Gate of God

“Xing Tian’s head?!”

“How is that possible? How did Xing Tian’s head come out of the lava?”

“…”

Mu Qingfeng and the rest were equally stunned.

Xing Tian’s head, which was buried beneath Changyang Mountain…

Had come out?!

How could they remain calm?

At this moment, Xing Tian suddenly turned its ‘head’ towards the massive black spot in the lava excitedly.

“My head… My head!” Xing Tian roared and rushed into the lava.

“…”

“Hahaha, Fang Zhengzhi, you’re definitely going to die at the hands of Xing Tian!” Hong You suddenly started laughing for some reason when he saw that.

He wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi.

However, since he couldn’t do it himself, he could only place his hope on someone else. He didn’t care at all if it was Xing Tian because he just wanted Fang Zhengzhi dead.

“The head that had been buried for tens of millions of years… Actually exists?” Fang Zhengzhi was also somewhat surprised.

Even though he knew that this was a mythical world, this scene still left his heart trembling.

‘The appearance of Xing Tian’s head…’

‘Is that the secret hiding beneath Changyang Mountain?’

While Fang Zhengzhi was engrossed in his thoughts, Xing Tian’s head, which was in the lava, started moving and flew towards Xing Tian’s body at an extreme speed.

Buzz! A terrifying and ominous aura rose up and surrounded that gigantic head.

Xing Tian’s body kept trembling as all sorts of weird sounds started coming out of its ‘mouth’. It sounded like birds chirping, but also like beasts roaring, giving everyone goosebumps.

Then, something bizarre happened.

As Xing Tian continued to making strange noises, the gigantic head looked like it was about to reconnect with Xing Tian’s body, as if they were magnets that were attracting each other.

“Isn’t that so freaking amazing?” Ping Yang exclaimed with her eyes wide open.

“No, we should stop him!” Yan Xiu’s expression turned cold. For some reason, he kept getting a feeling that if Xing Tian’s head and body really reconnected, something bad would happen.

“I’m afraid it’s too late to stop it.” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five shook his head.

He was also getting a bad feeling. However, Xing Tian was too powerful, moreover, since his head was already moving towards its body voluntarily, it was too late to stop it.

Boom! A bolt of lightning descended.

Xing Tian’s body and head had finally merged.

At this moment, it seemed like even heaven and earth had changed color. A horrifying murderous aura shrouded Xing Tian’s body and kept him suspended in the air motionlessly.

“Did they really merge?!”

“Xing Tian…”

“What… Is going to happen?”

The Godly Beasts and Demons stared at Xing Tian with their eyes agape.

Meanwhile, Xing Tian wasn’t moving at all. It felt like he had become a gigantic rock. There wasn’t a single movement on his entire body.

“What’s going on?”

“He’s not moving?”

“Should we take this chance to…”

The Godly Beasts and Demons stared at each other. Some of them wanted to attack Xing Tian, but they were hesitating because of how powerful he was.

At this moment, Xing Tian finally moved.

He raised his head and roared angrily.

“Ah…” His voice was incredibly loud and clear unlike how dull it was just now. Then, the eyes and mouth on his body disappeared completely.

Then, the eyes on his head suddenly opened.

“Did he wake up?!”

“Has Xing Tian reawakened?!”

“…”

This time, the Godly Beasts and Demons started escaping without hesitation.

However, Xing Tian didn’t seem to care about them at all. After roaring loudly, he instantly looked towards the lava that was surging out from the ground.

Swoosh!

He actually charged towards the ground.

Unlike how he wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi just now, he didn’t even throw Fang Zhengzhi a single glance before he dived headfirst into the lava.

“What’s going on?” Mu Qingfeng mumbled to himself with a confused look on his face.

Ping Yang also blinked her eyes. After Xing Tian’s head and body had reconnected, his murderous aura seemed stronger, but it felt like he was way more ‘sober’.

It felt weird.

Normal words couldn’t even describe it. It felt like he had ‘remembered something’, or rather, he had ‘regained his memories’. All in all, it just felt extremely weird.

Boom!

Xing Tian rushed into the ground, splattering lava into the air. The lava burst into balls of flames and burned the ground when it dropped down.

“Wait, there’s something underneath the ground!” Yun Qingwu’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and she looked terrified, which was rare.

