Chapter 35: Brutal
The Ancestral God held the "Scepter of Life," its surrounding aura nearly boiling. Feeling its old friend's activity, it looked upward.
Eye of Death · Babaya.
Scepter of Life · Midi.
World-Destroying Warship · Lukula.
These were the three loyal subordinates of the Ancestral God. In truth, calling them subordinates was more like family, but the siege of yesteryear had left the Eye of Death · Babaya's consciousness nearly dissipated, the World-Destroying Warship · Lukula shattered, with only the Scepter of Life · Midi remaining.
Using the World Core of this Transcendent Realm to serve as the core for the "Eye of Death" had a decent chance of reviving Babaya. Using up the Primordial Life Force of all living beings in this realm to nourish the remaining remnants of the "World-Destroying Warship" might not resurrect Lukula, but it could nurture a consciousness—that would be Lukula's child, at least for mechanical lifeforms.
However, for now, the Ancestral God had to clear the immediate obstacle first.
"Midi."
"Lord, I am here."
A cold mechanical voice emanated from within the Scepter of Life.
"Accompany this failure in one more bout of madness."
The blue glow within the Ancestral God · Yashmies' radial pupils intensified.
"Your command is my will, Lord Yashmies."
"..."
The Ancestral God · Yashmies held its left hand aloft, the Eye of Death, now shrunk back to fist-sized, floating above its right hand.
At this moment, across from it.
Su Xiao held his long blade angled toward the ground, Baha perched on his shoulder, Amu standing behind him, and Bubu Wang, equipped with a mechanical arm and light armor, crouched at his side.
"Woof!"
Bubu Wang barked loudly, activating pulse interference.
"Moo!"
Amu leaped out fiercely, crashing onto the uneven black iron ground, charging forward in large strides.
The Eye of Death floated over, its flesh proliferating into a combat state, golden rays continuously spraying downward.
Zzzap!
The ray struck Amu's right arm. Amu blocked with one hand in front of his face. Despite Amu's defenses, facing an attack with Devouring Annihilation properties, he couldn't hold out. His palm was shattered by the devouring. As the devouring ray struck Amu's chest, he had already leaped toward the Eye of Death above.
The Ancestral God raised its left hand, but in the next instant, a long blade appeared before it.
'Extreme Realm · Star Boundary!'
With Su Xiao at the center, everything around him froze. The long blade fiercely slashed through the Ancestral God's neck, sending its head flying. That wasn't all—he followed up with a straight kick.
Boom!
Terrifying force erupted behind the Ancestral God, but it stood unmoving, even though its chest and abdomen were covered in cracks.
Clang, clang, clang...
A rapid, dense series of slashes merged into one continuous sound, divine blood splattering from the Ancestral God's entire body.
'Extreme Blade · Star Piercer.'
With a crack, the long blade pierced into the blue core at the center of the Ancestral God's chest. However, this core had powerful defensive measures; the mechanical inscriptions on it bore the piercing instead, causing the core to enter a semi-concealed state where it couldn't be attacked.
The moment the domain covered by 'Extreme Realm · Star Boundary' vanished, the Ancestral God's severed head regained its divine light in its eyes, its radial pupils contracting sharply.
"Supreme?"
The Ancestral God's flying head looked toward the Law Destroyer standing before its body.
Numerous dark red metallic threads shot out from the Ancestral God's severed neck. Su Xiao leaped backward almost simultaneously. The space these dark red metallic threads touched began to crackle and split. The metal spine extended, connecting to the severed neck of the head, then retracted.
Crack, crack~
The Ancestral God flexed its neck. Though unharmed, the flowing metal on its cheek twitched almost imperceptibly. In the ensuing battle, it would not allow this Law Destroyer to get close again.
As Su Xiao landed from his backward leap, he sensed attacks arcing toward him from all directions. These attacks were incredibly fast and, in his perception, locked onto him relentlessly.
Hundreds of death missiles came at him. Su Xiao lowered his stance slightly. Just as one missile was mere inches from his head—
'Extreme Blade · World.'
Clang!
