Chapter 1661: The Terrifying Death Formation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Heavenly Life God?

Everyone faltered upon hearing this before coming to a sudden realization.

In this world, only a being with mastery over life could set up such a terrifyingly powerful death formation. After all, life and death were always interconnected.

The best doctors knew how to kill someone most efficiently.

The best pharmacist would also be the most well-versed in poison.

The more understanding one had toward life, the more they would be able to control death!

As such, it made sense that the Heavenly Life God had set up this formation.

The only thing that was strange here was that the Heavenly Life God indirectly opposed the Heavenly Human Tribe due to their conflicting ideals, so why would it help the Heavenly Human Tribe set up this formation? An Lin had actually thought about the same thing back when the Heavenly Heaven God had appeared to help the other Heavenly Gods. However, he knew that this was not the time to think about something like this.

“Chen Chen, do you have a way to break this formation?” An Lin asked.

If anyone here could combat the power of the paramount Heavenly God, then it was Chen Chen.

An Lin had witnessed Chen Chen’s battle against the Heavenly Earth God in person. The fact that Chen Chen had managed to gain the upper hand over the Heavenly Earth God indicated just how terrifyingly powerful he was.

If this was revealed to the public, the entire world would be in shock.

However, Chen Chen explicitly requested for An Lin and the others to keep this a secret.

Chen Chen’s brows furrowed slightly as he shook his head. “Not yet. This formation set up by the Heavenly Life God is extremely intricate, yet the laws within the formation itself are extremely powerful. If I was to try and dismantle it recklessly, it could quite possibly result in dire consequences… It will take me quite some time to completely analyze it.”

Everyone was slightly disappointed upon hearing this.

However, it made sense when they thought about it. This was a formation set up by a paramount Heavenly God. If Chen Chen could instantly dismantle it, then the Heavenly Life God should probably be stripped of its title as a paramount Heavenly God.

Chen Chen continued to analyze how to dismantle this formation.

An Lin and the others unleashed a few spell techniques toward the formation, all of which quickly disappeared like the snowflakes without any exception.

The only difference was that more powerful spell techniques took a slightly longer time to disappear.

A thought occurred to An Lin as a golden lightning divine halo appeared above his head. At the same time, a bolt of Golden Void Lightning capable of tearing through everything descended from the sky before crashing down upon the formation.

Everyone’s attention was attracted by that bolt of lightning.

They could sense the power to destroy all things within that bolt of lightning. This was the power of paramount Golden Void Lightning, and it could pulverize all things into nothingness.

Boom!

The Golden Void Lightning fell with terrifying force, but it was quickly whittled down upon entering the formation from a massive lightning dragon, to a lightning snake, then to a worm, before finally disappearing…

Even lightning imbued with the power of a Heavenly God was unable to make a difference.

An Lin was quite disappointed upon seeing this. The bolt of lightning did manage to travel about ten times further than everyone else’s spell techniques, but that didn’t really change anything.

However, Chen Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up upon seeing this.

He turned toward An Lin. “Your power may not be able to destroy the power of the Heavenly Life God, but it should be able to at least create a disruption effect. When your Golden Void Lightning fell, it sent a ripple running through the death formation, and I saw something different when that happened. I think I know how to break this formation now!”

An Lin was very excited. “Then do it!”

“I need your help.” Chen Chen pointed to the small, pristine white palaces near the Northern Heavenly Gate. “Can you use your lightning to destroy those palaces?”

An Lin was slightly taken aback by this request. There were a dozen or so intricate palaces near the Northern Heavenly Gate, which was probably where the Heavenly Human Tribe lived, but they should be empty now, so what was the point of attacking them?

He had just unleashed a bolt of Golden Void Lightning, and it did not reach as far as what would be required to reach those palaces. If he wanted to reach those palaces, the lightning would have to travel at least thirty percent further.

An Lin took a deep breath. “I’ll do my best!”

