Chapter 2625: The Rain in Outer Space
Having lost the protective barrier of light around the mountain soul, the seven people who stood in the Martial Soul Array were immediately thrown into the middle of danger.
They could not afford any interference to the Martial Soul Array, as all of their power and vital energies were concentrated on Hun Zang. As a result, they could not use their own power at all unless they stopped the Martial Soul Array.
However, once they stopped the Martial Soul Array, they would have nothing to use against Sha Yun and Xu Zhiping.
However, even though they were basically basically doomed, the seven successors of the Martial Soul lineage showed no despair at all.
It was as if the danger they currently faced could not really threaten their lives.
“Hahahaha, I’ve finally shattered the shell that has been protecting you. Without the shell, you are all just ants putting a last, desperate struggle in my eyes. Today, the legend of the Martial Soul lineage will end in my hands. I will destroy the greatest enemies of the Radiant Saint Hall. I will be the greatest contributor to the Radiant Saint Hall across its countless years by destroying you.”
“I will complete the wish that the past leaders of the Radiant Saint Hall failed to fulfil. At the same time, I will avenge all the Hallowed Saint Masters that have died to your hands during all these years.” Gongsun Zhi held Godslayer’s sword. Even though Godslayer’s sword had sapped his vitality after absorbing his essence blood twice, he paid no attention to his personal feebleness. His viciously stared at the seven successors of the Martial Soul lineage who were waiting for their deaths as he became extremely excited.
“I, Gongsun Zhi, am destined to become the greatest leader of the Radiant Saint Hall over its countless years in the future. The Radiant Saint Hall will definitely shine resplendently in my hands.” Gongsun Zhi laughed aloud. His laughter was filled with arrogance and haughtiness.
The Martial Soul lineage renowned across the Saints’ World was about to be destroyed under his lead. This made Gongsun Zhi gain an even better recognition of just how astonishing the power he now possessed was.
This made his confidence swell to the point where he felt invincible.
Most importantly, he was about to take back the Method of the Exalted Saint.
Once he obtained the Method of the Exalted Saint, Gongsun Zhi was confident that he would become a supreme figure who stood at the apex of the Saints’ World.
“We can only use our final move,” said Chu Jian sternly on the mountain soul as he stared at Gongsun Zhi who was laughing wildly.
His voice rang out in the heads of the other successors. All of them became stern.
Jian Chen’s heart sank as well. Naturally, he knew what this so-called final move was referring to.
This final move was the final life-saving trump card of the Martial Soul lineage. The move would cause all of the mountain soul’s energy to explode. During the devastating explosion, everyone would lose their bodies and everything they possessed on them—Space Rings, armor, and so on. Only their souls would survive in the end.
A mysterious power would protect their souls during the explosion and send their souls back to the true Martial Soul Mountain. As a result, their souls would not be destroyed.
As long as their souls remained intact, they would not die. They would just need some time to rebuild their bodies, and then they would be able to return to their previous state.
Now that they had reached the end of the road, perhaps this was the only choice they could make.
“Seniors, the price to use that move is far too great. However, I do have a trump card that might be able to deal with our current predicament,” said Jian Chen. He could not afford to leave because he was not alone. He still had many acquaintances and family on the Cloud Plane.
If they really used the final move, the Tian Yuan clan would definitely be destroyed.
With that, an extremely astonishing sword Qi began to radiate from his body. At the same time, his eyes lost their original colors. Two piercing lights began to shine. One of his eyes had become a dazzling violet, while the other had become a deep azure.
The two eyes flickered with azure and violet light. At that moment, Jian Chen seemed quite demonic.
This was the power of the twin swords. Jian Chen had already called out the sword spirits and was preparing to fuse the swords.
He had already reached the end of the road now. Even if he had to expose his identity, he would still do it.
Just as Jian Chen was about to fuse the twin swords, the Heartless Child slowly stood up on the roof of a structure in the imperial capital of the Blood Sun Empire. His eyes pierced through the space there and directly landed on the mountain soul’s location.
“The fate of the Martial Soul lineage has nothing to do with me, but Jian Chen is someone crucial. He can’t die here. It looks like it’s time for me to take action,” the Heartless Child murmured as if he had not had enough fun yet. It was like from the beginning till the end, the entire battle had been a play or an interesting performance to him.
Now that the performance was about to end, he felt a slight sense of pity.
“Hun Zang is the strongest member of the Martial Soul lineage. I’ll start with him, and then I’ll slowly deal with the rest of you.” Gongsun Zhi chuckled. His eyes locked onto the bisected Hun Zang, and he raised Godslayer’s Sword high above his head. He was about to slash it at Hun Zang without any hesitation.
“Stop!”
“First senior brother!”
Cries rang out from the mountain soul. Everyone’s expression changed drastically. Killing intent surged in Jian Chen’s eyes as he immediately urged on the fusion of the twin swords.
At the same time, in the southern region of the Cloud Plane, the Heartless Child slowly raised his hand. He pointed at where Gongsun Zhi stood, and just when he was about to take action, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He was surprised, and he muttered, “Hmm? Why has she come?”
With that, a huge crack silently appeared in the space before Gongsun Zhi. The crack seemed to split the world apart. As a result, Gongsun Zhi and Hun Zang now seemed to stand in different worlds.
In the end, Godslayer’s sword struck the spatial crack with surging power. It caused quite a great shockwave in the spatial crack, but Hun Zang was fine.
“The Laws of Space! Who is it?” Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun’s expression changed as they kept the mountain soul restrained. They both called out.
The two of them just happened to be afraid of any unexpected incidents happening as they destroyed the Martial Soul lineage. Now that the spatial crack had appeared, their hearts tightened.
Suddenly, Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun both wiped their faces. They looked at the water on their hands that came from unknown origins as they were both left at a loss.
“What? No, this is rain. Where did this rain come from?” Xu Zhiping was surprised. He was currently in outer space, so why would rain appear?
“I- it’s raining…” At the same time, Gongsun Zhi could not afford to pay attention to what the spatial crack was all about. Instead, he raised his head to look at the disorienting outer space. He was stunned.
He could clearly see a great swathe of rain appear out of nowhere, and it actually fell onto his head from the empty space. It doused the region of space.
The strange part was that there was clearly no force of attraction, no gravity, in space. Everything floated about, but the rain had truly fallen down from the ‘sky’ above him. In an instant, it became torrential. There were also flashes of lightning and booming thunder. Grey clouds shrouded the area above him.
