Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: Chapter 166 Hidden Truths (2/2)
with time ticking away gradually.
the eighth tribulation thunder showed no signs of dissipating.
one breath…
two breaths…
three breaths…
…
…
just like that, a full six breaths passed.
only then did the eighth tribulation thunder completely scatter.
after the tribulation thunder had dissipated, upon looking at lin jing, one could see he was charred all over, almost beyond recognition as a human.
most of the flesh on lin jing’s body had also been melted by the thunder.
at this moment, one could even peer through the charred flesh and see lin jing’s heart, weakly pulsating.
moreover, there were black arcs of lightning traveling incessantly across lin jing’s body, causing the already charred wounds on his body to crack and reveal the red flesh underneath.
by this time, the mountain peak where lin jing had been standing had long since disappeared, leaving behind only a deep pit.
it was at this moment…
a tremendously strong divine sense swept over the area.
then, a figure suddenly appeared near the mountain range.
without using any magical treasures, he stood in midair, his expression cold, but when he looked toward lin jing at the center of the tribulation clouds, his eyes filled with concern.
immediately after, he took a step forward and vanished in an instant, appearing next to the blue-robed cultivator and several others when he re-emerged.
the blue-robed cultivator, seeing the newcomer, quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, saying:
“xu daoyou…”
“senior xu…”
it turned out that this individual was none other than xu ye, who had just completed his tribulation and successfully advanced to the nascent soul stage.
xu ye nodded slightly at him, then asked the blue-robed cultivator:
“which tribulation thunder is lin daoyou currently facing?”
the blue-robed cultivator was somewhat nervous, and he quickly responded:
“back…back to senior xu…
“lin daoyou has just passed the eighth tribulation thunder, and now there’s only the last one left.”
xu ye looked at him, his brow furrowing slightly, assuming it was the imposing aura he couldn’t quite conceal after his own tribulation that was making the cultivator nervous.
shortly after, xu ye didn’t think much of it and turned his attention back to lin jing at the center of the tribulation clouds.
the tribulation clouds in the sky were still brewing the final thunder.
as for lin jing, he was rapidly self-recovering at the moment.
the potent medicinal power of the wugou huan sheng elixir, coupled with the abnormally powerful self-healing ability of the overlord divine physique lin jing had cultivated,
took just a few breaths for lin jing’s charred flesh to fall off on its own, and for new flesh to quickly regenerate at a pace visible to the naked eye…
just as lin jing was healing, a few more people flew in this direction.
these individuals were none other than the wu surnamed cultivators who had been xu ye’s protectors.
after wu and the others arrived,
they greeted xu ye and proceeded to question the blue-robed cultivator about the situation.
the blue-robed cultivator answered, but his responses were hesitant.
it seemed as if there was something he was concealing.
wu looked at the blue-robed cultivator, whose gaze, however, was somewhat evasive.
even the other cultivators standing by the blue-robed cultivator turned their heads aside, as if they had done something wrong.
some even sneakily glanced at lin jing.
having lived for hundreds of years, wu, well-versed in the ways of the world,
could not help but realize that there must be some hidden matters.
then, wu’s expression darkened as he said to the blue-robed cultivator:
“qu daoyou…”
“you and i have known each other for a long while. speak plainly if there is a hidden matter, for if you wait until elder lin has finished the tribulation to tell us, it will be too late…”
