“One record decides if one accumulates good karma or not.” The god of court officials let out an angry snort after Gu Suihan brought his blade down with a force that threatened to swallow the sky. The deity brought out his natal weapon – the records of merit. Each record he made, and each book he created would decide how much merit each ordinary life deserved.
Gods were powerful because they had natal weapons. Gods did not have physical bodies, so the only thing they had to refine their weapons were their godly crystals. As a result, the weapons would naturally begin to be imprinted with traces of the laws of nature. These were a lot more powerful than the items that cultivators considered magic weapons. They were like a simplified, no-brand imitation local version of a dao weapon.
“Someone like you? You think you can judge me?” Gu Suihan snorted. He moved like an apparition, covering more than 300 meters in the blink of an eye. He suddenly appeared from behind that god and raised his saber. A flash of gold shone brightly, and the god shrieked as the saber sliced him into two. The roar of the fiendish qi from the saber swallowed up the frantic godly crystal from the god in a second, wiping out any life left in him instantly.
“You’re asking for it!” The city god looked furious as he raised a hand and summoned a seal that carried the vow power of millions of people from Fengyang. The sky darkened right away, and venomous, vengeful roars echoed in Gu Suihan’s ears, “Get out, get out, die, die…”
“Tsk. Vow power?” Gu Suihan’s expression turned frosty as he looked up indifferently at the seal hurtling down from the sky and was only a few dozen meters away from his head. He raised his hand, and his palm immediately gathered stars from outer space, his qi turning all of them into a whirlpool. A mist as black as a bottomless pit rose into the air and swallowed the seal whole without any problem at all.
“That’s…a god-level technique?” Not only did the city god reel back in horror, but even Tang Xiaoyun and the rest held their breaths.
“Why don’t you guess?” Of course, Gu Suihan wasn’t going to waste time answering dumb questions. He merely snorted and started brandishing his saber again. This time, his target wasn’t the city god, who had lost his natal weapon, but the kitchen god wielding a wooden club by the side.
“I am the kitchen god, the one who watches over the millions of fires that cook the food that the people eat.”
The kitchen god hit the ground hard with his wooden club, creating a huge wave of air. His small figure seemed to explode with never-ending energy as he raised a hand and blocked Gu Suihan’s attack.
“Oops, guessed wrongly!” Gu Suihan sniggered disdainfully as the left hand he had hidden in his sleeve suddenly grabbed hold of the stars, moon, and clouds in the sky, then pointed a finger at the city god.
Three Fingers of Yama – Ask Creation!
“Another god-level technique??!” The city god retreated in horror and flew into the sky as swiftly as he could, narrowly dodging that wicked finger of Gu Suihan’s.
“You can’t get away!” yelled Gu Suihan. He put his saber away, then appeared in a flash right behind the city god. He raised his palm and brought it own again. That same whirlpool reappeared, and the seal it had swallowed came crashing down heavily on the city god like a collapsing mountain.
“Humph! Using my natal weapon against me? How naïve.”
A sparkle appeared in the city god’s eyes for a moment. He waved his arm and caught the mighty seal, keeping it in his sleeve again. A divine light glowed from between his brows like the eyes of a god looking down from heaven, illuminating the entire area. He then shot a pillar of brilliant light toward his enemies.
“Empty Dark Frosty Light…”
Gu Suihan’s expression didn’t flinch. It looked as though smoke was billowing within his eyes. The sea of blood began to spread, and the sparkles of starlight glowed even more brightly as they came together and formed two exceptionally cold, bottomless whirlpools. It carried a tremendous suction power that instantly swallowed up that pillar of light.
“Sea of Blood – Boundless!” Gu Suihan laughed, his clothes flapping in the wind and his black hair flying wildly. His saber gave off a tinge of red as he brandished it in the air. The laws of nature around him began to shake. The trees and grass withered, stones and sand turned to powder, the yin qi from corpses gathered, and the ground shook as everything turned into a giant wave that contained a bloody stench, covering the entire temple in an instant.
“The laws of the five elements? It’s too bad that I don’t have a physical body. I’m so sorry for disappointing you,” said the city god with a snort. He raised a hand, and a beam of golden light shot out. The seal appeared once more. A strange beast formed around it, and it roared nastily as it surrounded Gu Suihan. It stared venomously at Gu Suihan with its bloodthirsty and vicious eyes.
