Chapter 1641: Return to Void Intermediate Stage

An Lin’s condition was forcefully recovered due to Tina’s efforts.

Everyone returned to their original world.

Dongfang Zhuangshi, Tina, An Lin, and Xu Xiaolan arrived back at the Heavenly Beast Divine Mountain.

The Heavenly Beast Divine Mountain itself had already been completely destroyed. The area with a radius of several thousand kilometers around the Heavenly Beast Divine Mountain had also been severely ravaged and annihilated by a hundred mythological beasts.

“What a wonderful power. We can just hide in Tina’s world if we encounter any danger!” Dongfang Zhuangshi exclaimed with marvel.

“That won’t work. We have to come out from whichever location we entered my world in.”

Tina shook her head. “If we entered the Divine Mirror World only to have our enemies set up countless slaughter formations in this world, then we really wouldn’t be able to get away.”

An Lin had a different opinion on this matter. “If we disappear into thin air, our enemies might not wait as they don’t know that we have to come back to the same location. We can just stay in the Divine Mirror World for ten days or half a month, and the enemy will leave after growing tired of waiting.”

“That could work, Giant An Lin!” Tina’s eyes lit up slightly.

At this moment, the lightning clouds overhead began to roar and churn again.

“Hehe, sorry to keep you waiting.”

An Lin looked up at the Golden Void Lightning in the sky with an apologetic expression.

The Golden Void Lightning was fuming with rage.

First, it had been used by An Lin to blast Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong to death. Then, An Lin completely ditched them and only came back to this world after a long time.

Golden Void Lightning had dignity as well!

It was going to blast this arrogant b*stard to the death in the name of the heavens!

An Lin pulled out a spirit cigarette, which he placed in his mouth. “Can I have a light?”

Boom!

A bolt of Golden Void Lightning fell, illuminating heaven and earth, and lighting An Lin’s spirit cigarette.

An Lin took a deep inhalation, and he felt like his body had been cleansed by a smoky, wispy energy, before slowly exhaling. If he had a pair of sunglasses right now, his image would be perfected.

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Dongfang Zhuangshi was shocked beyond belief.

He had lived for countless years, but it was the first time he had ever seen anyone transcend a tribulation in such a bad*ss manner!

Not only did he use the divine lightning to kill his enemy before ditching the divine lightning, but he was also using the divine lightning to light up a cigarette!

An Lin took another puff of his cigarette to settle himself before instructing, “Alright, you may begin. Hurry it up a little.”

The tribulation clouds in the sky churned violently yet again.

The Golden Void Lightning couldn’t hold back any longer, and they fell in quick succession.

Golden lightning illuminated heaven and earth.

An Lin stood on the ground below with his arms wide open, welcoming the bolts of terrifying Golden Void Lightning.

The power of the Golden Void Lightning wreaked havoc within his body, refining it through a process of destruction and rebuild. A lot of the power also streamed into his sea of vital energy like gentle streams, where An Kirin opened his mouth wide and gobbled down the energy with elation.

Ten bolts of lightning, twenty bolts of lightning, thirty bolts of lightning, forty bolts of lightning, fifty bolts of lightning…

An Lin’s aura climbed steadily amid the divine lightning.

Dongfang Zhuangshi was perplexed. “Isn’t this supposed to be only a small lightning tribulation consisting of forty-nine bolts? Why is it that over fifty have fallen, but it still hasn’t come to an end?”

Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. “You’ve known An Lin for a while now, why are you still making the mistake of judging my An Lin using normal standards?”

Dongfang Zhuangshi had no response to this.

She was right. An Lin was a freak, so why wouldn’t his tribulation transcendence be freakish as well?

The Golden Void Lightning was still rumbling in the sky.

One bolt of terrifying Golden Void Lightning after another fell, all the way until eighty-one bolts did it finally stop.

Dongfang Zhuangshi’s lips twitched. What was supposed to be a small lightning tribulation for him was the same as a major lightning tribulation from the Soul Formation Stage to the Return to Void Stage for everyone else. Furthermore, the power imbued within the tribulation lightning was completely on a different level.

“The tribulation this time is very normal,” Tina mused.

“Isn’t that a good thing? I just want him to be safe.” Xu Xiaolan heaved a long sigh of relief upon seeing this, and a vibrant smile appeared on her face, as if a massive weight had been taken off her shoulders.

Dongfang Zhuangshi: “???”

Normal?

A small lightning tribulation of eighty-one bolts was supposed to be normal?

What was this definition of normal?!

The tribulation transcendence went very smoothly.

An Lin’s cultivation base had already stabilized at the Return to Void Intermediate Stage.

The aura emanating from his body was frighteningly powerful, as if his body contained some sort of special energy.

The tribulation clouds in the sky dissipated as well, revealing the clear sky above, and it was quite clear that the lightning tribulation had come to a conclusion.

Dongfang Zhuangshi heaved a sigh of relief and joined his hands in a congratulatory salute. “Congratulations on progressing to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, Mr. An Lin!”

“Haha, thank you, thank you!” An Lin laughed heartily.

At this moment, a lithe and graceful figure in a jade dress dove into his arms.

“An Lin! Congratulations!” Xu Xiaolan enveloped An Lin in an excited hug.

An Lin felt her soft, warm body pressed up against his and inhaled her enticing scent and was momentarily intoxicated. “You’re not going to congratulate me in any other way?”

“What else do you want?” Xu Xiaolan looked up at An Lin with curious eyes.

An Lin puckered his lips together and closed his eyes, clearly indicating with his body language exactly what he wanted.

“You…” A blush appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face, and her chest rose and fell as if she was struggling with an internal conflict. In the end, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and planted a solid kiss on An Lin’s cheek.

“Hah…” An Lin’s mouth gaped open with disappointment etched on his face.

Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips in a smile and stuck out her tongue at him in a cheeky manner as her eyes shimmered and rippled.

Dongfang Zhuangshi had already averted his gaze and was currently making his way over to Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s body.

“Hehe, I told you I’d be gouging the Chaotic Life Core out of your body soon…” Dongfang Zhuangshi chuckled as he plunged his hand into Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s chest, upon which a red light emanated from his palm alongside a mysterious suction force.

Soon, a crystal glowing as brightly as a star appeared in his hand.

“Finally… I finally have you…” Dongfang Zhuangshi was very excited.

He put the crystal into his storage ring before plucking Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s storage ring from its finger and tossing it at An Lin.

“Mr. An Lin, seeing as you’ve inherited Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s dao intent, why don’t you inherit its riches as well.” Dongfang Zhuangshi smiled.

An Lin accepted the storage ring with a smile on his face. “Great minds really do think alike.”

You only began to understand how good a person was after you lost them.

For example, An Lin only discovered what a good person Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong was after it died. It had left him with its true intent as well as a massive fortune. If this was not a philanthropist, then he didn’t know what was.
