441: Chapter 439: Divine Oracle, Angel of Judgment

In the sky, boundless Spiritual Qi surged and swirled around them, condensing into the forms of dragons and tigers. Divine Beasts roared, stirring ripples in the air.

Behind them, their Qi boiled and fused together amidst furious roars, transforming into a colossal humanoid figure.

Behind the humanoid cloud figure, six pairs of enormous cloud wings slowly flapped. With each gentle motion, fierce gales erupted, mixed with storms of the Great Dao Laws, sweeping toward Gu Shengge with overwhelming might.

Gu Shengge frowned slightly. These Cultivators were all disciples of great sects, but now, they seemed stubbornly deluded.

A murderous intent rose in Gu Shengge's heart, his killing aura turning icy and oppressive, causing Jun Mengqing, Cui Xuaner, and the others to shudder uncontrollably, their expressions shifting abruptly.

Cui Xuaner hurriedly stepped forward, 'Hey! This is your last chance. Your so-called 'supreme deity' won't be able to protect you. If you insist on attacking, you'll only end up dead!'

'We are all Cultivators from the Zhongtian Star Domain. We don't wish to spill too much blood. Don't bring ruin upon yourselves!'

Cui Xuaner tried to reason with them, but these fellows seemed ungrateful. Upon hearing her warning, their faces darkened further, their sharp eyes scrutinizing her intently.

At the forefront, a man spoke gravely, 'This woman is quite beautiful and possesses noble Bloodline from the Cangxuan Holy Land. During the sacrifice, she could serve as ritual material.'

Cui Xuaner's face instantly turned ashen. She had kindly warned them, never expecting them to be so unreasonable, even demeaning her as mere 'material.'

Her expression icy, Cui Xuaner said, 'Senior Brother Gu, these people dare to plot against the Saintess of the Jietian Sect and me from the Cangxuan Holy Land. Killing them is to save us. Go ahead.'

Gu Shengge had long since harbored killing intent. As the storm surged toward him, a halo of the Great Dao manifested behind him. Though not yet perfected, within this Secret Realm, it could be called invincible!

Divine radiance bloomed, shattering the oncoming storm entirely. The area where they stood remained completely unaffected.

Gu Shengge commanded the taichu dao bell with divine will. Golden Divine Runes shimmered upon it, intertwined with strands of golden Dao principles, spiraling as it smashed toward the Cultivators.

The fifty or so Cultivators showed no urgency. In their ears echoed the chants of deities—divine words from the Nine Heavens, the result of their day and night prayers within the White Tower.

They suddenly raised their hands high and began chanting an unknown sacrificial hymn.

Behind them, the colossal twelve-winged entity grew more solid, its white clouds radiating a sacred glow.

'Judgment Angel, execute!'

In the hands of the twelve-winged Judgment Angel, a massive cloud-formed greatsword materialized. Sharp and divine, it gathered immense power as it was slowly raised overhead, poised to strike directly at Gu Shengge, Jun Mengqing, and their companions.

'Stubbornly deluded!'

With an angry shout, Gu Shengge charged forward. The taichu dao bell continued to resonate, its sound waves vast and mighty, causing the surrounding clouds to collapse. The oncoming storms shattered one after another, forming a calm and peaceful passage at the center.

Standing within it, Gu Shengge unleashed a mighty pressure of the Great Dao. The halo behind him shone brilliantly, impervious to all techniques. In an instant, he appeared before the praying Cultivators.

They numbered over fifty—Cultivators who had been forced to seek refuge within the tall towers due to the rampant strangeness in various places.

After Cultivating those scriptures, their minds and attitudes had been fundamentally affected. Even with Gu Shengge now right before them, their expressions remained cold and numbness, wholly devoted to prayer.

Just as Gu Shengge was about to strike, the Judgment Angel in the sky, holding the greatsword, took action. The sword came crashing down like a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, imbued with sacred attributes and the pressure to destroy everything.

Gu Shengge's eyes blazed with intensity. A Divine Light of Destruction brimming with annihilative energy gathered continuously within his pupils. Coiling and swirling, a light capable of obliterating heaven and earth, piercing through past and present, erupted from his eyes, carrying the vast might of the Great Dao toward the descending Judgment Divine Sword.

'Boom!'

The dazzling divine light was like a blazing sun rising in this eternally bright world. Scorching heat erupted, instantly fusing the clouds within a thousand-mile radius. The thick clouds on the ground evaporated one after another, continuously dissipating and sinking, growing thinner.

'Boom!'

As the divine light faded, the light in Gu Shengge's dual pupils receded. The massive Judgment Divine Sword still hung in the sky, but it no longer pressed downward, instead remaining suspended in the air.

Below, the Cultivators wore dazed expressions. The force unleashed from the collision between the Divine Light of Destruction and the Judgment Greatsword was beyond their endurance. The previous spectacle had utterly terrified them.

After all, they had only been chanting and praying daily; the deity had not truly granted them an audience. Expecting them to be fanatical enough to die was clearly unrealistic.

Some among them had even considered fleeing moments earlier. Facing this man, they truly felt a profound sense of helplessness.

When the divine light completely faded and they saw the Judgment Divine Sword still intact, they finally erupted into cheers.

They felt that the power of the Judgment Angel ultimately surpassed this man's. Their faith had not been wrong!

'Hahaha! Arrogant Heretic, do you think you can withstand the judgment of the Angel?'

'Now, kneel on the ground and pray sincerely to the Angel!'

He roared. While the others had shown fear earlier, he alone remained mania and madness, eyes bloodshot with indescribable excitement.

Gu Shengge slightly furrowed his brow, 'Are you certain your so-called Angel can still attack me?'

'What do you mean?' he asked, puzzled.

The Cultivators behind him also wore bewildered expressions. They didn't understand why Gu Shengge could still act so arrogantly when his attack had been repelled.

'Crack, crack, crack...'

A sound of something shattering came from the sky. They abruptly looked up, staring in disbelief at the cloud-formed greatsword infused with the Great Dao Laws. Cracks densely covered the sword, gradually revealing a state of imminent collapse.

The cracks multiplied and deepened. Within them, the Divine Runes of the Great Dao flickered with faint golden light, seemingly struggling to maintain the sword's form.

'Boom!'

But that power was ultimately too weak. With a thunderous explosion, the cloud-formed greatsword The divine runes that had been condensed completely collapsed.. Large chunks of cloud fell, crashing onto the thick cloud layers with resounding booms. Violent explosions and shattered Divine Runes of the Great Dao swept across thousands of miles, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Gu Shengge gave no chance for this so-called Judgment Angel to gather power again. The taichu dao bell had already been hurled out. The Divine Runes upon it suddenly brightened, emitting a grand Dao sound. The The ripples of shock spread to the Angel of Judgment., cracks spreading across its form. (End of Chapter)
