Chapter 1702 Victory…
The last time [Emperor Crimson Blood] was used, the counterfeit’s lifespan couldn’t sustain this state’s consumption, and it vanished instantly.
This time, Huo Qubing released the full power of [Emperor Crimson Blood] without reservation. At the same time, this was also a symbol of his absolute control over the [Domination Emperor]!
No longer was a human “using” a forbidden relic, but rather becoming the forbidden relic itself. At this moment, Huo Qubing was truly the “Domination Emperor.”
Countless gaps broke open on Kusuen’s trunk. Among the flying debris, that blood-colored figure leaped up from the endless willow branches and roots. His palm reached toward the sky, and three layers of thunder clouds simultaneously struck down lightning, intertwining on the spear in his hand!
Deep blue, crimson blood, and brilliant gold lightning surged across the spear’s surface. The overwhelming power of destruction caused cracks to extend across the weapon’s body. Mortal weapons simply couldn’t withstand such terrifying power and began to emit sharp wails.
Huo Qubing gripped this constantly trembling spear with no intention of letting go. The three lightning forms converged at the spear tip into a dragon silhouette. Amid the sharp wailing, the violent dragon’s roar echoed between heaven and earth.
The visible destructive force rippled outward from the sky. Seemingly sensing danger, the pale face on Kusuen’s crown twisted grotesquely. Threads of black energy surged from within, gathering into a swirling shadow sphere. In an instant, the weather changed dramatically!
Sensing the energy brewing between Huo Qubing and Kusuen, Gongyang Wan’s expression changed. She turned and shot away from the battlefield like an afterimage!
No joke, if she were caught in that scale of power, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough!
Huo Qubing saw the shadow sphere condensing on that pale face, but his expression remained unchanged. He slowly raised the spear in his hand, then hurled it with force. An extremely thin afterimage instantly pierced through heaven and earth!!
“Roar——!!!”
The furious dragon’s cry overpowered all thunder, instantly spreading hundreds of miles. A giant dragon of tricolored lightning left an afterimage in the void, directly swallowing the enormous willow tree body. Simultaneously, a beam of shadow light overflowing with counter-system energy pierced through the dragon silhouette, shooting straight into the clouds!
A white-hot explosion silently engulfed heaven and earth, grinding the entire West City along with miles of barren land around it into ash. Moments later, thunderous roars swept through, knocking down civilians who had barely escaped the battle range. They covered their ears in pain as traces of blood seeped from their orifices.
This terrifying explosion aftershock lasted a full ten seconds. As waves of light gradually dissipated, a blood-colored figure staggered out from the dust-filled sky.
“Cough cough cough cough cough…”
Huo Qubing held the broken spear in one hand and a bloody, pulpy thing in the other—something like a heart, or perhaps an eye.
He stood weakly on the cracked ground fragments. The crimson color gradually faded from his body’s surface, and blood uncontrollably seeped from various openings on his body, quickly pooling at his feet.
Swirling phantasmal smoke gradually covered the ruins before him. A broken colossal willow tree shadow struggled to rise from the ground. The pustules that had been on its trunk had all burst, and the entire crown section seemed to have been torn apart and disappeared.
But even so, the silhouette in the smoke was gradually recovering. A sharp, rage-filled screech echoed beneath the sky, and the broken willow branches once again extended in all directions!
Huo Qubing looked at the willow tree heart he had cut down in his hand, then raised his head toward the gradually recovering willow tree body. His pale lips struggled to form a smile:
“This Marquis… has won…”
The sharp willow tree screech sounded again!
Dozens of repaired willow branches frantically rushed toward Huo Qubing, seemingly somewhat desperate.
Huo Qubing lowered his head slightly, looking at the broken spear and his shattered body. Deep helplessness and bitterness appeared in his eyes…
He had won, but so what?
Without laws, he was ultimately still a mortal. Even if he could defeat Kusuen once, ten times, a hundred times, he still couldn’t kill It.
Humans, in the end, still couldn’t overcome deities.
Huo Qubing raised his head, calmly watching the swarming willow branches. He tried to straighten his chest, making his somewhat hunched body stand more upright.
Just as those willow branches were about to touch Huo Qubing’s body, a red figure rapidly descended from the sky. Sharp wind blades emitted piercing hums, cutting these willow branches in half in the blink of an eye!
Huo Qubing was slightly startled.
At the center of the gale, the familiar red-haired girl landed like a meteorite, raising fine stone fragments. The human ceiling-level aura arrived before Huo Qubing!
“Made it in time…” Chloe glanced at the willow branch fragments she had cut down on the ground and let out a long breath. She looked back, “Champion Marquis, you alone could beat that monster into this state… I, Chloe, sincerely admire you this time!”
Seeing Chloe’s familiar face, Huo Qubing came to his senses and immediately asked:
“You’re here, but where is Lin Qiye? Has the Queen Mother of the West arrived?!”
“The Queen Mother is too far away, and I wasn’t with her, so naturally she couldn’t get here so quickly…”
Hearing this, disappointment appeared on Huo Qubing’s face. Without the Queen Mother, even with more human ceiling-level fighters, they had no way to deal with Kusuen.
“However, Lin Qiye has already taken action.” Chloe pointed toward Kusuen’s direction.
Huo Qubing turned to look there. Between the not-yet-repaired willow tree trunk, a figure in green flashed, one hand holding something in the air, with terrifying mental power waves spreading frantically.
“What is he doing?”
“Sealing Kusuen.”
“Sealing?”
“We can’t kill It, so we can only temporarily seal It. This way, It’s no different from being dead.” Chloe shrugged, “It’s all thanks to you, Marquis, for directly injuring It so severely. Otherwise, trying to seal It would be as difficult as climbing to heaven… At least, that’s what Lin Qiye said.”
“Sealing a deity? Is that really possible?”
“I don’t know, we’ll have to see what he can do.”
On the other side.
Lin Qiye stood on the broken body of Kusuen, one palm pressed against the trunk below him. Countless fine causal threads followed the wood’s texture, frantically drilling into Its body.
Behind him in the void, [Causeless Cause] slowly rotated, a mysterious and profound energy rippling outward.
After losing [Predetermined Effect], Lin Qiye’s mastery of [Causeless Cause] had actually improved. With his limited mental power, trying to manage two abilities simultaneously was too strenuous. Focusing entirely on one allowed him to exert much stronger power.
“Let’s see how many causal threads it takes to seal you.”
