Chapter 446 The Shattered Moon
"In that case, we will not say any more."
After a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed softly.
Now seems like the time to really dwell on this; the battlefield on the moon is clearly more important than this one.
"Do your best, but remember to take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I know the severity."
Upon hearing this, the two Heavenly Venerables, Yuanshi and Daode, said no more. With a surge of spiritual energy, their figures vanished.
After the two of them left, Lingbao Tianzun calmly sat down next to An Qingyu and took out a pot of strong liquor from his robes.
"have a drink?"
"Now doesn't seem like the time to talk about this..."
"Don't take it personally, I'm just trying to bribe you. Since you repaired the source of the Kryptonian system, you must know about its hidden weaknesses."
"Am I right, Deputy Captain An?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in An Qingyu's gray eyes.
Did He send those two celestial beings away in order to appeal to my emotions?
"Ah........"
"If I told you, would you believe me?"
“I am a traitor to the Great Xia.”
An Qingyu chuckled self-deprecatingly and casually accepted the wine pot handed to her by Lingbao Tianzun.
"As long as you say it, I will believe it."
As soon as His voice fell, An Qingyu's hand, which was turning the stopper, suddenly froze.
"The weakness lies at the roots of the World Tree."
Saucy!
A gentle breeze ruffled the boy's bangs. He raised the wine jug in his hand and took a big gulp, then his face fell as he continued.
"During the time I was dissecting the World Tree, I discovered that the origin of the Olympian kingdom was transformed through this tree and finally converged into the sacred mountain."
Although I planted the seed of evil within the World Tree, I did not instill it into the sacred mountain.
"It can be said that the original divine kingdom of Olympus was still pure."
"As long as this tree is cut down, the so-called prototype of the Khrushchev God Kingdom will cease to exist."
Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun nodded knowingly.
But He still didn't take any action, he just accompanied An Qingyu as she drank wine, sip by sip.
"We can't win..."
"At least for now... we can't win..."
After a moment of silence, An Qingyu gently placed the wine pot beside her and spoke with a sense of relief.
"Chaos is dead, but the Kreece gods still have an even more terrifying Key to the Gate that hasn't made a move yet."
"Before this all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful God, I see not a shred of hope..."
"So?" Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun put down the wine pot in his hand, looked at the withered branches of the World Tree, and asked softly.
"So that's why you'd rather bear the infamy than not align yourself with the God of K's forces in search of that elusive hope?"
Upon hearing this, An Qingyu shuddered, her eyes vacant, and she replied in a hoarse voice.
"Only 'Truth' can save us, and as the host of the [Key to the Gate], I am the one closest to 'Truth'..."
"If I don't step forward..."
“Actually, we have more options.” Before An Qingyu could finish speaking, Lingbao Tianzun stood up and interrupted her.
"Don't rush to refute me, because... I'll prove it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from beneath Lingbao Tianzun's feet, causing his Chaos Daoist robe to flutter without wind.
He raised his right hand, and with a light tap of his fingertips, a Bagua diagram that almost covered the entire summit of Mount Olympus suddenly appeared.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, the universe is reversed, so be it... Array, activate!"
Lingbao Tianzun made a hand seal with one hand, and the Hunyuan Wuji Cave beneath his feet began to spin wildly.
And the withered World Tree, which stood at the very center of the Bagua formation, rose from the ground under the influence of this surging spiritual power.
"Wow—!"
"Roar--!"
Unwilling and mournful howls echoed throughout the divine realm. Lingbao Tianzun remained solemn, completely ignoring the restraining divine power erupting from the World Tree, and continued to maintain the flow of the Bagua formation.
"It's just an evil thought that hasn't even taken form yet, how dare it swagger in front of me!"
He snorted coldly, waved his left hand, and a jade ruyi scepter emitting a grayish-white light crashed straight into the surging scarlet light.
"Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law, and destroys!"
Cluster!
