novelPitiful Heavenly Fire God
| ← Ch.1833 | Ch.1835 → |
An ominous feeling welled up in the Heavenly Gods' hearts.
"It can't be, right? The Heavenly Game God has just been killed, and we can't contact the Heavenly Fire God now? Is he still alive? If he's alive, then why isn't he replying?" The male Heavenly God who had a giant saber strapped to his back was extremely anxious.
"The space around the Heavenly Fire God has been sealed off by some power, " the lark replied grimly."I'm unable to reach him using my Skyheart Net..."
"It's very likely that the Heavenly Fire God has come across an enemy, " the Heavenly God who was shrouded in dark shadows said solemnly."Moreover, his enemy is definitely very strong. After all, they're even able to hinder the Skyheart Net of the Heavenly Evolution God. Also, the Heavenly Fire God and Heavenly Game God are located in different regions, so their enemies definitely aren't the same person."
"Who on earth is it?" some unseen being asked.
At this moment, the furious voice of the Heavenly Light Goddess traveled over.
"Very well... Since you've appeared, then don't blame me for being cruel and merciless!
"You've forced me to do this..."
The expressions of the Heavenly Gods all changed upon hearing the Heavenly Light Goddess' utterances. This enemy was even able to infuriate the Heavenly Light Goddess! They were definitely no ordinary being.
"Heavenly Light Goddess, who on earth is targeting the Heavenly Fire God?" the lark asked curiously.
"It's Chen Chen..."
A distant and barely discernible voice traveled over.
"I'm heading out for a while."
A ray of light suddenly streaked through the sky in the east and shot toward the Tai Chu Continent.
...
"Wow... Are these the ruins of the Holy Glacial Lands' Number One Holy Palace?
"Would you look at that! The extreme conditions of this place have already ravaged it to such an extent..."
A white-skinned male who was dressed in a black cloak and wearing a bamboo hat exclaimed in surprise as he looked at an orb of light before him. This orb of light possessed the immensely destructive power of the extreme cold.
"What a forlorn sight... This feeling, this scenery... Right now, all I want to do is recite a poem.
"The weather is bleak, and the north wind is cold. The thick gloominess wishes to brew snow, and the cloud couple is[1]—"
Beep, beep, beep...
The voice transmission talisman in the male's storage ring suddenly lit up with frantic pulses of light.
"Sigh... Why do people always interrupt me when I'm reciting poems?"
There was an exasperated look on the male's face as he picked up the voice transmission talisman. The voice that traveled over caused him to shiver involuntarily.
"An Lin, where are you right now?"
"Chen Chen, why are you suddenly calling me?"
"There's no time to explain. Hurry up and send your location to me. I'm going to give you a huge surprise!"
An Lin's heart jolted. A huge surprise?
Chen Chen's huge surprises are never too shabby, right?
An Lin was feeling quite excited, and he immediately sent his location to Chen Chen.
Fifteen minutes later...
A slightly frail figure appeared in the blustery snow.
"An Lin, why did you come to this kind of place?" Chen Chen asked in a calm and amiable voice.
He walked before the cloaked male. Then, upon seeing the jade-white body of the male, as well as the gigantic red cross on the male's face, he was slightly taken aback."What the hell are you doing?"
An Lin hurriedly transformed back into his original self. Then, he chuckled and said, "Nothing much. I just felt like impersonating someone else in order to draw out and kill the hidden Heavenly Gods."
A look of realization appeared on Chen Chen's face."Did you succeed?"
"I killed the Heavenly Game God, " An Lin replied.
"Impressive." Chen Chen gave him a thumbs-up.
Meanwhile, An Lin saw that the male before him had a rectangular black object strapped to his back. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's that strapped to your back?"
"Oh, I captured a Heavenly God, " Chen Chen replied indifferently. He unstrapped the rectangular black object and placed it onto the ground.
An Lin: "..."
Chen Chen opened the rectangular object. Inside it lay a red-haired male who had a crimson divine halo above his head. He struggled with all his might, yet the golden ropes that bound him held him firmly in place.
"This is the Heavenly Fire God, and he's my huge surprise for you. Do you like it?"
