Chapter 756: A Shocking Set-up
Guhui spurted out another mouthful of blood when he heard what Blackie said.
“A soldier prefers death to humiliation!” he said hoarsely, his expression distorted. “You’re the ones who poisoned the poop! What kind of poison is this? It can actually corrode the Origins. Even the power of the Origins can’t resist it. This kind of poison shouldn’t exist in the world. This is outrageous.”
Guhui was twitching on the ground as he roared in disbelief. In the seven dimensions, the power of the Origins was related to the Origins of Dimension, and it should be the strongest power. All poison should be below that power, and yet, the poison he had ingested had surpassed the power of Origins. In fact, no poison should have worked on him once he reached the Heavenly Realm.
He had exceeded the limits of the power of the seven dimensions but still found himself to be poisoned. What made it a thousand times worse was that the poison came from eating poop! He would be the laughing stock of all seven dimensions if word about this got out. If possible, Guhui wanted to silence anyone who knew about it.
“There’s nothing impossible in this world,” said Blackie evenly.
They were all used to impossible occurrences by now. The expert was skilled in creating miracles. Anything they could think of, the expert could do. Poisoning Guhui was not something that hard.
“Little Gu, your power might be stronger than us, but your horizon isn’t as broad as ours. In the end, you’re limited by your imagination,” said the Elite King sincerely.
‘Little Gu?’ Guhui spurted blood again and his face darkened. ‘How dare an ant like him call me Little Gu? Who does he think he is? No one has ever dared to belittle me with a nickname since birth!’
“Gah! Die! All of you… DIE!” His eyes were red as he summoned all his energy to make a last desperate attempt. The entire first dimension was roaring with his power and the sky was torn apart!
However, no matter how angry he was, the huge momentum eventually turned into nothing. The blood in his mouth spewed forth continuously. His face gradually turned pale and soon, he fell into an anemic state.
He had been poisoned for a long time. Coupled with the fierce battle with the willow tree, he could not suppress the poison any longer and the poison erupted completely. The poison was even more terrifying than he had imagined. It was overbearing and gave him no room for a breather.
At his feet, a cloud of gray mist emerged silently and wrapped itself around him. The voice of Heaven appeared in Guhui’s mind, “Guhui, it seems like you could use some help. Let me control your body, and I’ll help you kill them all!”
A myriad of expressions flashed across Guhui’s face as he struggled with the offer. He had known from the start that making a deal with Heaven was a risky gamble. However, he was confident that he would be able to cope with all variables, and he had always raised his guard against Heaven. In the end, he still lost. As the saying went—man proposes, God disposes.
Suddenly, the figure on the stele struggled out, and said anxiously, “Seventh Sister, kill him now! If not, ‘Heaven’ is going to be born with the help of Guhui’s body!”
Instantly, the willow branches straddled the space, like bridges between heaven and earth, and pierced through Guhui’s chest. This time, the blood stained the branches and dripped to the ground.
Even though the willow tree was fast, a trace of unknown gray mist still managed to get a hold of Guhui’s body as his Origins of Life was nearly wiped out. The gray mist coated his body, making his vessel and Origins of Life immortal.
Guhui raised his head and his pupils had all turned gray. There was also a weird smile on his face. Two different voices and two different words flowed from his mouth. One was Guhui’s voice and the other was the cold and merciless voice of the unknown gray mist.
“Damn you, seventh dimension! You’ve ruined the set-up that we, the Eldritchs, had been plotting for countless years. Don’t blame me for killing you all when you’ve forced my hands into this! Now, die with all my ambitions!”
“Hahaha, I should thank you all for giving me a vessel! However, this body alone isn’t enough!”
Following the division of the seven dimensions, Heaven had been permanently sealed up. Finally, it found an opportunity to not only suppress the seven Battle Spirit Guardians but also bewitch the Eldritchs to bring about the subsequent catastrophes in the seven dimensions. All that just so it could get out of its prison and bring about the era of Heaven!
