Chapter 1573 - The Spontaneous Explosion

Chapter 1573: The Spontaneous Explosion

The sun had already sunk below the horizon, and it was now nighttime.

The twin moons and countless stars hung high in the sky above.

The night sky was very clear.

A petite figure was surreptitiously approaching the miniature Mount Buzhou.

“So… so big…”

Her voice trembled as she wore an expression of astonishment on her flawless features.

The mountain was already extremely massive from afar.

Now that she was closer, it felt like this mountain was the entire world. The sky consisted of this mountain, the ground consisted of this mountain, everything consisted of this mountain!

It was so big that it struck despair into the onlooker’s heart!

She drew back her leg and kicked the mountain with her red high heels.

Bam bam bam…

“Holy crap, it’s so hard too! And it feels like the mountain is imbued with the power of law that keeps all attacks at bay. This is not good.” The young woman sighed with vexed expression. “How am I going to save that b*stard now?”

The young woman was none other than the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird.

She didn’t want to participate in the battle against the Heavenly Gods, but she couldn’t bear to see An Lin being buried alive. Her sense of responsibility as An Lin’s friend urged her to try and save An Lin.

However, she was immediately stumped after arriving at the miniature Mount Buzhou. The mountain was simply way too tall, way too big, and way too hard! Moving this mountain was nothing more than a distant dream!

The Vermilion Bird Princess blinked before her eyes lit up. “I can’t move the entire Mount Buzhou, but I can move it bit by bit!

“The Heavenly Mountain God’s power can only act upon the entire body, but it wouldn’t be concentrated in every small section. All I have to do is erode and chip away at it piece by piece and one day…”

She thought of the stories of Jing Wei filling the ocean and the foolish old man moving the mountain[1].

She was going to move the mountain by herself!

“Shameless An, you must be the luckiest man in the world to have a friend like me!” The Vermilion Bird Princess pursed her lips before turning her eyes upon Mount Buzhou again.

The most regal and most beautiful mythological beast of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation sprang into action. She unleashed a powerful earth merging technique to merge the massive mountain before her bit by bit into the ground behind her.

She was trying to move a mountain by herself as well, but she was much more powerful than the foolish old man in the story!

Each time she unleashed her spell technique, she was able to merge over a hundred million tons of the mountain into the ground, and there was only a ten-second cooldown interval in between each spell technique!

“Hmph… Shameless An, I’ll be able to rescue you from your dire situation soon!” The Vermilion Bird Princess could already envision her saving An Lin’s life again, upon which An Lin would treat her with the utmost reverence and even offer his body to her as repayment! She was getting a little excited just from thinking about it!

Just as she was getting carried away by her train of thought, a boundless fiery light suddenly erupted from the distance, creating an extremely sharp contrast with the darkness of the night.

The earth was trembling, and an insanely terrifying power that seemed to be capable of engulfing the entire world was quickly approaching!

The Vermilion Bird Princess raised her head and could only see a boundless golden light illuminated heaven and earth on the other side of the mountain before crashing heavily into the mountain, upon which a devastating and destructive power exploded forth!

“Ho-holy f*ck!”

Boom!

A golden cannon blast instantly lit up the entire world!

The cannon blast was imbued with extremely pure and explosive heaven crushing power, which completely tore through the miniature Mount Buzhou before shredding the massive mountain!

The Vermilion Bird Princess was given a true taste of what doomsday-like power felt like.

Power of this caliber had already transcended beyond her imagination as a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure.

This was undoubtedly by far the most devastating cannon blast she had ever seen!

“Ah…!” she suddenly screamed as she was also engulfed by the boundless fiery light even though she was situated on the other side of the mountain!

The explosive power of the mountain expanded like a golden supernova, engulfing the entire mountain in the blink of an eye before rising into the air with billions of tons of stone and dirt as part of a doomsday-like explosion…

This cannon blast gave everyone a massive fright.

The Heavenly Metal God stared at the explosion taking place in the distance while thinking to herself that she would be extremely severely wounded if not killed by such a devastating cannon blast.

The Heavenly Mountain God was even more astonished. “How could this be? My Mount Buzhou is imbued with massive amounts of my power. How could anyone be able to destroy it?”

The Celestial Thearch chortled with glee. “The power of our extermination team is unfathomable to the likes of you!”

The Heavenly Mountain God’s expression darkened even further upon hearing this.

Was the Celestial Thearch insisting on insulting it at every possible opportunity?

The bloodstained Celestial Thearch was like a god who would never fall as he pounced toward the Heavenly Mountain God again!

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Chen Chen and the Heavenly Earth God were still locked in an impasse.

Even though neither of them had unleashed any attacks, no one dared to enter the area within a five-hundred-kilometer radius around them.

The dazzling light of the explosion lit up the entire night sky.

The Heavenly Earth God’s amber-like body was illuminated by the vibrant lights, creating a beautiful spectacle to behold.

Even in the face of such an earth-shattering explosion, his expression remained unchanged.

It was as if nothing could possibly shake him.

Perhaps there really were very few things in this world that could evoke an emotional response within his heart. As one of the six paramount Heavenly Gods between heaven and earth, he had seen far too many things that were well beyond everyone’s imaginations.

Chen Chen stared at him. He was scrutinizing his every move when a smile suddenly appeared on his face. “I won’t be able to kill you.”

The Heavenly Earth God nodded in response. “I won’t be able to kill you either. You are as lowly and insignificant as dust, but it’s as if there is an entire universe within that speck of dust…”

Chen Chen was not surprised at all that his opponent could see through him. “There will be no victor emerging between you and me, but you will lose as all of your Heavenly Gods will die. I have won this battle.”

The Heavenly Earth God splayed his hands open. “Really? I beg to differ.”

Thus, the two of them began staring at each other again…

This was purely a battle of wills and words!

Beside the Heaven Crushing Cannon 2.0, all of the extermination team members combined their powers to create a defensive spell formation in order to keep the shockwaves from the cannon blast explosion at bay.

“It’s over! That cannon blast was way too terrifying! Giant An Lin is going to die!” Tina stared at the doomsday scene unfolding before her eyes, and her features had become deathly pale.

“Ahem…” Bai Ling cleared her throat to disguise her awkwardness as her gorgeous features were lit up by the fiery light from the explosion. “Don’t worry, An Lin is a man of great luck and fortune, so he’ll be fine!”

Sun Yuluo’s lips twitched. “That’s not what you said earlier.”

Yao Mingxi was astonished. “So Bai Ling was confident in An Lin’s thick skin a moment ago, only to resort to relying on An Lin’s luck and fortune now? Why the unsettling change?”

“It’s quite terrifying when you think about it…” Xiao Hong spoke in her sweet voice.

“Poor Holy Leader…” Cassidy had already burst into tears.

“Calm down, everyone! Can’t you see that Chen Chen still hasn’t reacted? This shows that An Lin is still safe!” Xuanyuan Cheng tried to console everyone by using his theory again.

Bai Ling turned toward Xuanyuan Cheng with an expression of approval.

Everyone: “…”

Since when did Chen Chen’s expression become an indicator for An Lin’s safety?!

What if he was just a psychopath with no emotional capacity?!
