Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 508, Section 518: Black Sun vs. Blood Moon

In the void, the goddess Zigu had slowly walked to the entrance of Forget-Worry Mountain, but she did not go in. Instead, she stopped in front of the mountain.

Zigu raised her head, her gaze sweeping around the mountain before she spoke calmly, "Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Qi?"

"I heard back then that the disaster in Luozhou was caused by geomancers from various dynasties trying to repair the dragon vein. In the end, the dragon vein could not be repaired, and instead the earth energy of Luozhou was damaged. Even the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Pagoda was smashed into pieces by the earth evil of the state and its whereabouts are unknown."

"I never expected it to be repaired!"

Zigu's tone was somewhat surprised, and a hint of greed flashed in her eyes.

"Although I really can't figure out how you managed to defeat the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost with your mere, low-level strength at the Divine Summoning Realm."

"But the victor is king and the loser is villain, and heroes are not heroes. I still acknowledge that you stand on the same side as me."

"But from today onwards, everything you have will be mine!"

Zigu Goddess took a step forward, and instantly sand and stones flew, thunder roared, and the blood moon in the sky seemed to press down, bringing a sense of despair and suffocation.

However, just as she stepped in, Ajiu, who was sensing with her eyes closed on the mountaintop, suddenly opened her eyes.

“It’s finally here!”

After sighing, Ajiu waved her hand, and the Golden Crow True Fire that had separated in the air instantly gathered together, forming a huge Golden Crow, which flew towards the direction of the Goddess Zigu.

The raging flames distorted the space as they burned. Zigu felt the heat gradually evaporating and drying her skin. She looked at the Golden Crow flying towards her and a smile appeared on her lips.

"It's just the Golden Crow True Fire."

As they chatted and laughed, a dark purple ice shield suddenly appeared in front of Zigu, blocking the Golden Crow True Fire.

This ice shield is like a transparent veil, light and flimsy, as if it could be torn apart with a single tear, offering absolutely no defensive capabilities.

However, it easily enveloped the Golden Crow True Fire, and the purple energy surged, soon devouring the Golden Crow True Fire.

Ajiu wasn't surprised to see this. If a great mortal god couldn't even break the Golden Crow True Fire, what kind of great mortal god would he be?

All she wanted to do was stall for time as much as possible.

At this moment, in her perception, Lin Beixuan's aura had changed to a form that she could no longer discern.

Like a vast ocean, yet also like a grain of sand on the earth, it is annihilated and reborn, over and over again, never ceasing.

After Zigu Shen easily dealt with it, Ajiu continued to arrange various abilities within the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda to obstruct it, but unfortunately, the effect was minimal, only slowing down Zigu Shen's pace somewhat.

Then, the decision was made.

Like the curtain falling from the sky, the sharp tip of the sword pointed directly at the head of the Goddess Zigu, as if it wanted to pierce her head from top to bottom.

Demon Sword - Azure Sky Curtain.

The chosen sword is light and agile, and incredibly fast, far surpassing the swords used in the mortal world that employ flying sword techniques.

The sharp sword light pierced through the divine domain beneath the blood-red world of the Purple Maiden Goddess, appearing above her head in the blink of an eye.

Zigu Goddess stared at the choice that was approaching her, her tone more delighted than when she saw the various abilities of the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda.

"This is... a Dao soldier!"

The so-called Daoist weapon is a very special type of weapon in the secular world.

These weapons are naturally inspired and have high potential for improvement. They are weapons that only a few ancient and powerful families would commission professionals to forge.

To forge such a weapon, the right timing, location, and people are all indispensable, and one also needs extremely high luck to have even the slightest chance of creating a Dao weapon.

The Dao soldiers that are born will be passed down from generation to generation by powerful clans, who will take advantage of their incredible growth potential to make them the clan's guardian weapons.

If Zigu Goddess only greedily wanted to possess the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda when she saw it.

The moment she saw the choice, Zigu was already excited and couldn't wait to get the other party.

Just as the choice was about to touch the top of her head, the robes of the Goddess Zigu fluttered wildly under the wind pressure generated by the falling curtain of the choice.

Zigu Goddess raised her palm, casually extended one finger, bent the knuckle, and gently flicked it upwards.

"when!!"

Like metal clashing, a crisp yet deafening sound echoed out.

On the ground beneath the feet of the Goddess Zigu, a huge circular magic circle suddenly lit up. From the faint outline of the shapes inside, it was clear that they depicted mountains, rivers, palaces, and towers, with white clouds beneath its feet and cranes flying among them.

According to folklore, Zigu was originally a celestial being who was banished to the mortal realm by the Jade Emperor after falling in love with a mortal.

For ordinary people who hear these rumors, they might feel sorry that Zigu has lost her status as a celestial fairy.

