448: Chapter 446: Darkness and Light, Monsters and Saints

Gu Shengge quickly adjusted, relying on the yin-yang great mill to directly withstand the falling, terrifying giant claw.

It was just a single claw; if he couldn't even block this strike, there would be no point in continuing the battle—he might as well just convert on the spot.

Gu Shengge dragged the yin-yang great mill as if hoisting a massive mountain peak, ascending Heaven-Defyingly. The two Qis of Yin and Yang rotated and strangled, crashing directly into the descending giant claw.

"Boom!"

With a massive collision sound, the giant claw landed on the yin-yang great mill, their Dao Principles flowing and intertwining, strangling each other.

Under Gu Shengge's activation, the Primal Dao of Yin and Yang continuously collided and interlaced, causing a large amount of Chaos mist to diffuse. Within it was Gu Shengge's Law of Thunder; the sharp light blades continuously strangled the giant claw.

The giant claw hadn't feared Gu Shengge during the initial impact, but after the collision, its owner likely felt some regret. While it could withstand the Primal Dao of Yin and Yang, the Chaos Lightning mixed within was extremely difficult to deal with.

Those fluctuating lightning energies were constantly eroding its giant claw, seeping through the gaps in the fine scales to corrode its flesh and blood, causing particularly intense pain.

The kneeling Cultivators felt dazed. Under the influence of the cathedral's scriptures, they believed the True God they worshipped was omnipotent and could easily win even against a powerful opponent like Gu Shengge.

However, the reality was unexpected; their True God was blocked head-on by Gu Shengge, unable to erase him in an instant.

While they were in a daze, the White Towers scattered across the world shook violently. These cathedrals that enshrined the True God transformed into radiant light swords, rising from the ground and streaking across the firmament, quickly converging toward Gu Shengge's location.

A thousand miles away from Gu Shengge, they continuously gathered, condensing into an indestructible and magnificently powerful Divine Sword.

At the same time, the giant claw also exerted its strength.

After its attack proved fruitless, its rage exploded. The giant claw gripped the yin-yang great mill; this time it wasn't an attack, but a display of raw strength.

It began to struggle and climb into this world, trying to crawl out from that massive vortex.

Gu Shengge's gaze was like lightning, his Heavy Pupils appearing even more dazzling in the gloomy world. He himself was growing larger, and with a swing of the heaven-opening divine axe, he whipped up a gale between heaven and earth, whistling as he slashed toward the giant claw that had revealed half a shoulder.

That entity sensed the terrifying power sweeping toward it, and dark purple divine light erupted from its body, constructing square energy grids that surged toward Gu Shengge's direction of attack.

Gu Shengge's gaze was sharp as he swung the heaven-opening divine axe, cleaving into the foremost energy square.

"Bang!"

The energy square exploded, bursting with fierce Dao Laws that contained an extreme, gloomy, and freezing Qi, as if originating from the Nine Serenity Purgatory, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Shengge cleaved through the first square, followed by the second and third; each one contained that same gloomy power, leaving Gu Shengge exhausted from dealing with them.

His advance was extremely slow; he was simply unable to approach quickly enough to block the entity back.

Gu Shengge's brow furrowed slightly as he continued to charge and hack away, yet he still couldn't stop the opponent from descending.

The massive body had already passed more than halfway through the vortex, looking like a malevolent ghost from Hell. Most of its body was covered in scales, while other parts emitted the stench of rotting flesh.

Its face was even more terrifying; the eye sockets were hollow with no eyeballs, only strands of flesh hanging outside the sockets as if the eyes had been brutally gouged out.

This appearance truly had nothing to do with a 'god.' Those kneeling Cultivators were themselves Prodigies from various major Sects with very high standards.

Seeing the opponent's appearance, they found it truly difficult to accept. If not for the control of the scriptures' power, they wouldn't even want to kneel anymore.

Gu Shengge only made it halfway before the guy's power clearly grew much stronger once half its body was out. Upon that massive frame was the power of an extremely cold Dao.

Gu Shengge closed his eyes to perceive it, and the elemental powers within were continuously deconstructed, finally presenting themselves within Gu Shengge's Sea of Consciousness.

That was the Primal Dao of Extreme Darkness!

The moment Gu Shengge realized this, black clouds spread across the sky, quickly covering this world and plunging it into darkness.

While everyone was stunned, the massive half-body in the sky did not strike directly but continued to struggle, as if trying to squeeze the other half of its body through.

"Rumble..."

Thunder roared above the firmament as the monster's massive body continued to struggle violently. However, the world was pitch black and hard to see clearly; only when the thunder boomed and lightning flashed could some clues be seen.

The other side of that massive body didn't seem to be entirely black; as the other side gradually appeared, a bit of light returned to the world.

It was no longer the ink-like gloom from before. As light descended, the Cultivators could finally see the strange things around them.

In the sky, the monster's form finally revealed its other half—it was an entity draped in a white robe, appearing to be a human body.

After several rounds of straining, more than half the body had squeezed out. It was indeed human, wearing a white robe; the white radiance and the darkness on the monster constructed two completely different bodies, yet they were eerily joined in symbiosis.

This scene made Gu Shengge's brow lock tight. A symbiotic entity of the two Primal Daos of Light and Darkness—the opponent's cultivation was definitely beyond imagination. Crucially, these were among the most Primal Daos, making it extremely difficult to face.

After a moment's hesitation, he pointed his finger to activate the yin-yang great mill, pressing it forward.

Regardless of the consequences, as long as it could be drawn into the yin-yang great mill, there was only one path: being crushed and suppressed.

As the yin-yang great mill pressed down, the dark and hideous monster body trembled, letting out hoarse roars.

The other half of the body remained dignified and benevolent; even when facing the yin-yang great mill, its face still carried a faint smile.

However, this combination of a roaring monster face on one side and a smiling middle-aged man's face on the other felt bizarre no matter how one looked at it.

Under Gu Shengge's fierce attack, that entity also launched a counterattack.

The two Daos of Light and Darkness blended together, quickly spreading to the surrounding world and constructing a massive cage of light and shadow, actually encompassing both Gu Shengge and the yin-yang great mill within it.

The opponent's Realm was above Gu Shengge's; the situation was instantly reversed, and Gu Shengge was no longer the one in control.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

From the ground of light and shadow, black spikes shot out, flickering with a cold, eerie glint and carrying the attributes of dark corrosion and destruction as they spread toward Gu Shengge's feet.

Gu Shengge's brow was locked tight, but his heaven-opening divine axe was merciless, continuously slashing down with sharp power, shattering the encroaching black spikes one after another in a fierce counterattack. (End of Chapter)
