Chapter 1497 A Fierce Battle


    Thud!


    With a thunderous sound, the huge purple foot stepped down from the eastern sky. The animals and


    birds within several thousand miles fled for their lives. The primeval forest bent down as if it was


    suffering a terrible super-typhoon.


    Boom!


    All of a sudden, an incandescent ray of lightning shed in the north and struck the mountain where


    Austin and the old man were standing.


    The tremendous sound shook the whole mountain. Austin, Caroline and Tyler covered their ears


    quickly. The impact of the thunderous sound was so strong that the earth beneath heaved violently


    ck hued lightning shed wildly through the air, hitting the ground relentlessly.


    Swish!


    At the same time, there was a strong golden sh in the south. Like a golden dragon with immense


    power, a huge golden spear darted towards the peak where the old man stood.


    And in the west, with a loud screaming sound, a giant silver condor flew out from the billowing clouds.


    The huge bird looked like it had been cast in silver. It was so huge that its wings stretched across


    thousands of meters, covering the whole sky like a huge cloud. Its two silver ws, shining with cold


    luster, stretched out from the sky and tried to grab the old man as its talons clutched the peak of the


    mountain.


    Slowly the people hidden in the surrounding area beganunching their attacks. They were ying


    their aces, powerful and merciless.


    Austin, Caroline and Tyler panicked. They felt their lives were at stake. It was like being in a small boat


    that was floating on the rough sea. Not only their bodies, but their souls also were shaking, fearing that


    any moment they would be swallowed by the wave.


    The attacks hurled at them from the sky were so terrible that they lost their confidence and mindset to


    fight back. They were shell-shocked.


    "Hmm!"


    The old man snorted and stood up suddenly. He stamped hard on the ground, and a bright white glow


    radiated from beneath his feet. Like rippling water, the circles of bright white light spread in all


    directions.


    In a short moment, there were tens of thousands of white light columns that shot out from the ground to


    the sky within several miles.


    The circr pirs of light were like brilliant fireworks and they instantly filled up the whole sky as rose.


    Everything between heaven and earth became bright and illuminated by those pirs of light.


    These light columns went straight into the sky and seemed to connect the sky and the earth. They were


    magnificent and were apanied by a rumbling sound like mountain torrents striking the rocks.


    The huge purple foot that trampled down from the eastern sky was bombarded by those numerous light


    columns. Within seconds, it began to disintegrate. Soon, the purple giant copsed and its huge body


    burst into pieces.


    Meanwhile, in the northern sky, the lightning bolts were also bombarded by the white light pirs. A


    momentter, all the ck lightning bolts were annihted and they disappeared.


    In the western sky, the silver-white condor shrieked angrily, smashing the light columns with its


    powerful ws.


    Even the condor was bombarded by the light columns and finally copsed as well.


    At the same time, the golden spear was also in a fierce battle with the light columns in the southern


    sky. With the bursting golden light, energy was surging.


    A momentter, the golden spear suddenly changed its direction and shot back into the distant horizon.


    Apparently, it was defeated.


    Looking up at the fierce battle taking ce in the sky, Austin was totally astonished.


    He had never seen such a fierce battle, as if the whole world was participating in the war. He felt


    amazed while he kept watching the scene before his eyes.


    The old man was able to defend himself and repelled all the fatal attacks from the air with only one skill.


    ''What kind of a skill is this? It''s really awesome!'' Austin thought in amazement.


    His heart was filled with a strong sense of admiration for the old man.


    "Since it was you who took the lead, don''t me me for being rude and cruel!" shouted the old man.


    He took a breath before he called out, "The Sky-imprisoning Cage!"


    As soon as the old man shouted those words, the crust of the earth burst open and thick white columns


    of light rose once again. The light columns converged and intertwined in mid-air.


    And in an instant, everyone saw the white columns of light forming a huge cage with an area of several


    hundred square meters.


    The huge cage flew into the sky and disappeared from their view.


    Boom! Bang!


    The fight in the clouds turned more violent, making the whole sky shake and resonate with screams


    and sounds of shing.


    "It''ll be better if the three of you stay in this mountain. Don''t move!"


    The old man advised them before he flew up into the sky.


    "Aren''t you all coveting the holy weapon that belongs to our me Holy Land? Let you see it now."


    The old man''s voice seemed to echo in the sky as loud as thunder.


    A small and delicate nineyer red pagoda appeared in his hand when he stretched it out.


    Soon, an overwhelming mysterious aura emanated from the pagoda. It was strong and caused strange


    rippling movement in the air.


    At that moment, it looked as if time had stopped, and the heaven and earth were trembling. All the


    people present there could feel a tremor which shook not just their bodies but also the depths of their


    souls.


    A strong and mysterious aura swept over the mountain. Austin was too terrified and did not dare to


    move even an inch.


    He was afraid that his body would crack or burst off any moment under that strange aura which was


    filling up the air.


    In a sh, still holding the small pagoda in his hand, the old man rushed into the rolling clouds that had


    covered the sky and the sun.


    In the space behindyers of clouds, the war seemed to have got more intense and fiercer. With every


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    passing moment, it was bing horrifying.


    The sky was shaking violently with blood-curdling screams and cries of people being killed mercilessly.


    "No!" "Help!" "Aah!"


    With those screams echoing around, blood poured down like raindrops. Suddenly a corpse fell from the


    sky.


    Swish!


    Suddenly, from maybe thousands of miles away, came a brilliant ribbon in everyone''s view. No one


    could see its origin but itshed before their eyes.


    It got closer to the corpse that had fallen from the sky and rolled it up. Once it was secure in its grip, the


    ribbon disappeared in the distant sky.


    Soon another corpse fell from the sky. Before reaching the ground, it exploded into pieces.


    The flesh and bones were scattered in all directions. It was a bloody scene.


    One after another, corpses kept falling from the sky after every few minutes.


    And every time a corpse fell, the bright ribbon appeared immediately, rolled itself around the corpse


    and took it away.


    Apparently, someone in the distance didn''t want to leave the corpses there. Probably he was afraid that


    the old man would look at the corpses after the war and recognize their true identities. Someone was


    very keen on hiding the corpses.
