LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 381
Then, Lin Beifan saw an overflowing flood.
The flood had risen above the banks, surging violently toward the streets, where the people on the banks were desperately running and shouting in an attempt to escape the flood’s ‘pursuit’.
However, many could not outrun it and were swallowed by the raging torrents of water.
Lin Beifan also saw many powerful martial artists attempting to rescue the civilians amidst the flood, but their efforts were like trying to extinguish a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.
Faced with a natural disaster, human strength ultimately could not defy the heavens.
In the midst of this overwhelming flood, Lin Beifan also saw two powerful beings engaged in battle.
One was a female creature with a human head and a serpent body, similar to Medusa.
The difference was that while Medusa was enchantingly beautiful, this creature looked exceedingly gentle and radiated a maternal glow.
The power she wielded was immense, brimming with vibrant life force, somewhat akin to the power of creation.
The other powerful entity was a large monster with eight bizarre heads.It had a ferocious appearance and roared wildly, seemingly possessing the power to shake the heavens and the earth.
Lin Beifan felt that this natural disaster of a flood was caused by this being.
It seemed to have the power to control water.
At this moment, Lin Beifan had recognized this world.
“This is the world of ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’!”
The woman with the human head and serpent body is a descendant of the goddess Nüwa.
And the monster capable of controlling water was an ancient demon beast—the Water Demon Beast.
One was striving to protect the world, and the other was intent on its destruction. Naturally, they clashed.
“Mother!” a delicate little girl shouted anxiously from the shore.
“Ling’er, you must leave, it’s dangerous here!” The descendant of Nüwa called out without looking back, fully engaged in using her technique to restrain the ferocious Water Demon Beast in front of her.
There was another person. A man stood on a distant peak, observing the apocalyptic scene before him with a look of deep devotion.
“The world must be destroyed! Only by destroying the world can we create a new one filled with love! Water Demon Beast, go forth, unleash your power and shatter the heavens and the earth so we can rebuild this world!”
Seemingly responding to the man’s call, the Water Demon Beast became even more ferocious.
Three of its giant heads suddenly opened their mouths and shot out blasts of water vapor.
The descendant of Nüwa was struck by the water vapor and fell into the floodwaters, coughing up blood.
“Mother!” The little girl shouted loudly and then tried to rush forward with all her might.
But she was stopped by a middle-aged woman in strange attire: “Ling’er, don’t go over there. Your presence will only distract your mother, making it even more dangerous!”
“But grandma, what can I do? Tell me what I can do, I want to save Mother!” the little girl said anxiously.
The middle-aged woman sighed: “Alas, I don’t know what to do either.”
The little girl looked at her mother, who was in a life-and-death struggle in the distance, and then at her helpless grandmother and suddenly knelt down, praying sincerely to the heavens.
“Gods and divine beings above, please save my mother! If you save her, I will do anything you ask, even serve as a slave for my whole life! Please!”
At this moment, Lin Beifan had already made up his mind; the most valuable thing was the Water Demon Beast.
This beast was powerful and had the ability to regenerate when it encountered water, offering various uses.
More importantly, he was preparing to ascend to the realm of an Earthly Immortal and was about to engage in a great battle with the four holy beasts.
He could use this Water Demon Beast as a pawn to test their full strength and weaken them.
Having thought it through, Lin Beifan immediately deployed the Hand of Boundary Breaker.
A colossal glass-like hand spanning thousands of zhang broke through the spatial barrier and arrived in the world of ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’.
Then, swiftly, it moved towards the water demon beast in the flood.
“Everyone, look, what is that?”
“Such a huge hand! It seems it could easily shatter mountain ranges!”
“Whose hand is that?”
“Could it be that a deity has appeared to capture this malevolent creature?”
……
Thousands of li away at Mount Shu.
The leader of the Mount Shu sect suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking in the direction of the Miao territory: “Something’s changed!”
A streak of sword light rose under his feet, taking him away in an instant.
……
Standing on the mountain peak, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect looked at the sudden appearance of the giant hand, his gaze intensifying: Who could this sacred being be? No matter who it is, my plan will not fail!”
……
“It must be a heavenly god! It must be a heavenly god who heard my call and has come to save us!”
The little girl knelt on the ground, her voice devout and filled with joy: “O Divine One, please defeat the Water Demon Beast and save my mother!”
At this moment, the Hand of Boundary Breaker was less than a thousand zhang from the water demon beast.
As an ancient fierce beast, the water demon beast naturally had extremely keen senses.
It clearly felt that this giant hand posed a greater threat to it than the woman did.
If it were to be caught by the hand, the situation would be dire.
Thus, it roared loudly, wielding its water-manipulating powers to unleash a water tornado skyward…
“Mere child’s play, you’re bringing a knife to a gunfight! (TLN: thoroughly outclassed) Tathagata Palm!”
The giant hand, transformed into a hand radiating Buddha’s light, striking down fiercely.
“Boom!”
The water tornado was shattered, and water splashed in all directions.
The water demon beast couldn’t dodge and was harshly slammed into the ditch, one of its eight heads bursting apart.
Injured, the water demon beast became even more ferocious, stirring up terrifying waves.
The giant hand ignited with raging flames.
Normally, water quenches fire, and these flames should not have affected the water demon beast.
However, the burning giant hand was like a scorching sun hanging in the sky, incinerating the earth and boiling the sea.
The surging waves turned into steam and vanished.
Then, the giant hand struck down again, bursting another head of the Water Demon Beast.
The battle continued, and no matter what divine powers or technique the water demon beast used, it couldn’t overcome the giant hand.
And one by one, its heads were being burst apart.
This brutal scene stunned everyone.
The world-destroying Water Demon Beast was being toyed with by the giant hand?
Who was this deity? So powerful?
And so, everyone saw hope.
“This must be a deity sent from the heavens to save us!”
“Deity, please take this evil demon away, it has caused us so much suffering!”
“I bow to you! I offer incense to you…”
People fell to their knees one after another, worshipping with the utmost respect.
At this moment, the Water Demon Beast, reduced to only a head, was finally afraid.
Although it could regenerate and was immortal when in contact with water, being blasted apart still caused it pain.
It was not a masochist and it didn’t want to be hit anymore.
So, it thought of escaping.
Lin Beifan saw through its intentions. His hand broke through the constraints of space and instantly grabbed the water demon beast that was trying to flee, then slowly began to rise into the air.
The water demon beast struggled desperately to escape, but Lin Beifan’s hand ignited with terrifying flames.
These were not ordinary flames but rather strange flames.
The water demon beast let out a piercing scream as it was burned by the strange flames, and then it stopped resisting.
However, just as success was within reach, an urgent voice called out.
“Stop!”
