Chapter 2607: Keep Testing

The red dust calamity fire that burned Cang Tu God to the point of being unable to sit or stand still, following that god skin, covered He Lian Qing Tong's body and almost burned him to ashes in a single roll.

Fortunately, He Lian Shan Hai with one sword chopped out a crack in the god skin. Also, from the depths of the Time Sea, Jiang Wang spat out a mouthful of heart blood, strongly enduring the backlash, extinguishing this calamity fire. Although Jiang Zhen Jun's power was far inferior to those in the midst of slaughter, the fire starter was in his hand.

Mu Tai Zu barely had half of his god body left. On his face remained an undissipated look of shock, and his body emitted the fragrance of roasted meat. The stony quality was still spreading on his body, and the dead energy was still diffusing.

He was now weakened to an unrecognizable state, unable to withstand the punch of the venerable god. With all his might, he pulled at the god skin on his body but couldn't pull it down. So, he simply wore it, treating it as a battle robe, not retreating but advancing, actively charging towards Cang Tu God, only roaring lowly: "Horse leather wrapped corpse is precisely the fate of an emperor on horseback—give me fire!"

He wanted a fire seed; he wanted to ignite Cang Tu God again.

Although he understood that this was almost impossible.

But the two words "almost" meant that everything had not thoroughly ended yet.

A "Nameless person," precisely because of never giving up, leaves behind an immortal legend.

Jiang Wang barely stationed himself in the Time Sea, fundamentally unable to attend to old and new injuries. He raised his hand, and it was "Stone Bridge Nine Towns," exerting all his strength to intercept the god tide. While the crimson gold eyes only turned once, the fire seed of the red dust calamity again embedded into Mu Tai Zu's eyes.

He, of course, felt no affection towards Mu Tai Zu, nor did he prefer to suffer a loss himself to save Him. He just clearly knew who the main force in this war was.

If his earliest intrusion into Cang Tu Heavenly Kingdom was for the sake of Yun Yun and Ru Cheng, and hoping to quickly quell the white fur wind, wanting to do something within his capabilities… now Cang Tu God's greed for the "Wind Empress Eight Arrays Diagram" had manifested, and the matter could no longer be resolved peacefully.

Cang Tu God wanted "the Wind Empress Eight Arrays Diagram and the things together with the Wind Empress Eight Arrays Diagram"... he may have only been gifted one "Wind Empress Eight Arrays Diagram"!

If not unexpected, what Cang Tu God wanted should be the divine path inheritance that Gu Shi Yi had obtained.

If he said he didn't have it, Cang Tu God would also need to believe him.

Given Cang Tu God's style of acting, trading on one side while directly making a move to plunder on the other, if he were allowed to win this war and perch on the god seat, Xing Yue Plain would forever have no peace.

Cang Tu God's "expulsion" of Mu Tai Zu was vetoed by He Lian Shan Hai with king authority.

He Lian Shan Hai's sword left wounds on His god body like rift valleys and long gorges.

He, of course, also saw his old opponent of several thousand years launch the final charge. He saw a withered and wrinkled, roaring face, a pair of turbid and angrily widened eyes... the shattered hair-binding gold ring, the dancing frost hair!

Cang Tu God's feelings were extremely wonderful.

On the horizon, there was an unusual red; that was Guang Wen Zhong plus Samadhi True Fire's effort outside this world, trying to change His compression of this world. It had no effect but was very tenacious.

Such a sky made Him think of dusk.

On Tian Ma Plain... the dusk of the gods.

In His heart arose a kind of enlightenment—the war had already ended.

He Lian Qing Tong with the God Heaven Turning Wheel ground humanity and purified divinity.

Cang Tu God also wanted to remove the god cloak, wash away the human poison, and make his god name more pure and clean.

These two mortal enemies who had killed each other for several thousand years walked relatively similar paths.

He had always been pondering his own divine path, repeatedly interrogating himself, why he could not truly master "Cang Heaven." In terms of accumulation, in terms of management, what exactly was still inferior.

Not obtaining the true core inheritance of Cang Heaven God Lord was one reason. He thought another very important problem was that his divine path was miscellaneous and disordered, not pure enough.

But the complex divinity was precisely His power source. He exactly relied on greedily devouring all abilities to reach such a high place.

