Chapter 2318 Penta-color Sunglow

Boom!

Before the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan could respond to the question from s.h.i.+ Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, a deafening explosion rang in the air. It reverberated through heaven and earth, and the entire place seemed to quake!

What was more shocking was that after the explosion, the deafening roar of a beast could be heard as well.

“I-is that a dragon?!”

“It’s a dragon’s cry!”

It did not take long for many of the high-ranking officials from the Three Palaces and Six Halls to identify the sound.

At this moment, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan could not be bothered to respond to s.h.i.+ Nan Feng’s question. He was focused on looking at the source of the sound. His eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the scene before him…

s.h.i.+ Nan Feng followed the patriarch’s gaze. His eyes widened as well. “This is…”

Everyone, apart from Yuwen Hao Chen who was focused on overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, turned to look at the source of the noise. It was where Duan Ling Tian was at when he was struck by the final lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

Everyone, including Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, was stupefied.

In a distance, everyone could see the final lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation that engulfed Duan Ling Tian seemed to be repelled by something, gradually disappearing! At the same time, a golden flame divine dragon that was several hundred meters long appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The aura the divine dragon emitted was threatening, waves and waves of energy rolled out of it. The energy felt so powerful that it seemed as though it was capable of destroying heaven and earth! Apart from that, the left eye of the divine dragon that was the size of a coping stone seemed to contain magic. Once one looked at it, it was hard to look away. It was as though one was bound by magic.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the divine dragon repelled the final vestige of the 81st lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation before it disappeared into thin air.

If it did not deflect the final Tribulation Lightning of the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, the spectators would have thought it was a figment of their imagination!

“Is that… Is that a divine dragon?”

“The divine dragon had nine claws on each of its paws. It’s a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon!”

“Goodness! A Nine-clawed Divine Dragon actually appeared… Moreover, it dealt with the remaining force of the lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation! Is it helping Duan Ling Tian with his Heavenly Tribulation?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Duan Ling Tian really conceals his strength well. He waited until the final moment and stunned all of us!”

“Exactly. It seems like Duan Ling Tian has endless tricks up his sleeve… I really don’t know what else he has up his sleeve.”

The crowd broke out into an uproar after a moment of silence. Many were filled with awe and disbelief. Time and time again, Duan Ling Tian had shocked them with his techniques. At this moment, they believed he had more tricks up his sleeve. How many times did they think he was going to die only to be proven otherwise? This made them realize how ignorant and arrogant they had been.

After the realistic Nine-clawed Divine Dragon formed by golden flames disappeared, a purple figure was revealed.

Duan Ling Tian! He managed to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!

Upon seeing her man successfully overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, Ke’er felt so relieved that tears began to form in her eyes again. “Brother Tian!” She was glad she did not take her own life yet.

“Daddy!” Duan Si Ling smiled through her tears. An expression of happiness appeared on her childlike face.

A rare smile also bloomed on Gan Ru Yan’s usually tensed face.

“Master!” Peng Lai’s eyes lit up. He did not expect his master would still be able to create miracles at this moment.

‘He’s fine… He’s fine…’ Huang Wen Jing sighed in relief when she saw the man she loved did not die. A rare smile appeared on her usually frosty face. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to her. Otherwise, her smile would have captured many people’s hearts.

Huang Qi Ling had closed his eyes when he saw the final lightning bolt engulfed Duan Ling Tian. He could not bring himself to watch as Duan Ling Tian died. However, when he opened his eyes, he saw the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon repelling the final lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. He laughed, unable to conceal his joy. He seemed even more thrilled than if he were to pa.s.s the Heavenly Tribulation himself. “Nice one, Brother Ling Tian!”

The expression of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan darkened. He felt a wave of embarra.s.sment washed over him when he recalled his words proclaiming Duan Ling Tian’s impending doom. He had said with such confidence that it would be impossible for Duan Ling Tian to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Duan Ling Tian’s survival was akin to a hard slap to his face. “How did he do that?”

Not only did Duan Ling Tian overcome the final lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, he even emerged unscathed!

“What… How’s that possible? H-he… How does he know such a technique?!” Shock and disbelief appeared on s.h.i.+ Nan Feng’s face when he regained his senses. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to have another card up his sleeve.

s.h.i.+ Nan Feng’s thoughts were similar to those high-ranking officials from the Three Palaces and Six Halls, including Wandering Saint Palace’s Vice Palace Master Yun Fu Ye.

…

At this moment, Yuwen Hao Chen finally overcame the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. He was, naturally, elated. “I made it!” He thought Duan Ling Tian had died. He was shocked when he turned around and saw Duan Ling Tian standing unharmed in the distance. Moreover, the final lightning bolt from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation had disappeared. He could not believe Duan Ling Tian had made it as well. In fact, Duan Ling Tian had overcome the tribulation faster than he did! He was dumbfounded. ‘What… What happened? He… How did he survive? Didn’t Lord Patriarch say he was sure to die?”

At this moment, the Tribulation Clouds dispersed, revealing penta-color lights s.h.i.+ning down from above. It lit up the surroundings, giving it an out-of-this-world look.

Two beams of penta-color light shone down at Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen respectively. It shrouded them, bathing them in the Penta-color Sunglow and causing them to disappear before everyone’s eyes.

“Eminent Celestials!” At this moment, the spectators knew Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao were about to become Eminent Celestials!

The Penta-color Sunglow that would appear once one overcame the Heavenly Tribulation would help them generate energy that did not belong in the mundane realm, the Celestial Origin Energy!

The Celestial Origin Energy was different from the Sun Force that Elder Huo bestowed on Duan Ling Tian. The Sun Force had been forcefully sent into Duan Ling Tian’s body by Elder Huo, therefore, he could not recover it once it was depleted.

On the other hand, the Penta-color Sunglow would help Duan Ling Tian’s body create the Celestial Origin Energy! During this process, he would master the way to create Celestial Origin Energy. It was somewhat similar to how he used to create Saint Origin.

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian was about to become an Eminent Celestial, s.h.i.+ Nan Feng began to panic. He turned to look at the patriarch urgently and shouted, “Lord Patriarch, we can’t allow Duan Ling Tian to become an Eminent Celestial! We must kill him before he becomes one!” It seemed like he had lost all sense of propriety when he raised his voice at the Patriarch of the Human-devil clan!

When the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan saw s.h.i.+ Nan Feng’s rude behavior, he scoffed. He was already in a bad mood to begin with. He waved his arm and an oppressive force swept toward s.h.i.+ Nan Feng and pushed him toward Duan Ling Tian who was shrouded by the Penta-color Sunglow.

From the beginning until the end, s.h.i.+ Nan Feng was like a defenseless baby before the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan! When he drew close to the Penta-color Sunglow, he felt the destructive aura from it and cried out, “No!”

Upon seeing this, Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, fell to his knees immediately as he said, “Lord Patriarch, please show mercy!”

The high-ranking officials from the Great Spirit Palace fell to their knees as well to beg for mercy for their Palace Master.

Finally, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan pulled s.h.i.+ Nan Feng back in the nick of time.

However, the Penta-color Sunglow still managed to s.h.i.+ne on s.h.i.+ Nan Feng’s right arm. He instantly cried out in pain, sounding like a pig in a slaughterhouse. His right arm was burned to a crisp by the Penta-color Sunglow. There was nothing left!
