Godslayer: Starting with a sword god, the Night Watchers can't hold on any longer.

Chapter 472 The Ending Battle (Part )

"So they're starting to fight tooth and nail now...?"

Sensing the divine power emanating from the [Key to the Gate] trapped within the sword formation, Li Jie casually reached out and touched it.

Immediately afterwards, the Zhuxian Sword, which was wrapped in crimson-gold runes, burst into a brilliant light.

At the same time, the mournful howl of the Key to the Gate came from mid-air.

"This fifth universe should never have existed in the first place!!"

"You will all die!!!"

"That great one will surely descend upon the world!!"

“I know.” Hearing His frantic voice, Li Jie nodded calmly.

"He's already by my side, isn't he?"

???

Although Li Jie's voice was very low, it truly reached the ears of the Key to the Gate.

What does he mean by this?

Could it be that he... has already noticed the difference in that boy?

impossible........

Before absorbing the soul of [Chaos], even I couldn't see through the boy's true identity.

How could a white-haired guy who transmigrated from another world possibly know all this!

"I'll handle his matter. As for you..."

"It seems more appropriate to have someone else handle this..."

After speaking, Li Jie turned around and looked at An Qingyu, who was standing outside the Gate of Truth.

"Once the sword formation is activated, that body will definitely be gone, and the soul of the [Key to the Gate] will also be severely damaged."

"This is an opportunity."

“I know.” An Qingyu nodded.

"This step was actually part of my plan. If you don't act now, I can completely strip the [Key to the Gate] of its authority in three years."

"That's your style." Hearing this, Li Jie smiled slightly, his thoughts drifting back to the time he spent living in Cangnan.

"Experience tells us that you should never go against a smart person."

Upon hearing this, An Qingyu added in a timely manner.

"And... don't go against perverts."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. Then, Li Jie's right hand, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly clenched.

Immediately afterwards........

The ancient seal script that appeared in the Zhuxian Sword Formation suddenly contracted.

In just a moment, millions of sword energies surged in the endless deep sky like starlight spilling out when the heavens shattered.

The distorted void where the Key to the Gate stood was completely twisted into nothingness.

Just after the aftershocks of the sword formation dissipated, a strange spatial fluctuation hurriedly fled into the Gate of Truth.

Seeing this, An Qingyu no longer hesitated and followed the shattered soul of the [Key to the Gate] in pursuit.

It also incidentally incorporated the mysterious Kryptonian system, which was still floating in deep space, into that ancient, golden portal.

Without the divine power of the Key to the Gate, the four supreme god-kings who were fighting the Three Pure Ones were like robots that had run out of power, slowly stopping and finally turning into dust and dissipating in the wind.

"finished?"

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun gently brushed the dust off his body and said softly as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Probably, aren't the [Key to the Gate] all dead?"

After scanning the deep space battlefield once more and confirming that there was nothing amiss, the Celestial Venerable of Morality recalled the nearly broken peach wood sword and sheathed it to nurture its energy.

"This old Taoist priest is exhausted. These resurrected things are damn tough..."

"Where's Brother Lei?" Lingbao Tianzun ignored Daode Tianzun's complaints and instead scanned the surrounding battlefield, only to find...

Unbeknownst to anyone, Li Jie had vanished from the battlefield, taking Lin Qiye with him along the way.

"That kid Li, he's gone missing again?"

"Three Celestial Venerables, the Key to the Gate is dead. The mist on Blue Star should soon dissipate. I would like to ask you all to lead the immortals to connect with Zuo Qing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch, to discuss the reconstruction."

"Qi Ye and I have some other things to do. See you in Great Xia later."

Sa——!

Just as the Celestial Venerable of Morality was about to say something, Li Jie's familiar voice suddenly boomed in the deep sky.

Is there anything else to do?

This kid didn't even explain what it was about. What if he needs our help?

Pulling themselves back to reality, the three Celestial Venerables looked at each other, speechless for a moment...

"Well, since that's what Li said, he must have his reasons."

"We don't need to worry too much. After all, even the Key to the Gate is no match for him. There is no power in this world that can threaten him anymore."

"That's for sure..."

"Alright, all immortals, heed my command!"

"The general is here!"

"........"

"Let's get our spirits up...we're going home!"

A moment later, after all the hundreds of divine streaks of light disappeared into the Heavenly Court, the Primordial Celestial Venerable waved his hand and took the lead in breaking through the atmosphere and flying towards the direction where the Great Xia stood.

Meanwhile, on a small meteorite about three light-years away from Earth, Li Jie looked at the somewhat bewildered Lin Qiye and didn't know how to start a conversation.

"Brother, you didn't bring me here for a vacation, did you?"

Finally, Lin Qiye broke the silence by speaking first.

"I do have something I want to ask you."

"Just say it."

"Have all the patients from your hospital been discharged yet?"

Hospital?

So that's what Brother Li wanted to ask.

"They've all been discharged. Except for the last ward which is a bit strange, the deities in the other five wards have all been treated."

"So, you haven't seen the patient in the sixth ward?"

"Brother, have you forgotten? Isn't the patient in the sixth ward the Chaos? Back in Asgard, He forcibly broke through the laws of the hospital and escaped into the void. Wasn't He there to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jie gently shook his head.

"Chaos is indeed hiding in the hospital, but it is not the real patient in the sixth ward."

Is chaos not a patient?

Why did He come out of the sixth ward?

etc........

It seems there are some details that I've actually forgotten.

After breaking through the sixth ward, Chaos did not immediately seek a way to leave, but instead expended its divine soul power to repair the cracks that had appeared on the door.

