Under Lin Fan's gaze, the orbs of light in the prize pool swayed and bounced incessantly. A golden orb dropped out, making his pupils contract.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained gold-Words Become Law divine ability!]
Words Become Law: with a single utterance, the myriad Daos submit. Cultivated to its pinnacle, a spoken word can destroy the universe.
Holy shit!
Fucking awesome!
Lin Fan was overjoyed. Gold on his first single pull-who could compete?
His luck was incredible. He was a bona fide luck emperor!
Words Become Law was a divine ability only acquired upon cultivating to the Sage realm, but judging by the divine ability the system had rewarded him with, it was probably even more terrifying than a Sage's Words Become Law.
"Explode!"
A Quasi-Saint weapon appeared in Lin Fan's hand and floated into the air. He uttered a single word, and after resisting violently a few times, the weapon exploded into fragments on the spot.
Lin Fan was delighted. He only felt that it had consumed quite a bit of spiritual power and a large amount of mental power.
He was very satisfied with Words Become Law. It suited his villainous swagger. In the future, he would only have to say "Die!" or "Kneel!" Heh heh! Ruthless men spoke few words!
Looking at the dazzling array of rewards, Lin Fan could not help getting carried away. Why not try again? Maybe I can get gold once or twice more.
He acted on the thought immediately. "System, give me a ten-pull."
[Ding! Host has spent 100,000 Villain Points and obtained ten...]
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The orbs in the prize pool swayed and bounced again. Lin Fan's heart bounced along with them as he stared without blinking, watching the orbs drop one after another.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained green-black-stocking maid outfit!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained white-All-Round Nourishment Pill!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained blue-Vajra Technique!]
Vajra Technique: once practiced, you can fight a hundred battles without tiring, your golden spear never falling! A filling station for men, happiness for women-whether your family relationships are good depends on whether you practice it!
What the hell? What is all this crap?
Lin Fan felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him. All his excitement from pulling gold vanished.
It seemed that pulling a gold had used up all his luck.
His face darkened. What garbage was the system giving him? Nine consecutive pulls, and only one blue, four greens, and five whites. Who would not shake their head at that?
Wait, the Vajra Technique is somewhat useful.
Mm, it's not that I want the Vajra Technique. I have a friend who wants it...
There was still one last chance...
Lin Fan did not hold out much hope for it.
Having obtained gold once, he could not lose out overall. He only hoped the guaranteed purple would be a decent reward, so this would not be such a loss.
On the final pull, a purple orb dropped out. [Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained purple-Nine Dragons Pulling a Hall Mount!]
Nine Dragons Pulling a Hall: nine Quasi-Saint Realm true dragons with the potential to grow. Together, they can slay a Sage.
At the reward, Lin Fan's eyes lit up. "A nine-dragon mount! Now that's swagger!"
In the Ancient World, the Dragon Clan was a mighty race comparable to a supreme imperial clan. Few dared use them as mounts; most used offshoots of true dragons instead.
Anyone using a mixed-blood dragon as a mount was displaying their exalted status, let alone a true dragon!
Heh heh!
With the thought of quitting while he was ahead, Lin Fan closed the prize pool. Once he had saved up a little more next time, he would do fifty pulls!
He took a look. He still had 104,000 Villain Points left.
He planned to add some cultivation, but he would fuse with the World-Destroying Double Pupils first. He said softly, "System, fuse the World-Destroying Double Pupils with me!"
The World-Destroying Double Pupils were a divine treasure on the same level as the Chaos Gods and Devils Body.
Lin Fan's words fell.
He felt his eyes heat up as a warm current poured into them. A mysterious, noble purple-gold divine gleam flashed, and terrifying visions of world destruction unfolded within his pupils.
The universe was destroyed, the universe was born, life continuing without end in an endless cycle.
Outside the courtyard.
Lin Dong, who had previously gone to hunt down Great Emperor Baiyun, was sitting there.
Besides him, a beautiful, shapely mature woman wearing a blue-and-white immortal dress and an ice crown was glaring at the distinguished head of the Lin Clan, Lin Dong, and berating him.
"Lin Dong, look what you've done!"
"You just had to send Lin Fan out to temper himself, making my son suffer this calamity! Who knows how much hardship he endured! Thank goodness Fan'er is fine. If anything had happened to him, I would never let you off!"
