Chapter 1434: Disabling the Death Timer
Disable the death timer?
Both the Great Empress and the High Priestess were ecstatic to hear this.
Shangguan Yi’s features instantly lit up with hope.
If there really was a way for An Lin to disable this spell technique, then the snow maidens would be saved!
The Celestial Thearch offered words of caution at this moment as he said, “An Lin, I hope that you can understand one thing. If you disable the death timer, there is a very good chance that the opposition will also detect this and come to hunt you down!”
An Lin smiled as he replied, “That’s what I’m waiting for. In fact, I would be worried about it not coming as I wouldn’t be able to disable the death timers on all one hundred million snow maidens in ten days. It’s best to get it over here as quickly as possible and kill it on the spot.”
The Celestial Thearch didn’t say anything. He knew that An Lin’s plan from the very beginning had always been to kill that living being.
If that living being really was a representative of the Heavenly Dao, then the decision he was making was actually for the best. All representatives of the Heavenly Dao appeared to harbor strong animosity toward the human race, so it was best to eliminate as many of them as possible while the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was still somewhat restricting their power!
This battle was not just for the snow maidens. If it weren’t for the fact that he was trying to protect his friends and family, as well as the entire human race, An Lin would not have taken this risk!
The Celestial Thearch fell into a slight daze as he appraised the young man before him.
The Heavenly Court was the most powerful force in the Kingdom of the Nine States and held paramount authority over the human race. At the same time, the Heavenly Court would always be the first to stand up when the human race encountered disasters.
An Lin was truly worthy of his t.i.tle as the Heavenly Court War G.o.d by choosing to stand up at a time like this. The Heavenly Court War G.o.d was not just the most competent fighter outside of the five emperors, they also had to know what responsibility was and what they were fighting for.
It was quite clear that An Lin satisfied both these criteria!
All of the humans of the Kingdom of the Nine States were perhaps all cultivating, or pursuing fame and fortune, or living content, happy lives, or perhaps even discussing the meteoric rise of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
But none of them knew that the man standing at the forefront of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was now silently shouldering the heavy burden of protecting the entire human race and charging into a battle for them, which could quite possibly spell his death.
With this in mind, an involuntary smile appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s face. “An Lin, do what you need to do. You have my full support.”
An Lin nodded with a solemn expression before standing in front of Shangguan Yi.
“What do you need me to do?” Shangguan Yi was a little nervous.
“I’m going to inject my divine sense into your mind. All you have to do is let me in.” An Lin pressed his hand tightly against Shangguan Yi’s forehead.
Shangguan Yi closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
At the same time, his divine sense had already entered Shangguan Yi’s mind.
The death timer was extremely prominent in her mind, and it was ticking away second by second.
There was a skull projection around the timer, and he could sense an extremely terrifying will of death from the skull…
It was no exaggeration to say that anyone who slept with the skull beside them would have nightmares.
He had to commend the snow maidens on their mental fort.i.tude for being able to remain so calm even with these terrifying things within their minds. Perhaps the hards.h.i.+ps and adversities they had suffered made them stronger.
An Lin banished these errant thoughts before inching his divine sense toward the death timer.
However, when his divine sense was just about to make contact with the death timer, it was kept out by an invisible barrier. No matter how hard he tried to bypa.s.s the barrier, he was unable to do so, as if the highest decree from the heavens was preventing him from doing so and that it was able to keep all powers in this world at bay.
“Interesting… No wonder you’re saying this is the same type of living being as the Heavenly Wind G.o.d. This really is a power that no living being of this world can possess…” An Lin chuckled.
All of a sudden, a wind divine halo appeared above his head, from which a paramount G.o.dly aura erupted.
The Celestial Thearch, the Great Empress, and the High Priestess were all astonished to see this.
They could sense a power that was far beyond them from the halo!
“This power… He’s using the power of the Heavenly Wind G.o.d?” the Celestial Thearch murmured to himself.
“An Lin really is the hope of the snow maidens!” The Great Empress stared at the man before her, and her cheeks became flushed with excitement.
An Lin had finally unleashed his heavenly wind power again.
He imbued his divine sense with this power to form wind blades hacking toward the death timer.
Sweat began to bead on Shangguan Yi’s forehead, and her feature also paled slightly. Even though that power was not directed toward her, she still found it difficult to handle An Lin’s heavenly wind power.
The divine sense wind blades fell upon the invisible barrier and slowly tore through it.
An Lin stirred upon seeing this. It was working!
The representatives of the Heavenly Dao could combat one another!
He did not hesitate any longer. After slicing open the barrier, he immediately crushed the skull projection along with the death timer with his powerful divine sense.
Boom!
Shangguan Yi let loose a pained moan before a ball of black energy exited her body and disappeared into thin air.
Her intricate features were a little pale, but her golden eyes were filled with joy when she opened them. “Success!”
The Great Empress and the High Priestess were both ecstatic.
The Celestial Thearch’s expression also eased. The fact that An Lin was able to overcome this power meant that he possessed the power to battle that mysterious living being.
“Thank you, Sect Leader An Lin. You have saved the snow maidens from extinction.” The Great Empress extended another grateful bow.
“I still haven’t defeated that mysterious being yet, so why are you thanking me so early?” An Lin smiled.
“The Ice Matriarch has been saved. Even if the rest of us were all to die, the snow maiden race would not truly perish,” the Great Empress said with a serious expression.
It looked like the snow maiden entourage had already informed the Great Empress of the fact that Shangguan Yi had revealed her ident.i.ty to An Lin. Otherwise, the Great Empress would not be bringing up this information so easily.
The Great Empress gripped the air, and a smooth, ice barrier enshrouded the entire sky.
Her next words reverberated throughout the entire snow maiden land of refuge.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!”
Their formation was unleashed.
The snow maidens were led by thirteen Holy Palace Leaders, and all of them flew into the sky, creating a battle formation and surveying their surroundings with cautious eyes.
“Come on, let’s keep disabling these death timers.” An Lin was planning to further provoke his opponent by continuing to undo their spell techniques!
The Great Empress and Meng Zhi looked at each other before positioning themselves in front of An Lin.
An Lin laid one hand on the Great Empress’ forehead and another hand on High Priestess Meng Zhi’s forehead to disable both of their death timers at the same time!