“I’m not done.” Gu Suihan ignored the stare of the beast as he made a seal of his own and shot spell after spell out like rain. Bloodied runes filled the sky and spun rapidly in the air. It was as though something terrifying was hidden in the sea of blood, but there wasn’t even a ripple on its surface, like a pool of dead water. The rest watching the fight, couldn’t help but have a bad feeling about this.
“What’s hiding inside there?” Chamu instinctively removed the giant hammer on his back and held it in front of him as he focused all his attention on the silent sea of blood.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
All of a sudden, a faint roaring started to echo in everyone’s ears, an oddly hypnotic chant that seemed able to arouse the bloodthirsty instinct hidden deep inside one’s heart.
“Kill!” A low-level deity instantly lost his rationality when it heard this hypnotic chant. His eyes were bloodshot as he made a hand seal and flung it on a fellow deity.
“Kill! Kill!”
Gu Suihan’s lips curled upward slightly. As the city god continued to watch him warily and with some confusion, Gu Suihan casually threw the saber into the sea of blood.
Bubble! Bubble!
A bubbling sound like the sound of water boiling instantly resounded. The sea of blood below suddenly began to move, and the stench of blood coming from it grew stronger and stronger. At the same time, a pressure that felt like the weight of mountains came down on everyone.
ROARRRR!!!
A furious roar suddenly emerged from the depths of the sea of blood. The city god looked horrified as a giant wave arose, and an enormous shadow appeared from nowhere. The shadow held that strange-looking saber that belonged to Gu Suihan and brought it down at an angle.
“A…fiendish spirit!!!” The city god quickly realized what he was dealing with and barely managed to dodge that attack. He moved several meters backward in a panic while keeping his eye on that moving and pulsing shadow that continued to emanate wisps of fiendish qi.
At the same time, he summoned the seal back and made sure the green light from the seal covered him entirely.
“Time to die!”
A frosty and indifferent sneer rang out from behind the city god even though the city god had kept his eyes on the shadow and was ready for an attack. After hearing the sneer behind him, he had barely managed to move his power toward his back and got ready to block the sneak attack from behind.
But when the spell attack from behind hit him, he was surprised not because the attack was too powerful but because it was simply too weak. It felt like a child trying to punch an adult. There was no trace of any qi in the attack at all.
“Crap!” The city god noticed the tiny smirk on Gu Suihan’s lips and his heart sank. Immediately after that, he screamed in agony as the brilliant gold light that formed his humanlike body turned into nothing but gold dust and disappeared in the wind.
“AHHH!” A strange-looking crystal gave off pure divine power as it floated in the air and trembled nonstop. It let out a furious and murderous roar, “How dare you destroy my divine body!! I’m going to fight you with everything I’ve got!!!!”
“With everything you’ve got? And what do you have left?” Gu Suihan merely snorted at the city god’s threat. He waved his arm, and a giant hand measuring about three meters in diameter appeared, grabbing hold of the crystal even as the city god continued to yell angrily.
“Mountain River Green Seal, explode! Explode now!!!”
The city god was not some meek and timid character after all. He made a quick and bold decision to make his natal weapon explode so that he could take that opportunity to make his escape.
KABOOM! Runes shook and flickered continuously. Dao lines spun rapidly and howled without stopping. The ferocious beasts on the seal had a resolute look in their eyes as they prepared to die, staring straight at the giant hand coming for them and made one last sad roar as they pounced onto the hand.
“Fiendish spirit…” Gu Suihan blinked as he gave the command in his mind. Two beams of red light shot out from the boundless sea of blood floating in the air as well as the fiendish spirit made from the gathering of murderous, yin and fiendish qi like a pair of eyes filled with violence. The fiendish spirit stepped on the sea of blood and flew up higher.
It covered a hundred meters in a second, appearing next to the giant hand in an instant. It swung its saber and the beams of qi from it came down like rain and wind. The storm of qi it created crashed down on the ferocious beasts that had pounced onto the hand and crushed them. The beasts were then swallowed by the hungry waves of the sea of blood. Everything had happened so quickly, the beasts didn’t even get the chance to roar.