But for Zigu, perhaps the Heavenly Emperor bestowed more rewards than punishment.

But if the rumors are true, then why did Zigu become a wicked goddess who brought disaster to the people and led evil soldiers to slaughter one city after another?
No one knows what exactly happened, nor does anyone understand why the Goddess Zigu is so fond of the dynasty's hegemony.

To those who suffered, the appearance of the Goddess Zigu was a disaster, and the legends were no longer important.

A terrifying force emanated from Zigu's divine finger, and Jueze was sent flying backward by this seemingly light flick, spinning wildly in the air and emitting a buzzing tremor.

Zigu said calmly, "The soldiers are good soldiers, but they are not mature enough and have no master by their side, so they can't exert their full power. At most, they can only hurt some minor gods."

Ajiu flew into the air and grabbed the hilt of the Choice Sword. Looking at the fine cracks appearing on the surface of the sword, she said with some worry, "You are really brave. Even I am afraid. You dare to resist the power of the Great God of Mortals."

"Now that the sword is cracked, you don't know how long it will take to repair it."

As the sword made a slight movement, as if responding to Ajiu, the blade melted and reformed like soft clay, instantly transforming into a heavy broadsword.

Although the sword was transformed into a blade, the cracks caused by the goddess Zigu still remained.

Ajiu was startled when she saw this: "You still want to go?"

Feeling the power surging on the blade, Ajiu sighed and said with some relief, "That's right, we have to face this challenge whether we want to or not."

"Then let me temporarily be your commander!"

As she spoke, Ajiu let out a low shout, her entire body surging with Xuanhuang power. She channeled this power into the blade, causing the previously somewhat dimmed Choice to unleash astonishing power once more. Even the cracks on her body were temporarily concealed by the surge of Xuanhuang power.

Immediately, Ajiu stared at the Goddess Zigu, her little face resolute.

"If I were in my prime, so what if you were a great god of the world? I could still subdue you."

Zigu smiled upon hearing this, a serious look appearing in her eyes: "Using spirit to control spirit is quite rare."

At this moment, Ajiu looked like a little girl, yet she held a large sword that was longer than her body without any sense of incongruity.

The power of Xuanhuang surged wildly, and Ah Jiu, wielding the Overlord Blade, vanished instantly, leaving only wisps of golden flames in place.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda is used in conjunction with the decision.

Lin Beixuan's two divine artifacts unleashed their full power.

Overlord Blade - Soul of Shadow.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda - Mysterious Shadow Traces.

At this moment, the Xuanhuang sword, imbued with the terrifying power of the Overlord Blade, fiercely slashed towards the Goddess Zigu.

"Tear!!"

The sky was torn in two by its terrifying power, the clouds splitting apart and stretching to the horizon as far as the eye could see. The Earth Fiends and others outside Forget-Worry Mountain, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but shrink their pupils in horror.

"Could it be that the Lord of the Northern Underworld has successfully broken through?"

"No, I haven't sensed the aura of the newly born immortal yet. Instead, I sense two other unfamiliar powers that don't belong to mortal gods or immortals."

The seven turbid eyes of the Earth Fiend God were fixed on the front, his expression solemn.

The wall god, on the other hand, was completely relaxed.

"Don't make a fuss. Do you really think Her Majesty will lose?"

"Even if the true form of the Evil Spirit True Lord were to descend, Your Majesty would not be inferior in the slightest. Apart from the twelve mortal masters of the Zodiac Gods who are no longer in the world, no one in this world can make Your Majesty retreat."

The Earth Fiend God nodded upon hearing this, but a vague sense of unease lingered in his heart.

It could sense the flow of fortune, and it sensed in the darkness that the fortune of itself, the Blood God, and the Wall Gods was decreasing, which made it feel somewhat uneasy.

But with the goddess Zigu present, they really couldn't think of anyone who could pose a danger to them.

The Earth Fiend God turned around and glanced at the Fox Spirit God and the others. He saw that the other party was also looking at the huge trench in the sky, as if he had guessed something, but he was not quite sure.

Just then, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from the sky above Mount Wangyou.

The Earth Fiend's attention was drawn to the scene. Blood clouds filled the sky, which grew increasingly dark, and a terrifying dark purple light shot out diagonally with overwhelming force.

The goddess Zigu was surrounded by a strange and peculiar power, resembling a demon god. Her embroidered shoes lightly touched the air, and her gorgeous and exquisite clothes were somewhat torn.

Her dark red eyes were fixed on Ajiu, who was blocking Lin Beixuan's way not far away, and she exclaimed in admiration.

"You guys are really great!"

The tattered clothes of the Goddess Zigu slowly wriggled and, as if they were alive, glued back together.

