Chapter 101: To wear the crown, one must bear its weight
The relentless thunderbolts that rained down pushed Timothy's body to its limits, but at the crucial moment, they triggered his Enlightenment Body—a terrifyingly perceptive state.
He grasped the Path of Ten Thousand Thunders!
"Boom!"
The myriad thunders, a legacy of the Holy Emperor Thunderflame, merged with the mysterious aura emanating from the Enlightenment Body, releasing a massive shockwave that spread far and wide.
This shockwave was incredibly powerful, carrying an overwhelming force that, in an instant, spread across thousands of miles.
"This is... the aura of the Enlightenment Body!"
All the major sects, powers, and dynasties within thousands of miles of the Sky Sanctuary were utterly astonished.
Every cultivator looked up at the gathering storm clouds and the Sky Sanctuary, from which this formidable aura emanated.
Just by virtue of the Enlightenment Body, Nolan, once considered a waste, had suddenly been hailed as the foremost prodigy of the world.
And now, not long after the news of Nolan's death, a second Enlightenment Body had emerged!
What's more, the mysterious aura this new one radiated was even more profound than Nolan's.
It seemed likely that this individual from Sky Sanctuary, blessed with the Enlightenment Body, possessed insight and talent far surpassing Nolan, reaching unimaginable levels!
"Who could it be? Another Enlightenment Body has appeared in the world!"
"Who would have thought that someone from Sky Sanctuary could also possess an Enlightenment Body? In less than a century, Sky Sanctuary's strength will surely grow even more formidable!"
Shadowgate Sect.
Originally a top-tier Demonic Sect, the demonic cultivators who once dared to challenge Sky Sanctuary now looked towards it with fear and trepidation.
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
"What can we do?" The voice of the Sect Master of Shadowgate trembled slightly.
"With the birth of an Enlightenment Body, personally nurtured by Goddess Sylvia, it won't take a century for Sky Sanctuary to gain another Emperor-level powerhouse.
Now, the only way to save our lives is to submit..."
Radiant Monastery.
The disciples had long since put aside their teachings of eschewing fame and fortune.
Abbot Fenvin of Radiant Monastery, seeing the spreading mysterious shockwave, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Sky Sanctuary has birthed an Enlightenment Body with even more terrifying potential and insight. If Goddess Sylvia personally teaches them, their future will be boundless!
All inner disciples, follow me to offer our congratulations. I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon,I want to lead you in sincere congratulations!"
"Why, why has another Enlightenment Body suddenly appeared in Sky Sanctuary!"
The news spread everywhere instantly.
There was fear, envy, and resentment.
All the major powers were shocked, but they made their decisions at the same time.
Now was the best time to show loyalty to Goddess Sylvia.
More importantly, they wanted to see for themselves who this person with the Enlightenment Body was.
Forces from all directions hurried towards Sky Sanctuary.
Before long, the skies above Sky Sanctuary were crowded with cultivators.
Yet, as they looked at the scene at Sky Sanctuary, everyone was stunned.
Countless bolts of lightning thundered down from the Thunder Realm Ring's mini-world, each bolt containing a force that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
And there, seated cross-legged on the ground, was Timothy, his eyes slightly closed, fearless.
As the sky lit up with endless lightning, his whole body bathed in the relentless thunder, not only was he unharmed, but the mysterious aura around him drifted even more intensely.
All the thunderbolts moved in harmony!
A pale purple lightning almost completely enveloped Timothy, and a continuous, overwhelming oppressive force swept around like towering waves, even causing some cultivators from Ocean's Gate to feel a chill in their hearts, involuntarily giving rise to a sense of fear.
Is this really the Enlightenment Body?
Or perhaps, before this, no one had ever truly unleashed the full potential of the Enlightenment Body!
Compared to this, the paths that Nolan had once comprehended, which had astonished everyone, now seemed like mere jokes.
"Who would have thought that Timothy would be the one to realize the Enlightenment Body!"
Timothy's reputation was already well-known among the various powers, but today's spectacle had etched his name deeply in their minds.
"Even before awakening the Enlightenment Body, Timothy's strength and talent were terrifying. Now with the Enlightenment Body, isn't he..."
"Having slain the Holy Emperor Thunderflame, and now with an Enlightenment Body, Timothy is destined to bring prosperity to Sky Sanctuary!"
"I can hardly imagine how terrifying Timothy's cultivation will become from here on out.
It's likely that, throughout history, even those Holy Emperors who have stepped into the Celestial Realm could scarcely compare to him.
It's a pity that the Goddess has no interest in matters of men and women, otherwise, I even think..."
"Don't talk nonsense, if the Goddess hears you, do you still want to keep your life?"
Amidst the murmurs of astonishment, though they dared not speak openly, many harbored a wild thought.
Before this, across the world, no one seemed worthy of the Goddess.
But given a few hundred years for Timothy...
However, it's likely that Goddess Sylvia's state of mind is as unshakeable as a rock, and the matters of men and women can only remain a beautiful tale in their imaginations, never to be realized.
"Supreme Goddess, the surrounding powers have all come to pay homage, and more cultivators are on their way. If this continues, the news of Timothy possessing the Enlightenment Body will soon spread throughout the world," Elder Turner hurriedly approached Sylvia and whispered.
"No matter, let them come," Sylvia's eyes were cool as she looked towards the sky.
Elder Turner was puzzled, "You mean..."
Sylvia smiled slightly, "Since it will eventually be known to the world, why not let the world know Timothy's name from now on?"
"I understand," Oscar immediately nodded in response, his heart surging.
To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
The Goddess choosing not to hide the fact of Timothy's Enlightenment Body was akin to risking him being coveted by the whole world.
This clearly showed the Goddess's trust in Timothy.
Perhaps, in a few hundred years, Sky Sanctuary will have another Holy Emperor!
And this Holy Emperor's title was destined to be Timothy's!
Meanwhile, as if gathering all its power, the final bolt of lightning thundered down in the Thunder Realm Ring's mini-world.
The myriad thunderbolts merged into one, the light transformed into the purest white.
But within this pristine lightning, there seemed to be an endless, terrifying oppressive force.
"Boom!"
An unparalleled loud sound echoed above Sky Sanctuary.
In an instant, fierce winds blew and dust scattered.
Around Timothy, the ground was blasted into a huge crater.
All eyes were cast in utter astonishment.
Yet within the fading light of the lightning, Timothy slowly opened his eyes.
In those eyes, as if filled with lightning, was a fearsome majesty!
