Chapter 215 Rebirth from the Ashes: Pangu's True Form!
【Burning Heaven Fire Domain】

A raging inferno engulfed the world, covering everything in its path with a brilliant golden flame. The terrifying heat distorted the air, and the intense firelight completely obliterated the darkness, annihilating the domain of the Great Dark Heaven and rendering it unable to be released again.

Sweat slid down the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's cheeks, evaporating into steam before it even hit the ground, and the moisture in his body was rapidly broken down by the domain.

The crimson spear flickered, and it seemed as if it might be melted by the flames.

Is this the realm of the Vulcan?
That's ridiculously strong.
Bloodthirsty Tyrant raised his head, and a phantom image of Hephaestus floating in mid-air appeared in his line of sight. Even with his high dynamic vision enhancement, he was unable to pinpoint the opponent's exact location.

This is the result of his vision being distorted by the high-temperature field. Now, all he can rely on is his instinct, which has accompanied him in this battle.

What is the difference between the strong and the weak?
There is only one answer.
It's instinctive!!

Bloodthirsty Tyrant gripped his blood spear, following the guidance of his instincts, and in an instant transformed into a streak of crimson light, shooting towards Hephaestus in the sky. The buff from [Raging Pursuit] simultaneously erupted, boosting his speed to the extreme, and his terrifying power was like thunder.

"boom!!!"

The flaming greatsword traced a trajectory that tore through the sky; the greatsword, containing scorching flames, unleashed a destructive power in an instant.

The blood spear clashed with the giant sword, and the terrifyingly high temperature field gave the Bloodthirsty Tyrant no chance. As long as the God of Fire's [Burning Heaven Domain] was still there, he would not be able to seize the domain through [Great Dark Heaven], because the strength of his domain was not as good as the God of Fire's.

The roar was deafening as the Bloodthirsty Tyrant and Hephaestus clashed repeatedly in battle. The Vulcan, having unleashed his domain, was truly enraged, his strength and speed both greatly increased, and his terrifying sword directly suppressed the Bloodthirsty Tyrant.

"Is this all you have?"

"You dare to challenge me with this?"

Hephaestus provoked the Bloodthirsty Tyrant during the battle, attempting to induce a weakness in him.

Admittedly, it is very strong, and its raw power far surpasses that of the Bloodthirsty Tyrant. However, the problem is that the Bloodthirsty Tyrant possesses an incredible fire resistance of 2,800, as well as massive defense, fixed damage reduction, percentage damage reduction, and an ultra-fast recovery effect. It also has terrifying resistance to abnormal statuses and is immune to status effects.

That's disgusting!
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant has a lot of health, which can be dealt with by brute force, but the problem is that its resistance is also ridiculously high; its resistance is ridiculously high, which can be countered with physical attacks, but the problem is that its defense is also ridiculously high.

His defense is ridiculously high, which is one thing, Hephaestus is a veteran of countless battles and has a knack for dealing with mixed damage, but the problem is that this guy's damage reduction is also ridiculously high! His high damage reduction is one thing, you can wear him down with time, but the problem is that this guy's health regeneration speed is also ridiculously fast!
His health regeneration is ridiculously fast, and you can just heal him by applying a critical injury or healing restriction, but the problem is that his resistance is ridiculously high! He's immune to these restrictions!
How the hell am I supposed to kill them?

too disgusting!

粪！
"boom!!"

The only response to Hephaestus was the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's silent attack. He endured the high temperature and continued to fight. The scene before him gradually changed, and he could no longer distinguish between virtual and reality. He did not know why this was happening, but he was certain that he had not been defeated. His resistance was not that low.

Even so, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant did not give up the fight. He fought desperately, using his last bit of strength to resist.

The veil of riddles quietly absorbed the light, the Fiery Dragon's Reverse Scale Armor devoured divine fire, and the Eye of Omargon helplessly exhaled, glaring at Hephaestus, but none of the instant death judgments took effect.

And the Blood Spear.
It seemed to be melting. The blood spear, made of blood crystals, was melting at this moment, and the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor was also showing signs of crumbling after the dragon soul absorbed a huge amount of flames.

"Chance!"

Hephaestus's eyes lit up; he saw a golden opportunity to quickly end the battle.

In the battle just now, both the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor and the Blood Spear demonstrated extremely strong effects. The sharpness and attack power of the Blood Spear were simply outrageous. Moreover, this spear could provide the host with a continuous source of life force, and even if the heart was shattered, it could be quickly rebuilt in a short time.

The dragon soul within the Fiery Dragon Reverse Scale Armor had devoured countless amounts of Heaven-Burning Divine Fire. Without its absorption, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant might have suffered even more massive damage.

Destroy his equipment!

Burn his blood spear and armor!

Hephaestus grinned. With the strength of a level 7 deity, he was fully capable of destroying Radiant Gold-grade equipment, which was not difficult for him.

"boom!!"

