154: Another sneak attack

The Lord of the End roared, his entire being transforming into a pitch-black black hole.

"Everyone, step aside! Let me handle this!"

Immediately after, the all-devouring black hole and the surging dark energy collided violently in mid-air, and the sky of the entire Tianwu World seemed to be torn in half.

On the ground, countless cities turned to dust in the shockwave, and living beings looked up at the doomsday-like scene in terror, trembling.

This clash of powers caused the very laws of the entire world to begin collapsing.

The sky was like a shattered mirror, with eerie dark light seeping through the cracks.

The earth also split open into bottomless ravines amidst violent tremors.

Just as the Lord of the End and the two Lords of Corruption were locked in a fierce battle, suddenly—

"Swish!"

A dazzling golden light streaked across the sky, and a massive longsword, entwined with brilliant divine patterns, descended from the heavens, plunging into the center of the battlefield with a crash!

A rampant divine power instantly erupted, forcing both warring parties back.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Tianwu World?!"

A furious roar echoed through heaven and earth, as a deity clad in golden armor, with six pairs of light wings spread behind him, stepped through the air.

With each step he took, a sacred lotus bloomed beneath his feet, and even the shattered space slowly healed before him.

—It was none other than the guardian god of the Tianwu World, the Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord!

The Lord of the End steadied his figure, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Oh? I didn't expect such a world to have a strong individual like you?"

The Lord of Deception and the Lord of Corruption exchanged glances, a strange smile appearing on their lips.

"Perfect timing."

The Lord of Corruption whispered,

"A character like you, full of light, the Dark Demon God will surely like him very much."

The Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord's gaze was sharp as he swept over the three of them, and upon seeing the familiar abyssal aura on their bodies, his killing intent instantly surged.

"As expected of the Abyss's scum, you're courting death!"

He raised a hand, and the giant sword embedded in the ground immediately flew back into his grasp, its blade erupting with a myriad of lights as it struck directly at the Lord of the End!

"Boom—!"

The Lord of the End hastily condensed a black hole barrier to block, but he was sent flying back tens of thousands of kilometers by this single sword strike, and the dark golden patterns on his body also dimmed considerably.

"Interesting."

He licked the corner of his mouth, a hint of excited smile appearing,

"It seems this world is more interesting than I imagined, which makes playing around even more exciting."

The Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord snorted coldly, preparing to strike again—

"Pfft!"

A section of a pitch-black blade suddenly pierced through his chest!

"What?!"

The Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord spun around abruptly, only to see that the Lord of Deception had appeared behind him at some point, holding a dagger forged from pure darkness.

"Hehe, the Dark Demon God says hello to you~"

The Lord of Deception revealed a sickly smile.

"Despicable!"

The Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord roared, and the divine power within his body instantly erupted, directly sending the Lord of Deception flying.

But before he could even catch his breath, his expression changed—the dark energy from that dagger was rapidly eroding his Tianwu destiny!

At the same time, the Lord of Corruption had silently appeared at the highest point of the sky.

She spread her arms, and a massive magic circle covering the entire sky slowly emerged.

"Darkness descends." She murmured softly.

As these words fell, the previously still magic circle suddenly began to tremble violently.

Immediately after, a chilling black light spewed forth from the center of the magic circle, as if it were power released from the depths of hell.

Within that black light, a colossal figure gradually materialized.

It was a six-winged angel, enveloped in thick black mist, its true form indiscernible.

He slowly raised his hands, and terrifying power surged from his palms.

In the blink of an eye, this power poured out like a breaching dam, transforming into a monstrous black tide.

This black tide, like the arrival of doomsday, swept across thousands of miles of sky in an instant.

Wherever it passed, whether human, demon beast, or vegetation, everything was instantly devoured.

Upon contact with the black tide, these lives seemed to lose all vitality, rapidly withered, and finally turned into pitch-black dust, scattering with the wind.

The Lord of the End witnessed this scene, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

"Hiss—is this the power of the Dark Demon God? This is too fierce!"

"Much, much fiercer than that guy Myriad Mirrors."

He immediately turned and shouted to the other Lords:

"Forget about those two traitors! Take action now, quickly kill everyone in this world, and offer their essence to Lord Myriad Mirrors!"

The six Abyss Lords let out sinister laughs in unison, transforming into six black shadows that plunged directly towards the continent below.

The Lord of Eternal Silence spread his arms, and countless grayish-white ripples spread out, causing all things to wither wherever they reached.

The Lord of Sin cackled, summoning billions of vengeful spirits, dragging entire cities into purgatory…

"No—!"

The Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord roared, his eyes bloodshot, wanting to stop them but being restrained by the dark power spreading from his chest.

He bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of golden divine blood, and shouted sternly:

"In my name, I summon the Tianwu World's destiny!"

Rumble—

A dragon-like roar came from deep within the earth, and nine brilliant pillars of light shot up from various parts of the continent, intertwining in the sky to form a golden array diagram that blotted out the sun.

The six Abyss Lords, who were about to wreak havoc, suddenly froze, as if held in mid-air by an invisible force.

"World Boundary Array?" The Lord of the End was shocked to discover that the dark golden patterns on his body were being scorched by the golden light.

"The Heavenly Dao Will of this world... can actually counterattack?"

Swish! Swish!

Just then, several golden lights broke through the air from within the Tianwu World.

"Lord Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord, we are here to assist you!"

Seven streaks of light streaked across the sky, transforming into seven powerful deities who descended upon the battlefield.

They were clad in divine armor of various colors, wielding divine weapons, and surrounded by the power of the Tianwu World's laws.

Leading them was an old man with white hair and beard, holding a long spear entwined with azure lightning—it was the head of the Tianwu World's Seven Great Guardian Generals: the Azure Sky Thunder Lord.

"Form the Big Dipper Demon Slaying Array!"

At the Azure Sky Thunder Lord's command, the seven quickly took their positions.

Seven streaks of divine power shot up into the sky, outlining the shape of the Big Dipper.

At the same time, the Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord endured the excruciating pain of the dark erosion within his body, formed a hand seal, and let out a low shout:

"Tianwu World's destiny, heed my command!"

The nine pillars of light instantly contracted, transforming into nine Golden Dragons that spiraled down, their roars shaking the heavens, and the laws of the entire world seemed to be responding to the guardian's call.

"Not good!" The Lord of the End's expression changed drastically. "Quickly retreat from the array's range!"

But it was already too late.

The Big Dipper starlight and the nine Golden Dragons intertwined into a net, firmly trapping the nine Abyss Lords.

The dazzling divine light, like countless steel needles, furiously pierced their abyssal bodies.

"Ah ah ah—"

The Lord of Sin screamed repeatedly, and the billions of vengeful spirits he had summoned vanished into ashes in the divine light.

The Lord of Eternal Silence tried to use his power of annihilation to resist, but then the Azure Sky Thunder Lord took a step forward, his long spear thrusting directly, and a bolt of azure lightning pierced through his chest:

"Mere power of annihilation, dares to be presumptuous before me?"

"Dares to be presumptuous in my Tianwu World?"

Just then, the Lord of Deception suddenly burst into laughter.

When he reappeared, he had already flashed behind the Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord, a pitch-black dagger quietly extending from his hand.

It was another stab aimed at the Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord's back.

"Hey, I say, aren't you guys being a bit too disrespectful to me? I already stabbed you the first time, how can the second stab still be so easy!"
