Chapter 367: Chapter 366: Return! (New Book Uploaded, Please Add to Favorites)

“Damn it!”

The Heavenly Emperor roared in fury, as a rift in the void split open. He attempted to plunge in but was rejected, tossed back out as though the void itself refused him.

It was not just him, others at this moment too, tried to test their luck but much to their disappointment, none could traverse through the void.

Their realms have plummeted, dropped all the way to the breaking point of the eight level.

On the other hand, Du Gang and his team, due to their preemptive execution, retained the breaking ninth level.

“Damn!”

In the shadows, Kou Yingwu, struck speechless with shock watched the scene unfold.

Tao Xuanzhu looked at Du Gang, reverence filling her eyes, “You’re amazing, you saw this far ahead…”

Du Gang wore a smile, “Now, we can begin harvesting!”

To completely seize these over two hundred kings, he would need quite some time.

But right now, encountering more than two hundred breaking eights, even if they were formerly kings, they were negligible!

“Transform!!”

At this moment, Du Gang saw no need for obscurity any longer.

If he can’t seize their powers even after Fang Ping had weakened them, he would really be weak beyond pity.

Boom!”

Showing no signs of holding back, he transformed into a giant, standing tens of meters tall – the most potent form he could take right now.

Every inch of his body, truly was on par with the Celestial God.

Having a physical form reaching such a level, every single move was potent enough to divide the heavens and shatter the earth, moreover, he possessed a Supreme Artifact.

“Ancient Divine Spear!”

Following a long-absent shout, a spear that perfectly matched his scale slowly appeared.

Zing!”

A distinct metallic sound echoed, as though the Ancient Divine Spear was calling back to him.

Thud!

Du Gang gripped the spear, his whole persona emanating an aura of unbeatable confidence.

“Who’s that?!”

At the distant reaches, several powerhouses have noticed Du Gang, terrified by the colossal figure.

“Wait, isn’t this guy part of that four-man group from earlier?!”

Recognizing him, a returnee uttered in astonishment, “How could he grow so enormous?!”

Similarly, another returnee scowled, shouting at Du Gang, “What do you think you’re doing, trying to make enemies out of us?!”

Heh!

Du Gang smirked, “I’ve already grown this massive yet you guys think I’m here to entertain?”

“Apocalypse!”

Without further ado, he launched his most potent attack. Instantaneously, the spear slipped out of his hand, shooting towards the crowd.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

“Roar! Roar! Roar!!!”

The entire space became precarious as the spear pressed forward, splitting cracks, terrifying in its power.

“Run!”

One startled individual attempted to fly away but promptly fell to the ground.

“What’s going on? Why can’t I fly?!”

Not just him, increasingly more people recognizing the horrifying power of Du Gang’s spear chose to retreat.

However, not a single person was able to escape its range.

“Momentum!”

“His spear holds momentum, no escape!”

Someone exclaimed, revealing the terrifying truth.

“What do we do?!”

“Join forces!”

The calm ones realized that they had to band together to resist this onslaught or have no chance of survival at all.

“All together now, resist his attack, kill him!”

In that moment, every returnee and veteran king united, setting a common goal to withstand Du Gang’s lethal spear attack.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Splendid rays of light began to flicker as the powerhouses all released their killing moves, showcasing all the techniques they had up their sleeves.

When faced with the brink of death, none chose their end. The only thing they were capable of was a desperate resistance.

“Haha!”

Du Gang chuckled. Had all these men been kings, they might’ve had a chance of withstanding his attack.

However, after being tricked by Fang Ping and his seed, those reduced to the breaking eight simply didn’t stand a chance.

“This is an attack capable of annihilating the Celestial God, and you think you can withstand it?”

Boom!

As if to confirm his claim, following the spear’s impact, the ground became desolate. All persons disappeared, vanished without trace.

They did not flee but were pulverized to dust by that attack, not even their ashes remaining.

The power of a single spear, horrifying in its potency.

“Is it… over?!”

From a distance, Kou Yingwu, Tao Xuanzhu, and others who supported them were dumbfounded.

