Chapter 1663 [Key of the Door] Makes a Move
The severed finger of [Chaos] swept across the sky, moving hundreds of miles in just seconds.
Chang’an city had already disappeared at the horizon’s edge. Seeing that Lin Qiye and the Kusanagi sword hadn’t caught up, the voice from the severed finger finally spoke:
“There’s the Asylum of Gods, and he possesses a causality-type Forbidden Domain… who exactly is this kid?”
“If we don’t deal with him promptly, he might actually become a threat to us…”
“However, after being tricked by me twice, he probably won’t be so easily fooled again…”
As the severed finger pondered, fierce winds swept around it. Suddenly, the landscape below changed, and the collapsed city wall appeared before its eyes again!
“What’s happening? I’m back??” Its confused voice rang out.
In the rising dust, a young man stood in the depths of the ruins holding the Kusanagi sword, looking up at it with eyes calm as an abyss.
“How did you do this? There wasn’t any space-time fluctuation along the way,” the finger asked gravely, already guessing it had fallen into some ability of Lin Qiye’s with almost no chance of escape.
“Two people destined to meet will always meet again no matter how far apart they are… isn’t that right?” Lin Qiye calmly replied.
If this severed finger could see causality, it would notice that its causality threads and Lin Qiye’s were tightly intertwined by [Predetermined Outcome], their connection a thousand times stronger than “destined love.”
Under such a tight bond, no matter which direction it fled, it would ultimately return to Lin Qiye’s side.
Lin Qiye flicked his sword-holding hand lightly, and a flash of sword light pierced through the finger, pinning it directly to a thick city wall. Drops of blood seeped from the finger, emitting a nauseating stench.
He stepped forward, slowly walking toward the finger pinned by the Kusanagi sword.
“Lin Qiye, do you think killing me will end everything?” the finger’s voice sounded again. [Chaos] showed no fear whatsoever. “Kill me, and my main body will only lose a finger… this changes nothing.
As long as you exist in this era, [The Key to the Door] won’t let you go. Once I fail, He will reach across time and space to act himself…
Do you think you can survive in His hands?”
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the finger without speaking.
He knew [Chaos] was right. Since [The Key to the Door] possessed omniscient abilities, everything he was doing now was under its observation… Having obtained [Causeless Cause] and [Predetermined Outcome] would only make him more of a priority for [The Key to the Door], which would use even more powerful means to kill him!
BOOM—!!!
Just as the finger finished speaking, a tremendous roar came from the sky, making even the ground of Chang’an shake violently.
Lin Qiye looked up and saw a space-time vortex gradually forming above the split clouds. Dense black lightning moved within the vortex, and a vast, terrifying aura began emanating from it!
Lin Qiye was familiar with this aura. Not long ago, when fighting with An Qingyu, he had sensed this power from the crack of the Door of Truth… It was the power of truth, the power of [The Key to the Door].
And the center of that space-time vortex hung directly above his head!
“Hahaha…” Seeing this, the finger couldn’t help but laugh. “See? I was right! He has made His move!”
Lin Qiye frowned as he watched the black lightning blooming from the space-time vortex, his expression extremely grave.
He had just escaped death and recovered his own Forbidden Domain. If he were to be killed now by [The Key to the Door] across the river of time, everything would be meaningless… He absolutely could not die here!
Lin Qiye’s mind raced. He glanced at Chang’an city behind the wall, then transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward the wilderness away from the city!
As he moved, the space-time vortex brewing with lightning in the sky moved simultaneously, like a giant abyssal eye locked onto Lin Qiye, its world-destroying aura spreading madly!
Lin Qiye sprinted along the uninhabited wilderness for hundreds of miles before stopping.
By now, the space-time vortex locked onto Lin Qiye had fully formed. Surging lightning poured into the center of the vortex. As the last arc disappeared, the world suddenly fell into dead silence.
This sudden silence didn’t make Lin Qiye lower his guard. The calm before a storm is always unusually quiet. Every muscle in his body tensed as he faced the imminent threat.
In the silent world, a roaring pillar of lightning crashed down from the space-time vortex!
Rather than a pillar of lightning, it would be more accurate to call it a lightning domain. The pillar’s radius was several miles wide, visible even from Chang’an hundreds of miles away, instantly illuminating the entire night sky!
Lin Qiye stood at the center of this falling lightning domain, his pupils contracting violently as his figure was instantly engulfed in the lightning!
The thick earth melted like snow in the lightning domain. Shockwaves of lightning arcs spread in all directions, leveling mountains and hills. From a distance, one could see a white-hot explosion expanding like a sphere at the edge of the horizon!
Seconds later, a deafening blast that made ears ring echoed through the sky!
BOOM—!!!!
…
“What was that?!”
Inside the prismatic smoke, Chloe, who had been fighting her counterfeit, suddenly changed expression.
She turned toward the direction of the roar. Through the sword mark in the center of the smoke, she could see a white-hot lightning sphere expanding madly on the distant ground. A world-destroying aura emanated from it, and even the scattered electric arcs could easily wipe out an entire city-state.
“Who’s there?” Chloe’s pupils contracted slightly.
She didn’t know where that lightning domain came from, but judging by its aura, even ten of her combined couldn’t survive that explosion… It was simply not something humans could resist!
While she was distracted, the counterfeit that had been fighting her suddenly changed direction, rapidly retreating into the prismatic smoke and disappearing in an instant.
Seeing this, Chloe was about to give chase, but after a moment’s thought, she changed direction and rushed straight toward the willow tree. The two figures gradually disappeared into the surging smoke.
…
Chang’an city wall.
In the aftermath of the lightning domain’s impact, dust charged with electricity danced in the air, with static electricity running through the atmosphere. In the devastated ruins, the bloodied Huo Qubing slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the scorching lightning sphere in the distance, his expression was extremely grave. He used his spear to support himself, staggering to his feet and slowly moving toward the lightning.
“Lin Qiye…” he muttered weakly while coughing.
