My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 299 - 201: Heretic!

"Aow——"

The sharp roar pierced through the air, slicing like a blade, and instantly reached the eardrums.

As the roar spread, the surrounding buildings and streets began to tremble violently.

Chen Lusi's body wavered slightly.

But the monk not far away was unaffected.

He clasped his hands together in prayer, chanted a mantra, and then turned to leave directly.

Obviously... the tremor was only felt by Chen Lusi.

If just moments ago, Chen Lusi felt out of place as a mere subjective sensation.

Now, it was clearly not just a simple subjective feeling... he was truly out of place.

At this moment, the entire Anomaly Realm had excluded him.

The impact of the roar was far more than just a tremor. The most prominent clusters of palaces, at the same moment as the roar sounded, suddenly stopped writhing, then ceased to maintain the semblance of structures, abruptly dismantling, transforming into a thick, inky black liquid that poured down like a celestial river.

Splash——

Faintly.

Chen Lusi could even hear the sound of the water cascading down.

Immediately afterward, at the same time.

A raindrop suddenly fell on Chen Lusi's head.

Then.

A second drop, a third drop...

Chen Lusi looked up at the suddenly cloud-covered sky, reaching out to catch a raindrop.

...The rain was black.

Like ink.

But its touch was undeniably that of water.

Chen Lusi: "..."

This scene was all too familiar to him.

The reason he became an Empowerer was because of encountering such a rain.

But why?

What followed seemed like a reenactment of the past.

The rain shifted from dropping sporadically to pouring down heavily.

It only took less than two minutes.

In an instant.

The world transformed into another visage.

The black, unsettling rain began to crazily descend from the sky onto the earth.

Countless black raindrops formed lines, with countless lines weaving a curtain of rain.

Instantly drenching Chen Lusi.

The tremor and roar... had ceased at some unknown point.

Chen Lusi watched the relentless descent of the black rain before him.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Illusion? Memory reading? Or... a common origin?

"Ooooo——"

But the entire Anomaly Realm didn't grant him much time to think; the familiar wail echoed once more.

Right before Chen Lusi's eyes, the rain suddenly halted... suspended in its spindle shape like when falling, paused midair.

All around him.

All the raindrops came to a standstill, even the splash of droplets hitting the ground held its shape motionless.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Then.

Splosh——

The loud noise of something breaking the water's surface sounded.

In the distance.

At the center of the palace clusters, a massive creature, caked in filth and resembling a fox, emerged as if surfacing from water.

It threw its head back to the sky, opening its jaws, letting out a deafening roar, as if proclaiming its awakening to the world.

With the roar's reverberation.

The black liquid clad on its body began to peel away, dripping along the direction of its fur.

As if washing away the filth on its body.

Soon.

Its fur appeared, pure and as white as snow.

This was a beast of utter snowy whiteness.

No matter from which angle, it matched the term 'sacred'— a stunningly beautiful 'beast'.

Purity comes out from filth, clarity born from obscurity.

It washed away the impurities, ushering its fate.

Chen Lusi didn't know why, but looking at the colossal creature in the distance, suddenly recalled this phrase.

Is this the 'vision' the monk spoke of...?

Just as he entertained this notion.

The white beast, which had craned its head to howl, gradually closed its jaws, then slowly turned its head to gaze in the direction where Chen Lusi stood.

In this instant.

The suspended rain.

Resumed its descent.

Chen Lusi and the beast exchanged glances through the dense rain curtain.

Its eyes were as bright as sapphires, and its fur snowy white, seeming to emit a gentle glow, clearly visible even though enveloped by the thick rain curtain.

So clean...

Chen Lusi suddenly had such a thought.

And he didn't notice, although the rain was black and he was thoroughly drenched, his body... was not tainted by any filth.

He couldn't even find the time to notice.

Because Chen Lusi realized that through the rain curtain, those sapphire-like bright eyes stared at him. After a brief moment of surprise, they swiftly ascended in fury.

Immediately.

It opened its jaws once more, suddenly uttering in human speech.

"Heretic!"

As soon as the words fell.

The gale erupted!

Thunderous sound waves, as if chanted by ten thousand people, accompanied the wind, crashing towards him.

Instantly, the rain curtain was shredded into fragments.

Chen Lusi paused for a moment and then tilted his head.

But the teeming raindrops continued to batter his face.

Then.

The ground trembled once more.

In the distance, the massive white beast with an estimated height of at least thirty meters swung its tail, suddenly bulldozing towards him, its beastly face contorted with a desire, seemingly wishing to devour him alive.

"..."

Witnessing this, Chen Lusi hesitated not a moment. Determining he couldn't contend with such a colossal beast, he promptly turned, activated First Line.

Swish——

The sound of a cutting wind resounded.

The water pooled on the road surged sideways along a line.

Chen Lusi's figure vanished.

And in the instant Chen Lusi disappeared.

The white beast suddenly leaped, descending from the heavens.

Boom——

The ground shook violently.

"Usurper of the realm!!!"

The pure white beast seemed aware of what had transpired, paying no heed to its feet. Instead, it swung its head, directly eyeing the direction where Chen Lusi had fled using First Line, and once again opened its jaws, speaking in human tongue.
