Chapter 600: How to Transcend the Lightning Tribulation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Sword Immortal smiled as he sheathed his longsword.

He stood off to the side silently and did not offer any more words to Liu Qianhuan.

Liu Qianhuan’s bright purple eyes immediately became as cold as snow.

In that instant, she discarded all her emotions and attained a state of complete emotionlessness.

Forget it all… cut everything down and find the release that is forgetting.

Boom!

Dark clouds instantly gathered in the sky above the tower in a radius of five kilometers.

Outside the Immortal Spirit Tower, all the students stared up in shock at the crystalline screen. It looked like Liu Qianhuan was going to put on a show like what Xuanyuan Cheng did.

Rumble…

Bolts of destructive lightning peeked through the dark clouds overhead, as if they were threatening to tear the very heavens apart.

“So Liu Qianhuan is going to transcend her tribulation now?”

“Transcending a tribulation during battle? As expected of my goddess!”

“I was thinking that Goddess Liu had been too brash in choosing such a high level, but it looks like I’ll have to swallow my words now.”

“Liu Qianhuan is indeed supremely talented. Her lightning tribulation clouds are comparable to when An Lin transcended his lightning tribulation.”

“There’s one thing that’s different though; the lightning in the sky is just normal tribulation lightning, not Golden Void Lightning.”

…

Just as the students were all in heated discussion among themselves, An Lin, Su Qianyun, and Xu Xiaolan seemed to have sensed something as they looked up at the dark lightning clouds through the window with shock on their faces.

Bai Zhong had only been basking in elation for one minute over Su Qianyun’s wise decision when he caught sight of the dark clouds gathering outside the tower.

“Could it be… that someone is transcending a tribulation?”

He spread his divine sense throughout heaven and earth before his expression suddenly shifted.

“Oh? Liu Qianhuan is transcending her lightning tribulation? As expected of one of the most talented prodigies of the school, she was able to attain enlightenment during a battle. This is indeed worthy of a celebration…”

A smile had only just appeared on Bai Zhong’s face when a thought seemed to occur to him, and his expression suddenly congealed.

Holy f*ck! Her tribulation lightning is going to strike the Immortal Spirit Tower!

Bai Zhong knew that tribulation lightning couldn’t be interfered with, otherwise, it would become even more ferocious and destructive.

Boom!

An earth-shattering boom erupted as a streak of brilliant blue lightning crashed down.

The bolt of lightning descended upon Liu Qianhuan. It was impeded by the roof of the Immortal Spirit Tower as electricity flashed in a dazzling explosion.

Rumble…

The lightning in the sky became more violent and ferocious in response, as if it had sensed that it was being impeded.

What to do, what to do…

Cold sweat dripped from Bai Zhong’s forehead as he racked his brains.

Liu Qianhuan’s trial tribulation couldn’t be interfered with.

But if things were to continue like this, the tribulation lightning would become more and more powerful from the repeated impediment. In the end, the lightning would pierce through the entire Immortal Spirit Tower, and Liu Qianhuan would be blasted into oblivion.

Liu Qianhuan’s eyelashes trembled, and her face paled as she too realized this.

Everything just seemed so natural when she crossed over that final hurdle, so she didn’t think too much.

Now that she had come to her senses, she discovered that she had picked a very bad location to transcend her lightning tribulation, and she appeared to be completely and utterly screwed…

Bai Xian immediately withdrew the defensive and restrive spell formations around the Immortal Spirit Tower, which meant that all the power restrictions had been lifted.

This meant that Liu Qianhuan was at full strength and had access to everything from her storage ring.

However, this still did not resolve the issue at hand.

The Immortal Spirit Tower was a high-rank immortal tool constructed from extremely robust materials. If the tribulation lightning was to be enhanced to the stage that it was able to penetrate through the tower, how was Liu Qianhuan supposed to survive?

The male Sword Immortal’s brows furrowed as he slashed an extremely powerful sword projection toward the roof of the Immortal Spirit Tower.

Boom!

