Chapter 1866: An Invitation for Battle

All of the Spirit Fish Clan beauties splashing in the lake panicked after seeing Lan Xiaoni, and some of them had even dived into the water with only the air bubbles rising to the surface indicating their existence.

“Big Boss An Lin, these perverts didn’t do anything to do you, did they?” Lan Xiaoni sat down beside An Lin and asked in a gentle, mellow voice.

“Of course not. Your Big Boss is not someone that anyone can just do anything to!”

An Lin turned to look at Lan Xiaoni’s flawless features and her delectable, slender waist. She was curvy and slender in all the right places. Why would he need to sample other mermaids when he could just admire his own underling?

Lan Xiaoni set up a lounge chair beside An Lin and lay down lazily. Her gorgeous body unfurled on the chair as she turned toward An Lin with a hint of attachment in her eyes. “Big Boss An Lin, I heard that you’re leaving tomorrow?”

“I am. There are still things that need to be taken care of over at the sect. If anything happens in the West Sea, contact me via voice transmission talisman,” An Lin replied.

Lan Xiaoni nodded before looking silently up at the sky.

She had waited for him for over a hundred years, but they had to part once again after just a few days together.

“I really hope this war can end more quickly. I’m so exhausted. Being an alliance leader or whatever is no fun at all…” Lan Xiaoni heaved a forlorn sigh.

“Don’t worry, this war will be over very soon. My dream is to just become an ordinary cultivator and live a happy life with no conflict, no peril, and the occasional flex here and there.

“This dream will become a reality at the conclusion of the war against the Heavenly Human Tribe.”

An Lin felt like it was time to end this war, one way or another.

Lan Xiaoni’s eyes lit up. This was the first time she heard An Lin talk about his dreams, and his dreams suited her taste very well. “Big Boss An Lin, can I go flex with you at the conclusion of this war?”

An Lin was more than happy to have her come along for the flexing journey. “Of course!”

The next morning.

Lan Xiaoni bade farewell to An Lin on the Immortal Land Above Water.

An Lin set off to return to the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

This trip to the West Sea had resulted in unimaginably bountiful rewards.

Firstly, he vanquished the Heavenly Weather God and Heavenly Poison God, thereby obtaining both of their powers. Secondly, he successfully perfected his five elemental cultivation method, thereby reaching the phenomenal success stage of his body of the War God and attained the Five Elemental Body, elevating his combat prowess to an extent that even he did not understand.

Lastly, he met with the Heavenly Sea God again and learned about his ambitious plan as well as establishing a confidential, cooperative relationship.

An Lin looked at the crystal in front of his chest, and he began to look forward to how things were going to develop from here. The other four paramount Heavenly Gods had to be destroyed anyway, so it couldn’t hurt to have the Heavenly Sea God help him with that endeavor.

As for whether he would allow the Heavenly Sea God to take complete control of the Heavenly Dao, that could wait until after the other four paramount Heavenly Gods were dead.

He couldn’t help but feel like things were progressing too smoothly.

He had obtained so much recently that it felt like he was getting whatever he wanted.

An Lin looked up into the sky. Could it be that he was being blessed by the heavens?

He was a man that was going to crush the heavens, so why did the heavens bless him?

Were the heavens retarded?!

“Atchoo!”

The Heavenly Life Goddess sat on a branch of the divine tree and abruptly sneezed.

“Ha… That’s awkward… I’ve been called a retard…”

She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear with a smile on her face.

“An Lin has become a lot more powerful, so our efforts were not in vain,” a voice suddenly sounded in the sky.

“How powerful is he now?” the Heavenly Life Goddess asked.

“He is invincible below paramount Heavenly Gods. As for specific statistical values… I can’t calculate those for now. I’ll have to see him in a battle to get an accurate gauge…” the Heavenly Heaven God replied.

“Can he force a paramount Heavenly God into unleashing their True Form of Dao?” the Heavenly Life Goddess asked.

“That’s definitely impossible.” The Heavenly Heaven God gave a quick reply, “The True Form of Dao is the ultimate power for us paramount Heavenly Gods. We will only unleash it in an absolutely dire situation, and An Lin does not have what it takes to force us into using it yet…”

“So how is he useful in any way?” The Heavenly Life Goddess was a little displeased.

“We only need him to temporarily oppose the Heavenly Heaven God. I believe An Lin is capable of doing that at the very least,” the Heavenly Heaven God replied.

A faint smile appeared on the Heavenly Life Goddess’ face. “That’s true. As long as Light, Earth, and Sea are killed or severely wounded, no one would be able to stop us. Hopefully, the climax of the war will arrive soon, and hopefully, the outcome won’t be a disappointing one.”

…

An Lin returned to the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

Several thousand disciples were once again gathered outside the gate, chanting in unison to welcome the triumphant return of their sect leader.

“For God’s sake, Bai Ling, how are you able to predict my return in advance every time?” An Lin looked on with an exasperated expression at the sight of the enthusiastic disciples below.

A woman in white with a hint of a smile on her face made her way over to him. “You know nothing about the power of science, so there’s no point in explaining anything to you.”

An Lin: “…”

“By the way, how did your trip go this time?” Bai Ling asked.

“It was alright. I killed two Heavenly Gods,” An Lin replied nonchalantly.

All of the disciples were astonished upon hearing this.

The sect leader was so badass!

Every time he went out, it was always to destroy a Heavenly Gate or kill Heavenly Gods, or even do both at once! They felt like killing a Heavenly God or two was as simple as eating and drinking to him, and he was so dazzling that the disciples were about to be blinded.

It really was worth the effort to gather together and welcome him every time. He would always provide news that completely reinvigorated them.

An Lin was the hero of their dreams!

Even Bai Ling’s cheeks became flushed with excitement upon hearing this, and her eyes lit up. “Really? That’s so impressive! Which two Heavenly Gods did you kill?”

“I’ll tell you during our conference.” An Lin raised his head with a proud smile.

Bai Ling pursed her lips upon hearing this. He was clearly just trying to gather everyone during the conference so that he had more people to flex to!

“Oh, by the way, there’s something I have to tell you.” Bai Ling suddenly recalled something.

“What is it?” An Lin asked.

“Someone has extended an invitation to you for a sparring match.” A mysterious smile appeared on Bai Ling’s face.

“Hmm? Sparring match?” An Lin suddenly became quite excited. “Who is it?”

He was looking for someone to test his newfound power against, so this was ideal!

Bai Ling smiled. “He has already waited for you for three days on the drill ground.

“Oh, right, his name is the Battling Buddha!”