The battle intensified, and Bloodthirsty Tyrant realized Hephaestus's intention to attack, but he was powerless to stop him, because if he did not use his weapon to resist the attack, he would probably be easily killed by Vulcan in a short time.

ah.
Are we about to lose?
Unexpectedly, the Blood Spear could be melted.
He truly lives up to his title of God of Fire.
Is this the end for me?
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant, who had been engaged in an intense and prolonged battle in the Burning Heaven Domain, was now gradually losing consciousness. Everything before his eyes was becoming increasingly blurry, and he could only rely on instinct to fight back, as reason and judgment were gradually losing their effectiveness.

So, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his blood-red pupils had turned into a completely bloody background, with no other color left.

"Has he lost consciousness?"

Hephaestus's smile gradually brightened. Although the Bloodthirsty Tyrant had extremely high resistance, under normal circumstances, various judgments were almost ineffective against it.

However, he still has some special methods that can bypass high-difficulty judgments and take effect directly. This is a common method among gods. It is not that high resistance can ignore all abnormalities or control effects. There are many deeper combat skills to be explored.

This is the art of the gods!
In addition, Hephaestus could clearly feel the pressure during the battle. His combat skills were extremely high, but he was unable to suppress the Bloodthirsty Tyrant because the opponent seemed to be able to predict his attack trajectory rationally and then respond accordingly.

This was troublesome for him, so figuring out how to make the other person lose their temper became very important.

"Next."

"Let me see you on your way."

"A rebellious person."

Hephaestus raised his greatsword, his body becoming a blur in an instant, appearing before the Bloodthirsty Tyrant. In that instant, the greatsword pierced the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's instinctively raised blood spear.

"boom!!"

The explosive golden flames burst open, melting even more of the blood spear ignited by the giant sword. The crimson liquid flowed into the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's arm, climbing upwards and merging inwards, causing its surface area to shrink at an extremely rapid pace.

Hephaestus did not notice the process of the Blood Spear liquid merging into the body because the merging was extremely secretive, and the Riddle Veil also provided cover for it. As a hegemon-level equipment, the Riddle Veil already possessed such power, and the illusion just now was its masterpiece.

The Riddle Veil is the outer garment of the Lord of Light and Shadow. It is often bathed in the light of divine power and can indirectly receive a small boost from the power of faith, so its actual strength increases very quickly. It's just that Ye Mingqiu doesn't usually need to use it.

Unbeknownst to many, the once weak and fragile Riddle Veil has grown to the peak of a hegemon, possessing the ability to bewitch the gods without them even realizing it.

This is the growth it gained after being bathed in the power of [Sequence], and its achievement as the coat of the Lord of Light and Shadow!
"Roar!!"

The Fiery Dragon Soul roared as it devoured the raging flames, and the surface of its armor began to crumble, revealing cracks. Having absorbed a massive amount of divine fire, its material could no longer withstand the power of the Dragon Soul.

"This strike will end your life."

"Heaven-Burning Divine Slash".

Hephaestus raised his flaming greatsword, and in an instant, the holy fire enveloped the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, the terrifying heat completely engulfing him.

Platinum-gold flames surged within the Burning Heaven Domain, golden waves crashing against the water's surface. Power capable of destroying the world surged and churned within the Soul Realm Contract world, and the world itself began to gradually become turbulent.

Within the raging waves of scorching flames, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant was swallowed by the deep sea, the extremely high-pressure fire engulfing him and frantically invading every corner of his body.

The dragon soul of the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor could not devour the raging fire, and the cracks on the surface of the armor increased. The blood spear was burned to liquefaction during the battle and gradually turned into liquid that flowed into the Blood Corrosion Tyrant's body.

That liquid is the Blood Spear itself. The Blood Spear is a spear made by fusing bloodstone into a bronze spear, which then awakens its intelligence through constant battles and fights, and thus advances in rank.

Its core essence is the Bloodstone, which is the crystallized product of Pangu's bloodline in the world of the Investiture of the Gods. Moreover, the Blood Spear has recently absorbed a large amount of Bloodstone to amplify itself, making its strength far beyond what it used to be.

The God of Fire melted the Blood Spear, but this did not actually destroy it. It only restored it to its most primitive form, which was the living essence of Pangu's bloodline.

And Pangu.
It's not just about gods.
A sufficient amount of bloodstone could even resurrect a level 10 peak deity.
However, it is clear that Hephaestus did not know the true nature of the Blood Spear. Without knowing its true nature, being misled by the veil of riddles would obviously lead to a certain degree of misjudgment. This was not entirely due to Hephaestus's own mistake.

In the core of the deep sea, the Blood Spear is merging into the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body, the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor is crumbling, and the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's life force is gradually decreasing until it finally reaches zero.

"ended."

"What a difficult guy."

"Whoo~"

Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief, but the imagined end did not come.

He sensed a phoenix feather being ignited deep within the sea of ​​fire. The phoenix's flames burned in the deep sea, destroying His blazing inferno. At the core of the phoenix's fire, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's life force rapidly recovered to its full state in a short time.

