Chapter 2310 - 2310 The Arrival of the 80th Tribulation Lightning!

2310 The Arrival of the 80th Tribulation Lightning!

Duan Ling Tian knew better than anyone about his current condition. Appearance-wise he might seem okay, but, in fact, he had already spent most of his strength. Let alone the 80th lightning bolt, he might not even be able to endure the strength of the earlier lightning bolts. He had already accepted his fate. He did not even plan to resist the 80th lightning bolt since he knew it would be futile. However, Ke’er’s determination had reignited his will to live. It would upset him if he had to leave her behind.

‘I have about 30 minutes left... I must try and recover as much as possible.’ Naturally, Duan Ling Tian would not accept his fate since he had decided to fight. He consumed many wound-healing medicines regardless if they were effective or not. It was as though he had gotten them for free. It was unfortunate these medicinal pills were no longer effective because he had taken them too many times before.

Duan Ling Tian quickly closed his eyes and mobilized his Saint Origin to heal his ruptured veins and injured internal organs as much as possible so that he could face the 80th lightning bolt in the best condition possible.

Many people saw the change in Duan Ling Tian and began to discuss it among themselves.

“Why did Duan Ling Tian suddenly seem motivated when it seemed like he had given up earlier?”

Many people were calm when they saw Duan Ling Tian had solemnly accepted his fate. They could see he did not plan to put up a fight anymore. However, they were surprised when they saw the abrupt change in him. It seemed as though his will to live was reignited!

“Is it possible that Duan Ling Tian thinks he has a chance to overcome the 80th lightning bolt?”

“It’s impossible! Based on his condition, it’s unlikely he would be able to fully heal himself in a few hours, let alone half an hour. How can he possibly overcome the 80th lightning bolt?”

“What’s with his sudden change? Is he possessed?”

“I think he’s just unwilling to accept his fate. After all, some people are quite stubborn.”

“Even if he’s unwilling to accept his fate, what can he do? Don’t tell me he’s able to go against the will of Heaven and change his fate?”

The onlookers shook their heads at Duan Ling Tian. They thought his effort was futile and nothing but a waste of time.

“If I were him, I’ll definitely spend my remaining time with my family and say goodbye to them. I wonder what goes through his mind? He should spend his time with his wives and daughter instead of doing something so futile!” A Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace said as he shook his head.

Many people from the Wandering Saint Palace agreed with his words.

...

“How can he still waste his time during this critical time?” Yun Fu Ye, one of the Vice Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace and the eldest direct disciple of Yuwen Hao Chen, sneered as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was only struggling on his deathbed.

...

Shi Nan Feng smiled as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who seemed to be meditating in the distance. ‘Duan Ru Feng, your son is about to be killed by the Tribulation Lightning... I wonder what kind of expression you’d make if you’re able to witness this scene...’

Even after so many years, Duan Ru Feng was the person Shi Nan Feng hated the most. After all, Duan Ru Feng had managed to escape him. For this reason, he felt his anger slightly assuaged when he saw Duan Ru Feng’s son was about to be struck to death by the Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

...

“Brother Tian...”

“Daddy...”

Ke’er and Duan Si Ling looked at Duan Ling Tian worriedly and hopefully.

On the other hand, Gan Ru Yan and Peng Lai had both come to terms with their fates. They no longer harbored any hopes.

...

30 minutes passed by in just a blink of an eye. The 80th lightning bolt was about to strike.

The entire place fell silent. Only the deafening sounds of thunder could be heard from the Tribulation Clouds, reminding others that the Celestial Ascension Tribulation had not ended yet.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Along with the sound of thunder, the Tribulation Clouds kept rolling and brewing in the sky. Purple lightning bolts flashed ominously in the sky like pythons. It seemed as though a huge storm was brewing on the horizon. The area beneath the Tribulation Clouds turned darker, but it did not obstruct the crowd’s sight.

...

Above the Tribulation Cloud.

The Three-legged Golden Crow flew in and out of the colorful Auspicious Cloud like a flaming fairy.

A distance away from the colorful Auspicious Clouds, two figures stood like a statue. They had been there for a long time.

The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan asked the grey-clad old man next to him, “Master, it’s impossible for Duan Ling Tian to overcome the 80th lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, right?”

“If there are no surprises, he’ll definitely be killed by the 80th lightning bolt!” The grey-clad old man said.

“If there are no surprises?” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was confused. “Under such circumstances, what else can happen?”

“I’m just saying...” The grey-clad old man shook his head and his gaze was drawn to the colorful Auspicious Clouds in the distance. To be more precise, his eyes were trained on the flaming bird flying in and out of the colorful Auspicious Cloud. Naturally, he did not know the bird was called a Three-legged Crow. His eyes flashed when he gazed at the Three-legged Golden Crow as though he was mulling over something.

...

After a while, the 80th lightning bolt was finally about to strike.

Beneath the Tribulation Clouds.

“It’s coming!”

The crowd was waiting eagerly for this.

All of a sudden, the surroundings brightened as though it was mid-afternoon and the sun was burning high in the sky. Many people with a lower cultivation base squinted their eyes immediately.

Many people thought to themselves, ‘The 80th Tribulation Lightning is going to strike!’

Boom!

As the earth-shattering sound of thunder rang in the air, a thick bolt of lightning struck from the Tribulation Clouds. Almost immediately, another identical bolt of lightning struck as well. These were the 80th lightning bolts that were heading toward Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen respectively!

The 80th lightning bolt preceded the last lightning bolt form the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. After overcoming the 80th lightning bolt, they would need to face the 81st lightning bolt, the last and most powerful lightning bolt. If they managed to survive the last Tribulation Lightning, they would successfully pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and become an Eminent Celestial. In fact, the difference between an Eminent Celestial and powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was the Celestial Origin Energy!

“If I can overcome the last two Tribulation Lightning, I’ll be able to become an Eminent Celestial!” Yuwen Hao Chen smiled as he looked at the bolt of lightning that was striking at him. He had fully recovered after an hour of healing himself. Although this bolt of lightning was stronger than the previous one, he did not feel pressured at all.

Although they were both facing the same Tribulation Lightning, Duan Ling Tian’s situation was vastly different from Yuwen Hao Chen. Even if Duan Ling Tian fought with his might, he could not help but feel an instinctive fear. He thought to himself resolutely, ‘Even if I can’t win, I won’t give up! Even if I die, I’ll die fighting. I’ll die with dignity and pride!’

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes turned cold as he cast his movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings, and fearlessly flew toward the lightning bolt like a Three-legged Golden Crow!

Yun Fu Ye and Shi Nan Feng scoffed when they saw this and thought to themselves, ‘Seeking death!’

Apart from those two, a majority of the people looked at Duan Ling Tian in admiration. They admired his courage when they saw him charging headlong toward the Tribulation Lightning even though he knew he would die. After all, not everyone would be able to bravely face death in such a way!

‘I, Peng Lai, have no more regrets even if I die to have an amazing master like him...’ For the first time, Peng Lai sincerely acknowledged Duan Ling Tian as his master as he gazed at Duan Ling Tian’s flaming figure.

...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yuwen Hao Chen resisted the force of the 80th lightning bolt after some of its force was dispersed by the technique he had inherited from the Wandering Saint Palace to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Although the force was oppressive, it was not difficult for him to deal with it at all.

On the other hand, the 80th lightning bolt struck at Duan Ling Tian like a meteorite falling from space. Its force was terrifying and explosive. The light from Duan Ling Tian’s flaming wings seemed weak in comparison...