The instant His voice fell, an orange-yellow flame rose from the 'Li' position of the Bagua diagram.
Immediately afterwards, the array diagram shifted, and orange-yellow divine fire soared upwards along the trunk of the World Tree.
Under the terrifyingly high temperature.
Crimson blood gradually seeped from the gaps in the tree trunk... and evaporated...
In less than three minutes, the entire divine realm was shrouded in a grayish-brown mist.
The air was thick with the nauseating stench of blood.
"Great Xia...you actually dared to burn my very essence..."
"You will pay a terrible price for this!..."
At the same time, all the Black Goat cubs guarding the entrance to the Olympian realm were awakened.
However, when they rushed back to the summit of the sacred mountain, the World Tree branch containing the origin of the Khrushchev Divine Kingdom was almost burned to ashes by the Nanming Fire summoned by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.
They roared and charged furiously at Lingbao Tianzun, who had committed heinous crimes.
They vowed to keep the instigator in the divine realm forever.
"hehe......."
"I am not seriously injured today..."
"Just a bunch of worthless brats..."
"Let me, the Venerable One, deliver you all from suffering!"
"Primordial Chaos... All Things Disarm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black goat cubs that were rushing towards Lingbao Tianzun suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the Southern Bright Fire attached to the trunk of the World Tree swept out, and soon, a fiery cage about a hundred miles wide and towering into the clouds surrounded the Black Goat cubs!
"grumble--!"
"Roar--!"
After doing all this, Lingbao Tianzun lowered his hands, flew back to An Qingyu's side, and gently patted his shoulder.
"Deputy Captain An, thank you..."
"I'm going to the moon, so I'm leaving this place to you."
Leave it to me?
An Qingyu watched the gradually fading figure of Lingbao Tianzun with a complicated expression, a thousand words unspoken in her heart.
"I can't do anything, but I can also... do nothing!"
With this thought in mind, the gray light in An Qingyu's eyes faded, and she lay down on her own.
Just then, a mysterious light flashed across the sky above the realm of Olympus.
Immediately afterwards, a malevolent thought surged forth from ancient times, traversing the river of time.
Upon hearing that devilish whisper, An Qingyu gave a self-deprecating laugh and spread her hands, saying...
"betray?"
“I did not betray Him. That is the Supreme Being. How could I possibly stop Him…”
That's right...
This idea originates from the [Key to the Gate], which truly existed in ancient times.
There is only one reason why He would go to such great lengths to break the shackles of time and warn An Qingyu.
That means the situation is now out of His control!
To be fair, Lingbao Tianzun's unintentional emotional appeal did indeed influence the final outcome.
"The destruction of my source was not my intention, so... if you still want me to do things for you, you'd better pretend nothing ever happened..."
"You must understand... the origin can be repaired, but you only have this one host body left in this spacetime..."
joke!
Anyone can make threats!
I'd bet my life on it, do you?!
After a moment, having received no response, An Qingyu spat lightly and walked to the side, coldly watching the giant fire cage that was about to close.
That's all...
Since things have spiraled out of control, let's just do things haphazardly.
At worst, I'll just go see the King of Hell with the last piece!
........
In the boundless deep space.
A brilliant golden sword beam burst forth from beneath the lunar crater.
Ding--!
Although the sword light contained immense power, upon closer inspection, it was almost completely depleted.
Like the ephemeral beauty of the night-blooming cereus, brief yet dazzling...
And at the very instant that the golden sword light completely dissipated.
A crimson hue spread rapidly from the crater, and in no time the entire moon was stained blood red.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying and insane aura descended!
The Black Goat stood on the moon's surface, watching the withered corpses floating in the void with a mocking expression, and licked its lips with a hint of regret.
"As expected of the strongest existing force on Earth... dealing with them is indeed quite a challenge."
"It's a pity... Without the [Mortal Divine Realm], your power will always have a flaw..."
"Heaven has fallen, Michael is dead... Now no one can stop the return of the Cthulhu pantheon..."
