Earth-shattering divine lightning exploded as boundless Golden Void Lightning wreaked havoc upon the earth, destroying anything and everything.
The lightning slowly dissipated, revealing the ground below, which had been ravaged into a completely unrecognizable state.
Within the center of a gargantuan crater, a charred black body stood.
Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s flawless, jade-like body had been transformed into a charcoal statue, and it stood rooted to the spot with no hint of vitality left within it.
Deathly silence ensued.
Tribulation clouds continued to tumble and churn in the sky above.
All of the beast tribe powerful beings looked on with wide eyes, as if they were still holding onto a shred of hope, as if they wanted to see that charred black body suddenly spring into action.
They still couldn’t believe that the most powerful being in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool would fall just like that.
However, all of a sudden, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth wailed with grief.
Boundless sorrow enshrouded heaven and earth and the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool!
The fall of a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure was mourned by the entire heaven and earth!
A heaven and earth phenomenon of a ridiculously massive scale took place once again.
Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s death had been verified by heaven and earth…
No one could deny it this time as reality had been forced upon them.
Several tens of billions of beasts all throughout the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool looked up at the sky with teary eyes or expressions of unadulterated incredulity and shock.
A piece of information flowed into their minds, letting them know that the most powerful being in the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong, had fallen.
This was a piece of news that had spread instantly throughout the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.
Not even the Divine Bat Emperor had received such VIP treatment. Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong was probably the only mythological beast worthy of having an announcement of its death broadcasted across the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.
The emotion of grief permeated throughout the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.
An Lin remained standing proudly above the heavens with his white robe flapping around him, appearing as if he were an invincible War God.
He had now crushed the most powerful being in the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool beneath his feet and become a paramount being here.
All of the beast tribe living beings felt that An Lin’s name would be heard throughout the entire continent again soon.
Aside from those legendary God of Creation living beings, An Lin probably had no one to fear on this vast Tai Chu Continent!
The tribulation clouds were still churning.
An Lin knew that it was time for him to transcend his tribulation.
He had used his own tribulation to send Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong on his way.
After completing such a flex-worthy feat, An Lin was extremely elated, and his dao heart was as clear as ever.
Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong really was a respectable opponent though. Even after suffering such a terrifying blow, it still remained standing and did not fall.
This was the pride of the most powerful being in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.
Setting aside all of their differences, An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Dongfang Zhuangshi were actually all in admiration of it.
“Wait… Something’s not quite right…” Xu Xiaolan suddenly said.
Dongfang Zhuangshi’s brows also furrowed. “Where is the final divine dao reciprocation following the death of a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure?”
The fall of a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure was beneficial to all beings in this world. It was a widespread inheritance, which allowed everyone to observe heaven and earth from the deceased Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure’s reciprocation to heaven and earth.
But where was Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s reciprocation?
There was none!
Xu Xiaolan and Dongfang Zhuangshi were both quite perplexed.
All of a sudden, Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s charred black body suddenly opened its mouth…
Bam!
A beam of white light, which was concentrated to the extreme, shot forth toward An Lin at an extremely fast speed.
“An Lin!” Xu Xiaolan hurtled toward An Lin in a panicked rush to try and stop the beam of light.
However, the beam of light was extraordinarily fast, and it instantly punctured An Lin’s body, upon which countless golden divine symbols began to spread all over his body like crawling insects.
An Lin’s eyes widened with incredulity as he looked down at Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong.
All of this took place far too spontaneously, and he had no time to react.
Wasn’t Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong dead? Why was it still able to unleash a spell technique?
Xu Xiaolan rushed over to An Lin before pressing her hand to the punctured wound on his body. She unleashed a healing spell technique as she appraised An Lin with a panicked expression. “Are you alright?”
At this moment, an extremely terrifying burst of true intent began to wreak havoc within An Lin’s body.
This was the true intent of the flawless dao jade!
“I understand now. Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong injected its divine dao reciprocation into my body following its death…” An Lin was enlightened.
“It can do that?” Dongfang Zhuangshi also flew over with an astonished expression on his face.
An Lin knew that this was theoretically possible. When Raphaella had fallen, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had benefited the most from her divine dao reciprocation. This was partially due to the fact that they were situated the closest to her, but it must have also had something to do with Raphaella directing her reciprocation intentionally or unintentionally toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.
“Why… why would it do that?” Xu Xiaolan was confused.
Divine dao reciprocation contained the highest level of dao enlightenment a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure possessed. Why would it give all of this power to An Lin without any reservation? Was it trying to get An Lin to inherit its power?
Could it be that Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong was beaten into submission and decided to do this out of profound respect for the one who had ended its life?
A wry smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he threw up a mouthful of blood. At this moment, the strange, golden divine symbols had crawled all over his entire body and fused together with his blood and flesh.
He heaved a forlorn sigh. “Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong was a super mighty figure at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, and it was just a single step away from the God of Creation Stage. Do you think it was trying to help me by injecting all of its divine dao into my body at once?”
Xu Xiaolan’s features turned pale upon hearing this. “It… it’s trying to kill you through overload?”
“What a cruel technique! It continues to be a pest even after its death,” Dongfang Zhuangshi spat through gritted teeth.
“What do we do, An Lin…” Xu Xiaolan had tears flowing down her face. She discovered that no healing spell technique she was capable of unleashing could clear out the divine dao reciprocation that had been injected into An Lin’s body.
“Calm down…” Blood trickled down the corners of An Lin’s lips, but a calm and collected smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “I still have a trump card that I haven’t used yet!”
Xu Xiaolan and Dongfang Zhuangshi both looked at An Lin with anticipation upon hearing this.
An Lin drew his Evil-Slaying Sword with a smile. “My Evil-Slaying Sword has a Vanquish the Heavens and Slay All Evil Purification technique that can eradicate all debilitating effects cast upon me by an enemy!”
Xu Xiaolan’s eyes lit up. “Yes yes yes! I forgot about that! Hurry up and stab yourself!”
An Lin gripped onto his Evil-Slaying Sword, and it became a flawless white color. It glowed with a holy light, making it appear as if it were the epitome of perfection.
He immediately stabbed his Evil-Slaying Sword into a spot on his body close to the puncture wound! The healing effect should improve the closer he stabbed to his wound.
Splat…
Blood splattered into the air.
An Lin gritted his teeth with pain. “Purification, activate!”
Ten seconds later.
Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong’s divine dao reciprocation power was still wreaking havoc within An Lin’s body.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Dongfang Zhuangshi were all rooted to the spot.
A peculiar silence ensued.
“What’s going on…” Xu Xiaolan mused with a blank expression, “I don’t recall there being a time lag for the purification spell technique to take effect…”
An Lin threw up another mouthful of blood and stared at his bleeding wound with a dumbstruck expression. “Why… How could this be? Why isn’t my hack working?”
