Chapter 458 The Key to the Gate Descends
That's it...
it's over??!
Standing behind Li Jie, Lingbao Tianzun stared blankly at the gradually disappearing phantom of the moon.
A stormy sea seemed to surge within me.
Keep in mind that there are still over twenty Kelvin-level gods at the main god level within the Moon Seal...
Even if He joined forces with the other two Celestial Venerables, it would still take some effort to deal with these disgusting things, and in the end, they might not be able to completely annihilate them.
But Li Jie only drew his sword once...
Oh no, to be precise, it should be two swords.
One sword breaks the seal, one sword annihilates the gods!
When Lingbao Tianzun was creating this body for Li Jie, he had already guessed that when Li Jie awoke again, his cultivation level would inevitably reach a height that would be awe-inspiring.
I just didn't expect it to be this terrifying.
On the other hand, Li Jie simply clapped his hands lightly, as if brushing away the dust from his fingertips.
Then, he skillfully took out a brand-new black cloak from the sword-nurturing gourd at his waist, casually draped it over his bare upper body which shimmered with a jade-like luster, shook his head and smiled, and said lightly.
"This Cloken-type god... doesn't seem so great after all..."
Lingbao Tianzun: I seem to be a clown...
"Alright." With that, Li Jie raised his head and looked into the depths of the starry river, two sharp starlight beams in his eyes flashing slightly as he instantly locked onto a certain direction.
"Now that things are settled here, shouldn't we... head back to Great Xia?"
.........
Shangjing City.
The thick clouds were already filled with endless crimson, like a solidified sea of blood, extremely oppressive.
The earth groaned as it trembled violently and continuously.
The underground shelters were shaking violently under the force of this immense power, thankfully these shelters were built by the monuments that are at the top of the human ceiling.
If those earth-elemental forbidden ruins were allowed to build them on their own, they would probably be torn to shreds in an instant by the black goat cubs imbued with the power of the Khrushchev gods.
With a knife in his right hand, Zuo Qing wandered among the surging, mysterious array of the K-type beings.
"Min Junliang, report on casualties in various locations!!"
The invasion of the Khrushchev gods was too sudden, but the Great Xia was not entirely unprepared.
The 132 teams assigned to various locations are now in place.
All ordinary citizens have moved into the nearest underground shelters.
Even if there is some tremor, it should not cause too many casualties.
"Reporting to the commander, reports came from all locations three minutes ago, but..."
"Just what?"
Hearing the noisy sounds in the headphones, Zuo Qing's heart sank. Right now, what Da Xia fears most is this kind of sudden unexpected situation.
After slashing away the Mystic of the Kelp type in front of him with his sword, Min Junliang pressed his earpiece and said in a deep voice.
"Besides the confirmed fall of Chenlong Pass, we also haven't been able to contact Xuehan Pass. They don't have a human expert stationed there, so I'm afraid..."
Xuehan Pass is located on the northern border of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is sparsely populated, and the residents of the only three first-level cities have been relocated by the Night Watch and the Great Xia government to underground shelters near the inland.
Although this is also a first-class strategic pass, it is not as important as the other passes along the southeast coast.
Therefore, Zuo Qing only sent a small team with an average strength of 'Klein' to be stationed there.
If they encounter a large number of Cthulhu Mystics...
The results speak for themselves.
"I understand. How are the residents' feelings?"
"This is bad. News from the logistics department indicates that rumors are spreading in over three hundred large underground shelters, and the rumors are quite nasty..."
"Continue to appease them." After slicing down the mysterious behemoth clinging to the waist of the Night Watch headquarters building with a single strike, Zuo Qing calmly issued a series of commands.
"If necessary, start live streaming in a timely manner."
"It's better to guide than to block; I believe you understand this principle better than I do."
"Roger that!"
Clang—!
After struggling to block the scarlet lizard's claws, Min Junliang gave a wry smile and quickly relayed Zuo Qing's orders to every underground shelter.
