2315 The Last Tribulation Lightning

After the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan exposed Duan Ling Tian's condition, he did not return to above the Tribulation Clouds. He remained there, looking indifferent.

As for the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls, most of them looked at Duan Ling Tian mockingly. They looked at him as though he was a dead man walking. After all, based on their patriarch's words, Duan Ling Tian would definitely die, and they did not doubt his words. Moreover, even if Duan Ling Tian miraculously managed to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, he would still be killed since their patriarch was here.

"I didn't expect the Young Mansion Master of the influential Azure Cloud Mansion is only outwardly strong. I thought he would be able to easily overcome the last Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation when I saw how easily he dealt with the 80th lightning bolt..."

"Me too. I thought he was going to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial… Who knew the truth is completely different!"

"Our Lord Patriarch is indeed amazing. He's able to see through Duan Ling Tian's condition and pointed it out in just a few sentences. As it turns out, Duan Ling Tian won't be able to survive the last lightning strike from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!"

"This human genius is destined to fail and die in our Human-Devil clan!"

...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening thunderclaps sounded from the Tribulation Clouds.

In the Tribulation Clouds, bolts of purple lightning like small snakes continued to flash.

"The last Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation is going to strike soon!"

At this moment, Yuwen Hao Chen finally stopped paying attention to Duan Ling Tian. After he had healed his internal injuries earlier, he had been preparing to face the 81st, or last, lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation! Naturally, he was confident about overcoming the last lightning bolt since he had the inherited technique from the Wandering Saint Palace!

'Today, I, Yuwen Hao Chen, am going to become an Eminent Celestial. The Wandering Saint Palace will stand above the Three Palaces and Six Halls!' Yuwen Hao Chen thought to himself excitedly.

The members of the Wandering Saint Palace were, naturally, excited as well.

"Lord Palace Master is going to become an Eminent Celestial soon!"

"From now on, our Wandering Saint Palace is going to become the strongest force in the Human-Devil clan!"

On the contrary, the expressions of the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls darkened slightly when they realized Yuwen Hao Chen was going to become an Eminent Celestial soon.

In general, Yuwen Hao Chen becoming an Eminent Celestial was beneficial to the Human-Devil clan. However, it was not the case for the Three Palaces and Six Halls.

...

"Brother Tian, regardless of the result, I won't leave your side..." Ke'er gazed at Duan Ling Tian resolutely. She had seen Duan Ling Tian's intense look earlier. She knew what it meant so she had prepared herself for the worst outcome.

...

In the Solitary Destructive Heaven, one of the 81 Devata Realms.

The Solitary Destructive Heaven was a vast Devata Realm. It was, naturally, bigger than the mundane realm.

At this moment, someone sighed in a misty location. The mist hid a bottomless abyss and a little floating island. The island looked like a speck of dust floating in a bottomless abyss. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see clouds and mist were moving at a moderate speed around the little island. Sword rays could be seen between the clouds and mist as well.

A small yard could be seen on the little island. The yard contained a small and unremarkable wooden house. At this moment, a tall young man could be seen sitting in front of a wooden table in the yard.

The young man looked ethereal as he sat there as though he did not belong in this world. He wore a rather shabby ash color robe. His long hair was pulled to the back. He had a pair of straight eyebrows that slant up slightly. His eyes were as bright as stars. His handsome face was a chiseled perfection. He seemed so charming that one would find it difficult to shift their attention away from him.

At this moment, the young man's knowing eyes were staring into the void.

Swoosh!

There was turbulence in the void as the reflection of a mirror-image could be clearly seen in his eyes.

If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would see that the mirror-image displayed what was happening to him in the Wandering Saint Palace as he prepared to overcome the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation...

The sound of someone scoffing coldly could be heard from behind the young man.

Currently, there were two people standing behind the young man; an old man and a young man with a strong build. The young man wore a long red robe.

It was the red-clad young man with a strong build who scoffed at the old man. He said in a low voice, "If you didn't act on your own and infuse your Sun Force into your young master's body, would your young master be in this predicament?"

The old man could not help but smile bitterly. "Lord Kuang Ling, I… I've no idea things would turn out this way..."

"Alright," the young man sitting in front of the wooden table said. His voice was calm and soothing to the ears. "Since he's not aware, he's not completely guilty. We can't blame him for this. After all, he did it out of kindness. Moreover, it might not be a bad thing for that brat." The young man looked at the purple figure in the mirror-image intently when he spoke.

"Master, what do you mean?" The red-clad young man was impudent toward the old man, but he was respectful toward the young man sitting in front of the wooden table. He was even subconsciously modest.

"You'll know what I mean if you continue to watch..." The young man smiled mysteriously and did not bother explaining his words.

The red-clad young man and old man instantly shifted their attention to the flashing scenes in the mirror-image. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity.

If Duan Ling Tian saw the old man standing next to the red-clad young man, he would definitely be shocked. The old man was none other than the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo, whom he thought had died along with the destruction of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda! Moreover, Elder Huo was no longer bound to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Who knew that those from the Devata Realm would be able to monitor what was happening in the mundane realm? What powerful and terrifying method was this?

There were merely eighty-one Devata Realms but countless mundane realms.

Currently, in one of the many unremarkable mundane realms, a group of people was waiting for the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation to strike!

"The last Tribulation Lightning is going to strike!" Duan Ling Tian felt fear in his heart. Even then, he had quietly extended his Divine Consciousness over to Ke'er and Duan Si Ling as though he wanted to hear their breaths for one last time. After all, he did not think he would be able to survive the last Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect things would turn around time and time again. It felt as though he was on a rollercoaster. When he did not think he would survive the 80th lightning bolt, the Sun Force had returned to him in the form of a Three-legged Golden Crow and helped him to overcome the lightning bolt. However, he fell into despair when he realized the Sun Force could only help him once. What remained of his Sun Force was not sufficient to help him with dealing with the 81st lightning bolt.

Boom!

Everyone felt shivers running up their spines suddenly.

"It's coming!"

An extraordinarily blinding white light burst forth from the Tribulation Clouds, causing many people to shut their eyes even though they had prepared for it.

Boom!

The deafening sound of thunder accompanied the blindingly bright white light. The thunderclap was much louder compared to before. Moreover, when thunder rang in the air, the entire Wandering Saint Palace shook as though it was going to be uprooted!
