Chapter 96: Moths to a Flame, Embracing Death!

The golden lightning was extremely resplendent, and the Heaven's Calamity Light, like a towering golden Divine Sword, pierced through the heavens and earth, striking towards Lin Tian!

Even before it fully descended, Lin Tian felt an irresistible and unavoidable terrifying Divine Might. Even a Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert was merely an ant before this Heaven's Calamity Light. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's truly terrifyingly strong!"

Yet, even so, Lin Tian never thought of giving up.

Perhaps, he could withstand it!

Lin Tian's eyes narrowed. Gripping the Profound Void Sword tightly, he faced the golden lightning descending from the sky. His magical power surged like a spring, frantically squeezing his Nascent Soul. Regardless of whether his body could bear it, he had only one thought and one goal in his heart.

Withstand this move!

The Spatial Dao Principles rumbled. Lin Tian swung his Natal Spirit Sword with all his might. In the face of death, his spirit reached the Peak of his life. His Sword Intent was as blazing as a furnace fire, soaring into the sky, as if to pierce through this heaven and earth, stirring up the clouds in all directions!

Crack! Crack! Crack…

Silver divine light bloomed, dazzling and resplendent, as if a silver great sun condensed on his sword. Where the sharp edge passed, space shattered inch by inch, and countless spatial fragments were swept up by the sword's edge, adding an ultimate sharpness!

Tens of thousands of illusory and real Sword Qi gathered behind him, forming a pair of Sword Qi Divine Wings. As they vibrated, space itself trembled.

With the Sword Wings attached, Lin Tian's black hair billowed. He did not look back, nor did he cower. He raised his sword and charged into the sky, directly towards the Heaven's Calamity Light, towards that magnificent figure, unleashing the most stunning sword strike of his life.

That silver sword shadow was like a moth to a flame, embracing death!

In the eyes of the Lingxiao Sword Sect Disciples, at this moment, Lin Tian was truly worthy of being called a Lingxiao Sword Sect Prodigy, unyielding even in death!

The silver sword light was like a heavenly river, sweeping across ten thousand miles of clear sky!

The golden lightning was like a Divine Sword, destroying all beings in heaven and earth!

The lightning was grand, and the Sword Qi was vast. When the two ultimate forces collided, heaven and earth lost their form at this moment. Everything was covered in gold and silver, all things lost their color, and all beings lost their sight.

Great sound is silence, great form is shapeless!

But even a sword strike that brought together all the power of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection was too weak before Gu Shengge.

Crack…

A crisp breaking sound rang out. The Profound Void Sword was severed, and the silver sword shadow was also swallowed by the golden lightning.

"In the end… I still couldn't withstand it…"

Lin Tian's body was ground down and dissipated inch by inch under the Heaven's Calamity Light. He felt the power and grandeur of this force. There was no resentment in his heart, only regret and emotion.

This Lingxiao Sword Sect Prodigy looked back with difficulty in the lightning. His last glance reflected the figures of his Revered Master and Senior Sister on the ground. Various past events flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

It was Zhenyue Sword Master who took him as a Disciple and taught him. It was Senior Sister's care from childhood, her meticulous attention…

'Sorry… Revered Master, I've caused you trouble…'

'Senior Sister, I truly, truly like you…'

Although he was deliberately placed by someone next to Zhenyue Sword Master, always calling Zhenyue Sword Master 'old fellow' and 'old thing,' wasn't that also a form of guilt?

Only at this last moment, unburdened, did he dare to sincerely and worthily call Chu Yue 'Revered Master.'

It was just that everything was too late.

If there was a next life, he would cleanly and purely apprentice himself to Zhenyue Sword Master.

If there was a next life, he still wanted to be with his Senior Sister.

Lin Tian slowly closed his eyes. A clear tear fell, and along with his head, it was completely ground away by the lightning.

Perceiving Lin Tian's demise, Zhenyue Sword Master's heart ached. His mountain-like figure collapsed, and tears of grief flowed from his tiger eyes.

He actually knew everything. He knew that Lin Tian was an informant arranged by Lieyan Sword Master next to him, but so what? Once a teacher, always a father.

