Chapter 2022 - Dusk of Gods

Hua Taixu used the cycle of samsara to save countless lives, allowing them to have a chance to cultivate again in the next life. He spoiled the grand plans of the Buddha Sovereign. The faith of countless people in the western world army was used by the Grand Devil Lord as he battled, granting him immense might, allowing him to hold his own against three.

But now since the majority of them entered samsara, the strength of the Grand Devil Lord was greatly reduced. He was left with his original strength.

The Buddhist Sect traveled east. Why did the Buddha Sovereign bring the Buddhist Sect with him to fight the Heaven Vault? Obviously, he wanted to use the faith they provided, converting it into his strength. Sadly, all of his plans were spoiled by an ex-buddha lord of the western paradise.

Buddhism speaks of karma, wasn’t this a karma of sorts?

“Imperishable. Back then, your soul was extremely powerful, so powerful that it was rare even among the godkings of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. You heavily injured my soul, causing me to spend countless years in recuperation. Today, you brought your successor here and passed all your energy to her and I’ve also returned again. Now, without the support of the western world army, I can experience again how powerful your soul attack is.” The Grand Devil Lord spoke. It was like the Grand Devil Lord was an avatar of the Buddhist Sovereign, both buddha and devil was one. The Buddha Sovereign was a devil as well as a buddha.

Beiming Youhuang and the Imperishable Heaven Lord stared at the Grand Devil Lord. After that, the Grand Devil Lord simply looked at them. Time seemed to crawl to a stop. There was a devil lotus of darkness blooming in the eyes of the Grand Devil Lord. This devil lotus was pitch black, it exuded a sense of pure evil like it originated from hell and directly took root in Beiming Youhuang’s soul. In the next instant, Beiming Youhuang could sense a black lotus growing in her soul, wanting to devilize her soul before devouring it.

Beiming Youhuang’s soul erupted with an incomparably holy light, shining resplendently, resisting the corrosion of the devil lotus of darkness. Her tyrannical soul also launched an attack at the same time against the Grand Devil Lord. In an instant, the soul of the Grand Devil Lord trembled from the frost, there was also a supreme destructive energy that could destroy everything born inside it.

Two powerful existences were fighting using their souls. This combat was much more dangerous compared to physical combat. Once a soul was injured past a certain extent, the soul would simply disperse. If the damage was severe, their souls wouldn’t be able to recover within a short period of time. Both of them entered a wondrous stage, there were only each other in their eyes, they didn’t have the time to focus on anything else.

“ROAR!” A heaven-shaking howl rang out. The heaven devouring godking moved towards Little Rascal, wanting to devour him. The Grim Reaper’s figure flashed as he moved towards the battlefield, blocking the heaven devouring godking’s attack. He called out to Little Rascal, “You won’t be able to affect anything in this battlefield, why don’t you go help out in the other battlefields?”

Little Rascal gave a low roar. After that, he turned and flew towards the battlefield Qin Wentian was in. Over there, other than Qin Wentian and Yue Changkong fighting with each other, the other deities on each side were clashing madly too.

“Let’s head there as well.” The buddha lords and sacred buddhas of the western paradise who had survived earlier also began to rush there. In this place, there were clashes between four godking-level experts, they had no way to interfere. Since this is the case, they should try to kill or capture the experts from the Heaven Vault for now and cause Qin Wentian’s heart to be disturbed. They could also use the captives to threaten Qin Wentian.

In that battlefield, the experts from the hegemonic powers that have submitted to Yue Changkong were actually at an absolute disadvantage, they were ruthlessly being suppressed. Although they didn’t lose out in terms of numbers, the Heaven Vault has also produced a large number of deities during these years and among these deities, there were quite a few that were extremely powerful.

For example, Jun Mengchen. Although there was still a distance between him and a godking, he was already exceedingly powerful for a heavenly deity. His physical body was like an entire world and he wielded world force from the dao of the world. His simple-looking attacks contained immense force. All deities who blocked him were killed with no exceptions.

Although the battles haven’t been fought for a long time, there were already several deities who died to his hand.

And at this moment, when Jun Mengchen saw Hua Taixu dying on another battlefield, his aura became even more berserk as his killing intent engulfed the starry space.

Qin Wentian, him, Nanfeng Yunxi and Hua Taixu were comrades who experienced life-and-death situations numerous times before in the past. Back then when they first entered the City of Ancient Emperors, they already fought together. Although Hua Taixu was a man of few words and out of everyone, his relationship with Hua Taixu was the shallowest, he was actually in deep admiration of Hua Taixu. Hua Taixu was someone clear of grudges and gratitudes, someone that was able to see the big picture. According to his Senior Brother Qin, back then when Qin Wentian hunted his younger brother Hua Taixu managed to resolve everything with Qin Wentian, able to overlook the past because he knew that back then, his younger brother was the one who was in the wrong.

Back then, if that case was a small family matter, the case now involved the multitude of lives. In order to save the people of the world, he was willing to sacrifice himself, transforming into the cycle of samsara, allowing the souls of those people who were exploited by the Buddha Sovereign to have a chance to be reborn again. What courage and conviction must one have to do this? How could anyone not be impressed and admire Hua Taixu?

“Die!” Jun Mengchen punched out with another fist, aiming for the Prison God Clan Leader’s body. The Prison God Clan Leader controlled his dao of space to counter-attack. The layers of space were easily sliced apart by him, the crescent blade in his hands was something formed by the laws of space. His eyes shone with hatred, wanting nothing more than to tear Jun Mengchen into pieces.