Boom!

An extremely powerful aura began to proliferate forth.

Countless bolts of dazzling Golden Void Lightning erupted from An Lin’s body, weaving between one another to form a Golden Void Lightning Cloak, which settled over his body, making him appear as if he were the monarch of all lightning.

His eyes turned pure golden, and paramount lightning might erupted into the heavens.

An Lin raised a finger to the sky, and divine lightning surged in the sky.

His divine halo glowed with a scintillating light, summoning the most formidable lightning between heaven and earth.

Crack crack crack…

Space crumbled.

A bolt of dazzling lightning fell from the sky.

Its tip was as sharp as that of a sword, and pure yang energy converged toward the blade of the sword.

This divine lightning was not only imbued with An Lin’s heavenly lightning power, but also his paramount observations of the sword dao. It was an impeccable weapon of destruction both in terms of power and sharpness.

An Lin pointed his finger toward the group of small palaces in the distance.

The lightning fell!

Space exploded violently.

Golden lightning tore through the entire heavens, illuminating the entire world with a golden light.

The red snowflakes within a radius of several hundred kilometers were instantly pulverized by the energy fluctuations erupting from the lightning.

The Golden Void Lightning was like a heavenly sword falling upon this world, crashing directly into the invisible death formation!

Boom!

The two powers of the Heavenly Gods combated one another.

This was a clash between An Lin’s heavenly lightning power and the power of the Heavenly Life God.

The Golden Void Lightning Sword crashed down with unstoppable force.

However, the omnipresent power of death was quickly chipping away at the Golden Void Lightning!

An Lin’s heavenly lightning power was decidedly inferior.

It seemed to have become a living being whose life cycle had been accelerated. Not only was its power being weakened, but even its speed was decelerating at a rate perceptible to the naked eye.

At this rate, the lightning was not going to be able to strike those palaces.

An Lin focused his gaze and unleashed his Lightning Amplification Technique.

Boom!

The Golden Void Lightning seemed to have taken performance-enhancing drugs as its power elevated explosively and it also accelerated.

Immediately afterward, the Golden Void Lightning, which had been whittled down to the size of a worm, crashed down upon the palace. Even though the Golden Void Lightning appeared to be extremely feeble and insignificant, the power from its explosion still managed to instantly reduce the entire palace to dust.

No matter how much An Lin’s Golden Void Lightning was whittled down, it was still imbued with the paramount power of a Heavenly God and was not something a mere palace could stand up against.

After the palace exploded, the lightning continued to wreak havoc, but it was soon destroyed by the power of the death formation.

An Lin looked at the scenes presented before his eyes, and he was momentarily stunned.

Xu Xiaolan, Dongfang Zhuangshi, and the Celestial Thearch were also given a fright.

There was a Heavenly Human standing like a statue within the destroyed palace.

Its entire body had been charred black by the lightning strike, and its clothes were strewn in ribbons all over the floor. Its eyes had rolled over into its head, and its mouth was agape with no hint of vitality left within its body.

“This… this is a Heavenly Human Tribe Great General?” Xu Xiaolan was shocked.

“I thought no life could possibly exist in this death formation. What a surprise…” The Celestial Thearch was also amazed.

However, Chen Chen seemed to have predicted this already. “Life and death are relative states to one another. In order to maintain balance in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, there must be a core of life within a realm of absolute death like this. That Heavenly Human Tribe Great General must’ve undertaken that role. Now that the core has been destroyed, the formation has been thrown out of balance, and it is the perfect time for us to destroy it!”

He waved a hand through the air as he spoke. A peculiar white light enshrouded the space within a radius of over a thousand kilometers. It was like an extremely vast mountain crashing down upon the death formation!

Boom!

Something seemed to have been crushed and cracked open explosively.

Red snowflakes fell upon the earth unimpeded.

Black winds swept toward the Northern Heavenly Gate.

The invisible death formation had been destroyed!
