Chapter 1255 - A True Warrior

Chapter 1255: A True Warrior
An Lin’s entire body shuddered upon hearing this.
What the hell was that?!
He only realized after a moment that it was a system notification!
My God, is the system finally alive again?

An Lin almost wept tears of excitement as he opened the system.
The Special Missions tab was flashing.
He opened the special mission:
[Detected that host has entered the Chaotic Lightning Stone Space, now assigning the mission below:
[Relinquish all resistance and stand still within the Five-Colored Divine Lightning Core for a minute.
[Mission Success: Receive stage three of the Thunder Essence Cultivation Method.
[Mission Failure: You’ll probably be dead.
[Note: This mission cannot be rejected, or your IQ will fall by a hundred points.]

An Lin was completely dumbstruck by the content of this mission.
Relinquish all resistance and stand still for an entire minute within that terrifying Five-Colored Divine Lightning?
Was the system trying to kill him?!
An Kirin had the confidence to pass through the lightning pit as he had his divine body and his vital energy. In addition, he also had An Kirin’s power to protect him.
This divine lightning was powerful enough to threaten a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure! How was he supposed to survive without putting up any defenses?
No wonder the consequence for mission failure was probably death.
No sht!
If he couldn’t last the entire minute and was blasted into nothingness, of course he would be dead!
Could he reject it?
Would he become mentally disabled if he dropped a hundred IQ points?
An Lin roared internally. He thought that the system was going to offer him a good mission for once, only to find that it was just another mission to try and screw him over!
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird had detected An Lin’s visible discomfort and immediately offered words of consolation,
It’s alright, Shameless An. If you’re scared, I can recover the bead for you. Please trust me.

Kui began to roar with laughter.
Hahaha… Are you pissing yourself? Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you, hahaha…

This mythological beast didn’t seem to notice that he was laughing at An Lin at this very moment in time.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird glared at Kui with a cold expression.
Even though you’re a Dao Integration Stage mythological beast, you yourself don’t even dare to enter this Lethal Lightning Realm. However, you’re now laughing at a Soul Formation Stage cultivator for not daring to enter? Have you no shame?!

Kui’s laughter came to a grinding halt, and an extremely awkward expression appeared on his face.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s words struck the nail on the head. This was like a university student, who was unable to solve a question, laughing at a primary school student, who was also unable to solve the same question. What a retard!

Hmph! I’m laughing at him for being so cocky. If you can’t do something, then don’t boast about it. Otherwise, you’ll only be embarrassed!
Kui refused to back down. At the same time, he was feeling quite confused. Why was the haughty Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird siding with this kid?
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird pursed her lips and ignored Kui as she produced a golden feather from within her spatial storage artifact. She then turned and proceeded to walk toward the divine lightning barrier with the golden feather before her.
At this moment, something suddenly tugged on her tail.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird turned to discover that An Lin had grabbed her, and she faltered involuntarily for a moment.
What is it?


Um, can I discuss something with you?
An Lin forced a smile onto his deathly-pale face.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was a little confused.
Go on.

Kui also took note of this conversation to try and see just what An Lin was planning.
An Lin took a deep breath before speaking with a grave expression,
I’m going to stand in the Five-Colored Divine Lightning Core for an entire minute without putting up any defenses. Please do a countdown for me on the side, and if I can’t make it back out through my own power in a minute, you’ll have to get me out of there.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird:
…

Kui:
…

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird stared blankly at An Lin.
Wh… what did you say? Have you gone mad? Relinquish all defenses and stand under that lightning for an entire minute?!

Kui’s eyes widened with shock.
Mr. An Lin, if you want to commit suicide, please make a public statement first! Otherwise, everyone is going to think our Mythological Beast Sect did something unspeakable to you!

An Lin ignored Kui and looked into the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s eyes with a serious expression.
I’m serious, and I haven’t gone insane. This is one of those strange things I need to do. You know what I mean…

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird came to a sudden realization upon hearing this, but she was still extremely concerned.
But… but if you do that, you’re really going to die!

She knew what An Lin was capable of. After all, she had fought An Lin once in the arena.
If he relinquished all defenses and stood under that lightning for an entire minute, it would be no different to committing suicide! Even a mythological beast like Kui didn’t dare to do something like this!

Sect Leader An Lin, even if you want to prove yourself, you don’t have to prove yourself like this! What’s the point?
Kui was still unable to comprehend what An Lin was doing. He felt like An Lin was a nutjob.
An Lin continued to ignore Kui as he looked into the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s eyes.
Trust me. I can do it.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird stared into An Lin’s determined eyes and nodded after several seconds of silence.
Alright, I’ll do it!

Last time, he kissed the sun; this time, he was embracing lightning. He was getting crazier and crazier each time they met. The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird knew she would be unable to stop An Lin, so she decided to do everything she could to help him.
An Lin finally heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He waved farewell before making his way toward the Five-Colored Divine Lightning Core. Even though he wasn’t walking very quickly, each and every one of his footsteps was extremely firm and determined.
What stood before him was the lethal core region of the Five-Colored Lightning Pit.
Lightning flashed through the air, fracturing space and striking fear into its onlookers’ hearts.
Countless bolts of divine lightning fused together before exploding like a nuclear bomb, reducing everything in its wake to dust with its extreme temperatures and power.
An Lin did not set up any defenses before making his way through the divine lightning barrier.
Boundless lightning invaded his body in an instant, destroying his skin, internal organs, musculoskeletal structure, and his blood, as if it was trying to annihilate him into nothingness!

Ah… !
Extreme pain and an excruciating tearing sensation hurtled through An Lin’s body like a tsunami wave. An Lin felt as if he had been dissected by the lightning, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird began her countdown at this moment.
An Lin’s entire body was almost instantly charred black.
After relinquishing all defenses, even his body of the War God was no match for something of this caliber. The Five-Colored Divine Lightning instantly engulfed An Lin’s body!
Kui’s heart jolted with shock as he considered whether he should connect a voice transmission with the Four Nine Immortal Sect and tell them to prepare a funeral for their sect leader.
All of a sudden, a voice sounded from amid the countless bolts of divine lightning.

Hahaha… Now this is what I’m talking about!

Let the divine lightning fall with even more ferocity!

An Lin’s elated voice erupted.
Kui’s lone eye widened, and he stared with incredulity and shock at the figure being struck by divine lightning.
An Lin’s body was clearly on the brink of breaking down, but he was still laughing heartily.
Kui almost knelt down to this human. He had thought he was pretty badss for bathing within the sea of lightning. He didn’t think that there would be a human who was able to relinquish all of his defenses while standing in the core region of the lightning pit…
Not only that, but he seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself in there!
A sense of profound admiration welled up in Kui’s heart!
Only his last shred of pride as a mythological beast held him back from falling to his knee before An Lin.
