Chapter 2182: Dire Strait
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin unleashed a burst of darkness to engulf the attacks before him. However, his darkness was ruthlessly sliced into pieces by the Infinite Light Cage surrounding him. The powerful rays of light of this cage possessed a characteristic of boundlessness. Each time the darkness tried to engulf it, it would only be able to engulf a portion of its existence. It couldn’t engulf it in its entirety.
At this moment, the clock that the Heavenly Life Goddess had tossed over had already started to tick. However, it was ticking backward instead of forward. Immediately afterward, a power of time that was intrinsically linked to the power of life started to spread through An Lin’s body. The hands on the clock started to tick faster and faster.
An Lin could feel his power mysteriously becoming weaker.
His darkness also transformed from the purest and most fundamental darkness into a diluted and transparent darkness.
An Lin’s expression changed drastically. This Clock of Life actually possessed the ability to revert the state of his existence? It was sending his life back in time?
Indeed, An Lin could feel that he was becoming more and more youthful. At the same time, however, his power was also rapidly becoming weaker. After all, he had become very powerful very quickly. Thus, now that he was being reverted to his original state, he was naturally becoming unbelievably weak!
Several seconds passed, and An Lin suddenly started to feel as if he didn’t know how to wield his Divine Dao of Darkness anymore.
At this moment, the Heavenly Sea God had already arrived behind An Lin. He ruthlessly thrust his Golden Trident of the Sea at An Lin’s back.
An Lin wanted to dodge, yet his power had already become far too weak. He had no way of dodging such a fast and precise attack. A heart-wrenching pain instantly shot through his body!
Ahhh…! It hurts!?
The power of the sea surged into his body.
An Lin felt as if he had been swept into a whirlpool in the sea, and it was as if he were about to be engulfed by the sea at any moment. He would sink into eternal darkness and silence.
This feeling was… incredibly comfortable!
Indeed, An Lin enjoyed the Heavenly Sea God’s power.
There were similarities between the Heavenly Sea Power and Heavenly Darkness Power, and the Heavenly Sea God had also claimed that they had been good friends in the past. An Lin had trusted fifty percent of this claim.
In fact, this Heavenly Sea Power even allowed An Lin to rediscover his Divine Dao of Darkness!
He rediscovered the power that had been stripped by the life-reverting Clock of Life.
“Heavenly God Technique… Eternal Darkness!”
An Lin opened his eyes, which looked like the most profound darkness at this moment. A black hole of chaos materialized behind him again, and the purest burst of darkness instantly erupted from his body!
Standing behind An Lin, the Heavenly Sea God persisted in using his trident to suppress An Lin’s power. At the same time, he used his Heavenly Sea Power to protect his own body.
However, the explosion of darkness was like an ever-expanding orb of darkness. It continued to push back until the Heavenly Sea God’s protective barrier became twisted and contorted. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Life Goddess’ Clock of Life was ruthlessly engulfed by the darkness.
The Heavenly Life Goddess frantically dashed back in retreat. She didn’t dare to face An Lin’s attacks head-on.
An Lin turned to face the Heavenly Sea God who was standing behind him before cracking a smile and asking, “Brother Sea, are you that eager to kill me?”
The Heavenly Sea God’s expression changed slightly, and the golden trident in his hand ruthlessly released an even more ferocious burst of power. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! Don’t try to act like my brother!”
A gaping wound was instantly blasted into An Lin’s chest.
Like countless spears, streams of golden liquid then continued to stab into An Lin’s flesh through this gaping wound. It wasn’t long before An Lin became a golden hedgehog.
An Lin took a deep breath before gritting his teeth and murmuring, “Ow… It hurts…”
He was truly suffering immense pain.
However, he didn’t try to dodge these attacks. After all, his Eternal Darkness hadn’t concluded yet.
The darkness continued to violently push against the Heavenly Sea God’s protective barrier, growing more and more powerful as it did so. The seas attempted to resist, yet the eternal nature of the darkness meant that it would remain steadfast and growing regardless of how the seas crashed against it.
The Heavenly Sea God couldn’t maintain his attack anymore.
“An Lin, don’t get ahead of yourself!”
The Heavenly Sea God finally shot back in retreat. However, the orb of darkness before An Lin had already condensed into a spear and shot toward his chest at an even quicker speed!