A sharp, metallic resonance of a slash rang out. All death missiles that entered the 'Extreme Blade Domain' were cut apart. Moreover, the severed ends showed signs of crystal assimilation, preventing these missiles, which should have exploded upon destruction, from detonating.
In the initial exchange between Su Xiao and the Ancestral God, Su Xiao was at a slight disadvantage, having opened with a 2-second 'Extreme Realm · Star Boundary.' But it was worth it. Nearby, Bubu Wang's interference combined with Baha's pounce caused considerable trouble for the Eye of Death.
Even more terrifying, Amu had leaped beneath it, using his newly regenerated right hand to stab into the flesh-and-blood eye, pulling out the metal core inside.
The Ancestral God naturally noticed this but paid it no mind. The Eye of Death's close-combat capability wasn't weak...
The battle suddenly halted. The reason was that, one second earlier, Amu, holding the Eye of Death with one hand, didn't try to smash it with his other hand's Dark War Axe. Instead, this simpleton opened his mouth as wide as possible and stuffed the Eye of Death directly into it.
The Eye of Death was originally a living weapon. Though its consciousness was now half-extinct, it still had some instincts. Being shoved into Amu's mouth, a great terror from the 'Original Sin of Gluttony' caused it to rapidly proliferate flesh, trying to return to a state capable of spraying devouring rays and increase its size to avoid being truly swallowed.
Gulp~
Amu tilted his head back, swallowed hard, and a distinct ring-shaped bulge traveled down his throat. He had actually, truly swallowed the Eye of Death.
Amu landed, then promptly collapsed and lay still, twitching once.
The battle stopped for only 2 seconds before plunging back into a white-hot intensity.
With a boom, the black iron ground beneath Su Xiao's feet caved in. The moment he used Dragon Shadow Flash to advance, death missiles rained down on his previous location, the explosion's shockwave spreading.
Wind whistled past his ears. It had been a long time since Su Xiao had charged at an enemy like this. A horizontal slash cut an incoming death missile in two, which flew past him on either side. He vanished again, using Dragon Shadow Flash to break through the space around him, now infested with flesh tissue, and appeared before the Ancestral God.
Gravity slammed into him. Su Xiao's ears rang. When he regained awareness, he was in a pile of rubble, a golden spear piercing his chest, his abdomen blown open, revealing his internal organs.
Rising from the debris, he looked around at the black iron metal structures. It seemed like the edge of the royal city.
Grabbing the golden spear, he pulled it from his heart. Spirit Shadow Threads immediately stitched the wound. His left hand pressed against his abdomen, and Aoge crystals spread, forming a structure similar to a 'Combat Prosthetic.' However, compared to the prosthetic, these crystal structures were several times weaker, but they had flexibility, temporarily replacing the flesh blown away from his abdomen.
Boom!
Gravity descended from above, causing the black iron ground around Su Xiao to sink. A whoosh of wind, followed by a heavy impact, signaled the Ancestral God's arrival from the sky. It slammed its scepter into the ground, and the black iron earth surged into a metallic wave, sending dozens of metal spikes over ten meters long spreading outward.
'Extreme Blade · Heavy Moon.'
The slashing might descended, but the Ancestral God raised one hand, using gravity to blast the incoming 'Extreme Blade · Heavy Moon' apart.
'Extreme Blade · Azure Demon.'
Clang!
A few drops of dark blue divine blood splattered from the Ancestral God's chest. In that instant, the Ancestral God instinctively thought this move was a slash that ignored distance once executed. However, the faint black traces left in the space along the path proved the slash had a trajectory—it was just too fast, beyond the capture of perception fields. Fortunately, while the move was powerful, it wasn't overwhelmingly terrifying.
With a whoosh, Su Xiao shattered layers of spatial barriers, using pure physical strength to close in on the Ancestral God.
'Extreme Blade · White Night.'
The long blade erupted with golden light. The terrifying slashing might drained some color from the surrounding world.
Boom!
Su Xiao abruptly stopped in place, then slowly faded. In reality, he had already been blasted out of sight by the Gravity Lord's 'Absolute Repulsion.'