"Who said there isn't?" Just as the Black Goat was about to crush the moon seal to pieces, an old and murderous voice entered its mind.
"Who?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a magnificent palace, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, suddenly appeared in the sky above the moon.
Immediately afterwards, two elderly figures dressed in Taoist robes slowly solidified in front of the Black Goat.
"Long time no see... [Black Goat]..."
"It really has been a long time. Aren't you all busy dealing with matters on Olympus? How come you have time to visit the moon?"
"Oh...you must have seen Michael and I fighting, and were afraid we'd escape, so you rushed over here, right..."
Seeing the two Heavenly Venerables, Yuanshi and Daode, leading the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Heavenly Court itself to meet the challenge, [Black Goat] was somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, it made perfect sense.
Looking across the entire planet Earth, it seems that only this troublesome Great Xia can rival the Cthulhu pantheon...
However... you're still too late...
Pulling himself back to reality, [Black Goat] gave a wicked smile.
He casually fiddled with Michael's corpse, which was floating in the void.
"Unfortunately, this poor servant was killed by me shortly before you arrived..."
"In other words... there is no one in this world who can repair the seal left by the Holy Lord..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty changed drastically.
If no one can repair the seal, then that means...
The countdown has begun for the Cthulhu pantheon to escape from its clutches and wreak havoc across the world!
thump--!
thump--!
Just as the gods of the Great Xia were stunned, a strange tremor suddenly emanated from the crimson-stained moon.
Immediately afterwards, from the crack in the very center of the ring mountain range, an enormous eye opened from the darkness, its eerie blood-red pupil trembling in the void. After a moment, its captivating gaze finally settled on the magnificent celestial palace standing behind the Great Xia God.
boom! !
With a deafening roar, a sharp claw broke free of the abyss's restraints and landed steadily on the lunar surface.
A wolf's head then emerged, letting out a resentful roar into the endless void.
At the same time, the head of a worm the size of a mountain pushed aside the wolf's head and began to wriggle frantically outwards...
Such images appeared almost simultaneously in all directions on the lunar surface.
"Your Majesty, what should we do!"
Seeing that more than one of the gods of the Kelvin had successfully escaped, the Supreme Lord of Morality asked anxiously.
"What else can we do..."
"All gods of the Great Xia, heed my command!"
"exist!"
"Face the gods of the Kel'thas head-on!"
"By the Heavenly Lord's decree!!"
At the command of the Primordial Celestial Lord, hundreds of streams of light burst forth from the magnificent celestial palace. Some of them blocked the four or five Khrushchev gods who had already escaped, while most of the other gods rushed to the moon, trying to see if they could kill the Khrushchev gods who were about to escape within the lunar seal.
In an instant, the dazzling divine light and the raging giant shadow collided violently in deep space.
Although the Great Xia Gods had mobilized their entire forces, the combat power of the Kexi Gods far exceeded that of the Great Xia Gods.
Even if seven or eight Great Xia Gods at the main god level joined forces, they might not be able to completely annihilate a single escaped Khrushchev God.
"This can't go on!!"
Seeing that the Great Xia God's attack was thwarted, the Moral Celestial Venerable frowned and controlled the peach wood sword to cut through the blockade imposed by the Khrushchev God.
"There are at least thirty more gods of the main god level within the Moon Seal, plus the Black Goat, one of the three pillar gods. They can wear us down!"
"What can we do then? Michael is gone, who can re-secure the moon seal?"
“Stabilizing the seal is not the solution. Now we only have two paths before us: kill them all, or be killed by them.”
At this point, a ruthless look appeared on the face of the Celestial Venerable.
"I haven't lived enough yet..."
"so........"
Before He could finish speaking, a stream of chaotic light surged from the Blue Star. Immediately afterward, the calm yet murderous voice of Lingbao Tianzun resounded in the minds of Yuanshi and Daode Tianzun.
"The only option is to kill all these beasts!!"
