Chapter 434 The Manifestation of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao
After the origin was shattered, the golden light that had been repairing the cracks on Brahma's body vanished into nothingness in an instant.
The ancient temple that stood not far away also gradually collapsed and crumbled.
Brahma's eyes were empty and helpless.
After a moment, He smiled bitterly and said with some resentment.
"Will all these schemes... ultimately fail?"
"The nation's destiny was severed, its very essence shattered, and all the gods of India perished..."
"Only I, a half-dead Supreme, remain..."
"How pathetic..."
"Fine... since you want my body, then take it..."
Right after that sound fell.
Brahma's head, which represented 'destruction,' exploded instantly, and tens of thousands of scarlet worms surged out from above his bald neck.
Li Jie didn't even have time to react.
The scarlet worms devoured Brahma's broken body in an instant.
"Cthulhu..."
Just as Brahma's aura completely disappeared from the Indian divine realm, this divine kingdom, constructed from the original power of the Indian divine kingdom, was on the verge of collapse.
Li Jie did not continue the pursuit because he had no idea where that crimson flash that appeared on Brahma's head was going.
The divine realm is about to be destroyed, and he must leave this place with the severely injured Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Heavenly Court itself.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Li Jie turned around and took a step forward. With a flash of sword light, he arrived in front of the immortal palace that was about to collapse.
The Celestial Venerable still hadn't woken up, and his injuries showed no signs of improvement. For the time being, he didn't have any good solutions.
All they could do was unleash a few sword energies to propel the shattered Immortal Court, which had shrunk several times in size, toward the 'empty gate'.
.........
Chennan Pass, a coastal defense line.
Those Night Watchers of slightly lower cultivation levels looked at the divine light that was frantically intertwining in mid-air, feeling dulled and powerless.
"Should we fight against such an enemy?"
"That's not something we should be thinking about..."
"This enemy seems to be a little different from the previous Outer Gods."
"Indeed... their offensive was far too ruthless..."
"Sword Immortal Senior and Commander Ye... can they hold on?"
"........."
After the sound faded, an eerie silence suddenly fell over the city wall.
No one could give him an answer, because what was happening here was beyond their comprehension.
Clang! !
A pale yellow sword light flashed by, heading straight for 'Zeus's' face.
The latter's face showed no emotion; He simply raised his hand and gently patted it, and the sharp sword light that even gods at the level of the supreme god felt fear instantly dissipated.
"No, it's impossible to hurt Him..."
"Zeus! What are you trying to do?!"
Ye Fan and Zhou Ping stood side by side. He looked at the seven figures standing frozen in mid-air and couldn't help but shout loudly!
"say!!"
Hearing his angry voice, Zeus turned his head as if he were thinking about something. After a moment, his head strangely rotated around his neck.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill and piercing sound resounded through the sky.
"The destruction of... the Great Xia Dynasty..."
"This thing always talked like this? It sounds so effeminate..."
"This shouldn't be His original voice. Based on previous intelligence, Zeus's death is a given, and what's standing in front of us now is most likely a puppet..."
"A puppet?" Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's face showed a thoughtful expression.
"Like those Asgardian gods who were stripped of their consciousness?"
"Pretty much... If that's the case, Zeus's resurrection should be inextricably linked to the Cthulhu pantheon."
"........"
Just as Zhou Ping was about to say something, Zeus, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised the golden scepter in his hand and pressed it down, unleashing terrifying divine power that swept across the heavens and earth.
At the same time, a screeching sound came from above the clouds.
Zhou Ping frowned slightly, looking up at the thick clouds covering the sky with some confusion.
"what sound?"
"It looks like something is slowly falling from above the clouds."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's voice, Zhou Ping unconsciously gripped his three-foot-long sword and slashed down fiercely in the direction where 'Zeus' was suspended.
Ding--!
Before the sword's edge arrived, a tall, bare-chested god wearing a helmet, standing to the left of 'Zeus', stepped forward.
A round metal shield, made of an unknown material, suddenly swelled in the wind and steadily caught the Heaven-Slaying Sword Light that Zhou Ping had unleashed.
