Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 321 - 255: Whirlwind (38)

Chapter 321: Chapter 255: Whirlwind (38)

An unbelievably dense, dark current of air continuously surged into the sky, covering the entire city like rolling thunderclouds—or as if black flames had set the entire sky ablaze, burning fiercely.

In that pitch-dark sky, it seemed as though countless grotesque, distorted faces struggled and screamed.

With these intense evil energies rolling and gathering in the sky, even ordinary humans could gradually see them with the naked eye.

Citizens of New Ke City gazed in bewilderment out of streetside windows and from balconies at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Although they had no idea what was happening, the terrifying vision in the sky was clearly not a good sign.

Panic began to spread throughout the city, some choosing to hide in their homes, others to flee the city...

At an intersection, two cars racing out of the city collided with a bang.

One of the drivers ran out of his car, cursing furiously at the other.

But the next moment, he stared in astonishment as the other driver’s body, accompanied by a piercing scream, suddenly expanded.

Numerous pale, deformed limbs burst forth from within, forcibly tearing the car apart.

The driver turned and ran in terror at the sight of the monster before him.

But shortly after, screams began to echo through the streets.

Meanwhile, fear-filled shouts and screams resonated through the streets and buildings in every corner of the city.

...

As the whole of New Ke City gradually underwent abnormal transformations,

In front of a blazing hotel,

Numerous soldiers, journalists, and local citizens watched the girl in black in midair.

At this moment, the girl in black stood with rolling dark clouds above her head and fire surging behind her, conjuring a sky full of evil energy with a single command.

In the eyes of everyone, the girl in black at that instant was like a demon god,

And as the girl in black slowly brought her hands together, the dark clouds in the sky gradually began to swirl.

Endless evil energy converged, gradually forming into a vast black void.

Although unsure of the girl’s purpose, everyone who witnessed this scene had a bad feeling welling up inside.

And soon, humans on the surrounding streets of the hotel began to mutate as well.

Some’s heads swelled and pressed against their bodies until they became blurred with flesh and blood.

On others, faces began to grow all over their bodies, and as these faces screamed and struggled, the people’s bodies commenced to split apart.

Still others grew eyes all over their mucous membranes, and from these eyes mouths burgeoned, which in turn sprouted heads...

Witnessing these terrifying mutations, soldiers around panicked and pointed their guns at their comrades who had turned into monsters.

The continuous rattle of gunfire sounded, and the entire military force immediately collapsed by more than half.

The ground vehicles and the armed helicopters in the sky also lost control due to some of their operators mutating.

As one of the armed helicopters plummeted to the ground, it instantly turned into a massive fireball that completely engulfed the surrounding monsters and soldiers.

But the remaining soldiers, still following their commander’s orders, pointed their guns at the girl in black in midair.

The still-controlled tanks and the armed helicopters flying in the sky also commenced their assault on the girl in black.

"Fire!"

"Take out the target immediately!"

"Whatever she’s doing, we must stop her!"

A barrage of bullets, each trailing a streak of light, instantly covered the location of the girl in black.

But just as the bullets were about to hit the girl in black, a swirl of dark energy suddenly surfaced, swallowing all the bullets at once.

The tanks’ armor-piercing incendiary rounds, a single burst of which could explode a small car, were also consumed by the black energy that appeared out of nowhere just before hitting the girl in black.

The machine guns and rockets of the armed helicopters were likewise swallowed one by one.

Facing the assault by the White Eagle Country’s military, the girl in black stood unfazed and unharmed.

As rounds were fired and magazines emptied, numerous soldiers looked up helplessly at the sky, at a loss for how to continue the fight.

But the next moment, with a gentle finger from the girl in black, a vortex of black sword light already appeared surrounding her.

"All beings of this world shall be mercilessly slaughtered."

The sword light, like black lightning, streaked through the soldiers and tanks.

Soldiers swept by the sword light screamed one after another and quickly became monstrous new forms, their flesh twisted.

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader, also on the battlefield, watched as the girl began to mercilessly slaughter the White Eagle Country’s military, and he retreated in solemn steps, his gaze grave.

"This woman has become even more terrifying."

He watched the evil energy continually gathering in the sky and thought to himself, "These things are strengthening her power."

At that moment, with the whooshing sound from the sky, several missiles streaked through the sky and aimed at the girl in black’s position.

As the missiles exploded in the air, the girl in black was instantly engulfed by the fire.

...

Inside the command center.

Countless military personnel bustled about anxiously.

On the big screen were displayed various data and live combat footage.

"Conventional firearms are ineffective."

"Armor-piercing rounds, incendiary rounds, rockets... all have no effect."

"The forces on the ground cannot harm the target."

"This is simply a massacre."

"It’s not a matter of military force from the same dimension; the disparity in military strength is too vast. In front of her, our soldiers are no different from primitives."

"The missile hit!"

But when the flames and smoke cleared and the girl in black once again appeared unscathed before everyone, all the soldiers present fell silent, staring blankly at the screen at the figure who seemed invincible.

At this moment, the Great Bright Buddha stood in front of the large screen, but it seemed as if no one around could see his existence.