The sword projection exploded, but it was unable to penetrate even the ceiling between levels ninety-one and ninety-two.

That made sense. He was only a wisp of divine intent, so there was no way he could break through the Immortal Spirit Tower, which was a high-rank immortal tool.

“Come here quickly, Bai Zhong!” the male Sword Immortal yelled.

A white-robed elderly man hurriedly appeared.

“Kong Mohan, why didn’t you prevent Liu Qianhuan from making her breakthrough while she’s in the tower?!” Bai Zhong interrogated.

Kong Mohan’s face convulsed slightly. “I was the one who encouraged her to take the final step as I couldn’t bear to see a superb talent like her be held back by her fixations…”

Bai Zhong: “…”

So not only did he not try to prevent her from making a breakthrough, he was the one that encouraged Liu Qianhuan to do so in the first place.

Bai Zhong’s chest constricted. He could deal with the trial-takers screwing him over, but even the divine-intent warriors were screwing him over now?

Kong Mohan was once a renowned Sword Immortal across the entire continent as well as a top-tier Sword Immortal instructor. It looked like his occupational disease had struck again, and he simply couldn’t help himself…

“Now’s not the time to talk about that. Our top priority now is to figure out how to help Liu Qianhuan survive this ordeal,” Kong Mohan urged in a hurried voice.

Bai Xian heaved a long sigh. “The Immortal Spirit Tower is unmovable from this location, and the lightning tribulation clouds are already established. Hence, if Liu Qianhuan moves from this location, she will suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao… I’ve already informed the Celestial Thearch of this situation, and he’s on his way here. There’s no way around it; we’ll have to forcefully disperse the lightning clouds…”

“No… we can’t do that. That would affect her Dao foundation. If we forcefully scatter the lightning clouds, her next trial tribulation will be countless times more difficult than this one…” Kong Mohan shook his head with a remorseful expression on his face.

A thought then suddenly seemed to occur to him as he offered a suggestion, “Can’t we break a hole from here to the roof of the Immortal Spirit Tower?”

Bai Zhong shook his head with a resigned expression. “If we do that… then all the power within the Immortal Spirit Tower would disappear, along with yourself as well as all the divine-intent warriors. The Celestial Thearch most likely won’t take this course of action…”

Kong Mohan’s body swayed slightly. “It’s all my fault…”

Liu Qianhuan also seemed to have overheard their conversation, and her heart descended into the pits of despair.

Boom!

Another devastating bolt of lightning crashed down upon the Immortal Spirit Tower, causing the entire tower to tremor violently.

On the ninety-eighth level.

An Lin came to a sudden realization as his power restriction was lifted.

He looked up as the defensive spell formation around the Immortal Spirit Tower was withdrawn. He then turned to look out the window.

“Sorry, Senior. I have to do something important.”

He bowed to the divine-intent warrior before him, and his body transformed into a white mist as he flew toward the window.

The window was shattered by his Realm-Piercing Nail, and he appeared outside the Immortal Spirit Tower atop his black brick.

“This lightning tribulation… Is Senior Student Liu about to make her breakthrough?” He looked up at the sky before immediately flying toward the ninety-first level.

A red streak of light flashed past as a windowpane on the ninety-first level was punctured.

Bai Zhong and Kong Mohan all received quite a fright upon seeing this.

“An Lin, why are you here?” Bai Zhong asked with a shocked expression.

“What are you trying to do?” Kong Mohan questioned with a cautious expression.

Boom!

At this moment, an extremely thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky with an immense destructive force.

An Lin pointed a finger toward the bolt of lightning in the sky.

The bolt of tribulation lightning suddenly twisted from its original course before appearing beside An Lin. It then moved toward Liu Qianhuan.

A resounding boom erupted alongside an explosion of lightning.

Liu Qianhuan moaned in pain, and her body trembled as she became completely engulfed by lightning.

The Lightning Manipulation Technique sure is useful!

An Lin heaved a sigh of relief as a smile appeared on his face. “Why am I here? I’m here to help Senior Student Liu transcend her lightning tribulation, of course!”
