Chapter 2128: The Despairing Heavenly Human Tribe United Army
“Retreat!”
“Hurry, retreat!”
“Hurry, run!”
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army fled in disarray after suffering a resounding defeat.
Not only were the soldiers of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army fleeing, but even the Heavenly Gods—who were among the most powerful beings on the battlefield—were fleeing as well.
The Heavenly Temperature God, Heavenly Slaughter God, Heavenly Soundless Goddess, Heavenly God Xing Ji, and Heavenly Goddess Bai Hua were all severely wounded. However, they had all persisted and held onto the hope that a Supreme Heavenly God might come to help them.
The result? The Heavenly Earth God had been killed, the World Tree had been toppled, and the Central Heavenly Gate had been obliterated…
The Supreme Heavenly Gods hadn’t even been able to protect the Heavenly Gate, so how would they have time to come over to save them?
They knew that they couldn’t seize Yue Tong City any longer. Thus, they resolutely chose to retreat!
They had suffered a huge defeat, and they were now fleeing in chaos and disarray.
They were pushed further and further from Yue Tong City.
Meanwhile, countless spell techniques exploded among the fleeing Heavenly Human Tribe United Army, leaving mutilated corpses littered all over the battlefield.
The ones who fled the quickest were the forces from the Tai Chu Continent.
The Dark Marshlands, Creation Realm, Void Spirit Realm, and Western Dragon Forest—these were the four forces that fled the quickest. There was absolutely no hesitation in their retreat.
In any case, they had simply wanted to become a subservient dog and find a powerful force to live under. But what the f*ck was the result? The Heavenly Human Tribe was surprisingly fragile against assaults! They had been suppressed by a single person—An Lin!
An Lin was well on his way to defying the heavens!
The beings from the Creation Realm felt the most complicated emotions.
Initially, their relationship with the Heavenly Court had been quite good. However, when it came to this existential matter, they had chosen to side with opposing forces. The primary aim of a species was to reproduce and pass down their inheritances. To achieve this aim, the Creation Realm had even been willing to use their weapons against fellow beings of the Tai Chu Continent.
In the beginning, they were confident that they had chosen the right side. The Heavenly Humans were far too powerful. Moreover, standing up against Heaven was simply impossible. The only option was to surrender and serve. This was the only way to stay alive.
Now, however, the string of resounding victories for the Heaven Crushing United Army had given them several loud smacks across the face!
Hong Dou almost couldn’t resist his urge to surrender. He almost couldn’t resist his urge to grab onto An Lin’s leg and call him papa and ask for him to take him in.
However, he knew that An Lin most likely wouldn’t forgive him.
The Creation Realm had already chosen a path, and this was a path that they would have to follow to the end, even with tears of regret on their eyes!
Spell techniques continued to explode among the fleeing Heavenly Human Tribe United Army.
The Heaven Crushing United Army continued to pursue them without mercy.
The casualties for the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army started to soar.
Meanwhile, the Heaven Vanquishing Formation had already started to unleash its Sixth Tune—Rain of Meteors and Fire.
Countless flaming meteors materialized above the formation and crashed toward the fleeing Heavenly Humans.
Each flaming meteor possessed a devastating might. Not only did they possess incredible momentum, but they were even bathed in raging flames. When they struck the ground, the impact and shockwaves could cause the land within a radius of one thousand meters to shatter and crack. The explosion of flames could further incinerate everything in the surroundings.
There were tens of thousands of these devastating meteors, and they almost covered the entire battlefield.
This was a catastrophic attack!
This was an almost inescapable large-scale attack!
The members of the Heavenly Human Tribe and other allied forces all felt as if they were facing doomsday.
They didn’t dare to resist, and they didn’t dare to engage in battle any longer. The only thought on their minds at this moment was of escape.
The despairing realization they might die at any moment and the petrifying feeling of being pursued by countless powerful beings allowed them to experience the crushing emotions of defeat that the Heaven Crushing United Army had once experienced.
“I’ll cover the rear!”
At this moment, a dignified yet tragic voice suddenly boomed through heaven and earth.
A sword projection that was as radiant as white lightning slashed through the air and obliterated over half of the devastating flaming meteors!
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army was stunned by this sudden turn of events. This was a feeling of surviving after a brush with death. A mighty figure was helping them escape!
“It’s the Heavenly Sword God!”
“The Heavenly Sword God has already activated all nine of his divine halos! There’s no way he can survive, but he can create an opportunity for us to escape…”
“Hurry, escape! He’s sacrificed his life for us, so we have to cherish this opportunity!”
The Heavenly Sword God’s act of sacrifice became the only ray of light and warmth in the fleeing soldiers’ despairing hearts. In fact, some Heavenly Human soldiers were so moved that they even started to shed tears.