"What is this?"
Seeing that his attack was thwarted, Zhou Ping frowned even more.
These Olympian gods were somewhat different from those we had seen before.
How should I put it? ...
They seem stronger than before!
It should be noted that although Zhou Ping has not yet reached the Supreme Realm, with his unique power of laws, he can be said to be invincible below the Supreme Realm. Even when facing ordinary Supreme Realm beings, he still has the power to fight.
But.......
Just now, he clearly realized that if he didn't unleash a stronger attack, he might not be able to break through the shield's defense.
While the two were in a daze, 'Zeus's' hands never stopped moving.
With the infusion of divine power, the aura emanating from the golden scepter became increasingly terrifying.
Close...
Just as Zhou Ping and his companion were pondering what the ear-piercing roar meant.
A burst of crimson light suddenly ignited the thick, dark clouds.
Immediately afterwards, a massive, arc-shaped boulder wreathed in golden-red flames gradually broke through the clouds and plummeted towards the direction where Chen Nanguan was sitting!
The fiery red boulder appeared infinitely larger in Zhou Ping and Ye Fan's eyes.
Meanwhile, the Night Watchmen standing atop Chennan Pass were also watching this scene, which seemed like the end of the world.
"I go!!"
"Tsunamis and meteorites... Is the Olympian god playing with natural disasters?"
"How do we block this?...?"
"Would Commander Ye's bell be alright?"
"It probably can't be stopped..."
"........"
Just as their attention was completely drawn to the fiery red meteorite that suddenly fell from the sky, and they were arguing on the city wall, a slightly bloated figure walked past them.
He didn't speak, but quietly took off the dark red cloak that he had been wearing behind him.
Whoosh...!
The wind howled, and the cloak rose up like a kite with a broken string, drifting towards the depths of the sea.
At the same time, the slightly bulky figure had already reached the pass of Chennan Pass.
"I didn't even have a chance to properly say goodbye to you all..."
He turned his head, squinting his eyes as if trying to see the white cloud rushing towards them.
But he quickly gave a helpless smile.
"If it really comes to that, I'm afraid I won't be able to make up my mind anymore..."
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Baili Pangpang sighed softly, faced the crimson sky, and took a step forward.
Boom-!
In an instant, a powerful yet melodious bell rang out from the void, accompanied by a faint cracking sound, and a figure imbued with supreme treasure energy stepped out from the river of time.
As that figure gradually overlapped with Baili Pangpang, who had stepped into mid-air.
A magnificent and supreme divine power surged forth, and as the light gradually dissipated, beneath the crimson clouds, a handsome Taoist priest wearing a Hunyuan Taoist robe and with his long hair standing on end appeared before everyone's eyes.
"I am Lingbao... Who dares to cause trouble in my Great Xia territory?!"
Holding a jade ruyi in his hand and standing on a Bagua formation, he coldly watched the crimson meteor that was about to fall into the territory of the Great Xia.
A moment later, He raised the jade ruyi in his hand and pointed it into the air.
"I am here, all stars retreat."
A deep, resonant Taoist chant lingered in everyone's ears, while at the same time, a bluish-gray light emanated from the surface of the jade ruyi.
Beneath the crimson sky, the fiery red meteor, which seemed poised to destroy the world, suddenly paused.
The golden-red flames that threatened to burn the entire sky uncontrollably converged towards the Primordial Chaos Cave beneath the Taoist's feet.
The Taoist priest stood on crimson flames, his expression solemn and cold, and he let out a cold snort.
An invisible pressure suddenly enveloped the slowly falling meteor.
A moment later, the gray-brown meteor that had been suspended in mid-air turned around and retreated into the endless void behind it!
After the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao reappeared in the world, the nine deities facing each other at the border all looked up as if sensing something.
They saw that the Taoist priest had easily driven away the crimson meteor with the power to destroy the world with a flick of his finger.
A look of joy appeared on Zhou Ping's and Ye Fan's faces.
"Another Supreme Being?!"
