Nightfall
/ Nightfall Chapter 772
For a man as powerful as the Abbey Dean, it might be hard for him to foresee the future, but he could easily predict the good and bad luck . Therefore, sneak attacks were meaningless, unless Ning Que was holding an iron bow in his hand as well .
Yu Lian didn't hide and walked out of the storm and snow straightforwardly .
"Nobody can commune with Haotian in the city . "
She looked at the Abbey Dean and said . Then she raised her hands in the air . She had made great achievements in Twenty-Three-year Cicada Cultivation . Her soft hands seemed so small, as if they were like larger snowflakes in the air .
With her hand movements, the falling snowflakes suddenly paused, and then they kept falling . Although instead of drifting, they shivered and danced in the wind tempestuously .
The snowflakes vibrating at high speed gave out an intense and deep sound . The sound resembled numerous cicadas waving their wings at the same time . A yellow leaf was blown up to the snowy sky by the wind and was torn into pieces .
"I didn't expect that you had attained the Divine Demon Realm, to become the first one to have gone beyond the Five States in the Devil's Doctrine . You should've known that Lotus was too afraid to take that step because he couldn't overcome the inexorable doom of his heart . "
"Lin Wu, you're indeed an extraordinary cultivator . "
The Abbey Dean looked up at the numerous snowflakes falling from the sky . He had a look of admiration on his face when he thought of that person . Anyone who could take the Twenty-Three-year Cicada as a disciple was a man to be respected .
"Lucky for me, I've devoted my entire life to make a crack in the city . "
He sighed and reached out his palm .
The center of his palm was facing the sky, and it looked as if he was trying to catch those falling flakes .
What was falling down was more akin to overwhelming power than to snow .
Thick snowy clouds covered Chang'an City .
Overwhelming power fell from heaven above, from a sun hidden by the clouds .
As the exotic power fell in the mortal world, the God-stunning Array reacted in the shortest time . Then more vigorous breaths arose amid the streets and alleys in Chang'an City, pouring into the snowy clouds .
However, since the God-stunning Array had been damaged, the flow of the Qi of Heaven and Earth slowed down .
Finally the overwhelming power fell on Chang'an City .
The thick snowy cloud in the sky was instantly torn, to leave a straight crack in it .
Below the crack was the long and unswerving street .
If someone standing on Vermilion Bird Avenue looked up at the sky, he would see the unbelievable tear in the snowy cloud covering the Firmament . Behind the crack was the blue sky .
Clear and bright sunlight shone from the sky above . Sunlight fell on the street and made the buildings and snowflakes extremely distinct, with a holy golden light on their edge .
All the snowflakes in the sky turned golden and were melting at a visible speed .
The sunlight leaking out of the cloud, and the overwhelming power were falling on the Abbey Dean's body .
That was the power beyond the Five States .
It was the real Haotian Taoism Divine Skill, Haotian Initiation .
Yu Lian stood under the storm and snow, her black ponytail waving slightly .
She felt that the snowflakes were slightly cold .
She had also reached beyond the Five States, and she had seen Xiong Chumo apply the Divine skill of Haotian Initiation .
But still, it was hard for her to imagine that someone in the world could apply the skills beyond the Five States so easily, like picking up a snowflake .
She looked at the man who was still sighing, standing at the opposite end of the Snow Street, and then she lowered down her head .
She looked at the snow in front of her shoes, and then started to write with her eyes .
She wrote attentively .
The Headmaster had asked her to write for many years . And she wrote her own world .
After the first stroke on the snow field, her own world appeared on the Snow Street .
All the snowflakes in the air started dancing wildly, with their edges constantly clashing against the air .
The bleak chirp of cicadas grew .
Numerous snowflakes turned into transparent cicada wings, fluttering and flying at a high speed, covering the sky above the Vermilion Bird Avenue in mere moments .
The Pure Light falling from the cracks in the clouds fell on these snowflakes that could pass for cicada wings, then the light was reflected . The snow floating above the city looked like numerous golden leaves .
An impalpable but extremely strong aura fell on the city with the dancing snow, and had set up a new regime in this world of Haotian's .
