Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“My G.o.d! Am I hallucinating?” an immortal murmured to themselves.
The voices of the seven Celestial Maidens also came to an abrupt halt as they stared at the scenes unfolding before their eyes.
“Am I dreaming? An Lin… An Lin chopped off one of the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s arms?”
“The Celestial Thearch was only able to break through the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s defense while the other four Emperors were completely unable to do so. But An Lin, he…”
Everyone was struck by a sense of astonishment and incredulity.
The scenes unfolding before their eyes were simply too outrageous, and they were finding it difficult to process the situation. However, no matter how astonished they were, they could not deny that a certain flame had been ignited in all of their hearts.
On the Wind Demons’ battlefield.
All of the students and teachers were already beginning to applaud and cheer.
“Long live, G.o.d An!”
“Senior Student An Lin is invincible!”
“He’s so cool!!”
“I told you, Student An Lin is the number one legendary figure in this entire university! His legendary status is no fluke!”
“We have to hurry up and get rid of all of these Wind Demons too!”
The battle against the Wind Demons was still in progress, but the students and teachers were greatly buoyed while the Wind Demons were already showing precursors of defeat. Over half of them had already been slain, and their army was on the brink of collapse.
Xu Xiaolan burned the final purple-robed Wind Emperor to dust before turning to look at the man who held the rapt attention of countless people. He was currently engaged in the most vital battle here…
One of the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s arms had been dismembered by An Lin.
This was an extremely astonis.h.i.+ng scene to all bystanders. Even the five emperors fell into an involuntary daze upon seeing this. However, there was no sense of smugness or elation on An Lin’s face. Instead, he heaved a surrept.i.tious sigh of relief.
As expected, the Evil-Slaying Sword was able to break through the barriers around the snow mountains, so it was also able to break through the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s defenses.
He was capable of killing the Heavenly Wind G.o.d!
An Lin stepped forward and unleashed his Wind Sword technique again as his sword flashed toward the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s neck like a bolt of inky-black lightning.
The Heavenly Wind G.o.d had just had one of its arms severed, and it had no time to evade from this point-blank range!
Everyone involuntarily held their breaths as they stared at An Lin’s sword with transfixed expressions.
However, right at this moment.
The Golden Essence Battle Wind saber in the arm that was severed flung into the air suddenly and stabbed into the ground like a pillar of golden light!
Boom!
The golden light crashed into the ground and punctured the entire floating continent.
Everything had happened far too spontaneously for anyone to be able to react.
Including An Lin.
As the scintillating golden light dissipated, everyone was greeted by the sight of An Lin’s body, still hunched forward in a lunging pose, but the Evil-Slaying Sword in his hand had already been caught in the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s vice-like grip.
Pitter, patter…
Blood splattered onto the ground and soon began to flow like a stream.
Everyone focused their gaze to discover that a fist-sized hole had already appeared on An Lin’s chest, and blood had stained his daoist robe.
An Lin’s body swayed slightly, and he couldn’t help but throw up another mouthful of blood.
“An Lin!!!”
“You have to hold on!”
All of the immortals outside of the enchantment barrier felt as if their hearts had leaped into their throats.
All seven Celestial Maidens also let loose cries of surprise.
Xue Zhantian, Da Bai, and the other beast pets were all screaming their master’s name.
Xu Xiaolan’s eyes were locked on An Lin as she gripped her Dragon Sparrow Sword tightly in her hand.
The tables had been flipped far too quickly, and the hope that had only just been ignited was about to be snuffed out again.
The Heavenly Wind G.o.d examined the Evil-Slaying Sword with a rare hint of curiosity on its face. “Your weapon is very special. Why is it able to break through my power?”
An Lin gritted his teeth, and it was as if flames of wrath were erupting from his eyes.
All of a sudden, the insignia of a golden eye appeared on his forehead.
Golden ripples proliferated throughout the entire heaven and earth.
Divine Plunder Technique!
An Lin was going to plunder the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s abilities!
In the next instant, a boundlessly vast power a.s.saulted his mind. He felt as if he were but a speck of insignificant and vulnerable dust being confronted by the entire heaven and earth.
This was not a power that he could bear, and indescribable agony instantly spread through his entire body.
“Ah…!”
An Lin clasped his hands to his head and howled in agony as his Divine Plunder Technique crumbled instantly.
The Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s golden eyes flashed with even more curiosity. “How very interesting. You’re trying to steal my power now…”
It materialized a new arm to replace the severed one, and its hand locked around An Lin’s neck in a powerful grip. Its terrifying strength broke through An Lin’s body of the War G.o.d, and the gruesome sound of bones being crushed erupted.
The Heavenly Wind G.o.d smiled as it surveyed An Lin’s agonized expression. “Don’t you know that I am the very heavens? You’re trying to steal the power of the heavens? Shouldn’t an ant like you know his place?”
An Lin’s eyes were entirely bloodshot, and he forced himself into action as a divine light burst forth from his Evil-Slaying Sword, which engulfed the entire heaven and earth, plunging the entire world around him into absolute darkness.
Divine tool domain, activate!
An Lin suddenly disappeared from the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s death grip. His body had transformed into darkness before appearing elsewhere. At the same time, he unleashed his most powerful sword strike.
Evil Sword Technique, Eternal Night!
Darkness surged as a peerlessly sharp sword projection engulfed all power, s.p.a.ce, laws, and everything else!
The Eternal Night attack was quite similar in effect to Emperor Chang Sheng’s Sky Engulfing Formation. However, the Eternal Night attack had the added power of being able to slice through the laws of heaven and earth, thereby making it a threat to the Heavenly Wind G.o.d!
“Open the heavenly vein.” A divine light erupted forth from the Heavenly Wind G.o.d’s halo, and clear meridians suddenly appeared all over its pristine, white body. Its aura elevated explosively as if the entire heavens were venting its flaming wrath, and even the divine tool’s domain of darkness was close to being shattered by the terrifying aura emanating from its body.
It unleashed a plain and simple punch.
Bam!
An Lin’s Eternal Night suddenly exploded before being annihilated by the heavenly wind power!
Not only that, but the white wind imbued with absolute cutting power pulverized the divine tool domain before flas.h.i.+ng past An Lin’s body.
Over a hundred ghastly wounds were instantly sliced into An Lin’s body, from which blood gushed forth, and he fell feebly to the ground.
However, he suddenly adjusted his body during his fall so that he could hold himself up on the heels of his hands.
“You’re very interesting. You possess an aura similar to mine, a range of strange abilities, as well as the power to hurt me. Who are you?” The Heavenly Wind G.o.d made his way toward An Lin, who was completely covered in blood and was entirely unrecognizable.
“Can’t speak? Fair enough. Your divine body has sustained over ninety-nine percent damage, so it would be a little difficult to speak.
“Theoretically speaking, your body shouldn’t even have the structural integrity to hold itself up any longer, so why won’t you fall?” The Heavenly Wind G.o.d materialized another golden wind saber as it looked at An Lin, who was struggling to hold on with all his might.
An Lin panted heavily, and the images before his eyes were slowly becoming blurred. He was no longer able to hold on, but one thought lingered in his mind and continued to hold him up: I can’t fall now!
If I fall, my fellow students, my teachers, my friends, my beast pets, Xiaolan, all of them are going to die here.
I refuse to lose!
“So be it. I’ll kill you and examine your sword later.
“Time to die now.”
“An Lin!!!”
Two voices sounded at the same time.