Zhang Xinyi’s mouth hung open, disbelief was written all over her face. She had never imagined Du Gang to be this formidable. He’d fought and won, single-handedly.

“Over two hundred of them were instantly killed in one fell swoop?!”

Is this what Apocalypse looks like?!”

At this moment, their world was as if it had been destroyed just to rebuild as this spectacle truly left them stunned, unable to regain their composure.

On the other end, Fang Ping and others who could still see into the source land using the power of the seed were thoroughly shaken.

Each person, regardless of being Fang Ping, Zhang Tao or the other breaking eight powerhouses were all left dumbstruck by the spectacle.

“He’s single-handedly wiped them all out?!”

They couldn’t believe it. Those people were once prodigies who thrived four thousand years ago and opened up a new era, yet they simply perished.

“They’re all dead!”

Everyone found it hard to believe, but the blood raining from the sky proved that it was indeed real.

When a king falls, blood rains from the skies.

Not just one, but over two hundred of them resulted in the world plunging into an endless blood rain.

This world, due to the power of Du Gang’s spear, was about to undergo a significant change. A change that would reboot the world anew.

[Returning to the ace team space!]

[Promotion mission accomplished, beginning upgrade!]

No sooner had they returned to the space of the Heavenly Court, Du Gang and his companions were teleported again.

When they woke up, they found themselves in a place just like a heavenly palace.

It was a world filled with mist, ethereal air swirling, and far away, a flock of heavenly cranes were leisurely cruising.

Further afar, a large number of celestial palaces lined up in a row. Even from such a great distance, everyone could hear the melodious songs of orioles and swallows, their voices pleasant and gentle.

“Where are we?”

The four of them stared blankly at each other, completely clueless as to why they were teleported here by the Heavenly Court.

Just then, a voice came from behind them.

“Here is Heavenly Realm, the Ninth Heaven.”

Du Gang’s hair stood on end at these words.

His cultivation level might still be at the True God Level, but his physical body had already reached the Celestial God Level.

Still, he didn’t notice this voice at all until it resounded.

Quickly turning around, they saw a man in a green tunic standing before them.

If Du Gang had not seen this man with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe there was another person there. Because this man didn’t emit even a hint of aura, almost like he didn’t exist at all.

“Who are you?!”

Du Gang asked aloud.

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, “I am the Guide of the Heavenly Realm!”

Seeing Du Gang and the others coiled up, ready to spring into action at any instant, he chuckled: “Relax, my cultivation level is God King!”

What?!

Four expressions of disbelief stared at him.

The Guide laughed: “I was once a reincarnate too. However, after I met my end during a task, the Heavenly Court resurrected me from the Deity Ranking, making me this Guide!”

Du Gang gaped in disbelief, “You have already reached the level of God King, yet…”

He could not imagine what kind of task could lead a God King to meet such a fate and end up as a mere Guide.

The Guide chuckled: “Are there many God Kings?!”

“Think about it carefully, even a third-rate force has a God King, let alone stronger forces?!”

“Third-rate forces can’t be counted across the entire continent, and there are also seventy-two second-rate forces. And this is just considering the faction forces, not counting various powerful families…”

“Not to mention tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands is an underestimation!”

The Guide shook his head, “God King is nothing special, compared to the Divine Immortals outside, they are just like generals…”

Divine Immortals, a race corresponding to the Abyssal Demon Clan, a supposedly much stronger race, sealed above the ninth heaven.

And they were now in the ninth heaven of the Heavenly Realm. Could it be that the enchanting music they just heard was produced by these Divine Immortals?!

“Correct!”

After hearing Du Gang’s thought, the Guide smiled: “Divine Immortals are expert manipulators of people’s hearts. Those with weak mental fortitude often fall into their temptations…”

“There’s no need to worry!”

He laughed: “You all are blessed by the Heavenly Court. You do not need to worry about the petty tricks of the Divine Immortals!”

Du Gang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked: “Guide, we’ve just finished our task of ascending from True Gods to Celestial Gods and got teleported here. Where should we complete our ascension?!”

