Chapter 1078: Are You Scared or What?
“Hea… Heavenly Lightning G.o.d?” Lan Xingyang was dumbstruck.
“The master of all lightning?” Gu Yu turned to An Lin with astonishment on its face.
An Lin’s words were simply too much of a shock. All of the mighty figures present were dumbstruck once again, and they still hadn’t come to their senses.
Waves of shock were also surging through Lan Xiaoni’s heart. She didn’t think An Lin would dare to go this far!
However, she could only try her best to maintain a poker face in order to not blow their covers.
An Lin clasped his hands behind his back with a faint smile. “That’s right!”
Some of the Spirit Fish Clan mighty figures were unwilling to accept this and roared in retort, “What a load of nonsense! How could that be possible?”
“No, there… there really is a possibility for that to be the truth…” Yu Feiyu of the Spirit Fish Clan suddenly rebuked the mighty figures of her own clan, “Haven’t you heard of one of An Lin’s other t.i.tles? The Lord of Transcendence?”
None of the mighty figures here were idiots. All of them immediately knew what Yu Feiyu was referring to, and they all fell silent as they turned to An Lin with astonishment on their faces.
Gu Yu wobbled its head from side to side. “I was wondering how someone could manipulate divine lightning. This is a power that has transcended beyond the powers of laws! Turns out it was just the Heavenly Dao playing a game with itself… It all makes sense now…”
Many of the other mighty figures also came to their senses.
That’s right, if there was one living being in this world that astounded people the most in their use of lightning, it would not be Emperor Tian Huang of the Heavenly Court. It would be none other than the An Lin standing right before them!
He was the Lord of Transcendence who could manipulate even divine lightning!
“No! That alone is not enough to verify who you are. It could simply be that you have a unique const.i.tution or you possess a special cultivation method.” Lan Xingyang quickly calmed himself down and expressed his doubts.
An Lin seemed to have already predicted that someone would be skeptical toward his claims. His smiling expression did not s.h.i.+ft in the slightest. “Underling Lan’s power is the ability to manipulate all water-type spell techniques, while my power is the ability to manipulate all lightning-type spell techniques. As many of you will know, I can even manipulate divine lightning! In comparison, mere Dao Integration Stage lightning-type spell techniques…”
Lan Xingyang’s eyes narrowed. “Oh? What are you trying to say?”
An Lin looked around at all of the mighty figures with a hint of arrogance in his eyes as he spread open his arms. “I’m not targeting anyone here. All I’m saying is, any lightning-type spell technique unleashed by anyone here is just trash in my eyes!”
“Gasp…”
All of the mighty figures’ eyes widened as they stared at An Lin in astonishment.
Even Tina and the Jade Bone Immortal Bug could no longer remain calm.
The Jade Bone Immortal Bug transmitted her voice, “Sister Little Na, hasn’t Master gone too far with his flexing? His words have just turned a bunch of powerful mighty figures against him!”
Tina transmitted her shaky voice in reply, “It should be… probably… ok… I’ve already prepared a spatial divine technique in secret. If we really do encounter any life-threatening danger, I’ll get the both of you out of here even if it means giving up my life!”
An Lin ignored everyone’s antagonistic expression as his expression became even more aloof and arrogant. “If any of you are unconvinced, blast me with lightning all you want! It’s my loss if I let even a single shred of a lightning strike me!”
All of the mighty figures felt as if they should just maintain expressions of astonishment as it was too much of a ha.s.sle to transition between facial expressions over and over again.
What astonis.h.i.+ng confidence!
Was this the poise of the master of lightning, the Heavenly Lightning G.o.d?
It had to be said, An Lin’s confidence and arrogance had convinced many of the mighty figures present.
Of course, some were still unconvinced and were itching to have a go at him.
“Alright!” Lan Xingyang stood up first with battle intent surging from his body. “Seeing as that’s the case, then allow me to experience your power firsthand!”
A Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure was taking the stage, while all of the other mighty figures instantly settled back down in their seats.
Dao Integration Stage lightning was capable of instantly reducing a Return to Void Stage mighty figure into a plume of smoke! Lan Xingyang was definitely the best examiner of An Lin’s claims.
“Big Boss An Lin…” Lan Xiaoni cast a concerned glance toward An Lin.
An Lin offered a smile in consolation. “Don’t worry. I won’t do something unless I have confidence. Stand a bit further away so that you don’t get hurt by the shockwaves.”
Soon, everyone had evacuated to a safe distance away from An Lin.
“Be on your guard, Mr. An Lin. I’m not going to hold back, so don’t blame me if you die,” Lan Xingyang said in a slow voice as he made a hand seal.
Vital energy instantly surged within a radius of several dozen kilometers as gale-force winds howled. Dazzling blue lightning lit up the entire sky, and each and every bolt was imbued with the extremely fearsome power of the divine dao.
All of the mighty figures immediately evacuated even further away from An Lin.
Lan Xingyang had even unleashed his power of the divine dao! He was not here to fool around!
Soon, the lightning converged to form a blue whale, and each time it whipped its tail, the s.p.a.ce around it would fracture and collapse. The monstrous might emanating from its body struck fear into the hearts of all of the Return to Void Stage mighty figures present.
It was quite clear that this blue whale was capable of killing even a Return to Void Final Stage mighty figure.
The blue whale bowed its body before it abruptly shot forth at a blinding speed, cras.h.i.+ng toward An Lin with an overwhelming destructive power!
Tina, the Jade Bone Immortal Bug, and Lan Xiaoni all had their hearts in their mouths as they stared intently at the blue whale lightning technique, which was bright enough to blind them if they stared at it for too long.
In contrast, An Lin was completely calm and a.s.sured as he extended a single finger.
Crack…
A snapshot of the world seemed to have been frozen in time.
The blue whale came to an abrupt halt, and only the lightning that lit up the entire night sky, as well as the ma.s.sive spatial fractures in its wake, indicated just how devastatingly powerful it was.
An Lin pointed his index finger at Lan Xingyang.
“p.i.s.s off!”
A cold command was issued.
The blue whale suddenly changed directions and hurtled toward Lan Xingyang with an even more terrifying power!
Lan Xingyang’s expression s.h.i.+fted drastically as he unleashed a huge palm using the power of the divine dao to keep the blue whale at bay.
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted.
Lightning exploded, and the power of annihilation pulverized everything around the explosion!
Some of the closest mighty figures didn’t have time to react and were even wounded and hurled into the distance by the terrifying shockwaves.
When the lightning dissipated, Lan Xingyang still stood at the same spot, but his hands were a little black and charred…
All of the mighty figures stared at the scenes before their eyes with incredulity. An Lin had… injured Lan Xingyang?
“What he said about being able to control all kinds of lightning… It was all true!”
“Then he really is…”
Many of the Spirit Fish Clan and Heavenly Turtle Tribe mighty figures turned to the man in a white robe with scorching awe and veneration in their eyes.
Lan Xingyang took a deep breath. “Not only were you able to manipulate my lightning technique, but you were also able to send it back to me with an even more fearsome power… Even Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures might not be capable of this, yet a Soul Formation Stage cultivator like you is capable of doing so…”
The expression in his eyes had completely changed when he looked at An Lin, and he extended a polite salute. “Apologies for any offense I might have caused, Heavenly Lightning G.o.d. I hope you won’t take it to heart!”
After witnessing An Lin reversing Lan Xingyang’s devastating attack, most of the mighty figures present had already believed An Lin’s claims.
Now that Lan Xingyang had also clearly subscribed to this belief, everyone was convinced.
The man standing before them was the master of lightning, the Heavenly Lightning G.o.d!
