Chapter 1582: The Disabled Yet Determined An Lin
Xu Xiaolan had initially wanted to rebut An Lin, but after seeing the impa.s.se that the Heavenly Metal G.o.d and the Ancient Dragon Empress were caught in and the expression of yearning and determination on An Lin’s face, she finally conceded.
She still had the power to protect An Lin, so why not trust in his judgment?
Xu Xiaolan knew that An Lin wouldn’t do pointless things. He said that he would be able to help and that he had a way to combat the Heavenly Metal G.o.d, which meant that he must have had something in mind already. This was the blind trust and confidence Xu Xiaolan had developed toward An Lin after knowing him for so long.
She spread open her white holy flame wings and rose into the air, flying toward the battlefield in the distance and leaving a silvery-white trajectory in her wake.
The night wind surged past, and her long hair spilled out like a black waterfall behind her. Her eyes reflected the light of the moon, and it looked as if there were b.a.l.l.s of holy flames burning within them.
Xu Xiaolan flew ahead at an extremely fast speed and very quickly made it to the Heavenly Metal G.o.d, upon which she abruptly drew her Dragon Sparrow Sword.
“Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Vermilion Bird Strike!”
An extremely vast aura exploded from her body, and she was like a Vermilion Bird flying through the air, but also as holy and proud as a Holy Maiden standing above the heavens. Her Dragon Sparrow Sword was imbued with extremely powerful heaven crus.h.i.+ng true intent as well the essential power of the Vermilion Bird, and it crashed down upon the Heavenly Metal G.o.d’s silvery-white s.h.i.+eld!
Screech…!
An extremely sharp screeching sound erupted once again.
The silvery-white liquid metal had a gash slashed into it by the sword blade, and the parts that came into direct contact with the sword blade were seething and bubbling slightly from the extremely scorching temperatures.
The Heavenly Metal G.o.d was already barely on equal footing against the Ancient Dragon Empress, and now that she had another super mighty figure who was extremely proficient in Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques to deal with, the battle was instantly transformed.
“Divine Phoenix Maiden…” the Heavenly Metal G.o.d spat through gritted teeth with resentment and rage on her face, clearly extremely furious about her intervention.
In contrast, the Ancient Dragon Empress’ eyes lit up with excitement. She wasn’t some pedantic or honorable warrior who insisted on fighting one on one battles. Even though this new ally had been her enemy a hundred years ago, she was still very glad that she had come to help her out after she had been fighting arduously on her own for such a long time.
Neither of them would have ever imagined that a hundred years later, they would be fighting the same enemy, and this enemy was a Heavenly G.o.d who wielded the paramount power of the Heavenly Dao!
The silvery-white liquid the Heavenly Metal G.o.d had unleashed was on the brink of collapse.
Right at this moment, a burst of crimson light suddenly burst forth from her crimson eyes before striking upon the silvery-white liquid metal. She then spoke in a voice as cold as a heavenly decree.
“Injecting star level zero degree radiation metal.”
Upon being injected by the crimson light, the silvery-white liquid metal suddenly became a squirming crimson alloy. At the same time, an invisible radiation energy began to emanate from the alloy before instantly enshrouding Xu Xiaolan and the Ancient Dragon Empress.
In that instant, both Xu Xiaolan and the Ancient Dragon Empress felt like their bodies had undergone a change.
The level of activity within their cells had dropped to a freezing point as if they had lost all of their vitality. If it weren’t for that fact that both of them had cultivated in defensive Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques, there was a very good chance that they could have been killed by the radiation from that crimson alloy!
The crimson alloy slowly converged to form a ball that flew toward Xu Xiaolan and the Ancient Dragon Empress, sending boundless red radiation energy surging into the night.
Xu Xiaolan and the Ancient Dragon Empress’ bodies suddenly became extremely sluggish at that moment, as if they were summoning all of their powers to resist the effects of the radiation.
Crack…
The Heavenly Metal G.o.d’s divine halo suddenly cracked, and her aura quickly began to diminis.h.!.+
However, she was not panicked or enraged in the slightest, as if she had already antic.i.p.ated that this would happen.
She was only smiling with a cruel expression on her face, and she wielded a twist, crimson metal sword in her hand as she charged toward Xu Xiaolan and the Ancient Dragon Empress, who had both been close to being immobilized by the radiation!
The Heavenly Metal G.o.d had braced herself as soon as Xu Xiaolan entered the battle. In order to insta-kill her two opponents, she had unleashed a power that would be sure to incur a backlash from the Heavenly Dao upon her!
This was a worthwhile exchange!
However, just as the Heavenly Metal G.o.d was quickly approaching the two of them, a coffin lid suddenly flew into the sky from Xu Xiaolan’s back, and a white-robed figure appeared before her.
An Lin stood in mid-air with an earthy yellow divine halo above his head, which was glowing with a scintillating light. A layer of earthy armor encapsulated his entire body, releasing an aura of eternal durability and keeping all radiation at bay.
This was the power of mountains he had obtained from the Heavenly Mountain G.o.d, and it was quite new and refres.h.i.+ng!
A boundless power swept forth like countless ma.s.sive mountains cras.h.i.+ng down upon the Heavenly Metal G.o.d. She was clearly unable to fight against the power of the mountains in a direct confrontation.
An Lin’s face was quite pale as he looked at the Heavenly Metal G.o.d. He was clearly forcing himself to use the power of the mountains.
The Heavenly Metal G.o.d initially faltered momentarily at the sight of An Lin before an expression of elation appeared on her face. “An Lin, you think you can defeat me in your current state? If you want to die, then I’ll grant your wis.h.!.+”
“Your condition isn’t all that great either.” An Lin could see that the Heavenly Metal G.o.d was actually already extremely feeble, and this was the best time to strike!
The Heavenly Metal G.o.d was drawing closer and closer.
An Lin knew that in his current condition, he would not be able to defeat the Heavenly Metal G.o.d if he fought fire with fire. Hence, he pulled out an extremely mundane-looking stone.
This was the special weapon that Nuwa had bestowed upon him, the heavenly stone! The heavenly stone was imbued with Nuwa’s power of chaos and could be used to inflict lethal damage upon his opponent.
The heavenly stone could be used ten times in total, and two of those uses had already been expended against Emperor Bei Xing.
He still had eight uses left, and this was one of his biggest trump cards!
And now, he was going to install a hack onto this trump card!
An Lin had already planned out everything in advance before coming here.
The heavenly stone was a stone, so what would happen if his power of mountains was to be bestowed upon it?
An Lin looked at the oncoming Heavenly Metal G.o.d and was already pouring forth his power of mountains into the heavenly stone in a frenzy.
This was going to be the decisive moment in the battle.
The stone suddenly began to smoothen and was reduced to half its original size.
At the same time, its density had been maximized!
Crack crack crack…
s.p.a.ce cracked open as an inky-black divine light suddenly erupted forth from the stone, threatening to engulf everything around it!
This was a peculiar type of chaotic power, but it fused extremely harmoniously with the divine light emanating from the stone. In fact, the two powers enhanced one another, resulting in a qualitative change that struck fear into even An Lin’s heart.
Power of mountains, maximized!
An Lin let loose an almighty roar as the light from his divine halo converged toward the stone, making it as dazzling as golden jade and bestowing upon it a paramount crus.h.i.+ng power at the same time.
“Go!”
The stone shot through the air toward the Heavenly Metal G.o.d as a golden streak of light.
The stone was only about the size of a palm, but in that instant, the Heavenly Metal G.o.d felt as if a boundless super-divine mountain were cras.h.i.+ng down upon her with devastating divine might!
