The next day, Yunng Marsh, Bronze Island.
"Is this Xiangliu’s head?"
Standing before that towering Human Head Tree, Xiluo looked up with keen interest at the newly hung snake head.
Unlike Qing Fu and Mu Zheng, this snake head was the genuine head of a Celestial God, one of Xiangliu’s nine heads.
Even when fused with the Human Head Tree, it couldn’t conceal its fierce nature.
"I say, that kid just likes to seek trouble for himself."
"Just tossing this head into the Sea of Trees would have been fine, yet he insisted on having bring it back."
Transford into a black-and-white dog, he lay on the tree branch.
The Celestial Erosion Monarch rarely showed a hint of weariness.
After five long years without rest, even a Celestial God of his rank felt exhausted.
Moreover, to prevent Xiang Yao’s blood from contaminating the land along the way...
The Celestial Erosion Monarch had been constantly employing the Power of Yin and Yang, managing to finally bring it back to Yunng Marsh.
"Hasn’t the child always had this character since he was young?"
"Besides, although the Human Head Tree is a seal, it’s also a ans of prolonging life."
"I may not be interested in such matters, but the child has always been fascinated by strange and peculiar things..."
"Aren’t you curious about Xiangliu’s head and its all-polluting poisonous blood?"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Erosion Monarch rolled his eyes deftly.
"I’m different from that kid; he’s curious about all unknown things."
"I’m just a typical utilitarian. If that kid ever researches a new curse or divine power, I’d be interested in learning it."
"As for now?"
"I still have another Soul Jade to handle, so don’t bother in the coming days."
Before he finished speaking, the Celestial Erosion Monarch turned and disappeared from Bronze Island.
Xiluo knew he was heading to the [Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror], eager to refine the remaining thoughts within the Hidden Flying Soul Jade.
"This ti... how many years do you plan to spend again?"
With a complex expression, she watched the disappearance of the Celestial Erosion Monarch.
Xiluo knew she couldn’t persuade him, and could only watch him indulge in his obsession.
Because, as Li Boyang said, finding the Soul Jade left by the Huai River Witch had already beco the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s obsession.
Today’s Xiluo had long accepted Wu Yao’s death with calmness.
And with Li Boyang’s help, she’d freed herself from the chains that bound her for a thousand years, truly embarking on her own future.
In contrast, the Celestial Erosion Monarch, trapped by the past, had no aning to continue living if he abandoned the obsession of searching for the Soul Jade.
"A fool engrossed in the past will eventually drown in their own obsessions."
At this mont, Xiang Yao, hung on the Human Head Tree, spoke.
Obviously, as one of Xiangliu’s nine heads, Xiang Yao was well aware of the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s past.
Even in the Great Xia, known for its talented individuals, the Celestial Erosion Monarch, with the power to devour heaven and eat the sun, was one of the most elite Celestial Gods.
But he vanished for over a thousand years after the Huai River Witch’s death.
Xiang Yao didn’t know what transpired in that millennium.
But he could see that the Celestial Erosion Monarch had lost his vigorous courage of the past millennium.
For gods, especially Celestial Gods, the continuity of will was paramount.
As long as the will remained unextinguished, even if they died, there was a possibility of returning as Ghost Gods.
Now, although the Celestial Erosion Monarch was more powerful and unfathomable, his will had reached a low point in this life.
"Even if that silly dog is just a dog, you, a head, are no match for him!"
The ribbon behind instantly transford into an iron fist and blasted out; Xiluo shouted angrily.
Boom!
With just one punch smashing on the snake head, the entire Bronze Island trembled.
The Bronze Spiders within the Bronze Tree sward out in terror.
Xuansi Gu and Ling Guzi looked stunned towards the direction of the Human Head Tree.
Especially Xuansi Gu, who rembered the last ti Xiluo was so agitated was when Feilai Peak collapsed.
"It seems my words hit your sore spot!"
Despite the pain, Xiang Yao stubbornly retorted.
After all, Xiluo’s extre reaction and her not killing him indicated she knew he was right.
"After the transformation into a Celestial Disaster, Celestial Gods theoretically should possess infinite lifespan."
"But we both know it’s just theoretical."
"The Celestial Gods insist on retaining their pre-transformation forms as perfect evidence."
"Like those Great Witches with shattered Heart Images, when faith begins to collapse, when mory starts fading, the countdown from life to death for the Celestial Gods begins."
Xiang Yao’s snake head slowly lowered from the tree, but the voice remained sharp.
"That Heavenly Dog’s persistence in Wu Yao’s death is exactly the prelude to his collapsing faith."
"First, his personality becos stubborn and obstinate, followed by a rapid fade in mories unrelated to his obsession, until eventually forgetting who he is."
"When that ti cos, if that Heavenly Dog goes insane, are you confident in killing him?"
His words were laced with unrestrained mockery and regret, and Xiang Yao had witnessed the demise of countless Celestial Gods.
This included so comrades who once fought alongside him.
So, although he was hung up on the Human Head Tree by the Celestial Erosion Monarch, he felt no hatred towards him.
Sparring with a god on the brink of death was never Xiang Yao’s style.
However, looking at Xiluo, he imdiately saw through her impulsive and irritable nature, indicating she was well-protected.
"Do you believe that before that silly dog dies, you might be buried with him?"
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Xiluo was indeed fully enraged, even her tone cooled.
"Wait..."
Just as Xiluo was about to strike, a faint golden halo appeared out of nowhere behind her.
Li Boyang spoke in ti to stop Xiluo’s attack, stepping out with a hint of helplessness from the halo.
Behind that halo, constructed by the [Qiankun Ring],
the startled expressions of Li Jingshu, the Red Fish, and the joyful Li Xi were visible.
"Can’t you see he’s deliberately provoking you to seek death?"
With Li Boyang’s appearance, the golden halo behind him vanished accordingly.
Yet, Xiang Yao had already focused entirely on the [Qiankun Ring] on Li Boyang’s wrist.
Being an Evil God alive for several millennia, a decline in power certainly did not an a decrease in knowledge.
Thus, Xiang Yao imdiately recognized the essence of the [Qiankun Ring].
"The power to manipulate Qiankun... you’re the Celestial Being, aren’t you?"
When Xiang Yao looked again at Li Boyang, he knew his intentions were exposed.
"Deliberately provoking ?"
Instinctively widening her eyes, Xiluo’s gaze shifted between Li Boyang and Xiang Yao, almost imdiately believing his judgnt.
"You’re attempting to use my hand to commit suicide!?"
