The Ancient Gods' Whisper

Neither Xingtong nor Yue Tong could figure out how he managed to block that strike, but the two of them combined had an overwhelming advantage. Without hesitation, they closed in again, unleashing another storm of relentless fist shadows!

Their fists ignited with the Divine Sacrificial Fire, determined to press the young man to his death!

Two fists cannot fend off four hands. Even as Gu Jianlin tried to parry, two of his ribs snapped under the pressure, his left arm suffered a near-shattering fracture, and the Divine Sacrificial Fire began consuming his life force.

But this was not the most dangerous part.

The real killing blow came from the spiritual manifestations of the two ghost faces, brimming with violent Dark Energy!

With a bang, a kick landed squarely!

Gu Jianlin raised a single hand to block, but the force of the upward sweeping leg sent him hurtling into the air.

Xingtong recalled her ghost face spiritual body, merging seamlessly with it. The black radiance almost completely swallowed the overhead spotlights.

The next moment, Yue Tong leapt into the air alongside her ghost face spiritual body.

Roundhouse kick, hook punch, knee strike, hammer blow!

After this relentless combo, even though Gu Jianlin managed to block, it was impossible to tell how many bones in his body had been shattered.

This was the price of his lack of expertise in hand-to-hand combat.

He committed it to memory.

"It's over."

Xingtong and Yue Tong spoke in unison.

For they had already drawn the young man's blood!

"Die!"

Gu Jianlin suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Black Ghost Curses spread across his body, his Life Rhythm drained of vitality.

He was on the verge of death.

In the battles of the Divine, such situations were all too familiar.

As long as they didn't die outright, there was always a chance to devour and recover.

The twins were well aware of this fact. Behind them, the ghost faces condensed into massive black flashes, bursting forth in an instant!

Boom!

Two enormous bursts of radiance intertwined in midair, and as Gu Jianlin plummeted downward, his hands spread open.

Dark flashes illuminated both his hands, surging forth!

Without the synergy of spiritual bodies, his Dark Shock could not match theirs!

But in a critical moment, Xingtong and Yue Tong suddenly spat out blood!

Ghost Curse Technique!

A curse delivered across the air!

Boom!

The dark Negative Energy erupted again, disintegrating into dust as it dissipated mid-air.

Xingtong and Yue Tong felt the suffocating murderous intent envelop the entire Octagonal Cage from behind. They caught a fleeting glimpse of an icy knife light slashing across their vision, sharp enough to make their eyes sting!

In the nick of time, they sidestepped and recoiled. A sliver of cold light struck out lightning-fast!

The Candle Dragon Shadow took action at this moment—for a single, decisive kill.

After all, while these two Cloud Lords weren't weak, attempting a direct attack without guaranteed success might expose the Shadow's presence. Thus, it opted for the most reliable method!

Crack!

Accompanied by a scream of agony.

The transcendent silhouette flickered briefly, its blade casually slicing through the Void, casting a cold glimmer as blood sprayed like a fountain!

Dimension Slash!

The twins' upper and lower halves were severed, and crimson blood gushed as if from a waterfall!

With a resounding crash, Gu Jianlin fell to one knee. His shirt had been shredded, his body marred with horrifying burn scars, his bones shattered, and half his torso caved in.

If not for the last-minute summoning of four Ghost Hands for protection, he would have perished on the spot.

With a heavy thud.

He lunged forward, Divine Sacrificial Fire igniting, turning the ground beneath him into scorched wasteland.

Life Force began recovering rapidly, bones reconstructing, flesh mending.

Gu Jianlin gripped the twins by their necks with both hands, trying to snap them outright.

Yet, unexpectedly, even after being bisected and drenched in blood, the twins clung tightly to his hands. Their horribly twisted, savage faces bore expressions of sheer madness—this was the true nature of the Divine!

For one fleeting moment, silence reigned.

Time seemed to sink into a quagmire of stillness, black and white spreading like ink stains. Everything within its path froze solid, as if the colors of the world had drained away into an aged, monochrome palette.

Ye Hua completed her charge in this moment.

She found the perfect opening.

One strike to end it all!

Space Freeze. Space Jump. Dimension Slash!

A three-in-one combo!

This woman had mastered a combined skill of the Ghost Slayer Path!

"You're strong, a worthy opponent, but... it's futile."

Ye Hua said coldly, "Die!"

Within the domain of Space Freeze, only she could move!

A fleeting, shattered silhouette streaked forward. Leveraging Space Jump, she materialized at point-blank range, her vibrating tachi emitting a low hum.

A single slash descended!

For a moment, the audience held their breath.

The outcome was imminent!

The current of time streamed past like a rushing river. Within the silent domain, Ye Hua dashed with ruthless speed, savoring the imaginary sound of her blade severing a head, envisioning the young man's skull soaring high into the air!

A single breath—a short span of time.

But it could also feel impossibly long.

Especially for those who also wielded powers over time.

At this moment, the Candle Dragon Shadow completed its charge as well.

The ability mastered at the Second Rank of the Ghost Slayer Path was called Dimension Slash.

It could also be named Shattering Sky Slash.

Essentially, it used the cracks of the world to sever space and time.

Capable of bypassing most defenses in existence.

Moreover, slicing through the same fragment of space repeatedly could collapse vast swaths of the Void!

The Candle Dragon Shadow wielded the power of the Supreme, its abilities further enhanced.

After being strengthened, the effects of Dimension Slash were brutally straightforward.

One charged strike to annihilate the Void!

Boom!

The elegant, ethereal silhouette suspended outside the Space Freeze domain unleashed its built-up strike, slashing through with a thunderous explosion!

The Space Freeze domain crumbled instantly, collapsing into ruin as a massive black hole engulfed it in an instant, leaving no trace behind.
