“Evil Sword Technique, Eternal Night!”
An Lin immediately unleashed the most powerful strike that he could muster at this moment!
Darkness instantly engulfed heaven and earth in a circular form, transforming everything into void and nothingness. At the same time, this darkness also dragged the Heavenly Light Goddess into An Lin’s domain of darkness.
“Heavenly God Technique of Light, Eternal Light!” The corners of the Heavenly Light Goddess’ mouth curled up into a slight smile in what was a rare display. Immediately afterward, her Heavenly God Technique that was the antithesis of An Lin’s technique started to spread into the surroundings.
Boundless rays of light illuminated heaven and earth. Like rays of eternal light that could purify and liberate all matter, this light was both holy and eternal.
Boom!
Light and darkness collided with each other.
Everything vanished at the instant of collision, regardless of whether it was space or earth.
The beings in the Tai Chu Holy Land could only see eternal darkness and eternal light flashing through the sky.
These were two contrasting powers. In fact, the only similarity between them was their overwhelming might.
Even the five God of Creation Stage divine beings were blasted backward by the sudden and powerful shockwaves of the collision.
“Good heavens! Just how devastating is this power?”
“So powerful…”
The God of Creation Stage divine beings couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of apprehension as they watched the collision of light and darkness in the sky. This was a paramount power that exceeded their understanding and imagination. This was much like a legendary battle that would occur before the birth of a world. The person who won would gain the right to rule over the entire paramount Heavenly Dao.
Even the God of Creation Stage divine beings felt like this, so it didn’t come as much of a surprise that the beings inside the Holy Land were trembling in terror. When had they ever witnessed such a terrifying sight before? It was as if the world were about to be destroyed. Even the protection of the light barrier didn’t give them any sense of safety.
Just a moment ago, the White Emperor had still been chortling with laughter and ridiculing the God of Creation Stage divine beings as weaklings. However, in the very next instant, he was completely engulfed and obliterated by the clashing powers of light and darkness.
When his head resurrected again… the restrictions finally gave him the rest of his body as well. This was quite surprising.
Anyhow, he appeared extremely disheveled as he frantically fled from the battlefield.
The collision between the eternal darkness and eternal light gradually neared a conclusion.
An Lin’s darkness was ultimately unable to pierce through the defense of the Heavenly Light Goddess’ light.
The light before him was already dim, yet hundreds of millions of rays were stacked together to form a spherical light barrier that protected the Heavenly Light Goddess. This was an insane protective barrier that would make one feel despair.
A radiant smile spread across the Heavenly Light Goddess’ face as she stood within this light barrier. Raising her hand at the sky, she summoned a matter that neither one’s eye nor one’s divine sense could detect. This was a paramount matter that enveloped all matter.
“An Lin… do you think that my plan will fail just because you snatched several of the Heavenly Books?
“Naive, how incredibly naive.
“These Heavenly Books all contain the Heavenly Dao. Just as ten Heavenly Books contain Fragments of the Heavenly Dao, one Heavenly Book also contains a Fragment of the Heavenly Dao. Thus, the Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao that I wish to forge can still be made!”
A golden column of light that soared through heaven and earth suddenly materialized in the Heavenly Light Goddess’ raised hand. Like numerous swooping dragons, arcs of golden lightning flashed through this column of light.
Heaven and earth started to tremor.
Golden light started to permeate through heaven and earth.
An Lin instantly had an ominous feeling, and he immediately raised his sword to slash at the Heavenly Light Goddess. However, his attack was easily blocked by her insanely powerful light barrier.
“Awaken! My Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao!” the Heavenly Light Goddess roared. Not only did heaven and earth tremor, but even the Tai Chu Holy Land which hadn’t changed appearance for hundreds of millions of years started to violently tremor.
The White Emperor spread his arms apart in excitement as he bathed in this boundless sea of light. “Hahaha! It’s here, it’s finally here! We can finally be liberated from this deplorable world!”
At this moment, a fist suddenly streaked over and furiously smashed into his face.
Boom!
The White Emperor’s face was beaten black and blue again, and he couldn’t laugh anymore.
“Liberated? If you want to die, then die by yourself. Don’t drag the rest of the beings of the Tai Chu Holy Land down with you!” Liu Jin was furious as he glowered at this majestic and holy-looking Holy Angel.
