Chapter 2316 - Desperation


Chapter 2316 Desperation

“It’s coming!” When Yuwen Hao Chen heard the earth-shattering thunderclap, 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 Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. The 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, which was also the last lightning bolt, had arrived! This meant he was about to become an Eminent Celestial! With the inherited technique, he was not afraid he would fail the Celestial Ascension Tribulation at all. He might feel the pressure or injure himself, but he did not think he would fail to overcome the last 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 overcome many major setbacks in my life… However, I didn’t expect I would die here today!’ Duan Ling Tian was extremely unwilling to accept 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 Tribulation Clouds like two meteorites falling from space.

Upon closer inspection, the purple lightning bolts that were flashing in the Tribulation Clouds could no longer be seen as the two dragon-like lightning bolts struck down. Furthermore, the thunderclaps 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 Chen laughed and charged out fearlessly to confront the last lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. After all, he had the inherited technique from the Wandering Saint Palace. Moreover, none of the Palace Masters from Wandering Saint Palace had ever failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!

Regardless, most people’s attention, including the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, was on Duan Ling Tian. There was nothing to see on Yuwen Hao Chen’s side, his success was guaranteed after all.

“This Duan Ling Tian will definitely be struck dead by the Tribulation Lightning!”

“That human genius better not antagonize our Human-Devil clan again if there’s a next life!”

Many people looked at Duan Ling Tian, anticipating the scene where he would be struck dead by the last lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

‘Although this might be the end of the road for me, I still want my last moment to be a moment of glory!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed resolutely. His Saint Origin circulated 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. Similar to earlier, it had turned into a Three-legged Golden Crow and shrouded him.

When people saw the golden flaming bird again, their eyes widened.

“It’s that bird again!”

A few high-ranking officials from the Three Palaces and Six Halls quickly realized something. “Indeed. The bird seems weaker compared to earlier when the 80th lightning bolt struck. Its force seems to have been halved!”

“It’s impossible for this bird to resist the last lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!” Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, confirmed this after he used the Divine Consciousness to confirm the veracity of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan’s words.

Earlier, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had bluntly said that the force that was comparable to the Celestial Origin Energy was insufficient to overcome the last lightning bolt of Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

‘Elder Huo… In the last 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 the last lightning bolt of the Celestial Ascension Tribulation that was fast approaching him. He quickly took out his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword and faced the lightning bolt.

“Golden Crow’s Wings!”

“Black 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 the last lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

“Attack!” Duan Ling Tian bellowed as he got closer to the last lightning bolt. His voice was so loud that it could shake the earth. It was as though he wanted his thunderous voice to be the last thing that everyone heard from him!

At this moment, the place had fallen completely silent. Only the sounds of Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen confronting the last lightning bolts from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation 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 Tribulation!”

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 the last lightning bolt!” He could acutely feel how terrifying and powerful the Tribulation Lightning was. The previous lightning bolts simply could not compare 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 the last Tribulation Lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

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 the last 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 Tribulation. 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 the last lightning bolt’s force.

At this moment, the Three-legged Golden Crow formed from the Sun Force that was shrouding Duan Ling Tian flapped its wing and collided with the last lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation as well.

Golden flames clashed 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 quick compared to the Sun Force.

‘Based on the situation, when the Sun Force is completely 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.