Crack, crack, crack~
Fine cracks appeared on the Ancestral God's left hand. Repelling Su Xiao, who was using 'Extreme Blade · White Night,' came at a cost. Moreover, this 'Absolute Repulsion' could only be used once every 3 seconds.
The space ahead rapidly split open. A teleportation array appeared on the ground. With a booming thunderous roar, the teleportation completed, and Su Xiao materialized. The shockwave from the teleportation made the Ancestral God's flowing metal cheek tremble.
Pfft!
The long blade sank into the Ancestral God's shoulder. Though appearing to be a mid-to-long-range combatant, the Ancestral God fiercely grabbed Su Xiao's shoulder. Hundreds of death missiles arced in, engulfing both Su Xiao and the Ancestral God in an explosion.
When the blast subsided, the Ancestral God held only a head in its hand. It steadied its breath, glanced at the head, then its pupils contracted. In its hand was a head with graying hair and a kindly, benevolent smile.
Shenfu.
'Lost, lamb.'
A hundred meters away, Shenfu uttered these words, aging several years in the process. Using such a move on a divine entity this powerful was only possible for Shenfu; anyone else would have died first.
The Ancestral God's left hand pointed at Shenfu.
Bang!!
The Gravity Lord's 'Absolute Repulsion' turned Shenfu into a mist of blood instantly. This comparison showed just how tough a Technique Grandmaster's physique was.
A sharp blade began to silently sink into the back of the Ancestral God's neck.
'Heavenly Punishment!'
A pillar of darkness descended from the sky, forcing Xiao to one knee.
The Ancestral God turned to look at Xiao, saying, "Back then, your master didn't dare to assassinate me. As her disciple, you surpass her."
Though it was praise, the Ancestral God's large hand had already grasped Xiao's head.
Bang!
Xiao turned into a blur, flying beyond the visible range.
Neither Shenfu nor Xiao lasted a single exchange with the Ancestral God. In truth, they were somewhat set up by Su Xiao. It was indeed Su Xiao who had fought the Ancestral God so fiercely, trading blows head-on for several rounds.
The leader of the gods, Harota, who had been observing from the shadows, quietly abandoned any thoughts of a pincer attack and continued waiting for an opportunity. Having only recently recovered, it was weaker than even a veteran Supreme. It had to wait; its role was not to fight.
Boom!
The black iron ground split apart as Su Xiao landed. The moment he touched down, he vanished, instantly putting the Ancestral God on alert. It slammed its scepter into the ground again, causing the black iron earth to surge, constantly on guard against Su Xiao's sudden appearance.
A faint whoosh, and Su Xiao appeared behind the Ancestral God.
'Extreme Blade · Star Piercer.'
With a crack, Dragon-Slaying Flash pierced through the Ancestral God's chest and core from behind. Unfortunately, the Ancestral God's core didn't seem to be a weak point.
Almost simultaneously.
Pfft!
Several intersecting slash marks appeared on Su Xiao's back. The Ancestral God had used the Scepter of Life to animate the surrounding black iron ground, causing it to sprout fleshy tentacles tipped with bizarre blades.
'Heaven's Wrath · Thunderbolt Fall.'
The oppressive black clouds above were scattered by a lightning pillar over a hundred kilometers thick. The Ancestral God raised one hand, an immense black gravity meeting the descending lightning pillar.
Crack!
In an instant, the earth trembled, and the sky seemed ready to shatter. The Ancestral God fired death missiles at the approaching Su Xiao while keeping one hand raised. Using the Gravity Lord, it actually began pushing the lightning pillar back upward.
Suddenly, the descending lightning pillar vanished. Amidst the flames of the missile explosion that had engulfed Su Xiao, a flash of lightning arced through—it was Su Xiao using 'Heaven's Wrath · Thunderbolt Slash' to channel the lightning onto his blade, then striking with 'Heaven's Wrath · Torrent Flash.'
Clang!
The long blade met the scepter. The Ancestral God was also skilled in close combat.
The lightning surged and exploded. Su Xiao and the Ancestral God both took a large step back, their bodies numbed by the golden arcs of electricity.
Pfft!
A short blade stabbed into the back of the Ancestral God's head. It was Xiao, her feathered robe stained with blood. This backstab caused the Ancestral God's health to plummet by a third!
