Shang Lin subconsciously steadied himself, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Chengyun and the lightning bolt that almost enveloped his original form. His heart, which was already hanging in suspense, was now in his throat.
Although Shang Lin had never witnessed the tribulation of a dragon transforming into a jiao, the procedures of tribulations were similar, except for their size and duration. This lightning strike was clearly different from the previous ones, and it should be the last one.
Of course, it is also the most ferocious and dangerous path. If Bai Chengyun can survive it, he can transform from a dragon into a jiao (a type of dragon). If he cannot, he can only dissipate into the world and turn into ashes scattered by the wind.
It's no wonder that Shang Lin's heart was even more anxious, and She Jinxing wasn't much better off. After all, he was also a dragon now, so he could empathize to some extent, and at the same time, his desire not to transform into a dragon was even stronger!
This breathtaking moment, though seemingly long, was actually very short—just a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, and it was over. Yet the light that had fallen upon Bai Chengyun didn't fade at all; on the contrary, it seemed…
He was a purple lightning bolt that illuminated a stretch of sea in the dark night, so much so that Shang Lin and She Jinxing could not see clearly what had happened to Bai Chengyun in this "purple lightning".
Shang Lin's heart was in his throat, and his expression changed. For the first time, he revealed his beast eyes, trying to see Bai Chengyun's situation clearly.
As for letting She Jinxing get any closer to him, Shang Lin didn't dare, because Bai Chengyun's current situation was unclear, and he was worried that if they got too close, it would affect She Jinxing.
She Jinxing, who couldn't see Bai Chengyun's condition clearly, moved at this moment and said to Shang Lin, "I'll go closer to see what's going on. If anything happens later, Sect Master must return to the tower immediately. I'll protect you."
"Stop," Shang Lin said hurriedly. "There's no need to go any further. I can see clearly what Bai Chengyun's situation is like now."
She Jinxing subconsciously wanted to look at Shang Lin, but then immediately stopped. The sect leader was right above him; if he moved, wouldn't he knock the sect leader into the sea?
However, the fact that the sect leader could see Bai Chengyun's condition must mean he used his beast eyes, right? After all, compared to human eyes, demon beast eyes can see things more clearly in the dark.
At this moment, Bai Chengyun felt as if he, who was like mud, was being reshaped. First his horns, then his head, then his body, claws, and tail. It was still painful, so painful that he wanted to die.
However, after the pain subsided, a powerful and vigorous spiritual energy flowed from his demon core to every part of his body, giving him a new life. Bai Chengyun couldn't help but let out a long roar to the sky, and his entire body broke free from the "purple lightning," and a white dragon soared straight into the clouds.
Shang Lin's pupils shrank, and his eerie beastly eyes became even more vivid. He hurriedly said to She Jinxing, "Let's go quickly. Bai Chengyun has successfully transformed into a dragon. Let's go and receive the gift from Heaven."
She Jinxing rushed out subconsciously, and specks of white-gold light scattered down where Bai Chengyun had transformed into a dragon. Shang Lin summoned everyone in the Dragon Spirit Tower, including Lü Yao.
Above the dark clouds, the body of the white dragon appeared and disappeared intermittently. Then the wind stopped, the rain ceased, the dark clouds dispersed, the lightning receded, and Bai Chengyun quickly fell back to the sea, transforming into human form and walking in front of Shang Lin.
Having snatched a wave of gifts from Heaven, Shang Lin looked intently at Bai Chengyun. Although he didn't look any different from when they first met, but...
