Before he could make a move, a torrent of heat completely enveloped him, and the extreme heat transformed into flames on the ancient robes, unleashing a violent energy upon the deity.
A spark of light rekindled in his eyes, and in that light, he seemed to see his former glory, his splendor beyond the heavens, his pride before countless cultivators, and his form that had never stiffened or withered.
That was him back then!
Once a cultivator, he was bestowed the title of an ancient god, standing at the edge of all the heavens and myriad realms, gazing up at the sky, his unyielding head never bowing.
That was his glory, and also the glory of an era.
But these glorious pasts have all turned into endless darkness over time, and in the long river of history, even they, as gods, will fall.
The immortal era that once belonged to them has passed; the fire in their eyes turned into Eternity darkness in an instant, and a pile of human-shaped ashes fell into the heat.
An ancient deity has perished!
Clang!
The short sword, amidst the clash of sword lights, let out a mournful cry.
The sword light on the opposite side seized the opportunity and suddenly leaped up, slashing the short sword into the sea of fire with a "clang". A streak of light quickly fell, and the stream of light swept across the sea of fire and swirled back behind.
The bronze blade is hidden in the boiling magma; it will be buried forever in the earth's crust along with its master!
Rumble!
The magic seal above Xu Long suddenly plummeted downwards.
A moment after sealing the magic seal, he swiftly annihilated a deity.
But at this moment, the seal broke through the sealing effect, and a series of muffled sounds came from the curtain wall above.
The divine seal arrived with tremendous force; before the curtain could even crack, it was shattered by the immense Magic Power.
Xu Long, trapped inside the curtain wall, was locked in by a powerful energy. He had no time to dodge and could only escape into the lava waves below.
boom!
A deafening roar erupted above the magma surge.
The cracked magic seal was instantly enveloped by a layer of blazing flames, while Xu Long below had a ferocious expression on his face.
His robes burst into flames. As the magic seals fell, he narrowly escaped the volcanic eruption, but the surging lava contained violent energy.
At this moment, Xu Long was engulfed in flames, with viscous lava clinging to his body, and his previously restored skin was now being scorched and cracking open again.
Amidst the blood and gore, flames suddenly ignited, and a surge of excruciating pain erupted from Xu Long's body as his Body of Oblivion rapidly repaired his injuries.
Xu Long was like a scorching hot meteorite, tumbling and undulating in the magma waves.
The power of the seal above his head vanished after it shattered, but the energy fluctuations within the earth's crust were becoming increasingly intense.
Xu Long channeled all his Magic Power into his body. He sealed his soul upon entering the magma, preventing the violent energy within from causing him to go mad.
After the Celestial Phenomenon have absorbed the heat and flames from outside the body, the Body of Oblivion will automatically repair itself. At that time, Xu Long's body will return to normal after enduring the excruciating pain.
His fiery figure moved swiftly, his destination still the Center.
The ancient gods possessed the aura of the Heaven Patroler, and when a god perished, the Heaven Patroler might sense this location.
At this moment, Xu Long needed to race against time, as the power of the Heaven Patroler was incomparable to that of these two gods.
Before he could get very far, a loud noise suddenly came from behind.
With a loud "boom," the majestic body of the Dharma Body was pierced through in an instant, and the energy within it leaked out, causing the body to become illusory.
The once menacing, fanged face was no longer intimidating. When a bronze dagger was thrust forward, the illusory body shattered completely behind it.
The god coldly watched Xu Long from above the sea of fire, having just witnessed Xu Long annihilate his companions with lightning speed.
This ancient remnant is not only experienced in combat, but also uses particularly bizarre methods.
The Dharma Body had been entangled with him for a long time, and he thought his companion's Dharma seal would take his life.
But now it seems that apart from grimacing in pain, Xu Long, who was reborn from the flames, is actually not seriously injured!
The deity's gaze flickered as it watched Xu Long, finally settling on the enormous array diagram behind him.
This array-patterned treasure is strange!
The thought had barely formed when a whooshing sound reached his ears.
The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air was very familiar to the god; he knew without turning around that it was Xu Long's sword light coming.
