Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 834 The Truth of the Mythological Era
A chilling murderous intent flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes.
Tu Yingyi's indiscriminate slaughter of so many innocent lonely souls was unforgivable to Qiao Yu. Those souls had just been thanking him, and in the next moment, they were all annihilated.
Those souls had only pushed open the gates of the Underworld under his coercion; ultimately, he was the one who had harmed them.
Thinking of this, the Zhulong Crescent Blade in Qiao Yu's hand moved even faster, heading straight for Tu Yingyi.
Tu Yingyi's pupils contracted sharply; he had not expected Qiao Yu to hide within the boundless thunder.
After activating the Yang Shou Blade Technique, the Zhulong Crescent Blade descended from the sky and struck down fiercely. Its terrifying passive ability to ignore defense caused Tu Yingyi's body to be sliced in half as easily as if it were made of paper.
His pale face, now split in two, was filled with disbelief, as he seemingly hadn't anticipated that Qiao Yu could actually cleave him in two.
After Tu Yingyi's body was cut in half, a figure radiating golden light floated out from his severed form.
"You dare to injure my physical body! You lowly human, you are dead!"
Tu Yingyi's face became even more twisted, his gaze towards Qiao Yu filled with hatred.
Qiao Yu ignored Tu Yingyi and instead raised the Zhulong Crescent Blade, slashing it towards Tu Yingyi.
However, an unexpected scene unfolded for Qiao Yu: this strike passed directly through the golden figure.
A cold smile crept onto Tu Yingyi's lips.
"Fool! Did you really think you could kill a god? An overestimating fool."
"After igniting the divine fire of law, gods and ordinary people like you are no longer on the same plane of existence. As long as you haven't ignited the divine fire of law, then even if your strength is greater, you cannot harm a god in the slightest."
Qiao Yu was somewhat skeptical, and he subsequently used the Chaos Fire and the Nirvana Divine Lightning in succession.
However, no matter what he did, he could not harm the golden figure in the slightest.
Watching the futile Qiao Yu, the smile on Tu Yingyi's face grew even brighter.
Just as Hermes had said, as long as the true form could not be found, then existences who had stepped into the True God realm were immortal and indestructible.
The one that Qiao Yu had slashed was merely an agent of Tu Yingyi on earth.
As for Tu Yingyi's godhead, Qiao Yu had no way to deal with it at all.
"You wait! The next time we meet will be your death!"
Tu Yingyi left a cruel remark and prepared to leave.
After all, with only his godhead remaining, he could no longer pose any threat to Qiao Yu.
There were differences even among gods. Hermes could maintain powerful combat strength even with only his godhead remaining, but Tu Yingyi could not.
However, just as Tu Yingyi turned his head, countless white threads shot in from outside the gates of the Underworld, instantly piercing his godhead.
"Ah!!"
Tu Yingyi let out a shrill scream as even the space between his eyebrows was pierced by the white threads.
"If the true form cannot be found, then the godhead cannot be erased, but… godheads are not necessarily unsealable."
Zhang Erhe's voice came from outside the gates of the Underworld. Holding a horsetail whisk, Zhang Erhe tugged forcefully, and Tu Yingyi's godhead was pulled over.
Then, Zhang Erhe took out a treasure gourd. After opening the mouth of the gourd, Tu Yingyi's godhead was directly sucked into the gourd.
"No! You can't do this to me! I am a Netherworld General under the Yama King! If you dare to do this to me, you are making an enemy of the entire Underworld! No!"
Tu Yingyi was incomparably terrified.
Eternal life + a cage where the sun never shines.
The combination of these two was definitely the most terrifying torture in the world.
This point was deeply felt by those who forgot to bring their phones and had to read the ingredients on shower gel in the toilet. Even just ten minutes was incredibly tormenting, let alone endless time.
But no matter how Tu Yingyi struggled, his godhead was instantly sealed into the gourd by Zhang Erhe.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu's expression couldn't help but turn solemn.
