Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 551, Section 561: Qi Soars Over the Divine Beast

[You have encountered a special target: the Great Mortal God - Dou Xing Shen.]

[The Great Mortal God - Dipper Star God: The first constellation of the Northern Black Tortoise in the mortal world, who receives a salary from the stars, determines official rank and emoluments, and oversees gentle breezes, light rain, and the measurement of grains.]

You have entered a special area: the Douxing Muxie.

[The Wood Xie of the Big Dipper: The Wood Xie of the Big Dipper, one of the Seven Stars of the Flying Stars, is inauspicious on days when it is in power; it is unlucky for sacrifices and should not be used in any way, as it will bring disaster to all endeavors.]

[Note: Within the Douxing Wood Xie sacrificial site, when the Dou constellation encounters a fierce and competitive force, all living beings will have the character 'Dou' branded on their heart. Under this mark, their spirit is greatly influenced by the Dou seal, giving them a will to die, and they will not flee if they can. This mark cannot be covered by lower-level altars, nor can it be neutralized.]

[Note: This item exists in the Douxing Wood Xie Sacrifice Ground. Dou Su suppresses the star's strong fortune, increasing all attributes by 5% every so often. After knocking you back, your critical hit rate increases by 20%, and you enter a special 'Disintegration' state, reducing your defense attribute by 20%.]

[You have been observed by the Star God, Doumu Xie.]

[The Compendium of Mortal Gods is now available; information on the Star Gods has been partially unlocked.]

[You made contact with and fought against the Star God, successfully obtaining the Fate Fragment - Qi Chong Dou Xie (1/3) from him]

[The Twenty-Eight Constellations' Popular Deity Encyclopedia is now open. You have already unlocked the Great Popular Deity Encyclopedia of the Twenty-Eight Constellations: Kui Star God, Mao Star God, Kang Star God, Dou Star God...]

……

A terrifying force spread through the sky, and the blowing air caused the soldiers fighting below to pause in their actions and look up at the sky.

That was the oppressive aura emanating from a great mortal god, far more direct and clear than that of any other mortal god. The overwhelming divine power made one feel an irresistible urge to worship.

The secular prince, who had miraculously survived the war, stared wide-eyed at the sight, his shock almost overflowing.

Many of them had learned about the realms of gods and humans in the mortal world through various channels.

Below the mortal immortals, all are ants. Only by shedding the mortal form and becoming an immortal can one be on par with the common gods. And above the common gods, there are even greater common gods.

Reaching this level, one can pluck stars and chase the moon, overturn mountains and seas, possessing divine power that is the authority of all forces in the world, and all things must bow down to it; it is truly the god among gods.

And they are as far removed from the great gods as the distance between heaven and earth.

It's like a newbie who just left the starting village and suddenly encounters a big boss who's about to reach the maximum level in the game. This kind of despair is something most people can't understand.

Only then did they fully understand what kind of mission they had been given.

It's similar to joining a national war right after leaving the beginner village.

In this war, they were less than cannon fodder.

What horrified them even more was that the attack from the Great God of Mortals in the sky was actually blocked by a sword light.

The sharp sword light unleashed a sword beam that resembled a black sun, its powerful sword energy splashing across the wilderness, deflecting the enormous hand that blotted out the sky.

Lin Beixuan's killing mark between his brows emitted light as he stepped out and directly entered the sacrificial ground of the Star God.

While it's true that the lower-level altars of immortals and minor deities can be covered by higher-level altars, their divine domains are different.

The upgraded Nine Netherworld was in no way inferior to the sacrificial grounds of the Great Mortal God. The two were locked in a struggle, and terrifying divine power formed two surging energy tides, one black and one blue, in the air.

Lin Beixuan stood with his sword in hand, his cold eyes fixed on the giant cloud eye in the sky.

"I've been waiting for you!"

Without any unnecessary words, both sides immediately went into battle.

The fighting was fierce on the high ground, and after a brief respite, the soldiers on both sides resumed their battle below.

Lin Beixuan was now exerting his power to the fullest extent.

Since breaking through to the Human Immortal realm, he has never slacked off, and continues to nurture and refine his divinely created organs.

Above the Human Immortals are the Great Luo Immortals, who have never stopped pursuing power.

However, the Great Luo realm is no longer like the realm of summoning gods, where one can break through by refining divine organs, establishing incense temples, and transforming divine power. It has become more about comprehending divinity and the power of heaven and earth.

This cannot be rushed, so Lin Beixuan continued to solidify his foundation as before, and began to re-examine the magical methods and divine power that had accompanied him all the way.

"The Path to the Shrine of the Creation of Descendants - The Secret Method of Shen Tu!"

A mysterious power surged around Lin Beixuan, and a strange demonic aura emanated from him.