The short sword in front of him suddenly changed its trajectory, and the flames on the lava surface were abruptly halted after being swept away by the short sword.
With an aura that seemed to transcend the heavens, the short sword and its light intertwined, suppressing the energy within the surging waves of magma behind them once again.
After wielding the short sword, the deity quickly formed hand seals when facing Xu Long.
He knew that his opponent's methods were quite strange and frequent, so if he wanted to capture him, he had to win by using his own speed and immense energy.
But while the deity could form hand seals quickly, Xu Long was even faster!
After the sword light swirled and held back the short sword, Xu Long was above the lava, immediately focused his attention on his own array diagram.
The Nebula in the Celestial Phenomenon continued to absorb the surging heat, and the atmosphere in the area had become extremely violent.
The deity opposite him was already enveloped in a wave of heat, and as the energy accumulated, he sensed a dangerous aura within it.
He felt as if he were being compressed into a sealed can, and as the energy was continuously compressed, his pressure increased dramatically.
The deity felt uneasy. He quickly formed a hand seal in his palm, and his magical Magic Power condensed in his hands.
Amidst the violent energy, a solidified magic seal, carrying immense power, pressed down upon Xu Long.
On the other hand, Xu Long retreated rapidly on the lava, and the array behind him stopped rotating.
Then it trembled slightly in the air, and the heat that had been sucked in from the Celestial Phenomenon was released.
Boom boom boom!
A series of violent explosions suddenly rang out around the deity.
The violent energy was compressed to its limit and then released completely in a single moment.
With a devastating energy, a series of explosions occurred within the earth's crust.
The deity within was greatly alarmed, for this energy was far beyond his control.
At that moment, the energy shockwave from the explosion raged across the area, and he was right at the center of the explosion.
Waves of intense energy surged through his body, and even the god, who was like a living dead, felt intense pain within his body.
Meanwhile, the energy from the explosion also stirred the magma below, causing the boiling magma to rise with the shockwave.
The surging heat stirred up energy, and within it, the deity looked up at the sky, his deeply furrowed face contorted with a ferocious expression.
He was at the epicenter of the explosion, with intense energy shockwaves raging around him.
The continuous shockwaves seemed to tear his body apart, and even his soul felt a burning pain.
Unable to escape the surging energy, he could only use all his magic Magic Power to form a light shield to protect himself. Meanwhile, the short sword behind him was entangled by the sword light and could not easily turn around to protect its master.
Only then did he realize just how bizarre Xu Long's endless stream of methods truly were.
The continuous explosions had stirred up the heat waves within the magma, and the slag layer beneath their feet had turned into a vast sea of fire. Surrounded by extreme heat, even the gods felt they were about to perish.
Waves of heat kept surging in, and the energy that seeped into the body surged and crashed through the meridians.
The Magic Power within his body was already showing signs of becoming uncontrollable. He braced himself against a layer of light shield in front of him, searching for an opening amidst the rolling explosions.
At this moment, he swiftly released the magic seal and arrived in front of Xu Long.
The Dharma seal struck with a heavy force, and even as Xu Long retreated rapidly, it managed to catch up with him.
Only when they got close did they sense a divine aura emanating from it, indicating that it had already locked onto them and would relentlessly pursue them no matter how they tried to escape.
The pressure on Xu Long suddenly increased dramatically; he felt the energy within the magic seal was about to erupt.
At this moment, he kept leaping up and down in the sea of fire, trying to create some distance between himself and the waves of lava beneath him.
Because at that moment he could already sense that the energy accumulated in the magma wave behind him was about to erupt.
Before he could get very far, an energy shockwave came from behind him.
A deafening roar erupted from the massive shockwave, and he instinctively pushed open the curtain wall to defend himself.
Then, I felt a lightness in my body as the magma waves below were swept up by the energy shockwave, and an extremely violent energy raged outside the curtain wall.
Xu Long's body tumbled in the magma waves, the extreme heat instantly igniting the curtain wall, and the new curtain wall that was constantly solidifying inside was shattered by the energy shockwave.
A divine seal was detonated behind his body, creating a vast sea of fire within the earth's crust.
