Capítulo 1562: Chapter 252: Godslayer (Third Update!)
Millions of tons of light descended.
The ground shattered by the brilliant flowing light, Long Qi, gathering the Spiritual Locks of the Holy Judge Army’s spirits, summoned the deity, and stabbed the snowfield with a single divine sword, the light cascaded like a waterfall, raising a towering wave.
The entire world’s clamor was pierced by an arrow.
Gu Shen released the string.
A streak of dark light shot out.
The divine sword was pierced by a straight line of black destruction, this pitch-black line shot from the ground to the sky above, tearing through the forehead of the Divine Statue.
Under the blessing of Achilles’ Heel.
Gu Shen captured the “weakness” of this giant Divine Statue in just 0.1 seconds and shot through it!
Accompanied by the forehead’s shattering.
The enormous Light God Statue began to crack, its brilliant waterfall scouring the earth, the faux deity collapsed and crumbled—
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
In the great trembling of the world, Gu Shen stood, bow in hand.
Actually, he had a better solution.
That was to aim Extinguishing Candle at the domain-clad Long Qi.
This false “god summon,” the simplest and direct thod for breaking it was to kill the original host!
The true “god descent,” the original host temporarily transford into a god.
In this case, even with Achilles’ Heel, there was no better way, only to confront it head-on.
While this false “god summon” was different, Long Qi himself was the biggest weakness.
No matter the ans used for assistance, a Transcendent’s greatest reliance is always on themselves.
If they are not strong enough, even summoning a true deity won’t be of any use.
This is also why the Divine Throne carefully selects Angels.
If the selected Angel is weak, even the ti to bear the “god descent” will be shorter than others.
…
…
Gu Shen successfully accomplished his goal—
With that arrow earlier, he now had a sufficient concept of the card [Truth].
Extinguishing Candle was still Extinguishing Candle.
After erasing the Devil, the power of [Truth] was not diminished.
But after using the ruler, he always felt a shadow in his heart.
The ominousness increased.
Moreover, the increase was more than ever before!
This is the price required for using forbidden artifacts.
Before, Gu Shen used Extinguishing Candle to shoot down only a fourth tier, at that ti the power that the ruler could wield wasn’t as terrifying as now.
Extinguishing Candle, in essence, shattered the rules of the material world.
Not to ntion divine level auxiliary fields like Achilles’ Heel.
Drawing the bow requires consuming a large amount of spirit; additionally, it carries a heavy burden of causality.
“Using Extinguishing Candle in the real world requires a greater price than in the Spiritual World.”
Previously, after dispatching the Devil, Gu Shen continuously drew the bow.
He felt quite relaxed.
As for now… although he had the confidence to continuously draw the bow, his Spirit Sea could surely support the operation, but the subsequent “disaster” backlash would not be straightforward.
“This card, unless absolutely necessary, is better left unused.”
Gu Shen exhaled a long breath.
At this mont the snowfield was utterly silent.
Accompanied by the Extinguishing Candle shattering the Xiang Master’s domain, Long Qi’s greatest reliance was destroyed, he spat out blood and his spirit was utterly depleted.
And those Holy Judges who voluntarily gave a wisp of spirit, transferred to the Xiang Master, also suffered a backlash!
“Swoosh—”
Gu Shen raised his hand in a wave, his [Pure Land] naturally taking over the situation.
Scattered gunfire on the snowfield also froze.
Covered in frosty blue.
He walked slowly, where he passed, the Holy Judges were frozen into ice sculptures.
Finally, Gu Shen ca before Long Qi.
This temple’s seventh elder struggled to lift his head, his face pale as paper, after the Xiang Master was shattered, he was the one who suffered the greatest backlash.
The weak point directly shot by [Extinguishing Candle] connected to his Spirit Sea.
Long Qi’s Spirit Sea had already cracked, even if Gu Shen didn’t strike, he wouldn’t live long.
The Fiery Eyes emitting fluorescence had beco utterly dim, its previous majesty vanished.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to kill …”
“I… before dying, have so last words…”
He actively spoke, in a tone of pleading, imploring Gu Shen not to rush into action.
Gu Shen looked at Long Qi expressionlessly.
The temple’s seventh elder smiled wretchedly and asked, “Are you Netherworld King’s Angel? Disciple? Or… heir?”
“…”
Gu Shen absolutely couldn’t respond to such a question.
He knew Light City had many ghostly tricks, the earlier “god summon” already exceeded his imagination.
Right now he couldn’t be sure what consequences would follow if he removed the Ghost Face.
So he definitely couldn’t give a response.
If Long Qi could send this answer back to West Continent…
That would be troubleso.
“Alright then…”
Long Qi saw the sinister Ghost Face silently responding and understood the situation, so he didn’t pursue further inquiry, just chuckled slightly, muttering, “The ‘darkness’ around you is truly terrifying, in my lifeti at the temple I’ve never seen such a pitch-black disaster… I can only think of the ‘Netherworld King’s Spark’.”
Gu Shen arched a brow.
“Regardless of whether you have a connection with this spark, I must believe… you are Netherworld King’s person.”
Long Qi placed both hands on his knees.
He softly said, “I want to bet, on whether you are a remnant believer of ‘Netherworld’.”
“Hmm?”
Gu Shen squinted his eyes.
The next mont, Long Qi’s body ignited again, and his Spirit Sea burned completely. This Titled knew his Heart Lake had shattered, so he no longer made any last struggles, choosing instead to ignite all his spirit, aiming to burst forth in a mont of brilliance!