The snow stopped falling, and so did the sunshine .
The snow stopped melting, too .
The Snow Street became quiet and cold again .
Pure light enveloped the Abbey Dean's body .
The Abbey Dean silently looked at the girl in the storm and snow .
It was only then that he knew she had reached that state .
He raised his right hand and pointed at her, from the opposite end of the street with four of his fingers curved .
However, before his index finger pointed out, a harsh whistle suddenly emerged from the storm and snow .
The sound must have come from the friction between a quick-spinning round material and the air .
Something approached from the north of Chang'an City . It spun fast, giving out an unstoppable sound of whistling and thunder .
Wanyan Tower was located in the south of the city, and the thing that was approaching was a string of Buddha Beads .
They were Master Huang Yang's Buddha Beads .
The beads were spinning around quickly; and there seemed to be some blood stains over them, which might be the essential blood of Master Huang Yang .
Many years ago, Huang Yang achieved his enlightenment in the depths of the Western Wilderness because of the hot blood of his companions .
For that reason, the Buddha Beads stained with his essential blood were hot as well .
They were so hot that they almost started burning .
A very compassionate but extremely violent fire spurt forth from the rotating Buddha Beads toward the surrounding storm and snow, burning everything they came in contact with .
When the snowflakes touched the beads, they didn't melt into water . Instead, they immediately turned into nothingness .
Master Huang Yang was the Bhadanta of the Buddhism Sect, and one of the rare powerhouses living in this world . The Buddha Beads dyed with his essential blood would burn the heart with fire, which was a great threat to the weak Taoism Hearts of those powerhouses of Haotian Taoism .
A line of fire appeared in the sky above the Vermilion Bird Avenue, and the snow storm seemed to fear the line .
The Beads soared and roared in the air, then suddenly fell silent .
The burning beads then landed on the Abbey Dean's wrist .
Yu Lian looked up . There was a reflection of drifting snowflakes deep in her eyes, and her academy uniform fluttered .
The Qi of Heaven and Earth on the Snow Street became turbulent, indicating that someone was about to make an entrance .
At this time, the connection between Haotian and the Abbey Dean had been cut off in the cicada wings world . Then, it had been blocked by Master Huang Yang's fiery Buddha Beads . Thus he had no way to get out of the street even though he was in the Limitless State .
That was the Academy's plan .
The real attack was coming next .
However, the Abbey Dean still looked just as calm and resolute .
He looked at the Buddha Beads on his wrist .
The Buddha Beads were burning, but his dark-blue Taoist robe hadn't been burnt yet .
While his eyesight settled, his mind changed .
Together with his eyesight, a cold, ancient quietus sense from several inexorable fates fell on the burning Buddha Beads .
Then the fire on the Budhha Beads suddenly was extinguished; the beads turned into decayed wooden spheres .
That was called Quietus .
That was the power beyond the Five States .
In mere moments two kinds of realms beyond the Five States appeared on the Snow Street .
Both of them came from the Abbey Dean .
Still, he remained standing on the Snow Street, surrounded by the storm and snow . He was trapped in Yu Lian's world and couldn't break out of it .
On the snow field which was more than a thousand feet away, two foot prints appeared .
The snowflakes fell on the cotton jacket and disappeared .
Then the cotton jacket disappeared in the storm and snow .
Eldest Brother attacked .
The Abbey Dean raised his eyebrows slightly, and his right hand pulled back like an old pine tree in the wind . He then held the Buddha Beads on his wrist tightly, and disappeared .
Half of the Snow Street was a tiny world .
The cotton jacket and the dark-blue Taoist robe went in and out of the storm and snow . They showed up everywhere in the city; by the snowy well in the Nouthern Street, and then beside the shops in the south of the city .
That was the Abbey Dean and the Eldest Brother chasing after each other .
In the Limitless State .
They moved in such a small scale at a speed faster than thought . It might last a moment, but it was far more dangerous than the previous six days when they chased each other amidst rivers and hills .
The storm and snow resumed, and Yu Lian's black and long ponytail dangled around her waist .
