Chapter 2258: Pursuit Around the World

An Lin was furious as he gazed at the ball of light, and he said, “Who would’ve thought? The Heavenly Light Goddess can’t speak, yet she’s using such a method to piss me off! Wonderful! Very well…”

He changed his strategy again, gathering the full power of the needle at a single point. The ball of light caved in under this immense pressure. However, like a loose balloon, it immediately moved back to release this pressure. It wanted to maintain a certain distance from their attack.

“How far can you run?” An Lin said with a cold humph. He continued to chase after the ball of light.

Tina and Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan also chased after the ball of light, using their full power to attack it.

An Lin continued to poke the ball of light with his purple-gold needle, and the ball of light continued to retreat.

One hundred kilometers, one thousand kilometers, ten thousand kilometers, one hundred thousand kilometers, ten million kilometers…

An Lin continued to poke at the ball of light, and the ball of light continued to retreat. In the end, they actually exited the region of mysterious mists and over the East Sea and continued to fly toward the west!

An Lin was hellbent on defeating this ball of light. Regardless of how it retreated, he would continue to stab at it. Eventually, they exited the region of the East Sea, flew over Chen Xi City, flew over the Kingdom of the Nine States, and even flew over the White Nectar Sea. They continued to move toward the West Sea…

An Lin didn’t know when or where this pursuit would end. However, he knew that he definitely had to pop this ball of light before him!

Just like that, An Lin pursued the ball of light from day to night, and then from night to day. After two entire days, he had already followed the ball of light around the entire Tai Chu Continent. However, he still hadn’t managed to pop it!

At this moment, some mysterious change suddenly occurred among the intangible Heavenly Dao in the sky.

Cyril, Chen Chen, Nuwa, the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue, and other God of Creation Stage divine beings all turned to look up at the sky. Their expressions changed slightly.

Nuwa held onto Little Hong Ling’s small and dainty hand as she walked out from the Cabin of Life. In the blink of an eye, she had already arrived at the Tai Chu Continent. She looked up at the sky.

“The five Heavenly Gates have already been destroyed. Regardless of whether it’s Heavenly Humans or Heavenly Gods, none of them can enter the Tai Chu Continent through such passageways anymore,” Nuwa said softly.

“Wow, so impressive!” Little Hong Ling exclaimed. Her large and bright eyes were wide open as she gazed at the sky. “Then won’t the Tai Chu Continent be safe once we kill all of the remaining Supreme Heavenly Gods?”

Nuwa shook her head lightly and replied, “That’s only a superficial solution. The Heavenly Dao is damaged, so catastrophes and destruction will continue. We need to solve the problem at its root. The only solution is to repair the Heavenly Dao…”

Nuwa pondered for a moment before adding, “Of course, crushing the heavens and then reconstructing the Heavenly Dao is also a plausible option.”

“Crushing the heavens… Then the heavens won’t be the original heavens…” Little Hong Ling said upon hearing this. There was an expression of dejection and reluctance on her small and jade-like face.

Nuwa shook her head and said, “Whether or not it’s the original heavens isn’t important. Our aim is to benefit all of the beings in the world. Thus, regardless of whether it’s mending the heavens or crushing the heavens, everything will be fine if it succeeds.

“However, the danger of crushing the heavens is far too great. Moreover, if they fail, they’ll even increase the difficulty of mending the heavens. Anyhow, it seems like they’re about to start…”

Right at this moment, a streak of light suddenly soared through the sky.

Little Hong Ling and Nuwa both felt a terrifying might.

“That’s… Sect Leader An Lin?” Little Hong Ling exclaimed in excitement.

A faint smile spread across Nuwa’s flawlessly beautiful face, and she said, “He’s the one who destroyed the Eastern Heavenly Gate… In fact, he played an integral role in the destruction of all five Heavenly Gates. He’s no doubt a big hero of the Tai Chu Continent!”

