442: Chapter 440: There are still experts?

The massive, holy Judgment Angel shattered with a bang under the impact of the taichu dao bell, and huge chunks of cloud mist crashed down into the crowd.

The Cultivators who were still praying were blown away by the violent impact of the cloud mist. Although not fatal, it was enough to severely injure them.

The leading Cultivator retreated in a panic, his face showing an even more furious expression than before as he roared, "Gu Shengge, God will punish you!"

Gu Shengge glanced at him upon hearing this. "To think you actually recognize me; how dare you be so insolent? Die!"

Two beams of Divine Light of Destruction burst from Gu Shengge's eyes, shooting out like divine spears and piercing his chest.

"Bang! Bang!"

With two loud bangs, his heart had already been pierced through.

He stared at Gu Shengge in disbelief, though it was unclear what exactly he found so unbelievable; that gaze was incomprehensible.

"God... will..."

He spat out these two words, but could say nothing more.

The surrounding Cultivators who had been blown away changed their expressions upon seeing this. Among them, he was the one with the deepest understanding of God, but now, he had actually been suppressed and killed by Gu Shengge.

"It's because his faith in God wavered! His heart was insincere, so God did not protect him!"

"Look, we sincerely believe in the deity, and aren't we still alive? We are still alive!"

"The deity we believe in is not wrong! God will protect us!"

He shouted loudly, giving the terrified hearts of the crowd a brief moment of relief.

Gu Shengge, however, was full of astonishment. "Another expert?"

He waved his hand, and Dao Principles transformed into divine blades, slashing toward the Cultivators below with a fierce momentum.

The nearest Cultivators were already injured, and with the divine blades attacking now, they were utterly unable to resist.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Their flesh and blood bodies directly exploded under Gu Shengge's Law divine blades, turning into blood mist with no remains left.

"The only reason you aren't dead is because I didn't strike to kill, yet you are actually so foolish!"

"Now, do you still think it's because your hearts are insincere in believing in your so-called deity?"

Gu Shengge's voice echoed around, and his world-dominating aura seemed to force even the surrounding cloud mist to retreat, sweeping out a large area of clear sky.

At this moment, only a dozen or so Cultivators were still alive, but their injuries were extremely severe, and they were in a near-death state.

The Cultivator who had been shouting earlier was intentionally left alive by Gu Shengge, but his lower half had been severed. He fell onto the clouds, wailing incessantly.

Gu Shengge looked directly up at the Nine Heavens, where there was only boundless silence. It seemed as if they were afraid, for no more so-called oracles were sent down.

"Why? Why?"

That Cultivator wailed and roared, but there was no response. The prayer method they had successfully used many times before failed to elicit even the slightest response from God.

He felt as if he had been abandoned by the deity; his life was dark, and there was no longer any hope.

This feeling of despair spread, making the remaining Cultivators even more desperate. Amidst the wailing, they gradually fell silent.

When their despair reached its Peak, a white light suddenly appeared in the sky, forming a vortex that radiated a holy and peaceful glow.

After being shone upon by that light, the Cultivators who were still wailing seemed to lose all their pain and anger. Their expressions became serene and peaceful, and their Divine Souls slowly floated up, rising into the high sky.

Their emotions completely stabilized. When they looked at Gu Shengge, there was neither resentment nor hatred; there was even a hint of compassion.

Gu Shengge did not like that look at all.

"You dare to snatch people right in front of me? Why don't you come here yourself!"

Gu Shengge shouted angrily, his hands clenching the air to gather Great Dao Power of Slaughter. A massive spear formed in his palm, shimmering with divine light and carrying a sharp, bone-chilling killing intent.

"Die!"

With a malicious smile on his face, Gu Shengge thrust the spear toward the Divine Souls floating upward. The aura of freezing killing intent lunged into those Divine Souls, shattering them instantly. They were covered in cracks and then exploded, turning into nothingness.

This time, even their Divine Souls were not preserved.

Gu Shengge's target, however, was not here. He stared at the peaceful white vortex in the sky, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes as the Divine Spear of Slaughter pierced toward the vortex.

Further away, a small number of Cultivators remained in the scattered white towers. In their desperate situation, they also began to believe in the deity within the towers, becoming the most sincere believers.

They were very far away, but the peaceful white vortex in the sky was clearly visible. It was likely an intentional act by certain beings to let the believers see God receiving the deceased faithful into the Kingdom of Heaven to enjoy eternal bliss.

However, developments clearly did not go according to their plans.

The Great Dao Divine Runes spreading across the sky gradually expanded. Amidst the peaceful aura, a blood-colored divine rune appeared as a spear carrying freezing killing intent crashed into the peaceful vortex.

"Bang!"

In the explosion, the peaceful vortex was pierced by the blood-colored spear. The Divine Power inside fluctuated violently, and the rotation speed became faster and faster.

"Buzz!"

The peaceful energy inside could no longer hold on and burst apart. The erupting energy seemed to tear the sky, creating a massive rift.

Behind it was a darkness like an abyss; the so-called peaceful Kingdom of Heaven was nowhere to be seen.

"How bold! What madman dares to attack a Miracle? That fellow, that wretched Heretic!"

"Who is it?! Argh... to dare desecrate the deity like this, is he not afraid of falling into Hell after death?"

...

Those Cultivators roared and cursed from all sides. The high-and-mighty deity they believed in had been so desecrated; he truly deserved to die!

At the same time, the scriptures being chanted in their ears also changed, with some unknown information appearing within them. This forced them to temporarily stop their angry denunciations of the fellow who dared to be disrespectful to the gods to decipher the oracle.

They knelt on the ground, praying continuously. After comparing the previous scriptures with the current ones, they derived an oracle.

"Slay Gu Shengge."

After deciphering the oracle, the image of the blood-colored spear piercing the oracle vortex involuntarily surfaced in their minds. The fellow the oracle wanted to slay was likely that person who was disrespectful to God!

They did not know who Gu Shengge was, nor had they participated in any hunt for him, but now that they had received an oracle, they would no longer stand by!

Among these people, there were also many Cultivators from the Jietian Sect and Cangxuan Holy Land who had been stranded and unable to find the main force. Their expressions were solemn, and a glint flashed in their eyes.

They knew who Gu Shengge was.

For the Jietian Sect, he was a forbidden nightmare; their Saint had once been severely injured and eventually killed by him.

Yet, he happened to have a very close relationship with the Saintess, and the Sect had no way to deal with him.
