Slay!!!

Gu Sheng looked down at the Slaughter City, now reduced to a sea of fire and ruins, and let out a cold snort.

Following this, he turned his body, transforming into a streak of golden light that vanished instantly into the collapsing tunnel.

Only the raging inferno remained, burning silently amidst the ruins, burying this land of sin in the dust of history.

The golden streak of light darted rapidly through the dim, crumbling tunnel.

Massive boulders crashed down all around, but the moment they neared that golden radiance, they were shattered into powder by an invisible force.

Gu Sheng's expression remained calm, his eyes fixed on the exit ahead, his momentum never faltering.

However, the very moment he was about to burst out of the underground passage, the tremors shaking the entire tunnel stopped with eerie suddenness.

The falling debris and collapsing earth froze in mid-air, creating a bizarre and unnatural scene.

The scorching temperature of the Holy Fire in the air plummeted, replaced by a heavy pressure laden with the aura of endless slaughter and destruction.

This pressure seeped out from the Void, instantly shrouding the entire underground space.

Gu Sheng halted his movement, hovering in mid-air.

He tilted his head slightly, looking toward the depths of the tunnel.

In the direction of the ruins previously consumed by the Holy Fire, a terrifying dark red light was now condensing frantically.

Contained within that light was a power that transcended the mortal limits of this world.

"Finally couldn't sit still, could you?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled upward, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

Destroying the Slaughter City was not only to cut off Tang San's path of retreat but also to force out the true master behind this land of sin.

Hum!

A strange vibration suddenly echoed through the Void.

In the underground space that had already collapsed, the rock walls above began to dissolve inch by inch, turning into nothingness.

A massive dark red vortex swirled slowly in the firmament, with dark red lightning flickering madly at its center.

Every flash of that lightning was accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the entire world were trembling under this power.

Immediately following, a giant projection over a hundred meters tall descended slowly from the dark red vortex.

The projection was clad in dark red demonic armor, engraved with countless hideous Ghost patterns, and held a massive blood-colored heavy sword in each hand.

A cold mask covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with a ghostly green light.

With the appearance of this projection, the entire world turned blood-red.

The air was filled with an intensely thick scent of blood, and the wails of countless vengeful spirits echoed through the Void.

This was none other than the projection of the Asura God, one of the five supreme gods of the God Realm.

The Asura God Projection looked down at Gu Sheng, his ghostly green eyes devoid of any human emotion.

"Mortal, you have overstepped."

A grand and majestic voice descended from the firmament, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.

This voice carried the weight of absolute judgment, like a heavenly law, intending to erase every living soul below.

Gu Sheng stood in the Void, his body remaining as straight as a pine, completely unaffected by the pressure of the god's projection.

With one hand behind his back and the Sword of Holy Spirit in the other pointing diagonally at the ground, he spoke indifferently:

"Overstepped?"

"On this continent, there is no such thing as overstepping for anything I wish to do."

Hearing Gu Sheng's words, the dark red light in the Asura God Projection's eyes flared violently.

"Arrogant."

"You have destroyed my place of inheritance and killed my chosen successor; you have committed a monstrous crime."

"Today, this god shall act on behalf of Heaven to mete out punishment, casting your soul into the Nine Netherworlds to suffer the torment of karmic fire for eternity."

The voice of the Asura God Projection boomed like rolling thunder, echoing incessantly across the sky.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng threw his head back and laughed, his laughter filled with contempt and disdain.

"Acting on behalf of Heaven?"

"You are merely an enforcer of the God Realm; what right do you have to represent Heaven?"

"As for your chosen successors, whether it be Tang Chen or Tang San, they are not worth mentioning in my eyes."

"I killed them because I chose to; what can you possibly do about it?"

Gu Sheng's words were overbearing, showing absolutely no regard for this supreme god of the God Realm.

The Asura God Projection clearly had not expected that a mere mortal would dare to speak to him with such an attitude.

"You seek death."

Two simple words were spat out.

The dark red vortex above the firmament instantly boiled.

The Asura God Projection raised its blood-colored greatsword high, and endless killing intent surged frantically toward the blade.

