The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2353: "Godslayer" (3)

A cry of sheer dread, paired with the sight of the fiend’s grotesquely warped visage, struck profound terror into the hearts of all present.

Mercifully, the female True Man, clad in white, drew a ragged breath and, with the last vestiges of her Divine Thought, managed to activate the Three Pure Ones Bell once more.

The Bell of Three Pure Ones, a treasure of unparalleled might, demands a heavy toll on one’s Divine Thought with each use.

Having already summoned this supreme artifact multiple times to avert dire straits, the white-robed True Man found her Divine Thought depleted and her Primordial Spirit strained.

Yet, gritting her teeth against the pain, she triggered the sound of "Clearing Evil" in this critical juncture.

The pure resonance of the bell wave pushed back the encroaching fear and countered the shrieks of the human-faced spider demon.

Swiftly, the Taoist unleashed his Peach Wood Sword, driving it with all his might towards the monstrous spider. Golden light blazed from the evil-repelling blade as it pierced directly through one of its faces.

However, the impaled face contorted in a snarl, clamping down with ferocious tenacity on the Taoist’s Peach Wood Sword, refusing to yield despite the sacred light’s abrasive power.

The Peach Wood Sword, now slick with vile ichor, was further desecrated by the human-faced spider demon’s corrosive spittle, its form gradually degrading into rotten wood.

The Taoist’s countenance shifted dramatically.

At that precise moment, an enraged bellow split the air: "Second Brother!"

Following the sound, they witnessed the middle brother of the three Qimen Dunjia cultivators, a ghastly red lip print blooming inexplicably upon his neck, spreading ominously.

In his current state, the second brother was launching a furious assault against his two companions, his voice a maddened chant:

"She is mine! She loves only me! You cannot have her! You shall die!"

The Qimen Dunjia technique hinges upon the perfect synergy of three individuals, a brotherhood united in purpose.

With one of their ranks ensnared by an evil charm, the Qimen Dunjia formation fractured, its defenses compromised.

This trio's Qimen Dunjia had served as the sturdiest "shield" throughout their perilous journey; its collapse now meant the utter annihilation of the Divine Thought Cultivators' "defense line" against the demonic horde.

Demons, spawned from unnatural eggs, swarmed forward like an unstoppable tide...

Their advance, heralded by the arrival of the three fetus-born demons, cast a pall of despair over everyone's hearts.

Meanwhile, in another part of the battlefield, the Daluo Sect Ancestor was locked in a fierce duel with the Xiao family’s ancestor. Amidst the clash, he became aware of dark, spreading stains upon his own body, his inner malevolent thoughts surging uncontrollably.

Concurrently, the corrupted Xiao family ancestor's expression warped into one of even greater cunning and ferocity, as if he had foreseen this very outcome.

"I am being consumed..."

The Daluo Sect Ancestor’s face turned deathly pale.

True Man Situ, comprehending the catastrophic turn of events unfolding around him, felt a chilling dread seize his heart.

He understood, with chilling certainty, that their end was nigh.

"It is all for naught..." True Man Situ’s gaze suddenly hardened with resolve, his heart finding a strange peace.

He had embarked on this expedition with the full acceptance of his potential demise; death itself held no fear, only the terror that they would perish while the malevolent embryo survived.

The sacrifice of these ten Feather Transformations and four Heaven Voids would then be rendered utterly meaningless.

True Man Situ’s gaze abruptly fixed upon Yu Er, his expression one of grim determination. "Fiend! We shall perish together!"

An indomitable will surged within True Man Situ, fueled by pure hatred and an unyielding purpose. He channeled nearly all his Primordial Spirit’s might into a ferocious thrust of the Seven Stars Sword.

This strike, utterly devoid of concern for his own life, radiated an extraordinary telekinetic force.

Even the unholy might of the evil embryo could not withstand its advance.

The evil embryo emitted a wretched scream, yet True Man Situ’s absolute resolve could not be halted.

The tip of the Seven Stars Sword advanced, millimeter by painstaking millimeter.

The starlight imbued upon the sword’s edge finally struck Yu Er, wounding the true form of the evil god.

A searing red glow erupted on Yu Er's chest where the starlight had burned, and fissures began to spiderweb across his abdomen.

