Chapter 2062: An Extremely Close Battle
A golden pillar of heaven crushing light punctured the sky.
The Heavenly Earth God hurtled back in retreat with a few small cracks on his forehead.
He immediately grasped what had happened, and he turned to An Lin with astonishment on his face. “The power of time… You managed to take advantage of its only flaw…”
In the distance, the spectating Heavenly Sea God and Heavenly Yin Yang God were also stunned.
Not only had the Eternal Guardians of the Earth been killed, but even the Independent Vital Substance had also been destroyed! Furthermore, he had been wounded by An Lin again!
Never would the Heavenly Yin Yang God have thought that the invincible Heavenly Earth God would struggle so much against An Lin.
Even the Heavenly Sea God was extremely surprised. From his simulation, he had determined that An Lin’s combat prowess was insufficient to ward off the Heavenly Earth God’s trump card. But who would have thought that he would destroy it so quickly? Things were beginning to get interesting…
The Heavenly Earth God’s expression had become extremely dark.
He had planned to force An Lin into a dire situation with his Independent Vital Substance, but he did not expect An Lin to be able to combat it. What could he do now?
“Liquid Octopus, hold off An Lin for me!” the Heavenly Earth God instructed in a calm voice.
The Liquid Octopus immediately pounced toward An Lin upon hearing that. Its tentacles unfurled and crashed through the air toward him with devastating force. As long as An Lin didn’t use his Sky Sealing Technique, it possessed an undying body. No matter how powerful An Lin was, it wasn’t fearful in the slightest!
“Trying to buy time with these guardians again?” An Lin smiled as he spread open a hand, upon which a gray ring of light appeared on his palm.
The ring of light expanded again, right before the Liquid Octopus’ horrified gaze. Heaven and earth were transformed into a drab gray color, and all connections to the surrounding world had been cut off.
Sky Sealing Technique!
“You… you can use it again?!” The Liquid Octopus was astonished.
“Who told you I could only use it once?” An Lin chuckled.
Seeing as the Heavenly Earth God was trying to use the guardians to buy time, then he definitely wouldn’t have the spare capacity to destroy his Sky Sealing Technique again. As such, he was going to use the technique to destroy all of his underlings!
The Liquid Octopus was in complete despair. It had been quite happy to attack An Lin at the Heavenly Earth God’s behest. However, after the Sky Sealing Technique was unleashed again, the nature of its task had completely changed. It wasn’t buying time anymore; it was sacrificing itself!
Thump thump thump!
The Liquid Octopus frantically attacked An Lin with its tentacles, but he was able to charge straight through the assault, relying on his sevenfold heavenly armor to ward off all attacks. He clenched his fist before unleashing a devastating punch.
Fist of the Heavenly Dao, Six Times Fire Sage Arm!
A familiar scene ensued.
The Liquid Octopus was struck by the despair that the Metallic Heavenly Wolf and the Heavy Rock Crocodile had felt. An Lin’s fist descended with unstoppable force, pulverizing the feelers it was using to defend itself before crashing heavily into its head. Terrifying energy exploded, causing its head to cave in before exploding!
Tentacles intermingled with chunks of flesh fell to the ground. The mighty Liquid Octopus didn’t even get a chance to display its power before it fell.
Physical An Lin did not rest after that; he immediately rushed over to help divine sense An Lin fight the Lava Giant.
The Lava Giant’s defenses were extremely powerful, and divine sense An Lin was unable to insta-kill it. Physical An Lin arrived and unleashed his Fist of the Heavenly Dao Six Times Fire Sage Fist as usual, breaking through the giant’s defenses and insta-killing it with one punch…
There wasn’t much creativity to his techniques, but they certainly worked.
Both the Heavenly Yin Yang God and the Heavenly Sea God were a little stunned as they looked on from afar.
An Lin had shown them the power of the invincible War God of the human race. Even the Eternal Guardians of the Earth that had been summoned by the Heavenly Earth God were dismantled with ease. It was almost as if An Lin were fighting a bunch of defenseless animals.
Tear!
The Sky Sealing Technique was withdrawn by An Lin.
The Heavenly Earth God’s lips twitched as he witnessed An Lin’s triumphant return.
The time that the Liquid Octopus and Lava Giant had bought for him was significantly less than expected…
How were they unable to even take a single punch from An Lin?!
“Oh? You’re still trying to use the Independent Vital Substance?!” An Lin could see that there was a ball of white matter materializing between the Heavenly Earth God’s cupped hands. He was very familiar with that substance; it was the Independent Vital Substance.
He didn’t think that the Heavenly Earth God was going to reuse an attack that he had already vanquished. Was he simply stubborn? Was he trying to prove a point?
No; the reality was that the Independent Vital Substance really was very badass!
An Lin was well aware of that. Most importantly, his Time Stop couldn’t be used consecutively within a short time. If the Heavenly Earth God managed to produce more Independent Vital Substance, then he would be plunged into an extremely dire situation.
The Heavenly Earth God must have also identified that through his divination, thereby prompting him to create more Independent Vital Substance!
An Lin immediately lashed out with his Evil-Slaying Sword without any hesitation. A streak of black light instantly flashed through the air toward the white substance in the Heavenly Earth God’s hand.
Vanquish the Heavens and Slay All Evil, Annihilation!
Bam!
The power of annihilation struck the white substance, and invisible ripples blossomed like a lotus flower. However, the white substance instantly formed countless interconnected bodies, binding around one another to create a protective barrier. As the destructive power exploded, it tremored violently and even began to crack, but it was still able to withstand the attack in the end.
It blocked that?
An Lin’s expression changed slightly. That was the first time his Annihilation technique had been blocked.
“Hehe, you’re still too late.” A smile appeared on the Heavenly Earth God’s face as he made his way toward An Lin, carrying the white substance in his hand. “Why don’t you keep using your Time Stop? It’s the only way to target the Independent Vital Substance’s flaw, after all. What? You can’t use it?”
The Heavenly Earth God used the earth to instantaneously appear beside An Lin. At the same time, the Independent Vital Substance in his hand erupted.
“Seeing as that’s the case… then please die!”
Divine sense An Lin appeared behind the Heavenly Earth God, and the golden soul blade in his hand whistled through the air toward the latter’s neck. However, before the blade had fallen, his chest was punctured by a spear constructed from that white substance.
At the same time, countless white swords rushed toward physical An Lin.
Wind Sword!
An Lin lashed out with his Evil-Slaying Sword at an extremely fast speed toward the oncoming white swords. However, just as the blade of his sword was about to make contact with the white swords, they suddenly became as soft as spirit snakes and wrapped themselves around his sword before crawling toward his body!
As the power in An Lin’s sword receded, the spirit snakes suddenly turned back into sharp swords to attack him.
An Lin still had his sevenfold heavenly armor to defend him; however, the Independent Vital Substance was able to identify the properties of his armor before transforming in accordance with those findings, thereby allowing the swords to tear through An Lin’s defenses!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A series of holes appeared in his suit of armor.
A dozen or so white swords pierced through the armor with unstoppable force before stabbing viciously into his body. Blood instantly splattered everywhere, staining his white robe red.