That massive greatsword expanded several times over in an instant, radiating a blinding blood-red light.

"Asura Judgment!"

With a thunderous roar, the blood-colored greatsword descended upon Gu Sheng with the force of a world-splitting blow.

As this strike was unleashed, the entire void was torn asunder, leaving behind a massive black rift.

Violent spatial turbulence raged within the fissure, only to be instantly pulverized upon nearing the blood-red sword light.

Facing this strike from a deity, a flicker of seriousness finally crossed Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Well come!"

He let out a loud shout, and the Holy Spirit Divine Power within him began to circulate wildly.

The Sword of Holy Spirit in his hand erupted with a brilliant, dazzling golden light—a light so pure and vast that it instantly dispersed the majority of the surrounding blood-red hue.

"Holy Spirit Verdict!"

Gripping his longsword, Gu Sheng shot into the sky, swinging his blade to meet the descending blood-red giant sword.

A thousand-meter-long golden sword beam soared upward, colliding violently with the blood-red giant sword in mid-air.

BOOM!

A deafening roar, beyond the power of words to describe, exploded across the heavens and earth.

Golden Holy Fire and dark red killing intent intertwined, collided, and annihilated one another in the sky.

The terrifying shockwave of energy transformed into a visible wave of air, sweeping out in all directions.

Slaughter City, already reduced to ruins below, was ground into dust under the impact of this aftermath.

The earth cracked, countless massive fissures spreading like spiderwebs as rolling magma surged from deep underground, turning the region into a living hell.

In mid-air, Gu Sheng's figure shuddered slightly, and he retreated a hundred meters.

He looked at his numb right hand, his eyes devoid of any fear, flashing instead with a hint of wild ecstasy.

Because, in the collision of that very strike, the third seal that had long remained dormant within him had actually begun to loosen.

Gu Sheng was no ordinary person in this world; the power within him was too vast, and to prevent this body from collapsing upon his arrival, he had personally placed nine seals upon himself.

Each time a seal was broken, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

Now, he was at the critical juncture of breaking the third seal.

And the immense pressure brought by the divine projection was the perfect catalyst.

"Again!"

Gu Sheng laughed heartily, his figure flickering as he took the initiative to charge toward the Asura God Projection.

Wielding the Sword of Holy Spirit, he transformed into a streak of golden lightning, flashing incessantly across the blood-red sky.

Every flash left a deep, bone-piercing golden wound upon the body of the Asura God Projection.

The Asura God Projection was incensed beyond measure.

"Humble mortal, how dare you wound my divine form!"

It brandished its six arms, weaving six blood-colored greatswords into an airtight net of slaughter, shrouding Gu Sheng within.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dense, continuous sounds of collision rang out across the sky.

Each impact was accompanied by the shattering of vast swathes of the void.

Gu Sheng moved frantically within the net of slaughter; although minor wounds began to appear on his body, his fighting spirit grew ever more fervent.

As the battle progressed, he could clearly feel the invisible shackles within him cracking.

The golden gate that sealed his terrifying power was trembling violently under the impact of the divine pressure.

The Asura God Projection seemed to sense that something was amiss.

It discovered with shock that this mortal showed no signs of exhaustion; on the contrary, his aura was growing stronger by the moment.

"Impossible. Are you using my power to break through?"

For the first time, a ripple of emotion appeared in the voice of the Asura God Projection.

For a high and mighty deity, this was nothing short of a supreme humiliation.

"Only just realized?"

"Unfortunately, it is already too late."

Gu Sheng halted his movement, hovering in the void as he wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the Asura God Projection, his eyes filled with mockery.

"To thank you, I shall now let you witness what true power is."

Having said this, Gu Sheng slowly closed his eyes.

He abandoned all defenses, withdrawing every ounce of Holy Spirit Divine Power within him deep into his divine soul.

Seeing this, the killing intent in the eyes of the Asura God Projection surged violently.

"Arrogant fool, be destroyed by this god!"

He poured all his divine power into the blood-colored greatsword in his hands.

In an instant, the greatsword transformed into a pillar of blood-red light that reached from the heavens to the earth, within which the faint phantom of the Asura God Kingdom emerged.

