Chapter 2295: Chapter 2292: Breakthrough!

"Lin Tian, what’s wrong with you..." Xiao Manxuan called out anxiously.

But as these sounds reached Lin Tian’s ears, they became somewhat blurry, broken and intermittent, as if coming from a very distant place.

All of Lin Tian’s will was used to suppress the transformation, but he found it was futile; the power of a breakthrough was unstoppable.

"I... I’m fine. You all go out first, give me a few minutes." Lin Tian clenched his teeth, his voice had become a bit low and deep.

"I’m afraid Xiao Tian is about to break through. Let’s go out first, don’t disturb him." Elder Yan’s gaze flashed as he led the few of them out. Although Xiao Manxuan and Miss were worried, they still followed him out.

When the main door finally shut, Lin Tian could no longer suppress it. A low growl burst from his throat, the flame mark at his brow burned violently, violet light shooting in all directions.

Zombie fangs grew out uncontrollably, his pitch?black pupils turned bright yellow in an instant. His zombie body was fully revealed, boundless Yin Sha Qi surged from him, almost condensing into substance, black miasma coiling around him.

Outside the attic, Xiao Manxuan, Miss and the others were anxiously waiting when, all of a sudden, Heavenly Star dimmed. The star?studded firmament suddenly spawned black clouds from nowhere, churning over the attic’s Sky, with faint flashes of lightning within.

"Why did it suddenly change weather?" Xiao Manxuan asked in puzzlement.

Elder Yan, however, looked toward the attic and murmured in a low voice, "Just what Cultivation Technique is this, such a powerful aura that it’s triggered a change in Heaven."

"Elder Yan, are you saying Lin Tian’s breakthrough aura has caused a change in the energy field?" Miss asked in amazement.

Elder Yan nodded and said, "Correct. Cultivation is defying Heaven itself. When a person becomes too strong, it will trigger Heaven’s reaction. It’s just that Xiao Tian’s aura is a bit strange..."

Miss didn’t catch the word "strange"; instead she focused on the first half. Strong enough to trigger Heaven’s reaction—what kind of realm was that? Advancing to Innate only causes Qi and blood to rise like wolf smoke, but this now seems like a thunder tribulation, so similar to the scene when the Shennong Ding emerged.

Rumble, rumble...

Muffled thunder rolled within the black clouds, lightning roamed through them, yet for some reason it just wouldn’t strike down.

Inside the attic, Lin Tian had fully transformed, violent energy continually crashing within his body. Roar! With a low roar, even violet flames sprayed from his nostrils. The bright yellow in his pupils gradually faded, finally completely replaced by green.

A Second-level Green-eyed Zombie—Lin Tian had finally fully advanced, becoming an existence of the same rank as Ancestor Xu!

At this moment, the Shennong Ding emitted a burst of green light. With a buzzing sound, it flew up, then quickly shrank and shot into Lin Tian’s brow, seeming to merge with the flame mark there.

Yet another big-shot’s Divine Artifact had taken up residence on Lin Tian’s body. But Lin Tian could clearly feel the difference between the Shennong Ding and the Ksitigarbha Order: the Ksitigarbha Order was only temporarily dwelling there, while the Shennong Ding had completely acknowledged him as its master!

A kind of insight rose from his heart. Many things that had puzzled him before gradually became clear—about power, about pill refining. All of his accumulation was, in this moment, completely rewarded.

"Master, you’ve finally advanced..." Sword Spirit shouted in delight.

"Hahaha..." Lin Tian’s heart surged, and he couldn’t help but laugh loudly. His laughter pierced out of the building, rolling and scattering. Miss and the others were once again stunned by Lin Tian’s robust laughter.

Lin Tian raised his head to gaze upward; his eyes seemed to pierce through the many floors to see the black clouds and thunder above. The black clouds seemed to fear this gaze, actually stopping their rolling. The thunder grew gradually quieter, then disappeared, and in the end the black clouds completely dispersed.

