Chapter 1253: The Thrilling Lightning

An Lin turned with a perplexed expression toward the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird, who was still pretending to not know him.

They were clearly good friends, so why was she doing this?

He had even kissed her once…

Wait, could it be that she thought he hadn’t recognized who she was?

That was a very real possibility…

An Lin felt like his IQ was being looked down on.

However, he didn’t think too much about this subject before following Kui as they continued further into the Mythological Beast Sect.

The Five-Colored Lightning Pit was a restricted area located deep within the Mythological Beast Sect.

This was a place that had been enshrouded by an extremely powerful formation to prevent the terrifying lightning might within from escaping.

However, this lightning might was still only from the lightning in the outer section.

The most powerful lightning could be found in a mystic realm within the restricted area. That was the core region of the Five-Colored Divine Lightning, and it was known as the Lethal Lightning Realm.

This was a place that even Kui, who stood at the pinnacle of lightning, was fearful toward.

Kui only had one leg, so he skipped along like a zombie.

He didn’t want to fly as he enjoyed this mode of transportation. He was like a moving earthquake, creating a spectacle that was both earth-shattering and quite comical.

Not long after this, everyone arrived at the entrance to the spell formation.

Kui’s single leg bent over, and he abruptly jumped as his body tipped back to deliver an almighty kick into the spell formation.

Boom!

A massive opening was kicked into the spell formation as a result.

An Lin felt like his horizons had been greatly broadened. Kui sure had a special way of opening up passageways in spell formations!

Perhaps he really liked to show off his leg because he only had one?

It was a pity that An Lin was not interested in the slightest in a pillar-like leg like this one.

“Come with me.” Kui walked into the spell formation first.

An Lin, the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird, and Bai Xian followed along.

After entering the spell formation, they were greeted by the sight of dark clouds obscuring the entire sky, as well as a vast sea of terrifying lightning!

Blue lightning, crimson lightning, golden lightning, green lightning, purple lightning, five different types of lightning fell like rain from the sky above, lighting up the sky with their dazzling light and triggering incessant, earsplitting claps of thunder.

An Lin looked down at the sea of lightning to find that it consisted of a special type of liquid, upon which countless bolts of lightning surged and crackled, emanating terrifying might that struck the onlookers with a crushing sense of suffocation.

Any cultivators below Return to Void Stage would most definitely be reduced to nothingness in less than a second if they were to set foot upon this sea of lightning.

However, Kui leaped into the lightning without any fear nor hesitation. Countless bolts of lightning crashed into his body, but they were unable to inflict any damage whatsoever.

“Oh… Nice, moo!”

Kui mooed with pleasure as he basked in the terrifying sea of lightning.

Bai Xian extended a paw into the sea of lightning, and bolts of lightning instantly crashed into his body. He was immediately struck by a numb, tearing sensation, and he quickly withdrew his paw with fear lingering on his face.

“What formidable lightning!” he spoke with a grave expression.

Bai Xian was at the Return to Void Final Stage, but even he had to instantly retract his paw after coming into contact with the sea of lightning, thereby indicating just how devastating the lightning was.

“Be careful, Mr. An Lin. This Five-Colored Divine Lightning is not something to be scoffed at.” He turned to An Lin with a concerned expression.

Kui turned to An Lin with a hint of a smile on his face. “Come on down, Mr. An Lin.”

“I have to warn you though, don’t even think about using any flying spell techniques. If you try to fly through the sky, all of the Five-Colored Divine Lightning would fall upon you at once, so it’s akin to suicide!

“You can go back if you’re scared. I won’t blame you.”

Kui spoke with a smile, but his voice was imbued with a hint of mockery and contempt.

A calm smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “Thanks for your concern, Senior Kui, but this lightning is nothing to me.”

He leaped into the sea of lightning as he spoke.

Boom boom boom…

Countless bolts of lightning flashed toward An Lin at an extremely fast speed.

Bai Xian stared at An Lin with a tense expression.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird also cast her eyes toward An Lin.

An Lin spread open his arms as if he were embracing his children.

Lightning roared with earth-shattering force.

Countless bolts of terrifying lightning struck An Lin’s body at once, destroying everything within, as if it was trying to annihilate every single inch of his skin, flesh, and bones!

“Ah!” An Lin’s body shuddered reflexively, and he let loose a cry of surprise.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s eyes shifted slightly, and she was just about to spring into action.

“Nice!” An Lin suddenly exclaimed, and his eyes became extremely bright.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird: “…”

“Senior Kui, your sea of lightning sure is a good place to take a bath!” An Lin praised him with a thumbs-up.

Kui’s lips twitched imperceptibly. “Do what you need to do. I have to take the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird deeper into the lightning pit.”

He thought An Lin was only here to refine his body in the lightning pit, so he left An Lin to his own devices.

This divine lightning really did have some body-refinement effects. An Lin’s musculoskeletal structure, blood, and meridians all became stronger from the lightning raining down upon him.

Not only that, but even An Kirin was starting to get excited within his sea of vital energy. It was as if he wanted to come out for a bath, but he was hesitant about something at the same time.

Boom!

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird also leaped into the sea of lightning. The Five-Colored Divine Lightning crackled over her body, making her feathers appear even more vibrant and gorgeous.

She wasn’t enjoying the lightning as much as Kui was, but she did not fear the lightning either.

Kui led the way from the front, and the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird followed along as they traveled deeper into the lightning pit.

An Lin unleashed his divine sense to survey his surroundings, but he did not discover anything. After thinking about it for a moment, he also trailed along.

“Why are you also coming?” Kui’s expression shifted upon seeing this.

An Lin chuckled. “The lightning here isn’t anything special. I feel like the lightning on the inside would be more thrilling!”

Kui’s face convulsed slightly, but he didn’t prevent An Lin from following them. “Alright then, come with me if you’re not afraid of dying.”

The more they progressed into the lightning pit, the more terrifying the lightning became.

The lightning in the sky continued to fall upon Kui, the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird, and An Lin’s bodies, as did the lightning crackling through the sea of lightning.

Thus, the trio, which consisted of two Dao Integration Stage mythological beasts and a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, continued moving forward.

They continued onward, even as countless bolts of lightning bombarded them relentlessly.

It was quite a bizarre scene to behold.

The Return to Void Final Stage Bai Xian had already turned pale with fear.

“Mr. An Lin sure is an extraordinary man. To think he’s able to keep up with even Dao Integration Stage mythological beasts.”

Bai Xian felt like his outlook on cultivation had been flipped on its head.

An Lin was not afraid of this lightning. He possessed the body of the War God as well as buffs like the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill and his Evading Turtle technique. His body had also been refined countless times, so this Five-Colored Divine Lightning was nothing to him.

The titles of Tamer of Divine Lightning and Heavenly Lightning God were not just for show!

Thus, An Lin continued behind Kui and the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird for over ten kilometers.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird turned to look at An Lin with a hint of surprise on her face.

Kui had initially thought that An Lin would only be able to progress for a kilometer at most, but to his surprise, this b*stard had followed them for over ten kilometers and was still completely fine! He was unable to keep his cool any longer.

“An Lin, what the hell do you want?!” Kui was astonished.

An Lin waved his hands with disappointment etched on his face. “The lightning only feels good for a little while before I get sick of it. Your lightning pit isn’t all that great, brother!”

Kui: “…”
