672 I Heard You Were Going to Transcend a Tribulation?

"My God, the blood of the Holy Leader was unable to kill him…"

"Not only that, but it served the opposite purpose and indirectly helped him to make a breakthrough!"

All of them stared at the little boy within the crater with incredulity on their faces.

"Have no fear, let's kill him before he has a chance to make his breakthrough!" Xiao Ze came to his senses first and reminded everyone of this available course of action.

Cassidy and the others' eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. That's right, people who were transcending tribulations couldn't move, or they would suffer backlashes from heaven and earth. Hence, Laden had to stay rooted to the spot while he endured the lightning tribulation, which made him a sitting duck during this period of time! This was a perfect opportunity!

Xiao Ze was itching to exact revenge for the pummeling he had received at Huang Quan City, and he led the charge.

His massive dragon tail whipped through the air with earth-shattering might toward Laden, leaving a series of spatial cracks in its wake.

Right at this moment, Laden opened his mouth and out came a semi-transparent white ball, which instantly enveloped his body.

Boom!

The dragon tail collided with the white ball, but it was knocked back by the force of the impact.

The white ball stayed rooted to the spot as if it were a permanent fixture of heaven and earth. Its surface was flawless and translucent white, as if it were a perfect piece of jade, and it managed to block a full-force strike from Xiao Ze.

"Hehehe… This is the White Realm Stone that my father gave me for tribulation transcendence purposes. Only tribulation lightning can bypass its defenses, and unless you're a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, you won't even be able to scratch the surface of the White Realm Stone!"

An arrogant smile appeared on Laden's face. "I'm going to be invincible during this period of time! You better escape before I successfully transcend my tribulation."

No one expected Laden to be able to pull out a bead with such powerful defensive properties at the last moment.

However, they didn't give up, and they continued to unleash all sorts of spell techniques to try and break through the defenses of the White Realm Stone.

However, all their attempts were unfortunately in vain.

"Give up now, and you still have a chance of escaping," Laden said with a triumphant expression.

"Hehe, you really think we can't defeat you after you reach the Return to Void Intermediate Stage?" Xiao Ze sneered coldly.

"We'll still beat the sh*t out of you, daddy's boy!" Tobias clashed his fists together with a cold expression.

The veins on Laden's forehead popped with rage. He felt like his current situation exemplified the expression of a fallen dragon being pushed around by dogs.

None of these people would have dared to screw around with him like this back when he was at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage.

Boom!

Heaven and earth rumbled as a bolt of dazzling golden lightning fell from the sky, coloring the entire world gold.

The lightning broke through the White Realm Stone before crashing down upon Laden's body with a fearsome might.

"Ah…" Laden's body trembled, and his white skin became a little charred.

Cassidy's brows knitted together in a grave expression. "That Golden Void Lightning is very powerful, indicating that his strength is going to drastically increase when he breaks through to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage. We might not be able to stop him if he tries to run away then."

"This is just a small lightning tribulation of thirty-six bolts, so it won't be able to blast him to death no matter how powerful the bolts of lightning are. We should prepare a trapping formation in advance." Tobias heaved a resigned sigh as he proposed preparations for a final roll of the dice.

Everyone else nodded, and just as they were about to spring into action, they suddenly discovered that An Lin was already atop his brick as he flew into the air.

Boom!

Another bolt of golden lightning struck Laden's body.

As lightning flashed within the White Realm Stone, his aura became vaster.

"What are you doing, Holy Leader?" Cassidy yelled in alarm.

"Could it be…" Tobias' eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent.

Boom!

Golden lightning pierced through the air before crashing toward Laden again.

Lightning burst forth, coloring the entire sky golden, but the black brick was able to withstand the lightning strike!

Laden's mouth gaped open in shock as he looked up at the black brick looming over him.

In contrast, everyone else was ecstatic as they finally understood what An Lin was trying to do; he was trying to impede the divine lightning!

The divine lightning honed in specifically on its target, and its might would begin to grow even more fearsome if it encountered any impediment, and it would do so until it was able to blast through all obstacles.

The Return to Void Stage Golden Void Lightning was extremely powerful, but was it powerful enough to puncture the Chaotic Alloy Brick?

Boom!

Another even more fearsome bolt of Golden Void Lightning struck the black brick, but it remained completely unscathed.

However, An Lin was knocked back a little bit by the force of the lightning strike as he supported the black brick from below.

