Chapter 726: The Three Minutes Between Life and Death (Second Part)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The high-rank spirit tool, North Star Sword, shattered into fragments of light.
A five-hundred-thousand-spirit-stone tyc.o.o.n attack was activated at this moment.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoos.h.!.+
A series of dazzling stars appeared in the air, creating a starry sky formation above the demonic baby as a white pillar of light fell from the sky, shaking the very heavens with its outrageous might.
The stars fell from the sky, and they went cras.h.i.+ng down toward the demonic baby as it let loose cries of anguish.
Dong Guo stared blankly at the indescribably fearsome spell techniques An Lin was unleas.h.i.+ng, and he felt as if he would never be able to close his gaping mouth again.
Especially when all those extremely valuable spirit tools shattered before his very eyes; he felt like his entire outlook on cultivating had been completely transformed.
What a monstrous sword-shattering technique!
One had to realize that among the spirit swords that had just been shattered, three of them were comparable to his sword, the Green Dawn Spirit Sword. But they were shattered just like that! What could he even say?
What a heartless tyc.o.o.n!
But how many spirit swords did An Lin had left to shatter? What if he ran out of swords? Would he…
With this in mind, Dong Guo’s body suddenly trembled as he gripped tightly onto his storage ring while wondering if he should hide it. After all, he had a few spirit tools within his storage ring too…
Just how powerful was a million-spirit-stone tyc.o.o.n attack?
Nine immortal locks, falling stars, and devastating wind and lightning.
The demonic baby unleashed a power that was close to the power of the divine dao, but it was still temporarily immobilized by the sealing spell technique as falling stars crashed into its body, making its skin crack open and cave in.
“Baaah!”
The demonic baby suddenly let loose a strange cry.
Boom!
Extremely formidable might emanated from its body and An Lin’s breathing faltered momentarily as a result.
The demonic baby’s muscles suddenly expanded as green energy enshrouded its entire body. Its head of green hair also stood up like a head full of green porcupine spines, and it became a bodybuilder baby!
The demonic baby swept its black spear through the air in a semi-circle trajectory as a series of miniature skulls created a black ripple imbued with a devastating destructive force that proliferated outward before instantly destroying the nine black dragons.
An Lin’s expression s.h.i.+fted drastically as he pulled out another high-rank spirit sword.
The North Star Formation was still in operation as the demonic baby stabbed its black spear directly into the sky above.
Boom!
s.p.a.ce collapsed as a black hole materialized while completely vanquis.h.i.+ng the North Star Formation.
There were thirty seconds left!
An Lin held his sword before him in preparation for another sword burial.
However, right at this moment, a black spear had already crashed into the high-rank spirit sword.
Crack… bam!
The high-rank spirit sword did shatter, but it had been shattered by the black spear.
A black halo revolved around the tip of the black spear, signifying death and annihilation.
It flashed through the air in an unimaginable trajectory before stabbing straight toward An Lin.
This strike was imbued with the demonic baby’s full power, and it seemed to be able to puncture even the great dao of heaven and earth.
Even though An Lin had his Divine Inspection Technique and Wings of Wind, he was still unable to evade the attack as his body of the War G.o.d was punctured again, leaving a ghastly hole in his chest.
The agony of being torn apart spread throughout An Lin’s entire body as he threw up a mouthful of blood.
Gundam Three charged toward the demonic baby as a purple halo radiated outward, signifying the activation of its gravitational manipulation. At the same time, the particle sword extended to over a thousand feet in length before flas.h.i.+ng through the air, leaving a dazzling blue trajectory in its wake.
The demonic baby’s bones creaked under the force of the gravity field, but its movements were still astonis.h.i.+ngly fast.
It pulled out the spear from An Lin’s body, which was used to parry Gundam Three’s attack, and at the same time, a white halo imbued with holy aura surfaced around its left fist. The projection of an archangel appeared behind the demonic baby, and it recited a holy mantra as the strength in its fists soared explosively once again!
Boom!
The demonic baby launched a punch toward Gundam Three, and heaven and earth completely dimmed as the holy light radiating from its fist became the only light in this world.
The s.p.a.ce within a radius of several hundred meters twisted and cracked open as Gundam Three’s alloy sh.e.l.l caved in and fractured while sending countless sparks flying through the air. Its body fell like a shooting star before cras.h.i.+ng into a wall, where it left a ma.s.sive indentation in the metallic material.
Buzz buzz buzz… Crackle crackle…
Gundam Three’s body spasmed uncontrollably as sparks flew through the air. It was clearly completely out of commission.
There were twenty seconds left!
An Lin had already taken this opportunity to retreat over a hundred meters away before unleas.h.i.+ng another sword burial!
