Chapter 673: The Enraged Lightning Tribulation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
That’s right, everything would be fine if his father were here.
Emperor Yi Deng was so powerful; he would definitely be able to scatter the lightning clouds and save him.
Tears of remorse flowed down the little boy’s cheeks as he looked up at the fearsome lightning.
How had it come to this? What had he done wrong?
Laden took a deep breath as the fear in his eyes was slowly replaced by determination.
Nothing was set in this world, and no tribulation transcendence was truly hopeless. There had to be some hope within all the despair. Perhaps he would be able to transcend this lightning tribulation and forge the Paramount Dao!
Ardor and zeal coursed through Laden’s blood, and his depression was wiped away and replaced by unyielding determination.
He raised a finger to the sky, and his aura soared as a crimson suit of arm appeared over his body. “Come, tribulation lightning! No matter how powerful you are, the mighty Laden will be able to conquer you!”
Boom boom boom…
Golden lightning converged overhead, and the space around it was shattered into a series of spatial rifts in a cobweb formation. At the very center, a black hole had appeared in which there was no color aside from the bright golden light of the tribulation lightning.
“Gasp…”
An Lin and the others retreated another kilometer upon seeing this.
A sense of profound respect welled up in their hearts as they looked at Laden’s fearless expression.
“Laden is pretty impressive to be able to conquer his fear in the face of such terrifying tribulation lightning,” Merlin exclaimed with a sincere expression.
“It’s just too bad that he messed with someone he couldn’t afford to mess with.”
Cassidy’s eyes lingered on An Lin’s face as she spoke in a slow voice.
An Lin nodded. “I respect him for his courage, so I plan to give him a moving and tragic death. ”
“What do you mean by that?” everyone asked.
A slight smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he too pointed a finger up at the sky.
“Lightning Amplification Technique!”
Invisible ripples proliferated outward, and the golden lightning that had already taken shape suddenly glowed with an even more dazzling brightness as it tore through the entire sky while sending tremors running through heaven and earth with its overwhelming might.
At that moment, the Golden Void Lightning transformed from the lightning of death to become the lightning of annihilation!
Everyone: “…”
Laden looked up at the sky, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
“How could it be so powerful… Th-this doesn’t make sense!”
“But it doesn’t matter! I am the mighty Laden who is going to defy the natural order and reign supreme over this world! This divine lightning is nothing to me…”
A crimson sword appeared in his hand as he activated all his mystic techniques at once. The crimson sword glowed with a dazzling light, and the wave of crimson appeared to be resisting the golden light from the Golden Void Lightning.
Crack…
As the space in the sky completely cracked open, the lightning of annihilation finally descended.
In that instant, golden light seemed to tear through chaos, taking the world back to the moment when it first came into existence.
The lightning imbued with the might of the heavens seemed to be the only thing left between heaven and earth.
The earth-shattering crimson sword? Pulverized!
The indestructible crimson armor? Pulverized!
Everything within this world was blasted into oblivion as if it had all been an illusion.
In the end, the golden lightning struck Laden and instantly reduced him to particles even tinier than molecules as he disappeared from this world.
Not only that, but the earth within a radius of over a kilometer also disappeared instantaneously, as if it had evaporated out of existence. Even that White Realm Stone, which was supposedly able to withstand all attacks below the strength of the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage was also annihilated…
Everything had been completely and utterly annihilated.
Boom!
Only now did a deafening clap of thunder travel into everyone’s ears.
The sound waves from the thunderclap sent violent tremors through heaven and earth, and the gale-force winds that swept through the air instantly uprooted countless trees. In that instant, everything within this world was torn apart by the boundless golden lightning, as if Armageddon had descended!
After that, heaven and earth fell silent again, as if it had just completed a certain mission.
The lightning in the sky disappeared along with the dark clouds.
Sunlight shone down upon heaven and earth as color returned to the world.
Only the bottomless, abyssal crater in the ground acted as a memento for the earth-shattering phenomenon that had just taken place.
An Lin, Tobias, Xiao Ze, Cassidy, Merlin, and Tobias all looked down blankly at the gargantuan crater down below while fear lingered in their hearts.
“This was just a small f*cking lighting tribulation?” Tobias’s lips twitched.
“And thus, the man who held ambitious aspirations of defying the natural order was reduced to oblivion before he even had a chance to yell…” Cassidy delivered a eulogy in a quiet voice.
Xiao Ze had already reverted back to his human form, and his body trembled as he hugged the black brick tightly to his chest. “Thank God Master told me to fall back. If I hadn’t escaped in time, I would’ve most likely been blasted into nothingness along with that bastard!”
Power of that magnitude was not something the black brick could withstand.
After all, the black brick could only block attacks from one direction. However, that bolt of lightning seemed to be a bolt of annihilation lightning that was imbued with the unadulterated wrath of the heavens. It was a three hundred and sixty degree attack with no blind spots. Anyone below the Dao Integration Stage would have immediately been annihilated by that monstrous attack.
Even An Lin, who had never been afraid of lightning could distinctly feel that he couldn’t have manipulated that bolt of lightning with his Lightning Manipulation Technique. That bolt of Golden Void Lightning had already transcended into an extremely mysterious domain that was outside of his control.
“That bolt of lightning was very powerful, but we should still verify Laden’s death,” An Lin suggested.
No one had any objections to this. Laden had too many trump cards, and even Tobias wasn’t able to kill him after drawing on the power of the Blood Patriarch. Hence, it was best to make sure that he was dead.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief after discovering nothing.
Very good, that meant Laden was well and truly dead!
This was not a good place to stay, and An Lin and the others immediately set forth to unite with Xu Xiaolan’s group.
“How did you go, An Lin? Is Laden dead?” Xu Xiaolan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing An Lin return unscathed.
“He sure is! He was blasted to death by a bolt of tribulation lightning!” An Lin replied with a smug smile.
“He was killed by a bolt of tribulation lightning?!”
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao and the others were all shocked to hear this.
“It’s a bit complicated, so I’ll tell you all about the specifics once we get back. All you need to know is that there is no enemy who can’t be killed by the Tamer of Divine Lightning!” An Lin said with a calm expression.
Everyone: “…”
Laden’s death was definitely going to create quite a stir, and a war was going to sweep through the Dark Marshlands.
Cassidy, Merlin, and Tobias had to return to their sects in order to avoid suspicion from the Blood Tribe Emperors.
Bryce had once been Laden’s guard and subordinate, so there was no way he could go back. Hence, he transformed into a small seedling before nestling on An Lin’s head to obscure his identity and follow the Holy Leader.
Cassidy and the others were extremely envious upon seeing this.
Thus, everyone split up into two groups before flying away in opposite directions.
Within the Divine Palace of Life.
A certain jade badge suddenly cracked.
Emperor Yi Deng, who was up to a critical juncture in his research on a certain mystic technique, suddenly flared up with unadulterated rage.
Boom!
A crimson pillar of light punctured the roof of the Divine Palace of Life before soaring straight into the heavens.
A thunderous, enraged voice erupted across the earth, “Who killed my son?!”
“I will relegate the perpetrator and their entire family to the pits of hell where they shall be tormented for eternity!”
