Chapter 1583: Ancient Mystery, My Intent Tribulation

Wang Lin did not know if anyone before him, in the years past, had faced a Heavenly Tribulation with such a vast heart, with such a calm and composed mind, to inversely send down a tribulation upon the heavens and earth.

Nor did he know if anyone in the endless years after him would do the same. He knew nothing; he only knew one thing: this time, he would thoroughly confront the Heavenly Tribulation, suppress the Heavenly Tribulation, transform himself into the Heavenly Dao, not to punish all living beings, but to punish this Heavenly Tribulation!

This scene was a battle between Heavenly Tribulations, a scene unprecedented in the Inner Realm throughout history.

As Wang Lin uttered the words 'Lightning Tribulation', within the Star Domain mist covering a million-li radius, where an endless Vortex spun in the sky and streaks of green silver serpents writhed, the lightning mark in Wang Lin's right eye in this Star Domain mist suddenly flashed, emitting boundless light.

In an instant, several bolts of lightning similarly flashed from Wang Lin's right eye, traversing his face and spreading throughout his body, finally flowing to his white hair. Explosions echoed, and from afar, Wang Lin at this moment appeared to be clad in an armor of lightning, like a Monarch of Thunder.

Rumbling sounds suddenly arose. The sky Vortex spun more and more violently. As it rotated, endless lightning instantly converged from all directions of the Vortex towards its center. Dazzling green light shot forth, and at the end of that green light, the first Lightning Tribulation of Wang Lin's Third Step Heavenly Tribulation appeared with a roar.

That green light pierced through the million-li mist. From the outside, the mist was almost dyed green, appearing spectacular while also giving a shocking feeling.

But to Wang Lin, this bolt of Heavenly Lightning condensed within the green light was ten thousand zhang thick. It came from the depths of the Vortex, carrying a strange Aura; it did not belong to this world.

It descended from an unknown place, burst out of the Vortex, and with a deafening roar, charged directly towards Wang Lin, like a green evil Dragon, struggling and roaring, about to devour Wang Lin.

It wanted to devour Wang Lin, destroy him, and prevent the existence of a Third Step mighty figure who cultivated against the heavens in this world!

Wang Lin's expression was calm. He raised his head, coldly gazing at the mist Vortex in the sky, watching the green lightning spreading around the Vortex, about to descend upon him, and his eyes flashed.

"Today, I, Wang, wish to send down a tribulation upon the Heavenly Tribulation. The first tribulation is called My Intent Lightning Tribulation!" The moment Wang Lin spoke these words, the lightning bolts covering his entire body erupted, frantically spreading outwards. As they spread, in an instant, a giant lightning mark, also ten thousand zhang in size, formed above Wang Lin.

This lightning mark was completely different from the green color of the Heavenly Tribulation; it was red, crimson like blood! As this blood-colored lightning appeared, it immediately emitted endless red light, transforming into Wang Lin's Lightning Tribulation. With the emergence of this red Lightning Tribulation, the heavens and earth changed color, the mist rolled back, and the entire Kunxu Star Domain shook violently.

He raised his right hand and pointed at the roaring green Heavenly Lightning above. The crimson Lightning Tribulation immediately swayed, also transforming into a bolt of Heavenly Lightning, rushing straight towards the sky.

This scene was incredibly astonishing! From a distance, one could clearly see two bolts of Heavenly Lightning, one green and one red, approaching each other from opposite directions at an alarming speed, with rumbling roars, getting closer and closer.

This scene made it almost impossible to distinguish which was the Heavenly Tribulation lightning. There was even an illusion that both bolts of lightning were Heavenly Tribulations. Similarly, it made it impossible to distinguish whether the Heavenly Tribulation was punishing Wang Lin, or… Wang Lin was punishing this Heavenly Tribulation!

Within the million-li mist, in an instant, the two bolts of Heavenly Lightning collided, causing a sky-shattering roar. The green Heavenly Lightning and Wang Lin's crimson Lightning Tribulation engaged in a fierce impact the moment they touched.

Like two meteors, they continuously devoured and canceled each other out. Amidst the roar, the green Heavenly Lightning dissipated extremely quickly, shrinking to only a few thousand zhang in less than a few breaths. Moreover, under Wang Lin's crimson Lightning Tribulation, it was unable to advance and was slowly being devoured.

But at this moment, the mist Vortex above suddenly reversed, turning sharply in the opposite direction. With this turn, a roar rose again, and another bolt of green Heavenly Lightning came roaring, fusing with the previous Heavenly Lightning, heading straight for Wang Lin's crimson Lightning Tribulation.

It wasn't just one; the third, fourth, fifth… up to the ninth green Heavenly Lightning descended almost simultaneously. After fusing, they became boundless, lightning like water, pouring out from the Vortex, threatening to annihilate the world with thunder!

Wang Lin's crimson Lightning Tribulation instantly dissipated rapidly under this sudden surge of green Heavenly Lightning.

A wave of Qi containing the power of lightning rolled back in all directions, stirring up the mist and sweeping across the surroundings, causing Situ and the others outside the mist to show horror in their eyes amidst the roar and sight.

But this scene could not move Old Ghost Zhan in the other direction in the slightest. His expression was calm, as if he saw everything, and he shook his head slightly.