High-rank spirit sword, Demon Slaying Spirit Sword!
The spirit sword, which had already been shattered by the demonic baby, instantly exploded into specks of golden light.
That’s right, even though the sword had been broken, its spirit had still yet to fade. As long as its essence remained, it was still able to be used in a sword burial. This was like slicing one portion of petrol into two; this would essentially accomplish nothing as it could still burn like normal.
This was an even higher quality high-rank spirit sword that Lin Junjun had evaluated at five hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones!
The demonic baby had only just knocked Gundam Three flying when the entire s.p.a.ce was colored gold.
The sound of Buddhist mantras erupted as countless golden Buddhist symbols engulfed the demonic baby, all of which were imbued with extremely powerful sealing force. The power of purification caused the demonic baby’s body to falter as the black spear in its hand screeched and hissed.
The green flames on the demonic baby’s body roared to keep all the golden symbols at bay.
It turned to An Lin, upon which it saw a ma.s.sive golden fist cras.h.i.+ng down upon him with seemingly enough force to flatten the heavens.
Boom!
The demonic baby’s body was squashed into a pancake by the overwhelming power behind the fist as a large mouthful of white blood gushed from its mouth. Its body flew back several hundred meters like a cannonball, where it was embedded into a huge indentation on the wall.
Hmm, what a nostalgic scene.
An Lin had avenged Gundam Three.
There were still ten seconds left.
An Lin was panting heavily. Even though the Sword Burial technique wasn’t a taxing technique, using it six times in rapid succession still placed quite a strain on his body. On top of that, he had two gaping holes on his body, and he needed to activate the Origin Energy of the Netherworld each time he used the Sword Burial technique. This was already taking him beyond his limits, and his body was severely exhausted.
He rummaged through his storage ring again, only to find that there were no more high-rank spirit swords left… There were, however, a bunch of other spirit tools…
An Lin: “…”
Holy sh*t! Why did this have to happen at such a critical juncture?!
If he had known that this would happen, he would’ve gone and purchased a bunch of spirit swords from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion of the Heavenly Court!
He turned his eyes upon the intermediate-rank spirit swords to find that there were still a few of them left.
Screw it. Even if it resulted in less power output, he would have to get by with them!
However, before he even had a chance to pull out another spirit sword, an indescribably powerful force suddenly rammed into his body.
The demonic baby had launched a punch at An Lin from afar, and the force behind its fist pierced through the air before directly impacting his body. He felt as if all his internal organs had been split open as a large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed forth from his mouth.
An Lin had only just tumbled to the ground when a huge baby with white blood still flowing from its mouth appeared right before him with a sinister smile on its face.
An Lin had zero reaction time against hack abilities like spatial flickering.
The black spear was ready to plunge down, and An Lin’s brain operated at an extreme speed during this crucial split second of life and death.
What could he use? What could he use to defend himself against the demonic baby?
The Vermilion Bird Mirror wouldn’t do. It could only reflect energy attacks, and this was a purely physical attack.
The Chaotic Alloy Brick wouldn’t do either. He would be squashed to death by it…
The black spear was already falling!
An Lin’s eyes widened in a glare as invisible ripples instantly proliferated outward.
Make You Cry!
Bam!
The demonic baby’s green eyes suddenly exploded. Fake eyes couldn’t shed tears, so they could only explode.
Tears of blood began running down its cheeks.
The demonic baby wailed in anguish as it stabbed its black spear down blindly. An Lin took advantage of this opportunity to dodge to the side, barely evading this lethal strike in the process.
It was also at this moment that An Lin pulled out an inky-black box.
This was the powerful artifact he had received from Lin Junjun, the Thousand Possibility Box!
After charging it for so long, it was finally at fifty percent battery power!
“Thousand Possibility Box, kill this demonic baby!”
With the black hole facing the demonic baby, An Lin roared as he poured forth all his energy into the Thousand Possibility Box.
Boom!
The projection of a divine maiden appeared in the air with holy light enshrouding her entire body.
She was so flawless and so powerful.
The divine maiden extended a beautiful hand before viciously striking the demonic baby!
Slap!
An ear-splitting slap erupted!
An Lin stared at the scenes unfolding before him with shock on his face.
The demonic baby’s body swayed upon being slapped out of the blue, and a searing pain shot through its cheek.
The divine maiden glowered at the demonic baby with a stern expression that was tinged with profound disappointment before slowly dissipating…
The battery power of the Thousand Possibility Box fell from fifty percent to forty-nine percent.
This slap of benevolence made everyone fall deathly silent.
An Lin and the demonic baby were both rooted to the spot as they stared blankly at one another.
