The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1338: Path 510: All Gods Reflection_2

"Now that I have regained my divine status, why did you have to be the first one to rush down? Couldn’t you send someone else as your representative? I’m truly sick of that wretched face of yours!"

"Sarus!"

The mythical form of the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign was hazy and indistinct.

Yet, beneath him hovered an iceberg, and in his hand, he captured the Thunder Sea; his voice of anger was loud and clear:

"You dared to use the forbidden technique of All Gods Reflection, blatantly disrupting the order of the Heavenly Dao!"

"The ancient times failed to eliminate you, a regret for all eternity!"

"Heavenly mandate, what are you waiting for? Descend at once!"

"Such an extremely evil god of this world should be suppressed by the Twelve Star Pillars, refined for a Cosmic Era, I do not believe he could resurrect from death!"

"Crack, crack, crack——"

The firmament cracked for the third time.

Twelve towering pillars, like giant beasts, slowly descended.

Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn.

The "Twelve Constellations," familiar to every household in the mortal world, unexpectedly appeared as real patterns, branded on the bodies of different pillars.

When they glowed simultaneously, the pillars burst apart for a moment and the patterns on the pillars came to life.

There was the ’Divine Shooter King’ clad in golden armor, holding a longbow;

There was the ’Lion King’ who trampled the earth and was unstoppable;

There was the ’Heavenly Scorpion King’ cold and lying in wait, seizing the chance to stealthily attack;

There was the ’Golden Bull King’ with a fierce blaze, whose fury was uncontainable;

...

Twelve kinds of miraculous beasts surrounded the Fallen Eye in an instant, leaving no path of escape from earth to heaven.

"Sarus, I have been searching for you for many years, why continue to struggle?"

"This world never needed an evil god. If you were to take the position of the Heavenly Dao, all living beings would suffer miserably, how could the the basis for the survival of all heavens and ten thousand races exist?"

The Heavenly Punishment Sovereign dove from the top of the firmament into the sea of blood, and vaguely, Ye Hanjun saw a seven-colored elk.

Its antlers emitted electrical light, and its hooves were covered with frost.

One was the rage of the Heavenly Gods, boundless in power, the other was the calm of the Earth Gods, silencing all sounds.

"Hiss!"

The eyes of Sarus were finally pierced through by lightning and ice.

From the wound flowed deep black, Fallen Blood, which the eternal frost could not freeze, nor could the thunder of destruction evaporate.

But the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign did not retreat; the power of the Ancient Glacial River released from his hooves was about to freeze the entire sea of blood.

The raging thunder transformed into the shape of chains, piercing through the eyeball, attempting to trap Sarus right there.

Unknown to him, Sarus was utterly indifferent to the pain.

He bared his fangs, stuck out his fanged tongue, licked the wounds, and cackled with derision:

"The descent of Three Sovereigns, I am quite satisfied with my status."

"However, my ’colleagues’, have you forgotten something?"

"When I was besieged to death by you, I swore that if I could resurrect, I would overturn the Heavenly Dao at any cost."

"I will lead the living to death, I will make evil eternal."

"I will have the blue sky hang beneath Kun Ling, I will have mountains bow down before ants, I want all heavens in chaos, I want the common people in misery, I want order imbalance, I want despair and wailing to fill every corner of the world..."

"For Myriad Spirits, I will attack the firmament!"

"Then—for the firmament, I will slaughter the Myriad Spirits!"

"I have been awakened to this realization a long time ago, do you really think you can stop me?!"

Sarus burst into laughter, and the sea of blood shook violently.

As the bloody waters churned, two massive entities stepped out one after another from the steps made of bones.

Ye Hanjun, Ye Chengfeng—their pupils sharply constricted.

The Time Drum was also stunned, the mists of time swirled around everywhere, and the chaos in their hearts could not be hidden.

"Hahahaha, I have endured for two Cosmic Eras, finally daring to catch a breath!"

"Heavenly Punishment, you old hag, I should have crushed your skull back then and let the seat of Heavenly Venerate change its divine selection!"

"And you, Divine Punishment!"

"Don’t think I’m unaware that you colluded to kill the true heir of the Soldier Path. The Time Drum spared you three times, yet you repaid kindness with enmity, possessing only the semblance of a Kind God, fundamentally what difference do you have from us three Evils? Today I must smash you to pieces and see whether your heart is red or black!"