"And Nirvana?"

Hephaestus's expression gradually turned painful. Although the Bloodthirsty Tyrant was not difficult for Him to defeat, the problem was that fighting it was troublesome and uncomfortable for Him, and He really didn't want to fight it.

He sighed helplessly, and finally raised the flaming greatsword again, staring at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant at the core of the Phoenix Flame, and murmured, "Fine, then I'll kill you one more time."

Then, the Nirvana Egg, surrounded by the flames of the phoenix, rose into the air from the sea of ​​fire and came to a position aligned with Hephaestus. The flames of the phoenix began to gradually subside, but the dragon soul inside was still frantically devouring the flames of the phoenix.

"What a gluttonous fellow, it even ate the flames that revived its master."

Hephaestus chuckled softly.

The next moment, a crisp cracking sound rang out. The surface of the Fiery Dragon Reverse Scale Armor shattered, and the armor containing the dragon soul finally succumbed to the pressure and exploded completely. The dragon soul, which had devoured a massive amount of divine fire and the Phoenix Flame, ultimately lost its home.

"ended."

"Ok?"

The embers of the phoenix gradually began to burn on the shattered Fiery Dragon Reverse Scale Armor. The raging fire ignited the dragon soul's spirituality and activated its undying will. The power of countless divine fires surged and churned within the dragon soul's body. It roared, howled, and released its power wantonly.

A brand new raging fire ignited, completely setting the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body ablaze. The flames formed a new armor in mid-air, its molten gold patterns gleaming. The dragon soul, infused with various fire properties, seemed to have been reborn.

"."

Hephaestus watched the armor reassemble, his smile vanishing for a moment, but then he laughed again, muttering to himself, "It doesn't matter, it's just a suit of armor. I admit that the dragon soul is good, but your weapons and other equipment have been burned to ashes by my divine fire. Without your equipment, how can you fight me?"

The next moment, terrifying blood light shot into the sky, and a continuous stream of power surged from the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body, causing his already enormous body to begin to swell even more.

Forty meters.
Seventy meters.
one hundred meters
Three hundred meters.
one thousand meters
Before Hephaestus's bewildered and shocked eyes, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's size grew to several thousand meters tall in a short time. Its enormous and terrifying body blotted out the sky. It stepped on a sea of ​​fire, its scarlet eyes looking at Hephaestus, and a terrifying pressure descended in an instant.

The intensity of that oppressive aura had now reached the level of a god, and the power that the Bloodthirsty Tyrant possessed at this moment far surpassed his former self.

"This this."

Hephaestus suddenly laughed, whether out of speechlessness or anger. Looking at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, which was thousands of meters tall, He could clearly feel that the opponent's fire resistance had surged to a terrifying level, its physical defense was outrageous, and its health had surpassed the range of humans.

He—no, it should be "he" now—is no longer worthy of being called "He" before this bloodthirsty tyrant.

He covered his face with one hand and laughed, muttering to himself, "Just kidding. To support such a level of physical change, one must have a solid foundation. Without a strong enough foundation, it is absolutely impossible to possess such powerful strength."

"Heh, you can't possibly be a normal psychic. Even if a normal psychic were to reach this level, their body would disintegrate and crumble. Yet your body shows no such signs, and there's even a strange sense of compatibility."

"You're ruthless, you're really ruthless, I..."

Before Hephaestus could finish speaking, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, which was larger than a mountain, moved. He unleashed a speed disproportionate to his size, and his terrifying power was like a mountain pressing down. A terrifying fist wind exploded, followed by a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

Completely irrational and acting solely on instinct, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant launched an extremely brutal attack. He roared as he tore Hephaestus's body apart, gulping down the opponent's fiery domain. His divine body was completely immune to all attacks.

Hephaestus, whose body had shattered and reformed countless times, tried to resist, but to no avail. At this moment, he was unaware that it was his divine fire that had given the Bloodthirsty Tyrant such power, allowing Ye Mingqiu to enter a completely new and special form.

[Pangu's True Form] Appearance!!

At the cost of the Blood Spear melting and disappearing, he obtained the bloodline power of Pangu. With Ye Mingqiu's extremely high soul strength, body instincts, and the active assistance of the Blood Spear, he was able to create the true form of Pangu.

Although this form is powerful, the Blood Spear disappears after use and can only wander in Ye Mingqiu's blood and instincts as a weapon spirit.

The divine blood collected by the Blood Spear, including the divine blood of various powerful deities, will also be integrated into Ye Mingqiu's body, making Pangu's true form even stronger, to an incomprehensible degree.

"boom!!!"

Hephaestus was crushed underfoot, his body constantly regenerating and exploding. A force that could break all laws restricted his regeneration ability, preventing him from exerting his once terrifying power.

In the end, he was wiped out of his last bit of health in despair, and disappeared in a stream of light.

Hephaestus was defeated.
