire world.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, yin, and yang—nine types of vast power revolved within his divine body as he absorbed the Golden Void Lightning, constantly refining his divine body and taking it to new heights.
He was not afraid of this tribulation lightning. He hadn’t even used his Lightning Manipulation Technique at all up to this point, and he had easily made it to the final bolt of divine lightning.
“Come on then, show me the power of this final bolt of tribulation lightning!” An Lin murmured as he looked up into the sky.
Tens of thousands of bolts of Golden Void Lightning tore through the dense, dark clouds as bursts of lightning might cascaded downward, striking fear into the onlookers’ hearts.
An extremely thick bolt of Golden Void Lightning appeared, as if it was the ruler of all Golden Void Lightning. Its emergence lit up the entire sky, making it as bright as day even with the blanket of dark clouds obscuring the light of the sun.
Fizzle… Crackle…
The s.p.a.ce within a radius of over a kilometer was beginning to crumble from the lightning might imbued within this bolt of lightning.
Each of the Heavenly Court immortals drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.
If this bolt of lightning was to fall upon them, all mighty figures below Return to Void Final Stage would undoubtedly be reduced to ashes and dust in the blink of an eye.
“Oh… This is a bolt of tribulation lightning worthy of a freak like him…” The Celestial Thearch’s eyes finally lit up.
An Lin was also getting excited. Even though a safe tribulation transcendence was a good thing, he couldn’t help but feel like there was something missing. He knew what it was now. It was this feeling of being alive!
Only tribulation lightning that could endanger his life made him feel more alive than ever!
However, the lightning was only powerful enough to threaten him. He still had confidence that he would be able to transcend this tribulation.
“Hahaha… come, show me your power!” An Lin chortled with glee, and his battle intent surged as if he was a War G.o.d standing proudly at the pinnacle of the mountain.
In the sky above, the king of all Golden Void Lightning roared with rage. It condensed to decrease in size, but its power was further elevated…
Everyone held their breaths and stared up at the lightning in the sky.
The final bolt of Golden Void Lightning sprang into action!
Whoos.h.!.+
It pierced through s.p.a.ce before descending with boundless lightning might and the wrath of the very heavens!
An Lin had gooseb.u.mps popping up all over his body.
Heaven and earth had been colored completely golden by this one bolt of lightning!
An Lin and all of the surrounding spectators were all anxious to the extreme at this moment.
And then…
Pfff…
The sound of a deflating balloon erupted.
The Golden Void Lightning suddenly disappeared.
“This…”
Everyone was dumbstruck upon seeing this.
An Lin was also a little stunned before the scenes in front of his eyes suddenly began to blur for some reason.
The final bolt of Golden Void Lightning was no longer there, but the special spatial power emanating from it had enveloped An Lin’s entire body.
Immediately afterward.
Whoosh…!
An Lin disappeared.
The proud figure standing atop the summit of Pan Long Mountain had disappeared.
Everyone faltered again upon seeing this.
A peculiar silence ensued.
After a short while…
“Wh… where did Senior Student An Lin go?”
“My G.o.d, how did G.o.d An disappear?!”
Tens of thousands of students and teachers stared with wide eyes at the scene before their eyes.
The Heavenly Court immortals were also completely dumbstruck.
“What happened? Where did Mr. An Lin go?”
“Gasp… Could he have been blasted into nonexistence by that bolt of Golden Void Lightning?”
“Quit spouting nonsense! Mr. An Lin is the Heavenly Court’s War G.o.d, how could he be blasted into nonexistence just like that?”
“You’re right, War G.o.d An Lin is much too powerful for that!”
All of the immortals were discussing spiritedly among themselves, but they weren’t any closer to getting their questions answered.
“But he really has disappeared! Could it be…”
“No!”
“An Lin will be fine!” a beautiful woman in a jade dress spoke with a resolute expression.
Xu Xiaolan pointed up at the tribulation clouds in the sky with a firm expression. “If someone perishes during their tribulation transcendence, the tribulation clouds would dissipate. The fact that the tribulation clouds have not disappeared shows that An Lin is not dead and is still transcending his tribulation!”
Xu Xiaolan’s words instantly enlightened everyone.
Everyone’s worries were laid to rest.
“So, does that mean that An Lin was blasted into another place by the lightning?”
“We all know that Golden Void Lightning can shatter s.p.a.ce, but this is the first time that I’ve seen Golden Void Lightning capable of blasting people to other places!”
“It’s unheard of!”
“Which begs the question again. Where did An Lin go?”
Everyone fell into silence upon hearing this.
No one knew the answer to this question. Even the five Heavenly Court emperors were all sitting together with dumbstruck expressions on their faces.
“I told you An Lin’s tribulation transcendence wouldn’t be that simple!” Emperor Ziwei broke the stunned silence first.
“I initially thought the same, but the entire lightning tribulation was extremely mundane. Just when I thought that things were going to end in a mundane fas.h.i.+on like this, he disappeared into thin air!” Emperor Tian Huang ma.s.saged his brows with a helpless expression.
The Celestial Thearch heaved a forlorn sigh. “An Lin really is full of surprises…”
“So where is he now?” Emperor Chang Sheng asked.
Emperor Qing Hua was holding his divination crystal, but in the end, he shook his head with a disappointed expression. “This is the power of the heavens, so I can’t glean anything from it. We can only hope and pray that he succeeds now…”
Within a murky s.p.a.ce.
An Lin opened his eyes again, and the world around him began to come into focus again.