The continuous sea of fire ignited the slag in the darkness, and the originally solid underground layer was also turned into a scalding liquid under the raging fire and high temperature.
The rumbling sound continued, as the surging energy raged through the magma waves, causing intense heat that covered the entire Earth's core.
The previous battle between Xu Long and the two gods had compressed violent energy into the magma.
At this moment, after the explosion of the Dharma Seal and the Spiritual Qi Bombardment Xu Long's spiritual energy, the suppressed violent energy could no longer be controlled.
The surging energy was poured into the magma wave, and the boiling magma erupted violently as if stimulated.
The "bang bang" sounds echoed continuously from behind, indicating that the Earth's core was now a molten lava field.
The violent energy was completely out of control, and under the smelting heat of the high temperature, a wave of heat rose up above the Earth's core.
Below was a surging mass of magma, containing extremely violent energy.
The violent energy was originally formless, but under the intense heat, it actually took shape.
At this moment, carrying high temperatures and flames, it surged above the magma like an angry dragon, roaring and churning, trying to devour all living things within the earth's crust.
The gods within the sea of fire were instantly devoured by the raging dragon, and the intense heat relentlessly pressed down upon them.
A series of muffled, rolling sounds echoed through the area, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse, as if it were a projection of Hell.
After the deity was devoured by the raging dragon, the light shield in front of him shattered suddenly, and scalding energy instantly enveloped him.
At this moment, the spirit felt a strong sense of suffocation, having exhausted all energy in the extreme heat.
His simple robes turned to ashes in the raging fire, and his aged body did not struggle in the sea of flames, letting the fire consume him.
As the body disintegrated amidst the flames, a brilliance seemed to rekindle in the creature's turbid eyes.
A look of relief immediately appeared on his deeply lined face, and the worries that had lingered between his brows for countless years vanished.
Perhaps he had been waiting for this moment for a long time!
In a forbidden land far removed from the heavens, within the darkest depths of the earth's crust, in endless gloom.
Even the once lofty and supreme ancient gods will decay, even the once powerful and Undying and Indestructible Body will stiffen, and even the glory that once shone throughout the myriad realms will come to an end.
Their era has passed, but they continue to eke out a living in this dark core of the earth.
He watched helplessly as his Undying and Indestructible Body aged, his soul became dull, and even the bronze short sword that once roared beyond the heavens was sheathed and sealed away.
The firelight in the god's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He turned back thoughtfully to look at the two streaks of light in the sea of fire.
Despite being amidst the surging heat, one streak of light still possessed a formidable power.
Its entire body was a deep, translucent red, as dazzling as the sun, and the sword energy it emitted had already completely suppressed the bronze short sword.
The aura emanating from it truly possessed a fraction of the might of Heaven Patroler!
As he turned around, another streak of light seemed to sense something, emitting a mournful sword cry amidst the surging heat.
The bronze short sword had already undergone drastic changes in shape under the intense heat of the fire, and was no longer effective against the sword light.
At this moment, it abandoned the sword light and swirled rapidly in the heat flow, sensing its master's last thoughts.
That gaze was like a farewell to an old friend, leaving each other with a final sense of longing.
We once fought beyond the heavens, spreading glory throughout the myriad realms. Together, you and I ushered in a brand new era!
But you were sealed in a sword sheath for countless years, while I have grown old and decayed.
All that former glory and splendor has been buried in darkness.
The cold gleam of your sword when you draw it remains as strong as ever, but my ambitions are no longer what they once were.
Let's say our final goodbyes amidst the flames, old friends who were once inseparable!
Boom!
After a muffled thud, a surge of lava erupted, instantly engulfing a figure.
The glory in the god's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he managed a weak smile, as if he had returned to his own era.
Clang!
The deformed bronze dagger emitted its final cry, a sound filled with a mournful and tragic tone.
It followed the figure amidst the rolling waves of lava, and then plunged in without hesitation.
With a whoosh, a humanoid liquid emerged from the magma waves; the former god had now disintegrated.
Even as the solution floats, the neat appearance of the robes can still be seen, and the gold collar on them still shines brightly in the flames!
The second ancient deity has fallen!
After the bronze short sword spun around, the sword light also instantly broke free from the heat.
