Chapter 2388: Sacrifice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Amid the silence.
A single voice reverberated throughout the entire world.
At this moment, An Lin’s heart stopped beating.
It was as if everything had stopped and become silent.
A profound and pitch-black divine seal appeared on An Lin’s forehead.
This divine seal was composed of five dark strokes, and it was radiating with a paramount aura that was eternal and yearned to rule over all matter.
An Lin’s aura underwent a drastic change, and he no longer appeared as domineering and unruly as before. He no longer appeared like a supreme ruler who ruled over all darkness. At this moment, he appeared more like a being who was transcendent above this world. He didn’t seem to pose any threat, and his eyes were so pitch-black and profound that no one could read his thoughts.
Strands of silk-like darkness started to emanate from his body. These strands of darkness were beautiful, and they were like blooming flowers made from black silken fabric as they drifted into the surroundings.
As these black flowers collided into the cage of light that was constructed from Grand Primordium Light, the cage started to contort before being rapidly engulfed!
In almost an instant, the astonis.h.i.+ngly st.u.r.dy cage of light was completely engulfed by the black flowers.
An Lin stood amid the black flowers, and he calmly pulled the Evil-Slaying Sword from his heart as he turned his gaze toward the slightly dumbfounded woman in black.
“Why? I already decided to spare you and your Dao partner, so why did you still make this choice? You clearly didn’t need to die…” the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess said. There was puzzlement on her face.
An Lin swung his sword through the air, with a circular sword intent instantly bursting tens of thousands of kilometers into the surroundings and shattering the cage of light that was holding Xu Xiaolan and Tina.
“You underestimated the place that my friends and my family have in my heart.”
An Lin’s eyes were pitch-black and profound as he gazed at the haughty woman, and he continued in a calm voice, “Heavenly Light G.o.ddess, you’ve forced me to do this. There’s no turning back now. Today is the day of your death!”
An Lin strode toward the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess, with each of his steps transforming the s.p.a.ce beneath him into an expanse of pitch-black void. These were expanses of absolute nothingness, and it was as if some divine being had simply erased these regions from the world.
His white robe was like snow, and his black sword was like ink.
Under the watchful gaze of millions upon billions of beings, this man resolutely strode toward the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ expression changed drastically, and the light surrounding her instantly erupted with a brilliant radiance. The sword projections in the sky shuddered, and they yearned to instantly deliver ultimate judgment to the billions upon trillions of humans.
At this moment, however, the pitch-black and slender Evil-Slaying Sword had already pierced through the void. Like a bolt and earth-shattering lightning, the Evil-Slaying Sword then stabbed into the blood-formed divine seal that lay before the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess!
A wave of darkness exploded apart.
At this moment, it was as if heaven and earth had lost their l.u.s.ter.
When light finally reappeared, the divine seal that had once lay before the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess had already vanished into nothingness. In fact, the Evil-Slaying Sword had even left a gaping and pitch-black wound in her flawless body.
“You still want to split your attention and kill the other humans while facing me?” An Lin asked in a calm voice as he held his Evil-Slaying Sword and gazed at the nearby Heavenly Light G.o.ddess.
Everyone was stunned upon seeing this. This battle was undergoing far too many ebbs and flows. Just then, the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess had still enjoyed an insurmountable advantage, and she had been viewing everyone else as nothing but mere ants. Now, however, An Lin had severely wounded her with a single strike?
“Perhaps stabbing one’s own heart can make them stronger?” a member of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect murmured.
Everything had changed after An Lin’s suicidal action.
Thinking back to the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ invincible power, she had also gained this after stabbing her own heart… Linking all of these coincidences together, it was no wonder that this person made such a strange remark.
However, even more people were considering the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ remark of, “you clearly didn’t need to die”. They didn’t want to die either, yet An Lin had to sacrifice his own life to save them…
They were overcome with a feeling of indescribable grief.
As she gazed at that man’s back, Xu Xiaolan’s heart ached so much that she could barely breathe. Many a time, she wanted to rush toward him with no regard for anything else. However, she was afraid that she would affect his battle, so she forcefully stopped herself in her tracks. All she could do was silently gaze at him. All she could do was silently endure this unthinkable pain.
“Sigh… An Lin still walked down this path…” Daolord Lu Ya said with a helpless shake of his head.
“Is this fate? Is this the fate that he already foresaw?” the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue said with a soft sigh. It was as if he were feeling sorrow and sympathy for something.
An astounding radiance suddenly exploded apart.
An Lin was forced into retreat by this exploding light as a searing sensation swept over his body.
“With our combat capability, we certainly can’t battle here,” An Lin said as he gazed at his surroundings. He knew that if he battled against the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess here, the shockwaves of their battle would definitely crush the nearby Kingdom of the Nine States and perhaps even the entire Tai Chu Continent.
With this in mind, he slashed his sword at the sky.
“Open the heavens!”
Boom!
A burst of sword intent soared into the sky, completely engulfing all of the surrounding Grand Primordium Light.
There was a deafening explosion.
A black void started to materialize in the sky, and one could see countless stars twinkling within it.
Daolord Lu Ya’s eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed, “This… is the external Realm of Stars! He actually shattered the Tai Chu Barrier made by Pangu with a single strike?”
An Lin turned his gaze toward the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess, and he said, “Let us battle outside.”
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess wore a solemn expression. Did she want to battle outside? She naturally didn’t. In fact, she would love to cause chaos here and destroy the entire human race while she was at it.
As if reading her mind, An Lin stepped forward and approached the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess again. A petrifying dark hurricane was swirling around his Evil-Slaying Sword.
Roar!
An Lin unleashed this devastating hurricane, which quickly enveloped the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess from head to toe. All of the surrounding Grand Primordium Light was ripped into shreds.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess formed a seal with her hands, and it was as if her body had become anch.o.r.ed to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Her light became indestructible, and it became unwavering in the sky.
“Unmoving Deity!”
The dark hurricane slammed into the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess, yet it was unable to move her by even an inch.
However, before the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess could do anything else, An Lin had already appeared at the location of the dark hurricane. That was, he had already appeared beneath her.
There was a black whirlpool in his hands, and looking closely, it was as if one could see countless galaxies growing and dying inside this whirlpool. It was as if countless dimensions were being destroyed by the whirlpool.
“Darkness, Myriad Dimension Explosion!”
A paramount pus.h.i.+ng force erupted from the black whirlpool in An Lin’s hand, disregarding all matter, all energy, all nomological laws, and even the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as it contorted all matter in the surroundings. In fact, even the surrounding light was contorted and pushed aside.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ Unmoving Deity was unable to overcome this power. It had come far too suddenly, and it had come with far too much force. Her feet were struck by An Lin, and the magnificent power of darkness tore apart all of her defenses. Like a rock, her slender and flawless body was tossed away by the Myriad Dimension Explosion. She was tossed out of the Tai Chu Continent…
“Humph, since you refused, I had no option but to toss you out,” An Lin said with a cold humph. With a flash, he quickly followed behind the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess, flying out of the Tai Chu Continent. In his wake were billions upon billions of astounded beings.
Right now, An Lin appeared as domineering and impressive as one could be. Meanwhile, all of the despairing humans felt delighted upon seeing the suffering of the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess.
Everyone gazed at the white figure that was disappearing into the black void. His figure was towering, and his actions were resolute. He carried the hope of the entire Tai Chu Continent, and he was sacrificing himself to complete this final battle!
This was the magnificent demeanor of the number one Battle G.o.d of the Tai Chu Continent.
This was a sight that would be forever engraved in their minds. Everyone looked up, praying, hoping that their number one Battle G.o.d would return victorious!
