With the emergence of the colossal blade, an overwhelming chill swept through, shaking everything.
The ground also collapsed.
The second challenge they had passed, the straight canyon, now revealed its true form with the falling rocks.
It was a groove for the God Slaying Altar's blade!
Inside, it was crimson as if tainted with boundless blood, exuding a staggering aura of malevolence.
As for the place where Xu Qing sat cross-legged, countless rubbles pieced together to form a circular altar. This altar, immense in size, merged with the beheading platform.
Its upper part held the heavenly blade, while the lower part connected to the beheading platform, creating an awe-inspiring guillotine.
All of this was clearly transmitted to the minds of all living beings through the Heavenly Eye.
A buzzing sound echoed and a vast intent shook the sky. At this moment, everyone's hearts were in turmoil and the expressions of all living beings in the outside world changed.
"God Slaying Platform!"
Old Eighth looked at this and cried out involuntarily.
The God Slaying Platform was the strongest trump card created by Ruler Li Zihua. Legend had it that after this divine art was formed, the first strike he slashed out was at himself!
This technique was heaven-defying and the difficulty of cultivating it was extremely high. Among Li Zihua's descendants, only Old Ninth had learned it. The other children were unable to learn it.
Even the heir and Mingmei couldn't do it, so the shock in their hearts was incomparably huge.
"He really… succeeded."
The heir mumbled and looked at Xu Qing, the sky, and this world.
The sky of this world became a blade, and the ground of this world transformed into a platform.
That green blade contained unparalleled killing intent, and the blood-colored ground was filled with heinous blood.
The most terrifying thing about this world-shaking executioner's blade was the killing intent contained in it.
This intent had killed countless living beings. The killing intent was so strong that it was enough to cause the world to tremble. The aura it formed seemed to be able to devour everything.
"I didn't expect to be able to see the God Slaying Platform once again…"
Princess Mingmei murmured, her eyes revealing reminiscence. The Fifth Sister was the same, and even Old Eighth remained silent. In their eyes, there was nostalgia, carrying both the beauty of the past and the pain of losing loved ones.
Other than that, there were also waves of emotions.
At this moment, in the Moon Worship Region, the various races were in endless shock.
They had already lost the ability to think. Everyone was immersed in the scene in their minds.
Looking at such a shocking scene, an indescribable heatwave rose in the hearts of the mortals. It was as though a lump of fire was about to be ignited in their hearts which finally transformed into extremely intense anticipation.
They were looking forward to the moment the blade slashed down!
It wasn't just the mortals. It was the same for cultivators. Those who had previously doubted the authenticity of the scene, now, looking at everything, their hesitation had long vanished.
This was indeed real!
Especially the cultivators of the Moon Rebel Hall who were in the rebel army in various places. For them, at this moment, they had fully realized what impact this scene would have on all living beings.
Hence, all of them suppressed their excitement and stared fixedly, wanting to see… the final slash!
As for the Red Moon Shrine, they had completely gone crazy. The hall priest had gone out and used all his divine powers and spells to lock onto the green sand desert. Hence, countless temple cultivators were heading straight for the green sand desert.
This included himself.
This was because he was clear that this scene was real. He also understood the meaning of this scene.
Under the attention of everyone, amidst the rumbling of the world, the scene that appeared in the minds of all living beings had actually changed.
This was because an ancient memory… materialized from within as the God Slaying Platform was formed.
The scene submerged the figures of Ning Yan and others, becoming the sole focus of this place.
That was the last memory of the God Slaying Platform.
The ancient wind blew through the blue sky and collided with the blood-colored sky, stirring up layers of ripples.
The sky was the same and different from what Xu Qing had seen in the ink.
The similarity was that the sky was half blue and half red. The difference was that both sides had clearly experienced an earth-shattering battle.
Hence, half of the sky was like a mirror that had shattered.
The ground collapsed, turning into a purple sea.
Countless skeletons could be seen. There were men, women, old, and young, mortals and cultivators.
As for the towering figure between heaven and earth in the scene, as his figure imprinted in the minds of the onlookers, it stirred ripples akin to the sky.
This was the first time the living beings of this region saw a ruler.
Ruler Li Zihua closed his eyes and was unscathed. His towering body gave off an astonishing aura.
As for the Crimson Goddess opposite him, most of the tentacles on her lower body shattered, and most of the stars were also shattered.
A large amount of flesh and blood fell from the collapsed stars.
It was a shocking sight.
These were all the living beings that the Crimson Goddess had swallowed on her way here.
Looking at the Crimson Goddess, the mortals and cultivators in the Moon Worship Region instinctively gasped. This was also their first time seeing the Crimson Goddess for real.
In the scene, the Crimson Goddess watched as the stars she formed collapsed. Her eyes were red and she let out a heart-rending cry.
"Li Zihua, you and I came from the same place. When you left back then, you told me that you were going to become a god! You wanted to correct our fate!"
"For countless years, I've followed your footsteps and traces to this place!"
"But you've changed!"
"Why? Why don't you become a god with me? Why are you willing to lower your head to Mystic Nether?!"
