Chapter 2144: An Lin’s Heaven Crushing Ability
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin was stunned upon hearing this.
The Evil-Slaying Sword was indeed a Heaven Crushing Divine Weapon, but it couldn’t crush the heavens just because it said it could, right?
One had to realize that the Purple Star Civilization had gathered the full power of their civilization and even harnessed the power of the entire universe. However, it had still been a struggle for them to push forward with their heaven crushing aspirations. Yet, right now, the Evil-Slaying Sword wanted to crush the heavens with just her and her master?
“Little Xie, you’re not joking, are you?” An Lin asked in astonishment.
“I never joke,” Little Xie replied. She gazed at An Lin solemnly and said, “Master, I know what… I’ve been fighting alongside you this entire time, so I know what you’re afraid of. I also want to save you. My thoughts are the same as yours. We can only save you if we crush the heavens…
“After destroying the current Heavenly Dao, you can transform from a ‘component’ into the ‘entirety’. In other words, you can become the complete Heavenly Dao while also maintaining the uniqueness of your existence…”
There was a serious expression on Little Xie’s face as she said this.
She also possessed the ability to mend the heavens, though using this ability would require her to sacrifice An Lin. The price of mending the heavens was that An Lin would have to return to the Heavenly Dao as a being with no awareness. Thus, she hadn’t considered this choice at all.
Little Xie hadn’t referred to An Lin as “master” many times, but in her mind, An Lin had already become the most important person to her. Thus, when she considered problems, An Lin was always at the forefront of her mind.
Sacrifice An Lin to save the world?
Sorry, but she couldn’t do this.
In any case, the other Supreme Heavenly Gods were all hell-bent on exterminating the human tribe as well as the other intelligent beings of the Tai Chu Continent. There was a huge question mark over whether sacrificing An Lin to mend the heavens could soothe the rage of the Heavenly Dao and prevent any further attacks from the Supreme Heavenly Gods.
Thus, the safest approach was to crush the heavens.
This idea evidently appealed to An Lin.
“I can crush the heavens by wielding you? What should I do?”
“Firstly, it’s definitely not enough with your power and my power alone. At that time, the Purple Star Civilization had harnessed the power of the entire Tai Chu Continent as well as the entire universe. Even so, they were only just able to destroy the Heavenly Dao of Darkness. Right now, you definitely don’t have the capability to harness so much power. Thus, we have to take an alternative path.”
An Lin was intrigued by this, and he asked, “What alternative path?”
Little Xie blinked her dead fish eyes, which had a glimmer of excitement in them, and said with a smile, “We’ll use the Heavenly Dao to destroy the Heavenly Dao!”
An Lin sucked in a deep breath. He suddenly thought of something, and he asked in astonishment, “Could it be that you want me to emulate the actions of the Purple Star Civilization?”
“Correct!” Little Xie smiled and continued, “Through analysis, the heaven crushing method of the Purple Star Civilization actually had a very high chance of success. It was just that they hadn’t expected the Heavenly Dao to develop awareness and intelligence. It was because of this that their heaven crushing attempt eventually failed.
“All of this was because the Heavenly Dao of Darkness had developed self-awareness. Moreover, this awareness was targeted at the Purple Star Civilization.
“However, the situation now is different. Master is the Heavenly Darkness God, and you can choose to engulf the remaining Heavenly Dao. Moreover, you can do this even more comprehensively than if you didn’t possess self-awareness!
“Using Heavenly Dao to destroy Heavenly Dao, and using Heavenly Dao to form the new Heavenly Dao. This is definitely the safest and most effective way to crush the heavens!” Little Xie was full of confidence as she said this.
At this moment, An Lin finally understood why Cyril and Chen Chen both viewed him as the most suitable candidate to become a Heavenly Disciple as well as the most suitable candidate to crush the heavens…
“This is true in theory, but what should I actually do?” An Lin asked.
“That’s simple! Use your Heavenly Darkness Power to engulf all of the remaining Heavenly Dao!” Little Xie said.
An Lin: “…
“I don’t even know where the remaining Heavenly Dao are, so how should I engulf them?” An Lin paused for a long moment before saying slowly, “You want me to engulf them, so you should at least tell me how to engulf them, no?”
“Truth be told, the Heavenly Gods are all a part of the Heavenly Dao. So you can start with engulfing them,” Little Xie said.
