Falling in Love with a 500-year-old female elder - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: This finger runs through the sky and the earth, separating the sun and the moon!

Boom!

A terrifying beam of light erupted from Ning Chuan’s fingertips, instantly obliterating everything in its path and casting an eerie silence across the land. The once boundless night sky was torn asunder by this otherworldly radiance, its power unrivaled and unstoppable. The thick clouds that once filled the heavens were torn apart by the force of this luminous onslaught.

Boom!!!

Pang Du, who had been celebrating his escape, suddenly felt a searing sensation on his back, followed by an immense brilliance emanating from behind. His gaze stiffened as he turned his head to see the source of the light. A colossal beam of radiant energy, akin to divine lightning, was hurtling toward him with unimaginable speed.

Initially just a speck in the distant sky, the terrifying beam rapidly expanded in Pang Du’s wide eyes. In an instant, the once distant spot had become an impending cataclysm, accompanied by the roaring of wind and thunder. Before he could fully comprehend the situation, the beam was nearly upon him, an irreversible fate hurtling his way.

“No!!!” Pang Du’s face contorted in terror, a scream escaping his lips. However, before he could react further, the annihilating light pierced straight through his chest. His physical form and very essence dissolved under the overwhelming assault, disintegrating in the wake of the energy’s passage. Even after ending Pang Du, the beam didn’t falter; it pressed on into the vast night.

As the beam surged onward, the entire city of Lin’an was illuminated as if it were day. Countless inhabitants of the city were drawn to the brilliance, looking skyward in perplexity and awe. The spectacle before them would be etched into their memories forever—an ethereal finger transformed into a beam of light, piercing through the very fabric of the cosmos, transcending all celestial bodies.

……

Within the confines of the Seven Blessings Inn, Ning Chuan withdrew his finger, admiring the incredible power of the technique. It was indeed worthy of the ancient Desolate Heavenly Emperor’s mastery. This single technique possessed the potential to annihilate any foe below the King Realm within this Nine Mysteries World.

“Ache~~~”

Ning Chuan yawned and then fell asleep. The identity and purpose of the attacker were of little concern to him.

……

Meanwhile, on the inn’s rooftop, Nan Yuexi and Elder Fei Long gaped in astonishment. The implications of the displayed power had left them utterly dumbfounded.

“Our Heavenly Saint Palace’s techniques were thought to be unparalleled, yet this…this world still harbors such unimaginable divine abilities,” Elder Fei Long muttered, his voice tinged with both wonder and trepidation.

His aged face displayed a clear expression of surprise. Naturally, a gap exists between strong and weak skills. People in comparable situations frequently wield vastly distinct combat abilities due to variations in spells and supernatural powers.

The Heaven-Saint Palace had long garnered renown for its extraordinary supernatural prowess, a source of pride for its members. Yet, the scene that had just unfolded shattered their convictions. Ning Chuan’s display of a formidable supernatural power—one capable of rendering reality and slicing through celestial bodies—was in a league of its own.

Even to someone as accomplished as him, a semi-saint in this realm, the essence of this supernatural power eluded his comprehension. The scope of its potential far exceeded what he could grasp.

“This… defies all conventions of magical powers within this world!” Elder Fei Long’s voice trembled slightly as he drew a deep breath, his eyes ablaze with intensity. Across his lifetime, he had encountered an extensive array of magical abilities and spells, akin to an endless sea. Yet, none could hold a candle to what he had just witnessed.

Nan Yuexi’s typically composed demeanor wavered, a sense of danger radiating from the otherworldly strength Ning Chuan had demonstrated. She, being capable of subduing and eliminating King Realm opponents, had felt genuinely threatened.

Nan Yuexi’s voice broke the silence, “It appears… my suspicions might be correct.” She continued to mutter to herself, hinting at her thoughts on Ning Chuan’s origins.

Curiosity piqued, Master Fei Long turned to Nan Yuexi, his gaze intense. She elaborated, “Elder Fei Long, have you ever heard of the ‘Heavenly Mystery Building’?”

Elder Fei Long inquired, “So, Nan Yuexi, do you suspect that this Ning Chuan may have ties to the Heavenly Mystery Building?”

Sky secret building!

Indeed, this was an existence that commanded the awe and reverence of all.

In the sprawling expanse of the Nine Mysterious Realm, diverse forces vied for prominence. Among them were the Immortal Taoist sects, such as the timeless Heavenly Saint Palace, housing true saints who had perpetuated their legacy over millennia. Equally formidable was the Great Yan Dynasty, an unrivaled empire seated in the heart of the realm, its dominance spanning eight regions and no one daring to challenge its might.

Amidst this tapestry of powers, the array was more diverse than words could describe. But among them all, there stood a single force that was unparalleled in its mystery and might—the Sky Secret Building. Its existence commanded respect and awe.

The inception of the Heavenly Mystery Building was shrouded in obscurity, its origins lost to time. Whispers among the populace suggested that it had existed since the very opening of the Nine Mysterious Realm. Yet, crucial details remained elusive: the whereabouts of its mountain gate, the identity of its owner, and the extent of its power and membership.

One undeniable truth resonated: the Heavenly Mystery Building possessed an unparalleled ability to perceive the past, present, and future. Its influence even extended to the annihilation of an immortal orthodoxy with effortless ease. From the very onset of the Nine Mysterious Realm, the presence of the Sky Secret Building cast its shadow over every vibrant world. Across the vast river of time, it manifested in different eras, shaping events, and governing the very laws of the cosmos.

This very reputation engendered a pervasive legend in the Nine Mysterious Realm—a belief that the arrival of a figure from the Sky Secret Building heralded the commencement of a new epoch.
