Chapter 2387: Sorry
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The myriad of phenomena behind the Heavenly Light Goddess started to fuse together with the world. Once her Myriad Realm Light comprehensively fused together with the stunning phenomena behind her, her control over this heaven and earth would become even greater. Not only would she be able to see through all matter, but she would even be able to manipulate the entire world.
“The True Form of Dao is even more powerful than I imagined…” the Heavenly Light Goddess said with a chuckle. She slowly raised her Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao before continuing, “In my current state, I can exterminate the entire human race with a single attack…”
The blade of her sword rang, and an unfathomable ray of light materialized across the entire Tai Chu Continent. The sword intent of this ray of light crushed down toward the beings on the ground.
The Kingdom of the Nine States, the Buddhist Kingdom of the West, the human territories in the boundless Realm of Stars, the Zhan Qi Continent, Earth… Wherever humans existed, the light in the sky would transform into a terrifying sword projection that carried a crushing sword intent…
An indescribable feeling of death instantly overcame every human in the universe!
At this moment, the life and death of all humans were in the hands of this light. Regardless of whether it was the Celestial Thearch or a crying infant, there was not a single exception.
“Let my divine light shine through all realms…”
Golden blood slowly trickled down from the Heavenly Light Goddess’ body, forming a golden divine seal before her. This was a seal that was intertwined with the light of all realms…
A powerful connection started to materialize.
At this moment, almost every single human in the Tai Chu Continent knew that the Heaven Crushing Sect had lost. They didn’t need anyone to tell them. Meanwhile, they were also facing imminent death.
Some started to wail in grief, while others embraced those important to them. Some fled in wild fright, attempting to hide in some place where light couldn’t shine. However, light was all-pervasive.
Nuwa stood in the sky, and her expression was as grim as could be.
She discovered that all of her worlds that housed humans—regardless of whether they were Great Worlds or Small Worlds—had been enveloped in a sheen of pure white light. Meanwhile, the might of the sword projections were continually accumulating.
“The Heavenly Light Goddess yearns to kill all humans in a single breath?!”
“She can actually achieve such a feat? Just how is she so powerful…”
Nuwa discovered that she couldn’t stop the infiltration of this light at all. Every single human in her worlds had become like a carp on a chopping board. When she saw the sword projection locking onto Little Hong Ling, someone who had been favored by the Heavenly Dao, a feeling of helplessness and despair more so welled up in her heart.
The Heavenly Light Goddess’ power had already far exceeded her imagination.
Daolord Lu Ya and the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue also wore solemn expressions as they gazed at this scene. They wracked their brains for a solution, yet with the short time that they had, they were completely unable to come up with a solution to defend against the power of this light.
Trapped inside the cage of light, An Lin could do nothing but helplessly stare at everything that was occurring around him.
His only source of consolation was the fact that neither he nor Xu Xiaolan had been locked onto by the sword projection. In fact, the Heavenly Light Goddess even shot a meaningful glance at him, and it was as if she were suggesting something.
Perhaps he and Xu Xiaolan could be spared from this impending catastrophe…
Perhaps he and Xu Xiaolan could stay together, and perhaps they could even witness the birth of a new human race…
However, was this truly the result that he desired?
“Life and death without sorrow, let the holy light become eternal…” The Heavenly Light Goddess stood above the sky, and her fingers were locked together as if in prayer. Her eyes were shut, and the divine seal before her suddenly lit up with a brilliant glow.
“No… don’t…” Chen Chen murmured as he forcefully suppressed the unimaginable pain from his severe wounds. He pressed his hands into the ground, and the vanishing Heaven Crushing Spell Formation was suddenly rejuvenated with a dazzling light. Energy furiously gathered, once again transforming into a black and white Heaven Crushing Spear!
The Heavenly Light Goddess shot a cold glance at Chen Chen before raising her slender foot and stamping down.
Boom!
Golden light rippled millions of kilometers into the surroundings.
Countless wicked and jagged golden fractures instantly snaked across the boundless land, directly obliterating the Heaven Crushing Spell Formation. Along with it, the black and white Heaven Crushing Spear was also crushed into pieces.
A devastating backlash slammed into Chen Chen, once again causing him to collapse to the ground with severe wounds.
