Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1618: Chapter 1618: Waiting a Thousand Years, Finally Waiting for You

Star Illusion Thousand Machine said no more, instead, both palms traced a semicircle before his chest, swiftly forming hand gestures.

Following his arm movements, runes of light emerged, drifting in all directions, enveloping the entire Luoshen Abyss in a mystical glow, with an overwhelming and boundless aura.

Although Star Illusion Thousand Machine didn’t explain the origin of the Sealing God Seal, Han Yan could guess from its name that it was related to the Sealing God Array he had mentioned before.

Under the glow of the Sealing God Seal, the beast shadows became ethereal.

Han Yan and the other two desperately activated their cultivation techniques, preparing to break through the seal above them.

”I didn’t expect to see the Sealing God Seal again after a million years, but do you think that with only you and a Sealing God Seal, you can contend with me?” At this moment, a sinister and hoarse voice rang out.

A tall and slender man appeared before them out of thin air. At a closer look, he wasn’t particularly tall, similar in height to Fen Qianji, but his thinness made him appear taller.

He wore a tattered battle armor, his exposed skin clinging to his bones, like a dried corpse crawling out of a grave.

Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s judgment was indeed correct; more than one of the former enemies survived, and one was hiding in this Luoshen Abyss.

”Chou Dangya, it’s you, you’re not dead!” Star Illusion Thousand Machine exclaimed in shock after scrutinizing him for a moment.

The enemies who pursued from the Divine Martial World ranged in strength, and Chou Dangya was one of the two strongest, so he had some impression of him.

”I remember you, called Star Illusion Thousand Machine, who set up that God Slaying Array. I didn’t expect you to survive until now!” Chou Dangya said, glancing at Xing Huan Qian Gang, speaking with a dry voice.

”You are the one we’ve been searching for, waiting for a thousand years, and finally, I have found you.” After speaking, he paid no further attention to Star Illusion Thousand Machine and slowly raised the longsword in his hand toward Han Yan.

The sword’s style was ancient, with jagged scars adorning it, yet it bore no trace of rust, indicating it was once a divine artifact.

A fierce killing aura shot out from the sword, almost solidifying, causing a sharp pain in Han Yan’s mind, nearly shattering her proud, powerful divine sense.

Such terrifying killing intent, such formidable strength! Han Yan realized just how powerful these cultivators from the Divine Martial World were. Even after being seriously injured and hiding in the Luoshen Abyss for millions of years, Chou Dangya remained that powerful. What terrifying strength must he have had before his injury?

”Run!” Star Illusion Thousand Machine shouted, clapping his hands together, and a massive seal enveloped Chou Dangya.

”You think it’s that easy to escape? I hid for so many years, waiting for her appearance. I planned to restore some strength and then break out of Luoshen Abyss, but she came right to me. Today, I will make her divine soul silent annihilation, never to be reborn!” Chou Dangya said coldly, slashing fiercely.

There were no sword lights soaring to the sky, nor was there any earth-shattering force, but Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s seal, supposedly imbued with forbidden divine power, shattered, turning into scattered light and disappearing into the wind.

Star Illusion Thousand Machine staggered back a few steps, his already ethereal form becoming even more insubstantial.

Chou Dangya also swayed slightly, taking a step back.

”Run!” Star Illusion Thousand Machine didn’t pause, forming another handprint while shouting at Han Yan.

Though Chou Dangya had the upper hand, the Sealing God Seal still posed a threat to him. Distracted by dealing with the Sealing God Seal, he couldn’t fully control the seal of Luoshen Abyss, and this was Han Yan’s only chance to escape.

”Senior Xingji, take care!” Han Yan was no procrastinator, knowing that escaping as quickly as possible was the wisest choice. Further delay would not only doom them but also harm Star Illusion Thousand Machine.

Star Illusion Thousand Machine was linked to the divine intent of the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate in her heart. If she escaped Luoshen Abyss quickly, he still had a great chance to return to the star plate; however, if he exhausted his divine thought power, there would truly be no salvation.

”Run!” Han Yan urged, soaring towards the sealing restriction of Luoshen Abyss.

Fen Qianji and Jiang Qiling moved simultaneously; even if Chou Dangya couldn’t split his focus, Han Yan alone couldn’t break through Luoshen Abyss’s seal.

”Hmph, if you escape so easily, I, Chou Dangya, would have no face to live!” Chou Dangya said with an unchanged expression, coldly snorting as the three flew away.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, with monstrous waves, fiery magma, and falling rocks appearing simultaneously in mid-air, as if to destroy the entire world. Amidst the torrents of water, fire surges, and giant stones, majestic and imposing beast shadows charged, hostility surging, their gaping mouths and swinging claws threatening to tear all living beings before them into shreds.

Han Yan and her companions turned pale; even Fen Qianji, who had been trapped in Luoshen Abyss for months, had never seen such a scene.

Previously, just one sword power required their full strength and cost them heavy injuries, but now, with multiple sword powers appearing, how could they possibly withstand it?

”Jiang Qiling, retreat quickly!” Han Yan shouted at Jiang Qiling.

In this perilous situation, Fen Qianji might barely manage to resist, but Han Yan herself had little confidence in doing so. Still, she couldn’t stand by and watch Fen Qianji take the risk alone.

But Jiang Qiling was different; with her strength, she couldn’t withstand such power, and would surely meet her end.

”Having one more person means more strength and more hope.” Jiang Qiling shook her head resolutely.

”Qi Ling!” Han Yan was momentarily stunned.

She knew Jiang Qiling was right; in a life and death scenario, a slight margin could determine life or death. Having one more person and therefore more strength indeed offered more hope. Yet that hope was only for her and Fen Qianji; with Jiang Qiling’s strength, certain death awaited!

”If you survive and leave Luoshen Abyss, find my father, please, if you consider me a friend.” Jiang Qiling said, hurriedly handing a scroll to Han Yan before turning her head away.

From her profile, Jiang Qiling’s expression was resolute and devoid of regret.

Han Yan immediately understood; given their current situation, their chance of escaping Luoshen Abyss alive was very slim. That’s why Jiang Qiling sought to use every ounce of strength, sacrificing her life if necessary, to help break the seal. Perhaps she did this to find her father, or perhaps she guessed that people like Jiang Yunhe were trapped, doing everything to save them.

But wasn’t this also about trust—trust between friends.
