Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The sun had already risen above the horizon.
The sky was bright, yet the wild celebrations in Yue Tong City had yet to conclude.
This time, their wild celebrations were going to last for three entire days and nights. After all, to powerful cultivators, a span of three days and three nights was but the blink of an eye. After experiencing an earthshattering battle of life and death, it was high time that they were able to release their feelings and ease their pent-up stress.
In fact, they had initially planned to party for a whopping forty-nine days.
However, An Lin had rejected this proposal.
If they partied for forty-nine days, that wouldn’t be releasing their feelings or easing their stress anymore. Instead, it would simply be an indulgence.
.
An Lin knew that there might be sudden changes and huge transformations in the near future.
The Heavenly Earth G.o.d had been killed, and several tens of millions of Heavenly Humans had most likely fallen under the control of the Heavenly Life G.o.ddess and Heavenly Heaven G.o.d. In the past, their att.i.tude toward the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng United Army had always been one of observation and indifference. They had simply watched the battle from afar.
Once the two forces decimated each other, they would then destroy the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng United Army and the opposing Heavenly G.o.ds in one fell swoop. Afterward, they would then exterminate all of the beings of the Tai Chu Continent, thereby allowing them to invite the arrival of a new dawn.
Their plan had been impeccable.
Now, however, the balance of power between the two forces had already been upset.
The Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng United Army was overly powerful compared to the forces led by the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess. Thus, it was very likely that they would move to even up their power. In fact, strictly speaking, they had already made a move. Hadn’t those Heavenly Human soldiers and Heavenly G.o.ds been deployed by them?
However, in the following battles, it was possible that they might even partic.i.p.ate themselves.
At that time, it would definitely become an unimaginably intense and dangerous battle.
An Lin was very sensitive to danger. He could sense that all of the Supreme Heavenly G.o.ds were targeting him. At the very least, both the forces of the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess and Heavenly Life G.o.ddess had prioritized killing him during the previous battle.
However, now that they were aware of his abilities, they most likely wouldn’t make any rash moves in the short-term. They would definitely formulate a sound strategy first. In any case, An Lin yearned for them to plan for a little longer. After all, he also needed time to recover his energy.
As for killing him?
Heh, if they wanted to kill him, they would need to prepare to exchange their life for his!
Not taking into account other matters, An Lin was very confident in his own abilities.
Although he had become a slacker who didn’t know how to cultivate, he was still an incredibly powerful being even if he couldn’t grow any stronger. If they wanted to kill him, they would need to gamble using their lives!
As he was thinking this, an unexpected transformation suddenly took place!
The sun had just risen, yet its spreading radiance was suddenly engulfed by darkness.
The celebrating soldiers were all baffled.
The numerous defensive spell formations of Yue Tong City were currently activated, and there were also many powerful beings standing guard. Yet, the Heavenly G.o.ds still dared to attack at this time?!
“Hurry, get everyone into formation!”
“Prepare to battle!”
“It’s extremely likely that we’re being attacked by enemies!”
The soldiers of Yue Tong City were all frightened into action.
Some used their power to operate the spell formations, some flew into the sky or sprinted across the land, and some released their divine sense to scout the enemies.
Meanwhile, An Lin was feeling slightly puzzled as he stood up. There were indeed people nearing them.
However, he couldn’t detect any hostility from them. In fact, it was because of this lack of hostility that the spell formations of Yue Tong City hadn’t responded.
Most importantly, he could feel a sense of familiarity from within this overwhelming darkness.
“Don’t attack yet,” An Lin suddenly said.
His command reverberated throughout the entire Yue Tong City.
It had to be said that An Lin’s words carried a lot of weight in the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng United Army.
With just a single command, he stopped countless powerful beings from acting on their urge to attack.
At this moment, a gigantic continent suddenly appeared in the sky above Yue Tong City.
This was a pitch-black and vast continent, and it almost covered the entirety of the colossal Yue Tong City. The underside of this continent was circulating with an extremely dense power of darkness, and it seemed to be this power that was providing the continent with the ability to move.
