The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2465: Chapter 2465: Coincidence or Destiny?

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

Thunderbolt after thunderbolt fell from the sky as Carson Flores floated in mid-air, his entire body engulfed in roaring fire like the Fire God incarnate, bravely withstanding each thunderbolt.

The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was far greater than that faced by ordinary Breakthrough Saints, leaving onlookers nervous and afraid that Carson might be reduced to ashes beneath a single thunderbolt, yet Carson appeared quite at ease.

The thunder shattered the flames, tearing Carson’s body apart, blood staining the air, yet he remained composed, his gaze steadfast and filled with confidence.

”Boom!”

The final thunderbolt fell like world-ending lightning, crashing down as the Eight-Armed Arhat, like a deity, stood firmly on the ground, head against the heavenly dome, wielding a magic artifact, defying the heavens in battle.

Even though the Eight-Armed Arhat blocked most of the thunder, Carson was still left bloodied, his flesh charred to ash and then shattered into dust.

Many of Carson’s bones were exposed, yet each indestructible bone formed a final fortress, stubbornly resisting the erosion by the thunder.

As the heavenly thunder dissipated, Spiritual Energy poured into Carson’s Sea of Consciousness like a heavenly river, crazily flooding in, and the blood and flesh shattered by the thunder began visibly regrowing.

This scene delivered an enormous shock to all the disciples of the Dragon Mountain Sect!

His abilities were endlessly varied, each one delivering great shock and awe, truly befitting a True Disciple chosen by Floating Cloud!

This terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, this Heaven-defying Eight-Armed Arhat, this fearless defiance of all, truly made one unable not to admire.

Floating Cloud regarded Carson, successful in crossing the tribulation, with a deeply satisfied smile.

Amazing disciple!

Clearly lacking any particularly outstanding talent, yet his advancement was ceaselessly swift!

This time he went to hunt down the Ghost True Sage and ended up getting trapped in the Roulette Secret Realm; what seemed like certain doom turned into fortune, not only returning safely but also acquiring a large number of Phoenix Fire Crystals.

Not to mention acquiring the Phoenix Fire Crystals, Carson, mastering the Five Elements Path, absorbed Fire Essence with the Sun True Scripture, crazily enhancing his strength, breaking through another realm in the blink of an eye.

How to explain this?

Coincidence?

Or destiny?

Profound River, being the most outstanding young talent of the Dragon Mountain Sect, also obtained many Phoenix Fire Crystals, yet was completely unable to use them due to a lack of mastery in the Way of Fire.

Remembering the first time he met Carson, it had only been a little time, and Carson had grown from Early Celestial Immortal to the Third Realm of Great Land; this speed was monstrously fast!

Such rapid growth, perhaps it wouldn’t take long for him to catch up to Profound River, replace him, and become the new leading figure of the Dragon Mountain Sect.

Floating Cloud couldn’t help but recall his own divination, increasingly believing that the sign might become reality.

By taking him as a disciple, might he defy fate and save the Dragon Mountain Sect?

Profound River murmured, ”Uncle Carson’s realm improvement is like flying; it may not be many years before he surpasses me.”

Flowing Cloud gave a wry smile, saying, ”Even if he surpasses you, he’s still of your uncle generation.”

Profound River froze for a moment, then shook his head speechlessly.

Flowing Cloud’s words were true; although Carson was much younger than himself, having apprenticed under Floating Cloud, he was of the same generation as the Sect Leader, a True Disciple uncle; they wouldn’t compare him to themselves.

Niall Sinclair stood beside them, eyes shining.

Carson wasn’t born with an Innate Taoist Body, yet how did he manifest abnormal phenomena?

Judging by his exhibited terrifying combat power, he dared to compete in the Fourth Realm and Fifth Realm.

This is just too exaggerated!

Under everyone’s gaze, Carson’s body restored its original form, radiant with golden light, his presence extraordinary.

Carson descended step by step from the sky, his imposing manner swiftly dismantling, once he reached Floating Cloud and the others, he had returned to normalcy, no longer exuding the previous ferocity and dominance, as if reverting back to simplicity.

Floating Cloud nodded silently; after breaking through, due to the surge in strength, cultivators usually need some time to adapt before they can effortlessly control it, to return to nature; yet Carson, having just broken through so recently, was already able to control it so naturally—it’s incredible!

Flowing Cloud commended, ”Enlightenment and breakthrough within three months—it’s notable! Continue striving forward, aim to achieve breakthrough to Great Land Prime Immortal soon!”

Carson smiled, ”It was merely good fortune; I dare not hope for more.”

Carson had retreated to Rising Dragon Island for three months for enlightenment on understanding, adjusting his state, and then made a breakthrough.

Only Floating Cloud knew about the Void Lotus Herb’s matter; such a miraculous item that aids in breakthrough, the fewer who know, the better, otherwise, it could easily lead to trouble.

Upon returning home, Floating Cloud asked, ”What’s your plan now?”

Carson smiled, ”There are many Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones left; I plan to return home, close myself off for training, and after using up all those Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, I’ll decide what’s next.”

Floating Cloud nodded, ”Good. With the Void Lotus Herb and Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, focused cultivation should speed up your progress; are you estimating reaching breakthrough to Supreme Immortal?”
