At that moment, the spectral silhouette gazed at Vigilante A, who stood in mid-air like a God. Its eyes were tainted with boiling fury and bone-deep hatred that darkened significantly.
This was his number 1 hatchet man. The one who pursued the Path of Heavenly Punishment. Vigilante A.
If he was not born, and did not show up roaring across the horizon, it would never have the chance to be as unhurried and conceited as he was. It would have experienced endless pain and suffering during the process of its transition, and could even die prematurely!
Was there anyone else that deserved to die even more than this man?
No!
Thus, he must die!
The spectral silhouette suddenly levitated from atop the glacier, and transformed into a ball of red light that immediately flew deeper towards the night.
Now, this area of the sea was just like an enclosed space.
The full moon hung low in the sky, cloaked within the dark drapes of the night. The frosty air covered everyone in the area, sending a bone-piercing chill into their spines. It was as if a bleak, desolate blade cut through the air, sharp and unsheathed.
Meanwhile, the red ball of light that shot straight to the sky was merging into the moon within the enclosed space!
Subsequently, the full moon started flickering intermittently, with small tendrils of red light blinking in and out around the full moon, as if it were going through some sort of transformation.
However, Vigilante A remained unaffected, not taking any action. Instead, he stood mid-air, silently watching the changes taking place on the full moon that hung above him.
Tianjing Fawang's eyebrows frowned deeply in worry.
"?Lama?1?, what technique is this evil thing using?" asked Old Master Ma. At this critical moment, he no longer cared if he exposed his ignorant self.
"Divine Unity..." Fawang muttered slowly, but was soon puzzled."Why isn't the Venerable One trying to interrupt its transformation process? I don't understand. We're not shooting a movie, there's no reason for us to wait for a full transformation before we release our major attacks..."
A hissing sound was heard from Monastery Master Ma. He did not even catch the second part of the old monk's reply, despite how 'in-trend' the answer seemed. ?2
Listening to the first two words was enough to surprise him to the extent that his whisk nearly fell from his hands.
This nefarious devil with a vague and illusory appearance ha dattained such a great state even if it was not in his final form! Once its transformation has completed and it finally stabilized, how strong would it be then?
"Since it chose its battlefield here, the Heavenly Axiom in this realm should be able to restrict its power substantially, right?" Old Master Ma asked, a tinge of hope in his voice.
Distress painted the wrinkly face of Fawang that looked like a shriveled up orange. The old man shook his head.
"As long as the night stays, its power will not be restricted."
"How powerful is it now?" Old Master Ma refused to give up.
"If we were to follow the standards of Vigilante A, I would place it as above Inland-Sea level, at least." Fawang's tone was sombre.
"So that is true. The Heavens are still looking out for us. No wonder I've been getting warnings from my divination reading that only the Spirit Bear could hold its ground against it. I've heard that the Spirit Bear is also an Inland-Sea level..." Old Master Ma muttered in response as he moved his eyes upwards to consider the Divine Gate in the sky.
"It seems like even the Heavenly Axiom of this realm thinks that the Venerable Dragon God cannot not handle it at this point in time." Fawang nodded, his eyebrows forming a deeper frown.
"I have relayed an emergency message to the top brass for them to wake the Spirit Bear immediately. The Spirit Bear would probably arrive soon. We will only need to persevere for a while more, " encouraged Old Master Ma.
The only one left to withstand the situation was the Lama. There was no way he would let demotivation affect the Lama...
Meanwhile, Fang Ning was observing the rare occasion where Sir System remained on standby when a battle was going on. Even though he would not dare to interrupt the battle genius in its fight, but there was an issue that he must bring up to the System. Carefully and softly, Fang Ning asked, "Can you talk?"
"Fire away, " Sir System did not care in the least.
"Since you are free enough to be on standby, could you put the corpses of the two dolphins into the System Preservation Area? They're dead anyways, and their souls were no longer contained in their body. Living things will die if they entered the System Space, but their bodies would probably have no problem getting in. The System Preservation Area could stop the passing of time, so the problem of the inability of revival due to prolonged time of death could be avoided entirely."
"Hmm, good call, Sir Big Spender. I've completely forgotten about the two dolphins while I was waiting for that fellow to finish its transformation. Both of the big dolphins had great endowment and natural, inborn talent. We should not waste such great ingredients for our cooking." Sir System gasped in realization
.
Fang Ning wilted internally, feeling an urge to cry but no tears came. For the first time, he spoke with an aggravated voice."Don't pull that b*llshit on me. I'm still looking to revive their body and resurrect them."
"Oh, what a waste. You're just too soft. Hold on, this cannot go on. There will be countless more violent and miserable incidents in the future, so you better start getting used to it. Your days of being contented and unmoving like a dried, salted fish are coming to an end soon anyway." Sir System reminded him.
Fang Ning watched Sir System stretch the hands of Vigilante A, and with a wave, the 4 broken pieces of dolphin corpse that were grabbed by Twelve Arms entered the System Preservation Area. Twelve Arms seemed to not notice the change as it was still stunned by the previous happenings.
Fang Ning heaved a small sigh of relief, but still felt a hint of dread clawing on him. That was a feeling that had disappeared long ago, and the last time he could remember feeling so was last year, when the System was still weak and feeble. At that time, Fang Ning was still quite wary and strived to make progress. Nowadays, he was getting number and number as time passes.