The male smiled faintly as he looked at An Lin.
An Lin's mouth gaped open in astonishment as he looked at the struggling Heavenly Fire God.
"Y-yes..."
He had never dreamed that someone would actually give him a Heavenly God as a present.
Was this a pleasant surprise?
Of course! This was an immensely pleasant surprise!
This Heavenly Fire God was exactly what he needed. He had just told himself that not everything would go according to his wishes and that it was best to let nature run its own course. Yet, a short while later, Chen Chen had come to gift him the Heavenly Fire God.
This "natural" event had occurred far too soon! This Heavenly Fire God was fated to become his prey!
"To tell you the truth, I've been eager to capture this Heavenly Fire God for a long time." There was a look of fervent excitement in An Lin's eyes.
"I know..." To An Lin's surprise, it seemed as if everything was within Chen Chen's expectations.
"The heavenly god powers that you can absorb are all related to the fundamental elements of the world. Following that logic, you should be able to absorb the heavenly god powers that are related to the five fundamental elements. Thus, I've also had my eyes on the Heavenly Fire God for a long time." There was a smile on Chen Chen's face as he explained this.
An Lin was extremely moved."Chen Chen, you're such a good person."
"Mmph..." The Heavenly Fire God struggled in vain inside the rectangular black object. There was a look of fury and terror in his eyes.
There was an extremely powerful seal on him, and even his ability to speak had been stripped away from him.
"Don't waste any more time, " Chen Chen urged."My activities have definitely alarmed the paramount Heavenly Gods. Hurry up and kill the Heavenly Fire God."
An Lin was even more moved upon hearing this. Chen Chen had risked being attacked by the paramount Heavenly Gods in order to capture the Heavenly Fire God for him. This kind of favor was brimming with a feeling of friendship and affection.
"Alright!" An Lin nodded.
He unsheathed his Evil-Slaying Sword without any hesitation.
Then, he slashed a series of deadly sword projections toward the defenseless Heavenly Fire God.
Rip! Rip! Rip!
Blood sprayed through the air.
Every single one of An Lin's sword strikes was imbued with his most powerful Heaven Crushing True Intent.
"Mmph!!!" The Heavenly Fire God wanted to scream in pain. However, the seal on his body prevented him from doing so.
Plunge in, pull out, plunge in, pull out, plunge in, pull out...
Just like that, An Lin mercilessly stabbed the Heavenly Fire God tens of thousands of times.
Bam!
Following a crisp cracking sound, the Heavenly Fire God's divine halo exploded into countless specks of light.
An expression of torment and resentment was still frozen on his face.
In the very next instant, however, his body also burst into a ball of flames before disappearing from the world.
An Lin exhaled softly. He still wore a slightly dazed expression on his face.
The Heavenly Fire God died just like that?
He felt like he needed to apologize to the Heavenly Game God.
The Heavenly Fire God was the Heavenly God who he had killed the most effortlessly...
Not only did he not shed a single drop of blood or sweat, but he didn't even need to activate a single enhancement technique! He had killed the Heavenly Fire God merely by repeating the same action over and over again.
That's right! In less than an hour, the Heavenly Fire God had forced An Lin to swallow his own words. He proved that there was no easiest battle, only easier battles!
Boom!
The system in An Lin's mind rumbled violently.
A huge amount of information regarding the true intent of fire surged into An Lin's mind. It was as though the gigantic Fire Dao Realm was going to drown out and engulf his entire consciousness.
[Congratulations, host! Your Wings of True Fire has progressed to the third stage. [Congratulations, host! Your Wings of True Fire has progressed to the fourth stage.
[Congratulations, host! Your Wings of True Fire has progressed to the fifth stage...
[Congratulations, host! Your Wings of True Fire has progressed to the ninth stage.
[You have received the Heavenly Fire Power. ]
Messages continually popped up on the system interface as the boundless true intent of fire surged into An Lin's body.
An Lin instantly gained the most fundamental understanding of this world's fire element.
His eyes became extremely bright, and Chen Chen felt like they were more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
"Have you succeeded?" Chen Chen asked.
An Lin smiled and replied, "Of course."
