Chapter 196: Slaying a God!
Zhongli Wu's furious roar of shock echoed under the dark red sky of the Demon Space, filled with disbelief.
He watched helplessly as his god-level Beast Spirit, the Bone Dragon King—which he had spent countless efforts on and was as precious as his own life—had its deep-seated dragon soul mark triggered by the holy light of the Six-winged Angel at the critical moment, forcibly breaking free from the contractual shackles of the death god demon puppet!
The backlash hit his soul origin like a heavy hammer, causing his blood and qi to churn and his divine power to stall for an instant.
What terrified him even more was that after breaking free, the Bone Dragon King's empty eye sockets, burning with golden-red soul fire, had completely locked onto him, its former controller.
Contained within that gaze was the sky-high resentment of being enslaved and twisted for countless years, the endless fury of the Dragon Race's pride being trampled upon!
"Roar—!"
A sorrowful and furious dragon roar shook the surroundings. The Bone Dragon King's massive skeletal body carried a momentum that could crush everything; no longer restricted, it flapped its wings. Although the dark red evil fire on the left and the faint blue frost on the right appeared somewhat violent and unstable because the energy core had been disrupted by Ye Guyi's strike, they still merged into a destructive torrent of wind and fire, surging toward Zhongli Wu like a collapsing heavenly river!
Wherever it passed, space distorted, and the ground melted only to instantly freeze again, presenting a bizarre scene of two extremes of ice and fire.
"Vile beast! How dare you turn on your master!" Zhongli Wu shouted hoarsely in shock and anger.
Although he had lost the Bone Dragon King, his cultivation as a level 101 Evil God was genuine. However, facing this wrathful blow from his former servant, he still didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent.
"Myriad Soul Barrier!" Zhongli Wu's hands danced rapidly, and the gray-black evil energy around him boiled. Countless phantoms of resentful souls wailing in pain swarmed out of his body, instantly weaving into an incredibly massive, constantly writhing soul shield in front of him.
On the shield, hideous faces were layered upon each other, emitting extremely strong soul defense and devouring properties.
"Boom—!!!"
The torrent of wind and fire slammed heavily into the Myriad Soul Barrier, erupting with an earth-shattering roar. Under the dual impact of fire and frost, the resentful souls let out shrill screams, constantly dissolving and regenerating.
The barrier shook violently, and countless cracks appeared on its surface, but it ultimately withstood the Bone Dragon King's full-strength, hate-filled impact.
However, before Zhongli Wu could catch his breath, a cold voice filled with the sense of judgment rang out behind him:
"Your opponent is also me!"
Before the words finished, a golden sword light, as brilliant as the rising sun, tore through the pervasive evil energy. Carrying the majestic divine power to purify all filth in the world, it stabbed straight toward Zhongli Wu's back! It was Ye Guyi!
How could she let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away? The moment the Bone Dragon King launched its attack and drew all of Zhongli Wu's attention, she had used the Six-winged Angel's transcendent speed and demigod-level divine power to circle behind Zhongli Wu like a ghost, her Angel Sword pointing directly at his vital point!
"Despicable!" Zhongli Wu's face paled with horror. With the Bone Dragon King's violent impact in front and the Angel Sword's lethal sneak attack behind, he instantly fell into an unprecedented crisis.
In his haste, he could only desperately twist his body, forcibly condensing the phantom of the death god demon puppet behind him while simultaneously activating his protective divine light.
"Squelch—!"
The blade of the Angel Sword was indestructible, especially with its absolute suppression of evil energy. The hastily condensed phantom of the death god demon puppet was easily pierced like paper, and the blade entered Zhongli Wu's protective divine light without hindrance. Although his dodge prevented it from hitting his vital back, it still left a wound deep enough to see the bone on his left shoulder blade!
"Ah!" Zhongli Wu let out a groan of pain. No blood flowed from the wound; instead, sizzling white smoke rose. The holy energy, like maggots in a bone, crazily eroded his Evil God body, bringing heart-piercing pain and a sense of dissipating divine power.
Shocked and furious, he retreated violently, attempting to distance himself from Ye Guyi and the Bone Dragon King.
But Ye Guyi was relentless. The sword light followed him like a shadow, turning into a sky-covering golden sword net that blocked all his paths of retreat. The Bone Dragon King also adjusted, once again breathing out a chaotic yet still terrifying breath of wind and fire, cutting off his space to dodge.
For a moment, Zhongli Wu, this newly ascended Evil God, was forced into a corner by a demigod angel and a Bone Dragon King that had just broken free from control, left in a wretched state.
He had a god-level cultivation, but with his attributes suppressed and being attacked from both sides, he found it difficult to fully utilize his power.
"Curse you! You forced my hand!" A look of madness flashed in Zhongli Wu's eyes. He knew that if this continued, he would surely be defeated.
He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. The blood was not red but a dark, near-black color, emitting extreme filth and misfortune.
"With my blood, I sacrifice myriads of souls! Gate of the Underworld, open!"
The essence blood merged into the surrounding evil energy, and immediately, an aura far colder and more deathly than before spread out.
Behind Zhongli Wu, space was forcibly torn open, and a massive portal constructed from countless skeletons and struggling resentful souls slowly emerged. Behind the portal, it seemed to connect to the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, emitting a suction that devoured everything and a chill that froze the soul.
This was his desperate divine technique, an attempt to pull Ye Guyi and the Bone Dragon King into the realm of death together!
However, just as the suction of the Gate of the Underworld intensified, attempting to distort space and pull Ye Guyi in, the Bone Dragon King let out an even louder dragon roar, filled with unyielding determination and resolve!
Its golden-red soul fire burned to the extreme, as if it wanted to completely ignite this enslaved remnant body. It ignored the suction of the Gate of the Underworld, and its massive skeletal frame turned into a meteor, crashing recklessly toward Zhongli Wu!
It wanted to use its final existence to seek justice for its defiled Dragon Race pride!
"Lunatic!" Zhongli Wu hadn't expected the Bone Dragon King to be so resolute as to seek mutual destruction. He was forced to distract himself by controlling the Gate of the Underworld to block the Bone Dragon King's collision.
That was the moment!
Ye Guyi's eyes narrowed as she poured her entire divine power into the Angel Sword without reservation. The holy sword seemed to fully awaken; the blade became transparent, and inside, it seemed as if golden divine blood was flowing. The gem at the hilt turned into a true miniature sun!
"In the name of the angel, I summon the True Sun Fire to purify the evil of this world! Final Judgment!"
Holding the sword with both hands, she merged with the blade, turning into a pillar of golden light that pierced through heaven and earth. It was no longer a stab but a direct, righteous strike with the will of judgment that could crush everything, slashing down at Zhongli Wu, who was exposed and full of openings due to the Bone Dragon King's collision!
Zhongli Wu's pupils shrank, and despair finally appeared in his eyes. He desperately urged the Gate of the Underworld and the death god demon puppet to defend, but under the Final Judgment—which gathered all of Ye Guyi's conviction, divine power, and the original power of the Angel Sword—all resistance appeared pale and weak.
"No—!!!"
Amidst Zhongli Wu's shrill and desperate howl, the golden pillar of light completely swallowed him along with the Gate of the Underworld behind him.
The holy light blazed, and all evil was banished!
The dazzling light lasted for several breaths before slowly dissipating. In his place, Zhongli Wu's figure had completely disappeared, without even a trace of ash left behind. Only the slight deathly aura remaining from the collapsed Gate of the Underworld quickly vanished in the holy light.
The Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Evil God Zhongli Wu, had fallen!