To cut off what he already possessed, and what he relied on for success, it was truly hard to say "willing to give up."

He should thank He Lian Qing Tong's human poison, thank this fiercely burning red dust fire, which melted the "miscellaneous things" in His body together.

Great destruction then great establishment.

His god body was perishing, but his god body was also growing.

Not breaking one arm and then growing another arm.

It was tide rising and tide falling, spirit born and spirit extinct.

The divinity named "Cang Tu," like tidal fluctuations, made His god body also somewhat dazed.

One side flesh was fresh and alive, one side was rotten flesh eroding bones.

Birth and death, with such intuitive posture, were embodied on the shell of the present world god.

Eternity and decay, for the first time, were clearly on His body.

"I understand..."

"I understand!"

He once witnessed the establishment of the Eternal Heavenly Kingdom. He also personally experienced the destruction of the Eternal Heavenly Kingdom.

He could not, like the Original Heaven God, comprehend the path traces of god fall.

Because... He originally should also be a part of god fall!

He crawled up from the corpse pile, in panic and pain walked out of the Eternal ruins, stumbling escaped to the grassland.

But where was His path?

He made full preparations, originally intending to step on the old path of Cang Heaven God Lord. But after walking higher and higher, he discovered that he seemed to be walking further and further away.

This path deviated from the beginning; everything seemed similar but was not.

But in the moment of a broken arm and remnant body, human poison shed, old quality peeled off, He finally saw that kind of power. It was what He had always yearned for, always gazed at, but always could not see clearly... the power of Cang Heaven God Lord!

At this moment, in His wolf eyes, a calm joy was born.

He was not to continue walking the path of Cang Heaven God Lord.

But he finally established the method to integrate his own divine path, to perfect the supreme god seat.

Since the self-seizing god occurred, several thousand years of hesitation and confusion, several thousand years of stunned unease, although still high above, yet He often felt that He was only carried by the era...

Everything suddenly became clear.

He could finally say today, given time, He could become another god lord not inferior to Cang Heaven God Lord! Just like the bold words when He first stepped on this path.

That moment was "ignorance without fear," now it was knowing without doubt!

All people could feel Cang Tu God's increasingly lofty and distant aura.

All people could see that pair of wolf eyes transform from greed and cruelty to abnormally clear and transparent.

Cang Tu God's power fluctuations did not have too drastic changes, but every breath of Him was not the Him of the previous breath.

He only lightly looked at He Lian Qing Tong one glance, truly just "looked," without launching any power.

He Lian Qing Tong, who was burning the remaining courage of his decaying life, then fell on the charge path. The fire light in that pair of turbid old eyes flashed and extinguished.

He Lian Qing Tong, who had been entangled with Cang Tu God the longest, most knew what had happened. He did not think that precisely his several thousand years of struggle and entanglement helped Cang Tu God return to the origin and find the supreme divine path outside of "Cang Heaven."

Red dust calamity was also good; human poison was also fine; it could no longer harm this one with perfected divinity.

Those two words "almost" had been erased.

He had not died yet, but also had no other methods; escape was his only remaining resistance.

"It ended," Cang Tu God said.

Clang!!

He with one arm clenched a fist and met He Lian Shan Hai's Fu Yu Sword.

From behind him, a totem pillar representing divine right suddenly extended thousands of miles, knocked over the Azure Heaven Four Directions Cauldron, and supported that piece of azure heaven!

Divine light illuminated this world. That terrifying order suppressing the world with king authority rapidly dissolved.

King authority does not disturb divine glory.

In the Time Sea, the roaring god tide also instantly broke through the intercepting seals, rushing Jiang Wang out of sight.

And at His broken arm place, flesh buds unexpectedly grew... rapidly growing!

The poison without poison had been driven out; the wound that did not heal was also healing.

Everyone understood how fearsome Cang Tu God was at this moment. Everyone also understood that the next moment's Cang Tu God would be even more fearsome.

The Cang Tu God who found the supreme divine path would, after his god body recovered, gallop like wind and lightning towards the realm once of Cang Heaven God Lord!

The great favorable situation was overturned in one thought.

He Lian Shan Hai's god slaughter plan, at this point, could be declared a failure!

But her eyes were calm. She only gripped the emperor sword tightly and pressed down again.

"Still want to exile this venerable?" Cang Tu God asked with unwavering waves.

