Chapter 1258 - The Protected Vermilion Bird Princess

Chapter 1258: The Protected Vermilion Bird Princess
Everything had happened far too quickly, affording An Lin and the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird zero reaction time.
An Kirin’s movement instantly set off the five terrifying balls of lightning.
The balls of lightning seemed to be rather short-tempered too. They immediately pounced toward An Kirin at the sight of An Kirin charging toward them.

Be careful!

Even though the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird didn’t know what this shiny, golden baby was, she still let loose an instinctive cry.
An Kirin grinned before opening his mouth and swallowing the blue ball of lightning before him!

Gulp!

He swallowed the ball of lightning into his stomach, upon which his golden little stomach instantly bulged. As time passed, the bulge traveled frantically to different locations in his stomach.

It seemed like the ball of lightning within was still struggling to come out.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was dumbstruck by this baffling sight.
What is that creature? How is he able to swallow such a terrifying ball of lightning? Isn’t he going to explode?

Even though An Lin was also a little surprised, he managed to remain calm and offered some speculation.

Perhaps it’s because An Kirin is made of lightning himself, and that’s why he’s able to do this?



An Kirin? His last name is An? He’s your son?!
the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird exclaimed in shock.

Son my as! He’s a pet I keep in my sea of vital energy,
An Lin hurriedly explained.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was even more astonished.
You can keep pets in your sea of vital energy?

An Lin massaged his glabella.
It’s a long story.

At this moment, the other four balls of lightning had become even more enraged upon seeing one of their brothers being swallowed. They roared as they crashed toward An Kirin, trying to kill him with their combined force.
If this were an ordinary Return to Void Stage mighty figure, just one of the lightning balls would be enough to reduce their target to nothingness upon contact.
However, not only was An Kirin not fearful toward them in the slightest, he launched himself toward them with even more excitement!

Gulp!

Gulp!

Gulp!

Gulp!

An Kirin swallowed the remaining four balls of lightning in quick succession!
All of the lightning balls had ended up in his stomach!
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was completely stupefied, and An Lin was also given a fright. He was feeling a little concerned that this little fella had bitten off more than he could chew. One had to realize that those five balls of lightning were no ordinary objects. These were balls of lightning imbued with a type of fundamental power that even the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was extremely wary of!
An Kirin’s body bulged relentlessly as the five balls of lightning crashed around in a frenzy.

An Lin… is… is he really going to be alright? Should we get further away?
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was a little concerned that An Kirin would explode. The force of that explosion would definitely be beyond Dao Integration Stage power, and she would not be able to keep them safe from an explosion of that caliber.
Before An Lin even had a chance to reply, An Kirin opened his mouth.

Burp!

After releasing a loud burp, his body suddenly settled down.
His bulging body returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
An Lin was just about to make his way over to him when An Kirin’s waist suddenly bulged!
Five miniature balls of lightning with different colors and were connected by a band of Golden Void Lightning suddenly appeared around his waist like a belt. No, not like a belt, it WAS a belt!
The blue, crimson, golden, green, and purple balls of lightning all released terrifying energy fluctuations, but they revolved around An Kirin’s waist as if they were obedient underlings.

What the fck?! Is my eyesight failing me? What the hell is going on here? He just made those terrifying balls of lightning into his belt?!

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird swore as her outlook on cultivation was flipped on its head.
An Lin made his way over to An Kirin with a curious expression.
An Kirin put his hands on his waist and raised his little head like a valiant hero.
When An Lin poked An Kirin’s belt, an extremely vast intent of divine lightning flowed from his fingertip into his entire body, making him shudder violently.
It was also at this moment that a sense of resonation welled up in his heart.
Immediately afterward, the true intents of countless lightning techniques exploded in his mind!

An Lin, are you alright?
From what the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird could see, it appeared as if An Lin had suddenly been electrocuted. She immediately made her way over to him with a concerned expression.

I’m fine.
An Lin came to his senses from the power of divine lightning.
After enjoying a satisfying meal, An Kirin transformed into a streak of golden light and returned to An Lin’s sea of vital energy.
An Lin’s eyes gradually lit up, and lightning seemed to be flashing in his eyes.
He extended a finger.
Crackle!
Lightning flashed and a bolt of five-colored lightning—blue, crimson, golden, green, and purple—danced on his fingertips while emitting extremely vibrant colors.
Terrifying lightning might swept through the air, to the point that even the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was struck by a sense of fear.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird stared at the beautiful and dazzling lightning dancing on An Lin’s fingertips, and she yelled with shock,
This… Is that the power from those balls of lightning?

Not only are you capable of using their powers, but you even fused them together?!


Not bad, right? This is lightning formed from my Golden Void Lightning combined with the fundamental lightning powers of those five balls of lightning.
A smug smile appeared on An Lin’s face.

Not bad is an understatement! It’s insane! Unbelievable!
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was gripped by astonishment as she stared at the lightning in An Lin’s hands.

I want to name it rainbow lightning? What do you think?
An Lin asked.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s lips twitched.
Just name it whatever makes you happy.

An Lin patted one of the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s wings with a smile on his face.
I’ve taken care of the danger here, so we can leave now.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird shook her head.
Those balls of lightning have been taken care of, but there is still an extremely powerful trap formation here…

An Lin flicked a finger at a certain spot in the air.
Boom!
The trap formation collapsed.
An Lin:
How about now?

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird:
…

Thus, the two of them flew into the sky and returned to the lightning pit.

My Divine Sun Feather has cracked open a little from being crashed into by those balls of lightning. It won’t have a lot of energy left, so we have to hurry to the end of the lightning pit!
the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird said in an urgent voice.
Right at this moment, all of the terrifying bolts of lightning in the sky seemed to have grown minds of their own, and they all moved aside to give An Lin and the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird a wide berth.
An Lin turned to her with a smile.
There’s no need to hurry, they wouldn’t dare to strike us.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird:
…

He could even manipulate the Five-Colored Divine Lightning here?!
What a human hack!
She was suddenly struck by the feeling that she knew far too little about An Lin.

Oh, right, Vermilion Bird Princess, revert back to your original form!
An Lin suddenly spoke.

Huh? Why?
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s heart rate suddenly began to accelerate.
Was An Lin stating this request because… he liked her human form?

Why? Are you kidding me? Look at how massive you are in this form! I have to manipulate so much lightning to keep you safe. Make yourself smaller so that it won’t be so tiring for me!
An Lin snapped.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird:
…

She suddenly felt as if her heart had been broken, and she really wanted to hit someone.
A dazzling light flashed past.
A petite young woman in a colorful dress appeared beside An Lin.
Nine different colored streamers danced around her while exuding divine lights, making her appear as if she were a refreshing Celestial Maiden. Her features were flawlessly beautiful, and she glared at An Lin with a sulky expression in her large, gorgeous eyes.
Are you happy now?


Hehe, perfect! You’re much more adorable in this form.
An Lin gave her a thumbs-up.

Let’s go.
The Vermilion Bird Princess rolled her eyes at An Lin before making her way forward in her red high heels.
However, An Lin suddenly grabbed onto one of her soft, petite hands at this moment.

Wh… what are you doing?


Don’t get too far away. Stay as close to me as possible to reduce my lightning manipulation workload!


Oh…

The Vermilion Bird Princess’ cheeks were flushed as she nodded obediently. She inched her body closer to An Lin’s and walked on slowly. Thankfully, the claps of thunder around them masked the sound of her flustered, thumping heart.
No matter how terrifying the divine lightning was, all of them bowed to An Lin as if they had seen their king.
The Vermilion Bird Princess was suddenly struck by a sense of security as she walked alongside An Lin.