He succeeded.
Long Qi briefly beca a blazing sun.
The heat he emitted was so intense that even Gu Shen couldn’t look directly—
Amid the raging flas, Long Qi extended his hand to retrieve a sheet of yellowed paper, waving it towards Gu Shen.
“Swish.”
The yellowed paper emitted a crisp trembling sound, dancing in the wind.
Under Long Qi’s Spiritual Guidance, the paper locked onto Gu Shen, enveloping him in countless dazzling lights.
Gu Shen furrowed his brow.
He felt an unprecedented pull, and in front of him, that sheet of yellowed paper, infused with all of Long Qi’s spirit, seed to transform into a “Black Hole”, bursting forth with endless light yet emitting an irresistible suction.
He almost felt as if he were facing the illusion of a “jade ring”!
Gu Shen stood firm, grunting, enduring the suction force of the ancient paper.
The scene entered a phase of stalemate—
Long Qi grinned.
He sincerely gazed at Gu Shen and spoke his last words in this life.
“May the light be with you…”
As the words fell, those Holy Judges who had sailed south with him, finally reaching the Ice Sea Ruins, began to crack. Their bodies were only frozen by Pure Land frost, not yet threatening their lives.
But Long Qi’s spirit was spreading, starting to plunder the power of the Holy Judges, adding weight to this final contest.
Thus, they all beca sacrifices!
Before Gu Shen could act, these Holy Judges shattered one by one.
They beca part of the “light.”
And this “light” burned on the yellowed paper.
Gu Shen squinted, gazing at the extrely hot snow-white book cave for a long ti.
Then he recognized the yellowed paper: “Is this… the Holy Book?”
Upon uttering the words Holy Book,
The smile on Long Qi’s face froze; his final gaze was one of bewildernt, confusion, and emptiness.
He didn’t understand.
How could the “Ghost Face Man” in front of him recognize the Holy Book?
In his understanding, the existence of the “Holy Book” was the most secret of secrets!
Even in the temple, only a scant few were privileged to know about it!
Five years ago, the Holy Book mission at Sangzhou Cave was abruptly halted due to theft… resulting in no opportunity for it to appear in the public eye!
He wanted to say more, but he had no chance. The burning of his Spirit Sea led to his complete obliteration. The remaining paper, fluttering and locked onto Gu Shen, was absorbing large amounts of Light Spirit, beginning a transformation in faith.
…
…
After recognizing the “Holy Book,” Gu Shen understood the aning behind Long Qi’s last words.
Long Qi knew he had lost.
So Long Qi decided to take a gamble…
Burning all spirit to allow the Holy Book to transform him; if he won the gamble, even if all Holy Judges were wiped out, the temple would ultimately be the victor.
Because his faith would be grafted onto the Light God’s Seat.
Unfortunately, Long Qi lost the gamble.
Countless Holy Light spirits engulfed Gu Shen; after he recognized the Holy Book, he no longer resisted, calmly accepting the baptism of Holy Light.
“Rumble…”
The sound of the howling wind and snow gradually subsided, the light dimd, and the plain returned to silence.
The remnant paper burned away all spirit, slowly descending.
Nothing happened.
The Light Church paid a huge price, Long Qi burned everything, including all of those Holy Judges… the plain was filled with desolate remains, after burning for the light, not even a complete skin was left, these Holy Judges all beca scorching hot ash.
However, Gu Shen originally had no intention of bringing them to Pure Land.
These Holy Judges died but died… died at Long Qi’s hand, sparing Gu Shen from acting.
“Sorry, in a sense, I should count as a firm ‘atheist’…”
Gu Shen looked at Long Qi, who had beco a stone sculpture on the ground, and made a lukewarm joke.
The yellowed Taboo Paper slowly fell to the ground.
Gu Shen crouched down, picked it up, examined it, confird it was no different from the “Holy Book” he had obtained, with the sa obscure ancient text from the [Old World] inscribed on it.
“This conversion faith forbidden item is useless to faith itself.”
He swiftly tucked away the [Holy Book].
The Light City intended to use the Holy Book for large-scale faith harvesting, he had known this five years ago, but didn’t expect that Light City hadn’t given up in these five years.
These remnant papers were more than one.
They should all be called “Holy Book”, and torn individually, they possess the power to convert faith.
Gu Shen rubbed his chin.
If not for Long Qi’s reminder, he’d probably need more ti to recall that within the “Spiritual Black House” of his own Pure Land, there was a poor unfortunate soul and a tattered old paper enduring the endless burning and tornt of Fiery Eyes.
Five years ago.
The shadow of Light City was killed by him, the spirit was also captured into Pure Land.
Gu Shen inquired about the usage of [Holy Book].
At that ti, the shadow was a steadfast Light believer, unwilling to reveal anything even in death…
But he was unfortunate to encounter the Netherworld King.
Death was not possible.
Gu Shen promptly threw the shadow and Holy Book into the Spiritual Black House together, imprisoned for five whole years, to ensure the “shadow” had a quiet solitary environnt, he even specially shielded the surrounding space of the small black house.
Later, due to the Ice Sea fall incident, Gu Shen was half alive and half dead, unable to look after himself.
He had already forgotten about the existence of this confined black house.
But this precisely matched his original intent.
Imprison first, and after a longer imprisonnt, release…
The shadow would spill all its secrets.