‘Guhui’ was strong, and he had the Origins of the entire first dimension, making him the most suitable vessel for Heaven. This vessel would not only restore it to its peak, but it could use it to break away from the entanglement with the stele.
‘Guhui’ raised his hand and turned into a metacarpal knife, slashing at the willow branch that penetrated him! The willow branches that could resist the immortal flames were instantly turned into broken pieces.
Then, ‘Guhui’ slowly rose into the air, surpassing the void as he was surrounded by a powerful aura. Heaven was using ‘Guhui’s’ original power as a foundation to increase its power!
A trace of gray mist was breaking away from the stele and heading toward ‘Guhui’, allowing more and more unknown gray mist to surround him. It even condensed into a giant gray face in the sky. The seemingly endless gray mist had turned the whole area into a fog-filled sky!
“Stop! Suppress him!” The stele trembled, and the word ‘Suppress’ written on it exuded the ultimate bloody light, shooting toward the gray fog.
‘Guhui’ glanced down at the stele and began to taunt it, “You might’ve suppressed me once but don’t think you can suppress me again!”
He suddenly raised his hand and cast a palm strike at the stele. A deep palm-print was imprinted on the stele as it was being pressed into the ground. Soon, countless cracks spread out in the form of a spider web on the stele’s surface.
“Fifth Brother!” The branches of the willow tree danced, covering the world as it extended toward ‘Guhui’!
‘Guhui’ raised a palm again and slapped it away. The powerful force blocked all the willow branches. He did not seem to have unleashed his full power yet. He smiled calmly and said, “I’ll stop at nothing until all the Origins are unified!”
A layer of strange power began to shroud his body, and then, following the distortion of the portal, Wang Teng, Si Dekuai, and Zhu Yiqun arrived from the fourth dimension.
Previously, they opened up a portal through a sacrificial ritual and disappeared as soon as the Eldritchs came. Now, they had come back, but their eyes were blank as if they had lost their minds. Their bodies were also surrounded by a gray mist. They started to walk toward ‘Guhui’ like puppets on a string.
Everyone knew that they could not let ‘Guhui’ continue like this. The willow tree, Blackie, and the others cast their ultimate spell at the same time, wanting to obliterate Wang Teng, Si Dekuai, and Zhu Yiqun completely.
‘Guhui’ sneered and blocked everyone’s ultimate spells with a single wave of his hand. Then, he put his hand on the three men’s foreheads. With a low hum, the power of Origins was pulled out of them and into ‘Guhui’s’ body!
Qin Manyun’s face changed slightly and she solemnly said, “He’s gathering the Origins of all seven dimensions!”
“Heaven was suppressed by the stele and the two were intertwined together. It seems that Heaven wanted to use a physical body to get rid of the seal on the stele. This is the reason he cultivated Guhui and secretly collected the Origins from the other dimensions!” said the Elite King after reorganizing all the information in his head.
“I dare say that the physical body required by Heaven must be extraordinary. The body would likely need to integrate the Origins from all seven dimensions. That’s why he staged such a set-up!” said Shi Tuqin pensively.
Jiang Liu sighed and said, “The Eldritchs were one of the super clans, especially Guhui with his outstanding power. But alas, in the end, he was nothing but a pawn for Heaven.”
At this thought, everyone’s hearts sank further into the pits of despair. They were both impressed and shocked by Heaven’s set-up. From Wang Teng and the other two, Heaven had already gathered the Origins from the fourth and fifth dimension, and Guhui already had the Origins from the first, third, and seventh dimension, which meant that Heaven had a total of five Origins of Dimension in his body!
The power of Heaven rushed through ‘Guhui’s’ body, gathering the origins of the five dimensions. His physical body appeared a little magical, allowing more unknown gray mist to enter his body as it was refined into the best vessel for Heaven! A wave of air blasted out of him, blocking all of the willow tree’s attack without any effort at all.
