Chapter 575: Eternity Is A Curse
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After losing their leaders, both the Hall of Creation and the Hall of Might were defeated. With Jian Wang and the others joining the battle, it became a one-sided slaughter with the soldiers of both halls falling one by one.
The massacre lasted for about a few hours before the last enemy soldier was killed. Not even one of them was spared!
"Victory!"
"We won!"
The warriors of the Heavenly Sword Tower cheered with flushed faces. Some of them even cried as they screamed at the top of their lungs.
The bitter training that they underwent for more than fifty years was not for naught. They managed to defeat two of the strongest forces ever known to exist! Their victory would certainly be written in the annals of history and their names would never be forgotten by the next generation to come!
Jiu Shen took the Crimson God Armor from Hecate's corpse. This item was severely damaged but it could still be used once it regenerates back to its peak state. Without this armor, he could have killed Hecate effortlessly. The defensive abilities of the armor were critical during their fight and it proved to be useful in combat. The only issue was its long duration of regeneration.
"From the looks of it, this armor could not be used for a few years." Jiu Shen muttered as he stowed the Crimson God Armor inside his space earring.
From his position, he could already hear the excited cheers of his soldiers, but their victory didn't make him happy. His true enemy was still alive and kicking. Furthermore, this man wasn't like Hecate who was only proficient in body strengthening. This mysterious Lord of Asgard was said to be an expert in all fields and even Asmodeus couldn't find one fault in him. Hopefully, Lilith would give him valuable information the moment she wakes up. That was also the reason why he spared her for the time being. If she could not even offer a piece of information, then he would execute her immediately. There was no room for mercy towards their enemies!
Jiu Shen had no idea why he was so adamant about killing the Lord of Asgard. There was this feeling of profound fear and trepidation inside his heart that he couldn't explain. He didn't know where this terror came from, but he knew that this sensation would be washed away once he kills the Lord of Asgard.
***
Inside a castle in Asgard, a man wearing a white wolf mask can be seen sitting on a throne. He gave off a lazy aura, as if unbothered by worldly affairs. Only his eyes were visible, glowing with a mysterious light.
"At least the Universal Fragment wasn't wasted on that clone. Once he comes up here, I will devour... no... He is part of me to begin with, so the right term is to recover him and make myself complete once again. Hahaha!" The masked man laughed as he adjusted his posture.
Billions upon billions of years ago, he took a large portion of his soul by using a self-created forbidden technique. He then placed this partial soul in a newborn child's body and waited for many years for the child to grow.
His plan was to nurture this soul to the peak of the Celestial God Realm and devour it to extend his own cultivation.
He had been stuck at the Boundless God Realm and he showed no signs of breakthrough even after many years has passed. He didn't even know if there were still stages or minor realms in the Boundless God Realm. However, he still tried all kinds of ways to enhance his strength, but to no avail.
The last plan he came up with was to nurture a part of his soul to the peak stage of the Celestial God Realm and then devour it when the time comes. Unfortunately, Jiu Shen was killed by Lao Gou before he even reached the Celestial God Realm so he was forced to use a Universal Fragment to create a system and revive Jiu Shen.
This Universal Fragment was an item that was only birthed by the Universe after a long period of nurturing. Each universe can only give birth to one Universal Fragment and this item was capable of doing the most impossible things.
Initially, he planned to swallow this Universal Fragment, but he was afraid that he might not be able to absorb the energy inside the Fragment. Luckily, he also had the Hall of Life and Death, a Boundless-rank item that was responsible for holding the souls of the departed and the newborn. He chanced upon this item a very long time ago. He used this item to revive the dead Jiu Shen and create a body for him using the Universal Fragment. He then used the remainder of the Fragment to create the system for Jiu Shen. He spent years and a lot of resources for this and he could finally reap what he sowed back then.
"After many years of waiting, I can finally take a glimpse of what is beyond the Boundless God Realm! Jiu Shen, I'll let you live for now, but the moment you show yourself to me, I will immediately devour you! Hahaha! Don't make me wait for too long!" The man kept on laughing that the entire hall was already trembling from his loud laughter.
When his laughter died down, his gaze turned cold as he sat up straight. His eyes blazed like an ever-burning torch. "If there is nothing beyond the Boundless, then I will end this Universe together with me."
He had grown tired of living at the top after a very long time. If there is nothing else to aim for, then what use is living for?
As an expert at the Boundless God Realm, his lifespan is eternal. Many would say that having an eternal life was something to celebrate, but only those who experienced the longest years would know that eternity is but a curse...