"Asura: Blade of Termination!"

The Asura God Projection gripped the sword with both hands and, with the momentum to destroy the world, slashed down fiercely at the defenseless Gu Sheng.

This strike was the full-force blow of a deity.

The surrounding space turned into the Void under this sword, collapsing into a pitch-black hole.

Moving faster than light, the blood-red pillar instantly swallowed Gu Sheng's body.

Rumble—

The terrifying blood-red radiance dyed the entire world a deathly, dark crimson.

Under such a horrific attack, any mortal creature should have been reduced to dust in an instant.

However, Gu Sheng, at the center of the crimson light, was enduring unimaginable pain and transformation.

Deep within his divine soul, that massive golden seal, under the frenzied impact of the Asura God's power, could finally hold no longer.

Crack!

A crisp sound of shattering rang clearly through Gu Sheng's mind.

Immediately following.

Dense cracks instantly spread across the entire golden gate.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the third seal within Gu Sheng's body shattered at this very moment!

A terrifying power, impossible to describe in words, erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years.

This power was filled with Sanctity, ancient and noble, carrying supreme majesty as it swept through Gu Sheng's entire body.

His body underwent a heaven-shaking transformation in an instant.

His previously damaged meridians were repaired and widened several times over by this force.

His bones turned pure gold, each one carved with profound golden runes.

His long hair turned a dazzling, pure gold, dancing wildly behind him without a breeze.

His eyes, originally pitch-black, were now pure gold, resembling two suns hanging high in the sky, radiating a light that no one dared to look upon directly.

Boom!

A terrifying wave of Soul Power erupted from within Gu Sheng.

His cultivation began to soar wildly at this moment.

Level 95...

Level 96...

Level 97...

Level 98...

Almost in the blink of an eye, his Soul Power broke through the limits of a Titled Douluo, reaching Level 99!

Limit Douluo!

Moreover, this was no ordinary Limit Douluo; this was a Limit Douluo possessing a god-level body and divine soul!

His aura became unfathomably deep, as vast as the starry sky, making it impossible for anyone to gauge his depth.

The blood-red pillar of light that had originally swallowed him began to collapse inch by inch under the impact of this terrifying power.

Golden Holy Fire swept out from Gu Sheng's body, instantly burning away the surrounding crimson radiance.

Standing in the void, feeling the earth-shattering power within him, Gu Sheng couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Is this the power of the third seal?"

He clenched his fist, and the void let out a dull boom in response.

He could feel that his current strength was more than ten times greater than before.

If he had previously needed to rely on certain methods to contend with a divine projection, then now, crushing the projection before him would be as simple as crushing an ant.

Watching Gu Sheng slowly emerge from the blood-red light, the Asura God Projection finally revealed a look of shock in his deep green eyes.

"Th-this is impossible!"

"What kind of monster are you?"

"How could a human possess such a terrifying rate of breakthrough? The power within you... it is absolutely not something that should exist in this world!"

For the first time, terror crept into the voice of the Asura God Projection.

He could clearly sense that the pressure radiating from Gu Sheng at this moment was enough to make even his divine projection tremble from the depths of his soul.

Gu Sheng looked at the utterly shocked Asura God Projection, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold, mocking smile.

"I told you, in my eyes, gods are nothing more than this."

"Now, the game is over."

Gu Sheng slowly raised his right hand.

The Sword of Holy Spirit, which had been hovering beside him, erupted with a golden light a hundred times more brilliant than the sun.

In that instant, the entire sky was dyed completely gold.

The dark red vortex that had originally shrouded the firmament dissolved like snow under the scorching sun as the golden light shone upon it.

Gu Sheng gripped the Sword of Holy Spirit. Without using any flashy soul skills, he simply swung the blade toward the Asura God Projection before him in an unremarkable motion.

"Slash."

A single, indifferent word escaped his lips.

In a heartbeat, a golden sword aura, impossible to describe in words, instantly tore through the void.

Wherever this sword aura passed, time seemed to cease its flow, and space was perfectly cleaved in two.