As for when the live stream will start...
That's not something he should be concerned about...
Above the sky, a black beastly figure hidden in the clouds watched this scene with a mocking gaze.
Night watchman?
It's quite interesting that they managed to survive a beast tide of this size...
It seems Xiao An was right; I really underestimated you all!
"When are you coming? There's a good show to watch here."
"I will descend once the other divine realms have completely disappeared."
After receiving a positive reply from the Key to the Gate, the Black Goat no longer concealed its form. In an instant, its enormous beastly shadow pierced through the thick clouds above the capital city and descended upon the world.
The terrifying supreme divine power erupted completely at this moment, directly disrupting the advance of Zuo Qing and the others.
boom! !
Blown away by divine power, Zuo Qing landed heavily on the rooftop of the Night Watchers headquarters building.
Only then did a solemn expression appear on his face.
"We've finally arrived, [Black Goat] Shub Nicholas..."
"Oh? You know me?"
"Of course, how could I not know you, one of the three famous pillar gods of the Khrushchev system? But... I didn't expect your appearance to be so ugly and your aura to be so nauseating."
After sizing up this supreme god of the Khrushchev system, whom even the Heavenly Venerable dared not underestimate, Zuo Qing gagged twice, quite appropriately.
"Untouchable!"
Zuo Qing's feigned concern completely ignited the Black Goat's anger; it could be said that he had touched the latter's sore spot.
Without further ado, the Black Goat flapped its wings, and the hundreds of blood-red tumors arranged on its black wings began to writhe.
Immediately afterwards, a massive beam of crimson light shot straight toward the direction where Zuo Qing was standing.
Seeing this, Zuo Qing sighed softly.
If I'd known, I wouldn't have been so sharp-tongued...
Yes, he did not choose to resist or run away.
because......
He can't.
The human ceiling is the group of humans closest to the gods, so Zuo Qing could clearly sense the killing intent contained in that attack.
Even if you fight back desperately or try to escape, those crimson beams will chase you to the ends of the earth.
A way to stop them...
There is only death.
With this thought in mind, Zuo Qing sheathed the straight sword that represented his status as the Supreme Commander of the Night's Watch, tightened his cloak, smiled, and raised his hand to give a thumbs-up to the Black Goat in the sky. Then... he suddenly slammed it down!
Then, he parted his lips slightly and coldly uttered two words.
"stupid*!"
Clang~!
Just as the scarlet beam of light was about to strike Zuo Qing.
From the distant west, a dazzling sword light, like a galaxy rolling backwards, surged forth!
The sword intent was sharp and intense.
It steadily blocked the crimson beams of light five meters away from Zuo Qing.
boom! !
The deafening roar nearly shattered Zuo Qing's eardrums. He lifted his cloak to shield himself from the endless dust and smoke stirred up by the clash of divine powers.
A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
A moment later, the smoke and dust dissipated.
A simple, ancient longsword, pure yellow in color and engraved with some colorful patterns, hangs in the air.
The divine power contained within has already surpassed the realm of the main god and entered the supreme realm!
A moment later, a gaunt figure dressed in black stepped through the void and gently grasped the yellowed sword hilt.
Zheng~!
A crisp sword clatter echoed in mid-air. The black-clad youth narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the tall beastly figure floating beneath the clouds, and murmured in a calm yet undeniable voice.
"Gods are forbidden to travel within Daxia territory!"
"Oh? You were from back then..." Upon seeing the suddenly appearing young man in black, [Black Goat] finally suppressed the smile in his eyes and spoke.
"I never expected that a mere mortal like you could overcome that divine punishment and ascend to the highest realm..."
"However, that's still not enough..."
"What about me?"
Just then, a hearty laugh came from the east, and endless Buddhist light rippled and transformed into a ninefold halo of divine power. A moment later, a burly figure draped in a black robe slowly emerged from the bottom of the nine-layered pagoda.
