Thud! With a thunderous sound, the huge purple foot stepped down from the eastern sky. The animals and birds within several thousand miles fled for their lives. The primeval forest bent down as if it was suffering a terrible super-typhoon.
Boom! All of a sudden, an incandescent ray of lightning flashed in the north and struck the mountain where Austin and the old man were standing.
The tremendous sound shook the whole mountain. Austin, Caroline and Tyler covered their ears quickly. The impact of the thunderous sound was so strong that the earth beneath heaved violently Black hued lightning flashed wildly through the air, hitting the ground relentlessly.
Swish! At the stime, there was a strong golden flash in the south. Like a golden dragon with immense power, a huge golden spear darted towards the peak where the old man stood.
And in the west, with a loud screaming sound, a giant silver condor flew out from the billowing clouds.
The huge bird looked like it had been cast in silver. It was so huge that its wings stretched across thousands of meters, covering the whole sky like a huge cloud. Its two silver claws, shining with cold luster, stretched out from the sky and tried to grab the old man as its talons clutched the peak of the mountain.
Slowly the people hidden in the surrounding area began launching their attacks. They were playing their aces, powerful and merciless.
Austin, Caroline and Tyler panicked. They felt their lives were at stake. It was like being in a small boat that was floating on the rough sea. Not only their bodies, but their souls also were shaking, fearing that any moment they would be swallowed by the wave. The attacks hurled at them from the sky were so terrible that they lost their confidence and mindset to fight back. They were shell- shocked.
"Hmm!" The old man snorted and stood up suddenly. He stamped hard on the ground, and a bright white glow radiated from beneath his feet. Like rippling water, the circles of bright white light spread in all directions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn a short moment, there were tens of thousands of white light columns that shot out from the ground to the sky within several miles.
The circular pillars of light were like brilliant fireworks and they instantly filled up the whole sky as rose. Everything between heaven and earth becbright and illuminated by those pillars of light.
These light columns went straight into the sky and seemed to connect the sky and the earth. They were magnificent and were accompanied by a rumbling sound like mountain torrents striking the rocks.
The huge purple foot that trampled down from the eastern sky was bombarded by those numerous light columns. Within seconds, it began to disintegrate. Soon, the purple giant collapsed and its huge body burst into pieces.
Meanwhile, in the northern sky, the lightning bolts were also bombarded by the white light pillars. A moment later, all the black lightning bolts were annihilated and they disappeared.
In the western sky, the silver-white condor shrieked angrily, smashing the light columns with its powerful claws.
Even the condor was bombarded by the light columns and finally collapsed as well.
At the stime, the golden spear was also in a fierce battle with the light columns in the southern sky. With the bursting golden light, energy was surging.
A moment later, the golden spear suddenly changed its direction and shot back into the distant horizon. Apparently, it was defeated.
Looking up at the fierce battle taking place in the sky, Austin was totally astonished.
He had never seen such a fierce battle, as if the whole world was participating in the war. He felt amazed while he kept watching the scene before his eyes.
The old man was able to defend himself and repelled all the fatal attacks from the air with only one skill.
'What kind of a skill is this? It's really awesome!' Austin thought in amazement.
His heart was filled with a strong sense of admiration for the old man.
"Since it was you who took the lead, don't blme for being rude and cruel!" shouted the old man.
He took a breath before he called out, "The Sky-imprisoning Cage!" As soon as the old man shouted hose words, the crust of the earth burst open and thick white columns of light rose once again. The light columns converged and intertwined mid-air. ¡wAnd in an instant, everyone saw the white columns of light forming a huge cage with an area of several hundred square meters. The huge cage flew into the sky and disappeared from their view.
Boom! Bang! The fight in the clouds turned more violent, making the whole sky shake and resonate with screams and sounds of clashing. "It'll be better if the three of you stay in this mountain. Don't move!" The old man advised them before he flew up into the sky.
"Aren't you all coveting the holy weapon that belongs to our FlHoly Land? Let you see it now." The old man's voice seemed to echo in the sky as loud as thunder.
A small and delicate nine-layer red pagoda appeared in his hand when he stretched it out.
Soon, an overwhelming mysterious aura emanated from the pagoda. It was strong and caused strange rippling movement in the air.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, it looked as if tad stopped, and the heaven and earth were trembling. All the people resent there could feel a tremor vhich shook not just their bodies ut also the depths of their souls.
A strong and mysterious aura swept over the mountain. Austin was too terrified and did not dare to move even an inch.
He was afraid that his body would crack or burst off any moment under that strange aura which was filling up the air.
In a flash, still holding the small pagoda in his hand, the old man rushed into the rolling clouds that had covered the sky and the sun.
In the space behind layers of clouds, the war seemed to have got more intense and fiercer. With every passing moment, it was becoming horrifying.
The sky was shaking violently with blood-curdling screams and cries of people being killed mercilessly.
"No!" "Help!" "Aah!" With those screams echoing around, blood poured down like raindrops. Suddenly a corpse fell from the sky.
Swish! Suddenly, from maybe thousands of miles away, ca brilliant ribbon in everyone's view. No one could see its origin but it lashed before their eyes.
It got closer to the corpse that had fallen from the sky and rolled it up. Once it was secure in its grip, the ribbon disappeared in the distant sky.
Soon another corpse fell from the sky. Before reaching the ground, it exploded into pieces.
The flesh and bones were scattered in all directions. It was a bloody scene.
One after another, corpses kept falling from the sky after every few minutes.
And every ta corpse fell, the bright ribbon appeared immediately, rolled itself around the corpse and took it away.
Apparently, someone in the distance ldidn't want to leave the corpses there. Probably he was afraid that the old man would look at the corpses after the war and recognize their true identities. Someone was very keen on hiding the corpses.