With a boom, Xiao was blasted away and vanished again.
Clang!
Blade and scepter clashed. The next second, death missiles rained toward Su Xiao, engulfing him in explosions.
The Demon Spirit was scattered by the blast. The explosive power of the death missiles was indeed terrifying. Earlier, one had hit Su Xiao's abdomen, nearly cutting him in half. He had barely managed to use special Aoge crystals to temporarily replace his body and continue fighting.
'Instant Return.'
Swapping positions with the Demon Spirit again, Su Xiao's long blade hummed, erupting with golden light.
'Extreme Blade · White Night.'
'Annihilation.'
The long blade met the annihilation ray fired from the Ancestral God's chest. After a brief silence—
Rumble~
The black iron ground shook. Layer after layer of earth peeled away from the center where Su Xiao and the Ancestral God stood.
Amidst the continuous shockwaves, the deadly struggle between Su Xiao and the Ancestral God did not cease.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
The long blade and the scepter, which had transformed into an armored war sword, clashed repeatedly. After just five seconds of ultra-high-speed exchanges numbering over a thousand, the Ancestral God could no longer hold out and took a large step back.
Pfft!
The Ancestral God's arm, holding the armored war sword, was severed. Su Xiao was about to press the attack when a death missile hidden in a spatial gap exploded in front of him.
With a boom, Su Xiao was blasted back, trailing blood.
From a distance, Xiao, who had witnessed the entire scene, twitched at the corners of her eyes. Her only thought was that these two were both monsters.
Within the surging lightning domain, death missiles nearly swallowed the area. Slash marks continued to multiply. Eventually, the overwhelming force dispersed the lightning zone.
Su Xiao crashed heavily to the ground, creating a black iron crater. Without even half a second to catch his breath, he leaped up.
Midair, over a dozen Spirit Shadow Threads extending from his left middle finger connected to his heart, lungs, and other vital organs. His chest was torn open, all ribs on the left side snapped at the root. If not for the Spirit Shadow Threads, this rapid backward leap would have flung his vital organs out of his body, to be consumed by the incoming explosions.
Crack, crack, crack~
Special crystals spread, filling the gaps in Su Xiao's damaged torso. Over a third of his body was now composed of special Aoge crystals. Through the translucent blue crystals on his left side, one could see his beating heart, stitched in several places by Spirit Shadow Threads.
Across from him, the Ancestral God, over five meters tall and weighing 9,498 tons, was covered in slash marks. Such weight and size indicated its terrifying density, especially considering it had abandoned its bulky defensive structures for a 40% increase in speed.
Dark blue blood dripped down the Ancestral God's left arm as it raised its hand toward Su Xiao.
Bang!!
Earth-shaking gravity surged toward Su Xiao.
'Perfect Block.'
Clang!
A slash imbued with the Perfect Block property was unleashed. Blood sprayed from all of Su Xiao's wounds. The crystal shell formed by 'Feather Shell' flew out from behind him, blasted beyond sight. 'Absolute Repulsion' was irresistible, but it could be endured in other ways.
Su Xiao vanished instantly, reappearing before the Ancestral God.
'Existence Annihilation.'
Centered on the Ancestral God, an unparalleled continuous shockwave spread outward layer by layer. Su Xiao, who had charged in, suddenly froze. His 'Blade Hearts' shattered one after another. This meant the Ancestral God's 'Existence Property' ability had a terrifying continuous instant-death effect. In just 1.5 seconds, only one of Su Xiao's 'Blade Hearts' remained.
'Shepherd · Lamb.'
Shenfu, appearing a hundred meters away, let out a sigh, as if the entire world had vanished, leaving only this sound.
The continuous shockwave centered on the Ancestral God was like a high-speed gear suddenly encountering an unknown part—it jammed with a clack.
Pfft!
Blood-stained gray feathers scattered. A slash across the throat sent Xiao flying backward, one hand clutching her neck. If not for her quick reflexes and the Blade Grandmaster's excellent control, this slash should have taken her head.
The Ancestral God and Xiao hadn't simply swapped positions; their existences had been temporarily exchanged.
