The purple lightning fell from the sky.
It was larger than all the previous bolts combined.
The terrifying pressure made everyone hold their breath.
Lin Tian looked up.
His legs trembled.
But he did not run.
The old man’s voice echoed in his mind.
“Good.” “Circulate the Heaven-Devouring Eternal Art.” “Open every meridian.” Lin Tian closed his eyes for a brief moment.
He took a deep breath.
The Heaven-Devouring Eternal Art began circulating at full speed.
Spiritual Qi flowed through his entire body.
His Heaven-Forbidden Root awakened.
A strange black aura surrounded him.
The old man shouted, “Now!” Lin Tian raised both hands toward the sky.
BOOM!!
The purple lightning struck him directly.
A blinding light covered the entire flying ship.
Everyone closed their eyes.
The sound shook the clouds.
Yue Qingxue cried out, “Lin Tian!” When the light finally faded…
Lin Tian was still standing.
His clothes were torn.
His body was covered with burns.
Smoke rose from his skin.
But he had not fallen.
The disciples stared in disbelief.
“He…
survived?” “That’s impossible!” Gu Han’s face turned pale.
“No one at the Body Tempering Realm could survive that.” Inside Lin Tian’s body, something incredible was happening.
The purple lightning had not disappeared.
Instead, it flowed through his meridians.
The Heaven-Devouring Eternal Art was absorbing it.
The old man laughed loudly.
“It worked!” “It really worked!” Lin Tian clenched his fists.
He could feel a new power spreading through his body.
The pain slowly faded.
His wounds began to heal.
Even the burns disappeared before everyone’s eyes.
Yue Qingxue’s blue eyes widened.
“His injuries…” “They’re healing by themselves.” Elder Chen looked at Lin Tian with a serious expression.
“What kind of physique is this…?” Above them, the black clouds began to disperse.
The Heavenly Tribulation had ended.
Sunlight broke through the clouds once more.
The pressure vanished.
The flying ship became quiet.
Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes.
Purple sparks danced around his fingertips before disappearing.
He looked at his hands.
“I…” “I feel stronger.” The old man nodded.
“You didn’t just survive.” “You absorbed part of the Heavenly Lightning.” “But don’t use that power carelessly.” “It is still unstable.” Before Lin Tian could ask another question…
A golden beam of light suddenly descended from the sky.
It landed directly in front of him.
Inside the light floated a small purple crystal.
Everyone on the ship stared at it.
Elder Chen whispered, “A Heavenly Reward…” “I’ve only read about such things in ancient records.” The crystal slowly floated toward Lin Tian.
Without warning…
It entered his body.
Lin Tian’s eyes widened.
A mysterious symbol appeared on the back of his right hand.
It glowed for a moment…
Then disappeared beneath his skin.
The old man’s voice became unusually serious.
“Lin Tian…” “It seems the heavens have marked you.”
