Chapter 1272 When the Sky Collapses

The illusory and transparent pointer pierced through Aiwas's body nailed in the middle of the Mirror Lake like the sword of Damocles, and overlapped with the holy sword.

clang——

Along with the clanging sound of swords clashing, the illusory lightsaber crashed into the holy sword.

The holy sword seemed to have grown a little bigger in a trance, but that was actually just because the glow shrouding it made its outline larger.

Aiwass instinctively straightened his chest, as if he was actively welcoming the lightsaber, or as if he wanted to pierce the holy sword that was nailed to his heart deeper.

——Or maybe, he just hoped that the sharp blade could pierce his chest faster and end this long and painful torture.

The pointer suddenly burst into a dim yellow glow, and Aiwass's body was also illuminated by it at that moment.

It's like blowing hard on a burning piece of charcoal.

Aiwass's skin instantly dissolved and withered, turning into a charred black before peeling off and disappearing. The flesh beneath his skin transformed into thick, slowly flowing golden lava, emitting an increasingly brilliant and dazzling golden light.

“Uhhhhhhhhhh—”

Aiwass couldn't help but let out a very shrill scream.

It was like using a red-hot iron to pierce the chest cavity directly—

A growing, tangible heat surged fiercely from his chest, tearing through his flesh and melting his bones. The heat instantly spread throughout his body, overloading every nerve with boiling pain.

That was the terrifying magical power contained within the ritual. This activated energy could directly trigger devastating earthquakes—it could cause age-old mountains to crumble like tofu, and collapse plains into basins. Yet, this energy was being injected into the body of a tiny human.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be able to rest in peace after only a moment of pain.

But Aiwass's vitality was too strong. Even after suffering such a fatal injury, he showed a tendency to recover on his own. If there had been no subsequent pursuit, Aiwass would have healed from such a fatal heart injury in a short time. Even with this level of mana infused into him, Aiwass's nerves remained active.

Thus, the pain becomes more persistent.

“…What’s going on?”

Some kind-hearted people were confused and puzzled by this.

Who killed Aiwass?

"He lost! He lost!"

Some kind-hearted people shouted excitedly.

He had previously been intimidated by Aiwass's oppressive power, but now that he saw Aiwass being killed by the ritual, he couldn't help but feel excited - at least this meant that he wouldn't have to fight Aiwass anymore!

“…Did he lose?”

The brave Ismaili murmured.

He was a little bit in disbelief for a moment... Such a powerful Aiwass, the savior in the prophecy, who could even use the power of the Pillar God, was now killed by them using a ritual?

What an ironic ending!

“…No, he won.”

Aimaer Nur murmured softly, took two steps back and leaned against the stone wall.

He closed his eyes in despair.

Of all the people present, he was the only one who knew what had happened.

As the most noble and ancient benefactor, he possesses the knowledge and power of all other benefactors, including the Shepherd Tantra of the Paradise City.

The original copy of the secret book is now stored in Holy Spring City.

Only now did he finally know what trump card Aiwass had...

——Pastoral method.

Rumor has it that the shepherd almost tamed the forbidden technique of the Fallen Angel.

If it weren't for his weak will, I'm afraid the Fallen Angel would have really been made into a familiar by him!

And now Aiwass is so determined.

Isn't that Yuan Tiansi...

Aiwass could clearly feel his soul being pulled, chewed, and sucked, while his body was slowly bursting by the infinite power erupting from within his body.

Finally, his body reached its limit, shattered and disintegrated.

But Aiwass's remains did not emit any earth-shattering explosion, nor did they even emit light or heat. Instead, they continued to collapse towards the center, swallowing up everything around them like a black hole.

All the white mist was sucked away, and the holy lake dried up.

And that dark and lightless dot just floated silently in the air.

——Kara.

Accompanied by the sound of shattering like broken glass that echoed throughout the entire resting place.

The next moment, the deep blue sky, like a convex lens or a crystal ball, suddenly burst.

It started with a light drizzle...and then in the blink of an eye it turned into a downpour.

People looked at all this with strange eyes, their eyes full of fanaticism and ecstasy.

They shouted, seemingly free of their fear and confusion, and simply bathed in the pouring rain. Many children and adults who had never seen heavy rain were terrified of the water falling from the sky, wanting to touch it but not daring to.