Xiao suddenly raised her hand, her pupils contracting sharply.
"Dodge!"
The Gravity Lord spread from her palm, blasting Su Xiao, who was penetrating space with Dragon Shadow Flash.
After swapping its 'existence' with Xiao's, the Ancestral God could use its abilities through her.
'Sacrifice · Bloom!'
Cracking sounds came from Xiao's ribs. A slightly wrinkled but gentle hand pressed onto her shoulder. The 'Ancestral God's existence' parasitic on Xiao was forcibly expelled. As the price, Shenfu exploded with a bang into shattered black ancient god tentacles.
Boom!
The long blade, slashing toward Xiao's waist, stopped abruptly. The wind pressure from its slashing might made Xiao's feathered robe rustle, and her hood was thrown back, its face-concealing ability failing. It revealed Xiao's slightly chubby-cheeked, stunningly beautiful face. The image of a cold, aloof female assassin instantly crumbled. But sometimes, that's how it was—a person's appearance had nothing to do with their aura or others' imaginations.
Xiao gritted her teeth so hard they creaked. This Law Destroyer was truly ruthless. But if it were her, she would have done the same. Xiao concealed herself, waiting for the next opportunity.
Across from her, the Ancestral God emerged from shattered space. It had retrieved its right arm. The scepter in its hand slammed heavily into the ground.
Clang, clang, clang!
Su Xiao blocked the incoming dark red spikes one after another and slashed away an incoming 'death missile.' But suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.
'Sub...'
Pfft!
A two-meter-long armored war blade—short for the Ancestral God's size—pierced through Su Xiao's back. Unable to dodge in time, he could only shift slightly to avoid his heart. Otherwise, this strike would have shattered his heart instantly, and stitching it mid-battle would have been impossible.
Worse, after being backstabbed by this blade, Su Xiao's entire body went numb. Most of his abilities were severely disrupted, entering an unusable state. His physical strength was reduced by over 90%.
This was none other than the Ancestral God's 'Existence Clone.' Its absurdity was on par with a God Slayer's. The good news was that the Ancestral God only had one such clone; otherwise, the fight would have been unwinnable.
Hundreds of death missiles arced toward Su Xiao from the front. Though he couldn't use abilities, he could release his aura.
With a boom, blood energy spread. All incoming death missiles were tinged with a trace of blood energy. The Blood Beast, just formed, was compressed by Su Xiao into a 'Blood Core.'
The Blood Core shot out, ricocheting between the death missiles and detonating them.
A series of violent explosions followed. All death missiles exploded before hitting Su Xiao. Meanwhile, the blade piercing him and the 'Existence Clone' had both crystallized.
With a sweeping slash, the Existence Clone was shattered. The long blade returned to a proper grip, and Su Xiao rushed toward the Ancestral God ahead. Along the way, wind howled past, along with the mournful whistle of incoming death missiles.
Su Xiao felt everything around him slow slightly. He sidestepped an incoming death missile, even clearly seeing the patterns on its spiral body and the trailing dark tail flame. The moment it passed his head, it exploded.
In his space-penetrating state, Su Xiao felt the explosion's shockwave faintly tearing at spatial gaps. He exited the space-penetrating state mid-charge.
'Moon Crown Starfall.'
A crown-like moon disk appeared above, suddenly exerting pressure over a radius of dozens of kilometers. Silver star glimmers rained down. Amidst the dense starfall, nine out of ten death missiles heading for Su Xiao were detonated.
Hum~!
The moon crown above vanished. The long blade in Su Xiao's hand shimmered with a silver moon crown, moonlight flowing so intensely it dripped from the blade's tip.
Clang!
A silver slash filled everything ahead. The Ancestral God raised one hand, the Gravity Lord clashing with the silver moon slash, scattering all the moonlight, leaving only black slash marks in the air.
'Fated, Death.'
The Ancestral God's left eye burst with a bang. In response, Su Xiao, charging against the gravity that rippled space into layers of waves, had his last 'Blade Heart' shatter.
The Ancestral God watched Su Xiao, now just over ten meters away, with unusual calm. As long as it killed this Law Destroyer, the others' abilities, though bizarre or deadly, were ultimately no match for it head-on.
