Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The seventy million Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers didn’t question or reject the two Heavenly Gods’ commands. They immediately started to retreat. Meanwhile, the remaining thirty million soldiers of the Kingdom of the Nine States who were located near Chen Xi City furiously pursued the retreating Heavenly Humans.
They knew that this was the perfect opportunity to counterattack!
At the same time, this was also their best chance at expanding their battle achievements!
Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan and the Heavenly Karma God battled and retreated intermittently as they hastily retreated with the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army.
The partially replenished Celestial Thearch also joined in on the battle, ruthlessly targeting the escaping Heavenly Human soldiers. With a casual wave of his hand, he could unleash an earth-shattering might and kill several powerful beings.
The casualties of the western front Heavenly Human Tribe United Army were building up dramatically.
…
On the central front battlefield in the Tai Chu Continent.
Outside Yue Tong City.
The countless undead soldiers that had been extremely ferocious just a moment ago suddenly started to collapse to the ground before turning into particles that were even finer than dust.
The Fifth Heaven Vanquishing Earth Destroying Tune disappeared.
It wasn’t destroyed by the enemies. Rather, it had lost its effects by itself.
This tune was far too formidable, and the Heaven Crushing United Army, which supported the spell formation, would suffer a devastating backlash if it let it run for too long. The army had already reached its limit by allowing it to run until now.
Although the Fifth Tune stopped abruptly, its effects had brought great joy to the Heaven Crushing United Army. At the same time, it shocked the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army immensely.
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army was brutally cut down to one hundred and ten million soldiers from an initial one hundred and eighty million soldiers. As for the Heaven Crushing United Army? The Heaven Crushing United Army had merely lost a tad over six million soldiers. In other words, the Heaven Crushing United Army still had an army of seventy million strong!
The casualty rate of the two armies stood at an astonishing ratio of ten to one. Moreover, this was in light of the fact that the Heaven Crushing United Army was significantly outnumbered by its enemies. How could one not be deeply astonished?
The two armies started to become more and more similar in numbers.
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army was rapidly losing its advantage in size.
However, the powerful beings of the Heavenly Human Tribe didn’t back down in the face of such massive losses. Instead, they continued to fight as if their lives depended on it.
Meanwhile, the morale of the Heaven Crushing United Army cultivators soared steadily, causing them to fight with renewed energy and vigor. The battlefield once again became a grinding disc of flesh and death. The battle was incredibly intense and brutal.
…
To the west of Yue Tong City, the two balls of energies that seemed like they were about to burst through the sky continued to tangle and collide with one another. One ball of energy was majestic and tremendous, with its azure-yellow energy resonating with the entire stretch of boundless earth. Meanwhile, the other ball of energy was silent and dark, like a bottomless abyss. It dragged half of heaven and earth into a state of absolute and eternal voidness, and it was as if it wanted to engulf the entire world.
Ordinary powerful beings would be gripped with fear if they so much as stole a single glance at this kind of extraordinary battle. Even super mighty beings of the Dao Integration Stage would go numb with fear if they gazed at this kind of battle from a distance. This battle had already entered a realm that was far beyond their capabilities.
In the center of this battleground.
As though he were the ruler of darkness, An Lin’s white robe was dyed with darkness. At the same time, boundless darkness swarmed behind his back.
He held the pitch-black Evil-Slaying Sword in his hand and slashed it toward the Heavenly Earth God who stood before him. The boundless darkness behind his back continued to engulf everything before it, yet it was simply unable to penetrate the billowing azure-yellow energy.
The Evil-Slaying Sword was firmly blocked by the Heavenly Earth God’s fist.
The earth beneath his feet was his support. It was due to this very fact that his figure was gigantic and mighty beyond belief. When one glanced at him, they would involuntarily feel tiny and insignificant.
However, An Lin didn’t experience these feelings. Right now, he felt as if he were an expanse of darkness and void. Whether or not his opponent was powerful or mighty was of no significance to him. If they annoyed him, then all he needed to do was to engulf them with his darkness…
“You’re… already nearing your limit… Am I correct…?” An Lin suddenly smiled as he gazed at the amber-like youth before him.
The Heavenly Earth God’s expression became extremely grave.
“You’re merely an undeveloped Heavenly Darkness God, yet you dare to challenge me?!”
The youth felt extremely vexed and humiliated. He stared at An Lin, yet he discovered that An Lin had seemingly melted into the darkness. No matter how he focused his gaze, he still couldn’t make out An Lin’s true appearance.
