Chapter 424 The Death Countdown of the Heavenly Eclipse Lord (13)

The next day, Yunmeng Marsh, Bronze Island.

"Is this Xiangliu's head?"

Standing in front of the tall tree with human heads, Xi Luo looked up at the newly hung snake head with great interest.

Unlike Qingfu and Muzheng, that snake head was the genuine head of a celestial being, one of Xiangliu's nine heads.

Even when combined with the tree with the human head, its ferocity remains undeniable.

"If you ask me, that kid just likes to make trouble for himself."

“You could have just left this head in the forest, why did you insist on making me bring it back?”

It transformed into a black and white greyhound, perched on a tree branch.

For once, the Heavenly Lord showed a hint of fatigue.

Five years of tireless work had worn him out, even for a god of his stature.

Moreover, in order to prevent Xiangyao's blood from polluting the land along the way.

The Heavenly Lord continued to circulate the power of Yin and Yang, which is how he successfully brought it back to Yunmeng Marsh.

"Hasn't the child always had this personality since he was little?"

"Moreover, although this tree of human heads is a kind of seal, it is also a means of prolonging life."

"Although I'm not interested in this, my child has always liked to study strange and unusual things..."

"Xiang Liu's head, his poisonous blood that can corrupt all things—aren't you interested in these things?"

Upon hearing this, Eclipse Lord rolled his eyes quite swiftly.

“I’m not like that kid. He’s curious about everything unknown.”

"I'm just a typical pragmatist. If that kid ever comes up with any new curses or supernatural powers, I'd be interested in learning about them."

"As for now?"

"I still have to deal with another Soul Jade, so please don't disturb me for the time being."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Tianjun turned around and disappeared from the bronze island.

Xi Luo knew that he had gone to the [Yunmeng Yaochi Realm] to refine the remnant spirit in the Hidden Flying Soul Jade.

"This time... how many years do you plan to spend?"

With a complex expression, he watched the Eclipse Lord disappear.

Xi Luo knew she couldn't persuade him, so she could only let him sink deeper into despair.

In Li Boyang's words, finding the soul jade left behind by the Huaijiang witch had become the obsession of the Heavenly Lord.

Xi Luo has long since accepted Wu Yao's death.

And with Li Boyang's help, he broke free from the shackles that had bound him for thousands of years and truly embarked on his own future.

On the other hand, once Shi Tianjun, trapped by his past, gave up his obsession with finding the Soul Jade, he lost all reason to continue living.

"A fool who is obsessed with the past will eventually drown with his obsession."

Just then, Xiang Yao, who was hanging on the tree with human heads, spoke.

It is obvious that Xiang Yao, one of the nine leaders of Xiang Liu, is very clear about Shi Tianjun's past.

Even in the Great Xia Dynasty, where powerful figures abound, the Eclipse Lord, who possesses the power to devour the heavens and the sun, is definitely one of the top-tier gods.

However, he disappeared for over a thousand years after the death of the Huaijiang witch.

Xiang Yao was unclear about what had happened over the past thousand years.

But he could see that the Heavenly Lord of Eclipse had lost the vigor and courage he had a thousand years ago.

Gods, especially celestial beings, value the enduring nature of their will.

As long as the will remains, even if one dies, there is a possibility that one can be reborn as a ghost or god and return.

Although the current Eclipse Lord is now more powerful and unpredictable in terms of strength, his will has reached its lowest point in his life.

"Even if that stupid dog is stupid, it's still not as good as you, who only has one head!" The ribbon behind her instantly transformed into an iron fist and slammed out, as Xi Luo angrily rebuked.

boom!
With just one punch to the snake's head, the entire Bronze Island trembled.

The bronze spiders inside the bronze tree crawled out in fear.

Xuan Si Gu and Ling Gu Zi stared in astonishment at the direction of the tree with human heads.

Especially Xuan Si Gu, in her memory the last time Xi Luo was so excited was when Fei Lai Peak collapsed.

"It seems my words hit a nerve!"

Despite wincing in pain, Xiang Yao stubbornly retorted.

After all, Xi Luo's extreme anger and the fact that the other party did not kill her were enough to show that she knew she was right.

"After transforming into a natural disaster, the gods should theoretically possess an infinite lifespan."

"But you and I both know that it's just theory."

"The fact that the gods insist on retaining their pre-transformation forms is excellent evidence."

"Just like those great sorcerers whose hearts were broken, when their beliefs began to crumble and their memories began to fade, the countdown from birth to death began for the gods."

Xiangyao's snake head slowly drooped down from the tree, but its voice remained sharp.

"The celestial dog's obsession with Wu Yao's death was a harbinger of its beliefs beginning to crumble."

"At first, my personality just became paranoid and stubborn, and then my memories outside of my obsessions faded rapidly until I couldn't even remember who I was."

"If that tengu goes berserk then, are you confident you can kill him?"

His words were laced with undisguised sarcasm and regret; Xiang Yao had witnessed the demise of countless gods.

This even includes some of his former comrades-in-arms.

So even though he was hung on this tree of human heads by the Heavenly Lord, he had no hatred towards it whatsoever.

Competing with a dying god has never been Xiang Yao's style.

On the contrary, Xiang Yao could tell at a glance that Xi Luo was impulsive and easily angered, and that she was well protected.

"Do you believe that you'd be willing to die with that stupid dog before it dies?"

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Xi Luo was indeed thoroughly enraged, and even her tone became cold.

"and many more……"

Just as Xi Luo was about to make her move, a faint golden halo appeared out of thin air behind her.

Li Boyang promptly stopped Xi Luo's attack, then stepped out of the light circle with a hint of helplessness.

Behind the halo formed by the [Universe Ring].

You can also see Li Jingshu and Chiru looking bewildered, as well as Li Xi looking overjoyed.

"Didn't you realize that he was deliberately provoking you to commit suicide?"

As Li Boyang appeared, the golden halo behind him disappeared.

However, Xiang Yao had already focused all his attention on the [Qiankun Ring] on Li Boyang's wrist.

It is, after all, a fierce god who has lived for thousands of years. The decline of its power does not mean that its knowledge will also decrease.

Therefore, Xiang Yao immediately saw through the true nature of the Qiankun Circle.

"The power to control the universe...you must be that celestial being?"

When Xiang Yao looked at Li Boyang again, he knew that his intentions had been exposed.

"Deliberately trying to provoke me?"

Unable to help but widen her eyes, Xi Luo's gaze shifted between Li Boyang and Xiang Yao, and she almost immediately believed his judgment.

"You want to use me to commit suicide!?"
