Chapter 1733: Patient Number Two and Number Three
Shen Qingzhu's figure flew out from within the atmosphere, the dark void of deep space coming into view.
Terrorizing waves of divine power blossomed from the emptiness. He looked up, and his brow immediately furrowed.
Between the Earth and the Moon, several massive and ferocious Cthulhu Faction gods were locked in a frenzied battle with the Gods of Great Xia. Each Cthulhu Faction god radiated sinister and fierce divine power. Three or four Golden Immortals working together could barely hold back a single Cthulhu Faction god.
A double-headed mountain worm thrashed wildly in the void. Dim gray flames erupted from one massive maw, shattering a corner of the山河社稷图 (Rivers and Mountains Diagram) that hung overhead. The other worm head clamped onto the shoulder of 玉鼎真人 (Jade Tripod True Man), tearing off half his body in a single savage bite!
Jade Tripod True Man let out a low roar. Ignoring his injuries, the sword in his hand transformed into a flying rainbow, stabbing directly into the worm's maw, piercing through its body, and shooting out from the other side. Pale yellow foul-smelling pus seeped from the two worm heads as a mournful shriek echoed through the mental worlds of all Great Xia gods.
Shen Qingzhu was still hundreds of kilometers from the battlefield, yet his mind felt as if it was being torn apart. The several Golden Immortals closest to the worm had their brains go completely blank, their bodies frozen stiff in the void.
The double-headed worm broke free from the encirclement of the Golden Immortals and charged directly toward Earth. At the same time, a gray domain expanded from beneath the feet of the Six-Winged Seraph!
Shh——
Shen Qingzhu pressed his index finger to his lips, walking silently through the void.
In an instant, the pitch-black void transformed into a gray world. Endless grayness surged wildly around the worm, locking its form in place.
The Angel of Silence's divine power seeped through the gray, slowly infiltrating the worm's body. Dense cracks began spreading across the surface of its mountain-sized form, as if it would soon dry up and crumble to pieces.
Just then, Shen Qingzhu's brow furrowed. The churning Cthulhu Faction divine power erupted once more from within the worm, tearing open a gap in the gray world!
Clack——clack——
The worm's body, which had already been restrained, forcefully broke free from Shen Qingzhu's hold. Its cracked skin quickly withered, and an entirely new worm crawled out from beneath the old skin, letting out a sharp shriek that stabbed at the spirit!
This worm could shed its skin?
Shen Qingzhu's brow creased. Enduring the discomfort in his mind, he gripped his palm toward the rapidly approaching smaller worm.
In the vacuum of space, a ball of air compressed to the extreme point suddenly appeared, like a singularity the size of a pearl. A trace of crimson light flickered within this air compressed ten million times over. In the next moment, an endless sea of flames erupted forth, completely submerging the worm within the gray world!
But even so, the worm couldn't be killed. Its massive form continued thrashing wildly in the flames, layer after layer of skin peeling away. Its shriek seemed capable of tearing everyone's consciousness to shreds.
Shen Qingzhu's expression turned grim.
The boost from achieving godhood as a human combined with the Six-Winged Seraph had catapulted his combat power to the apex of Chief God level. Yet even so, in a one-on-one situation, he could only barely suppress a single Cthulhu Faction deity, and without paying some price, it was nearly impossible to slay one.
Similar scenes were unfolding across other battlefields as well.
An invisible sound wave passed effortlessly through the乾坤圈 (Qiankun Ring) and混天绫 (Mighty Heaven Silk), revealing a vaguely discernible eerie being. It had no physical form, like a ghost traversing the universe, heading toward Earth.
Two other Golden Immortals struck out as well, yet still failed to halt it in the slightest. Everyone could barely perceive its existence and the aura it emanated, but no matter how they attacked, everything passed through it as lightly as a breeze.
"Damn it, what the hell is that thing!" Nezha shouted anxiously.
Ding——!
A blade of sword light burst from within the atmosphere into the void. Surging sword qi tides interwove into a wall, blocking that form outside of Earth.
Zhou Ping in his black robe emerged from the sword qi tide. He gazed down at the Cthulhu Faction deity floating within it, his expression grave.
"Reinforcements are here?!" Nezha's eyes lit up with joy at the sight of Zhou Ping.
At the same time, Master Chen who rode a carriage across the void, and Lu Wuwei who rode an electric scooter wearing a little yellow duck helmet, also appeared on the battlefield. Behind them, no other figures followed.
"Is it only you few?" Nezha asked, stunned.
"Human Apex individuals are still flesh and blood. Not everyone can possess the ability to walk in space... And in such an urgent situation, these are the only Apex-level beings we could contact." Master Chen resided within the carriage's Mindscape, answering helplessly.
Nezha's heart plummeted to the depths.
Currently, more than nine Cthulhu Faction gods had broken free from the Moon's seals, and more were continuing to pour out... Yet Heavenly Court's Chief God-level combat strength numbered only thirteen or fourteen total. Even adding Shen Qingzhu, Zhou Ping, and the two Apex-level fighters, they were completely outnumbered against this many Cthulhu Faction gods.
"It's over..." Nezha gazed at this chaotic and disordered battlefield, murmuring to himself.
...
Moon.
On the other side.
Two Taoist priests crossed the gray-white earth, leaving two blurry afterimages in the void, before finally stopping at the edge of a deep pit.
"It's here." Yuanshi Tianzun calculated the heavenly机 (prophecies) with his fingers, speaking in a deep voice.
The Supreme Lord of Daoist Morality narrowed his eyes. He removed the wooden sword from his back. His black-and-white Taoist robe fluttered slightly in the dead void. He exchanged a glance with Yuanshi Tianzun, and both simultaneously flashed into the deep pit!
At the bottom of the pitch-black pit, mysterious sealing patterns flickered within. A black man had both palms pressed against the seal. A profound darkness was frantically destroying these patterns, and a second breach was already becoming visible.
In the next instant, the might of two Supreme Gods flooded the entire pit!
Sharp sword qi and surging golden flowers tore apart the Moon's surface. A earth-shattering explosion pierced through the void. As the gray-white dust gradually settled, the black man who had been standing upon the seal had vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's brow creased.
The scene around them suddenly shifted. The pitch-black abyss completely vanished. In its place were four bare white walls and a tightly shut door.
A trap?
Sensing the temporal and spatial changes around them, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression grew grim.
Before stepping into this deep pit, he had clearly performed numerous calculations of heavenly prophecies. In this world, there was almost nothing that could evade his calculations and perception, let alone a trap possessing spacetime teleportation capabilities...
Just where was this place?
The instant this thought flashed through Yuanshi Tianzun's mind, that tightly shut door slowly opened.
A black man in a white coat stood smiling outside the door. He pushed up his stylish black-framed glasses and spoke unhurriedly:
"It seems we've welcomed two new friends... Patient Number Two, Yuanshi Tianzun. Patient Number Three, Supreme Lord of Daoist Morality.
I am your attending physician. You may call me Dr. Naya."