"This woman can not only control evil spirits but also use them to enhance her combat strength and instantly transform people into demonic beings."

"What exactly has the Evil Sect deployed in this city?"

The Great Bright Buddha thought to himself, "Given her demonstrated capabilities, the conventional military forces of White Eagle Country might not be able to handle her."

"Right now in New Ke City, the only one who could overpower her should be Xingxiao."

"But will Xingxiao make a move?"

"To watch New Ke City be engulfed by evil spirits, to watch countless civilians turn into demonic beings, to see White Eagle Country embarrassingly defeated under the global spotlight... Perhaps in the eyes of Xingxiao and some sect masters, this is not necessarily a bad thing..."

...

The girl in black glanced at the missile firing toward the sky once more.

This time, she did not let the missile approach but slightly pressed down with her delicate palm.

The rolling evil spirits in the sky thrashed about, and several gigantic tentacles lashed out from within.

Tearing through the air and generating thunderous sounds, the missiles were caught mid-flight and exploded into massive fireworks in the sky.

Witnessing this scene, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader raised an eyebrow, his figure, accompanied by a red dragon shadow, retreating even further.

"With such grand gestures, it seems that the woman, or rather the force behind her, must have been preparing in this city for quite some time."

"What on earth are Xingxiao and the Great Bright Buddha doing to let someone set up such a huge trap here?"

"Now, apart from me, no one else has made a move. Are they all just watching?"

At the moment the Divine Dragon Gang Leader was rapidly contemplating, he was shocked to see the immeasurable evil spirits in the sky converge into a vortex, which descended like a giant tornado, pouring into the girl in black’s back.

Her body jerked violently, a pained expression appearing on her face.

And at that moment, it seemed as if the rolling black clouds in the sky were connected to the girl in black.

As the evil spirits violently oscillated, the girl’s voice resounded over the entire city.

"Mortals,"

"Feel for yourselves the malice from another world."

Watching this scene from afar, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader quickened his movements, utterly abandoning any thought of intervening.

"The risk of engaging with this woman is too high."

"This city is finished."

Meanwhile, the disaster that New Ke City was facing spread rapidly online.

More and more people witnessed the black-clad girl slaughtering the army and manipulating evil spirits through various videos and live broadcasts.

The incident’s popularity surged dramatically and quickly became the hottest news worldwide.

...

Simultaneously, in the cultivation chamber located in Jiangyang Province of Mirror World within Xia Country.

Lin Xing, still oblivious to the events happening in the real world, was focusing all his effort on attaining the third legacy of an Independent Immortal.

This time Lin Xing’s breakthrough was different from his past breakthroughs. Instead of concentrating his thoughts in the sea of consciousness, he was sensing his whole body, observing every part of his physical form.

Following the resurrection memory and the methods of the Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique, he knew that Little Lin Xing was right; indeed, the third legacy was a step from human to beyond human, a complete transformation of one’s life form.

The tapestry that Lin Xing had draped over himself was slowly blending into his body, eventually becoming part of his flesh.

He felt an indescribable substance appearing within his own flesh and blood.

The Six Secret Runes and the streaks of sword light contained within the tapestry began to surge through his body.

Simultaneously, copious cultivation memories began to revive within his mind.

Lin Xing’s hands pinched the Taoist Formula, quickly making twisting and bizarre symbols that surpass the limits of mortal hands.

And with the changing hand signs, countless indistinct, unrepeatable, and incomprehensible talismanic chants naturally spilled from his mouth.

As the tapestry merged into his flesh, the topmost layer of Lin Xing’s sea of consciousness seemed suddenly empty.

Only the scythe technique, Taiqing Long Fist, and talismans, these three skill manifestations, remained as faint lights floating around the edge of his sea of consciousness.

However, as the hand forms and chants progressed, within this void in the center of his sea of consciousness and in a state of utmost stillness, an indescribable aura suddenly emerged from nothingness.

"Is this the aura of an immortal?"

With this trace of immortal energy, Lin Xing’s consciousness seemed to traverse endless time and space, perceiving a place he had never seen before.

It was a Divine Mountain, far taller than any mountain range Lin Xing had seen in his life combined.

And at the highest peak of this Divine Mountain was the origin of that trace of immortal energy.

Lin Xing could feel that the sliver of immortal energy he just obtained originated from there.

Just as Lin Xing’s consciousness was crossing mountains and soaring towards the source of the immortal energy.

A contemptuous snort resounded from the mountain summit.

Lin Xing’s consciousness shattered instantly, forcefully interrupted from that connection.

But his memory still retained a vague image of what he saw at the mountain summit.

It seemed like Fairy Yunxiao and Gu She Fairy of the Spirit Treasure Sect were cultivating there.

Outside the cultivation chamber, Yiyi watched Lin Xing stand up, a thought stirring in her heart, "Will I now possess the power of the third legacy?"

She hurriedly asked through the microphone, "Lin Xing, did you make it?"

"Uh-huh." Lin Xing nodded slightly, still sorting through the memories that kept reviving in his mind after his breakthrough to the third legacy.
