"Awaken, Blazing Sun!"

With Abu's shout, the broken sword suddenly burst forth with light!

The moment the light touched the [Raging Wave Axe], it instantly melted away!

"Boom!"

A beam of light pierced through the dome of Gao Qiu's [King's Treasury] palace, shooting straight into the sky!

"What... what the hell is this?!"

Gao Qiu was forced to cover her face with her hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.

His creation, made by the Minister of War, was actually vaporized by a goblin with a broken sword?

It is not a sword.

Just then, Guyue Xuyu spoke.

"Or rather, this thing was never a physical weapon from the beginning, but rather..."

"A living Supernatural Ability."

"A living Supernatural Ability?"

Gao Qiu's eyes widened. "Is it like that Madman guy's [Envy], a monster with its own consciousness?"

"No."

Guyue Xuyu shook his head, his eyes reflecting the towering pillar of light.

"It's different from [Envy]. This Supernatural Ability, while alive, hasn't developed any independent consciousness."

"It stripped itself of all impurities, transforming itself into a sword, a weapon born to burn."

"Even without consciousness, it can make an ordinary person..."

"To gain power almost equivalent to that of a god in an extremely short time!"

"It is..."

"The prototype for the final form of that [Dragon God Imperial Armor]..."

"It is also 010 in the [Ordinary Sequence]..."

"[Life Ignition]!"

Guyue Xuyu raised her head and looked at the sky through the Time Rift.

At this moment, the unusual phenomenon of the sun and moon appearing in the same sky is undergoing a terrifying change!

The sun, which had been intertwined with the pale crescent moon, suddenly turned crimson!

Then, it actually coalesced into a dazzling point of light.

It traveled thousands of miles and shot down towards the ground where they were!

"Boom!"

A crimson beam of sunlight fell upon the broken sword in Abu's hand!

Flowing blades are like fire, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas!

The true power of the sun began to Fusion with the light of [Life Ignition].

The originally broken sword blade grew and extended under the interweaving and reshaping of countless specks of golden light.

Crimson runes flowed across the blade of the sword.

The long-dormant Blazing Sun Sword has finally reappeared in the world!

Even though his body was on the verge of collapse, Abu still gripped the sword hilt with both hands.

He raised the giant sword, which resembled a miniature sun, high above his head and roared to the heavens:

"O Blazing Sun! Grant me..."

"Protect everyone's power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the sun on the sword blade surged into his limbs and bones along the hilt!

"Ughhhhh!"

Abu screamed in agony as the veins throughout his body burned bright red.

Gexi collapsed not far away, pinned to the ground by the Seven-Star Dragon-Slaying Nail.

He watched this scene, his eyes filled with unbearable sorrow.

But he knew better than anyone that this was Abu's lifelong dream.

This was also the goblin's last wish, a wish that was mocked by the world as cannon fodder.

We must respect his decision, which he made at the cost of his life.

"Abu..."

Hang in there!!!

Hearing Gexi's call, Abu turned his head slightly, his scorched lips parted, and he gave a bitter smile.

"Ah!"

With a final roar, he released all his physical and mental defenses.

He sacrificed his soul and flesh, completely absorbing the energy of the Blazing Sun!

"Impossible! I will never allow such an absurd thing to happen!"

Gao Qiu went mad; he was a powerful Demigod.

How could I possibly tolerate being trampled underfoot by a goblin!

"[Godslayer Spear]! [Demon-Slaying Sword]! Kill them all!"

Gao Qiu waved his hands, summoning two top-grade weapons from the King's Treasury.

They transformed into two streaks of light and headed straight for Abu's head!

However, faced with this deadly attack...

Abu simply raised his head and swung the Blazing Sun Sword in his hand.

"Laugh!"

There wasn't even a sound of collision.

Those two top-grade Spirit Artifact then turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished!

"Impossible! You mere goblin! How could you possibly beat me!"

Undeterred by fate, he exerted all his strength, unleashing hundreds and thousands of swords, spears, and halberds from the treasure vault!

However, this metallic storm was completely melted away by the power of the sun when it came within ten meters of Abu!

"It's useless."

Abu's voice became ethereal, "Before the true sun..."

"Any counterfeit..."

"Falsehoods will have nowhere to hide!"

He gripped his sword with both hands, aimed it at the golden palace in front of him, and slashed down!

"Including you!"

"Boom! Crack!"

Golden Sword Qi swept out!

Gao Qiu's domain, [King's Treasury], was split in two from the center, instantly exploding into a sky full of golden light!

Gao Qiu suffered a backlash from the domain, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.

"I... I actually lost..."

"We lost to a filthy goblin."

Just as Gao Qiu was about to be vaporized by the ensuing aftershocks of the sun.