This square world that was rapidly contracting rapidly expanded again!

High as infinite, broad as infinite, the spacetime fragment once opened by Mu Lie Emperor, under Cang Tu God's will, was evolving towards a complete spacetime.

In this spacetime, all stories would be written by Cang Tu God, and all stories under the god pen would become reality and could become history.

Cang Tu God was re-controlling Cang Tu Heavenly Kingdom.

The many backhands related to the exile plan hidden in the Time Sea, originally already activated by Jiang Wang, at this moment were like candles blown out one by one.

Sealing was already impossible; wanting to restart "exile" was also just a pipedream.

He Lian Shan Hai faced this kind of deity, sword against fist, eyes colliding with eyes—

The pearl strings in front of the Ping Tian Crown had broken; the perfect and noble pendants were scattered all over the sky.

The crisp sound of the pendants accidentally colliding seemed like the ritual music of a dynasty's fall.

He Lian Shan Hai yet with five fingers spread, also like those pendants leaving the crown, released the sword hilt—

Cang Tu God's fist struck that terrifying emperor sword away. She yet crossed over the sword's obstacle, and Cang Tu God body to body, the spread five fingers, exactly pressed on the flesh buds grown at Cang Tu God's broken arm place.

At that time also.

Pendants scattered, emperor crown tilted, a few strands of messy hair floating on the forehead, and brushing past her inexplicably distant eyes.

King authority tilting the world like her, always high sitting on nine heavens, noble and majestic. It seemed only at this moment, her eyes were not quite like an emperor.

"My heart is not stone, cannot be turned," she inexplicably said.

Forever cannot get a response, also does not need a response.

She then reached out and pressed. This hand that grips the human world actually sank into Cang Tu God's broken arm place, sank into the sword scar left by Shi Bo Zhou in the past. Then the entire dao body ignited the red dust fire—the fire seed that extinguished in Mu Tai Zu's eyes was unexpectedly picked up by her—this venerable then like a stream of light escaping, all sank into Cang Tu God's god body!

The just now calm and perfected Cang Tu God suddenly froze in place. On his body, divine light suddenly disordered, and the two wolf eyes also had uncertain light color.

"He Lian Shan Hai, you—"

He just opened his mouth a few words, then abruptly turned into a female voice: "Please call 'emperor'!"

Conflict produced inside the god body.

In Cang Tu God Hall, the supreme god seat had already condensed. He Lian Qing Tong's manifestation had died. The various outer gods created by Cang Ming had shattered on the ground. Cang Ming was prostrating in the fragments of the god statues, and He Lian Zhao Tu was propping his sword half-squatting in front of him. In front, there was a bottomless gully. On both sides of the gully were some internal organ fragments.

Obviously, He Lian Zhao Tu blocked a fatal strike for Cang Ming and himself also suffered heavy injuries.

And Cang Tu God's manifestation had already sat on that god seat. This meant the ownership of the god position had been determined.

The truly important war was in the transcendent battlefield, so here the spirits' manifestations were extraordinarily leisurely. Even... somewhat dull. Because almost all energy had been invested into the transcendent battlefield during the "god slaughter."

But at this time, on this huge god seat, right beside Him, a figure in full imperial robes instantly condensed from virtual to real.

The manifestation of the Great Mu Female Emperor slightly dusted off the robe corner. The Ping Tian Crown pendants shook, and she sat down beside Cang Tu God!

This meant... a new god seizing war!

After the original plan successively failed, He Lian Shan Hai without any hesitation directly burned out her dao body, cut off her own retreat, went all in, and restarted god seizing.

He Lian Qing Tong's god seizing war had already failed; He Lian Shan Hai's god seizing war formally began!

There was no such pre-plan; this was He Lian Shan Hai's decision.

Today, He Lian Shan Hai, with the honor of Great Mu Emperor, desired to seize the god position, to seek becoming the god emperor of this world!

The blood-flowing He Lian Zhao Tu looked back at the hall. That statue of the female emperor who once made him feel warm was now stone texture clear, quality cold and marked, no different from those stone statues on the mountain paths.

In a certain sense, the Great Mu Female Emperor He Lian Shan Hai had already died.

In Cang Tu God Hall, the two manifestations were like statues confronting each other.

