An Lin stared at the lightning sword in his chest with incredulity on his face.
The lightning sword was imbued with peerless sharpness, and devastating lightning might spread throughout his entire body as destructive power proliferated outward.
Did his Lightning Manipulation Technique fail?
No! It should be said that he didn't react in time!
No matter where the divine lightning of tribulation lightning was drawn to, it would always be directed toward the person transcending the tribulation.
However, right when the lightning sword was drawn toward the ninety-first level, it suddenly changed its target and stabbed toward An Lin!
Everything had happened far too quickly, and An Lin was caught off guard and fell prey to the attack.
Why did it strike me instead of Liu Qianhuan? It's not like I'm the one transcending the tribulation.
An Lin was completely dumbstruck. Could it be that the divine lightning felt like its dignity had been challenged by his constant use of the Lightning Manipulation Technique and decided to attack him?
That didn't make any sense!
If the divine lightning really was this emotional, he would have been struck countless times already!
"An Lin!" Xu Xiaolan let loose a cry of surprise at the sight of An Lin being struck by the lightning sword before immediately flying toward him.
Su Qianyun followed closely behind Xu Xiaolan. Even Xuanyuan Cheng and Tang Ximen's expressions shifted drastically as they flew toward An Lin.
"Don't come any closer! I'm fine, get away from me! "An Lin yelled in a loud voice.
Everyone faltered upon hearing this.
Only then did they notice that even though the lightning sword had punctured An Lin's skin, there didn't seem to be any serious injuries aside from a hole in his clothes and some charred skin.
"A-are you really fine?" Xu Xiaolan was a little concerned.
"I'm fine." An Lin shook his head. "Aside from a little numbness, I'm really fine …"
He extended his hands and crushed the lightning sword in his chest as he spoke.
"Gasp …" Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.
He could even withstand tribulation lightning for someone else without getting injured! How terrifying!
Liu Qianhuan turned to look at An Lin, and a hint of emotion flashed through her indifferent eyes.
She began to understand why the Thunder Trial had turned to An Lin. It had used the sword to violently cut off all obsessions, not only about her mother, but also about An Lin and the others.
In particular, when An Lin was standing right before her, the lightning tribulation sword was even more severely affected by his presence.
The Lightning Tribulation was the key to breaking through to the next realm. Naturally, it would eliminate all obstacles that would affect the breakthrough.
What to do …
Liu Qianhuan suddenly discovered that it wasn't that easy to part with these things.
She still couldn't forget her mother. She couldn't forget An Lin and her friends …
Perhaps, when the last bolt of lightning fell, she would be able to sever all her obsessions with the power of the heavenly tribulation.
But for some reason, she was afraid. When she really had to face it, she had the thought of retreating.
Rumble!
The forty-second lightning bolt fell.
The lightning sword lit up the sky. This time, An Lin was completely focused on using the Lightning Manipulation Technique and didn't slack off in the slightest.
The lightning sword was guided around the top of the pagoda.
Sure enough, when it got close to him, the lightning sword suddenly changed direction and stabbed at him.
An Lin was already prepared, and he immediately adjusted his direction.
Whoosh!
The lightning sword was forcibly guided toward Liu Qianhuan.
Liu Qianhuan was in the middle of activating her sword mantra, and the projection of an ancient sword enshrouded her entire body.
The lightning sword crashed into her body and transformed into countless tiny arcs of lightning. The sword intent imbued with the Heavenly Dao flowed through her body, bringing with it not only destruction, but also creation.
Success!
A gratified smile appeared on An Lin's face.
During a tribulation transcendence, absorbing the power of tribulation lightning was the most important step.
Only by being reborn from destruction could one step onto the peerless dao. If it weren't for this, An Lin would've blocked all of the tribulation lightning for Liu Qianhuan a long time ago.
Boom boom boom …
Bolts of lightning fell one after another, and Liu Qianhuan's aura became more and more powerful.
Following the awakening of her Ancient Sword Dao Physique, her sword intent became boundlessly sharp and pierced through the heavens.