“What?!” The Heavenly Sea God was extremely startled. However, the spear of darkness had already pierced through his barrier and exploded into his chest!
Boom!
The explosion of darkness blasted another gaping hole into the Heavenly Sea God’s body.
An Lin smiled coldly and said, “Thanks for your warning; I haven’t gotten ahead of myself yet. Also, same to you. Don’t get ahead of yourself.” He then turned around and continued to flee into the distance.
At this moment, an attack smashed down from the sky again.
Boom!
Countless blue crystal-like objects that contained the power of an entire world pelted down at An Lin, forcefully suppressing him to the bottom of the sea again.
“You still want to escape? Don’t you think that you’re a bit too naive?” The Heavenly Heaven God—whose head had already recovered—glared daggers at the suppressed An Lin.
An Lin struggled against the suppression, yet it was no easy feat to break free from a charged attack of the Heavenly Heaven God. Seizing this opportunity, the Heavenly Sea God, Heavenly Life Goddess, and Heavenly Light Goddess had already lunged before him again, each of them unleashing a formidable Heavenly God Technique…
The battle in the White Nectar Sea transformed into a battle between An Lin and the four other Supreme Heavenly Gods.
The Heaven Crushing United Army—who had initially been delighted and feeling schadenfreude at the internal battle between the Supreme Heavenly Gods—suddenly started to feel anxious and uneasy. This was because they saw the Supreme Heavenly Gods suddenly pause and turn to furiously target another being who was radiating with darkness.
They were too far away, so they couldn’t see An Lin’s figure clearly. However, they could clearly see the powerful and earth-shattering darkness that he unleashed.
They could also see the devastating powers of the Heavenly Heaven God, Heavenly Sea God, Heavenly Light Goddess, and Heavenly Life Goddess. Moreover, these four powers were all working together to tear at the darkness.
They were clearly aware of what that darkness represented. That was the paramount God of War who led their resistance against the Heavenly Human Tribe; that was the Supreme Heavenly God who possessed the power of darkness… He was none other than An Lin!
The situation started to deteriorate.
The Heaven Crushing United Army became increasingly anxious and uneasy.
Everyone knew that An Lin had been backed into a corner.
Being targeted by four Supreme Heavenly Gods was definitely an unimaginable catastrophe. This represented the most powerful force that the Heavenly Human Tribe could gather.
Meanwhile, An Lin was only a single person. How could he rival them?
Numerous powerful beings carried a will of death as they actively requested to participate in the battle. They desired nothing but to give An Lin an extra iota of chance to escape.
However, these requests were all rejected by Lan Xiaoni.
A mighty figure at the Return to Void Stage was red-eyed with emotion as he said, “Alliance Leader Lan, please let us go! An Lin is facing his greatest danger ever, and we’re all willing to live or die alongside him!”
“An Lin actively walked into danger for the sake of the Tai Chu Continent, so why can’t we walk into danger for him or the continent?” a super-mighty being at the Dao Integration Stage concurred.
Countless powerful beings spoke up in agreement.
“You people aren’t walking into danger; you’re walking into death,” Lan Xiaoni replied as she gazed at the explosions in the distance. Her voice was firm, and she continued, “Our duty is to protect Yue Tong City.”
However, the powerful beings continued to protest. They held immense respect for An Lin, and they also loved this continent with a passion. Thus, they were willing to sacrifice their lives at this most critical moment.
Yet, Lan Xiaoni was like a giant mountain that stood before all of the powerful beings who wanted to help An Lin. She would block and push back all of those who wanted to leave.
In fact, Lan Xiaoni wanted to charge over and join the battle more than anyone else. However, she understood that she couldn’t.
Xu Xiaolan had already handed the responsibility of guarding Yue Tong City to her. Thus, she had to see this task through to the end. Doing so was in order to protect the Heaven Crushing United Army that was stationed here and also to prevent giving An Lin any additional worries.
She still wasn’t powerful enough, and she still couldn’t help An Lin in such a high-level battle.
“Sister Xiaolan, you definitely have to succeed…
“Big Boss An Lin, you definitely have to stay safe and return alive!
“Underling Lan will wait here for you. I’ll wait here forever…”
The mermaid princess quietly murmured to herself as the dazzling explosions of battle were reflected in her clear blue eyes…