No, that’s not it, the Heavenly Earth God thought to himself in astonishment. An Lin is the embodiment of darkness, so what I’m seeing is indeed An Lin’s true appearance. His true appearance is the darkness!
“All that enters my vision is darkness… Heh, in order to defeat me, you’re even planning to abandon your human body…” The Heavenly Earth God chuckled coldly.
“Abandon? I’ve always been a single body,” An Lin said calmly.
The Evil-Slaying Sword slowly pressed down, causing pitch-black cracks to appear in the Heavenly Earth God’s fist.
Darkness started to seep into his body.
The Heavenly Earth God was both shocked and infuriated. His invincible defense—which was the culmination of all his power—had actually been breached by An Lin just like that? No… he couldn’t accept this!
He clenched his jaws and unleashed all of his power to defend against the invading darkness.
However, like ink seeping into a pond, the proliferation of the darkness was unstoppable…
Eventually, even the purest of water would be dyed pitch-black by the dark ink.
The Heavenly Dao that the Heavenly Earth God wielded was tremendous and terrifying. In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to label it as invincible. Matter was boundless and infinite. However, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao’s will, he was only able to manipulate a finite amount of matter at this moment. Faced with the relentless attacks of An Lin’s bottomless darkness, he eventually showed his enemy a weak point.
The supreme azure-yellow energy that permeated half of heaven and earth was being rapidly eaten away by darkness. Like an overwhelming demonic claw, the darkness slowly ripped the power of earth apart, leaving a trail of obliterated energy in its wake.
“I’ve won.” An Lin’s eyes were emotionless, and there was barely any happiness on his face. It was as if he were sentencing the fate of his enemy. The Evil-Slaying Sword in his hand slowly slashed down.
The fist was ripped apart by the darkness. Then, it was completely engulfed.
Immediately afterward, the Evil-Slaying Sword viciously cut down.
Whoosh!
The formidable and profound sword intent sliced apart everything in its path and stretched an infinite length into the distance. The azure-yellow Heavenly Dao Power, the sky, the earth, and the boundless void were all sliced into two!
An expression of vexation and disbelief was frozen onto the earth-armored youth’s face. His armor was cracked apart, and a black sword gash ran all the way from his head to his toe. The sight of this was especially wicked and tragic.
“How can this be… I actually lost…”
The Heavenly Earth God stumbled back a few steps.
He watched the pitch-black sword gash expand through his body, yet he was completely unable to contain it. Eventually, he was completely engulfed by the darkness under An Lin’s emotionless gaze.
The darkness vanished, and the earth disappeared.
Only a white-robed and sword-wielding male remained standing on the land.
The distant Heavenly Yin Yang God was stunned as he watched this unfold before his eyes. It was as if he had seen something tremendously terrifying. “This… I’m not seeing things, am I? “The Heavenly Earth God was actually killed by him?!
“An Lin is actually this powerful? A storm is on the way… A storm is on the way… Heavenly Sea God, what should we do? Why are you still—”
Slap!
The Heavenly Sea God slapped the Heavenly Yin Yang God across the head, almost giving him a concussion.
“Calm down. Earth is a paramount Heavenly God. His techniques are peerless, and his combat capability is unrivaled. Are you belittling him by claiming that he’s been killed by An Lin?” the Heavenly Sea God angrily questioned the Heavenly Yin Yang God.
The Heavenly Yin Yang God was on the verge of tears. He also didn’t want to say these kinds of things! However, wasn’t this reality sitting right before their very eyes?
Why am I getting slapped for speaking the truth? And you’re even shifting the fault over to me?
At the same moment, the wide and endless earth suddenly started to quake violently.
Heaven and earth changed color once again.
Countless strands of azure-yellow auras rose from the fractured earth and soared into the sky.
“It’s coming!” the Heavenly Sea God exclaimed solemnly.
“It’s coming? What’s coming?” The Heavenly Yin Yang God was perplexed.
“When a paramount Heavenly God is driven toward death, they have a single chance to break free from their shackles and unleash the ultimate power that belongs to them!” the Heavenly Sea God explained.
The Heavenly Yin Yang God was stunned by this revelation. He had never heard of such a thing before.
“So you’re saying that the Heavenly Earth God isn’t dead?” the Heavenly Yin Yang God asked excitedly.
“Of course..” The Heavenly Sea God silently activated a protective shield and enveloped both himself and the Heavenly Yin Yang God inside of it. “It’s about to appear… the true dao form of the Heavenly Earth God!”
