Dense, dark clouds had encompassed the heavens within a radius of several thousand kilometers.
Heaven and earth dimmed significantly, and claps of thunder could be heard.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect disciples and elders were extremely surprised. Who was transcending their tribulation this time?
At the center of the tribulation clouds.
An Lin and Emperor Ziwei were both dumbstruck.
They knew that it wasn’t some cultivator who was transcending their tribulation. Instead…
“What’s going on? Did you attract these tribulation clouds?” An Lin looked down at the exquisitely intricate mirror in his hand with an astonished expression.
“I… I think so… I can sense a shackle… I must break this shackle… to rise to a higher level…” the Vermilion Bird Mirror stuttered with difficulty.
Emperor Ziwei came to a sudden realization. “I get it!”
“What is it?” An Lin asked.
“I understand why the Vermilion Bird Mirror is transcending a tribulation!” Emperor Ziwei’s eyes were extremely bright. “When cultivators become too powerful, heavenly tribulation will fall to restrict the number of cultivators by using tribulation lightning to blast some of these living beings to death. This is because heaven and earth couldn’t contain so many powerful people, and it’s trying to maintain homeostasis!
“The exact same thing is happening to the Vermilion Bird Mirror!
“When a treasure reaches the pinnacle of its existence, taking another step would disrupt the homeostasis of heaven and earth, which is why heavenly tribulation has descended in order to try and stop it from advancing further!”
An Lin also became very excited upon hearing this. “So what you’re saying is that the Vermilion Bird Mirror is too badass for heaven and earth to contain?”
Boom boom boom…
Bolts of lightning were already tearing through the dark clouds in the sky above.
This was no ordinary divine lightning, nor was it Golden Void Lightning.
This was black and white lightning created from chaos capable of annihilating all things…
This was God of Creation Stage Chaotic Divine Lightning!
“The Vermilion Bird Mirror’s tribulation lightning is Chaotic Divine Lightning?” An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath.
At this moment, the mirror in his hand gradually left him and flew into the sky.
“Master, don’t help me during this tribulation transcendence. I must do this on my own,” the Vermilion Bird Mirror said in a firm voice.
An Lin nodded. “I believe in you!”
Many of the Four Nine Immortal Sect powerful beings had also converged on the scene.
They were all curious about who was transcending this tribulation, and they could tell from the tribulation lightning that the tribulation transcender must have been very powerful. Perhaps their sect leader was the one transcending his tribulation!
Xuanyuan Cheng rushed over to the scene, and an elated smile appeared on his face upon seeing An Lin. “It really is Classmate An Lin transcending his tribulation! This is great!”
“Big Brother An is already at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, is he going to progress to the Dao Integration Stage now? Woof!” Da Bai wagged his tail with excitement.
Everyone was then greeted by the sight of a peculiar scene.
An Lin suddenly left the center of the tribulation clouds before looking up at the mirror in the sky.
“Wha… Why is the sect leader placing a mirror at the center of his tribulation transcendence?”
“Is this a new trend?”
The spectating disciples were perplexed.
“No… Master is not the one who attracted these tribulation clouds…” A peculiar light flashed through Ye Ling’s eyes as she stared up at the mirror in the sky. “That mirror is the one transcending its tribulation!”
Everyone was even more astonished upon hearing this.
A mirror transcending a tribulation? Are you f*cking kidding me?!
It would be more plausible if she told them that a pig was transcending its tribulation!
However, after receiving confirmation from Xiao Ze, Xiao Hong, Dongfang Zhuangshi, and the other Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures, everyone had no choice but to believe that the mirror was indeed the one transcending its tribulation!
The six Vermilion Bird Sages were the most shocked of all.
“This is Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s aura…”
“Why would a mirror possess Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s aura? And it’s such a powerful aura too…”
“I can sense that my bloodline is trembling… How could this be? ”
Not only were the Vermilion Birds very astonished, their teacher, the Ancient Dragon Empress, was also shocked.
She discovered that anything could be found in the Four Nine Immortal Sect, even tribulation transcending mirrors!
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning tore through the clouds, and the destructive force of chaos struck fear into the hearts of all of the spectating disciples, some of which almost collapsed to the ground.
The might of the Chaotic Divine Lightning was simply far too terrifying, and it was almost unbearable even to Return to Void Stage mighty figures.
“Everyone, get back! Keep at least three kilometers away from the site of tribulation transcendence!” Bai Ling instructed everyone while setting up a high energy particle barrier to protect the sect as well as all of the disciples.
An Lin was situated the closest to the Vermilion Bird Mirror in case of emergencies. He would be the final trump card as the Lord of Transcendence.
“The Chaotic Divine Lightning is about to fall. The Vermilion Bird Mirror won’t be cracked again, right?” An Lin raised his head with a concerned expression.
The tiny surface of the mirror wasn’t even as large as a single bolt of Chaotic Divine Lightning. Could it really handle the might of the Chaotic Divine Lightning?
Crack…
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky.
It was as if heaven and earth had been split apart down the middle at that moment.
The space in the wake of the bolt of lightning was reduced to chaos and nothingness.
Everyone looked on with bated breath. They were even struck by the terrifying feeling that this bolt of lightning was going to destroy the entire world!
The terrifying lightning struck the Vermilion Bird Mirror viciously, upon which a scintillating light erupted forth.
Just as everyone was concerned that the Vermilion Bird Mirror wouldn’t be able to withstand this bolt of lightning, the surface of the Vermilion Bird Mirror suddenly lit up, upon which the lightning was absorbed before being shot back into the sky!
Boom!
The Chaotic Divine Lightning blasted a massive hole into the dark clouds in the sky.
Silence.
Deathly silence.
An Lin was dumbstruck.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect onlookers were also dumbstruck.
The mirror reflected the tribulation lightning. What the f*ck was it doing?
Not only was it transcending a tribulation, but it was also now reflecting tribulation lightning to blast the tribulation clouds.
Was this mirror going to defy the natural order?!
Rumble…
The lightning hidden within the dark clouds became even more violent, as if they were very displeased and enraged by what the Vermilion Bird Mirror was doing.
Boom!
Another bolt of Chaotic Divine Lightning fell.
This bolt was even more powerful than the last one.
The Vermilion Bird Mirror flashed, and the Chaotic Divine Lightning disappeared into the mirror’s surface before being reflected again and blasting another massive hole into the tribulation clouds.
Boom boom boom!
Three bolts of Chaotic Divine Lightning fell at the same time.
The Vermilion Bird Mirror: Reflect! Reflect! Reflect!
Bolt after bolt of Chaotic Divine Lightning struck the Vermilion Bird Mirror, only to be reflected back, blasting one hole after another into the tribulation clouds.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
This was the most outlandish tribulation transcendence they had ever witnessed.
It was like two powerful wielders of lightning blasting each other with Chaotic Divine Lightning.
However, the tribulation clouds in the sky were the losers no matter what.
Regardless of how many bolts of lightning fell, they were all reflected to blast itself.
What a pitiful sight…
The onlookers below didn’t know what to say anymore and could only look on in silence.
An Lin was even starting to become sympathetic toward the lightning tribulation. He had seen countless tribulation transcendences, but this was definitely the most tragic one!