Jun Mengchen’s fist slammed into that supremely powerful spatial crescent blade. That blade could even slash apart space but it was still broken by the force of Jun Mengchen’s punches. A terrifying light radiated from Jun Mengchen fist, each of his punches had the force of the explosion of a world. The spatial blade couldn’t withstand the force and shattered into pieces, unleashing a spatial storm in the process.

Upon seeing the mighty fists aiming for him, the Prison God Clan Leader warped space, wanting to flee.

“This is my world.” Jun Mengchen coldly spoke. The light from the dao of world enveloped the surrounding space and when the Prison God Clan Leader tried to flee, he slammed into the barrier of the world. Although space was distorted by him, he wasn’t able to escape this world.

“Go to hell!” Jun Mengchen roared angrily as he punched out. Explosions occurred unceasingly within the world, causing the sky and earth to shatter. Destructive might swept over everything, enveloping the Prison God Clan Leader. When he saw the destructive might flowing over, he could feel that today would be his doomsday. He was the leader of a hegemonic power that ruled over an entire area, someone who stood at the peak of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. But today, he would be killed by a junior.

This world finally belonged to the people of the later generations. The battle in the Heaven Vault this time around caused him to feel that these juniors have already risen up to his level. He and his peers were surpassed and left behind. This was fate.

The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms seemed to be undergoing a cycle of samsara.

The world then exploded, the Prison God Clan Leader was buried within, a leader of a generation died just like that.

This scene caused the other experts from the hegemonic powers to feel a chill in their hearts. They came here to conquer the Heaven Vault but what awaited them was their doomsday.

In truth, in the previous battle when they invaded, it was their best opportunity. Sadly, Qin Yuanfeng arrived in time and spoiled their plans and the western paradise also failed to keep Qin Wentian imprisoned. Hence, that led to the second battle over the Heaven Vault today. This time around, the Heaven Vault was much stronger compared to before.

Jun Mengchen, Luoshen Qianxue, Qin Kexin, the old Qiankun Sect Leader, which of them weren’t extremely powerful existences? Even for Luoshen Chuan and the demon sovereigns of the Demon God Mountain, as well as Qin Wentian’s subordinates like Qi Yu and the others, all of them have become extremely powerful. All these factors led to the hegemonic powers being suppressed.

But at this moment, the experts of western paradise arrived. The western paradise had always been the strongest hegemonic power in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. They had the most number of deities and could dominate any hegemonic power. In an instant, the morale of the experts from the hegemonic powers surged when they saw their allies. They grew increasingly berserk in battle, wanting to slaughter a bloody path out.

“Is there any use?” Jun Mengchen’s eyes were cold. He stepped out, directly flying towards the camp of experts from the western paradise. A powerful pressure gushed forth from him, he was still a distance away from godkings but how could he not be powerful enough to deal with heavenly deities? He definitely wouldn’t allow his senior brother to be distracted in this battle. The experts of the Heaven Vault would naturally make sure to kill all these enemies.

Little Rascal also rushed over quickly, he was brimming with killing intent as he also rushed into the camp of deities from the western paradise. His father died in the hands of the Buddha Sovereign. He wanted revenge. Since he couldn’t kill the Buddha Sovereign, he shall redirect his hatred onto these bald donkeys.

The buddhas of the western paradise radiated buddhic light as their bodies turned golden. Jun Mengchen and Little Rascal’s powerful attacks were actually blocked by the golden light. At this moment, Qi Yu also rushed over. Battle runes floated in the sky as his battle intent surged. His eyes were filled with coldness when he stared at these bald donkeys. Everyone hated the western paradise, the hatred they felt for the western paradise even exceeded their hatred of Yue Changkong.

Yue Changkong’s evil was displayed out in the open, he didn’t mask it. He was evil incarnate, he was the devil. However, the western paradise was nothing but a filthy hypocrite, hiding behind the facade of kindness yet doing evil deeds in the dark. They spoke about virtue and benevolence yet the Buddhist Sovereign kidnapped countless lives, making them a part of the western world army with the buddha lords and sacred buddhas to lead them. The western paradise was then the greatest evil in the world. Their sins towered up into the sky and they had lost all humanity.

“Capture the two of them.” A heavenly deity pointed to Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng, knowing that they were his wives. Now that they were in a disadvantageous position in the battle, they might be able to overturn the situation if they managed to capture Qin Wentian’s wives.

Instantly, numerous deities rushed towards Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng. Qing`er’s gaze flickered with frost, her body flashed as golden light radiated forth. The space around her began to distort. Those deities that rushed towards her and Mo Qingcheng were torn into countless pieces by the distorting space.

White-haired killing goddess! As expected of her title.

In another direction, Qin Wentian and Yue Changkong were still in their mental battle. Their bodies quietly stood there unmoving, yet in the world of intent, their battle was extremely intense. At this moment, the full moon unleashed a dao extermination divine glow that could destroy all daos in the world. Qin Wentian slashed out billions of strands of sword intent to counter but his sword intent and spacetime dao were being extinguished by Yue Changkong.

This power once belonged to the Moon God Godking. But now, it was unleashing its might in Yue Changkong’s hand.

“The dao of the Moon God can extinguish all daos in the world.” Yue Changkong coldly laughed. The defenses before Qin Wentian were being torn apart layer by layer yet Qin Wentian was as calm as ever.

He inclined his head and looked up at the sky, “The myriad of things in the world would either engender or counteract one another. This is the same principle for daos as well. There’s no such thing as an invincible dao in the world.” Qin Wentian slowly spoke. He stared at the starry sky and there were some constellations that seemed to sense his gaze. Those constellations began to glow with a resplendent light that enveloped the full moon.

“Sealing heavenly dao.” Qin Wentian spoke. The full moon in the sky now dimmed, like there was a shadow cast on it.
