Chapter 2420 - The End of Ties
Chapter 2420: The End of Ties
Immediately, the Heaven-obscuring Barrier of Flowing Water shattered.
“Kai Ya, leave with the Anatta Tower!” Jian Chen responded extremely quickly. He cut open space with the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways and shoved the fist-sized Anatta Tower into Kai Ya’s hands. At the same time, he activated the Cosmic Movement Talisman he had found from the Primordial realm expert of the Moon God Hall without any hesitation and stuck it on Kai Ya. Then he pushed her into the spatial crack.
His thought process was very simple. He wanted Kai Ya to take the Anatta Tower, and then activate the Cosmic Movement Talisman in the spatial crack so that she would be taken to somewhere unknown.
Kai Ya would face no danger in the spatial crack if she possessed the Anatta Tower.
He could only remain behind to cover her, using the fusion of the twin swords to handle the Elder of Mountains and Seas or even kill him.
As long as the Elder of Mountains and Seas remained alive, Kai Ya would be found once again even if she left with the Anatta Tower.
However, at this moment, Kai Ya actually forcefully flew back out from the spatial crack. She smiled faintly and seemed liberated. She said slowly, “Jian Chen, if you want to leave, leave by yourself. I hope you will think of me often and not forget about me once I die,” Kai Ya said gently. She pecked Jian Chen’s cheek gently with her lips.
“Hmph, you’re facing death, yet you’re still in the mood to act lovey-dovey? Do you think you still have the opportunity to escape before me?” The Elder of Mountains and Seas snorted coldly. His terrifying presence crushed the space there, causing it to seize up. Jian Chen immediately felt like he had been immobilised.
However, Kai Ya was unaffected. She could move about as she wished in the frozen space. She used the Laws of Creation, Destruction, and Fire simultaneously, knocking the immobilised Jian Chen into the spatial crack.
“Kai Ya!” Jian Chen’s face changed drastically as he fell into the spatial crack. He cried out.
Kai Ya stood on the Star Brilliance Plane and looked at Jian Chen with a smile. She seemed to be at ease, showing no fear as she faced death.
Afterwards, she looked at the Elder of Mountains and Seas indifferently.
Immediately, a blue light enveloped Kai Ya. The blue light had been condensed from the Elder of Mountains and Seas’ ways. It was the power of laws, containing unbelievable might. Kai Ya’s body began to disintegrate at a visible rate under the blue light, leaving nothing behind.
“Kai Ya, no!” Jian Chen bellowed out furiously. His eyes turned bloodshot; he wanted to charge out again.
He watched Kai Ya die before him helplessly. The grief and sorrow he suffered were enough to cause him to end himself.
However, at this moment, the Cosmic Movement Talisman activated. A dense power surged out and vanished with him. The spatial crack gradually closed up as well.
“You’re dreaming if you want to escape after ending up in my hands,” the Elder of Mountains and Seas was furious. He had managed to corner Jian Chen after chasing him for so long in outer space and expending so much effort. How could he just allow Jian Chen to escape before him?
The Elder of Mountains and Seas extended a finger. The power of laws descended, and a terrifying energy ripped through space. He was about to pursue Jian Chen.
He could tell from a single glance that Jian Chen’s Cosmic Movement Talisman was not of particularly great quality. Even if he were transported away, he would not be far.
Kai Ya’s body rapidly disintegrated as all of this happened. She was reduced to dust from the Elder of Mountains and Seas’ attack, dispersing into the surroundings bit by bit.
It was her legs first, before spreading to her waist, and then the upper half of her body in the end.
In an instant, Kai Ya’s entire body vanished completely, leaving only her head behind.
The head rapidly disintegrated as well.
There was no fear in her eyes at all. There were only sorrow and deep reluctance.
She knew she was about to die. She did not fear death because she should have died back in the lower world. She had only awakened again because of Jian Chen. Her sorrow and reluctance came from the fact that she understood she would not be able to accompany Jian Chen ever again. She would not be able to fight at his side again.
At this moment, Kai Ya’s face suddenly stiffened up. The light in her eyes suddenly vanished as if she had forgotten about her pain, her worries, and all feelings.
In the next moment, a cold gaze appeared in Kai Ya’s eyes, directly gazing towards the Elder of Mountains of Seas.
Under the icy gaze, the Elder of Mountains and Seas who had ripped open space and was about to pursue Jian Chen quivered inside. A strange coldness filled his entire body.
The Elder of Mountains and Seas unintentionally glanced at Kai Ya’s head, and his gaze just happened to lock onto her eyes.
The Elder of Mountains and Seas immediately shuddered when they made eye contact. The gaze seemed to possess the might of the heavens and infinite power. Just a single glance had filled his entire soul with fear. His body turned cold, his blood stopped flowing, and a chill ran down his spine.
What kind of eyes were they? They were cold, emotionless, just like the eyes of heaven. They looked down on all existences like they were ants. Even for someone as powerful as the Elder of Mountains and Seas, he could not help but grow cold inside. An inexplicable fear filled his mind completely.
Even though he was a Grand Prime, he was unable to remain unaffected.
Fortunately, this gaze only lasted for a split second before Kai Ya’s head completely disintegrated and dispersed into the surroundings. Nothing was left behind, including her soul. The gaze that struck fear into the heart of the Elder of Mountains and Seas had vanished with it.
The Elder of Mountains and Mountains froze up there. He did not move, nor did he pursue Jian Chen, as he could not forget the terrifying gaze he had just witnessed.
Even though it was just a split second, the split second had left a permanent mark in the heart of the Elder of Mountains and Seas. He still had not recovered from the coldness in his heart even now.
However, what the Elder of Mountains and Seas failed to realise was that once Kai Ya died, a spiritual light that no one could sense was left behind. The light was extremely well-hidden, and even the Elder of Mountains and Seas failed to sense it at all despite their proximity.
With a flash, the light vanished. It flickered through the stars at a shocking rate. It could cross the distance of a plane or even several of them with each flicker such that even Grand Primes would be astounded by its speed.
In just a few seconds, the light basically crossed through half of the Saints’ World. It passed by over a dozen great planes and entered a majestic, golden divine hall.
A figure stood in the depths of the divine hall. He shone with a hazy glow, concealed by the light from the ways. He seemed to be a part of the world.
The light arrived before the figure. With a flash, it vanished between the figure’s forehead.
The figure shrouded by the light trembled gently. He slowly opened his eyes and revealed a pair of emotionless eyes.
However, very soon, a ripple appeared in his eyes. His eyes seemed to gain some color as if many scenes were flickering through the eyes. It was as if a stone had been cast into a lake—they were no longer calm.
However, this only lasted for a short while. He closed and opened his eyes again, and he recovered the prior coldness.
“My ties… with you… end here…” he murmured to himself. The voice was utterly emotionless, and it was impossible to distinguish his gender from that. Afterwards, a jade-white hand extended out from the light into the space in front.
The space before the hand was like a lake of clear water, allowing the hand to sink into it silently.
