Chapter 1077: An Lin’s Retaliation

An Lin was feeling very panicked.

He was like a little lamb that had been air-dropped right into the middle of a pack of wolves.

How could he get himself out of this bind?

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug and Tina were already prepared for battle.

A faint, refreshing fragrance swept toward him.

A blue figure suddenly appeared and positioned herself in front of An Lin.

“No one touches Big Boss An Lin! Otherwise, you’ll have me to answer to!”

Lan Xiaoni summoned her white ball before yelling at all of the mighty figures present with a resolute expression.

A Spirit Fish Clan mighty figure burst into laughter upon seeing this. “Stop fooling around, Princess. What are you going to do? Anyone of us can easily subdue you.”

Lan Xiaoni came to the realization then that she was the weakest being among everyone here…

Even though she was very scared, her ferocious expression appeared on her face, and she suddenly materialized a blade of ice that she laid on her own neck. “If any of you dare to attack Big Boss An Lin, I’ll kill myself!”

Boom!

Her words were like a clap of thunder that shocked all of the living beings present into silence.

Even An Lin was a little dazed as he looked at Lan Xiaoni.

That’s right, even if Lan Xiaoni couldn’t defeat them, what could they do if she chose to commit suicide? Who could stop her?

Forcing a future Queen of the West Sea into suicide was definitely not something anyone here wanted to do.

“Have you gone insane, Little Ni? Put that weapon down!” Lan Xingyang let loose an enraged cry upon seeing this.

Lan Xiaoni held the ice blade firmly to her neck as she spoke in a cold voice, “Big Boss An Lin saved my life. Without him, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to walk out of that tomb alive. I’m returning the favor to him now!”

All of the mighty figures faltered at the sight of her single-mindedly determined expression.

They didn’t dare to push her any further. Lan Xiaoni was clearly serious, and they could not take this gamble.

“My God, is that still the same cowardly big sister I’ve always had? Has she been possessed?” Lan Xiaohuang stared with incredulity at the determined mermaid.

“Little Sister has always been like this. When she has her mind set on something, no one can dissuade her.” Her handsome older brother shook his head with a wry smile.

Never would Lan Xiaoni have thought that she would stand against all of the most powerful mighty figures of the West Sea one day and threaten them with her words.

Right at this moment, a pair of warm hands wrapped around her hand, which was holding the ice blade.

“Put the weapon down! How can I let my underling stand before me in a situation like this? The underling’s job is to cheer on their big boss, understand?”

A familiar voice sounded from beside her.

Lan Xiaoni turned her blue eyes to the side with a conflicted expression. “But… but if I put the weapon down, Big Boss An Lin, you…”

An Lin spoke in a gentle yet firm voice, “Listen to me. Put the weapon down.”

Lan Xiaoni pursed her lips before silently putting down the weapon in her hand.

All of the mighty figures present heaved faint sighs of relief upon seeing this.

In contrast, Lan Xingyang’s eyelids twitched slightly. To think that his daughter was more obedient to that man than she was to him. This made him a little angry.

At this moment, Gu Yu slowly made his way over to An Lin. “Fellow cultivators, regardless of who An Lin is, he is a benefactor to our two tribes. Even if we can’t avoid conflict with him in the future, we cannot simply kick him to the curb now just because he has outlived his usefulness.”

Another collective cry of surprise erupted from the mighty figures present upon hearing this.

They didn’t think that the Heavenly Turtle Tribe High Priest would make a decision to protect An Lin. Gu Yu’s decision held significant weight, so even the other four Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures had to carefully reconsider.

At this moment, a faint sigh suddenly sounded.

“Sigh… Underling Lan, things have progressed too far. It looks like I won’t be able to hide it…”

Lan Xiaoni turned toward the man beside her with a perplexed expression before catching on to what he was planning to do, and a hint of resignation appeared on her beautiful features. “Seeing as that’s the case… then, are you going to reveal the truth now, Big Boss An Lin?”

The truth?

All of the Spirit Fish Clan and Heavenly Turtle Tribe mighty figures turned their eyes upon An Lin.

Could it be that there were other hidden details amid all of this?

An Lin’s white robes flapped around him, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes. An invisible force seemed to be building around him, and all of the onlooking mighty figures stirred slightly upon seeing this.

He pulled out a lavish golden crown from his storage ring.

Regal Crown—crafted by Xiao Tu using the blood essence and spinal cord of a divine dragon. The crown was capable of unleashing boundless dragon might and was an absolute must-have for flexing purposes!

An Lin placed the Regal Crown on his head, and his eyes suddenly turned pure gold as a paramount divine might burst forth from his body!

Divine Might Technique!

The power of his consciousness rivaled that of the most powerful Return to Void Stage mighty figures, and after being amplified by the Regal Crown and the Divine Might Technique, the aura erupting from An Lin’s body had struck a hint of fear even into the hearts of all of the mighty figures present.

They felt as if they were facing a paramount god!!!

“Gasp… This power…”

“What a terrifying might! He’s just a Soul Formation Stage cultivator!”

For some reason, An Lin seemed to have won in a battle of wills against all of the mighty figures within the enchantment barrier.

An Lin raised his head to look at all of the mighty figures before speaking in a voice brimming with boundless divine might. “That’s right, I will reveal the truth to everyone now. Underling Lan has indeed received the power of the Heavenly Sea God and now rules over the power of water!”

“That’s right, I have inherited the Heavenly Sea God’s power,” Lan Xiaoni finally admitted to the truth in accordance with An Lin’s performance.

These words created a massive stir among all of the mighty figures here.

Even though most of them had already guessed this, it was still a huge shock for them to hear the admission from Lan Xiaoni herself!

Some of the Spirit Fish Clan mighty figures even had tears flowing down their faces. “A vast fortune has befallen our tribe! The Spirit Fish Clan shall rise again!”

The Heavenly Turtle Tribe mighty figures had mixed emotions regarding this.

Many of the mighty figures turned perplexed eyes upon An Lin.

Lan Xiaoni’s announcement placed her firmly under the limelight, so what was he acting all bad*ss for?

All of the mighty figures’ lips twitched at the sight of him prancing around like he was the true star of the show.

What the hell did any of this have to do with An Lin?!

An Lin seemed to have detected the confusion in the eyes of the mighty figures present, and a faint smile appeared on his face. “Lan Xiaoni does indeed possess the power of the ocean now. But do you know who I am?”

An Lin’s words were extremely firm and confident, striking doubt into the hearts of the mighty figures again.

Who was An Lin?

Aside from the titles of small War God of the Heavenly Court and the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, he didn’t appear to have any other noteworthy titles, right?

“Hehe… Do you really not know what my other title is…”

A divine might radiated from An Lin’s eyes, and he spread his hands open as lightning crackled between his palms.

Bolts of golden lightning flashed through the sky, releasing dazzling light.

All of the mighty figures instantly realized what he was getting at.

A smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “That’s right, I am the master of all lightning, I am…”

“The Tamer of Divine Lightning!” Lan Xiaohuang interjected with a fervent expression.

All of the mighty figures: “…”

An Lin: “…”

A peculiar silence ensued.

An Lin could only muster up his courage before speaking in a voice like thunder, “I am the one chosen by the Heavenly Dao to control all of the lightning within this world. I am the master of lightning, the Heavenly Lightning God!”

Boom!

An Lin’s words were like bolts of lightning that struck the heads of all of the mighty figures present!
