God War

Amid the starry sky, ten thousand bolts of chaos thunder filled the void like True Dragons descending into the world. As they churned and roared, they carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, as though the Heavenly Dao had flown into a rage and sought to cleanse everything with rolling heavenly thunder.

On Ziwei Star, He Mu's expression was grave, and the fury in his heart burned even fiercer than the savage thunder in the void. He had never imagined that the black mist would dare emerge to wreak havoc and poison all living beings in the universe when he had made his presence known so openly and stood in the prime of his life.

This was an outrageous provocation. Through the vilest means imaginable, the fiend of black mist was testing the limits of the reigning Heaven Venerable at the pinnacle of his life. At this moment, He Mu thought of nothing except immediately suppressing the turmoil and calling its source to account.

He Mu took a single step, and the void seemed to melt. His figure vanished at once, and in the next instant, he appeared at the Cosmic Frontier, where Demon Shadow was slaughtering living beings.

As He Mu arrived in fury to kill, his supreme divine might, unrivaled throughout heaven and earth, erupted without restraint for the first time. The myriad Daos wailed around him, as though they could no longer withstand the boundless power of a Heaven Venerable and would shatter completely in the next instant.

Piercing killing intent swept across heaven and earth, almost taking tangible form and stabbing through everyone until their whole bodies ached.

Behind He Mu's head, the Wuliang Dao Wheel slowly turned, rising and falling as it radiated an immortal Dao essence that approached that of an immortal.

The nearly inexhaustible power of faith from all living beings coiled around it, making this Heaven Venerable's Dao weapon appear even more sacred and imperishable. As its aura spread, the void shattered instantly, as though the entire vast universe could no longer withstand this mighty power and would be utterly annihilated beneath the raging Wuliang tribulation light.

Wuliang tribulation light capable of destroying the myriad Daos shot forth, ready to pulverize everything before it. Shockingly sharp beams of divine radiance crisscrossed, shredding the void as they surged straight toward the heavily armored Demon Shadow.

In his towering rage, He Mu struck with all his strength from the outset, holding nothing back in his resolve to kill.

The Wuliang Dao Wheel blazed with immortal light and moved at He Mu's will. Supreme divine might surged forth, accompanied by thousands upon thousands of streaks of Wuliang tribulation light. They manifested the true essence of battle, transforming into world-shaking immortal radiance to deliver the most savage killing blow against his enemy.

Facing this near-immortal strike, Demon Shadow remained utterly indifferent, as though he possessed no emotions. Rather than retreat even an inch, he erupted with black radiance and charged straight into the immortal beam, bearing a demonic will that sought to plunge the entire universe into corruption and decay.

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, and the stellar rivers lost their light. That beam of immortal radiance seemed to become the sole and eternal existence in the universe as it collided head-on with Demon Shadow, robbing the entire cosmos of sound.

Boom-

As though heaven and earth were being cleaved apart at creation, terrifying power erupted from the heart of the collision, sending out dreadful shock waves that shifted the stars.

In the next instant, Demon Shadow burst out from the heart of the explosion. His heavy armor had cracked and shattered, and black blood seeped through its fissures, exuding an aura of deathly stillness.

He Mu moved again. His hands traced incomparably profound paths, leaving imperishable Dao traces in the void. At last, they formed a Dao Seal, archaic and unfathomable, with no other fluctuations emanating from it.

Yet the moment the Dao Seal formed, the demonic will that had been raging through the universe scattered. The bloody hue and killing intent in the void also suddenly dissipated, and the entire universe became immersed in a tranquil, far-reaching Dao resonance, vast and immeasurable.

Then He Mu launched the Dao Seal, sending it toward Demon Shadow at a seemingly unhurried speed.

At the sight of the approaching Dao Seal, Demon Shadow seemed to sense the threat of death. His mind, previously still as an ancient well, finally stirred. Ignoring his injuries, he forcibly summoned all his demonic energy and likewise formed a fist seal of supreme power and evil, blasting it toward the archaic Dao Seal.

Clang-

When the two met, a sound like clashing metal actually rang out.