His body began to swell and grow taller... and soon he grew into a giant over a hundred meters tall.

Immediately, blood rain began to fall from the sky, and chaotic murmurs began to reach the ears of all the soldiers of the Liang King's army.

The blood rain fell rapidly, soon staining the snowflakes that were falling at the same time red, just like the red spider lilies blooming in the underworld, descending from the sky.

Using his former power once again made Lin Beixuan feel exceptionally good. His destiny and the divine organs within his body seemed to resonate at this moment, making the flow of his divine power incredibly smooth.

"I've fought the Twenty-Eight Constellation Gods before!"

Lin Beixuan carried the Choice sword, which had transformed into a demonic sword. As his body changed, the Choice sword also underwent an astonishing transformation. Not only did the size of the sword expand to match the size of Lin Beixuan's body, but the shape of the sword also became more ferocious. A blood-red aura flowed around the blade and hilt, and its sharpness seemed to subtly tear apart the surrounding space.

Before the Choice was made, it had been shattered by the Northern Frontier Desolate God, but Lin Beixuan picked up the fragments again, and the Choice was restored in no time.

Moreover, after its restoration, it seems to have absorbed some of the power of the Wild God. When it transforms into the Overlord Blade, it gains a more savage and heavy aura, while when it transforms into the Demon Sword, it gains sharpness and spirituality.

"It really is a demon!"

Upon seeing Lin Beixuan's transformed form and the demonic sword in his hand, the Star God above snorted coldly.

In Liang Wang Yang Li's description, he portrayed Lin Beixuan as a madman who loved to invade wildly. This time, he invaded Liangzhou, conquered cities and seized land, leaving countless people homeless, or even destroying their families and lives. He committed heinous crimes and was an absolute demon.

Dou Xingshen was already annoyed when Liang Wang suddenly woke him up while he was asleep, and hearing this made him even angrier. Seeing the Beiming army brutally slaughtering Liang Wang's army, he decided to smash them with one punch.

Lin Beixuan's appearance to stop him only fueled his anger to the extreme.

Without any hesitation, divine power and authority were unleashed, and the power of the Dou character suddenly pressed down on Lin Beixuan.

He recognized Lin Beixuan's extraordinary abilities, so he didn't hold back and attacked with all his might.

The sky darkened in an instant, the Big Dipper twinkled, and boundless stellar power transformed into a gigantic mythical beast that pounced straight at them.

Lin Beixuan took a deep breath, and the two powers of life and death and disaster transformed into flames that burned brighter and brighter on his body. After slashing the Xie Beast with his sword, he jumped into the sky and dragged the Star God to the ground.

Dou Xingshen is a tall, strange creature with a single horn on its head and a face resembling a tiger or deer.

After Lin Beixuan pulled him down, Dou Xingshen suddenly threw a punch, the power of the stars gathering into a beam between his fingers, and punched Lin Beixuan in the chest.

"boom!!"

Lin Beixuan took the blow head-on, and a sound like a morning bell or evening drum resounded from his chest. It seemed that the divine organs within his body had shifted under the force of the punch. This was the first mortal god Lin Beixuan had encountered who fought him head-on.

Most mortal gods seem to like to maintain their status and rely on magic to fight, but the Star God in front of him is different. He seems to be extremely good at hand-to-hand combat. With every punch and movement, he brought out the power of the stars to the extreme, making Lin Beixuan feel as if he had been hit hard by a meteor.

However, Dou Xingshen was not in a good position either, because as Lin Beixuan retreated, he swung his sword and slashed at him. The blade, imbued with the power of calamity, cut through his tough skin, and blue-green blood flowed out.

What troubled Dou Xingshen the most was that his wounds were unable to heal under the influence of the calamity's power.

After injuring Dou Xingshen, a prompt immediately appeared on the panel in Lin Beixuan's mind.

[You have obtained 2/3 fragments of the Qi Chong Dou Xie Destiny.]

When Dou Xingshen saw a smile on Lin Beixuan's face, his brows furrowed even deeper.

His full-force punch had barely caused any damage to the person in front of him, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Most importantly, he could clearly see that the person in front of him was a human immortal, not a great Luo immortal.

To withstand a full-force punch from a great mortal god with the body of a human immortal, yet suffer little harm himself, was enough to terrify the Star God.

"It's unimaginable. If he were to become the Great Luo, I'm afraid none of us mortal gods would be a match for him."

"Humanity has produced a monster!"

“Even Lu Chenjiang didn’t have such terrifying talent back then.”

"Or is it because I've been asleep for too long and my strength has regressed?"

Dou Xingshen even began to doubt himself.

However, after one punch, there was another; Dou Xingshen began a relentless barrage of attacks.

