Chapter 91 – Runaway (1/2)

Chapter 91: Runaway

Just like a flower bud that opened its first crack, and showed a slight little part of the soft and tender petal...

Just like a cocoon suddenly cracking, and the delicate newly grown wings slowly thrust out from it...

Just like the shell of a golden cicada that had just spit up, and the patagium that came out of it along with a slight singing sound...

Just like the shooting stars that flew across the sky, and the lighting that tore apart the dark clouds; like the sun that had been blazing in the sky without any blockage, and the rivers rapidly flowing on the earth.

Countless illusions appeared in front of Ji Hao’s eyes; including the earth splitting up and the sky falling down; the sun rising and sinking over and over again; the gale which was soaring towards the sky and the clouds which were rolling like sea waves; the flowers bloomed then withered; the rain came and stopped, the snow fell down and melted. At the moment when his finger slightly drew across the air, it felt like every secret of this entire world had been shown in front of his eyes. Ji Hao clearly saw that a lot of spell symbols had been hidden inside the blood-red light, and formed a gigantic, complicated system, which seemed like a magic seal.

His finger drew across the air, just like a sharp sword cutting into the most fragile crack of the huge net that was formed by those spell symbols.

Just like how the flower bloomed, the cocoon cracked; just like the shell of the golden cicada which couldn’t hold the thin, transparent patagium anymore; just like stars and the sun which had been following their own special, natural patterns, that was existing since the beginning of the world, ceaselessly rotating. An irresistible power tore the blood-red light apart, shattered the steady magical seal that was formed by the spell symbol system inside the light, and left a huge crack on the blood light.

“If there is a number that could represent the whole world, and it is fifty, then forty-nine could be seen and used by us, while one would be hidden. In this vast world, there will always be a chance to break every single powerful treasure and formation. In other words, anything in this world, unless it had gone beyond the heaven and deeper than the underworld, has an exception to it. The [Sky opening] technique, is pointing directly at the ‘one’ that is hidden inside this vast world. Once we find out the rip, and hit it straight on, we can break any formation in this world,” said the mysterious man while drawing the arc in the air with a resonant voice, “Such a shame, such a pity, such a sadness, but so be it. If I have could understand this back in my time, like I do now, there was no way for me to end up like this. Little guy, what are you thinking about? Just run.”

Ji Hao felt an incomparable pain coming from his soul. The Yuan Dan in his spiritual space was even about to explode.

When he drew the arc along with the mysterious man’s move, all kinds of illusions started flashing in front of his eyes, and all of the profound mysteries of this world had been clearly shown in front of his eyes. These abstruse, occult mysteries of the world were not something that Ji Hao could understand at the moment. He was like a tiny bug that stayed in the mud, which could never understand how those gods, who had been standing high above the sky, managed and ran this world.

The tiny and weak soul of Ji Hao was like a mirror, copying all of the worldly mysteries. What had been contained in this copy was not as much as one of the trillions of the real worldly mysteries; however, it had already almost burst and vanished Ji Hao’s weak and fragile soul.

The mysterious man just lent a hand and broke the ‘blood-moon hazy ghost kill’ formation. Not that Ji Hao didn’t want to run at the moment, instead, his soul was about to explode, and couldn’t support his body anymore.

Ji Hao started vomiting blood; cracks started emerging on his soul; furthermore, a series of popping sounds came from inside his body.

After he had drawn that arc in the air, almost all of the muscles of Ji Hao’s right forearm had been blowing away by the counterforce, which bared more than a half of his arm bones, causing it to shine with a dim and crystal light. The counter force went to the rest of his body along with his bone arms; soon, countless small cracks appeared on his arms bones and started expanding towards inside his body, then the hand bone, shoulder bone, ribs, spine, leg bones...

Along with the sound of cracking bones, at least more than a half of Ji Hao’s bones had been broken by the counterforce.