In the next instant, the Dao Seal destroyed the fist seal outright and continued toward Demon Shadow. It struck him heavily, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood from his heart and smashing him straight into the chaos at the Cosmic Frontier.

Clearly, He Mu's strike had grievously wounded Demon Shadow.

The gravely wounded Demon Shadow roared, seemingly casting aside all his reservations at last. The black radiance around him instantly ignited into towering demonic flames. A Dao intent heralding the end of all things rose up, tainting the entire universe with an aura of world-ending destruction.

At that very instant, Demon Shadow's aura climbed relentlessly, as though he had broken through some shackles. By the end, it seemed to have reached the same level as He Mu before him, and all things threatened to sink into oblivion beneath this destructive will.

So vast was this demonic will that even the Forbidden Zones were stirred. Gazes that were unfathomable, piercing, or indifferent shot out from the great Forbidden Zones. They belonged to Supremes who had severed their own cultivation in ages past, now awakened from their deepest slumber and using their divine senses to observe this God War worthy of being recorded in history.

Neither paid any heed to the gazes of these Forbidden Zone Supremes, nor did they exchange a word. In the next instant, both moved in their true bodies, transforming into eternal immortal light and colliding violently.

One was accompanied by immeasurable immortal light and endless faith; the other surged with black radiance and towering demonic flames. They collided again and again, swiftly breaking apart each time.

Once, twice, three times...

Every collision released fluctuations that shook heaven and earth. The ferocity of this battle had already exceeded everyone's imagination. Even the collapse of heaven and earth, the wailing of ghosts, and the howling of gods could not describe how fierce and terrifying their battle was.

Vast swathes of stellar rivers dimmed, stretches of the void shattered, the myriad Daos wailed, and space and time trembled. Even the Forbidden Zone Supremes and the pitch-black giant face concealed behind the scenes felt astonishment and dread.

Their battlefield was no longer confined to the Cosmic Frontier. They fought from one region to another, and a Heaven Venerable's blood splattered down. Even someone as powerful as He Mu shed blood in a battle of such intensity, unable to secure a swift victory.

"Kill..."

Boom!

Across the boundless heavens, star fields exploded and meteorites hurtled through utter chaos. All the realms of the heavens were battered into a boiling frenzy.

"A world-ending calamity! May the Immeasurable Heaven Venerable protect us..."

All living beings trembled. This battle was no less fierce than the most terrifying Dark Turmoil. If it continued like this, the universe itself would be smashed apart, and every race would suffer disaster.

Fortunately, the battle was already approaching its end. He Mu shouted for the kill, and Demon Shadow roared. Countless stars shook, and the myriad Daos threatened to shatter. No one below the supreme realm could observe this battle anymore. In this war, those beneath the rank of Heaven Venerable could only pray for He Mu, hoping that the Immeasurable Heaven Venerable would quell the turmoil and return victorious.

"Aah..."

At last, Demon Shadow bellowed. Having reached his utmost extreme, he began to perish, falling from his pinnacle. The black radiance stretching tens of thousands of feet around him vanished in an instant. Beneath the Wuliang Dao Wheel's tribulation light, his flesh exploded, leaving only a pitch-black primordial spirit lingering in the void.

This black primordial spirit was exceedingly strange, as though someone had stitched it together from several different races. Black pus and blood seemed to drip from it.

He Mu's immeasurable divine sense erupted, transforming into a primordial spirit Dao sword that slashed down with a thunderous crash, utterly grinding away Demon Shadow's last vestige of life.

Vaguely, as the primordial spirit Dao sword descended, a hint of release actually seemed to emerge from that primordial spirit.

Sensing all this, He Mu stood in the universe, silent.

At last, the aftershocks of the great battle subsided, and silence returned to the universe.

A great sect set up a divine mirror to observe the battlefield.

In the battlefield amid the void, only He Mu remained standing alone, his white robes stained with blood.

This chapter seems a little longer than the last one. I accidentally got carried away, but I was worried you'd think I was padding things out if I split it into two chapters, so I'll leave it like this for now.
