"Tribulation Flame..."
The Clown knelt on the ground, staring at the wisp of black flame suspended deep within the countless Gengjin Divine Iron.
That was a forbidden fire capable of burning away all time and lifespan, and it was his only hope of turning the tide at this moment.
The Watcher Scarecrow followed the Clown's gaze and looked over.
The moment it saw the black flame clearly, it instinctively took a big step back!
He could never forget that deep-seated fear!
That's... that's!
"Use this as a candle to honor the rest of your life..."
"Burn to ashes!"
Deep in my memory, that man ignited it with this black flame.
Powerless...
A complete and utter sense of powerlessness.
There was no possibility of escape, no ability to resist.
At that moment, it could only watch helplessly as it was burned to Void.
"No... he is my god, I cannot fear his power..."
The Watcher Scarecrow, its straw covering its body trembling, clenched its fists, suppressing its fear.
It began to carefully observe its surroundings, searching for a way to break through this Death Mirror Array.
The same goes for the Clown.
The burning time characteristic of the Tribulation Flame is almost the natural enemy of this straw monster!
As long as I can get it first, this deadly situation can be reversed!
The Clown stared at the Gengjin Divine Iron mirrors around him, calculating the patterns of their movements.
The method of Watcher Scarecrow is much simpler and more direct.
"Go."
With a casual wave of its hand, a dozen straws and several small puppets scouted ahead.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Without a sound, several puppets touched the seemingly still Gengjin Divine Iron.
In an instant, it was shredded into countless particles by that spatial cutting force!
The other straws, however, deviated safely as they passed through certain gaps...
That is the Path to Survival!
Seeing Clown, the clown grew impatient.
The other party's cost of trial and error is too low!
If this monster manages to get the Tribulation Flame first, I will be the one who dies a gruesome death!
He was pondering a solution when...
The Clown noticed that the reflected light and shadow on those mirrors had periodic blind spots.
The Gengjin Divine Iron here contains many deadly traps.
Some are teleportation mirrors.
Even so, this is a game of Russian roulette where you gamble with your life!
If he takes even one wrong step, his body will be cut into hundreds of pieces!
Therefore, he died!
But as the Clown gazed at the unreachable black flame, he suddenly lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"The old woman still hasn't been found..."
"Nightmare, that idiot, still hasn't fulfilled his dream of having a home..."
How could I... have collapsed in such a lousy place?
The feigned cowardice in the Clown's eyes faded.
Without further hesitation, he lifted his foot and took the first step!
And this step is called...
Courage!
"This is impossible..."
The Watcher Scarecrow turned its head, its eyes filled with disbelief.
The Clown, with just one step, directly surpassed the progress it had made by testing the waters with puppets for half a day.
They were so close to that Tribulation Flame!
However, the closer one gets to the Tribulation Flame, the denser the surrounding fragments of Gengjin Divine Iron become.
At this moment, even the slightest change in the Clown's breathing...
They could all be instantly cut off or teleported to an unknown, deadly place.
But the Watcher Scarecrow did not utter a sound of mockery.
It immediately removed the puppets and Straw Entanglement, mimicking the Clown's manner.
He cautiously stepped into the formation himself, and with his powerful senses, he quickly caught up with the pace and arrived at the Clown's side.
The Clown remained motionless, sweat dripping into his eyes, but he dared not wipe it away.
He was observing.
These fragments of Gengjin Divine Iron are alive; they move like floating, swirling blades.
He must find that one and only opportunity to break through!
The Watcher Scarecrow is the same; a human and a monster, both confined to this small, deathly space, they stare at that cluster of flames.
Now!
The two of them simultaneously caught sight of that fleeting, perfect route and reached out their hands almost at the same time!
However, at that very moment!
"Buzz!"
A fragment of Gengjin Divine Iron, in a state of spatial disorder, was swept across by the airflow!
It stood perfectly in front of the Tribulation Flame!
Upon seeing that sharp, cold glint, the Watcher Scarecrow's survival instinct took over, and it subconsciously withdrew its hand!
And the Clown...
They ignored that divine iron!
"Pfft!!!"
The moment his right arm passed through the Gengjin Divine Iron, the spatial cutting twisted his flesh into a pretzel!
"Oh my!"
The excruciating pain made him feel like he was about to grind all his teeth to dust!