At its core, wasn't the reason these people could fight it to this point because of this powerful, nearly unkillable Blade Grandmaster Law Destroyer?
Now, it was this Law Destroyer's time to die.
Suddenly, a massive shadow fell over the sky. From the highest perspective, one would see a figure identical to the Ancestral God, as large as the main star of the God Realm, raising one hand. The terrifying energy gathered in that hand blasted toward the royal city below the sky.
An intense feeling of being locked onto made Su Xiao not waste his precious 'Swap' count. He was certain that even if he swapped positions with the Demon Spirit, the descending dark red light pillar would make a 90-degree turn and continue toward him.
"White Night, Lord."
A gruff voice suddenly came from Su Xiao's shoulder. A massive, hairless, dark red figure with glossy skin abruptly expanded, instantly becoming the iron-blooded hound Giant Bloodfang, over fifty meters long. The moment it appeared, it swallowed Su Xiao in one gulp.
Boom!!!
The entire world trembled from this strike. The dark red light pillar, initially hundreds of kilometers in diameter but compressed to a hundred meters as it descended, engulfed Giant Bloodfang.
"Roar!"
Amidst the pouring dark red light, Giant Bloodfang, usually stoic and with maxed-out pain tolerance, let out a pained roar. Its glossy skin rapidly broke apart, followed by flesh and bone, scattering gruesomely. When everything subsided, only Giant Bloodfang's head remained, with over half of it showing white, pitted bone.
Giant Bloodfang survived because the Law Destroyer inside its mouth had stabbed six slow-release injectors into its oral cavity, continuously supplying it with life force. Even so, the light in Giant Bloodfang's remaining eye was dim.
Su Xiao freed himself from Giant Bloodfang's mouth. The next instant, he was before the Ancestral God.
'Devour... All Things.'
A pitch-black maw, splitting open from the chest, descended from the sky.
'Extreme Realm · Star Boundary!'
With Su Xiao at the center, everything within a few hundred meters suddenly froze, entering 'Star Boundary Freeze.' Because the Ancestral God's main body was affected, the descending black maw, now so large its edges were invisible, also halted.
'Annihilation Blood Spear' formed rapidly, held in Su Xiao's left hand, and merged into his crystal left arm.
The upgraded 'Sun Holy Sword,' which he had been saving, was released. Inside the glass column container were marble-sized Apollos. The moment this item was taken out, a wave of intense dread spread, making all living beings feel a strong palpitation.
Thick, bloody energy was released and formed into a Blood Beast. The critical point was that this Blood Beast was formed around the 'Sun Holy Sword' and compressed by Su Xiao into a 'Beast Core' state.
With a hum, the 'Sun Holy Sword,' compressed to fist size by the 'Beast Core,' entered a detonation state. It didn't explode immediately because it was within 'Star Boundary Freeze.' Otherwise, compressing the 'Sun Holy Sword' like this with the Blood Beast would have caused an instant explosion.
If the pre-upgrade 'Sun Holy Sword' had a power of 100, the conservative estimate now was over 20,000.
Su Xiao's blood-tinged crystal left hand grasped the 'Sun Holy Sword.' He charged forward, his left arm, holding the 'Sun Holy Sword,' piercing through the Ancestral God's head. 'Absolute Pierce' was that fierce.
The long blade slashed down. Su Xiao cut off his crystal left arm at the elbow and delivered a full-force straight kick to the Ancestral God.
Boom!!!
The Ancestral God turned into a streak of light, flying straight toward the central district of the royal city.
A Law-Destroying Teleportation Array appeared beneath Su Xiao's feet. Bubu Wang and Baha, dragging Amu, stepped onto the array. If this intracranial high-temperature blast shattered the Ancestral God's head, they would teleport far away to avoid the spreading explosion. If it didn't, they would immediately press the advantage to finish it off.
At this moment, on the Royal Avenue, the Ancestral God crashed down heavily. It raised one hand toward its head, intending to use gravity to blast its own head off. But as its hand lifted—
A muffled explosion caused the Ancestral God to freeze in place. Then, from its facial orifices and the death missile launchers on its back, violent solar flames erupted. The immense pressure of the flame ejection even lifted its body slightly off the ground due to the launcher ports.