Thankfully, he was still seized by Sir System. That fellow never knew the concept of procrastination...
In its dictionary, there was no such entry as 'rest'.
If that was not so, his constant procrastination and fluctuating work ethic would have caused him to be left behind by the large amount of geniuses who worked as hard as they could all this time.
///
As Fang Ning was busy being grateful about Sir System, a great number of people have gathered outside of the Divine Gate.
At the first step of the Divine Gate, a huge bear towering at 2 to 3 hundred meters was leaning on the step, fast asleep. Its snores shook even the skies.
"Sir Frog, please wake the Spirit Bear up..."
The people were shouting to the interior of the Divine Gate. After Vigilante A and the great green insect had completed the challenge, the green-skinned frog left its everlasting mark on the hearts of the people.
They were talking about a Divine Monument's sapient tool here, who was basically the?blood-related son of the Axiom Daddy. ?3
The green frog appeared at the third step of the Stairway. It croaked for a while, then switched to human speech after it saw the confused faces of the people. Its tone was filled with despise.
"I have no authority to wake them up. It's either the Divine Gate closes, or we get out of this ourselves."
"If that's the case, please close the Divine Gate quickly, Sir Frog..."
"No can do, " said the green frog as it shook its head."Once the Divine Gate has opened, it will only close itself after one month has passed. I have no authority to close the Gate either."
"What can we do then?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice exclaimed, "Look, Sir Spirit Bear seems like its waking up!"
All eyes snapped unanimously in one direction. The great white bear rolled around to stretch, scratched its ears with its big fat paws. Low grumbles were heard.
"There's work again? Welp, let's go to sleep then."
After a great turn and a change of posture, it fell asleep again once more...
The people could do nothing but stare, their mouths agape in shock. It seems like someone updated the Spirit Bear of the issue at hand, but it actually ignored the news entirely! What should they do now?
"Indeed, the Venerable Dragon God is the only one dependable during critical times. Ability is secondary; it's the person's character that counts!"
That was the thought of everyone present.
When there was a comparison present, the people were left with a complicated feeling as they looked down to the night below. The dark veil split when lightning struck across the sky, and in its wake, a godly form appeared, and with it came a comforting sense of security.
However, could he be ever triumphant as always, when facing this devil that had the power to even change the skies? Could he still be victorious this time?
When the people were still busy contemplating the questions, the scene under the night changed abruptly!
That bright, white moon that looked like a pretty silver platter was no more. Now, it was bright red, as if doused in blood!
Everyone knew that a thunderstorm was brewing. Some were terrified, some were afraid, while some tried to silently escape.
All of a sudden, all clans and races around the Divine Gate were trying to seek an escape route, as if a disaster was quickly approaching.
Everyone, except for a group of animals. This group of animals acted differently than the rest.
"This is bad! We have to go and rescue Master!" Brett the Black Dog was the first to bark loudly.
The Yellow Dog was startled after it heard the Black Dog. With Xue Ba's intelligence and insight, there was no doubt how terrifyingly powerful the devil above was! Still, it looked at the white Labrador beside. When they exchanged looks, they walked over to the Black Dog, and stood by it silently.
Similarly, the Sky Eagle exchanged a look with the Golden Eagle. Even though it loved to fly freely, and had seldom showed up near the Vigilante A. It was still an eagle that knew of loyalty and the meaning of brotherhood. At this time, it would rather die than to cower and escape.
If it died, it could still become a Ghost Deity as it was worshipped by the souls in the Draconic Penitentiary. If it cowered, it would not be able to get past the heart barrier as a result of this event. Its path of godhood will be no more.
At the back of the Black Dog, the great green insect was asking the white hamster for more of the endless chestnuts that somehow appeared in its hands. When the great green insect heard of the discussion, it paused its movements and said, "Count me in. I can't let the Great Azure Dragon die. If he died, there wouldn't be such a great backup meal ticket anymore."
The white hamster nodded as well. Its present identity was Bai Ruocang, one of the only two survivors of the Bai family.
In this difficult and dangerous times, it could only live with such ease due to the protection of the Venerable One. It could even spend its days by chewing on unknown chestnuts...
Zheng Dao the Butler, however, stood and spoke to his fellow colleagues in a serious tone."Be quiet, everyone. My heart is with you, but at this point in time, we must believe in the Venerable One. We should not act blindly. With my Soul Sense, I can feel that the Venerable One is still as confident as always. If we were to assist him without further consideration, we might then become his weakness..."
Even though the black dog seemed to be dissatisfied, it only grumbled but did not complain. On the other hand, the yellow dog nodded in agreement. Looking back at the previous battles, when did it become necessary for them, Vigilante A's eagles and dogs, to join and fight?
Aside from the planned group attacks, the Venerable One would never allow them to join the battleground. The Venerable One's attack rhythm was too quick for them to catch up!
If it was not a premeditated attack, it was basically impossible for them to successfully match up to the Venerable One.
As the thought shriveled, its eyes hardened again, shining with determination. With the Venerable One's stellar track record and the ever-victorious battle history that flashed before its eyes, the yellow dog's confidence recovered. Once again, it started to goof off...