"We… are the true owners of this star ring!"
As she spoke, the Crimson Goddess' eyes were filled with resentment. The sea of blood outside her body surged into the sky and blood moons rose, emitting an astonishing aura as they headed straight for Li Zihua.
Wherever they passed, the void would shatter, forming countless long marks that eventually landed on Li Zihua's body, leaving behind countless imprints.
These imprints could destroy the Great Dao and collapse the soul.
The deepest one was between Li Zihua's brows.
Li Zihua didn't dodge and silently endured it. He allowed his forehead to collapse and blood flowed out of his body, landing on the ground.
When the purple sea on the ground stirred up huge waves, his closed eyes slowly opened.
"I became a god before… In the end, I slashed my own divine fire."
"Because that's not the future I want, nor is it what you want… The moment a god appears in Wanggu, the ancient taboo will be activated and a great terror will awaken from the depths of the starry sky."
Li Zihua spoke softly and looked at the Crimson Goddess.
"You should return."
When the Crimson Goddess heard this, the resentment in her eyes grew even more intense. The blood sea in the surroundings churned again and in an instant, the world turned red. In the distant sky, an extremely huge blood moon seemed to be rising!
Li Zihua sighed softly and slowly raised his hand, pointing to the Crimson Goddess.
"Use the soil of the Moon Region as the cutting platform."
With a deep voice echoing through the heavens and earth, the ground rumbled, rolling up instantly. Starting from Crimson Goddess as the center, it spread in all directions, covering the entire region.
All the peaks in this region collapsed and shattered at this moment, and all the plains were upheaved. Countless earth and rocks surged like ocean waves from every corner of this region, converging towards this place.
As they converged to this place, the ground of this region sank by 100 feet.
As for the soil, it headed straight for the Crimson Goddess at an astonishing speed and gathered under her.
In the blink of an eye, it piled up into an earth-shattering altar!
This altar wasn't circular but rectangular. There was a huge ravine inside that stretched straight out. Endless blood gushed out and monstrous killing intent erupted.
Such a divine power shook all living beings.
The resentment in the Crimson Goddess's eyes deepened. Her body rose into the air, shattering the void along the way. The remaining stars that were swept up by the tentacles in the surroundings shone with a red light and transformed into a sea of blood that surrounded her, forming a huge vortex.
She was trying to escape this place.
Wherever she passed, the void corroded, the laws collapsed, and the world reversed.
However, it was obvious that under Li Zihua's gaze, it was impossible for her to escape from this large region.
"Use the sky of this region as a blade!"
Li Zihua's calm voice resounded again. A loud explosion rang out in the sky and the sky tilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into a long blade!
The sky was like a blade, and the ground was like a platform. They each took shape.
At that moment, a heart-rending voice echoed in the vortex where the Crimson Goddess was at. That voice contained horror and monstrous hatred.
Li Zihua fell silent, but in the end, he still lifted his hand and plucked the sun, connecting the sky and the ground. In an instant, a colossal God Slaying Platform appeared in the world.
It was astonishingly vast and incomparable.
Under the shrill cry of the Crimson Goddess, the instant the scene of horror spread to the hearts of all living beings, Li Zihua's right hand slowly landed.
At this moment, the sun rumbled and burned fiercely. It continued to rotate and erupted with terrifying might, transmitting it to the heavenly blade formed by the sky.
The heavenly blade descended!
The heaven was slashing toward the ground!
As long as it was in the world of this large region, it would be within the range of this blade.
The blood-colored vortex that Crimson Goddess was in erupted completely at this moment. It continued to rumble and wanted to resist, but it was useless.
The heavenly blade slashed across and landed on the vortex without stopping at all. It easily sliced through the vortex and appeared in front of the Crimson Goddess whose face was filled with horror and despair.
The blade landed on her forehead and slashed down!
Crack!
In the scene, the Crimson Goddess' body was directly cut into two. Endless blood sea was released, dyeing everything red.
This slash didn't just cut off the Crimson Goddess' head but also shackles in the souls of all living beings.
Seeing the death of the Crimson Goddess with their own eyes, it was as though the legend had been broken. The minds of all living beings in the Moon Worship Region rumbled in unison at this instant, forming a huge wave that shook the heavens and the earth.
Their bodies trembled violently and their breathing became hurried!
The scene continued.
As the world lost its color, an unwilling curse seemed to come from ancient times and resounded in the souls of all living beings watching the scene.
"Li Zihua, if I revive, I will make your soul wail in agony, tear apart your flesh and bones, subject your people to eternal suffering, and make you kneel until the collapse of Wanggu!"
The voice was chilling and pierced through one's soul.
Li Zihua stood in the air. As the voice resounded and the blood rain scattered down, he silently lifted his head and looked into the distance, looking at something.
His expression was a little lonely.
Gradually, the scene blurred and his figure slowly disappeared.
Other than the ones on-site, no one in the outside world heard, in the moment when his figure dissipated, a faint murmur coming from his mouth.
"I've already seen the curse you mentioned the moment I became a god…"
