Chapter 2325: The Evernight Whale Wonder and Firmament Ocean Wonder
Chapter 2325: The Evernight Whale Wonder and Firmament Ocean Wonder
“It’s powerful. Little Fish’s brush and tome are merely high-deific-class divine wonders.”
Tianming’s prime wonder had surpassed the skyway masterbrush and sacredway tome wonders and was now a low-sanctuary-class divine wonder. That was the reason the Prime Cosmic Rings could suppress low-sanctuary-class wildbeasts.
“For wonderians, two exist as one, so the firmament ocean wonder is only one of them. We must be careful, since they have another divine wonder,” Lin Xiao said.
“Understood, you’re so long-winded.” Dongshen Yue glanced at him. “Old man, how many times have we fought side by side, sharing life and death?” she asked in a daze. Life had passed so quickly and those moving times had become memories.
“That isn’t what’s important.”
“Then what is?”
“As long as I’m here, this won’t be our last,” Lin Xiao said.
If it had been any other time, Dongshen Yue might have pulled out his beard. But today, she believed him.
The two wasted no time. Lin Xiao aimed his sword, breaking through tens of thousands of waves and heading straight to the depths of Ghostmist Valley. A pathway several hundred kilometers long, sealed by sword ki, appeared in the ocean. The two shone like stars and it wasn’t long before they locked on to their opponent.
In the abyss, a man and a woman, both very young six-fingered divine wonderians, appeared in front of them. One of them held Lin Dan by the neck, looking at Lin Xiao with a smile.
As soon as he laid eyes on them, Lin Xiao frowned. “You’re Etherean Zhaohua of Exaltia, a fifth-level nova source world in Skydome Mundus. You have a full life ahead of you. Why bother to wade in these muddy waters?”
“You recognize me?” Xuan Hua froze for a moment before continuing. “As I recall, the Swordgod Lin Clan has a fifth-level nova source world known as Gladeus. I’ve fought their etherean.”
“Gladeus belongs to the Infinitum Bodhimanda, not the Swordgod Lin Clan.” Lin Xiao stared at Lin Dan, who was almost at his last breath. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he added, “You’re both respected figures. The reason the Infinitum Mundus and Skydome Mundus have been at peace for so long is because both sides mind their own business. But now the two of you have chosen to attack us in the Infinitum Bodhimanda’s territory. We may be old, but we’re still important. I don’t care if you’re acting on behalf of someone else, or even under the orders of the divine wonderians. I advise you to think twice. It’s never too late to change your mind.”
Hearing that, Xuan Hua couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’ve both outlived your usefulness. Don’t be stupid, you can’t represent the Infinitum Bodhimanda, and we don’t represent the divine wonderians, either. This is a private matter, a personal enmity between two sides. We want your lives, it’s that simple. Don’t overinterpret it or try to poison the well.”
It was obvious that persuasion wasn’t going to work.
“Fine.” Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao said, “Let’s not waste any more time talking. We arrived as you asked, so release the innocent hostage.”
“Given the divine wonderians’ conduct, I hope you’ll be more open-minded.” Dongshen Yue said very politely.
“Okay.” Xuan Hua and Gu Zhao looked at each other and laughed. A terrifying power surged from the two of them, rushing into Lin Dan’s body. Due to the impact of the force, Lin Dan suddenly opened his eyes.
“Second Patriarch!” he yelled, eyes wide.
In an instant, the divine wonders poured into his body, gathered in his astrons, and exploded. Blue whales squeezed out of his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and pores, destroying his heptastar organs.
“No!!”
Following Lin Dan’s miserable scream, his entire body exploded in a bloody mist. The blue whales rushing out of him grew bigger and bigger. They emitted low whistles that swept across the entire Ghostmist Valley, continuing to split apart till they formed a school of a hundred million blue whales that quickly spread out toward Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. They formed a multilayered prison of sorts. ?There was water and whales, leaving the wonderians in their natural habitat.
A magnificent scene had appeared before Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. However, Lin Dan, whom they cared about the most, had been completely obliterated.
“GOUDAN!”
Lin Xiao’s face was twisted in an ugly grimace, his cloudy eyes bloodshot. They had been forced to watch a junior die because of the bastard wonderians! His old swordheart violently trembled. Everything from the past came rushing into his mind. The sloppy junior who shared his bad habits, a partner in crime who promised to handle his last rites, had perished before his eyes. Lin Xiao’s heart broke.
It was as if he had been taken back to that night a hundred years ago. When he had seen his son—who had lost his swordheart—lying in front of him, feebly looking at him, Lin Xiao seemed to have died with him. He looked up.
Etherean Zhaohua was patting their hands, as if killing such an insignificant person had dirtied them and a monstrous hatred filled Lin Xiao’s head. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, the hand around his sword still trembling.
“Do it.”
Amidst the pain, the voice from the woman beside him became his only support. “Yes.”
He was old. Time had shown no mercy and the years hadn’t been good to him; he had yet to enjoy peace in his later years. All that was left to do was fight to the death for this descendant of the Swordgod Lin Clan.
……
Beneath the Infinitum Stele, Dongshen Zhuojun’s face was livid as he put away the gold transmission stone.
“Lin Dan is dead….”
Dongshen Yue had passed the news to Dongshen Zhuojun before the battle, and Feiling and the others had heard it as well. Their eyes turned red.
“Etherean Zhaohua? How despicable! They don’t care about how they look. Let’s go!” Without another word, Dongshen Zhuojun steered the astralship toward Ghostmist Valley. Even with gravity acting on it, an astralship could still move much faster than individuals.
At the same time, what happened in Ghostmist Valley had also been heard by many others.
“How dare the divine wonderians behave so recklessly in Ebonia?”
“They sure are brave!”
“Who gave them courage?”
“Isn’t it clear?”
“Shut up!”
“Let’s go and have a look. Ghostmist Valley isn’t far.”
“Lin Lao’er is still pretty strong. How could a mere etherean be confident of killing him and fleeing in such a short period of time?”
“Let’s go!”
Numerous astralships set off after Dongshen Zhuojun, headed for Ghostmist Valley.
“This divine wonderian couple’s evernight whale wonder and firmament ocean wonder are indeed terrifying. The great whales and the boundless ocean complement each other. Both are high-ether-class divine wonders. When used together, they can turn the world upside down!”
“Those two can certainly hide. With such great divine wonders, they can definitely escape after killing Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue, as long as they aren’t surrounded.”
“Lin Lao’er is too old!”
“Etherean Zhaohua’s a genius. They’re young, but already about as strong as the Second Patriarch was in his prime. It doesn’t look good for Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue!”
Everyone felt sorry for them, but there was nothing they could do about it. Those present were all at the top of the main ranking. They knew very well who had ordered the unprovoked attack.