“Something? What is it?” Wu Yuer was a little puzzled, but she was surprised that Yun Qingwu lost her cool.

‘Is she saying that there’s something else underneath Changyang Mountain apart from Xing Tian’s head?’

“A seal. Xing Tian’s head is the core of the seal formation. Five streams of lava… This aura… It’s the Demon Seal Five Element Formation!” After Yun Qingwu said that, she quickly turned towards Fang Zhengzhi, who was stuck in a fight with Hong You and the other warlocks, and uttered, “Fang Zhengzhi, Hurry… Hurry up and chop off Xing Tian’s head again!”

“What? Chop it off again?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little startled.

‘Does she really think that it’s as easy as cutting vegetables?’

‘That’s Xing Tian. Furthermore, he has freaking dived into the lava already.’

He didn’t doubt Yun Qingwu’s judgment, however, how could it be so easy to separate Xing Tian’s head and body once again?

Of course, even though he was speechless, he still had to do what he needed to do.

After a brief pause, he suddenly pulled Xuanyuan Sword out of Hong You’s chest, which was followed by a huge amount of blood falling from the sky.

Then, he also charged towards the ground.

“Fang Zhengzhi… Cough, Don’t… Don’t go!” Hong You yelled loudly. He was already prepared to die, but Fang Zhengzhi left him hanging.

This was contempt!

Downright contempt!

Swoosh! As soon as Hong You said that, a sword light rushed out of his body and turned into a huge dragon and soared into the sky.

“Relax, I’ve fulfilled your request. You’re already dead.” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice drifted to Hong You’s ears through the wind.

“…” Hong You jolted. His lips curled into a relieved smile as he watched the huge dragon devouring his body.

‘Am I dead?’

‘Am I really dead?’

‘I knew it. Death is the ultimate liberation. There’s no more arguing or fighting. I have nothing to do with all the disputes in the world anymore.’

Boom!

Hong You’s body exploded with a loud bang.

The other warlocks’ eyes turned red when they saw that.

“Big brother!”

“…”

All of them were drowning in sadness and pain.

However, soon enough, they were also liberated because several streams of sword light had already come for them. They were too fast for them to avoid.

Boom!

Boom!

“…”

At this moment, all of the twelve ancient warlocks became history.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi had already reached the ground. His feet were less than a couple meters away from the lava, and his clothes were on the verge of becoming ignited.

“Can I really go down here?” Fang Zhengzhi did end the lives of three severely wounded warlocks in the lava, but it didn’t mean that he enjoyed the stay.

After all, he wasn’t the Vermilion Bird…

Hold on!

‘Vermilion Bird?!’

“Is Bi Fang a fire-type just like Vermilion Bird?’

“Ping Yang, lend me your mount.” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Bi Fang and smiled as if he was saying ‘What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine’.

“Remember to return her after you’re done!” Ping Yang wasn’t being willful this time. She just caressed Bi Fang’s head and agreed.

“Yo!”

Bi Fang cried out loud.

From her expression, it was clear that she was reluctant. However, after remembering Fang Zhengzhi’s methods of getting things done, how could she refuse?

Bi Fang flapped her wings and ultimately flew towards Fang Zhengzhi.

However, as soon as she started the move, the lava suddenly gushed out. Then, a massive body rushed out of the lava.

It was Xing Tian.

He was covered in flames as if he was the God of Fire. However, for some reason, his right arm was bleeding.

There was a very deep cut on his right arm.

It looked like he was cut by an ax.

“Xing Tian is injured?!”

“What’s going on?”

“…”

The Godly Beasts and Demons who started escaping were all shocked to their cores.

Fang Zhengzhi was also astonished. He remembered that there wasn’t a cut on Xing Tian’s arm before he dived into the lava. Yet, he came out of the lava with an injury?

Who could possibly hurt Xing Tian?!

At this moment, they heard a roar that sounded like both man and beast coming from beneath the ground. It sounded like something was venting tens of millions of years of frustration.

“There’s something!”

“There’s really something beneath the lava!”

“What is it?!”

The Godly Beasts and Demons that had already flown far away were stunned when they heard that roar.

