This golden feather was crafted by the Nine-Tailed Divine Phoenix with the help of the guardian of the Sun Tree. It was a disposable protective artifact created according to a mystic sigil on the Sun Tree using nine immortal-rank materials and one divine-rank material.
Its name was “Divine Sun Feather”, and it had extremely powerful defensive properties.
After activating the Divine Sun Feather, not only could it defend against attacks from Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures, but it could even keep a God of Creation’s attacks at bay for a period of time!
Just this Divine Sun Feather cost twenty million spirit stones to craft. This was an extremely valuable disposable protective artifact, but the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird had used it here to secure some unidentified treasures. This seemed to be completely implausible.
However, Yi Li had told her that she had reached the final step.
The key to her making a breakthrough to Dao Integration Stage lay in the Five-Colored Lightning Pit of the Mythological Beast Sect!
In order to allow Yi Li to successfully make her breakthrough, the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird had to secure the treasures within the Five-Colored Lightning Pit!
The Divine Sun Feather opened up a path for her, and everything went very smoothly.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was enshrouded in a golden divine light, and no divine lightning could harm her.
The lightning crashed down relentlessly upon the divine light, creating one powerful explosion after another, but it was unable to damage the divine light in the slightest.
However, she suddenly let loose a cry of surprise.
“Ah…!”
A crisp yell erupted before cutting off to a grinding halt.
“Ms. Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird, are you alright?” Kui yelled out, but there was no reply.
He was beginning to get quite worried.
Crap, what could he do? The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird had to have encountered some sort of perilous situation!
He was just about to charge into the terrifying lightning pit, but he came to a grinding halt right at the border.
“No, this lightning pit is too dangerous. Even with that mysterious artifact, the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird still fell into a perilous situation. Rushing in now would be akin to suicide for me!” Kui analyzed in a logical voice.
An Lin seemed to have heard a scream, and he slowly opened his eyes.
“Phew… I didn’t die… and my body… is completely unscathed?!”
He sat up with astonishment and surveyed his body, which was naked with the exception of a few charred ribbons draped over it.
“Moo, you’re awake!” Kui turned toward An Lin.
An Lin nodded before surveying his surroundings. “How long was I out for? And how did my injuries recover so quickly?”
He knew just how severely injured he was, which was why his current condition was completely inconceivable to him.
“Only two hours. You were able to recover so quickly because the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird fed you an immortal pill. She also cast her most powerful healing technique upon you,” Kui explained.
A sense of gratitude welled up in An Lin’s heart. “Where is the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird? I feel like I just heard her voice. Is she in the Five-Colored Lightning Pit?”
A grave expression appeared on Kui’s face. “The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird went in not too long ago. You heard that scream as well? It appears that she is in some danger…”
An Lin instantly stood up upon hearing this. “Holy f*ck! Why didn’t you say so earlier?!”
“Well… it only happened just now, and you’ve only just woken up…”
Kui was a little startled by An Lin’s reaction. “Besides, you won’t be able to do anything for her anyway. She’s now deep within the terrifying lightning pit, so how are you going to help her? Don’t forget how you almost died from that lightning!”
An Lin made his way toward the turbulent lightning pit and responded without even turning his head. “You seem to have forgotten that I only ended up like that because I didn’t offer any resistance…”
Kui looked on at An Lin and was unable to say anything.
An Lin had already made his way to the border of the lightning pit, where countless bolts of lightning imbued with the power of annihilation and devastation crashed down like a torrential storm.
“If I use my power, who can stop the Tamer of Divine Lightning?!
“Piss off!”
He pointed a finger at the countless bolts of divine lightning surging in the sky!
All of a sudden, all of the monstrously powerful bolts of divine lightning froze in mid-air.
Immediately afterward, all of the bolts of lightning bowed and opened up a path, as if they were welcoming their king.
“What the hell is going on?!” Kui felt as if he was about to go into cardiac arrest from shock.
The Five-Colored Divine Lightning that even Kui was extremely fearful toward was bowing to An Lin?
What the f*ck!
An Lin continued onward just like that, and not a single bolt of lightning landed on his body, as if he were the monarch of all lightning!
Kui was completely speechless and could only stare blankly at the scenes unfolding before his eyes.
He even had a feeling that if he were to use its own divine dao lightning against An Lin, it would fare no better than this divine lightning.
Just what kind of man was this An Lin?
An Lin forged ahead, and his figure was gradually obscured by the lightning.
The powerful bolts of divine lightning were capable of obstructing one’s divine sense, so Kui was no longer able to see where An Lin was, nor what he was doing. However, his mighty, seemingly invincible figure had been etched deeply into his mind.
An Lin couldn’t see where the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was, so he could only continue forward and call out her name in the process.
It was a pity that his Lightning Manipulation Technique could only manipulate lightning in a small area. His job would be a lot easier if he could just get rid of all the lightning here.
He thought this to himself as he walked, and all of a sudden, his footing gave away from under him.
“Ah… !” he let loose an involuntary cry of surprise.
Outside the lightning pit.
Kui heard An Lin’s cry, and his expression instantly shifted drastically.
“Sect Leader An Lin, are you alright? Moo?!”
There was no reply.
Kui’s face turned pale with fright. “Crap, even a lightning cultivator as powerful as Sect Leader An Lin has been taken by this Five-Colored Lightning Pit? Thank God I didn’t rush in.
“I have to reevaluate the danger level of this lightning pit!”
Meanwhile, within a space constructed by a net of Five-Colored Divine Lightning…
An Lin fell from the sky and was elated to see the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird. “Vermilion Bird Princess, I’m so glad you’re ok!”
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird looked around, only to find An Lin falling toward her. A smile appeared on her face before her brows furrowed. “An Lin, why have you come here? This place is really dangerous! Just let me get the bead for you!”
“I’m here to save you. Look at you right now, are you really going to be able to recover the bead for me?” An Lin turned to the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird with a smile on his face.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird blushed slightly. “I’ve only just gotten trapped. Escaping from this formation is only a matter of time for me.”
There were five balls of lightning revolving around her, all of which were exuding extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.
There was a blue ball of lightning, a crimson ball of lightning, a golden ball of lightning, a green ball of lightning, and a purple ball of lightning; each of which was imbued with more lightning energy than anything An Lin had ever seen.
Not only that, but An Lin could also sense a type of fundamental power from them.
“You be careful, and don’t move around. These balls of lightning are not that simple to deal with. As soon as you make a move, they’re going to pounce toward you. My Divine Sun Feather was cracked by these things!” the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird cautioned.
The reason why she didn’t dare to leave was that she was afraid that the balls of lightning would shatter her Divine Sun Feather!
“Don’t worry, sit back and watch my performance!”
An Lin tried to use his Lightning Manipulation Technique on the balls of lightning!
However, he found it extremely difficult to manipulate them.
He had already attained the third stage in his Thunder Essence Cultivation Method, but he was still unable to do so!
Right at this moment.
“Eugh!”
An Lin suddenly threw up a shiny, golden baby wearing a matching set of red t-shirt and shorts.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was astonished. Did this performance consist of him throwing up a baby?
Her eyes widened, and she was just about to say something when she was greeted by the sight of the shiny, golden baby pouncing toward the balls of lightning with excitement flashing in his eyes!