An Lin opened his mouth and said, “I don’t know how…”
There was a confident smile on Little Xie’s face, and she said, “No, you actually do know how. When a Heavenly God dies, their Dao Power should theoretically return to the Heavenly Dao. However, do you still remember how you obtained the Heavenly Wind Power, Heavenly Lightning Power, and other Heavenly Powers?”
“This…” An Lin faltered momentarily upon hearing this.
Didn’t the system help me absorb those? he asked in his mind.
However, Little Xie gave him an answer that was far beyond his expectations. “That was thanks to the engulfing ability of your Heavenly Darkness Power. The Heavenly Darkness Power can engulf and use all power of the Heavenly Dao.”
An Lin was stunned. However, he maintained his composure and said in retort, “It can’t be, right? If that’s true, then why haven’t I received the power of the Heavenly Yin Yang God, the Heavenly Earth God, and the other Heavenly Gods that I’ve killed?”
“That’s because there’s another power in your body. This power is filtering out all of the Heavenly God Powers that it deems as useless. It only absorbs and keeps those that it needs…” Little Xie answered.
An Lin’s eyes widened in surprise. At the same time, there were tumultuous waves churning in his mind.
What do you mean useless…
How are they useless?
I super-duper want them, okay?!
When it came to Heavenly God Powers like the Heavenly Time Power and Heavenly Earth Power, it was naturally the more he obtained the better!
Was there a f*cking problem with the system? He initially thought that the system had been helping him absorb the Heavenly God Powers. Thus, he had been incredibly grateful toward the system. In reality? The system had actually been obstructing him and causing him to lose the other Heavenly God Powers?!
An Lin felt like vomiting blood upon learning of this.
“However, the actions of that power were actually correct…” Little Xie’s tone suddenly changed, and she said, “The Heavenly Darkness Power can indeed absorb the remaining Heavenly God Powers. However, when you’re using your Heavenly God Power, the remaining Heavenly God Powers will also be resisting you. In fact, they can even band together to target you. At best, your mental state will become confused. At worst, it’s even possible that you might die.”
An Lin instantly felt much better.
The system still loves me…
“Then why are you telling me to engulf the other Heavenly God Powers now? Could it be that the situation you described won’t occur anymore?” An Lin asked.
“Of course it won’t. You were far too weak before, and it was because of this that you were unable to possess too many Heavenly God Powers.
“However, the situation is different now. You’re the complete Heavenly Darkness God now, so you possess the ability to absorb even Supreme Heavenly God Powers!” Little Xie said with a smile.
There were goosebumps on An Lin’s body, and he said, “Are you sure?”
“Please, have some confidence!”
Little Xie pursed her lips before saying, “From the many years of analysis using the data compiled by the Heavenly Dao researchers of the Purple Star Civilization, the power that you can unleash is theoretically capable of engulfing all other Heavenly Dao. Thus, why would it be impossible to engulf a Supreme Heavenly God Power?”
“Fine, let’s assume that you’re correct.” An Lin massaged his brows before saying, “But we’re back to the original problem again. I can’t control the power inside my body. You also saw it. Even after killing the Heavenly Earth God, I was still unable to absorb the Heavenly Earth Power…”
Little Xie puffed out her flat chest and said proudly, “I can help you!”
“How?” An Lin asked in curiosity.
“Didn’t I already say? I’ve grown stronger, so I’ve learned a new technique.” Little Xie snatched the sword from An Lin’s hand and said, “In fact, I comprehended this technique from the Dao Sword of your Six Strikes of the War God…
“The name of this technique is… Vanquish The Heavens and Slay All Evil—Ultimate Dao!”
An Lin was exhilarated upon hearing this. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Impressive! I can tell that this is a freakish technique from just its name alone!”
“Be a little more serious.” Little Xie glanced at An Lin and continued, “This technique can unleash your Heavenly Darkness Power to the greatest degree. It can also obstruct all external powers and seize for you the Heavenly God Powers of the other Heavenly Gods.”
“Can it obstruct all external powers just because you say it can? The power inside my body isn’t any ordinary power!” An Lin said.
Little Xie faltered for a moment before saying in retort, “I said it can, so it can!”
“What if it can’t?” An Lin asked. He still didn’t dare to believe this.
It wasn’t because he didn’t trust Little Xie, but it was because the existence of the system was far too transcendent.
“Then why don’t you kill a Heavenly God to test it out?”
“Fine, let’s test it out!”