In the transcendent battlefield, Cang Tu God's expression was strange, seeming joyful, seeming sorrowful, voice grand: "Seizing god is just a self-assumed path. Have you not heard 'heaven has no two suns, yang god not seized,' let alone venerable god? He Lian Qing Tong already created history, broke the shackles. You, even if you do it better, reach the limit, at most you will be just another Him. Look at His appearance! Do you also want to one day become that ugly?"

He again turned into a female voice. This voice was yet calm: "I believe 'time can kill heroic ambitions,' I do not believe 'there are no exceptions in the world.'"

Cang Tu God shook his head and indifferently said: "The He Lian Qing Tong of that year was even more tenacious than you. The rolling river of years, magnificent waves, later ones always lightly feel that they are different. I, of course, do not believe you can do it. It's just... is there still time to verify?"

He again opened his mouth, changing to He Lian Shan Hai's voice: "No harm in verifying continuously, until there is no time."

For Mu Country, this time's god seizing war producing such huge twists inevitably could no longer be hidden.

Soon, Shen Xiao would open again, and there would be great strife in the ten thousand realms.

Even if the He Lian clan still had the courage to fight for several dozen generations.

Did Mu Country still have several thousand years of time?

Hope was bleak.

But... there were already no other methods.

The Cang Tu God who found the supreme divine path was advancing by leaps and bounds every moment. If not relying on divine right and king authority's mutual invasion, relying on the residual heat of the just ended god seizing war to start a new god seizing, wait a while and there would not even be an opportunity to contend. And on the god seat, she at least stopped Cang Tu God's crazy ascension, making the struggle limited to a relatively balanced level.

Compared to the intensity when Cang Tu God and He Lian Qing Tong seized god, at this moment, Cang Tu God and He Lian Shan Hai's god seizing was very calm on both sides.

One was certain of his victory.

One was prepared to welcome any outcome.

The now divinity-perfected Cang Tu God did not think this god seizing would last long. He clearly understood that He Lian Shan Hai had made the best choice she could, but He had absolute confidence: "I am no longer the me of that time, I will not give you the opportunity to do what He Lian Qing Tong did."

He Lian Shan Hai only said: "I am also not He Lian Qing Tong."

This ponderous god body madly changed divine light, but yet it did not move, like a mountain range standing still.

The two wills occasionally had words, yet both waves were unwavering.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" At this time, a series of coughs rang out. The already half-petrified old emperor slowly stepped through the air, voice difficult: "You fighting your fight is fine, why must you all take me for comparison and step on me without avoiding, whether... not respectful enough?"

"He Lian Qing Tong," Cang Tu God indifferently said, "Even if this venerable is trapped in god seizing, divine right not stable, this body not moving. Weak as you, you also cannot influence anything."

He Lian Qing Tong, of course, understood what time it was now, otherwise the already prostrated Him would not so laboriously crawl up.

In the initial hundred years, He and Cang Tu God were just like this, coexisting in one body, only able to war with divine thoughts. Later, they gradually differentiated into various manifestations fighting, and even to the end, just sharing the god seat, the god body could manifest outside. The struggle process of Cang Tu God and He Lian Shan Hai would perhaps accelerate, but overall, there was such a process.

"Yes, I am already very weak, cannot influence your immortal god body," He Lian Qing Tong lightly sighed, "But the audience of your this god seizing is not only me."

Saying this, He slowly raised his head.

But seeing that azure heaven curtain, quietly tore open a corner. A slender and powerful hand, holding an ancient bronze small bell, probed in from the heaven gap, and shook a few times.

Clang clang clang

This bell sound made Cang Tu God's eyes light jump straight.

Then that hand retracted, changing to a pair of eyes where even the immortal light had scattered but were still very clear, through that azure heaven curtain's gap, quietly looking down.

Its eyes were like a quiet abyss reflecting the world. The gradually appearing virtual white heaven curtain also slowly manifested his appearance.

This was a man with a weak aura, wearing tattered green clothes, exposing fresh blood traces on the chest and smooth thighs, almost clinging to the sky dome. His posture was not very elegant, but very suitable for fleeing in different directions.

His breathing sound was very light; you could feel he was a person who was very economical with strength. He was trying to recover.

Perhaps he had accumulated enough strength, or finally observed the situation clearly, he tore a bit more at that azure heaven corner...

Then with effort, he arched forward and rolled down from that gap!
