Chapter 474: War Gospel (1/3)

The golden-light giant's expression changed abruptly.

It was actually that thing!

He had no time to think; golden light erupted from his entire body, as he tried to use the strongest power of sealing to force that thing, which was about to be awakened, back down, causing it to fall into stillness and slumber.

But it was too late.

The auras of those three monsters continuously gathered at the center, and a terrifying might rose up. First heard was the neighing of horses, followed by the sound of weapons clashing and metal striking metal, and finally the unified roar of countless soldiers, completely shaking the universe.

At the center of the triangle where the auras gathered and intertwined.

A phantom slowly emerged.

Li Heng watched everything before him. Before he could even see what this phantom looked like, in a trance of the mind, he saw war: war between people, war between man and heaven, war between man and immortal, war between immortal and immortal, an unspeakable war...

This phantom seemed to be the collection of all wars in the world!

Stabilizing his mind, he continued to look at this phantom. Li Heng discovered that this phantom had no fixed form; the result of its specific appearance would only collapse according to the observer.

He saw war, all war.

And so, the phantom before his eyes was a knight riding a horse, behind him the endless war, the slaughter of all living beings by living beings, bringing endless strife and turmoil!

Li Heng suddenly thought of a textual description.

"When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, 'Come!' And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword."

This was the New Testament of the Bible, the description of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the War Knight; it seemed to fit the situation before him perfectly.

And the situation before him was similar to the situations he had encountered previously regarding the True Gospel and the Death Gospel. Could it be that this was also one of the Gospels, perhaps it could be named the War Gospel?

While Li Heng was deep in thought, the golden-light giant roared and struck.

Golden light erupted, and divine sealing chains appeared, tearing through the air to lock onto the War Gospel, wanting to drag it back into the stillness of the seal and banish it back to that Unknown Place.

The golden-light giant knew that he absolutely could not let this War Evil God completely break free from the seal. Once it broke free, with his power alone, he would absolutely be unable to seal it back.

Otherwise, when that time came, the power of this War Evil God could easily cross the range of the infinite True Realm, radiate into the Great Void, and stage strife and turmoil in countless Great Thousand Worlds!

He felt secretly annoyed in his heart.

Why was it this War Evil God that broke through the seal and stillness?

Couldn't it have been another one?

Was that Self Disaster really not afraid of being devoured by this Evil God?

Back then, this War Evil God was considered very strong among the many disasters and monsters that attacked the Heavenly Court; many Sacred beings were helpless against it, and if it weren't for His Majesty taking action, it would have been impossible to seal it.

"I told you not to kill them all!"

"Hahaha, now you know fear!"

The Self Disaster laughed loudly, mocking him.

Of course.

Ever since this War Gospel appeared, his form could not help but tremble; it seemed he was afraid of the War Gospel.

"Kill!"

A murmur and low roar sounded, and the monsters distributed in three directions gathered together toward the center of the triangle, attempting to arch over the War Gospel to ensure it successfully broke free from the seal.

This was a bit troublesome.

Li Heng watched the events unfolding before him and evaluated it as such.

Although he was not clear how strong the hidden power of the golden-light giant was, he could perceive that this War Gospel was very strong; compared to the Death Gospel and True Gospel he had encountered before, it was only stronger, not weaker.

It absolutely belonged to a Disaster of the Shengsheng Cengci!

If it were really allowed to break free from the seal, then the fun would be huge.

One must know that the disasters sealed within this level were not just the War Gospel; there were other terrifying disasters and monsters, some of which were not even weaker than the War Gospel, or even stronger!

While he was deep in thought.

He accelerated his devouring and alteration of the Self Disaster's split body.

Now, he was only a split spirit here and could not conduct effective interference. He could only first resolve this Self Disaster split body, then use this as a base point for his main body to jump to this level, only then could he help a little.

And so.

The Self Disaster, still laughing triumphantly, felt something was wrong.

Because his split body was now suffering defeat after defeat, about to be completely devoured by Li Heng, and the evolutionary ideology was gradually being modified into Li Heng's ideology, completely escaping his control.

Moreover, this was a confrontation of the mind and thought, not purely of power, so once the split body was defeated, it would absolutely affect his main body and pollute the great evolutionary thought.

But when he wanted to mobilize the power of his main body to support the split body.

His main body was shot by the golden light of the golden-light giant again.

Although the golden-light giant had been resisting the three monsters and the War Gospel about to break free from the seal, he was not stupid enough to ignore the Self Disaster laughing triumphantly on the side, and was watching at all times.

Any unusual movement was directly interrupted.

The Self Disaster felt extremely stifled in his heart.

He now had power but nowhere to use it, and could only sit and watch his body being devoured, modified, and finally escaping his control by another. Even in the end, anomalies appeared in the ideology of his main body, faintly appearing with Li Heng's thought that was like heaven and earth, controlling everything.

This was a clash of the mind and thought.

The defeat of a split body was not simply the defeat of a split body.

It was like your main body splitting off a clone to conduct a debate of thought with another person, only to lose and be convinced by that person's thought instead. Then, even if you switched your main body to take the field, it would not be of much use, and instead, you would also be faintly convinced.

After all, the thoughts of the main body and the split body were the same.

Soon, the Self Disaster's mood turned gray; the split body he had infiltrated was completely devoured and modified by that living being, completely escaping his control.

This round, he had lost.

The New Self capture operation had completely failed.

