The Great Dao was the essence and the true meaning of a world. The crumbling of the Great Dao was countless times more disastrous than space being shattered. In a best-case scenario, laws would be plunged into disarray, and in the worst-case scenario, even the entire world could be destroyed.
In that instant, An Lin sensed countless laws beginning to descend into chaos.
His battle against the Heavenly Earth God had already inflicted severe damage upon the world, and the latest explosion of energy was like the final straw that broke the camel’s back, completely exceeding the tolerance limit of the world.
Boom!
A devastating destructive power exploded forth, annihilating the space within a radius of over a hundred kilometers.
Black and white streaks of turbulent chaos wreaked havoc as countless laws were destroyed. Some of the laws were even inflicting backlash upon An Lin as retaliation, thereby frantically damaging the essence of his being.
The Heavenly Earth God wasn’t faring much better either. His gargantuan body was riddled with cracks from the backlash of shattered laws, and it appeared to be on the verge of completely collapsing.
The explosion of energy quickly spread, creating a ball of vibrant and colorful energy several thousand kilometers in radius. It engulfed everything that came into contact with it, and after reaching the height of its size, it quickly began to shrink again. It was like fireworks being set off in the night sky; it was brilliant and dazzling for a moment, but it then quickly faded into nothingness.
After the energy dissipated, both An Lin and the Heavenly Earth God still maintained their punching postures. The heaven and earth around them had disappeared and were replaced by an extremely perilous chaotic space.
The space that had existed in the past had already been destroyed by them, and it wouldn’t be able to recover in a short time.
An Lin’s dark feather cloak was in tatters, and he was missing half of his left arm, while his right fist had been reduced to a gruesome mass of flesh and blood. The Heavenly Earth God immediately burst into laughter at the sight of An Lin’s sorry state.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Earth God himself was riddled with wounds as well. His left leg had been obliterated, his fist was shattered, and half of his head was missing. An Lin also began to laugh along with his opponent upon seeing that.
“You and I have both used our final trump cards, but neither of us seems to have gained the upper hand,” the Heavenly Earth God remarked with a hint of a smile on his face. He knew that in order to contend with the power from the core of the Tai Chu Continent, An Lin had used up all of the power that he had been surreptitiously storing away in his chaotic vortex.
“It’s true that neither of us was able to gain the upper hand, but why are you assuming that both of us have used our final trump cards?” An Lin questioned with a mysterious smile.
“What? You don’t mean…” The Heavenly Earth God’s expression abruptly changed.
At that moment, An Lin’s fist was already whistling toward him.
Boom!
The Heavenly Earth God only just managed to raise a palm in defense when An Lin’s punch was descended upon him. The absolute power imbued within the fist immediately shattered the Heavenly Earth God’s hand!
The latter rushed back frantically in retreat.
He had been too careless. An Lin wasn’t able to gain the ascendency during their last exchange, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t have any energy left. After all, he had just taken four divine pills, so it was quite normal for him to have some energy left!
He needed time; he had to recharge his energy by drawing upon the power of the Tai Chu Continent before he would be able to continue fighting.
However, An Lin was well aware of that, and he was not about to afford his opponent the opportunity to recharge.
He knew that the Heavenly Earth God was in his most vulnerable state and that it was the best time to bring him down!
Their surroundings had been reduced to complete chaos. Both heaven and earth were extremely far away from them, which meant that it would be a very difficult task for the Heavenly Earth God to draw upon the power of the earth. That was a factor that was weighed very much in An Lin’s favor.
“I’m going to end you right here!” An Lin flew toward the Heavenly Earth God in hot pursuit, and his Evil-Slaying Sword began to ring as a layer of flawless golden light that was imbued with supreme might settled over its blade.
After progressing to the Dao Integration Stage, he was finally able to use that attack.
“Six Strikes of the War God, sixth technique, Divine Sword!”
Boom!
Boundless golden light erupted, piercing through the vast expanse of chaos!
A burst of essential sword dao divine might hurtled through the air, inflicting a series of sword wounds on the Heavenly Earth God’s body even though the attack hadn’t even fallen yet.
An astonished look appeared on the Heavenly Earth God’s face. He felt as if just the sword intent from that technique alone was threatening to slice his body in half. At times, one developed a premonition of the outcome before they were even struck by an attack. The Heavenly Earth God was experiencing one of those moments right in that instant. The power and sword dao true intent imbued within An Lin’s attack simply struck him with a sense of inevitability.
He turned to look behind him, only to find An Lin raising the golden divine sword high above his head. His body tore through the chaos, and his supreme divine might erupted in all its glory, as if he were an invincible god capable of destroying all things.
The Heavenly Earth God knew that he wouldn’t be able to evade that attack, so he suddenly turned around, and the potent power of the earth poured forth from his remaining arm. Countless stars hurtled through the air, flying toward An Lin with immense destructive power.
“Die!
“Great Nebula Punch!”
Countless stars exploded, dispersing the surrounding chaos.
However, An Lin was not fearful in the slightest as he charged through the air to meet the attack. His golden divine sword fell in that instant, and its golden light abruptly lit up the boundless chaos before tearing through everything!
The exploding stars only lasted several seconds before being inundated by the peerlessly powerful golden light.
The Heavenly Earth God looked at the boundless expanse of golden light descending upon him, and he was struck by a sense of powerlessness. At that same time, a hint of fear and remorse welled up in his heart.
How had the battle progressed to that stage?
Wasn’t An Lin supposed to be someone that he should have been able to kill with ease? Why was An Lin the one landing the killing blow on him?
Why?
No one could answer the Heavenly Earth God’s question.
The unstoppable golden sword struck his head before crashing down and slicing his body cleanly in half! At the same time, the supremely powerful sword intent annihilated the two halves of his body into nothingness.
The golden light dissipated, and An Lin was the only one who remained amid the chaos.
Everything gradually subsided.
As the battle had drawn to a conclusion, the chaos began to quickly heal over.
An Lin soon arrived back at the original battlefield.
The Heavenly Sea God was waiting there, and his eyes widened with astonishment when he saw that An Lin was the sole survivor.
He had considered this possibility in the past, but he was still extremely stunned that it would actually eventuate. After all, he had just defeated a paramount Heavenly God in his true dao form! That was simply extraordinary…
An Lin’s breathing was very heavy, and his aura was severely diminished. However, he wore a relieved smile on his face as he panted. “I won…”
Boom!
A bulge suddenly appeared in the earth, which then materialized to form an amber-like youth.
He had a greenish-yellow divine halo above his head, but it was riddled with cracks.
That youth was none other than the Heavenly Earth God!
An Lin initially faltered upon seeing that, before a hint of a smile appeared on his face. “Oh, you’re still not dead? I was just lamenting about all those trump cards that I didn’t get a chance to use. How about it? Which one do you want to see?”
The Heavenly Earth God shuddered upon hearing that, and he immediately fled into the distance with all his might!
