God of Pets Chapter 1003: Demon Child Destroys the World
Previously on God of Pets...
Under the blessing of the universe, Emperor Ancestor could only temporarily stop Chen Guan from devouring the universe.
Because the power he used to thwart the Secret Realm of One would also be absorbed by it, it just slowed the devouring under the pull of power.
Chen Guan's Life Art, combined with the Secret Realm of One, had already become a force independent of the universe, not needing to rely on its rules, instead able to devour universal energy.
Even more terrifyingly, the constantly absorbing universe energy of the Secret Realm of One also supplied Chen Guan, allowing him to use his abilities unbridled, without fearing energy depletion.
Because the energy he used never returned to the original universe, but was drawn back into the Secret Realm of One.
Now Chen Guan's energy level had already broken through the heavens, even Emperor Ancestor, the ruler of the universe, found it difficult to suppress him.
"Chen Guan... are you still you..." Bai Xiuyan, dressed in white as snow, his soul power rising like an unsheathed spirit, with a pure spirit body in sword control, came before Chen Guan, who looked like a sky-shrouding Demon God.
"I have always been me." Chen Guan calmly replied.
"No, you are not Chen Guan, at least not the Chen Guan I knew, the Chen Guan I knew was a great hero with noble spirit and magnanimity." Bai Xiuyan pointed his sword at Chen Guan, saying, "Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Like Bai Xiuyan, many people couldn't believe that this being, akin to an apocalyptic Demon God, was truly Chen Guan.
Chen Guan looked at Bai Xiuyan, smiling gently and said, "I understand what you mean, but sorry, I am me, not anyone else, my soul is untainted, nor possessed, this is truly me."
"Then what do you count as before?" Bai Xiuyan insisted on asking.
Chen Guan sighed lightly and said, "You should understand, I am the son of the Great Demon, if I didn't act that way, how would the world let me go?"
"No, that's impossible, the bits and pieces of you being with us, can't be faked." Qin Ziyu still didn't believe it.
"To deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. If even I can deceive myself, who else can't I deceive? Not to mention you, even if the Ghost Daoist calculated I'm a Demon Child, he also wouldn't believe I would really become a Demon Child." Chen Guan said indifferently, "But sorry, I was born a Demon Child, I have no choice but to continuously grow stronger, until becoming the strongest existence."
"You are already the strongest, you don't need to continue on." Xiu Yingmei shouted loudly.
"No, it's still not enough, beyond the heavens there are still heavens, outside this universe, there are unknown worlds, and beings far stronger than I can understand. As long as there are people stronger than me, I cannot stop, I must keep growing stronger, until there's nothing more worth looking up to..."
"Since there are heavens beyond heavens, how do you know there's not another sky beyond the sky outside? It is a never-ending pursuit, with no end... Chen Guan... turn back..." Duan Shulin spat blood as he spoke.
Chen Guan shook his head, saying, "If there are heavens beyond heavens, then I'll fight my way through Nine Heavens, Hundred Heavens, Thousand Heavens, if this life cannot be invincible, then I'll fight until the end of time with no one left to oppose. As long as there's a path, my steps will not stop, and I won't turn back."
"But at such a cost, you'll lose all your friends and family, only left alone, even if you achieve invincibility and immortality, what's the point?" Duan Shulin bitterly advised.
"Only the weak imagine the loneliness of standing at the peak because they lack the ability to reach it. Like the poor can't believe how delightful wealth is, only seeing the troubles of the rich, that's just because they will never be rich themselves, a self-comforting delusion."
Chen Guan looked coldly at everyone, saying, "If you had the opportunity like mine, you would also want to continue, no one is an exception."
Duan Shulin, hearing Chen Guan's words, was left speechless, feeling a chill of despair.
He thought he understood Chen Guan, but now he realized he never truly did.
And he wasn't alone in such thoughts, a burning rage kindled in Xiu Jie Ming's heart.
His body, already full of cracks, once again radiated a brilliant light, like a godly being emanating divinity.
Countless Primordial Energies poured into his body, repairing the cracks at visible speed.
Xiu Jie Ming's Returning to the True Self had entered the fifth stage.
He walked step by step towards Chen Guan, with a body full of divinity, breaking space as he went, turning it into energy pouring into him.
"Chen Guan... this world... is definitely not as you think... someone like you... is unworthy of living in this world..." Xiu Jie Ming punched, with an unparalleled body, piercing through time, as if to punch the universe into dust.
"You are not the only one who can return to the true self." Chen Guan said indifferently, as his sky-shrouding body also emanated unparalleled divinity.
With just one finger pressing down, his finger shattered layers of void, pressing onto Xiu Jie Ming's divine body.
Also in the fifth stage of returning to the true self, Xiu Jie Ming was directly pressed into the shattered void, directly sent into the abyss, without any chance to fight back.
"Big Brother! Chen Guan... you bastard..." Xiu Yingmei angrily unsheathed her sword towards Chen Guan, her entire being like an angry Asura, burning with golden flames, her Sword Energy turning into a Golden Blade, splitting heaven and earth.
"Chen Guan... wake up for me..." Duan Shulin transformed into a galaxy, with fist power as eternal as stars in the void, coming from distant time and space, penetrating towards the endless future.
Chen Guan's hand formed a blade stance, slashing out Sword Energy like a Golden Blade, while punching through the river of time.
Xiu Yingmei's Golden Blade shattered in an instant, Duan Shulin's time-spanning fist power was also blasted by Chen Guan.
The same techniques, the same abilities, they were helpless before Chen Guan.
Bai Xiuyan's spirit transformed into a billion Soul Swords, raining like stars towards Chen Guan's sky-shrouding body.
While resisting Emperor Ancestor, Chen Guan's Heroic Spirit Unsheathed glow alone shattered the billion Soul Swords.
Ji Liuying used her body to manipulate fate, attempting to sever Chen Guan's destiny.
Yet with just a word from Chen Guan, Ji Liuying's fate was shattered.
One by one, geniuses unrivaled through the ages, before Chen Guan, like fireflies competing with the bright moon, were defeated utterly, unable to stop him from doing anything.
"Brother Guan... I know this is not your true intention... you have your reasons... I believe there's a rationale for your actions..." Little Qinghua came before Chen Guan, tearfully saying, "I know you must be in great pain, tell me what happened, no matter what, I'll stand with you... even unto death..."
Everyone else no longer believed in Chen Guan, yet Little Qinghua had never wavered, even now, she still steadfastly believed in him.
Looking at Little Qinghua gazing up at him, Chen Guan withdrew his gaze from the void, a malicious smile upon his lips: "Then go to your death."
Chen Guan's hand formed the Buddha's flower-pinching gesture, and with a light flick, Little Qinghua's body suddenly exploded, vanishing into nothingness.