“Am I seeking death? No, this isn’t seeking death!” the White Emperor exclaimed as he shook his head. His eyes suddenly became dim, and his skin suddenly started to dry up and wrinkle. However, his eyes still possessed a sense of limitless yearning as he gazed at the columns of golden light that soared through heaven and earth. “We’ve already maintained this human yet ghost-like form for far too long…
“Can you imagine the feeling of loneliness that strikes when the world suddenly becomes empty and lifeless as you’re walking through the bustling streets? Can you imagine the feelings of helplessness and dullness that we feel as we’re trapped in this tiny and unchanging cage for tens of thousands of years?”
The White Emperor glanced at his body that appeared and disappeared intermittently. He smiled and said, “Can this form of existence and this kind of body be referred to as life? We died long ago… We’re nothing but a bunch of lost and lonely ghosts…
“No… even ghosts have a stronger sense of existence than us…
“We can only change our essence and corrupt ourselves to struggle on in this world. Our form of living has become unlike living, and I have become unlike me…
“Rather than continuing down this depraved path, it’s better that we chase after the true rays of light…”
The White Emperor was completely intoxicated as he looked at the rays of light that were becoming thicker and brighter.
Not only him, but some of the beings in the Tai Chu Holy Land also developed a mysterious sense of yearning and reliance toward that light. They had already given up on this world. Thus, upon seeing these rays of light that were filled with a boundless hope, they couldn’t help but want to rush over.
They wouldn’t mind even if they were transformed into particles of light.
In fact, numerous beings fell to their knees and clasped their hands together as they prayed to the light.
Upon seeing this, An Lin felt as if he had become the evil antagonist.
However, he still imbued his Heavenly Darkness Power onto his sword and slashed at the Heavenly Light Goddess. Waves of darkness started to furiously engulf the powerful light barrier.
The Heavenly Light Goddess seemed prepared for this, and she had already gathered countless amounts of power into this seemingly invincible light barrier. An Lin wouldn’t be able to destroy it any time soon.
It was also at this moment that a gaping hole suddenly appeared in the light barrier above the first region. This was a light barrier that hadn’t changed state ever since its existence.
Immediately afterward, a peculiar fluctuation instantly swept over all of the beings in the first region.
The six million or so beings in the first region all started to violently shudder at this moment. The Library of Heavenly Books collapsed, and countless cracks appeared in the Holy Wing Tavern. Along with them, countless beautiful and exquisite buildings also crumbled into dust. Everything started to crumble and disappear, regardless of whether it was an ordinary matter or a living being…
The Heavenly Light Goddess made a grabbing motion, upon which a sword-shaped object started to materialize in her hand.
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Your final destination…
“Is light!”
The blade in her hand twisted.
Following this motion, the beings in the first region started to transform into particles of light before being engulfed by the strange blade in the Heavenly Light Goddess’ hand.
Some of the beings wore expressions of yearning as they welcomed the rays of light. However, most of the beings were resisting and fleeing. They roared in anger and unwillingness, and they hurled torrents of abuse at the White Emperor and the Heavenly Light Goddess…
Some of the main drawcards from the Holy Wing Tavern soared into the sky and tried to attack the Heavenly Light Goddess. Meanwhile, some of them were sobbing in despair as they reluctantly gazed at the crumbling city and vanishing beings.
However, these scenes were irreversible.
Everything was purified by the light.
Under the shocked gazes of the beings from the other regions, all of the beings in the first region of the Tai Chu Holy Land were transformed into particles of light and absorbed by the Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao. Even the city that had stood for countless tens of thousands of years was reduced to rubble and dust.
An Lin was wild with fury upon seeing this.
“Just look, will you! Is this the so-called future that you speak of?!
“Once you transform into light, you’ll become nothing! You’re nothing but nutrients for the Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao! Light isn’t hope!
“Only life is!”
An Lin’s voice was like rumbling thunder as it boomed through the entire Tai Chu Holy Land.
Some of the beings looked like they had awoken from a dream, while some of the beings refused to wake from this dream.. They continued to pursue the light in the sky, placing all of their hope and trust into that light. They were like penniless gamblers who wanted to gamble their lives away for a beautiful future that didn’t exist at all…
