The Superintendent's identity

Amidst the sighs, the Buddha statue formed from the Buddha collided with the Shenshu black Dharma Idol, just like two planets colliding, the Berserk shockwaves spreading outwards for dozens of miles.

Wherever it passed, life was annihilated, and layers of earth were blown away, as if it were a world-ending storm.

This level of battlefield is destined to be a no-go zone for life.

The Transcendent experts quickly retreated and erected their respective defensive measures to withstand the aftershocks of the battle between Buddha and Shenshu.

Besides martial artists, Transcendent experts from various systems also need to be careful, otherwise they are likely to be caught off guard and suffer unexpected setbacks.

In the chaos, the Bodhisattva Liuli appeared behind Sun Xuanji, her jade dagger slicing towards the enemy's throat.

After the Gu Race leaders temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, she used her unpredictable speed to set her sights on Sun Xuanji, who Third Rank rank.

This tactic of targeting the weak is simple yet effective; among the Transcendent experts of this era, no one is faster than her.

The difference between First Rank and Third Rank allows her to instantly kill enemies.

Unsurprisingly, Sun Xuanji's head flew off, but no blood flowed. It was a mechanical puppet covered with a human skin mask, housing only a wisp of Sun Xuanji's divine consciousness.

Liuli shattered the bronze bell with a single blow.

"Ding ding ding"

A clear light rose in the distance, and another figure in white appeared, vigorously striking the bronze bell.

Without a doubt, this is yet another puppet, and the bronze bell is new as well.

The real Sun Xuanji is nowhere to be found.

On the fair and smooth forehead of the Bodhisattva Liuli, a single blue vein stands out.

Although she could instantly kill Third Rank, the warlock was indeed too troublesome. Not only did he possess Teleportation Spell that allowed him to come and go as he pleased, but he was also extremely wealthy.

Having gained experience from numerous encounters with Buddhist Order Bodhisattva, Senior Brother Sun became even more cunning. He only played a supporting role, only sent out his magical artifacts to fight, and did not participate in the battle with his true body.

In this way, he will always be safe unless the magical artifact is exhausted.

As is widely known, Warlock is the most extravagant class.

Upon realizing she couldn't instantly kill Third Rank Heavenly Secrets Master, the Bodhisattva Liuli immediately changed her target. Theoretically, there were three people on this battlefield she could instantly kill.

Li Miaozhen, Yang Gong Hengyuan.

However, the Transcendent experts of the Great Feng were prepared for this, and almost all of them were in groups of two or three!

Hengyuan stayed close to Arhat Du'e and Kou Yangzhou; Li Miaozhen and Daoist Jinlian stood side by side; Yang Gong was under the protection of Zhao Shou's clear light.

In this situation, killing Du'e and Hengyuan is the best solution.

First, those of higher rank within the same system have an inherent advantage over those of lower rank. Second, by killing Du'e, the Fate of Mahayana Buddhism will flow back to the Buddha.

As for the combination of Confucian School and Daoist Order, the former's Words Become Law law is too shameless, while the latter's killing would not only diminish one's fortune but also incur Heavenly Retribution.

On such a battlefield, losing one's fortune means danger, not to mention incurring Heavenly Retribution.

Having made up her mind, the Bodhisattva Liuli immediately manifested the Pilgrim Dharma Idol, appearing silently before the Arhat Du'e, her jade dagger aimed at Du'e's brow.

During the process, the Formless Liuli Domain spread like water from her center.

It froze Kou Yangzhou's shocked expression, and also froze the somewhat blank expressions of Du'e and Hengyuan who had not yet reacted.

This is the Pilgrim Dharma Idol, whose speed surpasses that of a martial artist's crisis warning.

Seeing the three of them trapped, Zhao Shou and Yang Gong simultaneously recited:

"Don't move!"

With their combined efforts, along with the Confucian Crown and Carving Knife, they successfully stabilized the Bodhisattva Liuli.

However, this can only affect the First Rank Bodhisattva for a brief moment. To change the predicament of the Du'e, other things need to be done.

Zhao Shou flicked his finger, about to flick the Carving Knife to break through the Formless Liuli Domain.

Li Miaozhen and Daoist Jinlian simultaneously descended on their Sword Control, weakening Liuli's fortune while attacking the Bodhisattva who was not skilled in close combat.

However, pure Buddhist light descended from the sky, enveloping the area, followed by the sound of chanting and hymns.

This comes from the Bodhisattva Guangxian.

Amidst the chanting, the Daoist Jinlian and Li Miaozhen, protected by their golden bodies, were only slightly stunned; their fighting spirit was not immediately extinguished.

They cannot be completely immune to the power of First Rank Bodhisattva's Dharma Idol.

Zhao Shou and Yang Gong were affected; the former was unable to draw his Carving Knife. The two Confucian School cultivators were at peace at this moment, not wanting to fight, but only wanting to return to the academy to teach and educate.

The Confucian School Vast Righteous Qi of righteousness is said to be impervious to all evils, but this refers to evil thoughts in the spiritual realm, such as lust, greed, and lust.

Therefore, every Confucian School scholar possessed extremely noble character.