Since Lin Tian kowtowed and became his Disciple, he would protect him until death.

After all, this was his Disciple! His apprentice!

Pei Yuhan was also in tears, crying out in sorrow, "Junior Brother, why were you so foolish!"

The surrounding Lingxiao Sword Sect Disciples also fell silent. They felt emotion, regret, and sadness, but no one resented Gu Shengge.

A swordsman is open and upright. Lin Tian made a mistake and received his punishment; no one else was to blame.

The tribulation clouds gradually dispersed, and millions of rays of sunlight shone down, yet they could not dispel the sorrow.

Gu Shengge descended from the sky. He looked at the sorrowful and tearful Zhenyue Sword Master, sighed softly, and slowly opened his right hand. It was a faint soul light, which instantly attracted their attention.

"This is!"

Zhenyue Sword Master was first stunned, then his face showed surprise. He couldn't have sensed wrong!

Pei Yuhan also stared intently at the faint soul light, stumbling towards Gu Shengge.

"This is Lin Tian's soul light."

Gu Shengge explained calmly. He was not an unreasonable person, nor was he a Demonic Path evil cultivator. Lin Tian had merely spoken disrespectfully to him; he wouldn't go so far as to completely destroy the other party's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, preventing their Reincarnation forever.

Moreover, considering Lin Tian's courage to take responsibility in the end, and the friendship between the two Sword Sects, it was understandable to leave a trace of his soul light.

Of course, even if Zhenyue Sword Master had this soul light, he could not revive Lin Tian. At most, he could leave a mark on the soul light, and when Lin Tian underwent Reincarnation, he could guide him back to the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

However, this timing was uncertain.

Perhaps Lin Tian's Reincarnation would appear a few years later, or perhaps it might not appear even after the Lingxiao Sword Sect's demise.

Everything could only be left to fate.

"Gu, Kid, thank you for showing mercy."

Zhenyue Sword Master took the soul light and solemnly thanked Gu Shengge. He knew that with the power of that last move, it was enough to completely obliterate Lin Tian, leaving nothing behind.

But Gu Shengge had left his soul light, indicating that he had already shown mercy.

Pei Yuhan also bowed in gratitude. Gu Shengge accepted it calmly.

"Gu Daozi, this time it was our Lingxiao Sword Sect's disrespect. If Gu Daozi has any dissatisfaction, please tell this Old Ancestor as soon as possible, and this Old Ancestor will satisfy everything."

An aged figure appeared before Gu Shengge and Zhenyue Sword Master. It was none other than the Sword Sect Old Ancestor, who had been watching the show for a long time.

With a Senior present, Gu Shengge cupped his hands in a salute: "Junior greets Senior Jueyun."

Old Ancestor Jueyun nodded, 'So polite, is he really that guy Chenxiao's grand-Disciple?'

"If you don't mind, how about a walk with this Old Ancestor?" Old Ancestor Jueyun invited with a smile.

Gu Shengge nodded. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Zhenyue Sword Master.

"Chu Shu, that Reverse God Pill was given to Lin Tian by Lieyan Sword Master. You'd best investigate it carefully."

"Understood."

Chu Yue nodded. He had actually guessed the source of the Reverse God Pill, but he didn't understand why Lieyan Sword Master would have a Reverse God Pill.

Could it be that he had already betrayed the Lingxiao Sword Sect and joined the Tianmo Domain?

Lieyan Sword Master, hiding in the dark, heard this and thought, 'Not good.'

He had originally intended for Lin Tian to deal with Qiankun Daozi. Given Zhenyue Sword Master's personality, he would definitely protect Lin Tian, and then a conflict would erupt between the two sides, ideally leading to a major fight.

No matter which side suffered, it would only benefit him and cause no harm.

But Lieyan Sword Master never expected that this Qiankun Daozi would be so reasonable, even leaving a trace of Lin Tian's soul light, resolving the conflict between the two Sword Sects.

Now he gained nothing and even aroused their suspicion.

No! He couldn't stay in the Lingxiao Sword Sect. He had to withdraw quickly!