Through the verification of actual combat, he was fully capable of dealing with the strength of a Tier 1 god.
But he could do nothing about the godhead.
Could it be that as long as the location of the true physical body could not be found, gods would truly be immortal?
Qiao Yu turned his gaze to Zhang Erhe.
"Zhang Erhe, what tier god are you now?"
Hearing this, Zhang Erhe was first stunned, then he chuckled.
"I'm not used to their Western gods' system of classification. According to our way of speaking, I should now be a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If I had to convert it to the Western gods' system, that would be a Tier 9 god."
Qiao Yu's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this. He took a deep look at Zhang Erhe, then asked calmly,
"Zhang Erhe, have you ever heard of the name Qiao Anqing?"
Zhang Erhe's face did not change, but a gleam of light still flashed in his eyes.
This change naturally could not escape the capture of the Ghost Eyes.
"Qiao Yu, don't ask so much. Let your father tell you the truth himself. I can only tell you that your father is a very remarkable fellow." Zhang Erhe shook his head and said.
Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes, then opened his mouth and asked,
"What do you mean when you say you're not used to the Western gods' system of classification? Are there other gods in this world?"
"Of course there are."
This time, Zhang Erhe answered extremely decisively.
"Since the beginning of the universe, Zeus of the West, Zhang Bairen of the East, Odin of the North, and Shiva of the South have each occupied a region of the universe."
"The gods of the four directions preached and spread their respective faiths within their own territories until that battle…"
A solemn light appeared in Zhang Erhe's eyes.
"That battle? Was it Ragnarok?" Qiao Yu quickly asked.
"Ragnarok? Ahahaha, can that even be called a battle? If Ragnarok can be called a battle, then the battle of that year… was clearly a cataclysm that destroyed the world!"
Zhang Erhe's thoughts were pulled into distant memories, which was when he fully comprehended the power of law, a scene that directly appeared in his mind.
It was a magnificent and vast gate, filled with a rich sense of majesty, causing everyone who saw this gate to feel an urge to worship.
A blue plaque hung on the gate, with gilded characters written on it—South Heaven Gate! (Nan Tian Men)
Countless heavenly soldiers and generals were stationed under the South Heaven Gate.
Anyone who saw this scene could not help but feel awe and fear.
Just then, a terrifying clap of thunder suddenly exploded in the calm clouds. That thunder went straight for the South Heaven Gate, directly shattering the South Heaven Gate.
A figure holding a thunder scepter and a brilliant golden shield appeared in front of the South Heaven Gate, followed by countless gods.
"I, Zeus, King of the Gods, today, the Eastern gods shall be destroyed!"
The voice rumbled like thunder, shaking the Eastern Heavenly Court, which had been silent for who knows how many years.
The Eyes of a Thousand Miles and Ears of the Wind, who were guarding the South Heaven Gate, were instantly stunned in place.
But this was not the end. Immediately afterwards, two more figures appeared, one of whom had three eyes and four arms, holding a trident, conch shell, water pot, drum, and other divine artifacts in his hands; the other figure wore an eye patch, having lost his right eye, and held a peerlessly sharp sword in his hand.
The terrifying fluctuations emanating from the two who appeared later were no weaker than Zeus, and they were similarly followed by a large group of gods.
Shiva, the supreme god of the Southern gods! Odin, the supreme god of the Northern gods!
The Eyes of a Thousand Miles and Ears of the Wind were instantly dumbfounded. They were just two gatekeepers, and where would they have seen such a battle?
Since countless years ago, after that monkey was sealed as the Victorious Fighting Buddha, who would dare to cause trouble at the South Heaven Gate?
The two brothers originally thought that these carefree days could continue, but seeing the gathering of the other three god forces, they immediately realized that something big was about to happen.
Ears of the Wind was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted loudly.
"Quickly go to Guankou to invite the Erlang Manifesting God!"