If you look closely, you'll find that her clothes are not ordinary at all, but rather formed by countless tiny ghosts piled together.

Ajiu was panting heavily, her figure somewhat ethereal, and cracks appeared on her skin in many places, as if she had made a choice.

She was like a piece of porcelain that had been struck on a boulder, on the verge of shattering completely.

Ajiu glanced back at Lin Beixuan, who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"Hold on a little longer!"

She sighed inwardly, then wielded the Overlord Blade and charged at the Goddess Zigu once more.

"It's useless," said Zigu Shen calmly. "Even if he successfully breaks through to become a Human Immortal and awakens now, so what?"

"Without adapting to the power, even if you can use divine power, you still can't defeat me."

Zigu raised her hand to block the Overlord Blade, and countless vengeful spirits roared on her robes, greatly weakening the Xuanhuang power on the Overlord Blade.

When Ba broke through the vengeful spirit's defenses, the divine power of the Goddess Zigu flowed beneath his robes, preventing any damage to the Goddess Zigu from any of Ajiu's strikes.

The difference in strength between the great and lesser mortal gods is like an insurmountable chasm, not something that can be easily crossed.

As Zigu raised her hand, a magnificent, illusory palace crashed down and landed on Ajiu.

Ajiu resisted fiercely, and the towering Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda flew out and collided with the palace.

The contact between the two created a massive ripple of power that spread outwards like a tidal wave.

"boom!!"

Ajiu's figure became even more ethereal, and the blade of her choice was covered with countless cracks.

In contrast, the Goddess Zigu remained calm and composed, though her clothes appeared somewhat thinner.

She waved her hand, and Ajiu grabbed the decision in her hand with her strength and threw it onto the cliff behind her.

"After I've dealt with him, I'll deal with you. Once I've refined you again, you'll be mine."

Zigu smiled and walked towards Lin Beixuan. Her dark purple divine power transformed into a giant skull, which swallowed Ajiu whole.

Powerless to resist, Ajiu could only watch helplessly as the Goddess Zigu walked up to Lin Beixuan and pointed a finger at his brow.

Looking at the mark on Lin Beixuan's forehead, Zigu Shen couldn't help but sigh, "Heavenly Tribulation Killing Mark. If I had waited for you to grow a little longer, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to deal with you."

"but now……"

The energy gathered at the fingertips of the goddess Zigu was like an embroidery needle.

"Throughout the mortal world, there are many who are more talented than me, and in the heavens, there are countless who use divine powers to suppress me."

"Only those who truly grow up can be honored as geniuses; otherwise, they are nothing but fleeting clouds and illusory dreams."

As she spoke, Zigu flicked her finger, and the embroidery needle shot towards Lin Beixuan's brow.

However, to Zigu's surprise, the Soul-Destroying Needle she flicked stopped just centimeters from Lin Beixuan's brow, unable to penetrate it.

"Ok?"

Zigu Goddess narrowed her eyes, and terrifying divine power erupted from her body. The space was distorted beyond recognition by the powerful force, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Even so, the Soul-Destroying Needle remained firmly in place, unable to advance even an inch further.

Zigu's face darkened. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the ancient scroll that had appeared on Lin Beixuan's chest at some point.

"call--"

The wind blowing from the mountaintop caused the ancient scroll to turn pages in rapid succession, and strings of complex and obscure black characters danced and leaped from the pages, while an ancient and mysterious aura spread out like wisps of smoke.

Zigu stared intently at the ancient scroll, then looked at Lin Beixuan after a long while, her face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"The Book of Life and Death!"

"It was all because of you?"

Zigu Goddess roared in fury, she never expected that Lin Beixuan would be the master of the underworld.

Not long ago, out of fear of the underworld, she halted her offensive against Xuanzhou and refrained from large-scale massacres.

It turned out that the group of underworld figures were actually Lin Beixuan's subordinates.

This made her feel like she had been played.

"I hate it when people lie to me!"

The divine power of the Goddess Zigu surged wildly, like a tsunami, raging outwards from her center. Several mountain peaks around Forget-Worry Mountain were instantly reduced to dust under the impact of this power.

The blood moon drew ever closer, and countless dark purple rays of light poured down, transforming into a colossal sword that seemed to reach the heavens and pierce through the sky.

"Ding--"

Suddenly, a giant, illusory hand reached out, its middle and index fingers striking each other to catch the blade of the greatsword.

Zigu suddenly raised her head and saw a figure standing alone in the world, with long hair dancing lightly in the wind, and eyes that were deep inside like black holes that devoured everything, while the outer rings were burning with inextinguishable black flames.

Beside her blood moon, a black sun hung high in the sky, its light containing boundless killing intent, and crashed towards the blood moon.
