Chapter 679: Chapter 186: Deicide (Update 4)
“Do not look directly at the sun.”
This was a lesson that Gu Changzhi received a long ti ago, before he had lted the Battle Fire.
The one who gave him this lesson was none other than the “Light God’s Seat” in West Continent Light City.
He was also Gu Changzhi’s ntor.
Before Gu Changzhi took charge of the fire, when people ntioned the “sun,” they often thought of that existence in Light City, for he was scorching, vast, and not to be looked at directly.
Until a younger, purer person appeared.
He was more dazzling than the sun.
The sun that covered the entire Five Continents selflessly gifted light to every person.
But this gift of light had a ti limit; the sun sets, the moon rises, stars shift.
No one could stop this law.
If you wanted greedily to keep the light, to look directly at the sun in the sky… then you would gain more, and also lose more.
Chasing excessive light would burn a person blind.
Those who looked directly at the sun would self-immolate.
At this mont, the Wine God’s moon-white robe spontaneously ignited in flas, flas that could burn even the soul, with not only the fierce battle will of the Battle Fire but also the righteous bright heat.
The Wine God covered his face in pain, hot Divine Blood kept seeping and flowing from between his fingers.
He had looked directly at the “sun.”
And then… lost his light.
Excruciating pain surged like tides, the Wine God trembled, releasing his hands, his eyes that had once been filled with purple brilliance now burnt to re hollow sockets, empty… thin, scarlet blood flowed out, sizzling as it dripped along his cheeks, turning into wisps of bloody smoke as it fell.
Gu Changzhi released his hands, stepping back calmly by two steps.
The Wine God staggered, stabilizing his body. He tried to “open his eyes” wide, but he could not see anything.
Complete darkness.
A year ago, he had willingly closed his eyes, choosing to be blind.
And now.
He had been stripped of “sight,” forced to beco blind.
Spirit purple sea, angry waves surged.
He tried releasing his spiritual power… losing sight was not terrifying.
The terrifying thing was… what his spiritual power scanned, entering his mind, was still complete darkness, total chaos.
It seed he had lost the ability to “see” forever.
Not just physically… but also spiritually.
“Why… why…”
The Wine God trembled, touching his cheeks, raising his head in utter darkness, feeling incredibly cold… colder than the Great Cold Disaster Realm that engulfed everything.
The boy’s incomparably handso face was covered in blood. He raised his head blankly and laughed bitterly, “Is it because my Fire is weaker than yours?”
Gu Changzhi looked at him calmly.
He shook his head.
Then realized… the Wine God could not see at this mont.
So Gu Changzhi slowly said, “Of course not… Fire does not rank high or low, your Fire has never been weak.”
“It’s just that you are weaker than , much weaker.”
Compared to Gu Changzhi, Di Jiu was far behind in terms of Fire mastery, personal aptitude, strength of battle will, and the “Heart of Path Seeking” crucial to Extraordinary Cultivation.
Far too behind.
The Wine God’s face turned pale, looking lost.
He indeed knew he was far from Gu Changzhi’s match. In terms of combat ability, who in the world could compare to this Battle God Throne before him?
He just did not expect.
The gap to be this vast.
“The Federation Governnt has no laws to deal with the highest seats,” Gu Changzhi said softly, “but you can choose dignity.”
The highest seats themselves made the rules.
Controlling the Fire was the Federation Governnt’s greatest trust in them… restraining them was impossible.
Usually, if ordinary rules were broken, the Federation Governnt would let it go.
But, the Wine God entered East Continent, stirring a wave of rebellion.
It severely violated the unspoken rules among the highest seats!
Once a seat triggered war, the Five Continents would be engulfed in flas.
This was an untouchable iron law!
“What… do you an…”
The Wine God’s face grew paler, an ominous foreboding intensifying in his heart.
“Although you look like just a child.”
Gu Changzhi said, “You have lived long enough, it’s ti to say goodbye to this world.”
Say goodbye to this world?
This… ant he was to be killed!
The Wine God shrieked, using all his Fire’s power, the sky-covering, day-blocking roaring purple sea crashed towards Gu Changzhi.
Even mortals, when faced with life-or-death crises, would burst out with several tis, ten tis the power.
Gods even more so!
He exhausted his Fire, the entire purple sea poured down, the Wine God fled without looking back…
A battle between Thrones, deciding a victor was extrely difficult!
He did not believe Gu Changzhi could kill him here!
The purple sea roared, tearing the skytop, crashing down on one person.
Gu Changzhi squinted, the glow of his Battle Fire re-erged behind him, a great sun emitted endless blazing brightness, the cascading Golden Divine Domain enveloping the entire purple sea.
This was a divine war that tested the power of fire seeds!
The Battle Fire… how could it fear anything?