The Heavenly Light Goddess had spent almost no effort to deal with him.
The final hope of billions upon trillions of humans was brutally extinguished.
Everyone descended into despair as they gazed at the sword projections in the sky; sword projections that were seemingly about to sever their lives at any moment. They felt utter helplessness, and all they could do was stand still and wait for death.
An Lin tried everything, yet he was still unable to break free from the cage of light.
“Sigh…” He breathed a long sigh.
Nothing could hide the grief and sadness in his eyes.
There was reluctance on his face as he gazed at the trapped Xu Xiaolan. The woman in jade was also gazing at him, and tears suddenly welled up in her gentle and watery eyes.
Xu Xiaolan had seemingly guessed what he was about to do.
She started to shake her head, and there was a pleading tone in her voice as she said, “No, An Lin… not like this… We can find another way, we can definitely find another way…”
A bitter smile spread across An Lin’s face, and he said, “There’s not enough time. I initially thought that I could achieve a conclusion that satisfied everyone, neither betraying the beings of the universe nor betraying you…
“However, I truly can’t bring myself to witness the death of everyone apart from you and me…”
An Lin slowly raised his Evil-Slaying Sword. “I’m sorry, Little Xie. You did everything you could to help me, yet I still failed in the end…”
The pitch-black sword shuddered, and it was as if it were resisting and struggling against something.
However, the will of its master couldn’t be refused.
The black blade tore through the void before stabbing into the man’s heart. Blood instantly dyed his white robe a sanguine red, and a burst of formidable sword intent instantly erupted from the man’s body!
“No!” Xu Xiaolan shrieked. She swung her sword and furiously attacked the cage of light around her.
Meanwhile, the members of the Heaven Crushing Sect were all wide-eyed with shock and disbelief as they gazed at the stunning scenes before them. The man who enjoyed the title of number one Battle God of the Tai Chu Continent had actually turned his sword against himself?
What in the world was he doing?
Was he trying to commit suicide?!
“Giant An Lin…” Tina was stuck in a daze as she gazed at the man who had stabbed himself.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling’s hands were tightly gripped around her saber and trembling uncontrollably as she kneeled on Xiao Ze’s back.
The Celestial Thearch, Chang’e, and the others were also transfixed with shock upon seeing An Lin stab himself with the Evil-Slaying Sword. In fact, they even forgot about the deadly sword projections that were hanging over their heads.
Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, Liu Qianhuan, and the others were also staring at the man who was drenched in blood. Their minds became blank, and a terrifying speculation suddenly occurred to them.
Everyone in the Tai Chu Continent was stunned by this sight.
The Heavenly Light Goddess had remained largely emotionless after activating her True Form of Dao, yet at this moment, her expression finally changed. The divine seal before her exploded with brilliance as she furiously channeled it as much as she could.
At this moment, the burst of formidable sword intent had already shredded An Lin’s body, his meridians, and his divine sense. He was on the verge of death.
“Ding Dong!
“Detected that host is facing imminent death.
“Are you willing to sacrifice one-fifth of your life force to obtain an unimaginable power?
“Note: Only one-fifth of the host’s life force remains. After sacrificing this life force, the host will be comprehensively erased when the host’s power disappears.”
The system’s question appeared in An Lin’s mind.
At this moment, he could clearly hear the beat of his heart, and he could clearly hear the shouts of his friends. He could also feel the fluctuation of the surrounding light.
Numerous images flashed across his mind—his father, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, Da Bai, Xiao Hong, Lan Xiaoni, and the others. There were too many people in this world who he needed to protect.
Exchanging his life for the survival of the entire human race… This was a worthy deal.
However…
An Lin gazed at the sobbing woman in the distance. There was a stabbing pain in his heart. With his death, he would be leaving everything behind…
He wasn’t someone who would abandon his life on a whim. He wasn’t someone who wished to die a martyr’s death. However, he had been posed with an impossible choice. Even though he was extremely unwilling—supremely unwilling—he knew what he had to do.
The rims of An Lin’s eyes were also red as he gazed at the woman. However, he didn’t know what to say to her.
“I’m willing…
“To sacrifice my life!”