A purple afterimage flashed by, Guyue Xuyu finally made his move.

Her expression was icy, and a longbow appeared in her jade-like hand.

She drew the bowstring to its fullest extent, her figure as swift as a shooting star.

A dark blue arrow took shape, locking onto Abu's aura.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow left the bowstring so fast that it froze space itself, leaving a white trail!

Even with the intense heat surrounding Abu, the dark blue arrow still pierced through the fierce defenses.

It hit his right leg!

"Click click click..."

Absolute zero erupted, and Abu's right leg was engulfed in flames.

It was covered by this cold air and formed a layer of blue frost!

"As expected of being ranked among the top ten forbidden sequences."

Looking at Abu, whose only leg was frozen, Guyue Xuyu couldn't help but sigh.

If it were any other ordinary top-tier expert or even Demigod, they would have been severely injured even if [Cold Moon] had only scratched their skin.

They might also be frozen solid and unable to move.

And this goblin actually withstood this deadly control!

Abu staggered and fell to his knees on one knee.

But he wasn't panicked at all, because he knew better than anyone else...

He had already fallen into a deadly trap.

Or rather...

From the moment he plunged the broken sword into his heart, forcibly activating it.

He was already dead.

He turned around with difficulty and looked at Gexi one last time.

"Gexi..."

"From now on... my tribe... my family..."

"I'm leaving it to you to take care of..."

Gexi lay in a pool of blood, neither crying nor uttering any insincere words of pleading.

He knew this was the final desecration of a soldier.

He just gritted his teeth and roared.

"Leave it to me! Go, Abu!"

Abu smiled.

This time, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Because in the final moments of his life, he was finally no longer a burden.

He finally...

They truly stood on the same front as their partners and fought side by side.

Even if this glory lasts only a few minutes.

Abu closed his eyes.

The true essence of the Blazing Sun Sword was revealed in the chant!

"Let my broken body become raging flames..."

"Burning this life to the fullest..."

"Myriad Flames, Utter Silence!!!"

"Boom!"

In that instant, Abu's already mangled body was completely burned away, leaving not even ashes behind.

He transformed everything he had into energy and sacrificed it to the Blazing Sun Sword!

Having absorbed all of its master's power, the Blazing Sun Sword emitted an excited yet tragic sword cry!

The sword swelled in the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into a light sword ten thousand feet long.

He slashed down at Guyue Xuyu and the others below!

"Oh dear, that's quite a powerful attack."

Gao Xia, who was locked in a fierce battle with Zhang Lingqi, saw the colossal sword thousands of feet long above his head.

He deliberately jumped back a considerable distance to remove the dust from his suit.

"Sir, I think..."

"It seems necessary to temporarily suspend our entertainment programs. What do you think?"

Zhang Lingqi was covered in blood. He glanced at the World Annihilation strike in the sky and had no time to waste words with this Madman.

He rushed towards Gexi, who was pinned to the ground, scooped him up, and retreated towards the outer perimeter.

Not far away, the lonely Watcher Scarecrow head on the ground looked up at the giant sword falling from the sky.

"What a beautiful destruction..."

"I learned..."

After several ups and downs, Gao Xia returned to Gao Qiu's side, who was in a state of self-isolation.

At this moment, Gao Qiu's hair was disheveled and her eyes were vacant.

He lost; he actually lost to a goblin he considered an ant.

The collapse of this faith is more painful than killing him.

This was the first time Gao Xia had ever seen her older brother look so dejected.

But instead of feeling sorry for him, he almost burst out laughing.

"This is just the beginning... my dear brother."

He murmured to himself, then looked at Guyue Xuyu.

"Lord Void, I'm leaving this mess to you."

Guyue Xuyu didn't even glance at him, but kept his eyes fixed on the approaching golden sword.

"Goblin, you are a respectable warrior."

"As a sign of respect..."

"In the New World, I will give you goblins the meaning and status you deserve."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Guyue Xuyu raised a finger.

"The Finger of Sacred Judgment swept across the sky, erasing five breaths of time..."

"All things return to their origin, cause and effect are re-established..."

"Chronos!"

"When!"

A bell suddenly rang out across the land!

Behind Guyue Xuyu, the phantom of a clock that blots out the sky appears!

Zhang Lingqi and Gexi, who were fleeing, heard the bell ring at the same time, and Human Heart were startled.

"What... ability is this?"

Zhang Lingqi turned around, his eyes wide with shock, "A clock?"

"Could it be... time stopped?!"

However, the next second, something incredibly bizarre happened!

Zhang Lingqi didn't feel that time had stopped; he only felt a sense of unease...

Lag!

It's like having a frame cut out of a video!

When he came to his senses again, he was horrified to discover...

