Chapter 1772: The Terrifying Bone Spike
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The bone spike became a dark green color and flashed like a star.
It brightened and dimmed rhythmically, as if it were a beating heart.
The strange bone spike was most likely the key to killing the Spirit Patriarch…
An Lin could sense that the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s aura had become extremely feeble, as if he had been severely wounded somehow. At the same time, he could feel the bone spike growing more powerful, as if it had transformed into a strange life form.
What happened next verified An Lin’s speculation.
A satisfied moan suddenly sounded from the bone spike.
“Hmm… Very delicious energy. Not only is it imbued with essential power, but it also contains very nice dao power and bloodline power… You have satisfied me, so I can grant a wish for you. What would you like me to do?”
A clear male voice sounded from the bone spike.
From that voice, it appeared that this was a young man, but the voice was imbued with a type of power that transcended beyond this world and would seemingly exist for all of eternity.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e and a little insane. “I need you to…”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky above, giant mountains crashed down, howling winds surged, swords fell like rain, and lightning exploded. All four powers of the Heavenly G.o.ds were unleashed at the same time to cast a merciless barrage upon the Ancient Fiendcelestial!
An Lin was not going to give them a chance to chat. He took advantage of this opportunity and immediately bombarded him with attacks.
Using all four powers of the Heavenly G.o.ds at once was very taxing on his energy reserves, but it also created an extremely powerful attack that could insta-kill any being at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage. In his currently weakened state, there was no way the Ancient Fiendcelestial could defend himself against this attack.
Whoos.h.!.+
A green streak of light suddenly tore through the barrage of An Lin’s powers of the Heavenly G.o.ds.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial rose into the sky with the dark green bone spike held aloft as if he were a flying Statue of Liberty. His entire body was riddled with ghastly wounds, and his aura was extremely diminished. As opposed to saying this was the Ancient Fiendcelestial attacking An Lin with his bone spike, it was more accurate to say that the bone spike was towing the Ancient Fiendcelestial behind it.
“Interesting! These are the powers of the Heavenly Dao, but you’re human!” the male voice sounded from the bone spike once again, and it was tinged with excitement and hunger.
An Lin’s expression s.h.i.+fted slightly, and his heart sank.
This bone spike was clearly an extraordinary object. It had not seen the Heavenly G.o.ds before, but it was immediately able to gauge the nature of An Lin’s power upon witnessing him unleash his barrage of attacks.
The bone spike had appeared before An Lin almost in the blink of an eye.
An Lin focused his gaze and hurtled back in retreat as a barrier of paramount wind appeared before him.
“Break!” A burst of strange power that even An Lin was unable to comprehend erupted from the tip of the bone spike, allowing it to puncture his barrier of wind.
At this moment, An Lin was still hurtling back in retreat, and he used his Golden Void Lightning to create a barrier that would annihilate all things. The bone spike didn’t care, and it continued to pierce through the air!
However, the Ancient Fiendcelestial was suffering ma.s.sively as a result. The bone spike only knew how to attack, and all it wanted to do was to stab An Lin to death. As such, it streaked through the Golden Void Lightning without setting up any defensive measures, upon which the Ancient Fiendcelestial was charred black from the surrounding devastating lightning.
At this moment, a metallic barrier had appeared, but this was not just a purely defensive barrier.
The metallic barrier was also sliced in half by the bone spike.
Nothing could stop the bone spike!
However, the instant the metallic barrier was torn apart, it quickly converged back down the center like a guillotine toward the Ancient Fiendcelestial.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial was horrified upon seeing this, and he tried to defend himself, only to find that he could no longer control his body. “No!”
Crunch!
The metallic barrier came back together.
One half of the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s body was caught behind the metallic barrier while the other was in front of the metallic barrier. Thus, his body was cut cleanly in half, and his upper body was still being towed by the bone spike toward An Lin.
Blood gushed from the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s mouth as half of his body was sliced off, leaving him on the brink of death.
“Die! Die! Die! I’ll fulfill your wish right now and kill this human. I’ll then eat him!” The bone spike’s voice was filled with greed as it dragged the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s upper body like a dirty rag toward An Lin.
An Lin was astonished. The Ancient Fiendcelestial was already in such a dire state, but the bone spike could still keep attacking?
“Master Ancient Fiendcelestial!” the Heavenly Horse roared with grief and indignation.
“An Lin…” Xu Xiaolan’s heart leaped into her throat as she surveyed the situation on his battlefield.
Whoos.h.!.+
The bone spike tore through An Lin’s mountainous armor and didn’t really even decelerate.
Wind, lightning, metal, and mountain; all four barriers were torn apart by the bone spike, which was now heading straight for An Lin’s heart.
An unprecedented sense of impending doom welled up in An Lin’s heart. He knew that if he was struck by this attack, he would be dead even if he possessed a G.o.d of Creation Stage life force!
“It’s over.” The bone spike hurtled toward An Lin’s heart.
Right at this moment, an inky-black object appeared before it.
“Foolis.h.!.+ Nothing in this world can stop me!” The bone spike chuckled coldly before hurtling toward the inky-black object.
Crack crack crack…
A sharp screeching sound erupted.
The bone spike struck the inky-black object and was bent into the shape of a horseshoe, as if it was about to snap from the force of the collision.
“What… what is this thing?” The bone spike was completely incredulous.
It had finally been stopped.
And what had stopped it was an inky-black brick!
An immense force crashed into the brick, and it flew back through the air, taking An Lin along with it.
However, no matter how hard the bone spike tried, it was unable to puncture this mundane-looking brick.
“Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Nothing in this world can be of a higher caliber than I am!” The bone spike seemed to be unable to accept this situation.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial was also quite befuddled. The bone spike could even break through the Spirit Patriarch’s defenses, so why couldn’t it puncture this brick?
Furthermore, this was a brick without any energy fluctuations.
This was like someone picking up a random rock from the streets before using it to block an attack from a being that transcended beyond even the G.o.d of Creation Stage.
“Glug glug…” The bone spike began to frantically absorb the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s power again, thereby making it drastically more powerful, but it was still unable to do anything aside from forcing the brick back through the air!
“Ahhh… Stop absorbing my power…”
The Ancient Fiendcelestial had nothing left, and he wanted to terminate this spell technique and withdraw the bone spike.
However, the bone spike had other ideas and refused the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s demand. “This human cultivator must die!”
The bone spike skirted around and tried to attack An Lin from the side.
An Lin reacted extremely quickly and switched his brick over to that direction!
Block!
Bam!
Energy exploded violently.
The bone spike was contorted into the shape of a horseshoe again, but it was still unable to puncture the brick.
“Ahhhh!” The bone spike seemed to have gone insane and continued to change its angle of attack.
“Block block block…” An Lin continued to adjust the location of his brick to keep the bone spike at bay.
Even though the bone spike possessed a terrifying offensive power, it had no variety in its attacks, and An Lin was able to keep it at bay through the use of his brick and his lightning-fast reflexes.
Thus, the impa.s.se continued.
The bone spike had attacked over a hundred times in a short span of time, but it was still full of vigor and fighting spirit.
In contrast, the Ancient Fiendcelestial really was about to die.
“St… stop…” a hoa.r.s.e, beseeching voice sounded.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial only had half of his body left, and even that was severely atrophied as he pleaded with tears streaming down his face.