It is not immune to Daoist Order magic that is the Golden Elixir of the Golden Core.

Luo Yuheng swooped down, wielding his now-rust-free flying sword. The sword was wrapped in the power of the four elements of Earth, Wind, Water and Fire, making it resemble a colorful shooting star that illuminated the night with vibrant beauty.

With the destructive power of the Human Sect Sword Technique, supplemented by the magical power of Land Immortal, breaking through the Formless Liuli Domain is not difficult.

But then, a figure flashed in front of them. It was Gara, wearing a red and yellow robe, with half of his chest exposed and muscles like Jialuoshu, who blocked the dazzling meteor.

A mocking smile appeared on his rugged, dark face as he formed a mudra with his hands.

Buzz!

The folds in space were instantly smoothed out, and there was not even a breeze.

A solidified spatial barrier blocked Luo Yuheng's path.

The next second, the spatial barrier collapsed rapidly, and visible folds appeared in space, which then transformed into a raging storm that swept in all directions.

Luo Yuheng showed no joy, but instead revealed a hint of helplessness.

The two sides were fighting for a fleeting moment of life; even if she could pierce the Jialuoshu with her sword, Du'e would lose that chance of survival.

Moreover, she knew that her swordsmanship was no match for the Jialuoshu, the strongest in terms of overall strength and defense among the top-tier Buddhist Order First Rank.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Buddhist Order only has three Transcendent, each of whom is First Rank expert. On the Great Feng side, she is the only one who truly possesses First Rank combat power. Even if we rely on quantity to bring about a qualitative change, there are still too few Second Rank Transcendent.

Suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky, shattering the Formless Liuli Domain. Within the pillar of light, Asuro, with his jet-black skin, prominent brow bones, and a appearance that was both ugly and heroic, stood majestically.

The Bodhisattva Liuli beside him remained motionless, like a still painting, the tip of the jade knife in her hand already piercing the forehead of the Arhat Du'e.

Asuro casually waved his hand, and the image of the Bodhisattva Liuli shattered.

This was just an illusion; the true form had already appeared beside the Bodhisattva Guangxian.

Bodhisattva Guangxian glanced at her. Just now, Liuli had the opportunity to kill Du'e, but she chose to retreat.

On the other side, Jialuoshu and Luo Yuheng separated immediately after their initial clash, without continuing their attack. The former slowly turned around, scrutinizing the ugly yet valiant Asuro, and said in a deep voice:

"You've been promoted to the First Rank?"

This is why the Bodhisattva Liuli retreated. Not skilled in close combat, if she insisted on killing Du'e, the price would be being personally attacked by a newly promoted First Rank warrior, and she would surely die.

This time, however, the Buddha will absolutely not save her; to save her would be tantamount to Du'e.

"I have to thank you; hatred is the most powerful force." Asuro spread his arms wide.

A swirling vortex rose behind him, and within the swirling air currents, a pitch-black Vajra Dharma Idol materialized. Its features were ferocious and ugly, somewhat resembling Asuro, and its twelve arms each held illusory magical implements such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, pagodas, and red ribbons.

What shone from behind the dark-skinned Dharma Idol's head was not a blazing ring of fire, but a seven-colored halo symbolizing the attainment of the Slayer of Thieves Fruition.

After months of seclusion, Asuro finally took the final step. He borrowed from the Shenshu method, integrating the Asura bloodline into the Vajra Dharma Idol. Using this as a foundation, he then transformed into the Slayer of Thieves Fruition, finally forging a new path and embarking on a road to the First Rank.

Although it lacks the unreasonable defense of the Jialuoshu, the Vajra Dharma Idol, which incorporates the power to Slayer of Thieves and the bloodline of the Asura Tribe, is more powerful than the Jialuoshu's Vajra Dharma Idol.

"Interesting!" Jialuoshu said calmly.

As dawn breaks in the east, the serene and ethereal fairy mountains awaken under the first rays of sunlight.

A streak of light swept across the horizon; it was none other than the Holy Son Li Lingsu, riding a flying sword.

As Fang Fu approached the immortal mountain, an invisible barrier appeared, and Li Lingsu crashed into it head-on. With a muffled groan, she swayed and drifted down from the sky on her flying sword.

He landed at the archway at the foot of the mountain, and shouted with all his might:

"Heavenly Venerable, a great calamity has arrived. Your disciple Li Lingsu, earnestly requests that you descend from the mountain to assist the Great Feng and aid the Human Race."

The sound echoed through the mountains and forests again and again until it became distorted and dissipated.

Heaven Sect remained silent, offering no response.

"Heavenly Venerable, please help me! This disciple travels among mortals on behalf of the Heaven Sect, yet I am utterly useless; it is truly shameful."

There has still been no response.

"Heavenly Venerable, your disciple swears that after the great calamity, I will sever all worldly ties, devote myself to the pursuit of the Dao, and Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotion."

There has still been no response.

Li Lingsu gritted her teeth, knelt down under the archway, and repeated what she had just said.

Again and again, over and over again.

After asking the question, the giant beast with the body of a sheep and the face of a human said in a deep voice:

"I guessed wrong. The Gatekeeper is not the Superintendent, but the Martial God. The Gatekeeper can only be born from the Martial Warrior System."

