Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Swish! Swish!

Five days after the second army was deployed from the East Imperial Continent, countless figures shout out from the Buddha Mountain. Yi Chan’s oldest and second brothers—Yi Zhen and Yi Shan, as well as a few other Demigods from the Chan Clan, were all present. They were flying at crazy speeds toward the Buddha Thearch City. Yi Zhen shouted from far away, “Little Sister, where are you going? Stop teleporting!”

The soldiers inside the Teleportation Formation were about to teleport her away but stopped on hearing Yi Zhen’s command. Yi Chan, who was inside the Teleportation Formation as well, turned to face the group. “I’ve already made up my mind. Don’t try to persuade me otherwise, Oldest Brother, Second Brother. You know my personality. I’m leaving the Yi Clan in your hands.”

“No way!”

The group continued to rush over. Yi Zhen’s expression was full of determination as he said, “Little Sister, don’t do anything stupid. You cannot save Jiang Yi. You would only be sending yourself to die.”

Yi Shan nodded. “Little Sister, Grandfather and Majesty Father might not have fallen. You cannot do anything stupid. Someone like Jiang Yi would emerge without any harm. You won’t be able to help him either way.”

“Hehe.”

Yi Chan laughed bitterly. “I believe Grandfather and the others might not have fallen as well, but we alone cannot save them. Only Jiang Yi can. That’s why I have to go and try. Don’t worry about me—I have the Heavenly Thunder True Body. The thunder and lightning will not kill me. It’s already been more than five months. Jiang Yi still cannot break out of the array formation. If I don’t go, he will die for sure.”

“Uh—”

Neither Yi Zhen nor Yi Shan knew what to say in response. The Black Sea was far too dangerous. Even after the Buddha Emperor and the Demigods of the Yi Clan went there, they became uncontactable. There was really no way that the Yi Clan would be able to rescue their family members on their own. Jiang Yi had the Mystic Divine Palace; he could give it a try.

Yi Chan also had a special astral body, the Heavenly Thunder True Body. Everybody knew this. She could train herself in the Thunder Sprint Art because of this body of hers. She was once able to cause lightning and thunder in the Desolate East Sea for three years running. Her body was extremely resistant to the attack of lightning and thunder, but the World-Destroying Sky Thunder Formation that Jiang Yi was stuck in was different. It was divine thunder and lightning from above the Nine Heavens. That was the reason that everybody was worried about her.

Yet, the most important thing was that the crowd could sense Yi Chan’s determination from the way she spoke. It was obvious that she had set her mind to it already. Even if she was not confident of rescuing Jiang Yi, she was prepared to die trying.

“If you want to go, we will go together!”

Yi Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted after pondering over it for a few seconds. Yi Shan nodded as well. The remaining consecrators of the Yi Clan looked somber and helpless. Yi Zhen and Yi Shan’s personalities were calm and gentle; they were not the type to fight battles. If Yi Chan were to die on this mission, the Yi Clan would lose its backbone.

“Oldest Brother, Second Brother.”

Yi Chan looked them both in the eyes coolly. In a very serious tone, she said, “We are not children playing Home. You are both old enough. Can you be more mature? The clan might be destroyed at any moment; you have to be ready to hold it up. Grandfather and Majesty Father are not here anymore. The both of you are now the commanders of the entire clan. Hundreds of millions of civilians in the four cities are counting on you to protect them. At a time like this, how can you be more concerned about having my back?

“Disciples of the Yi Clan, listen up! When I’m not around, Oldest Brother will be the leader! If anything happens, go to the Snow Region immediately!”

Once Yi Chan finished speaking, she turned around and shouted, “Activate the Teleportation Formation!”

Yi Zhen and Yi Shan did not say another word. All they could do was stand by quietly as they watched the Teleportation Formation activate. They saw Yi Chan’s beautiful and slender body disappear into the formation and then closed their eyes in pain. What could be more painful than watching their own blood sister send herself to death?

…

The entire time that she was teleporting, Yi Chan had no guards with her. She had spent several months trying to prepare herself for this decision. In these few months, she arranged all the matters in the Yi Clan and handed them over. She had been hoping that a miracle would occur in the process, and the Buddha Thearch and Buddha Emperor would return. She had also been hoping that Jiang Yi would break out of the array formation.

