Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: Rebirth After the Calamity
But Yang Yan, he himself is a Flawless Divine Body!
However, even a divine body requires a process of growth. It needs to be stimulated, tempered, and subjected to the pressure that allows it to break through its limits!
And now, the time has come.
When Yang Yan decided to make a breakthrough, he already had a crazy idea.
Yang Yan clenched his teeth, raised the sword in his hand high, and recalled over and over the sword forms he had learned before, realizing how immature they were.
The Azure Vault Technique—Shattering Heaven of the past, the Life and Death Slaughter Sword of previous times, were full of flaws at this moment!
Crack!
Another bolt of thunder struck directly down, shattering his sword-wielding right hand!
Yet Yang Yan laughed.
The fusion of all swords?
Perhaps, it might appear in the future!
Yang Yan gave up resistance and watched as the purple thunderbolts engulfed his left arm, and then his right.
Yang Yan’s expression was filled with madness.
Even though he had lost his arms, he still seemed to open them to welcome the thunder: "Come on! Come on!"
His will is indomitable, his spirit eternal!
Lin An and the others were stunned to see Yang Yan’s laughing head shattered and turned to dust in the thunder.
"My condolences, Sect Leader Lin!" Dan Xuan patted Lin An on the shoulder and sighed.
"No! Look!" Lin An’s extreme sorrow instantly turned to joy, pointing at something within the thunder.
A perfectly round, darkly glowing Golden Core stood amid the thunder.
How could a divine body be so easily destroyed?!
Swallow a Golden Core into the belly, only then do I know my fate is not governed by heaven!
Lacking a body, I shall create one anew!
Everyone followed the direction Lin An pointed, seeing that in the heart of the dreadful purple thunder, the perfectly round dark Golden Core emitted a terrifying attraction.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Spiritual Qi for a thousand miles around surged towards that ominously glowing Golden Core like a storm.
"Everyone, retreat beyond a hundred miles!" Lin An shouted with a trembling voice.
His disheveled hair was lifted by the strong wind, his body unable to stop shaking.
Because he realized that his own Spiritual Power was uncontrollably trying to burst forth.
As a veteran Golden Core cultivator, it had been many years since he experienced such loss of control over his Spiritual Power.
Lin An’s heart was full of mixed emotions.
He felt proud and honored for Ancient Abyss Sect to have such an outstanding disciple, yet also experienced a sense of the decline of heroes, as ’talents emerge in every generation, each leading for a hundred years’.
Everyone else also felt their Spiritual Power slipping out of control and immediately obeyed Lin An’s order to fly beyond a hundred miles.
As massive amounts of Spiritual Power poured into the thunder’s center, gradually forming a storm of Spiritual Power, that Golden Core at the storm’s center frenetically absorbed Spiritual Power.
Sect Leader He, full of disbelief, said in shock: "I’ve wandered the world for a hundred years and never seen such a large calamity cloud, nor heard of a body shattered by thunder tribulation forming a Golden Core with such immense power!"
The others were also stunned into silence.
Under the shocked eyes of the crowd, the storm of Spiritual Power gradually settled, and a figure purely made of Spiritual Power slowly began to take shape.
A disciple from Ancient Abyss Sect screamed hoarsely: "Yang Yan, it’s Yang Yan!"
Just as the words fell, dazzling light burst from the center of the purple thunder, intimidating and unviewable.
With pure Spiritual Power, Yang Yan re-formed a new body, infused with the immensely powerful Thunderbolt Power, fully elevating the potential of his divine body.
Lin An was overjoyed: "He succeeded!"
His tone revealed joy and pride.
Within the calamity cloud, Yang Yan slowly opened his eyes, from which a fierce Sword Intent shot, piercing the constantly churning purple tribulation cloud, making it contract sharply.
Amid the thunderstorm, he stood with arms crossed, the fierce wind blowing through his jet-black hair, his handsome face exuding determination.
Especially his eyes, full of majesty, shone with an indescribable brilliance, giving people a sense of a king overlooking the world, gazing at all living things.
Lin An and others couldn’t help but praise: "Truly a favored son of heaven!"
At this moment, Yang Yan felt extremely calm inside.
He knew he was merely at the Golden Core Realm, a king only on a small place like Wandering Dragon Star.
But on larger planets outside, he was merely starting out.
His ambition was not merely Wandering Dragon Star.
He is a man who wants to break out from Wandering Dragon Star and compete with other heavenly talents.
He is determined to defy the heavens and seize the chance for immortality in this life.
To be as long-lived as heaven and earth, as radiant as the sun and moon, with all beings underfoot!
How can such a life not stir the blood of a good man?
However, no matter the ambition, one must first deal with these tribulation clouds here and now, or else everything is empty talk.
Yang Yan brought his fingers together, made them into a sword, directly pointing at the tribulation cloud, combining all the sword techniques he had learned into one, unleashing his strongest strike to date.
He shouted mightily: "Open!"
Boom——
The tribulation cloud quivered and shrank, like a mouse seeing a cat, ultimately retreating like water, the terrifying purple thunder cloud.
The people of the ten sects were overjoyed at the sight of this scene.
For from Yang Yan, they saw hope—the hope of saving Wandering Dragon Star.
This breakthrough to the Golden Core had drastically increased Yang Yan’s strength, unlike that of an ordinary early Golden Core.
Generally speaking, for a cultivator who just overcame the thunder tribulation and reached Golden Core, there is usually a period of weakness.
But who is Yang Yan? He is a Flawless Divine Body, inherently at odds with the world, born to defy the heavens.
Thus, he directly skipped the period of weakness and, having undergone the baptism of thunder tribulation and the reshaping of his body by Spiritual Qi, mastered the sword techniques he had learned, achieving Great Success in Sword Intent.
His potential and strength far exceeded that of a typical early Golden Core, even able to match someone like veteran Golden Core cultivator Lin An without being at a disadvantage.
If he unleashed his strongest strike, even someone as skilled as Lin An might have to concede.
Yang Yan flew down to stand before Lin An, and Lin An said, with a hint of joy, to Yang Yan: "I indeed did not misjudge you, truly the fortune of Ancient Abyss Sect!"
Yang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader."
Lin An and Yang Yan exchanged a knowing smile, with everything unspoken yet understood.
Lin An turned to the crowd and announced loudly: "Fellow Daoists, please come to the Ancient Abyss Sect for a discussion."
With yearning for Yang Yan, the crowd eagerly agreed to Lin An’s initiative, following him to the conference hall of Ancient Abyss Sect.
Lin An sat in the main seat, Yang Yan on the right main seat, and the other sect leaders and elders took their seats in order of rank.
Lin An announced in a powerful voice: "The reason I gathered everyone here today, I believe, is clear to you—it is to discuss how to resist the invasion of evil spirits."
"At this critical moment of life and death, everyone must stand together, support each other, and weather the storm. Any ideas you have, feel free to speak freely, as this concerns the survival of the ten sects, and moreover, the future of Wandering Dragon Star."
The people of the major sects, upon hearing this, whispered among themselves, strategizing solutions.
