<h4>Chapter 2316 Desperation</h4>
“It’sing!” When Yuwen Hao Chen heard the earth-shattering thunderp, his eyes brightened immediately. His Saint Origin began to roil under the surface of his skin as he cast the inherited technique that was passed down for generations to the Pce Masters of Wandering Saint Pce to ovee the Celestial Ascension Tribtion. The 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion, which was also thest lightning bolt, had arrived! This meant he was about to be an Eminent Celestial! With the inherited technique, he was not afraid he would fail the Celestial Ascension Tribtion at all. He might feel the pressure or injure himself, but he did not think he would fail to ovee thest lightning bolt. He was feeling extremely confident.
On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian felt differently even though he was preparing to face the 81st lightning bolt as well.
‘I, Duan Ling Tian, have ovee many major setbacks in my life... However, I didn’t expect I would die here today!’ Duan Ling Tian was extremely unwilling to ept his fate. However, what could he do when things were out of his control?
As soon as thunder rang in the air, two dragon-like lightning bolts struck from the Tribtion Clouds like two meteorites falling from space.
Upon closer inspection, the purple lightning bolts that were shing in the Tribtion Clouds could no longer be seen as the two dragon-like lightning bolts struck down. Furthermore, the thunderps that had been ringing in the air had also stopped.
However, most people were unaware of this since their attention was focused on the two bolts of lightning that had struck down.
The power from the two bolts of lightning made many people with a low cultivation base shivered in fear. They could clearly feel the formidable force of these two lightning bolts.
“Good! You’re finally here!” Yuwen Hao Chenughed and charged out fearlessly to confront thest lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion. After all, he had the inherited technique from the Wandering Saint Pce. Moreover, none of the Pce Masters from Wandering Saint Pce had ever failed the Celestial Ascension Tribtion!
Regardless, most people’s attention, including the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n, was on Duan Ling Tian. There was nothing to see on Yuwen Hao Chen’s side, his sess was guaranteed after all.
“This Duan Ling Tian will definitely be struck dead by the Tribtion Lightning!”
“That human genius better not antagonize our Human-Devil n again if there’s a next life!”
Many people looked at Duan Ling Tian, anticipating the scene where he would be struck dead by thest lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion.
‘Although this might be the end of the road for me, I still want myst moment to be a moment of glory!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shed resolutely. His Saint Origin circted through his 99 Saint Veins before surging out his body unreservedly. At this time, he discovered his Sun Force that had just returned to him but had yet to fuse with his Saint Origin had also surged out with his Saint Origin. Simr to earlier, it had turned into a Three-legged Golden Crow and shrouded him.
When people saw the golden ming bird again, their eyes widened.
“It’s that bird again!”
A few high-ranking officials from the Three Pces and Six Halls quickly realized something. “Indeed. The bird seems weakerpared to earlier when the 80th lightning bolt struck. Its force seems to have been halved!”
“It’s impossible for this bird to resist thest lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion!” Shi Nan Feng, the Pce Master of Great Spirit Pce, confirmed this after he used the Divine Consciousness to confirm the veracity of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n’s words.
Earlier, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n had bluntly said that the force that wasparable to the Celestial Origin Energy was insufficient to ovee thest lightning bolt of Celestial Ascension Tribtion.
‘Elder Huo... In thest moment of my life, I will not go down without a fight. I’ll fight along with the Sun Force you have bestowed me! I’ll see you again in the afterlife! I hope you won’t be too disappointed when you see me. After all, you sacrificed your life to save me!’
After a while, Duan Ling Tian could no longer continue his train of thought. He needed to focus on thest lightning bolt of the Celestial Ascension Tribtion that was fast approaching him. He quickly took out his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword and faced the lightning bolt.
“Golden Crow’s Wings!”
“ck Turtle’s Barrier!”
“Otherworldly Celestial!”
“Sword Wielding Art!”
Duan Ling Tian cast all the techniques in his arsenal without holding back, revealing all his abilities.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian’s clones fell into ranks to attack as they wielded the Thousand Saint Inscription Swords.
Meanwhile, the Three-legged Golden Crow formed by the Sun Force continued shrouding Duan Ling Tian as he charged toward thest lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion.
“Attack!” Duan Ling Tian bellowed as he got closer to thest lightning bolt. His voice was so loud that it could shake the earth. It was as though he wanted his thunderous voice to be thest thing that everyone heard from him!
At this moment, the ce had fallenpletely silent. Only the sounds of Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen confronting thest lightning bolts from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion could be heard.
“The lightning bolt’s force is extremely terrifying!”
“The force is almost 100 times stronger than the 80th lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion!”
...
It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian was less than 100 meters away from the lightning bolt. ‘Such a terrifying force! Let alone the half-depleted Sun Force, even if I have all the Sun Force and cast all my techniques, I’m afraid it would still be almost impossible for me to deal with thest lightning bolt!” He could acutely feel how terrifying and powerful the Tribtion Lightning was. The previous lightning bolts simply could notpare to it at all.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian used the Sovereign Heart Sword of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method to wield the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword and his clones followed suit. They fell in a row like shooting stars before they finally collided with thest Tribtion Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the collision happened, the deafening sounds of explosions rang in the air, causing a flurry of hurricanes to sweep out. Even then, Duan Ling Tian’s resistance was akin to a rock being dropped into the ocean. He only managed to deplete ten percent of thest lightning bolt’s force.
‘If I’m at the peak of my strength, the sword’s power would be stronger...’ Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to give up. He had been injured a few times while he faced the Celestial Ascension Tribtion. He would not have failed so terribly if he was at the peak of his strength. He would definitely be able to deplete more of thest lightning bolt’s force.
At this moment, the Three-legged Golden Crow formed from the Sun Force that was shrouding Duan Ling Tian pped its wing and collided with thest lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribtion as well.
Golden mes shed with the purple lightning bolt.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions from this collision was much louder than before. After all, even if the Sun Force had been half-depleted, its force was still superior to the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.
Duan Ling Tian could clearly feel the Sun Force depleting at a very quick speed. Although the lightning bolt was losing force as well, it was not as quickpared to the Sun Force.
‘Based on the situation, when the Sun Force ispletely depleted, the lightning bolt would still have about 50 percent of its force left! At that time, I’ll definitely be struck dead by the lightning bolt!’ Although Duan Ling Tian had prepared himself to face death, he still could not help but feel a hint of desperation.