Reining in his laughter, Lin Tian stepped forward as usual, then reached out and touched his zombie fangs, unconsciously revealing a trace of a smile. As expected, the higher the rank of the zombie, the smaller the zombie fangs; no wonder Nu Ba’s zombie fangs were so delicate and pretty.

"Lin Tian..." Xiao Manxuan’s shout sounded from outside the door, carrying urgency.

"Master, if you go out looking like this, you’ll scare them." Sword Spirit reminded him.

Lin Tian of course knew that the secret of him being a zombie still had to be kept hidden for now; at least until Xiao Manxuan was completely cured. Before that, Lin Tian didn’t want any accidents.

He moved his thoughts, and the zombie fangs retracted, the green in his pupils vanished, the violet flames disappeared—everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Yet if one looked closely, there still seemed to be something different—very subtle changes.

In a lofty mountain, on its summit, stood a long?haired girl in green, her pretty face flawless, her eyes dreamlike. In those eyes was a hint of contemplation, a trace of confusion, and a touch of delight.

"Lin Tian, you were born to be a zombie. In less than a year, you’ve reached the Green Eyes Level, while others need hundreds or thousands of years."

The girl showed a faint smile, unconsciously extending her lilac little tongue to lick her moist red lips, as if savoring the taste of Lin Tian’s fresh blood.

"Qingyao, wherever you are, I’ve already reached the Green Eyes Level. One day, I’ll surpass you and truly stand before you." Lin Tian’s gaze flickered, his tone firm, the shadow of the green?clad, long?haired girl reflected in his eyes.

Lin Tian understood in his heart that Nu Ba could definitely sense his existence, yet she never appeared. Perhaps, he simply wasn’t strong enough yet.

"Lin Tian..." Miss’s voice sounded, interrupting Lin Tian’s thoughts.

Because they hadn’t heard any movement for a long time, they grew anxious and couldn’t help calling out.

Lin Tian drew back his thoughts, once again confirmed he had restored his human appearance, then walked over and opened the door. The two sisters had just raised their hands, ready to knock, their pretty faces filled with anxiety and worry.

Seeing the sisters’ anxious expressions, Lin Tian’s heart stirred slightly. Qingyao was so illusory and unreal, while Miss and Xiao Manxuan were truly standing before him.

Lin Tian couldn’t help softening his tone and smiling slightly. "I’m fine. With you two around, how could I bear to die?"

"I don’t allow you to say the word ’die’." Xiao Manxuan said very domineeringly. Miss also widened her eyes, clearly sharing her younger sister’s sentiment.

"Eh, where did the Shennong Ding go?" Yan Lingling poked her little head in and then noticed that the Shennong Ding in the study was gone.

Elder Yan also walked up, carefully scrutinizing Lin Tian, shaking his head and then nodding. "How strange, how strange. Just what realm do you belong to? This old man actually can’t see through you."

"Right, where is the Shennong Ding?" Elder Yan didn’t dwell on the question, perhaps unwilling to pry into others’ secrets, and instead asked about the Shennong Ding.

Lin Tian walked out to the open space outside the building and extended his hand. A ball of green energy condensed in his palm, and the Shennong Ding instantly appeared in his hand, rapidly enlarging.

This scene left the few beauties staring, dumbfounded.

Elder Yan was far more composed, smiling in great satisfaction. "As expected of the Shennong Ding—it’s already surpassed the category of mere treasure. The Zhang Family’s White Tiger Seal is probably only on par with it."

"Oh? Elder Yan also knows of the Zhang Family?" Lin Tian was a bit surprised. The White Tiger Seal Elder Yan spoke of was precisely Zhang Lingyu’s Magic Artifact, extremely powerful, and could also be stored within the body. It was just that the White Tiger Seal was too powerful, so much so that Zhang Lingyu was unable to fully control it.