The surface of this continent was covered in dark and undulating mountains, as well as countless exquisite and gray-colored castles. In the center of this continent, there lay a sprawling castle that looked much like a gigantic black beast. There were a dozen or so divine light symbols hovering in the void and surrounding this city, each of them radiating with a paramount might.
Numerous humanoid creatures spread their black wings as they flew out from the castle and toward An Lin. Among them, there were some beings who possessed incredibly powerful auras.
“It’s the Dark Wing Tribe!”
“Heavens! I thought the mobile castle of the Dark Wing Tribe can only appear in the pitch-black darkness of the night? Perhaps they can transform day into night and then wantonly appear whenever they want? This is cheating!”
“Wasn’t the Dark Wing Tribe beaten into recluse by the Heavenly Human Tribe? Why are they suddenly appearing now?”
“There are so many powerful beings from the Tai Chu Continent gathered here… Are they coming here to seek death?”
The powerful beings of Yue Tong City were all engaged in spirited discussions. Although they were stunned by the sight of the Dark Wing Tribe’s mobile castle, they weren’t feeling especially worried. After all, they had witnessed far too many earthshattering scenes.
Right at this moment, the Dark Wing Emperor along with several dozen Return to Void Stage powerful beings of the Dark Wing Tribe flew toward An Lin. This force which had suddenly converged before them was powerful enough to threaten the majority of beings in Yue Tong City.
An Lin was slightly astonished.
His entangling destiny with the Dark Wing Tribe was quite deep-rooted.
While on Earth, the Dark Night Monarch had pushed him into sacrificing his life force for the first time. In the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, he had fought against the Moonlit Night Monarch for the Evil-Slaying Sword. The Dark Wing Tribe was a formidable force that had hidden in the shadows for most of this time. Most beings had never witnessed their true appearance.
An Lin hadn’t sought this force out, yet much to his surprise, this force was instead seeking him out.
Why? Aren’t they afraid that I’ll destroy their home with a single swing of my sword?
An Lin was feeling extremely puzzled.
With his current power, he wasn’t afraid of the Dark Wing Tribe at all.
There were two Dao Integration Stage supreme beings, sixty-one Return to Void Stage powerful beings, and several million other Dark Wing cultivators. If this were the past, An Lin would definitely feel utter despair.
Now, however, he was extremely composed and calm.
Meaningful smiles appeared on the faces of the cultivators who had heard about An Lin’s skirmishes with the Dark Wing Tribe. It was as if they were waiting for an entertaining show to play out.
The Dark Wing Emperor was an old-generation Dao Integration Stage supreme being.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Night Monarch was a newly advanced Dao Integration Stage supreme being who had only just stabilized her cultivation base.
Casting one’s gaze over the entire Tai Chu Continent, these two supreme beings could be regarded as top-notch cultivators.
However, these two powerful leaders, along with their powerful subordinates, all wore expressions of respect when they saw An Lin.
“Mr. An Lin.”
“Senior An Lin.”
The powerful beings of the Dark Wing Tribe all lowered their heads as they landed before An Lin.
Meanwhile, the Dark Wing Emperor wore an expression of guilt and unease as he said, “Please accept our apologies. We feel utter remorse and shame for the wrongdoings that we committed in the past…”
An Lin was dumbfounded upon hearing this, and he asked in astonishment, “You traveled hundreds of millions of miles and brought your entire headquarters here simply to apologize?”
“No…” the Dark Wing Emperor replied with a shake of his head. He then looked at An Lin, a look of fervor and reverence on his face. “We came here to surrender to you.”
“What?” An Lin’s eyes widened in surprise.
A swoos.h.i.+ng sound suddenly traveled over.
To his surprise, the millions of Dark Wing Tribe members all fell down to one knee before him.
At this moment, their voices also soared through the heavens.
“The Dark Wing Tribe…
“Greets their Heavenly Master!”
“Greetings to Heavenly Master!”