紫海垂落!
The Purple Sea fell!
大日高悬!
The Great Sun hung high!
Gu Changzhi raised his hands, and the endless Purple Sea, drawn by the radiance of the Great Sun, converged into a whirlwind that swirled rapidly in his palms. Under the blazing light of the Battle Fire, the Purple Sea condensed in just a few breaths, shrinking to a spot before his chest.
It was as if a blob of clay was thrown into a bronze furnace.
The Great Sun roared—
Burn the Sea!
The God of Wine, fleeing swiftly, looked pained. He nearly fell from the Skytop, for the scorching of the Golden Divine Domain not only acted upon his Purple Sea but also burned his very soul!
“Ah…”
He clutched his forehead in unbearable pain.
At this mont, where was his desire to continue the battle with Gu Changzhi?
He had already accepted his utterly crushing defeat. Now he only wished to escape East Continent and return to the Source Tower!
Under the burning of the Battle Fire, the Purple Sea evaporated at a fast pace!
The God of Wine made a mad move… the entire vast spirit he had cultivated for decades, he abandoned it all!
With just a thought, he ignited it!
Gecko tail cutting, a ans of survival.
But this ti, he severed half of his own body!
With a “boom”!
A terrifying sonic wave exploded over the cetery.
Within the pillar of light, the sound of the Purple Spiritual Explosion was deafening. The God of Wine detonated his entire Purple Sea, and even with Gu Changzhi’s suppression, the power of this spirit sea was still too violent…
Outside the cetery, a gust of wind swept through.
Everyone was horrified.
The spiritual wave ca too quickly, in an instant, it carried a breath of death, almost surging out of Qingzhong!
Gu Changzhi’s expression was grim.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
The extinguished array patterns of the Qingzhong Formation ignited at this mont, beams of golden light erupted, forming a solid Light Fortress around the cetery’s edge.
The next mont, the exploded Purple Sea crashed against this indestructible fortress, the turbulent waters madly impacting the barrier. It was a clash between the Wine Spark and the Battle Fire… in the erosion of water and fire, the light of the array patterns dimd quickly, but ultimately, they withstood the exploding tide of the spirit sea.
Gu Changzhi clenched his fists and in the next instant, appeared behind the God of Wine.
He punched down!
The God of Wine’s body was directly shattered, the youth spat a mouthful of blood, and his moon-white robes on his back were scorched by the scorching light fire, revealing porcelain-like pale skin. This skin was as smooth as jade, having transcended the cultivation levels attainable by ordinary mortals.
Weapons made of common Strong Logic Material could not leave a mark, only using bullets of “Bengxue” caliber in a surprise attack might cause so damage.
But… just one punch!
A web of cracks spread across the youth’s back!
Then ca the second punch…
The blind God of Wine turned to resist with his hands. In a life-and-death mont, he tried to use his body to counter the close combat of the Battle Fire… but as he struck, he suddenly rembered a fight he witnessed in the Old World.
The terrifyingly powerful Netherworld King had died under Gu Changzhi’s hand-to-hand combat.
With a hum, a punch landed!
Gu Changzhi’s punch made his ears buzz.
All the sounds of the world turned into a single long line.
Blood splashed across the sky.
The God of Wine was blasted back thousands of ters, his back hitting hard against the towering Light Fortress… none of this pain mattered, as he turned to flee.
For so reason, he felt a shadowy presence all around.
The blind God of Wine didn’t know that a black cloud had enveloped him.
He paused slightly in his turning motion.
The Grand Success Realm of Reverse Flow couldn’t truly affect a God’s Domain… even if this God was half-dead, exhausted, and nearly out of power.
But, hindrance for a mont was possible.
So in the instant of the God of Wine’s pause.
A young figure burst out from the black clouds, wielding a sharp iron ax taken from the Tundra Tomb, which now transford into a heavy iron ax trailing behind him.
Compared to the speed of a God, Gu Shen’s charge was not fast, but under the remote blessing of the Netherworld King’s Spark in the cetery, he was wrapped in the intent of Silent Annihilation.
The cornered God of Wine, feeling the familiar aura of the Netherworld King, gave up struggling entirely.
At this mont, the God of Wine smiled bitterly.
He recalled everything experienced in the cetery…
Everything stemd from his peering into the fog of the Old World years ago.
Now, he had seen through the true fog.
Deception.
It was all deception.
What he saw in the Old World was fake, the Netherworld King never died.
He and Gu Changzhi set this trap, waiting for him to enter the tomb!
With a “slash”, Gu Shen’s ax fell, directly severing the head of the youthful God of Wine.
In the next instant, Gu Changzhi instantaneously arrived and caught the still living head, deprived of sight, hearing, and all six senses.
A punch.
It exploded.