“Humph! Sect Leader An Lin is indeed a big hero. However, not long ago, you were still trying to target him!” Little Hong Ling pouted in dissatisfaction. It was clear that she was extremely displeased with what Nuwa had done before.

Nuwa wore an expression of guilt and remorse, and she said, “Sigh… I was blinded by my own thoughts. In order to mend the heavens, I even thought about how to target An Lin…”

She became slightly dazed as she looked at the disappearing streak of light, and she murmured, “Perhaps… mending the heavens isn’t the greatest hope for this world. Rather, he might be the greatest hope for this world…”

Meanwhile…

In the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace.

After sensing some change, Cyril suddenly stood up from his Heavenly Disciple Throne. He spread his arms apart and chortled with laughter as he looked up at the sky through the transparent roof of the palace. “Hahaha! Sure enough, Heavenly Disciple An Lin hasn’t disappointed us. He’s completed the most difficult task. Now, it’s time for us to enter the scene.

“The time is ripe. Let us complete the final step to crush the heavens!

“I hereby declare Heaven Crushing, the second step of the Heaven Crushing Plan, officially begin!”

Cyril walked toward the Heaven Crushing Light Column that rested in the center of the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace. This light column became more and more tangible, and it eventually transformed into a black and white spear that possessed an unimaginable sharpness. This intense sharpness pierced through the sky, causing a web of cracks to appear through the sky.

At this moment, a paramount power and a paramount Heaven Crushing True Intent were unleashed without restraint.

Meanwhile, the black patterns on the ground also released a powerful Heaven Crushing Aura. This aura rose from the horizon and started to spread toward the sky. The black patterns became increasingly profound, and it was as if they could engulf all matter.

All of the energy in the Tai Chu Continent was aroused at this moment. The vital energy throughout the billions of square kilometers of land started to pulse in a rhythmic manner.

Inside the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace, the members of the Heaven Crushing Sect all held their hands flat before them as they recited some spell technique. They fused their power into the black and white spear. Cyril—who was holding the spear in his hands—appeared both solemn and excited.

“Listen… Do you hear that? The sound of the Heavenly Dao shattering…”

His unique aura as a God of Creation Stage diving being was fully unleashed at this moment. Heaven and earth tremored as an intent that was transcendent above the Heavenly Dao grew into existence.

Just like that, Cyril directly thrust the spear into the sky.

A black fracture suddenly spread millions of kilometers into the surroundings!

A power of destruction started to emanate!

“Heavenly Dao, Finger of the Heavenly Dao.”

Chen Chen’s voice was calm as he tapped his finger at the sky.

An indescribable finger easily poked through the void, even poking through the restriction of time. It tapped at the formless yet all-encompassing Heavenly Dao.

Rumble…

The sky was howling in fury.

The sky was crying bloody tears of grief.

At this moment, the actions of the Heaven Crushing Sect astounded all of the powerful beings in the Tai Chu Continent.

“Are the heavens truly going to be crushed?” Inside Chen Xi City, the powerful beings couldn’t help but gaze up at the sky.

“Sigh… The Heaven Mending Sect was too slow in the end…”

The Celestial Thearch shook his head and sighed as he stood atop the city walls.

At the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

As Xiao Hong gazed at the spreading fractures in the sky, she discovered that even the sun didn’t seem very bright anymore. It was as if the world were shrouded in a layer of fog.

She bobbled her head and said softly, “The Heaven Crushing Sect is performing the second step of their plan. Does Master have a chance to become the Heavenly Dao? Although I’ll miss the current heavens, as long as it helps Master survive, I hope that the Heaven Crushing Sect can successfully crush the heavens…”

At this moment, An Lin—who was chasing the ball of light around the entire continent—also saw the astonishing scenes in the sky. He was completely stunned.

This had come far too quickly.

This had come without any warning at all.

It was also at this moment that the fleeing ball of light suddenly stopped in its tracks.