He hurriedly cut off his connection with the split body to prevent his main body from suffering the same invasion and Pollution of thought as the split body. As it turned out, he was still a step too slow.

"Hehe, so this is your main body?"

Li Heng followed the connection that his Self Calamity had not yet fully revoked, directly invading the main body of the Self Calamity, and his form appeared within the Xin Linghai Yang of the Self Calamity.

"You really dare to come!"

In the Xin Linghai Yang, the Self Calamity also manifested a human form, looking at the Li Heng before him and speaking gloomily.

"Why wouldn't I dare to come? You had an ideological confrontation with me at the level of a split body and ended up defeated, so what can your main body do to me?" Li Heng said with a smile.

After arriving here.

He roughly figured out the level of this Self Calamity; its power was infinitely close to Sacred, much, much stronger than an ordinary Half-step Divine, but it was still very, very far from being truly Sacred.

This precisely confirmed his previous guess.

It is difficult to advance to Sacred by simply piling up power without limit.

If an ordinary Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth is compared to a great universe, then a Half-step Divine above the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth has transcended the great universe and can freely create and destroy multiple great universes.

Then the power of the Self Calamity main body before him is walking very, very far on the path of creating and destroying multiple great universes. An ordinary Half-step Divine would be doing well to destroy a few great universes, but the power of this Self Calamity main body could destroy thousands upon thousands.

If there were a sea of universes formed by countless universes, with one universe being one drop of water, then a casual strike from the power of this Self Calamity main body could sever this sea and destroy billions of sea areas.

Of course.

This kind of power looks Terror, but in reality, its essence has not changed much; it is still a piling up of quantity, failing to reach a qualitative change, let alone breaking through the final critical point to advance to Sacred.

"You need to understand clearly that things are not isolated, and thoughts also need power to support them, otherwise that is nothing but empty talk and delusion."

"The reason you were able to devour and modify my split body so easily is because my main body could not free itself and could not transmit power over, but you are now courting death by coming into my main body!"

The Self Calamity said coldly, speaking with anger.

"Then you may as well try."

Li Heng smiled dismissively and repeated his old trick, once again radiating his own thoughts and power, adding his own color to this Xin Linghai Yang, devouring and modifying the Jinhua Sunchao within it.

"You dare!"

The Self Calamity was furious, the entire Xin Linghai Yang heaving, intending to directly annihilate Li Heng's thoughts and power.

"Why be in such a hurry?"

"You pursue evolution, renewal, and iteration. And since I can devour your split body and modify and reverse it, it shows that my path is stronger than yours, so you should even more so follow my path."

"In a sense, isn't that also renewal, evolution, and iteration?"

Li Heng laughed aloud.

"Why try to fool me? Your words directly changed the core of evolution; your path is not evolution, renewal, and iteration either!"

The Self Calamity sneered in rebuttal.

If he had to modify his own path without limit every time he saw someone strong, and then kneel and lick other Calamities and monsters, he would have long since been merged by other Calamities and monsters.

"Your perspective is too small; this is clearly also evolution. You are truly too mechanical and metaphysical; no wonder you are a Calamity and not a Jinhua Sunchao that can benefit the civilization of the World."

Li Heng shook his head, sighing with emotion.

Actually, both sides had a point. However, in Reality, Li Heng held a certain upper hand, so what he said was more reasonable.

The Self Calamity did not answer.

Because he discovered that even within his own main body, the thoughts radiated by Li Heng were still difficult to deal with, and they continued to grow within this Xin Linghai Yang of his that was filled with Jinhua Sunchao.

He was shocked; how could this be?

This was his main body, blessed with the Terror power of the main body, unlike before with the split body where he had power but nowhere to use it, yet the situation was still the same as it was with the split body?

Could it be that this living being also possesses extremely Terror strength?

But that shouldn't be; what appeared here was only the majority of this living being's consciousness, not even his main body was here; it was not a home game but an away game.

How could there be such powerful strength to contend with him?

Furthermore, this living being's strength was not even Sacred; observing his aura, he was at most a Half-step Divine, and he had only just advanced not long ago, so how could he compare to him?

He knew this living being had a Terror Unknown factor or power, which was why he wanted him to become his new self, but this was just too Terror now.

So Terror that it made him doubt the facts, doubt that he had guessed wrong.

Li Heng remained smiling.

Indeed, things are not isolated but connected. Thoughts also need power to support them, just as truth is always within the range of the cannons, so his thoughts were supported by Source Power.

This is very reasonable, isn't it?

Before the Source Power was exhausted, the power of the Self Calamity's main body had no qualification to suppress his thoughts. After all, who told the Self Calamity to invite the wolf into the house, and who told the status of Source Power to be so high?

And after he had just devoured and modified the Self Calamity's split body, he knew a fair amount about many things regarding the Self Calamity, and he was clear about what power the Self Calamity had embraced.

His gaze was deep, recalling the scene he saw after devouring the Self Calamity's split body—chaotic, dark, and dim, appearing to be Void, yet impossible to define.

It was a piece of Unknown...

The Self Calamity had embraced the Unknown!

Only, if that were the case, he had questions in his heart.

Is this a thing that embraces the Unknown?

Or is it embracing the Unknown itself?

If it were the latter, then that would be Terror.

Just as he was thinking, while simultaneously devouring the Self Calamity's main body and analyzing the spacetime coordinates of this level to facilitate his own true self jumping in, the war situation outside between the Golden Giant, the Gospel of War, and the three monsters became clear.

The Golden Giant had fallen into a disadvantage!
