Chapter 1087: The Black King Reappears
Before the National Monument, Cao Yuan had already placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, his eyes filled with a determination to die.
As one of the witnesses to the fleeting moments of time, he certainly understood what this stone tablet behind him meant for the Great Xia. He was not surprised that Lin Qiye brought them here; before the other human powerhouses arrived, they had to use every means possible to hold back these four deities… even if it meant sacrificing their lives.
Although he didn’t understand why Lin Qiye only brought him and An Qingyu, it was no longer the time to ponder such things.
Just as Cao Yuan was about to draw his knife, An Qingyu turned around and looked at him seriously.
“What’s wrong?” Cao Yuan asked, puzzled.
“With just this, we can’t possibly stop these deities.”
Cao Yuan was taken aback. “I know… but what else can we do?”
“Cao Yuan, do you trust me?”
“Trust.” Cao Yuan replied without a moment’s hesitation.
“Next, I’m going to do something very bad…” An Qingyu gazed into his eyes, “Forgive me.”
Before Cao Yuan could react, An Qingyu had already grasped the hilt of the straight knife at Cao Yuan’s waist, forcefully pulling it out.
Clang—!
A light sound, the knife’s ringing was drowned out by the howling wind and snow.
An Qingyu held onto Cao Yuan’s hand, while Cao Yuan gripped the knife.
Under Cao Yuan’s shocked gaze, An Qingyu pointed the blade at Cao Yuan’s chest, the edge slicing through his flesh, directly stabbing toward his heart!
An Qingyu’s gaze was incredibly calm.
Cao Yuan looked at him in confusion; at the moment the blade was about to pierce his heart, he instinctively resisted for a moment, but the next second, he relaxed his body, allowing An Qingyu’s knife to plunge into his heart.
A massive pillar of malevolent energy burst forth, shattering the raging snowstorm and shooting into the sky!
……
Amidst the howling wind and snow, six “Klein” level guardians charged toward the four pillar gods simultaneously.
“A group of strange beasts summoned?”
Seeing this, the Wind God Xiu shook his head, “How long can you hold us off with these things?”
He extended his hand, grasping at the six approaching guardians from afar, and a twisted gale suddenly arose, crushing all the air within several kilometers ahead with terrifying power.
In a critical moment, a white bear from the void embraced Wang Cai, vanishing into the void, while a gray sparrow flapped its wings, transforming into a gray streak that flew several kilometers away in an instant. Only the massive black python and the slower snow woman were instantly crushed into fragments by the gale, turning into remnants that returned to the gods’ asylum.
Seeing four “mysterious” creatures escape, the Wind God Xiu’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to take action, the ground beneath him suddenly trembled.
The four pillar gods looked up simultaneously, only to see a pitch-black pillar of malevolent energy shooting into the sky, the snow clouds above gradually swirling into a massive vortex under the impact of the energy pillar.
Roar—!!
The flames of malevolence intertwined into a sea of fire, incinerating the falling snowflakes, and a deep roar echoed beneath the sky. At the same time, a black giant shadow slowly rose from the ruins.
It was a giant composed entirely of black flames, with circular holes in its arms, shoulders, knees, and chest. Black chains pierced through it from the void, as if they were shackles of fate, binding it tightly in place.
“Hmm?”
Upon seeing this towering shadow, the faces of the four pillar gods simultaneously showed confusion. “What is that thing?”
“I don’t know… it seems to have come out of that red-clothed mortal. I’ve never seen such a monster before.”
“Mortal? How could a mortal possess something like that? Its aura is not weaker than ours.”
“It’s coming toward us.”
“Don’t let it hold you back, split up and break the monument.”
The four pillar gods flew off in different directions. Just as the Earth God Geb was about to bypass the towering shadow, a heavy chain whistled down.
Geb’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly dodged. The black giant lock crashed onto the snowy ground, causing thick snow to rise like two waterfalls, as the lock scraped across the earth, instantly crushing a giant peak into rubble.
Geb frowned at the towering shadow before him, realizing he had been targeted. With a cold snort, he unleashed his divine power and charged toward the giant shadow.
“Pen Spirit, Pen Spirit, you are my past life, I am your present life. If you hear my call, please draw a circle…”
A whisper echoed through the wind and snow, and a circular trench quickly formed beneath the feet of the Life God Isis, enclosing her within a circle. A strange woman in a white dress suddenly appeared behind her, her hands reaching around her neck, grasping for her eyes!
Isis narrowed her eyes, a hint of disdain flashing in them. Just then, the scene before her changed; the endless white snow vanished, replaced by a neon-lit dance floor.
She saw a pug in a tuxedo twisting its alluring body on a steel pole, even turning its head to throw her a flirtatious glance.
A chill ran through Isis’s heart.
In that critical moment, a white bear, a pug, and a rapidly blurring gray shadow simultaneously charged toward Isis from three different directions.
A cold snort echoed from the wind and snow, and in just half a second, Isis broke free from Wang Cai’s grasp, lifted her right foot, and stomped heavily on the ground.
An invisible ripple radiated from her, and in the blink of an eye, the four guardians were crushed into blood-colored dust, scattering in the raging wind, disappearing without a trace.
The four “Klein” level guardians managed to hold the Life God Isis for less than seven seconds.
In those brief seven seconds, the Wind God Xiu and the Sky God Nut had already reached the black stone tablet.
There, a figure draped in a deep red cloak held a sword in one hand, coldly watching them.
Behind him, the phantom of a golden-haired man slowly took shape.
“Are you sure?” Bragi’s voice echoed in Lin Qiye’s ears, his tone unusually serious. “A few days ago, you just bore the soul of that monkey… your current soul strength is insufficient to support me.
If you do this, you might die.”
“I know.” Lin Qiye gazed at the two before him and slowly spoke, “But there are some things I must do.”
Lin Qiye was well aware of what would happen if he bore the souls of two deities consecutively. During the Great Catastrophe of Cangnan, he had borne the souls of Nyx and Merlin in a short time, resulting in his soul fracturing. If it weren’t for the Celestial Sovereign personally intervening to stabilize his soul, even if he didn’t die, he would have been doomed to become a madman forever.
Hearing this, Bragi sighed lightly, stepping forward and merging into Lin Qiye’s body.
