166: The Five Gods take action
She stared blankly at her gradually demonized hands, muttering softly:
“So that’s what this is… They look like they’re devouring each other, but they’ve actually been secretly competing. And the power they release during their fight is the truly terrifying source of pollution…”
Before she could finish speaking, the Lord of the End’s great axe had already chopped down.
…
“Boom—”
The sky seemed to be violently torn open, revealing countless crimson eyes behind it.
That was Blood Skull’s true body rapidly expanding, densely covered with eyes, each reflecting the collapsing scene of the Tianwu World.
Just at this critical moment, the Dark Demon God suddenly threw the Martial Ancestor’s remains into the air and roared:
“Catch!”
Blood Skull opened his sky-obscuring giant mouth, seemingly ready to swallow it whole, but at the moment his mouth was about to close, he launched a sudden attack!
Twelve pairs of blood-colored wings transformed into blades, stabbing directly at the Dark Demon God’s heart:
“Die, you scum!”
“I’ve been expecting you!” The Dark Demon God grinned, crushing the black crystal in his hand, and the phantom of the Myriad Mirrors Abyss instantly unfolded.
The Blood Blades reflected by countless mirrors actually reversed direction, fiercely plunging into Blood Skull’s own body, piercing hundreds of holes in him.
The two great demons roared and laughed wildly, their battle so intense it seemed capable of blowing up the entire world.
And at this moment, the Tianwu World was on the verge of collapse.
The Star Dome Old Ancestor and War Heaven Old Ancestor stomped their feet in anxiety, shouting loudly:
“Quick, search! Are there any other Old Ancestors who haven’t appeared? If no one else makes a move, we’re all finished!”
Unfortunately, apart from the Martial Ancestor, almost none of the remaining Old Ancestors could withstand a battle of this level.
Some were trapped and couldn’t escape, while others had already been annihilated in the collision of the two demons.
Even more were terrified, not daring to show their faces at all.
Dong—!
Just at this tense moment, a clear bell chime rang out, calming everyone’s restless minds.
Dong—!
Another bell chime, long and profound, carried an indescribable penetrating power, instantly overpowering the roars of the two great demons.
The entire space of the Tianwu World seemed to have been paused, even the law fragments that were scattering solidified in mid-air.
Blood Skull’s blood wings, which were about to pierce the Dark Demon God’s heart, stopped in mid-air, while the abyssal black flames condensed in the Dark Demon God’s palm also strangely remained still.
Their crimson eyes looked towards the bell-ringer almost simultaneously.
The Five Directional Gods.
He was holding the Staff of God, symbolizing supreme authority, gently swaying it.
Each sway was accompanied by a distant bell chime.
At this moment, his lips twitched slightly, and he silently cursed in his heart: Damn it…
It’s been too long since I made a move, have they all forgotten about me?
However, he also hesitated—a one-on-two, the chances of winning didn't seem very high.
Just then, a fine crack suddenly appeared on the Staff in the Five Directional Gods’ hand.
This subtle change immediately caught the attention of the two great demons.
They almost simultaneously narrowed their eyes.
Blood Skull made the first move, an eyeball suddenly exploded, turning into a blood arrow, shooting directly at the Five Directional Gods’ glabella;
The Dark Demon God, on the other hand, exhaled a wisp of black flame, silently coiling towards the base of the Staff.
“Clang—”
The third bell chime exploded without warning, and the blood arrow and black flame collided with a roar just three inches from their targets!
The powerful shockwave sent the Lord of the End flying, his demonized body plowing a gully tens of thousands of miles long on the ground.
The Five Directional Gods looked down at the two demons, gently shaking his head, his tone calm with a hint of helplessness:
“You two scourges, you’ve committed so many sins, it’s time to face judgment.”
His voice was like a divine decree, beyond doubt. Dazzling divine light erupted from the tip of the Staff.
And at this moment, the scene of the Five Directional Gods intervening to stop the two great demons left an indelible impression in the hearts of all cultivators in the Tianwu World.
As soon as he finished speaking, the light above his head began to change, revealing the phantom of the Five Directional Heavens—
The Eastern Green Emperor, controlling Life;
The Southern Red Emperor, dominating growth;
The Western White Emperor, responsible for restraint;
The Northern Black Emperor, controlling concealment;
And the Central Yellow Emperor, governing change.
“Five Directions Rotate, Heaven and Earth Obey!”
With a low shout, the entire space of the Tianwu World was divided into five colorful domains.
Blood Skull and the Dark Demon God’s bodies were instantly enveloped by five-colored divine light, their movements immediately becoming sluggish, as if they had fallen into a quagmire.
“Old man of the Star Constellation Society, you’re courting death!” Blood Skull roared repeatedly.
His twelve pairs of blood wings behind him vibrated wildly, each feather transforming into a blood-colored blade, overwhelmingly striking towards the Five Directional Gods;
The seven skull gems on his chest also exploded simultaneously, gushing out seven blood rivers that pierced through heaven and earth.
The Dark Demon God, on the other hand, smiled coldly, forming a strange hand seal with both hands:
“Damned light, I will make you forever sink into the endless abyss of darkness.”
“Abyss · Eternal Night Descends!”
In an instant, the entire sky suddenly plunged into darkness…
Even most of the Five Directional Gods’ divine light was swallowed.
Countless twisted demonic figures crawled out of the darkness, emitting piercing screams.
The Five Directional Gods’ expression was solemn, he heavily struck the Staff in his hand, and let out a low shout:
“Five Emperors Suppress Demons!”
In an instant, five towering divine pillars descended from the sky, each emitting green, red, white, black, and yellow light.
A giant dragon coiled around each divine pillar, its roar deafening, echoing through the nine heavens.
“Boom—!”
The three forces collided violently, the entire crust of the Tianwu World was lifted, revealing a boiling sea of magma below.
The Star Dome Old Ancestor and others were sent flying tens of thousands of miles by the shockwave, crashing heavily into the ground.
And further away, the Nine Great Monarchs had already collectively fled to the edge of the world.
Looking at this world-destroying scene, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The Lord of the End frowned and said: “Fighting so fiercely, do they not want this world anymore?”
He had just killed Old Ancestor Qixia and was now hiding here to watch the show.
The Lord of Deception shook his head, his tone calm: “Initially, the main body wanted to keep it, but ever since the old fogeys of this world kept appearing one after another, the main body began to suspect. There must be something wrong with this world, and even if there isn’t, destroying it would bring peace of mind.”
The other Sovereigns nodded in agreement.
Indeed, there were too many “Old Ancestors” in this world, and they didn’t even know how many more hadn't shown up yet.
Anyway, the main body's reputation doesn't seem to have reached the next stage yet, so it's more practical to accumulate more energy.
Meanwhile, among the three powerful figures still clashing energies,
Especially the Dark Demon God, he always felt that something was off.
He could feel that the energy released by the guy opposite him was similar to his own, at most slightly stronger, so why were they fighting to a standstill?
Where did the other guy go?
Just as he was thinking, the Dark Demon God looked back and his eyes widened instantly.
That bastard was secretly sneaking off to feast!
Blood Skull was seen frantically slaughtering the humans of the Tianwu World, his twelve pairs of blood wings acting like funnels, sucking the sky-full of blood light into his body.