Meanwhile, Xing Tian gritted his teeth as if he was struggling, and he actually charged towards Fang Zhengzhi again, saying, “Human, help me now!”

“Help?” Fang Zhengzhi was actually surprised.

‘Xing Tian has actually asked for my help?’

‘What does he need help with?’

“Hurry, hurry up and chop my head down and bury it into Changyang Mountain again!” Xing Tian yelled and actually stuck his head in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.

“Hurry up!!!” Xing Tian yelled once again.

“It’s too late, Xing Tian!” They heard a thunderous voice. Although it came from beneath the ground, it was so powerful that the entire area seemed like it was vibrating.

Then, a massive arm appeared from the lava.

Then, a second arm appeared.

Followed by a third one…

And the fourth…

…

A total of six arms appeared from the lava.

This was an extremely shocking and terrifying scene.

Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t the only one who was taken aback, Mu Qingfeng and the rest were dumbfounded too.

Even Xing Tian’s eyes became wide open once again when he saw the six arms that appeared from the lava, and he started trembling.

Then, he actually charged towards the lava again.

“Die!” Xing Tian roared. He knocked his ax against his shield and summoned lightning bolts towards the lava, causing a series of loud explosions.

However, this plot twist unfolded too quickly.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t really understand what was happening.

After Xing Tian’s head merged with his body, he seemed to have become a completely different person. Instead of going after him, he actually started fighting the ‘monster’ in the lava.

Most importantly…

Xing Tian actually stuck his head out so that he could chop his head off.

Boom! The ground cracked open as the six arms battled Xing Tian. Lava kept surging out and exuding a fiery aura.

Then, two horns appeared from the ground.

They looked like cow’s horns.

“There’s actually a monster like this buried underneath Changyang Mountain? What is it?” Ping Yang was also frightened, especially because this monster obviously wasn’t shaped like a normal human.

It actually had six arms, as well as horns like those of a cow.

Could it be a Godly Beast?

Ping Yang was extremely puzzled.

However, Fang Zhengzhi’s face actually turned a little pale. It wasn’t because it was too hot or too cold, rather, he felt a strange sensation in his body when he saw the pair of sharp horns.

It felt like something wanted to get out of his body.

“What’s going on?” Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously reached for his back. Then, the Black-Golden Wings on his back suddenly spread itself.

It was completely out of his thoughts’ control.

Swoosh!

As soon as the Black-Golden Wings expanded, it left Fang Zhengzhi’s body and rushed towards the pair of horns below.

Buzz! They felt an aura.

“How lucky. I didn’t expect to see you here.” They heard that voice from the lava again, then, the Black-Golden Wings disappeared without a trace.

After that, a violent force burst out of the lava.

Boom!

Xing Tian was also blown away by the force. It seemed like he was no match for it.

Meanwhile, a massive figure appeared in the sky, shrouded by thick black smog. Its six arms were barely visible through the smog, and a pair of gigantic wings were flapping on its back.

It was the Black-Golden Wings.

However, they were currently much bigger than they were on Fang Zhengzhi’s back. It seemed like they could block the sun and the moon.

‘Cow horns and wings!’

‘Six arms too…’

Fang Zhengzhi suddenly jolted because a name suddenly appeared in his mind. It was the most terrifying name during ancient times.

At this moment, he finally realized…

He finally understood everything.

He understood why Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan had to strip Changyang Mountain of its name, trick Xing Tian into a battle at the mountain, and try so hard to burn Xing Tian’s head beneath it instead of killing him.

It was to scare people off with Xing Tian’s reputation!

Changyang Mountain’s secret wasn’t Xing Tian or his head.

Instead, it was the deadliest Killer God during ancient times.

According to the legends, this man’s head was made of steel, and no weapons could penetrate his body. He was a terrifying existence who was known to be unkillable, and once ruled the Jiu Li Settlement.

The strongest ancient Demon God who possessed the power of both the Cow and Bird Totem!

Chi You!

“How many years has it been since I was imprisoned here? Today, I shall finally be free. Xing Tian, your grudge is really strong. Your murderous aura hasn’t dissipated even after tens of millions of years. Good, very good…” A pair of red eyes appeared in the black smog, and a complicated pattern took shape in the eyes.

It was the thing that both Nangong Mu and Nangong Hao had once used…