A prehistoric beast resembling a crocodile turtle arches its body, shaking its head vehemently.

With each step it took, its body swelled, doubling in size.

From initially the size of a human palm to finally a monstrous turtle of unprecedented scale, tens of kilometers in diameter, it emerged before everyone with an absolutely ferocious expression.

"Ancient Strongest Desolate God... this fellow..."

The Time Drum took a sharp breath, and its mood reached a climax:

"In the ancient times, he had no chance of becoming a Divine Venerate..."

"No matter how he managed to resurrect from death, in the Second Epoch of the New Era, he ascended to the realm of Divine Venerate, on par with Sarus?"

"Who is that then?"

Ye Chengfeng, with a slight twitch in the corner of his eyes, pointed at another flickering beastly shadow, full of dread:

"I heard that in the Ancient Cosmos, there was a Calamity God known as ’Doomsday Cube’, could it be this form?"

"Doomsday Cube?"

Ye Hanjun immediately shifted his gaze from the Ancient Desolate God · Desolate Devourer.

After focusing on the target, a cube shrouded in deep black mist, marked with the character "death" on all six faces but of varying colors, spun continuously without a sign of stopping.

"Death marked on all six faces... the Calamity God ’Doomsday Cube’ mentioned in legends, indeed this is its appearance..."

"It can’t be... Sarus didn’t seek Bai E’s help, but found the Doomsday Cube to aid him to ascend as a God above God? Was the origin of the disaster system snatched by the Doomsday Cube?"

Ye Hanjun felt as if struck by a hammer, his mind buzzing, unable to believe the scene before him.

On his side, they were still meticulously planning how to gather three potential Divine Venerates...

Sarus, on the other hand, had already assembled them – the Ancient Evil God, the Ancient Desolate God, the Ancient Calamity God, Three Evil Gods, successfully executing all the steps, directly challenging the Heavenly Dao???

"Hahaha, could you ever imagine this?"

"I could forgive Huang Shi, being an old friend, it took me a lot of effort to wake him from his desolate grave."

"In order to help him achieve the position of a Two-Seal Divine Venerate, I had the current Desolate God go out hunting, and when they returned, I had them all killed, all used to refuel the ancestral being for a smooth ascent."

"As for the Doomsday Cube... Ahhaha, this I have to thank Bai E for."

"Oh, Bai E, I do not know where you are now, or in what state you are."

"But your human allies are undoubtedly too late, blame yourself, choosing the wrong direction, naturally leads to a complete loss."

In Sarus’s pupils, one could see retaliation, utterly ruthless.

Receiving such visions, Ye Hanjun suddenly noticed that an inch below his left clavicle, a pale imitation of a crow mark, was scorching hot.

With a thought, he immediately activated the Summoning Array.

"Whoosh!"

This time, instead of Mo, a mini three-eyed white crow emerged.

Its two eyes were tightly closed, with only the third eye on its forehead fully split open; the blood radiance boiling inside, its ferocity struck awe into the soul:

"Sarus has gone mad..."

"With the Three Evil Gods striking at the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao is in peril; the twilight of the gods is about to come..."

"..."

At this moment, seas of blood masked the sky, and ghostly shadows were all around, a chilly killing intent enveloped the nine heavens and ten earths.

The Heavenly Punishment Sovereign, his face contorted to the extreme, despite taking deep breaths, trembled slightly at the sight of those three evil gods.

The merciless Divine Punishment Spear, its coherent spear intent, suddenly froze in the void, as if seized by an invisible hand, no longer daring to recklessly surge forth.

"Boom!!"

The fourth divine light descended from heaven.

It was a Beastman, crowned with the name of Heavenly Fury, likewise brutal.

With a stomp, he aimed to crush the back of the Ancient Desolate God, vowing to smash the rugged stone-like turtle back into pieces.

"Hahaha, the last one has also arrived!"

"Heavenly Fury, I admire your courage, knowing that the Three Evil Gods are present, you still dared to descend!"

"Now let’s see, whether you esteemed ancient victors still shine, or are we the ruffians lurking in the corners the stronger ones!"
