Chapter 1182: The Divinity Slayer

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The lightning and thunder continued to shake the skies. The closer that Yi Chan got to the World-Destroying Sky Thunder Formation, the scarier the attacks sounded. If she had not shut down her hearing abilities, she might have already passed out by now. The lightning kept striking the palace from the array formation. The constant attacks were causing the surrounding air to stir as if burnt by lightning as well.

The closer Yi Chan got to the array, the more intense the pressure became as well, threatening to reach maximum levels. Anyone, including Demigods, would naturally tremble upon getting close. Their essence force would stir and be messed up as well. Naturally, they would retreat and save themselves.

Yi Chan wanted to do exactly that as well, but there was a stronger motivation in her heart that kept pushing her forward. Like a moth to a flame, she rushed toward the array formation. Although she felt her essence force becoming messed up, she did not stop.

One thousand five hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters… one hundred and fifty meters!

Tsk! Tsk!

The lightning in the array formation sensed Yi Chan’s presence. A few sparks flew toward her, sticking onto her body and causing her to tremble. Pain shot through her body, and her eyebrows scrunched up together. Anyone who saw her in this state would feel heartache for her.

Yi Chan was exceptionally beautiful. Her features were fine, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Anyone would normally want a piece of her. Yet, at that moment, there was no color in her face whatsoever. There was no sign of life because once she was attacked by the lightning, she became sure of one thing: Her Heavenly Thunder True Body was not complete. She would not be able to withstand the power of the divine thunder and lightning.

“Charge…”

She muttered to herself. There was no turning back. All she could do was keep charging forward.

Tsk! Tsk!

More and more lightning sparks stuck to her body. Her own lightning bolts had been extinguished. Her perfect body began shaking uncontrollably, and her hair stuck out in all directions. She frowned even more deeply as her speed reduced. Still, she did not stop flying.

Sixty meters, thirty meters… ten meters!

She finally stopped. It was not that she wanted to. It was that her body could no longer take it. Even if she did have the Heavenly Thunder True Body, her body was a human one after all. The lightning and thunder were causing her essence force to be all messed up, and all her blood to flow back towards her heart. Her heart rate quickened, and her blood vessels threatened to burst. Even her soul was reeling from the impact.

“Ten meters. I can’t even get close to the thunder formation. I still thought about breaking it. Hehe! Jiang Yi, I cannot rescue you. I’m about to die. I wonder if you will still be the one to take my mask off in the next life.”

At that moment, Yi Chan forgot all the pain she was feeling. She forgot all about life and death. Her essence force continued to run haywire, and her body remained motionless. In front of her, more flashes of lightning shot toward her. Her body could no longer take the impact. She was going to be reduced to dust and ash.

Tsk! Tsk!

The lightning kept moving toward her. Yi Chan’s vision began to get blurry. She let out a sigh. It was a pity that she would not be able to see Jiang Yi for the last time before she died.

Buzz!

She suddenly saw the Mystic Divine Palace light up and reduce in size in front of her eyes. A figure dressed in black armor appeared in front of her. In his hands was a meter-long fiery red sword. He shot through the air and allowed the lightning and thunder to attack him!

Jiang Yi? Is this an illusion that’s appearing to me just before I die?

Yi Chan’s mind filled with one single thought. The image was too strange. How could Jiang Yi’s body resist the lightning attacks? Even she, with a Heavenly Thunder True Body, could not do so.

Tsk! Tsk!

At that exact moment, Yi Chan realized something extremely odd.

Through the fog clouding up her eyes, she saw the figure raise up his long sword and strike the air with it. The lightning from the formation got sucked into the sword—even the ones that had been shooting toward Yi Chan just a second ago.

Huff-Huff…

The winds seemed to change direction. The heaven and earth essence force surged toward the thunder formation. Yi Chan did not get attacked by lightning again. Her thinking cleared up, and her beautiful eyes widened. Her little lips parted, and she began to tremble, not believing her own eyes.

