Chapter 2305: Disregarded Enemy
Martial Reason, the Sword Maiden, and Jade all watched on in disbelief.
What"s going on?
Wasn"t Asura br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence and full of vigor just then?
Wasn"t he about to annihilate Liu Jin"s world?
Why did he suddenly die from a backlash?
Is the backlash from the Divine Mirror World that terrifying?
Everything had occurred far too quickly and far too suddenly, so much so that the three Heavenly Humans didn"t know what to do at this moment. Their minds became momentarily blank.
After spending so much effort and energy to capture and restrict their enemy, it was as if Asura had stabbed himself to death when trying to deliver the killing blow. The situation felt as fake as could be. It was as if the four of them were eagerly rus.h.i.+ng toward death…
"Did Lord Asura genuinely die just like that?" the Sword Maiden murmured.
"No, that"s impossible! Lord Asura is the strongest among the four of us, so how can he die just like that? That"s impossible!" Jade frantically shook her head in denial.
Right at this moment, however, another one of the Fifth Emperor"s wings started to self-combust.
The Heavenly Humans could detect this change, and their expressions involuntarily became even paler. This was a confirmation of Asura"s death. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, they couldn"t change this reality.
When Liu Jin had charged over to battle against the four of them, the Heavenly Humans had thought that this would be a one-sided beating. If they had fought against him properly, it would have indeed become a one-sided beating.
However, they had made an incredibly foolish decision.
As a consequence, they had sacrificed Asura, their most powerful member…
They had fought against Liu Jin four-on-one, yet they still ended up needlessly sacrificing one of their members. What in the world was this?
Tina was furiously pursuing the Fifth Emperor, yet her expression suddenly changed at this moment. Her speed instantly slowed down.
Upon noticing this, An Lin asked in curiosity, "Little Na, what"s wrong?"
"It"s nothing," Tina replied with a shake of her head. Her voice was calm, and she continued with a smile, "Someone tried to target my Divine Mirror World, but they were beaten back by me."
"Oh…" An Lin nodded in understanding. He then glanced at the Fifth Emperor"s burning wing, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, on some battlefield in the White Nectar Sea.
"We"re going to exact revenge for Lord Asura!" Jade, who was using her Threads of Heaven to restrict Liu Jin, said through gritted teeth.
"How are we going to exact revenge? Are we also going to attempt to destroy Liu Jin"s Heavenly Dao?" The Sword Maiden frowned upon recalling Asura"s wretched death.
"Of course not!" Jade replied. With a forceful tug, the extremely tough Threads of Heaven cut into Liu Jin"s flesh.
Upon hearing the man"s cries of pain, Jade unleashed her full power to clench her hands into fists, causing the Threads of Heaven to instantly slice Liu Jin into several pieces! Blood and flesh sprayed through the air. This scene was just as wretched and brutal as the scene of Asura"s death!
"Liu Jin"s origin Heavenly Dao has already been severely wounded, so we"ll have an opportunity to kill him if we deliver some fatal blows to his physical body!" Jade said solemnly.
The Sword Maiden nodded in understanding.
She brandished the azure sword in her hand, and the Great Heaven Origin Sword that had fused into Liu Jin"s body was fully unleashed, transforming into a crimson-gold sword intent that instantly pulverized his body into particles!
"Hiyah!" Martial Reason threw a punch at the sky, shattering the inky-red essential power that Liu Jin had released to show off.
Liu Jin"s aura started to vanish.
"Did we succeed?" the Sword Maiden asked as she glanced at the surroundings.
Meanwhile, Jade"s fingers continued to dance like winds and clouds as she stood in the sky. The pure white Threads of Heaven moved along with her fingers, fusing into heaven and earth and allowing her to easily observe the surroundings. She turned her gaze toward someplace in the void.
A speck of inky red essential power suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterward, this essential power started to rapidly grow and multiply like proliferating cells. A red ma.s.s of flesh appeared, and its aura then started to rapidly rise. After a short moment, the ma.s.s of flesh exploded, revealing the completely unscathed Liu Jin.
The Sword Maiden"s expression was ice-cold, and she said with a cold humph, "G.o.d of Creation Stage True Demons are truly difficult to deal with…"
Martial Reason was also frustrated by this sight. "This kind of resurrection ability is even more impressive than the Blood Tribe"s resurrection from a single drop of blood. Is he truly undying as long as the world isn"t obliterated?"
Jade clasped her hands together, and the threads among heaven and earth stealthily encircled Liu Jin. Her gaze was piercing, and she said softly, "Lord Asura has already formed a linkage between Liu Jin and his world. By killing him, we can severely wound his origin Heavenly Dao."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Humans all came to a sudden realization.
They turned toward Liu Jin, and they discovered that although he was unscathed, both his aura and his might had significantly fallen compared to before. It was evident that he had been severely wounded.
At this moment, the gazes of Jade, the Sword Maiden, and Martial Reason all became extremely terrifying. Their auras more so started to furiously spread outward like the tumultuous sea.
Liu Jin, who had wanted to taunt the Heavenly Humans after successfully killing Asura, suddenly sensed the enormous amount of Heavenly Power that was gathering toward him. This was a power that his fragile mind could barely withstand…
It was clear that the primordial Heavenly Humans wanted to use his blood to wash away their humiliation.
Liu Jin immediately abandoned his plan to taunt them. Instead, he looked up and shouted without hesitation, "Have you finished preparing? If you don"t help, I genuinely won"t be able to endure for much longer!"
"Thump!"
A deep thump traveled over from the sky.
This sound instantly shattered the tense atmosphere of the battlefield.
The three Heavenly Humans looked up, only to see a round rock in the sky.
This was a rock that had no presence and had been miraculously disregarded by them.
For some reason, the Heavenly Humans had naturally turned a blind eye to this colossal rock. They had treated it as a lifeless matter that had no presence. They had treated it as an unremarkable and ordinary rock.
However, when the Heavenly Humans finally paid attention to this rock…
It was already too late.
The unremarkable rock had already transformed its appearance and become a World Rock that contained the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies. The surface of the rock reflected the scenes of a world. There were mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, and a myriad of flouris.h.i.+ng tribes. These were captivating scenes, and it was as if they could drag one"s mind into this world.
As strong as their willpower was, the Sword Maiden, Jade, and Martial Reason were still fazed for a brief moment.
"This rock… seems a little different from before…" Martial Reason said dazedly.
"Have some confidence and remove the "seems"," the Sword Maiden said. Her expression was slightly grim. Only now had she finally noticed this enemy. What did this signify?
What had this enemy done during the long period of time just then?
Jade clasped her hands together, causing countless Threads of Heaven to suddenly encircle the colossal rock before viciously slas.h.i.+ng at it!
She was even more resolute than the Sword Maiden, and she had already launched an attack before the Sword Maiden and Martial Reason had even come to their senses!
However, the Threads of Heaven that were capable of shredding Liu Jin"s protective barrier of essential power screeched in struggle upon coming into contact with the colossal rock.
These threads were only able to leave faint marks on the surface of the World Rock.
At this moment, a power from an unknown source suddenly erupted from within the colossal rock, snapping all of the Threads of Heaven that were encircling it!
Boom…
There was a deafening explosion.
The colossal rock then started to plummet toward the three Heavenly Humans!
