Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 724 - 744: The Last Thunder

Chu Lin never paid attention to the lightning strike that descended, his eyes were fixed on the movements of the Nether Beasts. The first bolt of Burning Thunder struck his body, making him shudder.

As the Burning Thunder struck, the surrounding Nether Beasts all retreated a few steps, except for the Fire Scorpion. Perhaps as a Fire Element Nether Beast, it was not very afraid of Burning Thunder.

Chu Lin glared at the Fire Scorpion in frustration and said, "This guy isn’t afraid of lightning at all, or perhaps the lightning simply can’t strike him, sitting there so confidently."

"The Fire Scorpion’s power has advanced to the Ninth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, so naturally, his mind is akin to a human’s. He saw the lightning strikes on the four fruit earlier and already knew the outcome. Now, he’s just waiting for the last bolt to hit you and intends to snatch the Fire Fruit," Sword Spirit replied immediately.

"Truly despicable, once I obtain the Fire Fruit, I’ll ensure to slay this loathsome creature!" Chu Lin said in frustration.

Then, the second bolt of lightning struck, blasting Chu Lin back a few meters. He felt this Burning Thunder was much greater than the second bolt of the other attribute. Could this be because of the last attribute fruit? What about the third bolt — could it be even more formidable? Chu Lin wondered in his heart.

He quickly got up and saw the Fire Scorpion crawling toward him. It seems it really plans to snatch the Fire Fruit as soon as the third Burning Thunder descends.

Just as Chu Lin felt anxious, Sword Spirit suddenly said, "Looks like you don’t need my help after all; your companion has already arrived."

Chu Lin was slightly puzzled by Sword Spirit’s words; since when did he have a companion? However, he soon realized, "Could it be she has come? How is this possible!"

"Indeed, Kong Feifei is here. But if she sees you like this, it would be quite embarrassing, wouldn’t it? She might even turn away, thinking you’re nothing but a rogue!" Sword Spirit said.

Looking at his wretched state, Chu Lin smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how good the clothes are, they won’t withstand a lightning strike. I’d better put something on lest she truly mistakes me for a savage."

He took a pair of shorts from his Storage Ring and put them on. Chu Lin then saw a figure quickly flying toward him in the distance and soon arrived in front of him.

The clouds in the sky grew heavier, denser than before, making it seem as though night suddenly fell, reducing visibility to less than five hundred meters, indicating how powerful this lightning would be.

Kong Feifei had also been attracted by the lightning. From thousands of miles away, she felt its terror. Lightning is rare in the Netherworld; it either heralds the emergence of treasure or the ascension of a demonic entity. Now, seeing lightning in the Land of the Dead, she had to investigate.

However, upon arrival, she found it hard to believe her eyes. The little thief was here, but his entire body was charred black, hair standing on end like an explosion; apart from his eyes showing white, the rest was beyond words.

"Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to recover within the soil?" Kong Feifei asked immediately.

"I left after recovering; never thought I’d run into you here — what a coincidence!" Chu Lin evaded the topic. He dared not say he left without seeing Kong Feifei, lest she had waited there for him, exposing his lie immediately.

"A coincidence? How dare you tell me that? I waited for you there for a full seven days! Did you leave early, tricking me on purpose?" Kong Feifei said angrily.

"Heaven and earth as my witness, I wouldn’t deceive you. When I came out, you were no longer there. Because I was fast, I arrived here in advance. Never mind that now; help me deal with that scorpion, this Fire Fruit is essential for me," Chu Lin said earnestly.

He wanted to say, "If I’m lying, may lightning strike me." But he’d already been struck countless times, and an even more formidable bolt awaited him. Saying so would only substantiate his lie, as it had come true immediately.

Kong Feifei looked at the fruit before Chu Lin, indeed fiery red, with strong Fire Attribute Energy fluctuations. She knew it was no ordinary fruit, but since he claimed it was highly useful to him, she felt awkward to fight over it.

Then she glanced at the Fire Scorpion not far away and was surprised to find it on par with her strength, realizing she needed to treat it with caution.

"Alright, but what’s with the lightning in the sky? Is it meant for you?" Kong Feifei asked doubtfully.

Chu Lin chuckled bitterly, "That’s right, otherwise I wouldn’t be in such a sorry state. Please help!"

Kong Feifei nodded and approached the Fire Scorpion. Just then, immense pressure suddenly appeared in the sky, unlike anything before, stunning Chu Lin. "Sister Yue’Er, what’s going on? I’m afraid this Burning Thunder is beyond what I can handle!"

The pressure made Chu Lin feel a sense of crisis, an intuition he’d never experienced before, making him fearful for the first time.

"I’m not sure. Maybe it’s because you forced the Five Elements Fruit to mature and incurred a Celestial Punishment. Let Kong Feifei leave here; even if you can’t obtain this Fire Fruit, you can still get it at an auction in the Immortal Realm, albeit at a hefty price," Sword Spirit advised.

Chu Lin quickly urged Kong Feifei, "Feifei, leave here now, this Burning Thunder is extremely powerful, you might get severely injured, trust me! No time to deal with the scorpion!"

Kong Feifei, seeing Chu Lin’s anxious expression, knew he wasn’t lying. It was the first time seeing him look so flustered and promptly flew away.

She wanted to ask Chu Lin why he wouldn’t flee, but seeing his determined gaze, she held back.

Then Sword Spirit said, "Lin Feng, circulate the Thunder Element within your body wildly, this final bolt is no ordinary Burning Thunder. You might be facing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder you haven’t encountered — the Burning Thunder! It combines lightning and Celestial Fire; if you survive it, you’ll undergo an upgrade mightier than the Five Elements Thunder.

I can’t fathom why you attracted such terrifying lightning. Usually, it only appears during the Divine Tribulation, and frankly, your strength worries me!"

Chu Lin furrowed his brows, a thought rose, and a dragon’s roar escaped his lips as he transformed into his Golden Dragon form. Only with his Golden Dragon Body could he muster a stronger defense. Since Sword Spirit described it as terrifying, he must withstand it with his utmost power.

His body was also covered with Earth and Stone Defense, and he clasped the Reincarnation Bracelet in his mouth. If the worst happens, he decided to use the bracelet’s last chance!

With everything ready, the final bolt of lightning struck down...