But he didn't stop!
That hand, now reduced to nothing but bones...
He fearlessly pierced through death and grabbed the Tribulation Flame!
"Boom!"
The Tribulation Flame ignited the Clown's entire arm, following the movement of his bones!
And those Gengjin Divine Iron that were originally floating haphazardly around them.
Upon sensing the aura of the Tribulation Flame, it trembled and fled in all directions!
"Are you crazy?!"
The Watcher Scarecrow watched as the Clown was consumed by black flames.
"You actually dared to let the Tribulation Flame ignite you!"
"Hahaha... I told you, you lost!"
The Clown was convulsing in pain, but he was laughing.
As the flames of Tribulation Flame burned, his golden hair was turning gray.
"Even if you steal countless Supernatural Ability, even if you're as strong as a Quasi-God..."
"But you imposter, you'll always lack something that truly belongs to the strong!"
That is courage!!!
With that, the Clown lunged at the Watcher Scarecrow without hesitation!
"Don't come any closer!"
The Watcher Scarecrow panicked and pulled out its [Raging Straw Axe].
He waved wildly at the Clown who lunged at him, retreating step by step.
The Clown See Through its fear of the Tribulation Flame at a glance.
He neither dodged nor avoided the Raging Straw Axe into his shoulder.
Then, he opened his arms, which were burning with Black Flame, and hugged the Watcher Scarecrow's body, knocking it to the ground!
"Enjoy it..."
"Let me tell you what true despair is!"
"Sizzle!"
The Tribulation Flame spread from the Clown's body to the Watcher Scarecrow!
The straw burst into towering black flames the moment it encountered the Tribulation Flame!
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
The Watcher Scarecrow let out a scream and kicked the Clown away.
"No! No! I've finally been given a new lease on life!"
"Why! Why this damn ending again! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!!"
The Watcher Scarecrow is wandering around aimlessly.
Those Geng metal elements, fearing him, distanced themselves from him.
In desperation, it directly used the cross-dimensional power belonging to the BOSS and forcibly tore open a Spatial Portal.
Enveloped in Tribulation Flame, he fled inside.
The Clown fell to the ground and didn't chase after him.
He coughed up mouthfuls of blood, looked at the closing portal, and smiled.
He knew that once the monster was tainted by the Tribulation Flame, its fate was sealed.
The Clown dragged his burning remains out of the Gengjin Array and came to the five petrified sculptures.
"Nightmare... I have fulfilled your request..."
The Clown's vision was beginning to blur. "It's just a pity... the old woman... can't be found..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he collapsed in front of the five sculptures.
Just as he fell, a Tribulation Flame landed precisely on Guyue Xuyu's petrified skin.
"Click click click..."
Under the scorching heat of the Tribulation Flame, it began to crack and become brittle.
Then, with a loud bang, the stone skin crumbled and peeled off, revealing the flesh inside.
At the same time.
In the wilderness of Time Rift.
"No... no..."
"Stop burning me... I don't want to die..."
"I also want to... offer those treasures to the gods..."
The Watcher Scarecrow hesitated and stumbled across the wilderness.
The Tribulation Flame on its body were relentlessly devouring its last remaining form.
It desperately tried to activate its ability to transfer its main body, but it sensed all of its puppets.
It had long been turned to stone by that madwoman, extinguishing all its life force!
There is no way out.
"Why did this happen..."
"This time... I really tried my best to be a good person."
"But the ending was exactly the same as the previous two times..."
"No... it's not good... it's even worse than the previous two times."
"I can't believe it..."
He was killed by some nobody!
The Watcher Scarecrow can't run anymore.
Its legs were burned off by the Tribulation Flame, and it knelt down before a grove of trees.
Finally, it gazed at the Blood Moon that was gradually disappearing in the sky, awaiting its own destiny.
The end?
No, this is not the fate it deserves.
"You cannot die now."
"Otherwise, my plan will have been wasted."
Accompanied by a neutral tone.
Two figures appeared simultaneously on this desolate land.
A man emerged from the depths of the woods, holding Three-Point Double-Edged Spear upside down in his hand.
The other person, with short hair, hands in pockets, exuded confidence and arrogance.
When the tomboyish girl walked up to the Watcher Scarecrow.
The Tribulation Flame instantly extinguished and dissipated!