His punches carried a certain force, each punch seemingly imbued with the power of stars, not only pressuring Lin Beixuan's body but also causing his spirit to shrink back in fear.

In addition to the effects of the Douxing Wood Xie sacrificial field, Lin Beixuan felt that the power of each punch from his opponent was increasing, and divine power was surging within his body.

Meanwhile, outside the battlefield of Liangzhou, the once peaceful space suddenly rippled. A pale hand reached out from the crack, tearing open the space, and a thin figure dressed in a white robe walked out.

He looked at the battle not far away, and behind him, countless insects and butterflies appeared out of thin air, gathering into a chair that floated in the air.

"The organs of the Qiang gods in southern Xinjiang are indeed quite useful. Perhaps when I have time, I should go to the Ten Thousand Mountains to see if I can find some inspiration for experiments there,"

The Evil Spirit Lord revealed a strange smile as he slowly sat down on the butterfly chair behind him.

Then, he slightly turned his head and looked in another direction.

Purple light flickered there, countless ghostly figures roared, and skeletal arms formed a bone ladder in the void, descending from top to bottom.

The two earthly deities, one on the left and one on the right, emerged from the void first, standing respectfully to the side like two loyal servants.

They only followed behind the goddess Zigu as she slowly walked out.

"I didn't expect you to come too!" Evil Spirit True Lord said with a soft laugh, resting his chin on his hand.

"He is currently fighting in Liangzhou, and Luozhou is undefended. This is a good opportunity to occupy Luozhou."

Zigu Shen glanced at the Evil Spirit True Lord expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Why doesn't True Lord allow the Evil Spirit Army to conquer Luozhou?"

The Evil Spirit Lord shrugged: "You know, what interests me is not this so-called world, but other things. The reason I let the Evil Spirit Army attack from all sides is just to muddy the waters. I need to use the calamities born in the world to complete my experiment."

"Madman!" Zi Gu Shen narrowed her long, narrow eyes and suddenly said.

The Evil Spirit Lord chuckled, seemingly indifferent to the situation.

Zigu said, "Ever since he led the Northern Underworld Army away, I have arranged for the Chong Army to launch a full-scale attack on Luozhou."

"You look like you didn't succeed."

"No! The Chong army disappeared completely as soon as they stepped into the border of Luozhou, along with two of the mortal gods, leaving no clues whatsoever."

Zigu's calm emotions began to waver slightly: "Until I went there in person, I was ultimately warned and sent back by someone."

The Evil Spirit Lord raised an eyebrow: "Who is it?"

"The Twelve Zodiac Gods... the Heavenly Gang!"

Upon hearing this, the Evil Spirit Lord's pupils suddenly contracted, and his entire body seemed to tense up because of the words "Xiao Shen".

He said in a hoarse voice, "Back then, the mortal master was bound by a contract with the Dragon King to disappear from the mortal world, and it was stipulated that he could not get involved in the wars of mortal dynasties again. Does the mortal master not intend to abide by the contract anymore?"

Zigu Shen shook her head: "I don't know either. After being warned by Tiangang Venerable, I didn't linger."

If we say that a great deity is someone who can control the fate and life and death of all living beings in the mortal world, and even destroy some small dynasties with a wave of their hand.

But in the eyes of a secular ruler, it is still nothing more than something that can be arbitrarily taken away or discarded by the other party.

Just like the God of the Stars back then, who suppressed the hungry ghosts of Luozhou and a group of minor mortal gods without any power to resist, but was casually thrown into the Outer Heaven by the Venerable of the Heavenly Gang. Without the other party's permission, they could not even return to the mortal world.

The difference is as subtle as the difference between a floating object and the full moon.

After a moment of distraction, the Evil Spirit Lord revealed a sinister smile once again.

"Thinking about it, it's indeed time for these things to come to an end. After all, the wars in the mortal world are none of their business, but the order of the entire mortal world still needs them to maintain it. Once that thing comes, it won't just be some mortal dynasties that will be destroyed."

Zigu frowned and stared into the eyes of the Evil Spirit Lord: "So, what exactly is behind the door?"

The Evil Spirit Lord chuckled and was about to speak when his gaze suddenly shifted to the void not far away.

There, several figures appeared out of thin air. The leader was dressed in a magnificent robe and wore a crown. He had handsome features and a faint purple aura between his brows.

The people behind him followed quietly, watching the Evil Spirit Lord and the Goddess Zigu warily.

If Lin Beixuan were here, upon seeing one of the women, he would probably immediately guess the identities of this group.

The Evil Spirit Lord's smile widened as he sized up the leading man with greedy eyes.

He opened his mouth, revealing his teeth, and his divine power was like a lone sail in a torrential storm.

"I really didn't expect that even you, who are sitting in the high hall thousands of miles away, would come."

"Yang Guang".