The Guide chuckled: “Right here. In a moment, I’ll lift a section of the heavenly curtain, revealing the Divine Immortals directly to you, and you can take that opportunity to ascend…”

“Don’t worry, those sent by the Heavenly Court are protected. As long as there are no issues, you should be able to smoothly ascend!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to operate something himself, pulling out an object similar to a steering wheel, casting a spell, and, floating it in midair.

Immediately afterward, he started to cast another spell, which injected a series of runes into it.

The next second, the steering wheel bubbled with a rainbow light, and as if a burnt curtain had been torn apart, the entire sky gradually dispersed.

With the disappearance of the curtain, a strange scene gradually unfolded before their eyes.

The originally ethereal and misty environment had completely disappeared.

What appeared before them was a desolate expanse of dark nothingness.

It was a world even darker and lonelier than the universe itself.

A sense of desolation arose, stirring within the four a feeling of forlornness that could not be suppressed.

Even at the corners of their eyes, tears gradually trickled down, as if mourning and weeping for the world that lay before them.

“What is this?!”

Du Gang was the first to come to his senses, looking warily at the darkness and asking.

The Guide, seeing how easily he had shrugged off the influence, showed a look of admiration and smiled:

“This here, is the world of Celestial Gods!”

He paused, then added: “Or rather, this is the world inhabited by races represented by Celestial Gods!”

He pointed to the ground below, smiling, “I’ve been to the Abyss before, fought with the elites of the Demon Clan there…”

“The Abyss Demon Clan, they’re from another world, a world full of chaos and imbued with the scent of death!”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang’s curiosity surged.

He asked: “Senior, why does these Demon Clans, Celestial Gods, decide to invade our world?!”

The Guide paused, then quickly shook his head.

“I don’t know!”

Seeing the looks of disbelief on their faces, he smiled and reiterated, “I really don’t know!”

“I’m simply a God King, with Sages and Supremes above me. Do you think I’d know such things?”

He chuckled, “But I can guess that these Celestial Gods and Abyss Demons use us as food. So, we are irreconcilable…”

Food?!

Du Gang suddenly remembered the scene he saw when absorbing Pangu’s memories in the universe.

It was something like a fluffy material, ceaselessly devouring the entire universe…

He shuddered, shaking the memory from his mind, taking a deep breath, no longer pondering over it.

Meanwhile, Tao Xuanzhu seized upon a loophole in the Guide’s words and asked: “Senior, are you saying that there still exist Sages and Supremes in this era?!”

This Guide, being a character on the Deity Ranking, was immortal, living as long as Heaven and Earth, and couldn’t return to the human world, so he was not evasive about these matters.

“I know a thing or two about this!”

He laughed, “The Supremes are probably all dead…”

“But, Sages, as far as I know, are present in every major divine tribe…”

What?!

Du Gang and the others were once again astonished, looking at him in shock.

“Er, I mean not alive ones!”

The Guide waved his hand with a smile, “Much like the sealed prodigies, these Sages usually choose to seal themselves away. Only coming forth in some critical junctures, otherwise, they probably remain dormant as they are now.”

“Critical junctures?!”

Du Gang quickly picked up on his words and urgently asked.

The Guide paused for a moment, then shook his head: “I was just speculating. In any case, it’s likely that these Sages may awaken only at the brink of their race’s obliteration.”

Having said that, he regained his stern composure, “All right, idle chat time’s up. You guys better start comprehending and achieve the level of Celestial God!”

Hearing his words, Du Gang and the others stopped asking questions and started observing the darkness.

After observing for a while, they finally understood the situation.

“So, this is what being a Celestial God is about!”

The so-called Celestial Gods are those who, with the body of a True God at its peak, gaze upon real Celestial Gods and acquire stronger abilities.

The difficulty for ordinary people lies in seeing them with their own eyes, for the sight of Celestial Gods naturally inspires terror, and ordinary people who witness them are easily lost and sink into oblivion.

But they, being blessed by the Heavenly Court, were able to observe freely and make progress.
