115: Gao Yun died

Over Godfall City, black flames blotted out the sky!

These flames were so terrifying they could even completely incinerate divinity itself, a power of annihilation that undoubtedly belonged to the level of Law.

Guo Dehuai's expression changed, and he retreated rapidly, yet his left arm was still grazed by the black flames, its flesh instantly charring and turning to carbon.

"Ssss!"

Expressionless, Guo Dehuai raised his hand and, without hesitation, severed his left arm. A new arm rapidly regenerated, driven by his divine power.

This was also a common powerful ability of Demigods: as long as their divinity wasn't completely extinguished, they could achieve limb regeneration.

Of course, it also consumed a significant amount of their own power.

"I didn't expect it could still use some of the abilities it possessed in life. Truly worthy of an S-class Mutated Beast, troublesome even after death," Guo Dehuai said, his gaze grave.

However, the corner of his mouth soon curled into a cold smile. "But how many times can you use such a technique in your current state?"

Before his words faded, the Dragon Skeleton controlled by Gao Yun roared towards the heavens, its powerful Dark Divinity Aura erupting bit by bit.

However, to avoid complications, Guo Dehuai decided not to give him any more chances.

"kunlun mirror · Battlefield Projection!"

"Hum!"

With a thought from him, an ancient bronze mirror materialized above his head. Spinning rapidly, it radiated brilliant light, magnified countless times, and enveloped the entire Godfall City.

One could see the mirror reflecting a phantom image of the entire Godfall City. Strangely, the "Godfall City" within the mirror showed no sign of the Dragon Skeleton.

"What? Isn't that thing just a legend?" Gao Yun sensed something was wrong, but it was already too late.

"Battle Domain · Mirror Swap!"

"Swish!"

In an instant, reality and the mirrored world within the kunlun mirror swapped places. The massive body of the Dragon Skeleton was directly pulled into the mirror space.

Standing in the sky above the real Godfall City, Guo Dehuai said coldly, "Now, what other tricks do you have?"

Inside the mirror, Gao Yun struggled frantically, but the mirrored world contained no divinity whatsoever. The Dragon Skeleton's power was rapidly diminishing, filling Gao Yun with despair.

The kunlun mirror was a powerful Divine Artifact from the myths and legends of Xia Country. Gao Yun himself had once been a citizen of Xia Country and had even seen it in a museum in the Capital.

If it could be activated and used now, didn't that mean Xia Country possessed many other powerful methods?

After all, in the legends, the kunlun mirror was only one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts. There were nine others of similar level, each more terrifying than the last.

Guo Dehuai couldn't be bothered to explain.

The so-called kunlun mirror was merely a powerful divinity weapon forged by Xia Country through imitation. It combined various potent divine abilities like Hallucination, simulation, and void manipulation, a coincidental creation of a divinity weapon.

At full power, any Awakened One below the Late-Stage Demigod level, once swapped inside, wouldn't be able to escape for half an hour.

It was a type of powerful divinity equipment containing multiple Laws, auxiliary in nature, and capable of continuous improvement and growth.

"Guo Dehuai..."

Inside the mirror world, Guo Dehuai's hysterical roar echoed. The ghostly blue flames within the Dragon Skeleton's eye sockets dimmed bit by bit over time, and the divine power surrounding it was continuously suppressed and even eroded.

In Gao Yun's state, it would only take five minutes for his spirit to collapse and his divinity to be extinguished, leading to his death.

"It's over!"

Guo Dehuai now retracted his battle form. Then, with his right hand forming a virtual grip, he condensed an energy spear. Though less than two meters long, its Aura was no less formidable than before. Its tip pointed directly at the dragon-shaped Skeleton within the mirror.

"Godslayer · Boundary Breaker!"

"Whoosh—!"

In the next instant, Guo Dehuai hurled the spear in his hand like a javelin. It pierced through the mirror surface, aiming straight for the Dragon Skeleton's heart!

"Boom—!"

From the outside, the spear appeared less than two meters long. But upon entering the mirror world, it instantly expanded to hundreds of meters in size, carrying terrifying piercing force as it shot like lightning into the pitch-black heart.

"No... I refuse to accept this..."

Gao Yun's agonized scream resounded through heaven and earth. His entire heart completely exploded at that moment, transforming into black mist that wildly dispersed.

On the massive Dragon Skeleton, the pitch-black dark runes were gradually erased one by one. Finally, the entire dragon-shaped Skeleton solidified in its original, pristine state within the mirror world.

In the command room of Godfall City, Shen Lang was nearly scared to death at this moment, trembling uncontrollably.

As for Gao Yue, her Face was shadowed with gloom.

Master... was dead... The moment Guo Dehuai sealed the Dragon Skeleton and retrieved the kunlun mirror—

"Boom!"

A dark crack split open in the sky. Then, Shen Wubing appeared with a grim expression, flashing to a position a hundred meters opposite Guo Dehuai.

"Old Guo, it's been so many years since we last met. By acting like this now, do you intend to start an all-out war with Divine Gene?"

At this moment, Shen Wubing was clad in dark golden battle armor, his Aura profound and vast like an abyss or ocean. Behind him stood two Executors from Divine Gene, both at the Early Stage Demigod level, their presence imposing.

Seeing his opponent appear, Guo Dehuai curled his lips into a cold smile. "Shen Wubing, I've been waiting for you. Today, even your appearance cannot change my resolve.

Even if you awaken those two, I will not retreat..."

Looking up at Shen Wubing's unpleasant expression, Guo Dehuai continued, "Not only that. Starting today, there will be no more Divine Gene within the borders of Xia Country!"

As his words fell, Guo Dehuai erupted with divine energy, illuminating the surroundings.

"Hah, such big talk. In that case, don't blame Divine Gene for not giving you Face."

Before his words fully faded, he suddenly raised his hand—

"Divinity Shackles · Heavenly Punishment!"

"Boom!"

As he made his move, countless golden chains shot out from the Void Realm, instantly entangling Guo Dehuai's limbs, attempting to Seal the flow of his divinity.

"Hmph, you think you can manage with just this?" Guo Dehuai sneered, his divine power erupting violently—

"Battle Domain · Heroic Spirits Return!"

"Hum—!"

The numerous heroic spirits that had been slaughtering Divine Gene Awakened Ones throughout the city now seemed to heed a summons. They converged rapidly on Guo Dehuai from all directions, forcibly shattering the golden chains.

Shen Wubing's eyes darkened, and he was about to make another move—

"Swish!"

Between heaven and earth, a sword light descended as if from the Nine Heavens, slashing directly towards Shen Wubing.

The terrifying sharpness of the force made Shen Wubing's Face pale with shock as he hastily retreated.

"Sss!"

In the end, the sword light struck the dual defensive arrays of Godfall City. As its power exploded, the arrays completely shattered.

Immediately after, a massive sword scar, spanning over ten thousand meters horizontally, appeared in the very center of Godfall City.

"Haha, Shen Wubing, you've finally met your match today?"

Following a hearty laugh, the foremost of The Watchers, Jiang Ming, made his appearance!

Dressed in fluttering white robes, Jiang Ming at this moment resembled a sword deity descended from the Nine Heavens, his entire being radiating unparalleled sharpness.

"Damn it, no wonder Guo Dehuai dared to act so forcefully. They were already allied from the start."

Seeing Jiang Ming appear, Shen Wubing's heart jolted with sudden realization.

From the moment Gao Yun's attack failed and he was instead surrounded and severely wounded, today's outcome had already been predetermined.