She looked peaceful and concentrated; the snowflakes reflected in her eyes were becoming denser .
She had executed the Divine Demon Realm to the extreme .
Numerous snowflakes floated over Vermilion Bird Avenue, each of them being like a cicada . The sky was filled with them, producing an endless killing aura which concentrated on the Snow Street .
The half Snow Street was her world .
No matter how quickly the Abbey Dean could move, he couldn't possibly move faster than the original rules of the world .
A snow flake fell slowly in front of the deputy yamen's gate of the Ministry of Revenue's Clean Water Agency .
There was nothing there previously .
But as the snow flake fell down, a cracking sound resounded .
The heavy storm and snow forced the Abbey Dean to show himself .
On the chest piece of his black robe, there was a new and narrow wound .
At the top of Wanyan Tower .
Master Huang Yang sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures with his palms put together . The blood before him dripped down like a melting candle .
Before the tower, dozens of monks of the temple knelt on the snow field and they were also chanting scriptures .
The Buddha Beads around the right wrist of the Abbey Dean stopped burning .
However, they did not fall .
The Beads turned scarlet, as beautiful as pomegranates .
The chanting came out of the snow storm .
The beads kept shrinking .
White snow covered the stone steps before the government office .
Eldest Brother showed up by the snowy steps, and hit the Abbey Dean on the head with the rod .
The Abbey Dean had a solemn expression . He pulled out his sword with a clang .
Elder Brother's feet had sunk in the snow .
Blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth .
But he didn't retreat and instead, he wielded the rod and struck again .
The Abbey Dean raised his sword and cleaved down again .
The strikes might look simple, but actually, they were quite complicated .
The sword and the rod were now being wielded in the Limitless State, and they were moving at such a high speed that in a short moment they had clashed countless times .
Blood was all over Eldest Brother's cotton jacket, and shallow sword marks covered his wooden rod .
The expression on the Abbey Dean's face became graver and graver .
At the opposite end of the Snow Street, Yu Lian suddenly took a step forward .
Snowflakes were falling on the Abbey Dean .
The Abbey Dean waved his sleeves, and then all cicadas went silent . The snow storm was disturbed and turned into a mess .
Yet not a single snowflake had fallen on him .
He held the sword and retreated, then he raised his palm and pointed to the sky .
Endless power fell from heaven above . It fell from the cracks in the clouds like lightning, attaching itself on the floating snowflakes, to then fall on the transparent screen of the world .
The Snow Street was disturbed, and the snow fell off the eaves like waterfalls .
Yu Lian moaned and stopped moving .
The Abbey Dean casually tossed the Taoist Sword into the snow storm .
Moments later, he appeared before Eldest Brother and parried the wooden rod .
He was only using a finger .
The rod then shook uneasily, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth grew restless .
Eldest Brother retreated to the other side of the Snow Street . He pressed a hand on his chest and coughed, with a look of extreme pain .
The Abbey Dean again looked to his right wrist .
The scarlet Buddha Beads kept shrinking, and they were about to press into his flesh .
He slightly frowned and seemed a little bit unhappy .
All of a sudden, the snow storm ended .
The Abbey Dean instantly seemed as if he had grown many times taller .
In fact, he was just standing still in the storm and snow .
An aura filled the surrounding space . It was as vast and boundless as the ocean .
Then suddenly, the string of the Buddha Beads broke .
Dozens of Buddha Beads flew away, whistling into the air .
Several round holes appeared on the gate of the Clean Water Agency's yamen .
Not far away, a wall collapsed with light smoke and dust rising into the air .
The Buddha Beads were still hot . Although they had stopped burning, wood surfaces were scorched as soon as they came in contact with them .
The snow storm was stilled, but the fire was slowly extinguished .
At the top of Wanyan Tower .
Master Huang Yang was in pain, clutching his chest with blood all over his palms .
He looked at the snowy street in the south, and said in a trembling voice, "Is it the Boundless?"
The secret skill of the Buddhism Sect, the Boundless .
Another realm beyond the Five States .