My body, which had been running wildly, Time Stop!

Not only that, he also experienced excruciating pain in his shoulders and abdomen!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

He looked down and saw three dark blue arrows stuck in his body!

And the place he is in now is not the same place he was just now!

"What on earth is going on..."

Zhang Lingqi and found that Gexi, whom he had been carrying on his back, was gone!

Looking over, Gexi was pinned to a dead tree dozens of meters away by an ice arrow!

A chill ran down Zhang Lingqi's spine.

When he instinctively looked up at the sky, he froze.

The colossal sword, radiating Blazing Sun, hung above everyone's heads...

It's gone!

In the distance, a chasm appeared on the ground, as if it were an insurmountable barrier!

And the broken sword stuck at the end!

Meanwhile, Guyue Xuyu and the others, who were originally standing in the center of the ravine...

It's no longer in the same place.

"Smack!"

Just as Zhang Lingqi was in a daze, a hand suddenly grabbed his hair and lifted him up.

"Hehehe... Doesn't it seem incredible? Don't you feel like an idiot?"

Gao Xia's arrogant laughter rang in Zhang Lingqi's ears.

"Before the great Lord of Void, all the efforts of you ants..."

"It was meaningless from the very beginning!"

Void...

Zhang Lingqi murmured the code name with difficulty.

"Stop wasting time talking to this guy, just kill him."

Guyue Xuyu appeared before the two of them.

"Yes, Lord Void."

Gao Xia's palm was covered with the dark red light of [Calamity].

It aimed at Zhang Lingqi's neck, about to snap it.

But, at this critical moment...

There was no fear in Zhang Lingqi's eyes.

On the contrary, his brain was still thinking!

He didn't look at Gao Xia, but stared at Guyue Xuyu.

"What exactly did she do?"

"If time hadn't stopped, why would the situation have suddenly turned into this bizarre state?"

"How did she dodge that sword? And where did the arrow in my body come from...?"

"Etc."

Just as Gao Xia was about to exert force with his fingers, Guyue Xuyu stopped him.

She saw Zhang Lingqi's eyes.

That's the look in the eyes of a desperate person who has completely disregarded life and death.

A thought suddenly occurred to Guyue Xuyu.

The Desolate God Society recently suffered heavy losses and is in dire need of manpower, especially top-tier combatants.

Bringing them under our control would be a good option.

"Who exactly are you?"

Guyue Xuyu asked coldly.

Gao Xia understood immediately and pulled a small box out of his pocket.

Upon opening the box, a worm was found crawling inside.

"This is a precious treasure bestowed upon us personally by the Imperial Advisor; it's called the [Truth-Telling Gu]."

Gao Xia held the insect in her hand, her smile sinister.

"It's a one-time use item; once it's inside someone's brain, they won't be able to utter a single lie."

As she spoke, Gao Xia forcibly shoved the insect into Zhang Lingqi's ear!

Zhang Lingqi groaned, feeling a sharp pain deep in his brain.

Seeing that the Truth-Telling Gu had taken effect, Guyue Xuyu began his interrogation from his superior position.

"First question, are you Dragon God's Claws?"

Zhang Lingqi gritted his teeth, and because of the rules of the Truth-Telling Gu, he blurted it out.

"No."

Guyue Xuyu nodded slightly, seemingly unsurprised by the answer, and then asked the second question:

"So, what exactly is your relationship with the Dragon God? What have you done together?"

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Lingqi suddenly fell silent.

His eyes began to move uncontrollably.

This wasn't because he was using sheer willpower to force himself to stay silent, but rather...

The [Truth-Telling Gu] that was lurking deep in his brain was currently experiencing some kind of logical conflict and was resisting!

The Truth-Telling Gu was currently following Zhang Lingqi's brain nerves, greedily watching his long river of memories.

,

The attempt is to extract the most authentic answer.

However, when Guyue Xuyu's second question came...

The Truth-Telling Gu was shocked to discover that two completely different ideas were simultaneously unfolding in this man's mind.

Even paradoxical time-segment memories!

One is the present, while the other is filled with a sense of reset, death, and destruction!

What on earth is going on?!

Just as the poor worm was feeling confused and was about to investigate...

An anomaly has occurred!

At the end of that river of time that should never have existed, in this Abyss of memory...

Suddenly, an eye...

They opened their eyes!

Open your eyes at the end of the river of time!

The Truth-Telling Gu was enveloped by a pressure that transcended dimensions!

At the end of that long river of time, it vaguely saw...

A figure holding a long spear stood there!

Other side...

I just glanced at it casually!

"Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

The moment that gaze fell upon it, the [Truth-Telling Gu] let out a scream!

It died on the spot in fear!

It dissipated from Zhang Lingqi's mind!
