Chapter 908: A New Era of Cultivation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xue Zhantian chose to take the initiative and attack the Golden Void Lightning in the sky.

The Golden Void Lightning seemed to have been further enraged as it began to compress itself to the extreme before falling from the sky, slicing through Xue Zhantian’s white pillar of energy as if it were made from melted butter, and massive inky-black rifts of chaos appeared in its wake.

Xue Zhantian was not fearful in the slightest, and he chortled even more loudly as he rose up to meet the lightning.

At that moment, An Lin felt as if he was looking at the protagonist of a cultivating story defying the natural order. He chortled directly in the face of the heavens in an extremely arrogant and domineering display.

Of course, to see that, one had to first ignore the fact that he was a super adorable ball of fur…

The terrifying lightning might sent jolts of shock running through the hearts of the teachers and students. That bolt of lightning had already transcended beyond the Return to Void Stage.

Xue Zhantian didn’t know whether he could survive this bolt of lightning, but why did that matter? He had already enraged the sky and was no longer the party who had to be struck without being able to offer up any resistance. Even if he were to die like this, he would die with the widest smile on his face!

However, An Lin extended a finger into the air at this moment.

Lightning Manipulation Technique!

He could easily control his own tribulation lightning.

However, helping others to control their tribulation lightning was quite difficult.

In Liu Qianhuan’s case, he was only able to manipulate the direction the bolts of lightning were going in.

Now, he wanted to try and slow the tribulation lightning down a little for Xue Zhantian. That’s right, slowing the Golden Void Lightning down would prevent the full power of the lightning from entering Xue Zhantian’s body all at once, thereby working to minimize his risk of death!

An Lin had become stronger since Liu Qianhuan’s tribulation transcendence, so perhaps he would be able to achieve this through the use of his Lightning Manipulation Technique.

Slow down, slow down…

Lightning flashed from his fingertips, and he tried to slow the bolt of tribulation lightning down with all his might!

Boom!

His sea of vital energy suddenly surged as the fully-clothed An Kirin also opened his eyes and pointed a finger up at the sky, as if he were lord of all lightning!

Whoosh…

Invisible energy fluctuations engulfed heaven and earth.

The bolt of Golden Void Lightning suddenly slowed down to a crawl.

This scene had all of the spectators dumbstruck again.

They could even see the finer details of this dazzling bolt of lightning now.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying muttered to herself, “Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why do I feel like it’s suddenly moving in slow motion?”

A student whose mouth gaped open in shock put her concerns to rest. “Your eyes are fine, Teacher. Otherwise, the divine lightning would’ve already crashed into that adorable snow soul beast as we speak!”

Xue Zhantian turned to An Lin with a grateful expression.

As expected, following Master was the right way to go!

His decision back then had been the best decision he had ever made in his entire life!

Xue Zhantian continued to fly toward that terrifying bolt of divine lightning.

Boundless golden lightning exploded forth like a ball of exploding electricity, creating terrifying explosions that erased everything within a radius of several hundred meters.

Xue Zhantian’s snowy white fur had been charred black by the Golden Void Lightning, and he now resembled a ball of charcoal.

All of the spectators’ hearts throbbed with disappointment. His adorable looks were gone…

“Ahhhh…” Xue Zhantian roared as he spread his wings, and the power of dao intent erupted forth to combat the fearsome Golden Void Lightning.

An Lin gritted his teeth as he pointed his finger up at the sky to slow the descent of the Golden Void Lightning as much as he could.

Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan caught sight of this detail.

His entire body trembled as a brilliant light of excitement burst forth from his eyes. “So that’s what happened… What a terrifying power, to be able to affect the heavenly tribulation itself! This is the power to usher in a new era!!!”

In the end, the Golden Void Lightning was completely depleted.

Xue Zhantian survived the last bolt of Golden Void Lightning.

He looked up at the receding clouds and laughed heartily without a care in the world, as if he had won some sort of battle, before plummeting from the sky and landing in An Lin’s arms.

“Master, fighting the heavens is such a satisfying feeling!” Xue Zhantian’s eyes rippled with blue light, and they seemed to be shimmering with tears as well.

He closed his eyes in exhaustion as he spoke.

An Lin’s lips twitched slightly. He couldn’t understand what this black ball was so satisfied with. He silently stuck a high-rank spirit pill into his mouth before flying down from the peak of the mountain.

Da Bai, Xiao Hong, and Tina immediately crowded around them.

Xu Xiaolan and Su Qianyun, as well as a few teachers, also flew over to them to express congratulations.

Vice-Principal Yu Hua was going to ask for compensation, but he swallowed his words at the sight of the miserable snow soul beast. After all, everyone else was celebrating, so it didn’t appear appropriate to be asking for compensation now.

However, his heart throbbed when he looked at the mountain in the distance, which was now a plateau.

Back at the dorm room, An Lin placed Xue Zhantian into a coffin.

Of course, this was not to bury it, but instead, it was to help him recover.

The immortal tool’s regenerative abilities were nothing to be scoffed at. A red light erupted forth in a radius of five kilometers, sweeping the surrounding Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth toward Xue Zhantian to heal his injuries.

Xue Zhantian’s charred black fur finally began to fall off as pristine, snowy white fur grew to take its place. Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief upon seeing this.

“If Xue Zhantian really did become a ball of charcoal, I probably wouldn’t ever hug him again,” Xu Xiaolan admitted.

“If he continued to be this black, I wouldn’t use him as a ball to kick around,” Da Bai also chimed in.

This was a world where looks and presentation were of the utmost importance. If Xue Zhantian’s fur remained black, even if he had broken through to the Return to Void Stage, he would still be less popular compared to back when he was at the Soul Formation Stage.

This was a harsh reality.

An Lin finally turned to the man beside him with curiosity on his face. “Er, Teacher Ming Yuan, why are you still here?”

That’s right, all the other teachers had already left, but Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan had pursued them excitedly to An Lin’s dorm room.

“I have a bold idea!” Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan stared at An Lin with rapt attention.

An Lin was a little unsettled by the intensity of his stare. “Please calm down, Teacher, the law spares no one!”

Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan continued with a speechless expression, “You’re misunderstanding me. I witnessed the entire process of Xue Zhantian’s trial tribulation, and I think your power should not be wasted. We can use your power to take the whole human race to new heights, and the Kingdom of the Nine States can usher in a new era of cultivation!”

An Lin blinked. “I’m listening.”

“You know that over ninety percent of Soul Formation Stage cultivators will die during their transcendence tribulations as they are unable to handle the power of the Golden Void Lightning. However, you have the power to slow the Golden Void Lightning down.

“The speed at which the Golden Void Lightning falls can be the difference between life and death! You could use your power to bring about a new age of cultivation!” Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke.

An Lin faltered upon hearing this. He felt like this was quite plausible!

It wasn’t that he was a huge fan of helping others.

But this could be a massive money-earning opportunity!!!