He was about to be discharged from the hospital, so why did he go to such great lengths to repair a door that had nothing to do with him anymore?

Is He trying to cover up some unspeakable secret...?

"Is something on your mind?" Seeing Lin Qiye's thoughtful expression, Li Jie patted his shoulder and asked softly.

"Something definitely isn't right..."

Then, Lin Qiye recounted the entire situation to Li Jie.

After listening, Li Jie understood.

Azathoth is indeed still lurking in the hospital, preparing to seize the opportunity to corrupt Lin Qiye, the embodiment of the Fifth Universe's will, and then destroy the entire universe.

If that's the case...

"Seven Nights, can you take me into the hospital?"

"I can, but this ability is new to me and I'm not very proficient at it yet."

"It's okay, just take me out to clear my head."

At this point, Li Jie gave Lin Qiye a reassuring smile.

Although the latter didn't really understand why his older brother insisted on going to the hospital, it seemed he had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, then relax, don't be surprised by anything you see later."

A moment later, Lin Qiye grabbed Li Jie's arm and vanished into space.

A flash of light pierced through the thick fog, and a magnificent complex of buildings appeared before the two.

Lin Qiye glanced at Li Jie first, and seeing that the latter's expression was still relaxed, he put aside his doubts and stepped forward to push open the heavy hospital door.

I know—!

With the sickening sound of the door opening, Li Jie's vision gradually cleared.

After passing through the ancient and dimly lit corridor, the two figures finally stopped in the central garden.

"The left side is the ward, and the right side is the living area."

"How was it, bro?"

"Isn't it just like a real mental hospital?"

"If you didn't know about your mother and the others, would you have guessed that five supreme gods once lived here?"

"I really don't know if it's the same as in reality, since I've never been to that place, but..." After hearing Lin Qiye's question, Li Jie chuckled and shook his head, saying.

"Compared to the last one, the first five supreme gods seem to be much inferior."

"Who is this last one?" Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye's curious gaze also turned to the tightly closed door at the very back of the second floor of the hospital.

"Him? The supreme being of the Cthulhu pantheon, the culprit who destroyed four universes, the embodiment of a mad universe, Azathoth..."

boom! !

Li Jie's calm voice exploded in Lin Qiye's ears like a thunderclap.

The person imprisoned in this sixth ward is... Him?!

Seeing Lin Qiye's incredulous expression, Li Jie simply reached out and gently placed his hand on Lin Qiye's shoulder.

"Although you may find it hard to accept this result right now, it is the truth."

"Whether you like it or not, you are the embodiment of the Fifth Universe's will."

Am I the embodiment of the Fifth Universe's Will?

That doesn't make sense...

Is the will of the universe... really that weak?

The amount of information Li Jie provided was too much for Lin Qiye to process at once.

But the former still didn't give him time to react.

"Next, I will inject the true energy from my dantian into your body. If converted into spiritual power, it should be enough for you to step into the supreme realm."

"Only then can you truly open this sealed sixth ward, which will also be our chance to eliminate Azathoth here."

"But brother, even if I have supreme power, can I defeat Him?"

“I’m still here, aren’t I?” Hearing Lin Qiye’s hesitant voice, Li Jie spoke up to dispel his last concern.

Yes.

With Brother Li by my side, what do I have to be afraid of?

Having come from Cangnan, this young man, who is not much older than himself, has been creating miracles.

This time, there will be no exception!

"I understand. So what should I do next?"

"You don't need to do anything. The moment you break through to the highest level, He will be unable to hold back and will appear to eliminate you, this unstable element."

"........."

"Why does this sound so creepy?"

"You have no choice now, the die is cast!"

After saying that, Li Jie did not give Lin Qiye a chance to refuse. He mobilized the pure and hot true energy in his dantian and slowly introduced it into Lin Qiye's slightly immature body through his palm.

The seven-colored true energy was extremely gentle, and Lin Qiye, as the beneficiary, couldn't help but let out a very comfortable groan.

As time went by, the aura he exuded also grew stronger.

About ten minutes later, with a 'pop' sound, Lin Qiye, who had just entered the realm of the main god, successfully broke through to the supreme level with the help of Li Jiedi!

"Is this the power of the Supreme Realm?"

"It feels really good."

After saying that, Lin Qiye clenched his powerful fists and said excitedly.

"Don't rush, the main event is coming up next."

Puff-!

Puff-!

The moment Lin Qiye stepped into the Supreme Realm, the empty Gods Mental Hospital suddenly erupted with a series of strange tremors.

The source of the tremor was precisely where he had never ventured...

The sixth ward!

"Is it coming?"

dong dong——!

dong dong——!

A heavy knock sounded on the door, and a thought drifted out from the sixth ward, instantly entering Lin Qiye's brow.

'Open that door!'

'That's your only hope of entering a higher-dimensional universe!'

'You are Azathoth!'

'The supreme ruler of this universe!'

'Once you open this door, you will gain unprecedented power!'

'Come back.......'

"Come back to my embrace!"

Countless chaotic thoughts nearly tore Lin Qiye's soul apart.

The intense pain caused him to unconsciously squat down and violently pound his head.

"No... I am not Azathoth!..."

"I am Lin Qiye!..."

"I have always been Lin Qiye!..."

As he lay on the ground groaning helplessly, Li Jie, who was standing to the side, simply watched the scene quietly without offering any help.

The reason is simple: only he can get through this hurdle.

If even this embodiment of the fifth universe's consciousness couldn't withstand Azathoth's delirium.

Even if Li Jie can temporarily suppress Azathoth, at some point in the future, He will still descend again through Lin Qiye's consciousness.

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. I hope this decision makes sense...

That's correct, isn't it...?
