Chapter 1286 - The True Power of the Holy Angel
Chapter 1286: The True Power of the Holy Angel
He had taken care of Shirley in order to avoid the unpredictability of her potentially unleashing lethal techniques from the shadows.
Big Brother Cheng had played a similar role. He had unleashed his most powerful explosion, which had flipped the tables on the battle at a critical juncture.
Now, there was only Michael left, and they could focus on dealing with him.
Michael’s expression remained unchanged at the sight of Shirley’s elimination.
As long as he was still here, the Light Wing Clan’s biggest hope of obtaining heavenly peaches would still be alive.
“I’ll admit that I underestimated you two.
“Even though it’s not going to be very fair to you, I’m going to be using my Holy Spirit Body to defeat you.” Michael spread open all six of his wings from which holy light erupted. Each and every feather on those wings exuded a pristine white light, which was extremely piercing to look at.
Bursts of holy music began to appear, as if it were trying to purify this entire world.
In that instant, he was like the holiest existence in this world.
Boom!
Michael’s aura began to climb, and he soon broke through the Dao Body Stage to an extremely mysterious state.
“Oi, that’s going too far… You’re using hacks!” An Lin instinctively retreated as he spoke with a slightly tense expression.
The Holy Spirit Body was an extremely rare dao body within the Light Wing Clan. It was a dao body that one could be born with. Once this power was activated, one would be capable of unleashing one’s holy spirit energy, which was different from vital energy.
Michael was initially planning to just do a casual job, but after encountering An Lin, he suddenly wanted to do an earnest job!
Unleashing holy spirit energy in conjunction with vital energy was not a simple equation of one plus one. After fusing together, their power would be enhanced exponentially!
An Lin could feel Michael’s aura becoming more and more terrifying. In his current state, he would be able to defeat most Soul Formation Stage cultivators!
Michael was most likely going to be the most powerful opponent he would face during this trip.
In the Heavenly Palace.
All of the Light Wing Clan living beings were already getting very excited.
“Ah! Holy Angel Michael is using his holy spirit energy. I’m so excited!” One beautiful Light Wing Clan angel after another squealed with delight.
“No matter how powerful An Lin is, there’s no way he can stand up against Holy Angel Michael. It looks like we’ll be able to eliminate a tough competitor!”
“Even if any of the other Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures arrived, they would definitely be no match for Holy Angel Michael in his current state.”
Even the male cultivators from the Light Wing Clan were extremely excited to see this, and they began to discuss spiritedly among themselves.
An Lin and Michael’s battle had attracted the attention of almost half of the mighty figures gathered in the Heavenly Palace. Almost none of them thought An Lin stood a chance against Michael.
The emperors of the Heavenly Court also had their attention focused on An Lin.
However, they held a different opinion from the general consensus. All of them were full of anticipation, thinking about what An Lin would do to defeat Michael.
“Emperor Chang Sheng, how about we make a bet? Is An Lin going to win this battle, or if Michael going to win this battle?” the Celestial Thearch suggested.
Emperor Chang Sheng stroked his snowy-white beard as he spoke with a smile, “Alright, I’ll bet on An Lin winning for five hundred-year-old heavenly peaches.”
The Celestial Thearch: “… Michael is that powerful, yet you’re betting on An Lin winning?”
“Heh, I’m not stupid. An Lin has done countless things to surprise us over the years. I’ve learned to expect the unexpected from him now,” Emperor Chang Sheng spoke with a profound expression, as if he had seen through something.
The Celestial Thearch was very upset to hear this. He was planning to earn a few heavenly peaches as a result of this bet, but Emperor Chang Sheng did not fall for his scheme.
“Just betting on the winner is boring. Let’s bet on how long An Lin is going to take to defeat Michael,” Emperor Ziwei suddenly interjected. “I’ll bet five hundred-year-old heavenly peaches that he can beat Michael within ten minutes!”
Emperor Ziwei had once been pummeled by An Lin, so he was very confident in An Lin’s combat prowess.
“I’ll bet that he won’t be able to.” The Celestial Thearch finally made his decision after pondering for a short while.
Michael was a super mighty figure with powers that were comparable to his, so he decided to show some faith in Michael.
…
Meanwhile, within the Dao Observation Space.
“You seem to like using swords, so I’ll beat you with my sword,” Michael spoke in an indifferent voice, as if he were an emotionless god. A light sword had already appeared in his hand as he spoke.
Boom!
Michael hurtled toward An Lin at an extremely fast speed, leaving a sonic boom in his wake. The light sword in his hand unleashed an extremely pure and powerful strike!
This was a sword technique with no bells and whistles. After fusing the holy spirit energy together with vital energy, even the most simple sword strikes would be overwhelmingly powerful, so there was no need for any embellishment.
The hair on the back of An Lin’s neck instantly stood on end, and he immediately unleashed his Endless Night sword technique to its fullest extent. Inky-black sword intent erupted forth, and it was as if night had suddenly fallen across their battlefield.
In the next instant.
Holy light tore through the darkness.
Michael’s light sword clashed violently with the Evil-Slaying Sword, and a sharp screeching sound erupted from the grating sword blades!
An Lin felt as if the holy light sword was like a tumbling tsunami, and his body was blasted back like a cannonball by its overwhelming force before crashing heavily to the ground.
Boom!
An Lin’s body razed half of a small mountain to the ground.
His blood churned within his body before trickling from the corners of his lips.
His body of the War God had been restricted, so his defenses definitely were not enough to keep up with Michael’s attacks.
An Lin had been forced onto the back foot after their first clash!
Before An Lin had a chance to catch his breath, Michael flew toward him again as his holy light sword came crashing down.
Whoosh!
A holy light sword projection tore through the earth.
A white figure was knocked flying again by the sword projection.
Michael spread his wings and continued to give chase.
All of a sudden, his expression shifted, and he immediately changed his flight direction.
On the original course he was taking, a series of golden balls suddenly appeared before exploding violently.
Boom boom boom…
Energy exploded and gale-force winds swept forth, making the onlooker’s flesh crawl.
Michael heaved a faint sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had reacted in the nick of time. Otherwise, that would have been quite dangerous.
He turned toward a man nearby who was handsome enough to rival him.
“To think that you’re able to conceal your dao of explosion with a spell formation you set up in advance. I have to admit that you’re a freakish explosive prodigy!” Michael praised.
An Lin was astonished.
What? Freakish explosive prodigy?
Xuanyuan Cheng retorted with an enraged expression, “I’m no freakish explosive prodigy, and my dao is not explosion! It is a manifestation of the yang power of my Myriad Spirit Taichi!”
“Oh.” Michael nodded with an unconvinced expression.
Xuanyuan Cheng: “…”
After that slight lull in the battle, An Lin was finally able to catch his breath.
He was just hesitating about whether to use that technique when an extremely powerful pillar of light sped through the air, crashing toward Michael!
Michael reacted extremely quickly and evaded the pillar of light through the use of wraith-like movement techniques.
“Holy f*ck! This Kayle the Righteous[1] sure can dodge! I can’t believe he managed to dodge my Final Spark!” an extremely pleasant voice sounded.
Holy Angel Michael: “???”
Who the hell was Kayle the Righteous?