After a moment, the Ancestral God fell, its tall figure kneeling on one knee, spewing hot divine liquid tissue from its mouth. But before it could recover, the roar of the teleportation array came from ahead.
If not for its astonishing life force recovery, this strike would have killed it.
"Moo!"
Amu, whose chest had nearly been blown open from the inside by the Eye of Death, charged at the Ancestral God like a wild bull. Normally, the Ancestral God could have blasted him away with a wave, but now, it could only use the Scepter of Life to knock Amu back...
Wait, where was the Scepter of Life?
The Ancestral God's right hand was empty. Not far away, a goblin in a sharp suit, his face tense, was running with the Scepter of Life on his shoulder. It was the former chairman of the Goblin Merchant Guild, Berge Gold Crown. More importantly, the Ancestral God could no longer sense the stolen Scepter of Life at all, as if it no longer existed.
Amu crashed into the Ancestral God's chest. With an angry bellow, he pushed the Ancestral God backward up a flight of steps, finally slamming it back onto the high throne where it had first looked down on Su Xiao.
With a crackle, sparks flew from the Ancestral God's body. In the distance, Bubu Wang had gone all out with its intrusion abilities. It had directly connected to the terminal nerves, nearly overheating its dog brain. It had a large ice pack on its head. From the start of the battle, it had finally succeeded in its intrusion at this most critical moment.
Bubu Wang successfully hard-controlled the Ancestral God for three seconds.
Above, the planet-sized Ancestral God avatar was sparking all over. Bubu Wang had fully intruded and input a 'Virus Command: Self-Destruct.'
Beside the high throne.
Pfft!
An assassination short blade pinned the Ancestral God's right hand to the armrest. Metal threads coiled around its left arm, pulling outward with full force. It was Xiao, who had finally found her moment.
The Ancestral God's body erupted with numerous finger-thick, over ten-centimeter-long black tentacles, writhing wildly. Shenfu stood to the Ancestral God's right, his body covered in dense wounds, blood flowing profusely. He had been constantly resisting the Ancestral God's 'Existence System' ability and was severely injured.
"Lost · Lamb."
A seductive, hypnotic voice, as if from the depths of the earth, came from Shenfu's mouth. A layer of grayish dead skin began to peel from the Ancestral God's body.
A god nearly four meters tall, draped in a crimson cape, appeared behind the throne. A metal spine covered in runes hooked around the Ancestral God's neck from behind, further binding it to the throne.
"You...!"
The Ancestral God's remaining left eye widened slightly. The one behind it, using the power of the gods to strangle it, was its former disciple, the leader of the gods, Harota!
A whoosh of wind—a blood spear pierced the Ancestral God's shoulder. Then, a figure leaped from the tallest building in the distance, a long blade wreathed in dark blue smoke in his right hand, a metal-bound codex in his left.
A memory from the past matched this scene. Except, back then, the one killed like this wasn't it, but another Ancestral God. The one who killed that Ancestral God held a greatsword of the blazing sun in one hand and the same 'Origin Codex' in the other.
Pfft!
The long blade sank into the Ancestral God's chest, completely piercing its core.
Su Xiao opened the 'Origin Codex' in his left hand. The Ancestral God's divine blood began to flow uncontrollably, writing itself onto the 'Origin Codex.' To ensure enough divine blood, Harota, the leader of the gods, unhesitatingly bit open its own arm, ready to release its own divine blood at any moment.
When the last page of the 'Origin Codex' was fully inscribed, the Ancestral God had lost all its divine blood. The 'Origin Codex' snapped shut with a clap.
"I haven't yet..."
Clang~
The long blade slashed through the Ancestral God's throat. The massive mechanical head fell to the ground with a thud. The blue glow in its radial pupils extinguished completely.
Su Xiao flicked the dark blue divine blood from his blade, standing before the high throne. In the afternoon sunlight, his torso, over a third replaced by special Aoge crystals, and his eyes faintly glowing red, conveyed an undeniable sense of power.
The Ancestral God had been slain.