A piercing shriek tore from Yu Er’s throat, inciting the Xiao family ancestor, the three fetus-born demons, and a multitude of accompanying monstrous beings to attack True Man Situ in a frenzy of rage and panic.

Meanwhile, the Daluo Sect Ancestor and the other Heaven Voids, along with the remaining Feathered Immortals, possessing a grim premonition of their fate, poured all their remaining strength into their ultimate Divine Thought Secret Skill, seeking to hold back the swarming minions of the evil god and the demonic beasts, thereby buying True Man Situ the precious final moments needed.

True Man Situ’s jaw clenched so fiercely it threatened to draw blood, enduring the excruciating torsion of his Primordial Spirit under the evil god’s oppressive force, weathering the tearing agony as he drove the Seven Stars Sword deeper.

Wherever the sword’s divine radiance passed, Yu Er writhed in continuous agony, his abdomen splitting open wider and wider.

Wenren Wan watched, her heart feeling as though it were being violently pierced, utterly helpless, her sorrow a silent testament to the unfolding tragedy.

Tears welled up, blurring her vision, as if unwilling to witness a more agonizing spectacle.

True Man Situ’s eyes flickered with a mix of guilt and unwavering resolve.

"I apologize..."

With the last vestiges of his Divine Thought, he drove the Seven Stars Sword forward, aiming to pierce through Yu Er’s chest and bring an end to it all.

However, at that precise moment, a miniature black hand emerged from Yu Er’s abdomen, seizing the tip of True Man Situ’s sword.

True Man Situ’s pupils contracted violently.

The Power of Stars surged, attempting to sever this dark appendage.

Yet, this minuscule hand proved as unyielding as solid rock.

Its grip, even in terms of Divine Thought, was terrifyingly potent.

"Divine Body?!"

True Man Situ gasped, his heart lurching in his chest.

An immense dread instantly consumed him.

Facing utter despair, True Man Situ mustered his remaining courage, striving to 'wrestle' with the malevolent deity. In this final opportunity, he intended to use the Seven Stars Sword to annihilate it.

True Man Situ continued to push with all his might, but no matter the exertion, the Seven Stars Sword seemed embedded in stone, utterly immobile.

The sinister black energy even began to seep into the Seven Stars Sword itself.

Suddenly, with a resounding 'bang', right before True Man Situ’s eyes, the Seven Stars Sword was completely obliterated by that tiny black hand.

The Seven Stars Sword… destroyed…

True Man Situ’s face instantly drained of color.

He understood then, that everything had truly… concluded.

After shattering the Seven Stars Sword, the small black hand receded back into Yu Er’s abdomen.

Then followed an arm, a leg, a small form encased in a sin-filled membranous sac, submerged in dark amniotic fluid, and finally, a head.

A little head that bore a resemblance to Yu Er, yet was crowned with goat-like horns.

Time seemed to stand still.

Accompanied by suffocatingly terrifying heartbeats, the true nascent form of the Great Wilderness Evil God had finally… been born.

It slowly opened its eyes, emitting its first cry.

This cry was not shrill, but it carried a profound terror that warped the very fabric of the world, spreading through the Heavenly Dao’s causal links, and in an instant, echoing across existence.

In the Qian Learning State Boundary, atop the Sword Observation Tower…

All the Heaven Void Ancestors felt an almost simultaneous, terrifying palpitation.

Beneath the Heaven Void, all cultivators were, without exception, filled with shock and dread.

Around the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, cultivators from both righteous and demonic paths, engaged in their battle, felt this dreadful tremor. They halted involuntarily, their expressions vacant and fearful.

Cultivators within Qianxue felt as though something immensely significant had stirred, leaving their chests feeling heavy and their breathing labored.

Meanwhile, the Demon Path Cultivators, sensing this world-shattering aura, exhibited increasingly fervent expressions amidst their fear.

They knew, their Divine Lord had awakened.

This world was about to be engulfed in a true tempest of blood, to embrace an authentic banquet of slaughter.

….

Within the Blood Sacrifice Array, in the heart of the Blood and Flesh Maze.

Perceiving the terrifying miasma emanating from the evil god’s birth, the assembled demons were similarly driven into a frenzy.

And in a secluded corner of the Blood and Flesh Maze, hovering above a Blood Pool.

Sensing the potent aura of the evil god, Mo Hua slowly opened his eyes.

The evil god had been roused.

And it was by the evil god itself that he had been awakened.