"Xu Qi'an is the Martial God that the Superintendent grooming."

Upon hearing this, the Gu God couldn't help but glance at Huang, who saw a trace of pity in his eyes.

Faced with Huang's question, the Gu God did not answer directly, but spoke in a deep and majestic voice:

"He deliberately allowed himself to be sealed by you and followed you to the Ruins of Return to the Gods and Devils Island, not to seize the Heavenly Gate, but to use your innate divine power to refine the Spiritual Essence remaining here, so that he could reopen the Heavenly Gate and force you to transform into the Dao."

"Some of the Spiritual Essence you consumed was absorbed by him."

"Am I right, Superintendent?"

The Superintendent in the longhorn didn't respond; instead, Ara was startled and incredulous.

"What makes him so special? What makes him so special, with nothing more than Heavenly Mandate?"

Huang didn't continue, because the Superintendent's various actions had already shown that he was by no means a simple Heavenly Mandate Master.

Then, Huang, his face fierce and irritable, questioned:

"You arrived a long time ago, why didn't you make a move in the first place?"

The Gu God replied:

"If I delay my attack, causing you to lose more Spiritual Essence, you won't be a match for me."

A low growl escaped from its throat, like a provoked beast, as it spoke, word by word:

"I'm still Transcendent Rank, and I can still kill you!"

"Do you know who I am?" At that moment, the voice of the Superintendent came from the long horn.

"I glimpsed a vague future, thanks to your seal by the Desolate Ones. The power that shielded me from the secrets of Tianji loosened, allowing me to discover your true identity," the Gu God replied calmly.

What should I call you?

"Superintendent, or the embodiment of the will of the Nine Provinces, or the Heavenly Dao?"

A single sentence from Heavenly Dao stirred up a raging storm in Huang's heart, causing the pupils of this ancient Gods and Devils to shrink into slits in an instant.

He did not refute the Gu God, nor did he angrily accuse the Gu God of being absurd, because it coincided with his own bold guess.

Besides the Heavenly Dao, who else can open the Heavenly Gate again by absorbing Spiritual Essence?

Moreover, this also explains one of His previous doubts: why the Superintendent was able to replace the First Chief Astrologer and be promoted to the Heavenly Mandate Master.

And the Superintendent, a Heavenly Mandate Master, wielded high-level rules, even surpassing His ability to devour. The First Chief Astrologer certainly didn't possess such power.

Furthermore, knowing the secrets of the Gods and Devils Island, supporting the Martial God, and giving Xu Qi'an the Heavenly Gate left over from ancient times—all of these have reasonable explanations.

At the same time, Huang also found a reason for his misjudgment of the Gatekeeper.

"Very good!" the Superintendent said calmly.

"Huang, your chance has come."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap exploded in the clear sky, and a pillar of lightning carrying an aura of annihilation engulfed the Gu God.

The lightning bolt covered the Gu God's massive body, turning his "followers" into ashes. The Gu God's body only lasted for three seconds before exploding into countless fragments.

Each fragment was as big as a millstone, smashing onto the ground like mud, resembling a massive "rain of blood and flesh."

They slowly wriggled, gathering little by little, trying to piece themselves back together.

The aura of the Gu God had weakened to its lowest point at this moment.

The price for revealing Tianji has arrived.

Even He would pay a heavy price for revealing Tianji; it can only happen once.

"What are you waiting for?" the Superintendent tempted.

"If you don't devour the Gu God now, when will you? Your Spiritual Essence is damaged. Even if you're still among the Transcendent Rank beings, can you defeat the Shaman God and Buddha who have condensed their Fate?"

"By absorbing His Spiritual Essence, you will reach the pinnacle of your life and engage in a final competition with the Buddha and the Shaman God."

A greedy glint appeared in Huang's eyes, clearly indicating that he was tempted. His innate divine power was to devour all things, and his nature was greedy. He had no resistance to high-quality Spiritual Essence, especially Spiritual Essence of the same level.

Huang's nostrils twitched a few times, as if he were smelling the aroma of an exquisite delicacy.

But in the end, He reluctantly closed His eyes, letting the remnants of the Gu God's body gradually reassemble.

"If you had devoured me just now, he could have used my Spiritual Essence to break the seal, reopen the Heavenly Gate, and force you to transform into a Daoist."

During the process, the Gu God, who had not yet recovered, spoke, his voice still grand and majestic, showing no sign of relief at having "escaped death."

"I know, I don't need you to remind me!" Huang's voice was filled with obvious regret and heartache.

Then, feeling rather awkward, he asked:

"What can you do to resolve this? Although it seems his existence was severely restricted."

As they spoke, a figure appeared out of thin air atop the desolate peak, his green robe billowing wildly. The Nation-Guarding Sword in his hand was brimming with powerful energy, distorting the air as he forcefully slashed down at the long horn.

P. S.: Some people have already guessed the identity of the Superintendent. Although I had been laying the groundwork and providing information beforehand, you guys are still amazing. Sigh, this generation of readers is getting harder and harder to manage.

By the way, I'd like to ask for a monthly pass.