On this merciless and tragic battlefield, there was still a thin ray of light to warm their despairing hearts…
Sure enough, they all cherished this opportunity and started to flee even quicker.
The Heavenly Sword God took a deep breath and was just about to obliterate the remaining meteors. However, at this moment, a fist suddenly appeared before him. This palm was incredibly quick.
Boom!
The Heavenly Sword God didn’t react in time, and his entire body distorted under the tremendous force of the strike. At the same time, his body crashed toward the earth.
“That’ll teach you to show off!” Demon Emperor Si Yu roared.
Before the Heavenly Sword God could even pick himself up from the ground, that nightmarish fist was already surging toward his face again. “That’ll teach you to run away and not battle against me!”
Boom!
There was an agonized wail as the Heavenly Sword God was almost beaten unconscious by this punch.
“Who gave you the courage to flex while battling against me?!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Demon Emperor Si Yu launched a flurry of punches at the Heavenly Sword God.
The Heavenly Sword God was beaten black and blue. His body was riddled with wounds, and he was almost on the verge of becoming a cripple. What time or energy did he have to deal with the remaining meteors in the sky?
“Heavenly Sword God!”
“Wuu… Wuu… Heavenly Sword God…”
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army discovered that their only ray of light had been beaten into a pulp. This was truly an indescribable feeling. There was grief and sadness, yet there was also awkwardness and helplessness.
After a moment of thought, they decided to transform this feeling of grief and sadness into motivation. They would continue to flee!
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army was relentlessly attacked as it continued to flee. This was truly a miserable and pitiful sight.
Right at this moment, however, the Heavenly Humans suddenly noticed a black dot speeding toward them.
“Look! There’s a cultivator in front of us!”
“This cultivator is…”
For some reason, the hearts of the tens of millions of Heavenly Human Tribe United Army soldiers all skipped a beat when they saw the face of this cultivator. The deafening sound of exploding spell techniques and shouting soldiers suddenly disappeared, and all that remained in their minds was the face of this cultivator. This was a face that caused them to feel fear from the very core of their being.
“T-this is…”
“He’s An Lin!”
“An Lin!!!”
“Sh*t! We’re done for… We’re done for… There’s An Lin in front of us, and there’s a pursuing army behind us…”
“Is the central front of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army going to fall here?!” a Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General asked with a look of mental breakdown on his face.
Even Great Generals were feeling such despair, so it was imaginable just how broken and despairing ordinary soldiers of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army were currently feeling…
That was right. That black-robed man was none other than An Lin.
After setting up the Darkness Formation, the power and strength that had been bestowed upon him by the system had already disappeared. What replaced his invincibility was a feeling of incredible weakness and exhaustion.
However, he knew that he couldn’t lose consciousness at this moment.
On a battlefield such as this, losing consciousness would mean gifting one’s life to their enemy. It would mean leaving oneself open to being dealt a killing blow by their enemies. Thus, An Lin ingested another divine pill to forcefully keep himself awake. He rushed toward Yue Tong City.
While returning, he had also exchanged a glance with the Heavenly Sea God.
The Heavenly Sea God had trembled in fright as he wished An Lin good luck and a safe return. It was clear that he had been terrified by An Lin.
However, An Lin didn’t give this much thought. Right now, all he wanted to do was return to Yue Tong City.
Yet, just as he arrived at the battlefield before Yue Tong City, he was greeted by the sight of an army of tens of millions charging toward him. Moreover, this army even consisted of numerous Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals, as well as several Heavenly Gods…
Right now, there was only a single phrase in his mind—holy f*ck!
He was already beyond exhausted, yet he discovered that there was an army of tens of millions lunging toward him… Just how great was the animosity between them? Didn’t he merely kill their leader, chop their tree, and smash their gate? Was there any need for such strong hostility?! Huh?!
An Lin couldn’t help but feel despair. Right now, he probably couldn’t even defeat Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals!
The massive army charging toward him could probably drown him if each soldier spat a mouthful of saliva at him.
After all my glorious feats, am I really going to die here?
Just as this thought crossed An Lin’s mind, a strange scene suddenly played out before him.
The army of tens of millions that had been charging toward him just then suddenly stopped in their tracks. The entire battlefield fell silent.
The faces of the soldiers were filled with sheer shock and terror!
Then, they suddenly turned around at the same time. They had chosen to run back the other way!
“Hurry, run! An Lin has come!”
“An Lin! It’s actually An Lin!”
“Wuu… Wuu… Why is my life so miserable?!”
“Charge back! F*cking sh*t! We’re going to die anyway, so we might as well kill a few more enemies before we die!”
The army of tens of millions was extremely organized as they turned around to flee. As they fled, many of them wailed in misery, while others cursed in bitterness…
An Lin: “???”
An Lin was stumped as he stood in the chilly wind by himself.
Did I just…
Did I just scare off an army of tens of millions by myself?!
