Chapter 616: Chapter 597: The Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree Acknowledges Tianming as Master! The Sky Thunder Abyss Master Goes Mad!
The protective array capable of withstanding a True God’s attack shattered, sending the entire city of Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss into unprecedented panic.
The last time the protective array shattered was when the Deceit God True Body descended ten thousand years ago!
Could it be... that the Deceit God who forced the entire Divine Country into self-seal for survival has returned?
The enraged voice of the Sky Thunder Abyss Master resounded immediately after, further plunging the city of the abyss into even deeper fear.
"Could it really be the return of the Deceit God? Only his descent could easily shatter the array that withstands True Gods!"
"I...I have not experienced the self-seal catastrophe of ten thousand years ago, but I have heard of the terror when the Deceit God True Body descended... No, I...I just ascended to godhood recently and don’t want to die!"
"Even the Sky Thunder Abyss Master has been alarmed! It seems... it seems like the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree has been uprooted! Even the Deceit God True Body’s descent ten thousand years ago didn’t achieve that!"
At this moment, within the Black Shining Secret Realm, Lin Tianming, who had just uprooted the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, could finally happily consume the Black Shining Holy Thunder.
This is how it should be!
This amount...fits the stomach!
Yes... that’s right, I feel it coming!
Directly absorbing the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree itself, Lin Tianming, who previously had minimal results, began to rapidly escalate in level.
In just a brief moment, he reached the peak of the Fourth Order God and broke through to the Fifth Order God like a force of unstoppable momentum.
Finally, at half the power of a Fifth-order Divine Power, Lin Tianming’s level aura gradually stabilized.
He could continue to absorb the Black Shining Holy Thunder from the tree, but it could no longer provide him with the cultivation effects to enhance his level.
Under the watchful gaze of other Ascended Gods, who looked at him as if he were a monster, Lin Tianming slowly opened his eyes and ended his cultivation.
Upon opening his eyes, he was stunned.
Where is the Black Shining Holy Thunder Pool?
Why is there a massive hole leading to the depths of the Heavenly Thunder Abyss before me?
And floating in mid-air before him was the same Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree he had seen at the lowest layer!
Lin Tianming, having been in an intensely focused state of cultivation, could never have imagined that all this was caused by his cultivation.
Before he could comprehend the situation, Jiang Han quickly ran towards him.
"Friend Tianming, are you alright?"
Jiang Han looked at Lin Tianming with concern, fearing that he might have suffered some side effects from absorbing too much Black Shining Holy Thunder.
Touched by Jiang Han’s concern, Lin Tianming naturally felt moved.
But he was perfectly fine!
"Teacher Jiang Han, what could possibly be wrong with me? I’ve already broken through to half the level of a Fifth Order God. With a bit more effort, I can strive for the peak of Fifth Order and challenge the Sixth Order God!"
Even though Lin Tianming said this, Jiang Han still circled around him several times, anxious.
After thoroughly confirming that her beloved student was alright, she finally relaxed.
At that moment, the Dragon Emperor also came over.
Lin Tianming, curious about what was happening, saw the Dragon Emperor approaching and asked her.
"What’s happening? Why is the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree floating on its own?"
Seeing that Lin Tianming was completely unaware, the Dragon Emperor paused for a long while before answering his question with a complex expression.
"You did this. Just now, you drained all the Black Shining Holy Thunder from the pool and even uprooted the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree!"
Hearing that he was the cause of all this, Lin Tianming was dumbfounded.
He felt he hadn’t absorbed that much!
How had he drained the Black Shining Holy Thunder Pool, which had accumulated over endless ages?
And even uprooted the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree... Did he really do that?
However, the next scene excited Lin Tianming.
The Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree floating in mid-air actively flew towards him.
The massive tree trunk quickly shrank to the size of a palm and circled around Lin Tianming.
Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor felt a bit dizzy.
"This... Is this acknowledging its master? The Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree actually... actually chose to recognize you as its master!"
"It seems so, I didn’t plan on taking it, but it took such a liking to me that I had no choice but to accept!"
Lin Tianming was ecstatic.
He could feel the terrifying power of the Black Shining Holy Thunder contained in the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, which was not inferior to the Sky Thunder Abyss Master he had seen before.