This beautiful mature woman was none other than Lin Fan's mother, the Ice Immortal, Ji Ningshuang!
Lin Dong was speechless, disbelief in his eyes. Weren't you the one who told Fan'er to go out and temper himself and bring you back a daughter-in-law?
How-how is it all my fault?
But after thinking about his wife's temperament, he knew her concern had thrown her into disarray.
In the end, Lin Dong opened his mouth but could not get a word out. He shook his head helplessly, not taking it to heart.
The illustrious Unfettered Sword Emperor, head of the Lin Clan, had once shaken the Ancient Continent with his name and towered over generations of powerhouses. Only his own wife could keep him in check.
Beside several stone tables, a few old men dozed and secretly chuckled, never minding if the spectacle grew bigger.
Sensing another disturbance in Lin Fan's room, the fifth elder said, "Holy crap, hadn't Fan'er finished awakening? Why is his presence rising again?"
Rumble!
Just then, a rumbling sound rang out above Lin Fan's courtyard.
Ji Ningshuang's beautiful eyes sharpened. "Oh no! Why is there a lightning tribulation? Has something happened to Fan'er?"
The second elder went up and kicked each of the elders. "Stop fucking sleeping! Something's happening!"
The elders shuddered and looked up at the sky.
The previously clear sky above the Lin Clan abruptly turned pitch-black, thick with storm clouds. Dark clouds shrouded the entire Lin Clan, muffled sounds coming from within them as though ferocious beasts were awakening.
"A lightning tribulation!"
"A Quasi-Emperor-level lightning tribulation. Xiao Fu must be breaking through!"
"It has nothing to do with Fan'er. Rest assured, my wife. Fan'er will be fine!"
Lin Dong's gaze sharpened, a brilliant gleam flashing in his imperial eyes. He discerned what was happening at a glance and reached out to soothe Ji Ningshuang. Only upon hearing him did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, Uncle Fu stepped into the air from the courtyard, radiating an overwhelmingly powerful Quasi-Emperor presence as he flew high into the sky.
"Good. Our Lin Clan has gained another Quasi-Emperor."
At the sight, the old men immediately perked up, their expressions both delighted and solemn.
For a Sage King to advance to Quasi-Emperor, they only needed to survive the lightning tribulation.
This tribulation was not easy to survive. Throughout the ages, countless astonishingly talented Sage Kings had fallen to it, their bodies perishing and their Dao vanishing.
Meanwhile, the lightning tribulation surged, and a tribulation bolt struck toward Uncle Fu.
The Quasi-Emperor Tribulation had nine stages of lightning tribulation in total. Each stage added another tribulation bolt, and the power doubled with each stage, until nine bolts descended together. Surviving the tribulation meant becoming a Quasi-Emperor.
As expected, Uncle Fu easily withstood the first tribulation bolt.
At that moment, the lightning tribulation shook the Three Thousand Provinces of the Desolate Ancient Land.
When the earth-shaking phenomenon had first appeared in the Lin Clan's domain, the powerhouses of the three thousand provinces had already turned their attention there.
Now, as they watched Uncle Fu break through, another disturbance arose in the Lin Clan.
Many orthodoxies received the news, and powerhouses from supreme imperial clans, imperial clans, imperial sects, and other orthodoxies rushed to the Lin Clan.
At this, many powerhouses could not help frowning. Only days after the phenomenon disappeared, someone in the Lin Clan was breaking through to Quasi-Emperor. Was this not too much of a coincidence?
Could the Lin Clan's Godslayer Saint King have obtained a great opportunity, allowing him to break through to Quasi-Emperor?
Normally, a lightning tribulation was a cultivator's most critical moment.
There would certainly be many who wanted to interfere and disrupt it, unwilling to see the Lin Clan gain another Quasi-Emperor.
However, they recalled the Lin Clan's overbearing actions a few days ago, when two emperors had forcibly slain two Luo Family Ancestors, beating the Luo Clan into seclusion.
No one dared invite the Lin Clan's wrath again.
Finally, nine tribulation bolts descended together. Uncle Fu fought on, bathed in blood, his Law of Slaughter shaking the heavens. The lightning tribulation dispersed, and Uncle Fu advanced to the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Just then!
An abrupt change occurred...
Rumble!
Just as everyone thought the lightning tribulation was about to disperse, something unexpected happened. The dispersing lightning tribulation actually began gathering again at an incredible speed!