"Little Xiao! Come support this black brick!" An Lin yelled.

Xiao Ze immediately came to his senses before flying toward An Lin and responding with vigor, "No problem, Master. You go take a rest and just leave manual labor like this to me!"

Xiao Ze was ecstatic about being able to screw over Laden!

Expand, expand, expand…

An Lin expanded the Chaotic Alloy Brick to over a thousand feet in length before swapping places with Xiao Ze and standing off to the side as a spectator.

Xiao Ze's defensive prowess was already extremely formidable, and now, he had a giant black brick on his back that acted like a turtle shell. This combination of dragon and turtle struck despair into Laden's heart.

"You're so awesome, Holy Leader!" A seductive smile appeared on Cassidy's face as she praised with heartfelt reverence.

"Giant An Lin, when will I ever become as outstanding as you are!" Tina's eyes were practically glowing as he turned to An Lin.

"This is nothing, don't make such a big deal out of it." An Lin waved his hands with a nonchalant expression.

Rumble…

The lightning tribulation continued.

One bolt of Golden Void Lightning after another struck the Chaotic Alloy Brick on Xiao Ze's back, creating a spectacular scene of beauty that was akin to golden fireworks.

The imagery was extremely beautiful, but in Laden's eyes, it was absolutely horrifying…

The tribulation lightning became more and more powerful with each successive bolt, and it appeared as if it wouldn't rest until it broke through the Chaotic Alloy Brick.

What was it going to be like for lightning of such fearsome power to strike Laden's body?

"An Lin… f*ck you!"

Laden was overwhelmed by rage and fear, and he couldn't help but hurl an insult at An Lin.

"Swear all you want. No one is coming to save you, daddy's boy!" An Lin chuckled. Insults hurled at him by his opponents could only be taken as an acknowledgment of his own skills. After all, only an enemy that had run out of tricks would resort to instigating a war of words.

Laden's breathing accelerated as he looked up at the monstrous bolts of tribulation lightning in the sky, but he couldn't do anything.

Golden Void Lightning was extremely fearsome, and even most Return to Void Stage mighty figures would do all they could to avoid a direct confrontation with it in fear of suffering a backlash from the lightning tribulation of the Heavenly Dao.

However, Xiao Ze was an exception to this. Not only were his defenses extremely insane, but he also had the chaotic-alloy turtle shell to protect him. On top of that, the Tamer of Divine Lightning, An Lin, was there to help him out, so this was a piece of cake for him!

Before they knew it, the thirty-sixth bolt of Golden Void Lightning had already fallen, but bolts of tribulation lightning continued to fall, and they were only growing in power, as if it had sworn a vow to never give up until it struck Laden!

After the forty-ninth bolt of lightning, Xiao Ze's body trembled lightly with each successive bolt, and it was clearly becoming a little difficult for him.

After the sixty-fourth bolt of lightning, Xiao Ze's massive body was already sprawled over the white ball, and a pained expression appeared on his face.

"Oww… save me! I can't endure this even if I'm being protected by this brick…

"My son, Laden, look how hard Daddy Xiao Ze is trying for you! Are you touched?"

A grimace appeared on Xiao Ze's face, and he panted heavily, looking as if he really was in pain, but he was still extremely happy nonetheless.

"Pfff…" Laden finally threw up a mouthful of blood as he looked at the bolts of lightning that struck despair directly into his heart.

"I… I hate you all… You're all scum…."

Laden roared with rage. He was angry, he was indignant, but he also couldn't do anything.

The eightieth bolt of lightning fell, and everything within a radius of a kilometer was reduced to dust as a series of abyssal spatial rifts appeared in the air, indicating just how fearsome the bolts of lightning were.

Xiao Ze was also showing signs of overexertion as his skin began to split open.

An Lin's expression shifted, and he yelled, "Fall back, Little Xiao, that's enough!"

Xiao Ze immediately fell back as instructed.

The eighty-first bolt of Golden Void Lightning was converging in the air while the dark clouds were colored gold. Monstrous lightning might exploded outward with no restraint, as if it were threatening to crush the entire heavens.

The very heavens had been enraged!

Laden collapsed to the ground as his legs gave out from under him.

An expression of despair appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "It's over, it's all over… I won't be able to withstand lightning like this even at the height of my powers…"

At that moment, he thought of his father…