If it only stops at this point, it will be a miracle of praying for rain.

——But obviously, this is impossible.

After a heavy rain, it turns into a column of water.

Column after column of water, like thick spears. The deep blue water was like crystal, and it was covered with white foam. They pierced through buildings, broke bridges, and amid the screams of panic, they instantly swept away those unlucky enough to dodge, their limbs twisting like rags.

They were either sent flying, or crushed into a pancake. Their heads were smashed into their chests, or they fell and were severed in half by a jet of water...

It only took a minute to go from confusion and fear to laughter and ecstasy, and from laughter and ecstasy to crying and despair.

They have nowhere to go, nowhere to escape.

At this moment, a hymn sounded in the city—

"We offer the pearls of the sinners (looking up to heaven),

“We burn the seaweed of the devout (to dry it out).

"Lord of the Abyss, please look toward this fire (which never goes out)!

"The children's umbilical cords have not yet been cut (please have mercy)..."

The priests of Holy Spring City sang in unison, and there were even two parts.

It was a sacred yet strange style, a hymn praising Yuan Tiansi.

It is also a sacrificial word used to appease angry monsters and calm their anger when offering sacrifices to Yuantiansi.

The priests wearing bird-beak masks sang as they moved forward.

In the pouring rain, they chanted the ritual hymns with great concentration and moved inward against the tide of terrified, screaming and crying people.

As they continued to move forward, one after another of their companions were crushed and swallowed by the water columns falling from the sky.

The water columns became more and more solid.

They were no longer cones and bubbles that fell to the ground, but gradually turned into one spear-like tentacle after another.

The hymns of praise became smaller and smaller, and thinner and thinner.

In the end, only one person was left.

——He was the Water Raven Guard who was ordered by Aiwass to kneel down and never do it again when he was making the Thirst Stone outside the city!

He was not unaware that his colleague was dead.

Rather, he was shaking all over. Not just his limbs, but even his teeth were trembling. Yet he still stared at the sky and sang the hymn bravely and powerfully.

But Yuan Tiansi showed no sign of being appeased.

"In the Age of the Drowned... I, we..."

His lonely and tiny voice was instantly drowned out by the storm.

And at this moment, the sky completely shattered.

In an instant, the vast power from the dream world poured down!

The extremely huge sea monster crashed into the material world with an angry roar!

It has an extremely strange shape - its head looks like a giant whale, but it has no fins. From its head back, there are endless tentacles.

From a great distance, it resembled a dark blue badminton. Its head was a light blue with blood streaks, while the area closer to the "feathers" became a darker, darker blue. Yet, this head alone was already larger than the entire Holy Spring City.

This is even after it was forced to compress its level and reduce its size when it descended into the material world!

When it landed, it knocked down the fourth ring with one head!

A towering tower collapsed and fell to the ground amidst a mournful cry. It should have stirred up a cloud of dust that would linger for a long time, but now it only splashed white waves.

This even left the giant whale without suffering any physical injuries.

And its angry eyes were scarlet... You couldn't see the pupils, only the blood that filled them.

When the giant whale descended, the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

Large areas of buildings collapsed, with visible shockwaves radiating outward. People knelt in agony, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Endless sea water flows from its tentacles, which are clustered like anemones.

In an instant, the ancient capital was submerged by the sea. The rain in the Land of Heaven Collapse was also growing heavier, threatening to submerge the entire Holy Spring City.

——This is Yuan Tiansi.

Representing the principle of world destruction, the despair celestial being who destroys everything equally!

It was about to destroy the entire city-state. Those people had no way to escape, and everyone was about to be drowned in this sea that fell from the sky.

The tsunami has already gathered.

The heavy curtain of water falling from thousands of meters above the sky is about to turn the earth into the ruins of civilization...

But at this moment.

Part of Yuan Tiansi's scarlet pupils turned purple.

It was a dangerous color of purple and red intertwined.

And the curtain of water that was about to fall and the waves that were about to swallow the crowd suddenly stopped at this moment.

It's as if time has stopped.

Even the white waves that were raised high up turned into towering rocks at that moment.

——The sea is frozen.

I'm not feeling well today, so I'll write one first and continue tomorrow...