"Of the Three Pure Ones, only that one has not yet appeared in the world..."
"You mean Lingbao Tianzun?"
"Probably, after all, I've never seen Him..."
At this point, Ye Fan spread his hands and said with a hint of helplessness.
"Never mind all that. The descent of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao is a good thing for our Great Xia. At least someone can stop this mutated puppet 'Zeus' from the front."
"........"
Just as the two were talking, Lingbao Tianzun, who had dealt with the crimson meteor, stepped out from above Chennan Pass and appeared in front of Zhou Ping and the other person in an instant.
He first nodded to Zhou Ping and Ye Fan, then, holding the jade ruyi that emitted a bluish-white halo, coldly looked at the silent 'Zeus'.
"Look at you, why don't you just give up being the supreme god?"
"To sell one's soul and ally with the gods of the Kelvin, only to end up dead and vanished—how tragic..."
Do you still recognize me?
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Upon hearing Lingbao Tianzun's voice, Zeus stiffly turned his head.
A moment later, the shrill and piercing sound rang out again.
"Detection of the descent of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao... Danger level SS, Probability of successful annihilation... 47%... Operation permitted..."
boom! !
At Zeus's command, intense divine power surged from the six gods standing beside him.
The indigo-purple lightning bolt took the lead, like a thick, venomous snake, coiling around Lingbao Tianzun's body.
"Taiji is originally Wuji, and the primordial chaos divides heaven and earth."
Seeing this, Lingbao Tianzun calmly raised his hand and gently formed a Dao seal. As soon as his voice fell, the Hunyuan Wuji Cave beneath his feet rapidly twisted.
The overwhelming stream of destructive light seemed to have received some kind of guidance, and was completely sucked away by the dark hole.
Undeterred by his failed attack, Zeus clenched his fist and shattered the void, aiming directly at Lingbao Tianzun's face.
"That's more like it..."
"Come, let me see just how much you, the king of the gods of Olympus, really are after being baptized by the source of evil!"
..........
Chennan Pass.
Lin Qiye, who had just made it back to the city wall, stared in disbelief at the gray-blue light that had flashed into the distance.
I think I just heard...
The chubby guy calls himself...Lingbao?
What on earth is going on?!
Not only him, but all the members of the [Nightfall] squad showed expressions of astonishment.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, a warm hand patted Lin Qiye's shoulder.
"Commander Zuo." Coming to his senses, Lin Qiye followed the hand and saw Zuo Qing's familiar figure in his line of sight.
Along with this comes the ceiling of human potential.
"What on earth is going on? Where's Fatty?..."
"Lin Qiye... listen to me first... this matter is a bit complicated to explain, so you should be mentally prepared."
What exactly happened to Fatty?
Why did Commander Zuo need to prepare himself mentally?
But before he could even ask, Zuo Qing sighed and said quietly.
"A thousand years ago, in order to find a way to save the world, Lingbao Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones, fell into the cycle of reincarnation to experience the suffering of all living beings and drifted for countless years."
"And Baili Pangpang... is the 'true self' of Lingbao Tianzun in this reincarnation."
Lingbao Tianzun?
True Self Reincarnation?
"Commander Zuo, are you saying that the one fighting the Olympian gods on the border is really Baili Pangpang himself?"
"Yes and no..." Upon hearing An Qingyu's question, Zuo Qing first nodded, then shook her head.
Regarding the reincarnation of Lingbao Tianzun's true self, Yuanshi Tianzun told him very little. He only specifically mentioned that one day, Baili Pangpang of the [Nightfall] team might leave the team. He did not elaborate on the specific reasons.
But one thing is certain: Lingbao Tianzun must have retained the memory that belonged exclusively to Baili Pangpang.
"The things the Celestial Venerable mentioned to me about the Celestial Venerable Lingbao were very brief and vague, so I can only tell you that the Celestial Venerable Lingbao must have a memory that belongs exclusively to Baili Pangpang in his mind."
"As for whether he's still the same chubby Baili from before..."
"I think it's no longer the case..."
