Chapter 1989: Return My Underling
Demon Lord Ling Gu flew through the air and was very excited at the sight of the white-robed figure up ahead. He finally had a chance to fight with An Lin. This was like a dream-come-true!
True Element Martial Lord also harbored the same emotions as Demon Lord Ling Gu. He was a worshipper of An Lin and had planned to challenge An Lin to a sparring match. However, he gave up on these ambitions after hearing news that An Lin could now fight on par with the Heavenly Earth God.
He was afraid that An Lin would accidentally kill him if they were to have a sparring match.
Lan Xingyang was also very excited, but his excitement was a little different in nature.
The fact that An Lin was taking such a big risk to save Lan Xiaoni surely suggested that their relationship went beyond typical friendship. Otherwise, why would he still be so intent on rescuing her despite being aware of the multiple Heavenly Gods and even a paramount Heavenly God stationed at the Western Heavenly Gate? So just how far had An Lin and Lan Xiaoni taken their relationship?
Lan Xingyang felt like no one in this world was worthy of his outstanding daughter.
With the exception of An Lin.
As such, he was already beginning to envision An Lin as his son-in-law.
They were all traveling very quickly, and they soon reached a place where heaven and earth were flipped.
Originally, the ocean lay beneath their feet, but that had now become the clear, mirror-like sky. They could even see clouds hovering down below, while the sky had transformed into a vast, turbulent ocean.
“This is the end of the West Sea, the Sky Realm…” Lan Xingyang mused.
“This is the Sky Realm?” An Lin surveyed his surroundings with curiosity.
This was the first time he had come here. Even though this world was flipped, he didn’t feel like it went against the laws of nature. Instead, it was imbued with the paramount laws of heaven and earth and created some sort of balance with the Tai Chu Continent.
At the end of the Sky Realm was a towering Heavenly Gate.
In front of the Heavenly Gate were countless Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings stationed upon a massive, pure white, crystalline ship. This ship was akin to a moving fortress and looked a little like the legendary Noah’s Ark.
An Lin unleashed his divine sense to discover that there were over sixty million Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings on that ark. There were many more Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings here than those that had been deployed during the prior battle…
“Enemy invasion!”
“Prepare to engage the enemy!”
“Crap, it’s An Lin!”
Alarms rang out on the massive ark in the distance while all of the Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings set up battle formations. Several million Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings flew out from within the ark and unleashed holy light to form a gargantuan combination formation.
“I’m here for Lan Xiaoni. You better return her to me in perfect condition, or I’ll stomp your Western Heavenly Gate to the ground!” An Lin rocked heaven and earth with his thunderous rage.
The Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings were greatly intimidated by his threat.
However, none of them were going to back down.
“Lan Xiaoni belongs to the Heavenly Sea God! You’re dreaming if you think you can rescue her!”
“You’ll never find out where she is, and you’ll never be able to save her!”
“We won’t tell you where she is even if you kill us!”
“We don’t know anyway…”
The Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings yelled up at An Lin, looking as if they were ready to give up their lives.
Lan Xingyang pulled out a bloodline detection jade pendant, and his brows furrowed. “I can’t sense Lan Xiaoni’s location. An unimaginable power has cut off my connection to her…”
The Heavenly Human Tribe Great Generals chortled with glee upon hearing this.
“Hahaha… The Heavenly Sea God is holding Lan Xiaoni captive, so no one will be able to find her!”
“You can still cling onto your pathetic lives if you run away now! Otherwise, when the Heavenly Sea God returns, none of you will be able to get away!”
“Lan Xiaoni’s death is sealed!”
An Lin chuckled coldly upon hearing this. “Do you really think I won’t be able to detect Underling Lan’s location? All of the Heavenly Gods and even the paramount Heavenly God are nowhere to be seen. They must be holding an evil ritual somewhere, right? Seeing as I’m already here at the Western Heavenly Gate, I’ll definitely be able to find them…”
His eyes suddenly encompassed heaven and earth as invisible ripples proliferated through the air.
Divine Simulation Technique!
Others would perhaps be powerless in this situation, but An Lin possessed a godlike simulation technique!
All of the traces and leads available between heaven and earth flowed into his mind.
Every single detail, no matter how minuscule, could be used to dig up the truth.
“Underling Lan…”
An Lin suddenly turned toward the northeastern direction as his eyes returned to normal. “Is in that direction!”
An Lin and the three accompanying Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures flew toward the northeastern direction and completely ignored the Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings.
The Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings looked at one another atop their massive ark.
“Could it be… that An Lin really has discovered where Lan Xiaoni is being hidden?”
What a massive slap to the face!
“Should we chase him?”
“And do what? Offer up our heads on a silver platter?”
“We can perhaps still fight An Lin with the West Sea Heavenly Ark, but our top priority now is to guard the Western Heavenly Gate. Besides, An Lin is no match for the Heavenly Sea God anyway, so we have nothing to fear.”
A powerful Heavenly Human Tribe Great General dissuaded everyone from giving chase, so they could only obey his command and continue to guard the Western Heavenly Gate. Furthermore, what the Great General had said made sense. The Heavenly Sea God was invincible, so what did they have to fear?
Meanwhile, in the eastern region of the Tai Chu Continent.
After the first resounding victory to the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army, three more earth-shattering battles ensued on the eastern front. These battles were taking place at a rate of virtually one battle per day, and the entire eastern region had been reduced to a land of blood and slaughter.
However, what was worthy of a celebration was that the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army emerged victorious from all of these battles.
The number of powerful beings within the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army fell from over ninety million to over eighty million, then from over eighty million to over seventy million, then from over seventy million to over sixty million.
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army also followed this trend with eighty million falling to sixty million, then sixty million falling to forty million, then forty million falling to ten million…
As their numbers decreased, the rate at which they were suffering casualties was also spiking dramatically.
The members of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army were very excited to see this, but they were also a little baffled.
Had the Heavenly Human Tribe gone insane? If they continued to battle in this manner, they would be completely annihilated by tomorrow!
At the Eastern Heavenly Gate.
Within a sea of light, a woman constructed entirely from light cupped a clump of soil in her hands with a smile on her face. “Our plan is progressing very smoothly. We’ve killed forty million enemy troops, and tomorrow, the final ten million Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings will launch a kamikaze attack. That should bring the enemy forces down by a further ten million, which reduces the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army to only half of their original number.”
The Heavenly Earth God’s voice sounded in reply, “Hehehe… The one billion Heavenly Human Tribe eggs will hatch in the West Sea in less than a month. Who is going to be able to stop them? I’m really looking forward to seeing that day. It would be very satisfying to see the human race in despair…”
The woman nodded in response. “I don’t care about their despair or suffering. I’m only looking forward to the day the entire human race is exterminated.”
