Chapter 1139: Chapter 689_2
The ancestors saw that the opponent was about to enter the Divinity Transformation Stage; if they didnât run now, there would be no chance!
âSwish, swish, swishâ
The figures of several old ghosts vanished, leaving behind the sect disciples with weaker abilities, collapsed on the ground, their fates uncertainâdead or alive!
The ancestors had no intention of saving them, nor did they release a spiritual shield to relieve them from the pressure!
Those ancestors didnât bother with the elders and other disciples outside either!
In the darkness, the sect disciples were waiting for the ancestors to emerge victorious and rescue them.
From a distance, they couldnât see the situation within the narrow passage, but the longer they waited, the more dejected they felt!
They noticed the enemies guarding them didnât show any sign of tension!
In fact, their expressions were joyful, making it clear that things had gone terribly wrongâthe ancestors couldnât win!
If that was the case, their sect might face annihilation, and they still didnât realize their sect leader had already fled!
They assumed that even if the ancestors couldnât win, surely the sect leader could step in, right?
And still, they were unaware their ancestors had abandoned them!
Jiang Tang was advancing in cultivation, while Eryao and Green Ox didnât bother to chase the fleeing enemies!
They were vigilantly guarding their master from afar, waiting for his advancement to finish, benefiting greatly in the process as well.
Absorbing some of these benefits, they didnât care about the enemiesâ escape. They could track them down later when they had spare time!
Ye Tian, inside the flying treasure, could already sense that someone was advancing in cultivationâit must be Jiang Tang, he guessed.
âWow, wow, wow, comparing myself to others drives me mad! Same age, same transmigration circumstances; why donât I have such a golden finger?â
Ye Tian muttered softly. Alone in the flying artifact, it wasnât envy or jealousy; it was more like burning heat!
No matter how Jiang Tang mysteriously surged forward just now, he had witnessed one spiritual energy vortex after another.
Each advancement was visibleâsurrounding spiritual energy spiraling into him in a clever, even bizarre way!
And this was over the oceanâs surface, which logically wouldnât contain dense spiritual energy!
Ye Tian sensed the sect a short distance awayâa spiritual vein resided there. But its spiritual energy was similar to that of other sects, neither unusually abundant nor special!
Ye Tian recalled his time in the North City Immortal Sect, renowned as the top Immortal Sect in the Cultivation World, with spiritual energy far denser than this sect or this planet!
Yet, on this isolated island, the density of spiritual energy was extraordinary. Jiang Tang seemed to have absorbed an entire sectâs worth of energy!
Ye Tian didnât think that was sufficient to explain Jiang Tangâs abrupt surge in cultivationâsomething felt off!
Accompanying Jiang Tang throughout countless places, witnessing many scenarios, heâd never seen spiritual energy this thick, though it had been ages since they left the Cultivation World. In that span, Jiang Tang hadnât shown signs of breakthrough!
But now itâs differentâheâs advancing repeatedly!
Ye Tian couldnât fathom Jiang Tangâs current cultivation level.
He speculated Jiang Tang might have reached a level close to their ancestorâs cultivation back home!
Judging by each breakthrough Jiang Tang displayed, he might have surpassed the ancestor already!
Couldnât you see those old fellowsâ gazes?
Fear, panicâtheir eyes betrayed it all. Jiang Tangâs power exceeded theirs!
And those old men might very well be Great Power Holders, yet they fled from Jiang Tang in terror, their siege crumbling as Jiang Tang inexplicably advancedâstartling them into retreat!
Ye Tian couldnât help but inwardly click his tongue in admiration. Ah, the wonders of his golden fingerâjust breakthrough after breakthrough, growing stronger all the time!
Could this be a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage?
Otherwise, how could those dark clouds overhead appear so ominous?
Ye Tian understood that breaking into the Mahayana Stage would summon lightningâa form of mini-tribulation!
Jiang Tang didnât think his mini-tribulation was over; on small advancements, there might not even be lightning.
But the thick clouds overhead nowâwith this intensityâlooked like a legitimate heavenly tribulation, truly appropriate for the Divinity Transformation Stage. Yet Jiang Tang sat there nonchalantly, entirely unafraid!
Ye Tian wasnât worried for Jiang Tang, knowing he must have countless magical treasures capable of repelling the bolts!
Eryao, as a Divine Dragon, had previously unleashed powerful moves and summoned lightning strikes!
This current lightning tribulation, coinciding with their masterâs Divinity Transformation Stage, was genuinely fierce!
Eryao had never seen other cultivators face lightning tribulation upon entering the Divinity Transformation Stage!
He remembered the lightning descending when he became a Divine Dragon once, but even that wasnât as terrifying as the lightning Jiang Tang faced now!
This might be far beyond the typical Divinity Transformation Stage lightning tribulation!
Eryao didnât worry about his master being unable to withstand itâthe worst outcome might involve some injuries. His body, now tempered and powerful, could endure this level!
Nonetheless, Eryao quickly entered the Primordial Treasure Spirit Field Space, instructing Green Ox to guard the adversaries, while he searched within the space for items that might fend off the lightning!
The Primordial Treasure Spirit Field Space, often cultivated with demand-specific rewards for the masterâmagical treasures, secret manuals, or pillsâhadnât yielded anything for a while. Eryao entered, searching for any possibility of destiny!
Jiang Tang, amidst the automatic influx of qi coursing through his body upon reaching Divinity Transformation Stage, felt some reliefâhis body lighter and smoother from the pain, though his mind wasnât on the brewing tribulation lightning overhead!
After all, heâd been struck by lightning before and could tolerate it!
Not wanting his body to ache excessively, he simply absorbed the lightning strikes, allowing them to temper his muscles!
Now, his muscles didnât need much tempering anymoreâhis aching body required healing. It had been a long time since he consumed any pills, so he swiftly grabbed a handful and swallowed them.
Jiang Tang channeled the spiritual energy within the pills, circulating it through his body for continuous healing!
A warm sensation spread across his body; he even sensed the increasingly pungent smell emitting from him.
Before he had the chance to cast Purification Magic, he noticed the tribulation lightning was about to descend!
Jiang Tang opened his sharp eyes, directly staring at the sky. Strangely, when the lightning was about to strike, it froze as if hesitating, unable to fall!
??
Could lightning look at peopleâs faces?
Jiang Tang, pondering, widened his gaze. His previously handsome, refined appearance was now muddled by demonic qi, bloating his frame, resulting in a blood-soaked and foul stench.
His blackened face and body, coated in viscera, resembled a devil glaring upward!
The heavenly lightning seemed afraid, visibly tremblingâit had calculated the intensity appropriate for someone nearing ascension, and adjusted accordingly!
But this devilish man, with his piercing gaze, even made the lightning tremble, unsure whether it should strike or retreat!
âHey, hey, hey, whatâs with that look? Huh? Iâm just undergoing a Divinity Transformation Stage tribulationâwhy act like itâs an ascension tribulation? You brought lightning to blast me into ashâdo we have some vendetta? Hurry up and get lost!â
Ye Tian looked on⊠Jiang Tang was scolding the lightning? Could it understand human language? What a fool!
Yet, the heavenly lightning hesitatedâwhat he said seemed logical. Judging by its brilliance, it truly seemed overkill!
Even Green Ox thought his master was foolishâtalking to lightning? Could it even comprehend?
Perhaps⊠lightning was a little aggrieved, thinking it had made a mistake. Should it descend or hold back?