The divine power emanating from him was almost on par with that of the Supreme Realm.
"Half-step to the Supreme Realm? That's all... This is probably your limit..."
After looking the burly figure shrouded in Buddhist light up and down, [Black Goat] smiled disdainfully and shook its massive body somewhat irritably.
As expected of the Great Xia Dynasty, even without the support of primordial power or the enhancement of any faith power, people were still able to break through that insurmountable barrier and reach the highest level.
but.......
So what?
It's only one and a half high-level units; how long can it drag on?
"Very well, if it's just one-sided slaughter, it would be too boring. Let me try out the methods of the newly ascended supreme god of Great Xia."
Upon realizing this, the Black Goat let out a strange laugh, and its enormous body instantly disintegrated, transforming into an endless black mist.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of tentacles covered in scarlet slime attacked Zhou Ping and Ye Fan from all directions.
........
The realm of Olympus.
An Qingyu... no, [Key to the Gate] sat cross-legged before the Gate of Truth, quietly waiting for something.
What are you still struggling for?
"She's nothing more than a servant of my Cthulhu pantheon..."
"Since you've already chosen to submit, then offer up your divine soul, and I will grant you..."
"To return to this world..."
clang--!
clang--!
clang--!
Three deep chimes rang out, and the tremors that erupted from behind the Gate of Truth gradually subsided.
A gray glint flashed in the eyes of the Key to the Gate. After a moment, He nodded in satisfaction, then waved one hand, dispelling the ancient, gleaming golden portal.
"Has something else happened in Great Xia?"
"It's just a half-Supreme Being, do you really need to take it so seriously?"
"Everything is going smoothly. Their appearance was just a minor incident and won't affect the overall situation..."
"But why do I feel so uneasy...?"
"It's strange."
Upon realizing this, [Key to the Gate] gently shook his head.
Now that all the kingdoms have been settled, only the Great Xia remains. Once those so-called Night Watchers are wiped out, there will be no power in this universe that can stop that great one from descending!
Pulling his thoughts back, [Key to the Gate] no longer hesitated, turned around and took a step forward.
A flash of silvery-white light.
When His vision cleared again, He was already over the skies above Shangjing City.
Zhou Ping and his companion, who were engaged in a fierce battle with the Black Goat, did not notice the sudden appearance of the Key to the Gate.
The latter had no intention of intervening; he simply watched quietly as the divine flames clashed and intertwined wildly in mid-air.
"Were you waiting for me, Deputy Captain An?"
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Qingzhu, with her six gray-white wings, appeared behind the Key to the Gate at some unknown time.
"Deputy Captain An? That's a completely unfamiliar name..."
"He's just a puppet I left in the real world. What would you call him...?"
"agent?"
"If you still think of me as him, then you're sorely mistaken..."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu silently took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it slowly with two fingers, took a deep drag, and then said slowly.
"So, if I make a move against you later, I won't hold back?"
"You want to fight me?" Upon hearing this, [Key to the Gate] burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"That's incredibly overconfident..."
"How dare a six-winged angel who hasn't fully mastered the power of origin stand against me?"
"But we still have to give it a try, otherwise... I won't be able to explain it to my captain." With that, Shen Qingzhu casually tossed away the nearly burnt-out cigarette butt, cleared his throat with a couple of coughs, and then put his hands in his pockets and said, word by word.
"[Key to the Gate], give me back my Deputy Captain An!"
..........
Ancestral Temple.
Lin Qiye, who was relying on the fully activated source of darkness to break through to the realm of the main god, suddenly felt a pain in his chest for no reason.
A moment later, he painfully opened his eyes, glanced at the Great Xia gods who were still in seclusion, and murmured in confusion.
"Has something happened?"
Why do I feel so uneasy...?
No, I can't wait any longer. Even if I can't break through to the God Realm right now, I have to find a way to go back.
There... someone is waiting for me there!