“Hahaha, I can finally return to the seven dimensions! Now, the only thing left to do is to integrate all the dimensions so I can rule over them!” ‘Guhui’ looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
It was suffocating being Heaven. It could only rely on the Eldritchs to spread the gray mist in the seven dimensions and carefully carry out his plan of collecting all the seven dimensions’ Origins while creating chaos along the way. Now, it could finally make its debut.
“You from the seventh dimension, I’ll show you the power of Heaven! And you Battle Spirit Guardians, you have an aura that disgusts me. If it weren’t for your vessels, I would’ve reigned over everything! Die now, all of you!”
‘Guhui’ raised his hand and pointed at the willow tree. Suddenly, the monstrous power turned into a whirlwind and swept forward, shattering the willow branches wherever it passed!
It was an unspeakable power. It could dominate the entire universe and bend Wisdom to its will with a single thought. His power had already far surpassed the upper limit and broken through to the realm of Wisdom Dictator. Even the seven Battle Spirit Guardians dared not reach this peak.
Soon, the power descended and pressed down on the willow tree. All the leaves were destroyed or flung into the sky. The willow branches were broken and its trunk was riddled with holes. The willow tree was like an ordinary tree that had been ravaged by a storm—it could be completely annihilated any moment.
“Seventh Sister, leave with the people of the seventh dimension!” The stele suddenly rushed out of the pit and the red writing on it burst into a red glow. At the same time, the red ink overflowed from the stele. Under the endless red light, it charged at ‘Guhui’ with an unrelenting momentum, wanting to suppress him with its own body.
“Everybody, help Sister Willow!” With determination in her eyes, Dragin took out the ladle without any fear and began to launch her ultimate spells.
Nanan’s face was filled with righteousness. She pointed to Guhui and said, “So what if you’re Heaven? I’ll use my Demon Devouring skill to swallow you!”
Then, her devouring power exploded out of her body and turned into a black hole, absorbing Guhui’s attack frantically.
Shi Tuqin waved the brush in her hand, with murderous intent on her face and her eyes as bright as stars. “If God follows me, I’ll let him prosper, and if God disobeys me, I’ll let him perish!”
A line of a poem filled with earth-shaking arrogance rose to the sky like a declaration of war while the sound of the Guqin flowed from Qin Manyun’s fingertips, turning into shining spears and armored horses. They had an unyielding desire to fight fiercely with Heaven!
“You’ve already failed once, and you’ll fail again!” The Elite King took flight into the sky with the manure bucket in his left hand and the manure fork in his right.
At this moment, they were fighting against God and this had brought out all their potential. Ultimate spells flowered out from their fingertips filled with the desire to suppress Heaven.
“You talk a big game, but your fates have already been sealed!” said Guhui coldly. He raised his hand, and a palm strike came crashing down. All his movements were very simple, but the power contained in them was extremely terrifying. It seemed that with one breath, the birth and death of the world could be determined.
Before the palm fell, they could already feel the endless pressure, causing their bodies to nearly explode. When this palm fell, a terrifying storm overwhelmed the mountains and the sea. The sky and the earth were all twisted, and life and death turned upside down in an instant.
With such power, Nanan and others felt that they were extremely insignificant for all their ultimate spells were useless. There was no way they could fight back. The only thing they could do was to wait for the fall of the grim reaper’s scythe.
At this most critical moment, countless willow branches suddenly appeared beside them and the stele, forming a barrier, covering and sheltering them from the imminent attack.
The willow branches glowed brightly and continued to expand. In a blink of an eye, the branches had taken root in the ground and a gargantuan tree sprouted from the ground, holding up the sky.
“Sister Willow!”
“Divine Willow!”
“Seventh Sister!”
Nanan and the others exclaimed at the same time. They covered their mouths as the tears rolled down from their eyes. The stele was dripping with blood. They could not imagine what a terrible attack the willow tree must be facing and they could not even bear to look at it.
Meanwhile, at the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan, Daji, Fire Phoenix, and Little Fox were cleaning the backyard.
