Tens of millions of West Sea Alliance members burst into elated cheers.
They were genuinely happy.
Demon Lord Ling Gu’s breakthrough from the Dao Integration Intermediate Stage to the Dao Integration Final Stage further bolstered the power of the West Sea Alliance. With this increase in power, he could potentially become a heavenly disciple candidate as well. In that case, he would become quite the force to be reckoned with.
An Lin was completely unsurprised by this turn of events.
Demon Lord Ling Gu had swallowed one billion Heavenly Human eggs! The energy contained within those eggs rivaled the energy within the bodies of several dozen Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures. With such a vast intake of energy, Demon Lord Ling Gu would even be able to progress straight to the God of Creation Stage if he had sufficient aptitude.
Of course, the vast majority of super mighty figures did not have sufficient aptitude.
Take the Celestial Thearch for example. He had been at the pinnacle of the Kingdom of the Nine States for countless years, but he was still stuck at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage. He had definitely accumulated enough energy and could not progress any further through normal cultivation. All he lacked was a hint of enlightenment.
However, that tiny little bit of enlightenment was more important than the energy of hundreds of Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures!
“Howl!” a proud and domineering roar erupted through heaven and earth.
After progressing to the Dao Integration Final Stage, Demon Lord Ling Gu’s aura had soared to an extremely terrifying extent, and it was still elevating! He was still absorbing the energy essence within the Heavenly Human eggs, and as he did so, he became more and more powerful.
His stomach finally sagged like a balloon and reverted to its original state after he reached the very pinnacle of the Dao Integration Stage.
“Ah… I’m so powerful… Is this the feeling of invincibility?” Demon Lord Ling Gu felt like his body had become so powerful that he didn’t fear any enemies.
He clenched his fists and demonic power surged within his body. His blood vessels bulged, and a red light pulsed within them as his arm expanded. A punch unleashed by him in his current state would generate more destructive power than the most powerful hydrogen bomb.
Demon Lord Ling Gu felt like he could stomp the heavens beneath his feet. He turned toward An Lin with an intense light in his eyes. “Sect Leader An Lin, punch me with your full power! I want to test my power!”
Demon Lord Ling Gu now had the confidence to challenge the white-robed man he once revered and worshipped.
An Lin blinked as if he were a little surprised. “Sure…”
He didn’t understand why this request had been made, but he would satisfy it nonetheless.
An Lin unleashed a punch.
Demon Lord Ling Gu chortled as he too unleashed a punch in response.
Boom!
Heaven and earth fell silent for a split second as their fists collided.
“Arrrrgh…!”
A howl of anguish instantly shattered this silence.
Demon Lord Ling Gu’s massive body was blasted away for several hundred kilometers and was reduced to a black spot on the horizon. The power of the five elements had torn his entire arm apart in an extremely violent manner. If An Lin hadn’t held back, that power would have spread to his entire body.
Everyone was at a loss for words at the sight of Demon Lord Ling Gu being insta-killed by a single punch.
Lan Xiaoni crossed her arms as a resigned expression appeared on her face. “He got way too cocky there. To think that he would dare to challenge Big Boss An Lin! Let this be a lesson to him…”
The West Sea Alliance members could tell that Demon Lord Ling Gu had become extremely powerful, but An Lin had crushed him with ease. They were both shocked and very excited to have such an invincible backer!
Demon Lord Ling Gu was the most astonished of all. After absorbing the energy essence from so many Heavenly Human eggs, he had thought that he was invincible. However, An Lin’s punch had knocked him back down to earth, both literally and figuratively.
Demon Lord Ling Gu’s gargantuan body crashed into the ocean, triggering a massive tsunami. He gripped his shattered arm and looked up into the sky, wondering if he had actually evolved at all.
Just how powerful was Sect Leader An Lin?
As expected of someone that he worshipped!
Demon Lord Ling Gu quickly gathered himself and flew over to An Lin before expressing his gratitude and admiration.
If it weren’t for An Lin, he wouldn’t have encountered this massive opportunity that had taken him to the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage. It was said that hanging out with powerful beings would improve one’s luck. This appeared to be the truth.
Demon Lord Ling Gu was even more determined to follow An Lin now.
Of course, his top priority was to guard the West Sea.
An Lin would only acknowledge him if he dedicated himself to defending the West Sea.
Meanwhile, at the Eastern Heavenly Gate.
A Heavenly God with a massive saber on his back stared intently at a sea of light. “Heavenly Light Goddess, all ten million Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings have been gathered. When do we initiate the kamikaze attack?”
The sea of light shuddered at the mention of the kamikaze attack.
“The plan has been canceled…” the Heavenly Light Goddess’ indifferent voice sounded in reply.
“B… but why?” A Heavenly Goddess with a massive pink foldable fan in her hands was bewildered. “Didn’t you say that an earth-shattering plan was about to be set into motion?”
“That’s right, I heard the same thing…” the other Heavenly Gods all chimed in before turning to the sea of light with curiosity.
The sea of light faltered before trembling again.
How was she supposed to explain this? Her epic plan had been foiled?
No! She couldn’t admit it!
If she did, it would be a massive slap to the face for all three paramount Heavenly Gods involved!
“We’ll… talk about this another time.” The Heavenly Light Goddess refused to deliver a statement.
However, even though the Heavenly Light Goddess didn’t say anything, she couldn’t stop others from spreading the word.
An Lin stayed true to his humble self and requested the West Sea Alliance to broadcast the fruits of his labors. Furthermore, he sent a series of high-definition photos taken by the True Element Martial Lord to all major media outlets. He struck one final nail into the coffin by confirming the rumors about Demon Lord Ling Gu’s breakthrough after consuming a billion Heavenly Human eggs.
Thus, An Lin dominated all of the headlines once again.
“Invincible War God Foils Sinister Plot Hatched By Paramount Heavenly Gods!”
“Threat of Doomsday Erased Before Eventuating!”
“Human Race War God Exterminates One Billion Enemies!”
“Demon Lord Ling Gu goes on a private trip with Sect Leader An Lin and returns one day later heavily pregnant. Stay tuned for the shocking truth!”
One astonishing headline after another spread across the entire Tai Chu Continent, shocking countless living beings.
No one in this world seemed capable of stopping this human race War God!
Not only was An Lin the Heavenly Court War God now, but he was also revered by countless living beings as the War God of the entire human race! There were superfans staring at him wherever he went.
An Lin wanted to live a quiet and understated life, but that was now nothing but a distant dream.
As such, he could only go out less. After all, being pounced on by frenetic fangirls would not be a fun experience.
Little boys like him had to be careful when traveling.
After accomplishing these epic feats, An Lin returned to Yue Tong City.