Although he couldn’t continue to absorb the Black Shining Holy Thunder from the tree for cultivation, he could harness its vast power to fight against ordinary True Gods.
Just as Lin Tianming was about to secure the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, a terrifying suppression from a True God instantly enveloped him.
"So it was you! I knew people from the Abandoned Land couldn’t be trusted!"
"How dare you steal the foundation of my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss, the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, you’re courting death!"
"Hand over the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree quickly! I might consider the reputations of the Angel Xingyao and the Eternal Night Star Palace, punish you, and then let you go!"
The nearby Genetic Ascension Gods witnessing this scene gasped in shock, not daring to come any closer.
"Lin Tianming is done for this time... He’s offended the Sky Thunder Abyss Master, what was he thinking?"
"Even if he hands over the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, the Sky Thunder Abyss Master is likely to give him a beating!"
"Looking at the Sky Thunder Abyss Master... It seems he has long wanted a reason to severely beat Lin Tianming, considering Lin Tianming has indeed caused great embarrassment to the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss!"
Lin Tianming ignored the discussions around him and faced the Sky Thunder Abyss Master’s True God’s suppression without flinching.
However, Jiang Han and the Thunder Dragon Emperor, who were standing with him, were more nervous than ever.
Jiang Han asked softly, "Friend Tianming, what should we do next?"
"Don’t worry, Teacher Jiang Han, I won’t let you get hurt. You stay here with the Thunder Dragon Emperor."
After speaking, Lin Tianming stepped forward and approached the Sky Thunder Abyss Master.
"Sky Thunder Abyss Master, I didn’t intend to steal the foundational Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree of your Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss. It chose me as its master itself. If you can make it willingly follow you, I will not stop it!"
Lin Tianming stood confidently in front of the Sky Thunder Abyss Master, acting as though he was letting the Abyss Master take the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree.
The Sky Thunder Abyss Master laughed angrily.
"The Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree is created by the Genetic Technology of my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss. It recognizing you as its master? Stop dreaming!"
After rebuking Lin Tianming, he continued, "Seeing that you’re offering up the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree willingly, I might let you off easily later on!"
As his words fell, the Abyss Master stretched out his hand, attempting to snatch the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree surrounding Lin Tianming.
Unexpectedly, the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, sensing the Abyss Master’s attempt to seize it, hid behind Lin Tianming.
At that moment, the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree seemed like a sentient child, feeling safe only behind Lin Tianming.
And the Sky Thunder Abyss Master was like a bad person trying to lure it away!
Moreover, it strongly resisted the power of the Abyss Master, unshaken in the slightest.
Subsequently, the Abyss Master used various means, but couldn’t shake the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree hiding behind Lin Tianming.
This completely infuriated the Sky Thunder Abyss Master.
Lin Tianming couldn’t help but say, "It seems the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree genuinely likes me, Sky Thunder Abyss Master. I didn’t mean to take it away!"
Already furious, Lin Tianming’s comment made the Sky Thunder Abyss Master explode in rage.
"The Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree is created by the Genetic Technology of my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss, it’s the stabilizing foundation of my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss, and must not be taken away by anyone!"
"Even if it develops spiritual wisdom and recognizes a master independently, it cannot leave my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss!"
"Since it has recognized you as its master voluntarily, then I will kill you to ensure it can stay safe in my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss!"
The Sky Thunder Abyss Master’s murderous intent was evident, and he hurled the True God-level Black Shining Holy Thunder at Lin Tianming.
The Thunder Dragon Emperor and Jiang Han, watching from behind, were stunned.
"Lin Tianming, be careful!"
"Friend Tianming, quickly dodge!"
However, Lin Tianming did not dodge; instead, he activated the power of the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, directly confronting the True God-level Black Shining Holy Thunder attack from the Sky Thunder Abyss Master.
The Sky Thunder Abyss Master’s Black Shining Holy Thunder, originally from the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree, was completely absorbed by Lin Tianming using the tree.
"Lord of Sky Thunder Abyss, the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree has willingly recognized me as its master, a mutual agreement showing that I’m its true fated one.
If you harbor murderous intentions and act against me, and I end up killing you in defense, you can only blame yourself!"
