Chapter 1579: Obtaining the Power of the Heavenly Mountain God

Time Stop.

This was the only time-type spell technique An Lin was capable of unleashing.

Even though the spell technique could only stop time for a fleeting instant, this spell technique was still on an extremely terrifyingly high level, possessing the power to even freeze the Heavenly Mountain God in time.

Unfortunately, at An Lin’s current power level, he only had the power to maintain Time Stop for a second.

However, at the same time, it wasn’t really unfortunate as one second was enough to do a lot of things. For example, he was able to completely sever the Heavenly Mountain God’s dao…

Time resumed passage.

The Heavenly Mountain God’s twisted, resentful expression was still lingering on its face when it discovered that its dao had already been severed.

“This…” The Heavenly Mountain God’s eyes widened with incredulity.

Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?

The Heavenly Mountain God was completely dumbstruck.

Crack…

At this moment, the divine halo above his head suddenly cracked before crumbling.

“No… How could this be… I returned my dao to the heavens!” The Heavenly Mountain God’s expression was filled with horror and befuddlement as it stared at the man standing before it. “What did you do to me?!”

An Lin slowly sheathed his sword, and he said with an indifferent expression as the boundless veined patterns beneath his feet disappeared, “Time Stop.”

The Heavenly Mountain God was rooted to the spot as if it had been struck by lightning. It stared blankly at An Lin. “You possess the power of the Heavenly Time God as well?”

“A little,” An Lin replied with a modest expression.

The Heavenly Mountain God: “…”

Why was he being modest now? Couldn’t he boast about it? He was making it feel like it had fallen to some sort of insignificant power!

The Heavenly Mountain God was still grumbling internally as its body gradually crumbled and his aura began to fade.

After one’s dao had been destroyed, there was no longer a necessity for their existence.

Bam!

An explosive boom erupted.

The Heavenly Mountain God’s body suddenly exploded, sending lava and shattered rocks flying through the air.

Thus, the Heavenly Mountain God had finally perished!

Xuanyuan Cheng and the others were already whooping with excitement and elation.

They didn’t know what had happened, but the result was certainly in their favor.

In contrast, the Heavenly Metal God and Heavenly God Jordan’s expressions became extremely grave and disconsolate.

“How… How could the Heavenly Mountain God just die like this?” Heavenly God Jordan murmured as if he was in a slight daze.

The Heavenly Metal God’s expression had turned extremely thunderous. “An Lin again? Why is it An Lin again? First, it was Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu, and now, even the Heavenly Mountain God… This man cannot be allowed to live!”

In contrast with their astonishment and incredulity, all of An Lin’s comrades were feeling very much exultant.

“Hahaha, as expected of the Heavenly Court War God, nice one!” The Celestial Thearch threw his head back and laughed heartily before attacking Heavenly God Jordan with renewed vigor.

Chen Chen and the Heavenly Earth God were still caught in their peaceful impasse.

The Heavenly Earth God finally turned to look at An Lin.

Chen Chen smiled. “Do you still think that you can win?”

“I really didn’t think that he would possess the power of time as well…” The Heavenly Earth God shook his head. “But no matter how exceptional and outstanding he is now, he is bound to suffer a tragic death. The higher they fly, the harder they fall.”

Chen Chen shook his head. “Talk is cheap. If you don’t go now, this might become your final resting place as well.”

“Hehe…” The Heavenly Earth God chuckled. “Are you making a joke? There is no place in this world where I can’t come and go as I please. Even if Cyril were here, he couldn’t stop me.”

Chen Chen didn’t offer a response to this. Instead, he continued to stare silently at the Heavenly Earth God.

The Heavenly Earth God raised his chin, and a faint smile appeared on his face, as if the Heavenly Mountain God’s death didn’t really faze him at all.

The two of them fell into their silent impasse again.

At this moment, a “Ding Dong” sounded in An Lin’s mind.

He shuddered and was just about to open his system when a string of “Ding Dongs” began to erupt in his mind, as if the system had gone spastic.

“Holy sh*t! What’s going on?” An Lin was given a massive fright and immediately opened his system.

Several notifications had sprung out from his cultivation method tab at the same time!

[Congratulations to the host for slaying the Heavenly Mountain God.

[The Earth Lotus Supreme Skill has been elevated to the second stage, the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill has been elevated to the third stage, the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill has been elevated to the fourth stage, the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill has been elevated to the fifth stage… the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill has been elevated to the ninth stage!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the power of the Heavenly Mountain God!]

An Lin was completely dumbstruck upon seeing this string of information.

“That’s bad*ss!” He hesitated momentarily, but he was still unable to find the words to describe his feelings, so he could only settle for something like that. Obtaining the power of yet another Heavenly God was undoubtedly a massively pleasant surprise to him!

At the same time, he came to a realization.

If he wanted to obtain the powers of the Heavenly Gods, he had to end their lives with his own two hands!

In the next instant, massive amounts of information and true intent flooded into his mind, threatening to make his brain explode.

“Ah…!” An Lin gripped his head in pain.

“An Lin!” Xu Xiaolan hurriedly flew over to An Lin before wrapping her arms around him with a panicked expression. “Are you alright? Don’t scare me…”

“I’m fine. I’m just evolving!” An Lin replied through gritted teeth.

Xu Xiaolan: “???”

She had no idea what An Lin was talking about, but she still stationed herself dutifully beside An Lin before appraising all the other Heavenly Gods with cautious expressions.

Heavenly God Jordan had summoned eight divine halos, but he was still getting the crap beaten out of him by the Celestial Thearch. Once Black Spirit Snake and White Spirit Snake were thrown into the equation, he was well and truly in a dire situation.

The Heavenly Metal God and the Ancient Dragon Empress were still engaged in an extremely intense battle, and it was unclear who would come out on top.

Chen Chen and the Heavenly Earth God were still staring at each other like a pair of lovers and hadn’t even begun fighting yet.

Xu Xiaolan heaved a faint sigh of relief upon seeing this.

It looked like no one was going to target An Lin, so she could rest easy for now.

After a short while, An Lin’s expression wasn’t that agonized anymore, but sweat was still pouring down his body as he panted heavily.

“Are you alright now?” Xu Xiaolan asked with a smile.

An Lin nodded with difficulty. “I’m much better now.”

He sidled up against Xu Xiaolan’s body further as he spoke, “It was all thanks to you holding me that I was able to recover so quickly.”

Xu Xiaolan blushed, and she wanted to push An Lin away, but she couldn’t bear to do so. “Shameless b*stard!”
