Chapter 2042 - Commencement of the Final Battle
Chapter 2042: Commencement of the Final Battle
An earth-shattering battle ensued.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect up against the Snow Ghouls.
Xuanyuan Cheng was still bidding a final farewell to his father.
Never did he think that his almighty father would fall one day. Now that the unthinkable had actually eventuated, he couldn’t do anything aside from wallow in grief.
“Little Cheng, your bombs were awesome…”
“I tried to dissuade you from researching bombs in the past, but I now know that I was wrong…”
“Persevere with your dao…”
Xuanyuan Lun caressed Xuanyuan Cheng’s face as he said with difficulty.
Xuanyuan Cheng nodded over and over again with tears flowing from his eyes. “Father, I’ll take you back to the battleship right now. Bai Ling knows everything; she’ll be able to save you!”
Xuanyuan Lun shook his head with a wry smile upon hearing this. “There’s no need for that… I know my own body. My life force has been frozen and torn apart… The only reason I can still talk to you now… is because I cultivated in the dao of Myriad Spirit Taichi, thus allowing me to forcefully retain a wisp of my consciousness… But that will soon fade as well…”
Xuanyuan Cheng gritted his teeth tightly. He cultivated in the same dao, so he was naturally also aware of this, but he really didn’t want to give up like this.
“Go, my son… Fight with your friends… Fight for the human race…” Xuanyuan Lun looked at Xuanyuan Cheng with a smile. He wanted to raise a hand to caress his son’s handsome face, only to find that his limbs had completely stiffened and were immobile.
“Father…” Xuanyuan Cheng wailed with grief.
“My son…” Xuanyuan Lun was also very reluctant to leave him.
Whoosh!
A small red flower suddenly popped up from Xuanyuan Lun’s heart.
“Father!” Xuanyuan Cheng was given a fright.
“Ah… Is this what death feels like? It’s so warm…” Xuanyuan Lun’s eyes glazed over slightly.
“What’s all this talk about death? I feel like you can still be saved; why are you giving up?”
A sweet voice traveled into Xuanyuan Lun’s ear.
Xuanyuan Lun was struck by the feeling that something was amiss.
He looked at Xuanyuan Cheng, then at the flower growing from his heart, and his mouth gaped open in shock. “I… I can feel my vitality returning to me!”
Xuanyuan Cheng was ecstatic to hear this, and his voice trembled with excitement. “Xiao Hong! Can you save my father?!”
“Of course. I can dispel both the power of light and the power of ice within his body. I can also use my power of light to forcefully gather the vitality that dissipated not long ago. However, I can’t leave Xuanyuan Lun’s side in the process, and I won’t be able to battle either, so take me and him back to the Starfire Battleship,” Xiao Hong replied.
“Of course!” Xuanyuan Cheng heaved a long sigh of relief before picking up Xuanyuan Lun in his arms and rushing toward the Starfire Battleship.
Xuanyuan Lun was struck by the feeling that he was dreaming. He was well aware of the condition that he was in, and he had a thorough understanding of the essence of life. He had thought that he was going to die for sure, but this flower from the Four Nine Immortal Sect was telling him that he could be saved?
What an emotional rollercoaster…
The Four Nine Immortal Sect was a place where miracles were created.
This notion had circulated in the Tai Chu Continent for a long time, and Xuanyuan Lun was finally experiencing it for himself.
The battle between the Four Nine Immortal Sect and the Snow Ghouls had already erupted.
Xiao Tu and Xiao Ze were battling one golden Snow Ghoul, the Great Empress of the snow maidens and Shangguan Yi were fighting another, and the Demonic Blood Kirin and the phoenix Little Huang were taking care of the final golden Snow Ghoul. However, all of them had been forced onto the back foot!
This was no surprise as all of their opponents were Heavenly Gods who wielded heavenly power. They weren’t the Ancient Dragon Empress, so they were naturally unable to combat such fearsome enemies.
At this moment, powerful Snow Ghouls began to rush in through the massive blue holes.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect and Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect joined forces to offer spirited resistance. This was bound to be an arduous battle!
