Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 674 - 626: Eradicate Completely
This scene equally stunned the Cang Chu Gods of the two time-spaces; they never imagined Wu Hen could actually defeat the Night Leader.
And such a world-shaking genius dying in this manner made it hard for them to accept for a moment. It also made them start to question if the Night Nuwa Lineage was really as powerful as the rumors claimed.
"Dead?? Is that guy really dead?" True Martial Ancestor Kang Yishan's voice trembled.
Kang Yishan had fought against the Night Leader. If it hadn't been for his deterrence, Kang Yishan would have already sliced up the treacherous Yama.
His strength was overwhelming, leaving him helpless, making it impossible to defeat him no matter the method.
The reason this battle lasted so long was because of the Night Leader's presence, wasn't it? Even including the Red Robed Saint, it was impossible to kill him.
But now, such a universally recognized powerhouse died like this, catching everyone by surprise.
"He wasn't killed, he chose death." A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Red Robed Saint.
"Is there any difference whether he died at your hands or that kid's?" Kang Yishan felt relieved.
The Red Robed Saint did not answer, instead he gestured to the Cang Chu Gods supporting him, signaling them to exterminate the remaining remnants of the Night Nuwa Lineage.
...
Wu Hen flew down to a long ridge on the White Mountain, looking at the head rolling in the ridge.
The head was covered in blood, the night gauze mask on his face fading away with his dissipating life, revealing the ordinary face of the Night Leader.
He lay with eyes open; from this angle, he could just see a corner of the Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea and the entire scene of Infinite City. At this moment, his soul state was like a flame without fuel, still lingering, yet destined to extinguish over time.
"Why do it this way?" Wu Hen still questioned.
He could have stood tall, but he chose death.
The murderous intent he released towards Mingyi was real, but that wasn't his true aim. What he wanted was for Wu Hen to strike him with all his strength, ending his life on this White Mountain and White Sea.
"I've already lost, haven't I?" said the Night Leader. "Your way of breaking the stalemate was to wait, wait for your comrades to defeat my subordinates, then for you to hold me down while those comrades escorted Mingyi to repair here..."
Wu Hen nodded slightly, acknowledging that this was indeed the strategy he employed.
"Then, what meaning does our contest have anymore? You seem passive, yet you hold the initiative, while I seem unyielding, yet I'm like a levee with a breach, and no matter how small the breach starts, it will eventually render the whole levee meaningless…" said the Night Leader.
He could remain undefeated, but he could find no way to break the stalemate.
He had no choice but to watch his subordinates be defeated one by one and might even see those familiar faces die tragically before him. When Wu Hen broke his Five Senses Divine Sense with Yang Conspiracy, he had already seen the ultimate end of the Night Nuwa Lineage.
Wu Hen fell silent.
Even so, he shouldn't have...
Suddenly, Wu Hen realized something, and he turned around, seeing at a glance the Old Gods of Infinite City converging into a dazzling star river rushing towards this Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea. The glaringly bright Heavenly Light blazing fiercely, making it impossible for others to open their eyes.
With the Night Leader's death, the former gods of Infinite City seemed to have become daylight-less marauders. Without the restraint of the Prison Guard, they unleashed a pursuit upon the Night Nuwa Lineage's remnants.
In an instant, the entirety of the Night Nuwa Lineage fell into a dire situation. They had to face the assaults of the Future Warriors while also fending off the impending Cang Chu Old Gods filled with murderous intent. Even with the powerful support of the twelve Night Heavenly Kings, the decline was inevitable.
The situation changed instantly. Wu Hen initially thought they needed to defeat the Night Nuwa Lineage, who were filled with obsessions, before facing the frenzied Old Gods of Cang Chu, where the three forces would form a mutual constraint.
But with the Night Leader's actions, Wu Hen's thoughts turned chaotic.
It's important to know that their opposition against the Night Nuwa Lineage wasn't intended to annihilate them. Many within the Night Nuwa belonged to the ancestors of some human evolvers from his homeland. If they were all sacrificed in this struggle, a large number of his comrades might also be erased due to historical corrections.
The Night Nuwa Lineage must be suppressed, but their embers cannot be extinguished.
"Now it's your turn to decide." The Night Leader's head uttered its final words and then slowly closed its eyes.
Towards death, the Night Leader was calm to the extreme.
He had not a trace of regret, nor even the slightest anger. He peacefully chose death and, through his death, induced a shift in this tumultuous situation.
The belief of the Night Leader was that everyone becomes eternal high-dimensional beings, and his current role was merely one among countless cycles. Although he was an unshakeable leader of this era, he similarly had a mission that he needed to complete in this era.
Upon realizing that his mission could not be accomplished, he simply withdrew, no longer harboring any attachments.
This mess, if you can handle it, be my guest. I head to the Carefree Realm of Mechanism.
Wu Hen was caught completely off guard, now truly at a loss as to what decision to make.
His eyes scanned the Cang Chu Old Gods, observing their fierce and savage demeanor. At that moment, he realized his predicament wasn't much different from that of a liberator who had freed all the prisoners.
The ideal was beautiful, aimed at reaching a realm everyone longed for, but without the deterrence of the Night Leader, how should these gods, tormented to the point of resentment by the harshly cruel otherworldly rules of Cang Chu, be handled? They regarded the Night Nuwa Lineage and the Nuwa Lineage as their enemies. Could they really allow these people to cross the Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea, becoming the sole human clan to escape Cang Chu Prison?
Evidently, if they couldn't escape, they would certainly be like crabs in a cage, grabbing at their companions who tried to crawl out.
"Wu Hen, the situation has changed; the Cang Chu Old Gods want to annihilate us completely!" The voice of the Rat echoed in Wu Hen's ears. The situation shifted too suddenly; having barely defeated the unrivalled Night Leader using the wisdom of a mere mortal, what followed was an even more terrifying flood and fierce beast that couldn't be dealt with through mere wisdom, requiring absolute combat power to deter. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Conflicts have always been like this; to quell them requires both reason and holding onto truth with one's hands.
"We have no choice but to use fists to show them our resolve!" Wu Hen said.