"I... am I saved?"
The Watcher Scarecrow raised its remaining upper body.
At that moment, it froze on the spot.
"That is... its god, and its benefactor."
The two met again.
They didn't speak, but simply gazed at each other, a look that seemed to last an eternity.
On the other side.
Chaotic Space Zone.
The Clown's Tribulation Flame had extinguished, and he lay unconscious on the ground.
Guyue Xuyu stood up, stretched out her jade-like hand, and grasped the Tribulation Flame Origin in her palm.
She glanced down at the Clown on the ground and said coldly.
"Well done. I'll remember your contribution, actor."
I hope your ultimate goal won't affect my plans.
As she finished speaking, she opened her palm, releasing a faint wisp of Tribulation Flame.
He brushed past the stone statues of the other four, releasing them from their seal.
However, the lifting of the lockdown is happening slowly.
Clearly, she deliberately slowed down in preparation for her next move.
Guyue Xuyu turned around and looked around at the Gengjin Divine Iron everywhere.
"I finally got my hands on the last major document for [Cold Moon's ] promotion."
"Not only that..."
She looked down at the Tribulation Flame dancing on her fingertips, "There's another incredible surprise."
"Then, let's begin the final refining process."
"Once [Cold Moon] breaks through to the Quasi-God level, it will be the death knell for those old fogies!"
"It will also be the Dragon God's death day!"
"And that blonde who attacked me! You won't escape either!"
She reached into her bosom and took out a sachet.
This was given to her by Gu Yueai herself before she entered the Time Rift.
It is said that it contains the catalyst that can be used to perfectly forge a Quasi-Divine Artifact weapon.
"Uncle... I will avenge Father."
"I will never let you down."
Guyue Xuyu untied the sachet.
But...
The moment the sachet was opened, there were no dazzling treasures inside!
There was only a tumor glowing with an eerie red light!
It even emitted a fishy stench!
Caught off guard, Guyue Xuyu was forced to close his eyes by the stench.
And in that very instant!
"Pfft!"
The red growth inside the sachet burst forth!
Several tentacles covered in barbs unfurled!
It was a tentacle monster the size of a fist!
It adhered directly to Guyue Xuyu's forehead!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Guyue Xuyu screamed in agony as she desperately tried to grab at the monster.
But the monster's tentacles had already pierced her scalp.
The barbed tentacles were burrowing deep into her skull!
"Chronos! Get... out of my way!"
Guyue Xuyu used her last ounce of willpower to forcibly activate her Supernatural Ability to erase time.
But just as the golden clock appeared behind her...
The whole world started to flicker!
It finally collapsed on the spot and disappeared!
The red tumor was forcibly erasing her spiritual power!
The laws of [Chronos] have been forcibly interrupted!
And on the other side, far away...
Deep within the Main God Palace in the Filth Starfield.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Within the dense Black Mist, the Abyssal Lord God let out a maniacal laugh that shook the galaxy.
"That cunning fellow, Naiya's hidden card has finally worked."
The phantom of the Abyssal Lord God churned within the Black Mist.
"Dragon God..."
"Over the years, apart from playing against each other remotely, we've never actually faced each other in person."
"Now... let me see for myself just how laughable your strength is, you slightly stronger ant!"
He laughed wildly.
Then, the countless scarlet eyes on that mountain of flesh began to close one by one, falling into a deep sleep.
His consciousness is following the coordinates of that tentacle monster, crossing the barrier, and forcibly descending!
"Get out of my head!!!"
Within the Time Rift, in a chaotic space.
Guyue Xuyu clutched his head in his hands, rolling on the ground in agony and screaming.
But how can the will of a mortal resist the possession of a High God?
The light in her eyes gradually faded, and her struggles became weaker and weaker.
Finally, her arms went limp, she fainted, and fell backward onto the Gengjin Divine Iron.
The silence lasted for three seconds.
The next moment.
Guyue Xuyu's body twitched.
The tentacle-like monster on her forehead rapidly wriggled and Fusion, eventually...
It actually transformed into a vertical pupil!
"Whoosh!"
That vertical pupil, along with Guyue Xuyu's previously tightly closed eyes, opened at this moment!
The coldness and arrogance were gone from those eyes; only a chaotic look remained, as if everything else were worthless.
Final Chapter...
It has already begun!