In the southern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Qiu Ye City had just been ravaged by a fierce battle.
All of a sudden, lightning began to fall from the sky.
Boom boom boom…
The area of lightning strikes encompassed several thousand kilometers and was slowly progressing further into the Kingdom of the Nine States.
The inhabitants of the city began to scramble and flee in panic. Those who didn’t escape in time were blasted into ashes along with their houses. The cultivators in the city were unable to do anything either. They couldn’t tell where the lightning was coming from, as it seemed to be originating from the deepest point within the heavens. The bolts of lightning fell with devastating power, and no one could keep them at bay. All they could do was run for their lives…
At Yue Tong City.
A massive army was approaching.
This was the first time the Heavenly Human Tribe had taken the initiative to launch an attack since An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s arrival. The number of troops being thrown at them was unprecedentedly high with over two hundred million Heavenly Humans invading the city!
Looking out across the horizon, both heaven and earth were filled with dense hordes of winged Heavenly Humans. They surged forth like massive white waves, creating an extremely formidable sight.
An Lin stood on the city wall and listened to one emergency report after another being delivered via voice transmission talisman. An army of seventy million had descended upon the Immortal Land Above Water while tsunami waves hundreds of thousands of feet in height swept through the ocean. Terrifying earthquakes ravaged the central region of the Tai Chu Continent, resulting in hundreds of millions of casualties. Mysterious divine lightning was falling from the sky in the southern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States, sweeping through everything in their path. Snow Ghouls had appeared in massive hordes in the northern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States, and the Dark Wind Imperial Family had been destroyed while the Four Nine Immortal Sect rushed to the aid of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect. In the eastern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States, an army of over a hundred million Heavenly Humans had emerged…
An Lin sighed with emotion as he listened to all of these reports. The final battle had well and truly begun.
He had been eagerly anticipating the commencement of this final battle, but he was feeling extremely nervous now that it had actually begun. Regardless of what happened, he would have to face the paramount Heavenly Gods in direct battle…
The Ancient Dragon Empress had already returned to the Land of Eternal Light, and all of the Divine Source Pavilion members had graduated. They all possessed extremely powerful heaven crushing true intent and were determined to make an impact on the war. However, these immortals from the Divine Source Continent were still petrified by the sight of the oncoming army.
The number of enemies they had to face was absolutely absurd!
They had thought that they would be facing tens of millions of Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings as a worst-case scenario, but now, they were being confronted by two hundred million! The Divine Source Pavilion gathered all of the most powerful beings on the entire Divine Source Continent, but they were feeling extremely fearful and powerless.
Not only were all of the Divine Source Continent mighty figures astonished, even the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army was very perturbed.
Even though they had secured many victories and morale was very high, they were still terrified by the notion that they had to face off against the true power of the Heavenly Human Tribe. Only now did they realize just how daunting a task this was!
As for the paramount Heavenly Gods, they were all furious that their plans had been foiled. However, the cause for their rage was that their chances of victory had fallen from ninety-nine percent to ninety percent. Hence, they were still very much in a dominant position!
Many of the powerful beings and mighty figures in Yue Tong City turned their eyes upon the white-robed figure standing atop the city wall. He had become a psychological pillar for many people.
He was the hero of the human race, the War God of the Tai Chu Continent. With him among their ranks, many of the powerful beings were quite hopeful that they could win this battle.
An Lin was still his usual calm and collected self, and this instilled many mighty figures with confidence and a sense of security.
What was he thinking about? Nothing. He was merely spacing out.
At this moment, the Heart of the Ocean that An Lin carried with him suddenly lit up.
He surreptitiously connected the call and transmitted his voice, “Brother Sea! I’ve been waiting for a call from you for a long time!”
“I’ve missed you too, Brother An Lin! Let’s skip the small talk. I have something very important that I need to tell you,” the Heavenly Sea God’s grave voice sounded.
“What is it?”
“Light, Earth, and I have devised a plan to kill you within ten days!”
An Lin: “!!!”
