Chapter 1464: Chapter 655: Origin of the Pillar (Part 2)
At this moment of ultimate chaos on the battlefield.
An unspeakable terror... suddenly descended.
Xu Tianyin merely turned back.
Turned back to take a glance.
Bam!!!
His body suddenly shattered!
It was a palm strike from the Old An Monster.
The palm strike from the Family Head of the An Family, who suppressed Thunder City, controlled the Soothing Spirit Pillar, and nearly stood at the pinnacle of Thunder City.
With just one palm, Xu Tianyin’s body collapsed.
His limbs broke, spinning rapidly towards the Soothing Spirit Pillar.
His chest turned into a mass of flesh, striking the Soothing Spirit Pillar.
Only the head remained intact, thoroughly merging into the Soothing Spirit Pillar.
Yes.
Merging!
Because...
Buzz!!!
The entire Soothing Spirit Pillar suddenly erupted with a blinding scarlet light!
The pillar that had suppressed Thunder City for long years, controlled by the Ten Major Families for ages, towering above all in Thunder City, and was known as the Sky-reaching Pillar!
Now, it belonged to him! Establishing a deep connection, mutually reflecting!!
In shock and awe, the Old An Monster widened his eyes as Xu Tianyin’s entire remains thoroughly merged into the Soothing Spirit Pillar.
From now on, he, Xu Tianyin, was the master of the Soothing Spirit Pillar!!!
Boom!!!
Scarlet lightning exploded from around the Soothing Spirit Pillar, forcing the Old An Monster to retreat!
The scarlet lightning struck the sky, merging into the thundercloud.
The originally pitch-black thundercloud suddenly boomed, quickly turning scarlet!
The scarlet thundercloud, witnessed by Qiu Xiaoping and other survivors of the Foolish Underworld, caused them to prostrate on the ground in excitement.
"The General Commander has succeeded!!!"
"Mr. Xu has succeeded!!! The Sky-reaching Pillar is ours!"
"Ascent! Ascent! Ascent!!! From now on, Thunder City will be ours!!"
The crowd shouted excitedly, oblivious to the strange expression on the Old An Monster’s face after landing.
"Hahaha! That’s right! You old fool, your palm destroyed my flesh, but it allowed me to connect more intimately with the Soothing Spirit Pillar! Now, I am the Soothing Spirit Pillar, the Soothing Spirit Pillar is me, what can you do!!"
An ear-splitting roar of excitement from Xu Tianyin reverberated out from within the Soothing Spirit Pillar, as if rolling thunder.
The elders of the An Family changed color.
"It’s bad! He really controlled the Soothing Spirit Pillar!"
"Terrible! Quickly think of a way to reclaim control of the Soothing Spirit Pillar!"
Just as the two elders finished speaking...
Boom!!
Two scarlet lightning bolts as thick as tree trunks thunderously descended from the thundercloud like dragons!
Without any chance to react, the two elders were simultaneously struck by these scarlet lightning bolts, their bodies straightened and fell to the ground, sizzling and charred, beyond saving.
"Hahaha! Is this the power I have now? Is this the power of the Sky-reaching Pillar? Now, who can stop me!!"
Though the sound came from within the Soothing Spirit Pillar, the crowd seemed to feel that a gaze was concentrated on the Family Head of the An Family.
"Next, it’s you!"
Rumble!!
The scarlet thundercloud roared, swirling, as if world-destroying power was gradually gathering in the vortex of the thundercloud.
Clearly, to deal with the Old An Monster, Xu Tianyin mobilized more power instead of just two random thundercloud bolts like with those two elders.
"Die for me...!!!"
Xu Tianyin shouted fiercely.
The sky’s thundercloud suddenly roared, momentarily illuminating the entire Thunder City like day!
The terrifying scarlet Thunder Power thunderously descended from the vortex thundercloud, directly charging at the Family Head of the An Family on the ground.
Yet, the Family Head of the An Family calmly spoke.
"Won’t you act now?"
Almost immediately after the Family Head of the An Family finished speaking...
The rapidly descending thundercloud unexpectedly shattered in mid-air and suddenly changed! Transforming into countless dense scarlet lightning bolts, scattering around the An Mansion, yet... without harming the Family Head of the An Family in the slightest!
"What?!"
Xu Tianyin was shocked and terrified.
"What did you do?! Why didn’t the lightning strike! Why won’t this power obey my command!!"
Xu Tianyin felt fear, as if struggling against something, gradually losing control of the Soothing Spirit Pillar!
He roared fiercely at the Old An Monster, drawing only cold laughter from him.
"Xu Tianyin, oh Xu Tianyin, I must admit, I underestimated you. You’ve shown great courage, trying to scheme for the Sky-reaching Pillar of my An Family! But unfortunately, you will never know what kind of secret is hidden by our Ten Major Families! Unable to see through this, you’ll never truly control the Sky-reaching Pillar!!"
Boom!!!
The thundercloud roared, fading from scarlet to ordinary pitch-black, raining giant thunder directly upon the Soothing Spirit Pillar.
Crackle!
Amidst the entangling thunder on the pillar body, a gigantic eye slowly emerged and gradually opened from the Soothing Spirit Pillar.
"Amitabha."
The eye on the Soothing Spirit Pillar emitted a sound, a strange sound neither human nor non-human.
Correspondingly, Xu Tianyin’s gradually weakening and shrill roar.
"Aaaahhh!! No! No!!! Devoured! Something is devouring my body, devouring my consciousness!! I understand now; the Soothing Spirit Pillar is a web! A vessel! You hid something inside, what did you hide inside!!!"
He roared fiercely, yet his voice was gradually drowned by divine chanting, until... silence.
The esteemed President of the Rebel Army, after years of deep planning, actually... died so quietly within the Soothing Spirit Pillar.
And the eye on the Soothing Spirit Pillar looked down at the Old An Monster.
"We initially thought, the offering would be you."
The Old An Monster smiled coldly.
"Who the offering is, remains uncertain."
