Chapter 1999: Commencement of the Final Battle
An Lin’s act of destroying the one billion Heavenly Human eggs had left a massive impact on the entire war.
Many living beings were absolutely ecstatic, but those who had pledged their allegiance to the Heavenly Human Tribe were distraught. Their morale had fallen to its lowest ever point and even their conviction had been shaken.
The handful of most powerful beings on the Tai Chu Continent were also paying close attention to this debacle.
Nuwa wore a faint smile on her face as she flicked through one news article after another. White Spirit Snake was cheering at the top of her lungs while Black Spirit Snake’s eyes were wide with incredulity.
At the Land of Eternal Light.
“Do all of you see this? This is your third heavenly disciple! He has already accomplished an earth-shattering feat by successfully foiling the enemy’s plans! It’s our turn now!”
Cyril announced to all of the Heaven Crushing Sect powerful beings gathered before him, “I hereby announce the commencement of the heaven crushing project!”
Within the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace, all of the powerful beings raised their hands high into the sky.
“Crush the heavens!”
“Crush the heavens!”
“Crush the heavens!”
Their chants pierced through the clouds and traveled directly into the heavens.
There were several hundred fanatical Heaven Crushing Sect members gathered, and even the weakest among them were Return to Void Stage mighty figures. The three heavenly disciples candidates, Battling Buddha, Yun Mengying, and Michael, were also present.
As was the fourth heavenly disciple, the Ancient Dragon Empress.
Virtually all of the most powerful beings in the Heaven Crushing Sect were present, and they were about to bear witness to an epic moment in history.
Cyril wore a crimson Daoist robe as he strode toward the vortex at the center of the palace. He wore an extremely solemn expression as he cast a black ball toward the vortex.
Chen Chen recited a mantra as he too cast his white ball into the vortex.
The two balls fell into the chaotic vortex at the same time before immediately disappearing.
Everything fell silent.
All of the powerful beings gulped nervously as they looked on with wide eyes.
Soon, a change began to take place.
Black veined patterns began to appear around the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace. The patterns connected with one another before spreading into the distance, creating a complex diagram.
These black veined patterns continued to spread into infinity and beyond.
They soon covered the entire Purple Star ruins, but they did not stop there. They were still spreading, and before long, they had encompassed the entire Kingdom of the Nine States, the Opposite Shore Realm, the East Sea, the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, the North Cang Mountain Realm, and even the White Nectar Sea. To the west, the veined patterns covered the entirety of the West Sea, and there was nowhere on the Tai Chu Continent that these black veined patterns hadn’t spread to.
Countless living beings were shocked.
They couldn’t even begin to imagine what these veined patterns were.
Would they bring destruction to the entire Tai Chu Continent?
The Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings were also in a state of panic. A Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General slammed an almighty palm toward the black veined patterns, pulverizing the earth within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
However, he was shocked to discover that the black veined patterns were entrenched deep into the ground. Even after creating a crater several hundred meters deep, the same veined patterns could still be seen.
“Wh… what the hell is this?” The Heavenly Human Tribe Great General’s eyes widened with shock and horror, and he immediately reported this to the Heavenly Gods.
The Heavenly Gods didn’t say anything, but their silence only made the atmosphere even more oppressive.
At this moment, the aura of a formation spread throughout the entire continent.
Indeed, this was a formation.
It was a formation of an unprecedented scale.
It was a formation that encompassed the entire Tai Chu Continent.
This was the Heaven Crushing Formation!
Its name was self-explanatory. This was the formation the Heaven Crushing Sect was going to use to crush the heavens!
The sunset painted the horizon a golden color. Beneath the golden horizon was the vast earth, upon which the black veined patterns were omnipresent.
The earth was connected with the heavens as yin and yang transitioned.
At a certain magical moment, the lines between reality and illusion seemed to have blurred. Time and space, as well as heaven and earth, also seemed to have blurred at that moment.
During that special moment of transition, the black spell formation on the ground seemed to spread all the way into the heavens.
Boom boom boom!
Black energy shot forth into the heavens in unison from the nine hundred and ninety-nine nodes on the formation.
At the same time, a pillar of white light over ten thousand meters in diameter erupted into the sky from the roof of the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace. Heaven crushing true intent that was condensed to the extreme threatened to pulverize the entire heavens.
The Heaven Crushing Sect members in the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace looked up at the countless black cracks that had appeared in the sky, and all of them were struck by a sense of indescribable excitement.
The heaven crushing project had officially begun!
Now, it was time for them to witness a miracle.
Cyril turned to all of the powerful beings with a smile on his face. “From here onward, we are going to face relentless attacks from the Heavenly Human Tribe as well as the Heavenly Gods. Are you all willing to battle with me, to exterminate the Heavenly Human Tribe, and to destroy this flawed Heavenly Dao?!”
“I am!”
“I would gladly lay down my life for this cause!”
All of the Heaven Crushing Sect members roared with surging battle intent.
The commotion the Heaven Crushing Sect had stirred up soon alerted all of the living beings on the entire Tai Chu Continent.
Even though the vast majority of them didn’t understand anything about spell formations, they could still sense the heaven crushing true intent emanating from the spell formation. This potent intent was apparent even to a three-year-old.
The entire Tai Chu Continent knew that the Heaven Crushing Sect was finally about to make its move!
One mighty figure after another turned their attention to what was once the most prosperous place on the Tai Chu Continent. This was the very same place that had now been reduced to a barren wasteland and served as the headquarters for the Heaven Crushing Sect.
“Is Cyril finally making his move? I really can’t set my heart at ease when he’s involved… On the contrary, I quite like Chen Chen.” A benevolent old man with an ethereal, transcendent aura stroked his long, white bear as he sighed.
“Master, I feel like An Lin is the most reliable among them,” a fatso with an almost spherical body interjected in a respectful voice. At the same time, he was cramming pills into his mouth and chewing loudly.
“An Lin is indeed more suitable, but he has to be willing. Besides, An Lin has many choices open to him. He doesn’t necessarily have to crush the heavens.” The old man cast a meaningful glance into the west.
“Oh…” The fatso nodded. “Chomp, chomp, chomp…”
The old man was looking into the distance with the air of a transcendent being, but the loud chomping sound was really getting on his nerves.
“Will you stop eating?!” the old man finally snapped.
The fatso finally faltered in his chewing. “What is it, Master?”
The old man pointed at the fatso with a trembling finger. “Look at the state of you! I feel ashamed when I take you anywhere! Everyone would try to suppress laughter and ask me how my disciple became like this. How am I supposed to answer them? You’ve swept my reputation to the ground!
“You don’t have to be handsome. I don’t even mind that you’re a fatso, but you have to at least be a human!
“Yi Xi… Please return to being a human!”
The fatso’s mouth gaped open as if he had been dealt a heavy blow.
This fatso was none other than Yi Xi, while the old man with him was the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue.
Yi Xi didn’t dare to refute his master’s words, but he was still stubbornly cramming pills into his mouth. To this, the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue could only shake his head in resignation.
“So be it… Let’s go to see Nuwa. This world is about to undergo a massive change!”
The old man waved his sleeve and the two of them disappeared.
