Chapter 1443: Thousand-Year Sword
An Lin’s self-detonation gave countless snow maidens a massive fright.
The Great Empress reacted the quickest and instantly flashed toward An Lin before sealing his wound with an ice spell technique and cradling him in her arms.
“An Lin! Are you alright? What happened?” the Great Empress asked in an urgent, concerned voice.
An Lin struggled against his heavy eyelids. Even though his body of the War God had kept him from fainting, he no longer had any combat ability left.
“I’m alright… I won’t die at least. This is just an after-effect of using that spell technique…”
He spoke in a feeble voice while cursing his system at the same time.
He was finally able to use the Finger of the Heavenly Dao, but he also self-detonated again! How was he supposed to use this technique ever again with such a terrifying after-effect?
The first time, he was extremely fortunate to have been saved by Chang’e.
This time, he only managed to survive due to his divine body.
Just as An Lin was grumbling internally, the Great Empress pulled out her only regenerative immortal pill from her storage ring and fed it to An Lin.
A burst of cool and refreshing energy began to spread through his entire body, quickly healing all of his injuries.
This immortal pill was most likely quite a high-rank one, and his injuries were healing at an extremely fast rate with the combined effects of the immortal pill and his Evergreen Technique.
An Lin was suddenly struck by a sense of comfort. Only now did he realize that he was being gently cradled by the Great Empress, and her soft, voluptuous chest was mashed up against his back…
The Great Empress descended to the ground with An Lin in her arms.
This was such a surreal, dreamy moment. He felt as if he had come straight from infernal hell to the most blissful heaven on earth.
The Celestial Thearch, Meng Zhi, and Shangguan Yi quickly made their way over to him to assess his condition.
“Mr. An Lin!”
“An Lin, are you alright?”
“My God, why did you suddenly explode?”
Everyone asked with concerned expressions.
An Lin didn’t want to say anything. All he wanted to do was lie silently in the Great Empress’ arms.
“Mr. An Lin, I recall that you have a coffin. Lie down in that coffin to recover from your injuries,” the Celestial Thearch said with a concerned expression.
An Lin rolled his eyes and pulled out his coffin from his storage ring.
He took the lid off his coffin and was just about to lie down.
All of a sudden, he caught a glimpse of a golden light shimmering in the distance.
His pupils contracted drastically, and even his heart skipped a beat as a nightmarish voice sounded again.
“Wheel of time.”
The sound of a wheel turning erupted.
Specks of light converged.
Time flowed like an unceasing river.
A unique aura proliferated throughout heaven and earth.
Everyone stared at the place where the specks of light converged, and all of them were so nervous that they were unconsciously holding their breaths.
For some reason, a terrifying thought suddenly welled up in their hearts.
The specks of light continued to converge, forming a tall and slender figure, a set of flawlessly intricate features, flowing long hair like a golden waterfall, and a divine halo that was exuding a paramount aura…
The Heavenly Time God had reappeared!
Their worst fear had been realized.
Almost everyone had forgotten how to breathe upon seeing this!
An Lin had descended into complete despair. His accumulated trauma was making his body ache again.
Even the Finger of the Heavenly Dao couldn’t kill her, what could he possibly do?
In this current condition, he could barely unleash the simplest of spell techniques, let alone another Finger of the Heavenly Dao. All he could do was await his death!
The Heavenly Time God appeared before everyone again, and she stared at An Lin intently with her golden eyes with a hint of caution intermingled with irrepressible fury.
Crack…
A crisp crack suddenly sounded.
Her divine halo cracked again…
There were two more cracks that had appeared, which made a total of three cracks on her divine halo.
An Lin didn’t know what effect the three cracks on the divine halo would have on the Heavenly Time God, but he knew that it was going to have an extremely huge adverse effect on him…
“My halo, why did you crack again?” The Heavenly Time God gently caressed her divine halo with trembling hands as well as a grief-stricken expression on her face.
“All of you must die! This is unforgivable! I’m going to torture you for millions of years!” the golden snow maiden roared, and a scintillating light erupted from her divine halo as she gripped the air with her hand.
A golden pillar of light connected heaven and earth before converging in her hand.
The Heavenly Time God held onto the pillar of light while exuding an aura of eternal resilience, as if she were holding a pillar supporting the heavens.
“Thousand-Year Sword!”
The golden snow maiden launched the golden pillar of light forward, and it came tumbling down with an unstoppable force.
“I’m going to trap you within my time for all of eternity. You’d be tortured and refined so that you can ease my pain of having my halo cracked!”
The pillar of light continued to fall with an irrepressible force.
The Celestial Thearch and all of the snow maidens were all struck by a sense of unavoidability and inevitability at the sight of the pillar of light falling from the sky.
“Are we going to die here?” Meng Zhi murmured to herself.
An Lin was in complete despair. “No, we won’t die. She said that she was going to trap us in her time to be tortured and refined for all of eternity.”
An Lin didn’t doubt the authenticity of the Heavenly Time God’s words in the slightest. She had announced that she was going to inflict thirty thousand sets of one hundred sword wounds upon An Lin, and she really did deliver on her promise…
Boom!
The pillar of light fell and engulfed An Lin, the Celestial Thearch, as well as millions of snow maidens within.
After the light dissipated, the Heavenly Time God was the only person left standing in the air.
There were no more living beings left on the ground below.
The Heavenly Time God wore a demented smile on her face while feeling a sense of immense satisfaction from avenging her halo. “Finally… I can finally make all of you experience the most terrifying pain in this world…
“My Thousand-Year Sword is imbued with the boundless power of time, forming a loop which will repeat for the rest of eternity!
“Now then, let’s begin the first loop!”
The Heavenly Time God’s consciousness was projected into her sea of time.
There was only silence and darkness there.
A soft voice suddenly sounded.
“An Lin… An Lin…”
An Lin forced himself to open his heavy eyelids, upon which he was greeted by the sight of an exquisitely beautiful woman in a jade dress appraising him with concern etched on her features.
“You’re finally awake! Are you feeling better?” An extremely enticing smile appeared on her face.
“Xiaolan!” An Lin immediately sprang up and locked her in a tight hug.
“Settle down! You’re still injured, and you need to rest.” Xu Xiaolan struggled a little.
An Lin really was feeling quite feeble, so he lay back down as a confused expression appeared on his face. “Wh… why am I here? How did I come back?”
Wasn’t he battling the Heavenly Time God? Why had he suddenly woken up in Xu Xiaolan’s room? He felt like everything around him was too realistic to be a dream.
“The Celestial Thearch saved you.”
Xu Xiaolan brought over a bowl of medicine to him with a smile. “An Lin, it’s time for you to take your medicine.”
