Chapter 1662: Breaking Another Gate!
The destruction of the death formation had everyone in high spirits.
An Lin and the others didn’t really have high hopes at first, but who would have thought that the formation could be broken in this manner?
Chen Chen smiled. “Death is absolute stillness and nothingness, while activity is the basis of life. The power of lightning is imbued with extremely kinetic energy, so it is the bane of death.
“When lightning imbued with the paramount power of laws speared into the formation, it disrupted the balance of death, which is why we were able to quickly break this formation.”
He turned to look deep into An Lin’s eyes as he spoke.
“So you are the key to us breaking this formation.”
An Lin was quite flattered, but he still responded modestly, “No matter how powerful I am, I wasn’t the one who found the way to do this. Chen Chen, your wisdom and resourcefulness was the key.”
“I may have found the correct course of action, but it wouldn’t have mattered if we didn’t have your power. Hence, I will think you are the key,” Chen Chen responded in kind.
“No no no, you are the most important.” An Lin shook his head.
“No, you’re the most important one,” Chen Chen reb.u.t.ted.
“Stop! Stop!” Dongfang Zhuangs.h.i.+ couldn’t listen to a second more of this.
Why the h.e.l.l were they having a praising contest?
Were they going to break this gate or not?
Chen Chen ignored Dongfang Zhuangs.h.i.+ and continued to stare at An Lin with earnest eyes. “I feel like we make a good partners.h.i.+p. We should work with one another more regularly in the future…”
Xu Xiaolan’s eyebrows perked up upon hearing this.
An Lin was also quite surprised, but for some reason, he nodded in agreement. “Sure. We’re brothers, so we can definitely help each other out in the future.”
Chen Chen was the first person who had come to rescue them, so he did not want to reject Chen Chen.
After a brief conversation, everyone began to carefully close in on the Northern Heavenly Gate.
From here onward, they couldn’t see any more spell formations or obstructions that would impede them. Perhaps this was because all of the Heavenly G.o.ds were extremely confident in the spell formation set up by the Heavenly Life G.o.d.
That made sense. Their enemies were initially planning to insta-kill An Lin, then immediately rush back to the Heavenly Gate, so this spell formation would be more than sufficient. Getting trapped in the Divine Mirror World was certainly not part of their plans…
An Lin strode over and poked that Heavenly Human Tribe Great General who had been reduced to a charcoal statue by his lightning.
The Heavenly Human Tribe Great General dissipated in the wind, as if he were a statue constructed from dust.
An Lin was shocked to see this. Was his Golden Void Lightning this bad*ss now?
Chen Chen seemed to know what An Lin was thinking, and he provided an explanation, “When you struck him with your lightning, he also suffered a backlash from the death formation, which is why he ended up in this condition.”
So it wasn’t because of how bad*ss his Golden Void Lightning was.
An Lin was a little disappointed as he made his way toward the Northern Heavenly Gate.
The Northern Heavenly Gate looked exactly like the Southern Heavenly Gate. There were two colorful pillars over a million feet tall supporting the structure, alongside two gargantuan bronze gates the size of small continents, striking despair into the onlooker’s heart.
“I’m always really tempted to go in when I see these gates…” An Lin murmured.
Xu Xiaolan nodded. “I get the same feeling. I really want to see what’s behind this gate. The Heavenly Human Tribe can enter our world through the gate, so we should be able to get in and come back, right?”
“Please don’t do that.” The Celestial Thearch felt like it was better to be safe than sorry.
“If you go in, you probably won’t be able to come back.” Chen Chen sided with the Celestial Thearch.
An Lin didn’t waste any more time with words. He unleashed his three buff mystic techniques to elevate his aura to its very maximum, and black sword intent rose into the sky for several dozen kilometers from his Evil-Slaying Sword as he poured forth his power of darkness into the sword blade without any reservation.
“Evil Sword Technique, Royal Divine Monarch!”
An Lin let loose a clear cry as he slashed his sword toward the gargantuan pillar.
Boom!
The dark sword intent crashed into the pillar.
However, the pillar did not topple as An Lin expected.
The Evil-Slaying Sword imbued with his power of darkness struck the pillar, and a sharp screeching sound erupted as sword intent surged. However, the pillar remained completely motionless, and it was An Lin instead who almost had the sword knocked out of his hand from the recoil.
He focused his gaze, upon which his expression froze on his face.
There wasn’t even a tiny crack in the pillar!
“What’s going on… Why didn’t it work?” An Lin murmured.
Everyone was also quite surprised.
Back when they were at the Southern Heavenly Gate, everyone was also unable to destroy the gate no matter what they did. However, Chen Chen suggested for An Lin to use a dark-type spell technique, and just a single strike was able to topple the ma.s.sive pillar. Why wasn’t it working this time?
An Lin was unconvinced. He unleashed the power of darkness within his body again and unleashed another sword strike upon the pillar.
The sword intent swept forth like a black crescent moon, cras.h.i.+ng into the pillar with astonis.h.i.+ng power, but the pillar remained completely motionless.
“It still doesn’t work…” An Lin was at a loss for what to do.
Chen Chen also sprang into action and used his Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques.
Xu Xiaolan, Dongfang Zhuangs.h.i.+, and the Celestial Thearch also began to bombard the bronze gates or pillars with their spell techniques. Devastating energy instantly inundated the Northern Heavenly Gate.
However, their barrage of monstrous spell techniques came to no avail.
The Northern Heavenly Gate stood without any trace of damage, as if it was going to stand for all of eternity.
Everyone was starting to feel the onset of despair.
They had finally gotten a chance to infiltrate another Heavenly Gate, only to find that it was indestructible. What could they do?
An Lin decided to throw everything out the window and unleash a diverse barrage of spell techniques upon the gargantuan pillars.
After a while, a resounding boom suddenly erupted, and the pillar cracked open.
Everyone instantly fell silent.
All of them turned to look at An Lin with dumbstruck expressions.
An Lin was also quite astonished as he looked at the crumbling pillar. “That worked? That actually worked? What spell technique did I just use there?”
Xu Xiaolan replied with a disgruntled expression, “You used the Wings of True Fire, Heavenly Blade, G.o.d of War Heaven Blasting Cannon, a water vortex spell technique, and some sort of variation of the Mountain Quaking Fist…”
An Lin listened to Xu Xiaolan’s explanation and recalled back to all of the spell techniques he had bombarded the pillar with.
The final spell technique he had unleashed was a variation of Mountain Quaking Fist, and it was somehow able to destroy the pillar.
Boom!
The pillar fell to the ground, where it left an astonis.h.i.+ngly ma.s.sive crater.
An Lin looked on with incredulity as his earthy yellow divine halo s.h.i.+mmered above his head before looking down at his fist. “So… it was the heavenly mountain power that was effective this time?”
Everyone was already whooping with celebration.
“The Northern Heavenly Gate is about to become history as well!” The Celestial Thearch was elated.
“I felt a sense of pride well up in my heart at the sight of the tumbling pillar. Who would have thought that destroying a Heavenly Gate would be so satisfying?” Dongfang Zhuangs.h.i.+ was also very happy.
“An Lin, you’re the best!” Xu Xiaolan smiled.
The rest of the job was simple. An Lin destroyed the other pillar as well.
Everyone then bombarded the pa.s.sageway within the gate with all sorts of Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques before pus.h.i.+ng the gargantuan bronze gates into the chaotic turbulence.
Thus, the Northern Heavenly Gate disappeared from this world!