Alas, nothing happened. She had no choice but to take this risk!

She had to find a way to break through the array formation and rescue Jiang Yi. However, this was not just so Jiang Yi could go and rescue the Buddha Thearch and Buddha Thearch. Instead, there was another important reason. At some point in time, Yi Chan realized that she was deeply in love with Jiang Yi, the spy from Sin Island—the charming and mysterious man.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yi had seen every inch of her body at the Desolate East Sea, or because there were too many mysteries and miracles in Jiang Yi’s being. Perhaps it was his charm, the fact that he had chosen to die together with her in the Mystic Thearch Palace’s ice lake than to give her up, or the fact that Yin Ruobing—a disciple of one of the Nine Thearch Clans—had fallen for him as well.

In the recent few months, Yi Chan kept asking herself if she could give Jiang Yi up and live the rest of her life in solitude. At last, she realized that the answer was no!

Life without Jiang Yi would be too dry and boring.

She was trained in zen, but it was a pity that she could not reach the Buddha Thearch’s level of zen. There was no way that she could commit to a basic life of solitude. Her heart craved for the skies, and she yearned for an exciting life. She would rather die chasing excitement than to live a long, lonely, boring life.

That was how she decided to go to Stupa City. She would either break the array formation or die with Jiang Yi!

The thirty-six clans, including the Zi Clan, had already asked their soldiers to retreat. Many cities had already been taken over, but many big cities’ Teleportation Formations still remained intact. Yi Chan teleported very quickly through the cities. In just half a day, she arrived at a big city a thousand kilometers east of Stupa City.

When she arrived there, she realized that she could no longer teleport any further. Yi Chan flew out of the city on her own and sped toward Stupa City. She was quite powerful—a five-star martial artist. However, she was sure that she would perish if she met a Demigod along the way. Still, she was not frightened. Like a purple flash of lightning, she flew toward Stupa City.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The divine lightning bolts danced in the sky as the sound of divine thunder hurt her ears. She had already taken off her ghost mask, revealing her beautiful face; but she did not summon her divine shield. Instead, she activated her Thunder Sprint Art. Bolts of lightning circles around her, causing her purple robes and hair to whip around in the wind. Against the pitch-black sky, she really looked like a lightning goddess.

She was getting closer and closer.

She could already see the purple divine thunder array formation. The sound of the thunder was becoming more frightening. Yi Chan had no choice but to switch off her hearing abilities. Otherwise, she was sure that the sounds themselves would be the cause of her death.

The lightning bolts tore the night sky apart. An earth-shattering aura accompanied each strike of lightning, which carried a frightening pressure that pressed down against Yi Chan. Her heart rate quickened, and the essence force in her body began to stir. She could almost smell death.

“Hey? Why isn’t the Mystic Divine Palace moving? Is Jiang Yi crazy?”

From several kilometers away, Yi Chan noticed that the Mystic Divine Palace was floating in mid-air inside the thunder formation. Her beautiful eyes darted around. There were still two weeks to go before the Mystic Divine Palace would have been in the formation for six months. However, if the palace was not moving, Yi Chan was sure that it would not last the full six months. That meant that it could be destroyed in a matter of days.

That was these few days!

Yi Chan moved a few kilometers closer. This time, she could look through the protective layer around the thunder formation, straight at the Mystic Divine Palace. She saw the light around the Mystic Divine Palace become dimmer. The lightning and thunder kept attacking the restrictions around the palace so that its glow threatened to go out completely. It looked like the palace was almost completely out of energy. For all she knew, it could explode at any moment.

“Risk it!”

Yi Chan was so thankful that she had decided to set off ten or so days earlier. If she had waited just a few more days, the Mystic Divine Palace could have been destroyed already. Determination filled her beautiful eyes. The lightning bolts around her body intensified, and she burst into the thunder array formation.

She had a rare Heavenly Thunder True Body, probably the only one in the entire East Imperial Continent. She could absorb lightning with her body. At that moment, she decided that she would use her own body to absorb the power of the divine thunder and lightning from above the Nine Heavens. Then, she would use that same power to break the array.

She was going to take a gamble, and the stakes were her life. If her body was not able to withstand the power of the divine thunder and lightning, she would be reduced to dust!
