Chapter 1637: In Order to Celebrate

Xu Xiaolan’s jade dress was stained by blood, as was her exquisitely beautiful face, making her appear extremely disheveled.

However, a vibrant smile appeared on her face upon seeing An Lin smashed Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong into the ground and forcing it to withdraw its Hundred Mythological Beast mystic technique.

“I knew An Lin wouldn’t disappoint me! Nice one!”

She swallowed an immortal pill before slowly approaching An Lin.

“Mr. An Lin sure is reliable!” Dongfang Zhuangshi panted heavily with an expression of approval on his face.

An Lin’s performance had far exceeded his expectations.

Never would he have thought that An Lin would be able to break through a defensive line of several dozen mythological beasts to pummel Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong.

If it weren’t for An Lin’s performance, he would at least be half-dead if not completely dead already.

Oh, wait, no, he was already half-dead…

Dongfang Zhuangshi had suffered the most damage among the three of them. All four of his legs on his massive Kirin body had been severed, and he only had half of his body left. The remaining half of his body was like a piece of holey Swiss cheese, and blood was gushing relentlessly from all over the place.

Xu Xiaolan didn’t even know how he was still alive.

Dongfang Zhuangshi’s power of the divine dao enshrouded his entire body, and his bones, organs, and tissues began to regenerate at a rate discernible to the naked eye…

“Your regenerative ability is comparable to Blood Tribe Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures.” Xu Xiaolan was quite amazed.

“Hehehe…” Dongfang Zhuangshi raised his proud head upon hearing this. “My title of Demonic Blood Kirin is not just for show. My understanding and the dao of life is unmatched in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool!”

A teasing smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. “I’m not too sure about that. Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong can even temporarily resurrect deceased mythological beasts. That suggests that its understanding of the dao of life seems to be superior to yours…”

“This…” Dongfang Zhuangshi blushed slightly, but he refused to concede. “That’s because of the difference in our dao… Besides, he relied on a divine pill and perhaps even the power of the Chaotic Life Core to unleash that mystic technique. If it didn’t have those things, I wouldn’t be afraid of it in a one-on-one battle! You have to realize that I wasn’t even fighting with all my power…”

Xu Xiaolan looked at Dongfang Zhuangshi’s body, which was in an extremely critical condition, and her lips twitched.

He wasn’t fighting with all his power? That was hard to believe when he was already on the brink of death.

However, Xu Xiaolan didn’t want to keep dealing blows upon the middle-aged man’s fragile heart. Instead, she turned toward the projection of Mount Buzhou in the distance. Their top priority now was to verify whether Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong had died or not.

The Mount Buzhou projection slowly dimmed.

A massive crater began to appear in the ground.

Xu Xiaolan and Dongfang Zhuangshi both approached the crater to see how Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong was.

An Lin panted heavily, and he too looked into the crater.

That Mount Buzhou Iron Fist he had just unleashed had almost used up the last of his energy. His divine halo crumbled into specks of light, and if it weren’t for the fact that he was trying to keep up appearances, his eyes would’ve rolled back into his head, and he would’ve fainted already.

Xu Xiaolan was very excited. “Is Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong dead?”

Dongfang Zhuangshi was also very excited. “Has it been flattened?”

The two of them appeared in the air over the crater, and both of them faltered slightly.

“It’s still not dead?” Xu Xiaolan’s brows furrowed.

“It’s still not flat?” Dongfang Zhuangshi’s brows furrowed even further.

At the center of the crater, Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s sixty-five flawless jade beads had formed an umbrella-shaped formation around it, keeping An Lin’s devastating attack at bay.

Of course, all sixty-five of those beads had now been destroyed.

Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s entire body was also cracked and lined with fractures. Its once flawless, jade-like body looked like it was a pane of glass on the verge of shattering.

Even so, it was still standing!

Even the weight of Mount Buzhou was unable to force it off its feet!

A sense of respect welled up in An Lin’s heart upon seeing this, and he clasped his hands behind his back. “You’re very impressive. To think that you can take one of my punches and still be standing.”

Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong was enraged upon seeing this. How condescending did he have to be? Would it kill him to not flex?!

“However, this is the end of the road for you,” An Lin continued.

“Hehe… That might not be the case.” Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong forced a smile onto its face as it looked up at the white-robed man in the sky with a ferocious expression. “You’re at your limit as well, right? Otherwise, you would’ve killed me with your powers of the Heavenly Gods, but you haven’t done that!

“You’re not some idiot that will give the enemy a chance to counterattack through excessive flexing. The only explanation is that you’re no longer able to use your powers of the Heavenly Gods anymore! In fact, you might not even have the power to unleash anymore powerful spell techniques!”

Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong looked at An Lin with an expression that looked as if it had seen through him.

It wanted to see the panic and anxiety on An Lin’s face after having his facade blown, but to its surprise, An Lin remained completely calm and collected.

“I think you might be misunderstanding something,” An Lin said with a calm smile on his face.

“What do you mean?” Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s brows furrowed slightly.

An Lin suddenly burst into laughter. “I’m not leaving you alive because I no longer have the power to kill you…”

He pulled out two immortal pills from his storage ring before swallowing them with a smile. “I just want to celebrate by making a breakthrough before I kill you…”

“Wh… what? A breakthrough?” Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong was astonished.

Dongfang Zhuangshi wore the same expression as Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong as both of them stared at An Lin.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaolan drew a sharp intake of breath. “An Lin, can’t you hold it off for a while?”

She knew what was happening. Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong had most likely already been beaten into submission by An Lin, and An Lin was about to progress to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage.

“I can’t. This is not something I can decide…” A wry smile appeared on An Lin’s face before he looked at Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong again with the might and prestige of a Heavenly God. “You should be honored to be able to witness my breakthrough to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage before you die…”

Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s face convulsed.

Honor? I don’t give a sh*t if you can progress to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage or not!

Wait, that wasn’t the point…

Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong came to its senses and became even more astonished. “You… you can make a breakthrough during your battle with me?”

“It’s all thanks to you being beaten into submission by me!” An Lin’s eyes lit up, and an expression of genuine gratitude appeared on his face.

“No! I am the most powerful being in the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool! How could I have been beaten into submission by you? Stop spouting nonsense!!!” Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s aura exploded forth, and the space within a radius of several hundred kilometers tremored violently.

Xu Xiaolan and Dongfang Zhuangshi’s expressions both shifted upon seeing this. They didn’t think that Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong would be able to muster up such a terrifying power even after being severely wounded like this.

“It doesn’t matter what you say, I’ve received official confirmation that you’ve been beaten into submission.” An Lin chuckled.