"He shouldn't be the third. If he were, he wouldn't be so weak… Forget it, I've been searching for the third for countless tens of thousands of years, how could it be so easy…" With a sigh, Old Ghost Zhan withdrew his gaze from the mist, his expression slightly dim, as if he had lost all interest, and turned to leave.

But the moment he turned to leave, he suddenly let out an 'eh', spun around abruptly, and his disappointed eyes revealed an extremely bright light.

Wang Lin, deep within the mist, his white hair moved without wind. As the crimson Lightning Tribulation suddenly dissipated and the immensely vast green Heavenly Lightning, carrying destructive and strange Aura, crashed down, he took a step forward. With this step, Wang Lin's figure vanished, reappearing high in the sky, directly beneath the descending green Heavenly Lightning.

He raised his right hand and gently pressed a palm towards the boundless green Heavenly Lightning.

"Lightning that comes from who knows where, I, Wang Lin, comprehend the Origin of lightning, and am the master of all heavenly and earthly lightning. You either obey me, or… collapse before me."

Time seemed to halt at this moment, and the scene became eternal. In that scene, Wang Lin's white hair fluttered, and with one hand, he touched the nine-in-one green Heavenly Lightning, stopping its descent.

Before the green Heavenly Lightning, Wang Lin's body was incredibly tiny, but his palm, the moment it touched the green Heavenly Lightning, seemed to grasp its Soul of Thunder!

With a calm expression, Wang Lin closed his eyes. He felt the green Heavenly Lightning's unyielding spirit and roar behind his palm, felt its struggling and resisting screams, and felt the fear in its thoughts.

"Understood, then you shall be destroyed." Wang Lin opened his eyes and spoke softly, while simultaneously waving his right hand at the green lightning.

With this wave, the green lightning violently shook, and silently, it collapsed right before Wang Lin!

It transformed into countless green crystalline lights, spreading out directly, like myriad green fireflies, slowly disappearing as they diffused.

Wang Lin stood within the continuously dissipating green light, his figure appearing slightly blurry. He looked up at the distant Vortex above, and Wang Lin pointed with his right hand.

"By my will, let a Lightning Tribulation rise, to punish the heavens and earth!"

Suddenly, a red Lightning Tribulation appeared out of thin air to Wang Lin's left, rumbling as it moved straight towards the Vortex above. At the same time, the second, third… countless bolts of lightning, centered around Wang Lin, emerged out of thin air in all directions, roaring into existence the moment they appeared.

In a blink of an eye, the place where Wang Lin stood seemed to become a domain of lightning. The bolts of lightning, from dozens to hundreds, and finally thousands and tens of thousands, roared forth with thunderous might.

Ten thousand crimson lightning bolts, punishing the Heavenly Tribulation!

Tens of thousands of crimson lightning bolts moved simultaneously, breaking through the distance and heading straight for the distant Vortex above. In an instant, these lightning bolts approached and directly blasted into the Vortex!

Earth-shattering sounds rapidly echoed. The bolts of Lightning Tribulation belonging to Wang Lin, with continuous bombardment, made the Vortex above increasingly thin, almost on the verge of collapsing. Finally, with a heaven-shattering roar, the spinning Vortex suddenly disintegrated and vanished from Wang Lin's sight.

But at this moment, a huge Rift, ten thousand zhang long, appeared where the Vortex had dissipated. A muffled roar emanated from within, and a massive four-cornered pavilion, like an altar, slowly extended out from the Rift.

As it appeared, the muffled roar became clearer. In just an instant, this four-cornered altar pavilion had emerged halfway, revealing two corners, allowing Wang Lin to see a blurry figure sitting cross-legged at the very center of the four-cornered altar, surrounded by four swords.

"By my will, let a Fire Tribulation rise, to burn the heavens and destroy the earth!" The Fire Totem in Wang Lin's left eye suddenly flashed, and raging flames directly spread out, encircling Wang Lin, forming a burning mass of fire.

As Wang Lin pointed his left hand upwards, the flames engulfing him violently spread outwards: a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang, a hundred li, a thousand li, ten thousand li… This speed of expansion was accomplished in a single thought from Wang Lin. At this moment, he stood within the flames, surrounded by a sea of fire spanning tens of thousands of li. Under Wang Lin's pointing finger, this tens of thousands of li sea of fire roared upwards, rushing towards the sky with an Aura that seemed to incinerate it.

In a blink of an eye, even the surrounding mist seemed to ignite, illuminated by the firelight. The ten-thousand-zhang Rift above was completely swallowed by the flames. Unlike the roar of lightning, the sound of the burning flames now connected into a continuous crackling, and waves of heat rolled outwards.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with a cold light. He flicked his large sleeve and took a step forward, appearing directly within the sea of fire above, near the four-cornered altar that had emerged halfway from the Rift. He raised his right hand and directly pressed a palm through the air towards the blurry figure sitting cross-legged on the altar.

As he pressed, his hand clenched into a fist, as if grasping something.

"Karma mark!"

The weather is too hot, and I'm feeling irritable, so I'm writing slowly. The next chapter is expected around 7 PM. Fellow Daoists, please forgive me. Also, Er Gen will be interviewed by Ku6 in Beijing on the 23rd. You can go and see my true face then, hehe.