Tsk-Tsk!

Three huge fire dragons shot out of the figure’s sword. The three fire dragons did not look like phantoms—they were real fire dragons. Each one was three hundred meters long. A frightening suppressive force caused Yi Chan to guess that those three dragons were top-level demon sovereigns. They were True Dragon. The three dragons carried with them an earth-shattering power. They flew toward the purple array formation in the sky. The black figure rushed to her sight in a flash.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were three explosive sounds. Then, the array began to fall apart. The figure flew out of the way just in time. A palace appeared, and Yi Chan was dragged into it.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

The array was broken. There was a series of explosions. Nearby, the air seemed to be completely twisted. Huge cracks appeared in the sky, spreading into the distance. They went thousands of kilometers outward, causing everything standing in the way to be flattened and reduced to dust. The earth was flattened out. Dust filled the air for a radius of fifty kilometers. The explosive sounds echoed far away.

“Hahahaha!”

The winds kept raging, and the mountains kept shaking. The impact could flatten out mountains and break through thousands of miles of ground, and yet it had no effect whatsoever on that little black figure. He remained standing far away, laughing uncontrollably. The rage that he had been suppressing for a long time could finally be released.

“It’s broken! I broke the array! I finally made it out alive!”

The black figure kept shouting until the air around him settled. The cracks in the sky disappeared, and the dust settled onto the ground. There was mad excitement on his face. He looked at his Fire Dragon Sword and the Mystic Divine Armor with burning passion in his eyes. One would think that he was looking at his most beloved woman.

“This Divinity Slayer’s power is way too strong. How many stars did that dao pattern have? Seven or eight? With a dao pattern like that, I activated the Fire Dragon Sword even before becoming a Demigod. I also activated the Mystic Divine Armor without refining it? And… this Fire Dragon Sword is way too powerful. With just one move, it could break this sickening array. My skills are comparable to a martial artist of… how many stars?”

Jiang Yi had too many questions that he did not know the answer to. He had caused such a commotion. He was certain that scouts would be sent hot on his trail soon. The World-Destroying Sky Thunder Formation was destroyed. There was no more lightning and thunder. The scouts would catch up to him soon enough.

He had been stuck in the array for months. Jiang Yi was unsure about what had been happening outside during this time. Thus, he decided to conceal the Mystic Divine Palace and look for Yi Chan to clarify things before deciding his next move.

Tsk! Tsk!

The moment he entered the Mystic Divine Palace, he caused it to disappear into a crack in the sky using Heaven Evasion.

“Jiang Yi, is that really you? You’re really alive?”

Yi Chan had been thrown into the side hall with the three Heaven Paintings. She was still reeling from the attacks she had suffered, but her eyes filled with joy the moment she saw Jiang Yi. She tried to get to her feet.

Jiang Yi kept his Mystic Divine Armor. On seeing Yi Chan swaying around, unable to get to her feet, he rushed over and caught her. With a gentle voice, he asked, “Little Chan’er, I told you that I would come and marry you once I got the dowry ready.”

Yi Chan’s pale face flushed red immediately. She closed her eyes to rest for a split-second but ultimately could not contain the curiosity in her heard. She opened her eyes again and asked, “Jiang Yi, you have not broken through the Demigod realm. How did you activate these divine weapons? What’s more, the attack you used earlier was so frightening. What kind of dao pattern was that?”

Jiang Yi blinked. Slightly perplexed, he said, “I’m not quite sure yet. I studied one of the Heaven Paintings that the Mystic Thearch left behind and then realized this dao pattern. It’s called the Divinity Slayer?”

“Divinity Slayer? My goodness!”

Yi Chan’s body trembled as she exclaimed, “That is the Mystic Thearch’s strongest attack! It’s a nine-star dao pattern…”

Plop!

Jiang Yi stiffened. His two hands trembled. Yi Chan, whom he had been holding in his arms, dropped to the ground.