Some of the students with lower cultivation bases felt their dao hearts waver at the sight of this sword intent soaring into the sky. They even felt the urge to kneel down and worship her.
After the forty-eighth bolt of tribulation lightning fell, the rumbling of thunder in the sky had already died down.
An Lin looked up at the sky with a solemn and expectant expression.
This was the last bolt of tribulation lightning …
An extremely terrifying power was accumulating, and the boundless sword intent tore the clouds in the sky in half. A white lightning sword tore through the heavens and descended upon the world.
The lightning sword was over a hundred feet long, and it was extremely dazzling, bathing the entire heaven and earth in a vast expanse of white.
The energy imbued within the sword was extremely terrifying, and everyone felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
Crack crack. The space around the lightning sword seemed to be unable to withstand such terrifying power, and black cracks began to appear.
"This tribulation lightning … is so powerful!" An Lin stared up at the lightning sword in the sky with astonishment on his face.
Even his body of the War God would most likely be wounded by this lightning strike, and Liu Qianhuan might not be able to withstand it.
No … she definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it!
Furthermore, for some reason, using the Lightning Manipulation Technique to control Liu Qianhuan's tribulation lightning wasn't as easy as controlling his own tribulation lightning. He could only control its direction, but he couldn't control its speed or its explosive power.
This meant that its power would instantly engulf Liu Qianhuan.
Kong Mohan also realized this, and his expression shifted drastically. "No, the power of this tribulation lightning is far too terrifying! She won't be able to withstand it!"
"Is it because the Immortal Spirit Tower was able to withstand the tribulation lightning?" Bai Zhong's expression was filled with disappointment, but he didn't know what to do.
In the distance, the Celestial Thearch also shook his head and heaved a forlorn sigh. "It's not just because of the Immortal Spirit Tower. The more supremely talented a being is, the more terrifying their tribulation lightning will be. Liu Qianhuan has awakened her Ancient Sword Dao Physique, and her aptitude is astonishing, so it's only natural that her tribulation lightning would be terrifying.
"However, her foundation has yet to be perfected, and she has yet to completely let go of her obsession. Now that she's trying to use the power of the tribulation lightning to sever her obsession, this will only make the tribulation lightning even more fearsome. She's most likely going to die here … "The Celestial Thearch shook his head and sighed.
If this were the initial stage of the tribulation lightning, he could still forcibly disperse the tribulation clouds and save Liu Qianhuan's life.
However, the tribulation lightning had already reached its final stage, and even he couldn't interfere. Otherwise, he would suffer backlash from the Heavenly Dao.
Everyone else also wore nervous expressions on their faces. No matter how inexperienced they were, they were all well aware of just how terrifying this tribulation lightning was. It didn't seem to be something that a human could withstand …
Liu Qianhuan's features turned deathly pale as she sensed the terrifying power of the tribulation lightning.
She thought back to her past. She loved her mother so much, and she had so many friends that she cherished, so why did she have to sever all of these emotions?
One wrong step led to many wrong steps …
Liu Qianhuan realized where she had gone wrong. She wasn't prepared to sever all of these emotions.
She wasn't even prepared for this, so how could the tribulation lightning help her?
Gale-Force winds howled as dark clouds surged.
A white lightning sword hung high in the sky. Liu Qianhuan's body was no longer tall and straight. Instead, she was like a willow branch that was about to fall over. Two streams of tears flowed down her beautiful cheeks, but she was completely unaware of them.
She knew that she could also fear death, and she could also feel regret and reluctance.
Boom!
The white lightning sword was like a divine punishment as it descended from the heavens, creating the most dazzling light between heaven and earth.
Liu Qianhuan raised her head to look out the window to find a terrifying energy approaching through the air.
Her purple eyes were a little dull, but she caught sight of a man smiling at her with a determined and warm expression on his face.
The lightning sword fell, but it pierced through the man's chest.
Liu Qianhuan's lips parted slightly.
In the end, she was unable to repress her emotions any longer, and an urgent cry escaped her lips. "An Lin!"
