Chapter 510: He Really Committed Suicide

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Spatial cracks began to appear in the wake of the black flames.

The devastating power of annihilation proliferated outward, giving everyone a sense of asphyxiation.

The Vermilion Bird Mirror, which had been fully charged, appeared in An Lin’s hand. A rippling mirror surface appeared around An Lin’s body like a barrier as he activated the Vermilion Bird Mirror.

Boom!

The Star-Engulfing Flame technique crashed into the rippling mirror barrier, triggering a peculiar energy fluctuation. The flames then seemed to have disappeared into an alternate dimension.

Xiao Tu faltered slightly, and he seemed to be able to see a reflection of himself when he looked at An Lin.

The reflection of himself opened its mouth, and black flames poured forth from within.

Boom!

The Star-Engulfing Flame technique erupted forth from the rippling mirror, and the black flames imbued with the extremely fearsome power of annihilation swept toward Xiao Tu!

Xiao Tu was truly dumbstruck this time.

He stared at the black flames sweeping toward him as he momentarily lost the ability to think.

A thought reverberated throughout his mind—to dodge or not to dodge?

This shouldn’t count as suicide, right? This was An Lin’s technique, right? Surely this didn’t violate his own Dao…

Just as all these thoughts were running through his head, the black flames completely engulfed him and annihilated his entire body as well as his consciousness.

Everything returned to how it once was with the exception of the spatial cracks in the air, which highlighted just how fearsome that last attack was.

Liu Chuchu and others all turned to look at spot Xiao Tu had once been sitting, before turning to look at An Lin, who remained unscathed, and they drew two sharp intakes of breath in quick succession!

“What kind of spell technique is that? How could it reflect such a terrifying attack?!” Ling Ying looked at An Lin with shock, awe, and veneration on her face.

“No wonder you asked to be attacked, you have a perfect plan prepared all along!” A hint of admiration also appeared on Liu Chuchu’s face as she stared at An Lin with bright eyes.

Tina flew in circles around An Lin joyfully as she offered words of praise, “Giant An Lin, your plan was seamlessly perfect! Just as the saying goes, everyone’s worst enemy is none other than themselves! Killing Xiao Tu with his own power is a stroke of scintillating genius! Ah~~ Giant An Lin, you’re a prodigy among prodigies!”

Everything Tina just said was useless, but An Lin was very happy to receive such praise. He turned to everyone with a nonchalant smile on his face.

Hong Dou felt like this smile was too dazzling, and he couldn’t help but recoil a little.

Right at this moment, an otherworldly voice suddenly sounded, “Ah… I’ve finally been freed. Thank you all, thank you, An Lin! I didn’t think happiness would strike me so abruptly…”

Everyone shuddered upon hearing this voice. It was the voice of Xiao Tu!

These words weren’t spoken in the Tai Chu Language or the Ancient Man Language, but instead, it was an extremely unique language that was able to flow directly into their ears for them to understand what Xiao Tu was saying.

An Lin and the others immediately began looking around with bewildered expressions, but they didn’t discover any trace of Xiao Tu.

“There’s no need to look for me. I’m already dead. This is just a wisp of my Dao intent speaking to all of you now. This wisp of Dao intent is going to dissipate soon, and that will be the moment when my resurrection spell formation is activated!”

Resurrection formation?

An Lin almost vomited a mouthful of blood upon hearing this. “What the f*ck! You can resurrect yourself? So you didn’t even really die!”

“No! I did really die! Otherwise, the resurrection formation wouldn’t be activated…

“This cage was created by the laws of heaven and earth, and I can only break free from it by crossing through the barrier between life and death before being resurrected from the dead. “Hehe… Luckily, I prepared my resurrection in advance, otherwise, I would really be forced to choose between truly dying forever or being trapped in a state of limbo where I would rather be dead…

“I won’t waste more of your time. I’m just here to tell you that under the crumbling stone pillars, there are six Scorching Sun Pills, which are fifth-grade immortal pills that were refined by me during the time that I was trapped here. Consumption of the pill can bring out all of the consumer’s latent potential for a short period of time. It’s quite fun to use…”

Xiao Tu’s voice swept through the air like a light breeze before slowly vanishing.

Everyone’s eyes lit up after hearing this, and all of them ran toward the crumbling stone pillar.

Boom boom boom…

Transportation technique, digging technique…

An intricate box soon appeared before everyone.

When An Lin took the lid off the box, the aroma of the pills inside instantly permeated throughout the entire space around them. The energy spilling from the pills created a wave of scorching heat, which swept outward for hundreds of meters, making everyone’s eyes light up with excitement.

“I put in the most work, so it’s only right for me to take two, right?” An Lin asked as he licked his lips.

No one had any objections, so An Lin pocketed three Scorching Sun Pills.

Hong Dou also took a Scorching Sun Pill with embarrassment on his face. After all, he was carried by them the entire way, so he felt a little guilty taking a pill.

Liu Chuchu continued to dig through the ground to see if there were any other items of value, and she only reluctantly stopped after she was forcefully dragged away by An Lin.

This sanctuary was only around ten thousand feet in radius and everything within had been reduced to white dust; even the skeletal monsters had been completely eradicated by An Lin and the others.

They discovered nothing after making another lap of the sanctuary, so they decided to leave.

A huge splash appeared in the center of the White Lake, and five figures appeared between heaven and earth.

Time had already risen over the horizon, and another day had passed before they knew it.

“We’re going to the Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain next as it’s the nearest location to the Pan Long Mountain. According to Xiao Tu, there is a good chance for the Realm Essence Crystals to appear in that area as well. Do you guys want to come along?” An Lin turned to Hong Dou and Ling Ying.

Ling Ying nodded. “We’ve traveled through most of the Pan Long Mountain and obtained all the Realm Essence Crystals we could, so we were planning to go to the Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain as well. Apparently, each and every one of the snow beasts there has a Realm Essence Crystal within their bodies, I wonder if that’s true.”

Liu Chuchu pursed her lips. “So what if it’s true? Killing enemies reap profits much faster than killing snow beasts! If you ask me, murder and robbery are the way to go!”

Ling Ying: “…”

Hong Dou: “…”

An Lin nodded before making the final decision. “Alright, let’s set off for the Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain then!”

Heavenly Snow Abyss Mountain.

This was an area engulfed by boundless ice and snow.

The sunlight that descended upon this area was transformed into rays of blue light with no hint of warmth to them.

There was a huge black rift extending across the entire sky, exuding an aura of death and annihilation, as if the very heavens had been wounded.

There was a mountain over a hundred thousand feet tall under the rift, and it appeared as if the tip of the mountain had almost been engulfed by the rift in the sky.

There was a huge ice crystal at the summit of the mountain, within which sat an exquisitely beautiful woman who was meditating with her eyes closed as she absorbed the destructive power within the rift in the sky.

Six powerful snow maidens stood guard around the ice crystal as they surveyed their surroundings with cautious expressions.

“Palace Leader Qi, Shangguan Yi’s absorption rate seems to be faster than we anticipated. At this rate, she would be able to awaken the spiritual aura of the Ice Matriarch in another day at most. As such, can we complete the second plan as well?” a petite snow maiden suggested.

“We do have enough time to complete the second plan, but don’t forget that protecting Shangguan Yi is our top priority. We must refrain from any actions that may put Shangguan Yi in the path of danger.” A snow maiden with huge wings of ice growing on her back rejected the suggestion in a firm voice. She was clearly the leader of this group of snow maidens.

“Hmph… alright then… that’s a pity…” The petite snow maiden pouted as she turned away from the proxy Palace Leader with the icy demeanor.
