The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2351: Godslaying
Previously on The Quest for Immortality...
Has the Evil God truly awakened?!
Gazing upon those eyes, innocent yet harboring a sinister nature, a profound shock coursed through True Man Situ, threatening to shatter his mental fortitude.
An icy dread enveloped him, chilling him to the bone.
However, as the Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, accustomed to life's many trials, True Man Situ fought to suppress the terrifying emotions. With the last vestiges of clarity in his Divine Thought, he struggled to think.
After a few moments, True Man Situ experienced a sudden realization:
"No, He has not yet awakened!"
"If the Evil God were truly awake, this minor disturbance would be the least of our worries; we would undoubtedly face a far more terrifying killing intent."
"He has not awakened!"
True Man Situ's gaze returned to Yu Er's eyes.
Within those childlike eyes, a sliver of evil could be perceived, yet a definable trace of confusion and innocence persisted, even a hint of goodness.
These were not the eyes of the Evil God.
But... they are perilously close...
True Man Situ could clearly perceive the goodness within Yu Er's eyes slowly dwindling.
Humanity was being extinguished, and malevolence was on the rise.
Innocence and childlike wonder were transforming into cold indifference and cruelty.
It was as if all existence were naught but mere straw dogs, offerings for His consumption, sacrifices to be devoured.
And within Yu Er's Divine Body, a subtle tremor began, as if something were gradually germinating, stirring from its slumber...
"Kill him quickly!"
At that critical juncture, True Man Situ harbored only this single, urgent thought.
If not eliminated now, all would be irrevocably lost.
He raised the Seven Stars Sword, intent on piercing Yu Er's chest without delay.
But in the very next instant, he was struck by a resounding "boom," as if plunged into the depths of a turbulent sea, an overwhelming pressure bearing down from all directions. Looking up, he beheld Yu Er's innocent face now imbued with an awe-inspiring majesty.
A wave of fear, trepidation, and involuntary submission washed over True Man Situ.
He felt utterly insignificant, like a lowly ant, a mere servant incapable of daring to offend a lofty, supreme deity.
True Man Situ felt an almost irresistible urge to "kneel" before Yu Er.
His knees buckled slightly, his body beginning to stoop.
Just then, a flash of light emanated from the Six Yang Red Gold Cup, jolting True Man Situ back to awareness, making him realize his actions. A shiver of dread coursed through his very soul.
Divine authority!
Mortal flesh was compelled to submit to the divine!
This was the Law of divine power!
A profound sense of terror gripped True Man Situ's heart.
Unborn, yet possessing such formidable divine authority; a single gaze was enough to induce utter subservience.
If this entity were to truly descend, unleashing its full divine might, he feared even the notion of "resistance" would be utterly unthinkable.
"He must be killed!"
The concepts of 'all beings as straw dogs' and 'all lives as sacrifices' were not mere platitudes!
True Man Situ pressed a finger to his forehead, establishing a connection with the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, drawing upon the Power of Stars to counteract the divine majesty.
Concurrently, he endeavored to shed his ego, to purge all internal emotions – fear, tension, anxiety – instilling but one unwavering belief in his heart:
Eradicate the Evil God, no matter the cost!
The oppressive aura of divine majesty waned, and the suffocating pressure surrounding him gradually receded.
True Man Situ suppressed the overwhelming urge to "kneel" and the paralyzing fear of "resistance," his hands trembling. Gritting his teeth, he plunged the Seven Stars Sword towards Yu Er.
The Seven-Star Sword Aura advanced to within three inches of Yu Er's chest.
The radiant blue star aura began to menacingly challenge the nascent evil intent.
"Yu Er" contorted into a terrifying visage, emitting an immediate, piercing screech.
The sound was laced with a furious contempt for beings as insignificant as ants, causing True Man Situ's Blood Qi to surge, his head to throb, and his Primordial Spirit to feel as though it were on the verge of being "torn asunder."
Yet, he endured it all, desperately striving to drive the sword deeper.
"Yu Er's" screech intensified, becoming sharper and more brutal.
This unearthly cry seemed imbued with blade-like Telekinesis, akin to a swirling tempest, lashing at True Man Situ and raking his body with unseen wounds.
True Man Situ felt himself caught in a fierce storm of Divine Thought, struggling to maintain his balance.
He yearned to persevere, gritting his teeth against the pain, believing that perhaps just one more inch, and the sword might pierce the "Evil Embryo's" chest.
The light of the Seven Stars would cleanse wickedness and dispel all converging dangers.
But in the subsequent moment, True Man Situ heard a distinct "creak" sound near his ear.
First one, then more followed in rapid succession.
True Man Situ instantly grasped the horrifying implication.
Fetal Demon Eggs!
It was the sound of countless Fetal Demon Eggs scattered around him cracking open.
The yet unborn Evil God seemed to sense the impending danger, hence let out a sharp screech, forcibly commanding his Demon Monster "descendants" to break the eggs prematurely to protect him, the Divine Lord.
Soon, the Fetal Demon Eggs began to crack one after another, black blood water flowed all over the ground, and each Demon Monster emerged entwined with dark qi, carrying an unknown power of "corruption," born from decay, slowly standing up.
Even the three massive Fetal Demon Eggs beside the Evil God began to tremble, their surfaces developing cracks.
Like the red-pink Fetal Demon, the Fetal Demons possessing a part of the Evil God’s power of Law were about to hatch.
They were supposed to descend together with the Evil God, becoming His "trusted aides."
But now, sensing the edge of the Seven Stars Formations, the Evil God had to prematurely break the eggs and summon these "trusted aides."
As the Demon Eggs broke open one by one, waves of corrupt Evil Qi spread out, densely packed Demon Monsters started to emerge...
True Man Situ’s heart trembled and immediately addressed the crowd:
"Exert all strength, assist me in assassinating the Evil God!"
The ancestor of the Spirit Talisman Sect first abandoned the ancestor of the Xiao family and instead used the Soul Suppressing Talisman to suppress Yu Er, who was the Evil Embryo, alleviating True Man Situ’s pressure.
