Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 654. Who would put up a [Subspace] arena card at the start of a fight?
The emergence of gods who break through to higher realms is one of the greatest crises humanity has faced since the appearance of the Void Realm.

When the fluctuations of the three broken-realm gods were detected in the Infinite City, a shrill alarm sounded immediately.

That was the highest level of alarm. When this alarm sounded, all non-combatants would move to shelters in various locations.

All combat personnel—and I mean all, including even newcomers who are still at the [Seed] level—will be prepared for battle.

Every time a god who has broken through to the next realm appears in a human settlement, it brings enormous casualties and turns the place into a death zone, a region where humans are absolutely not allowed to survive, a place with rules that are different from the norm.

Some scholars even believe that it was the prototype of the Taixu Realm.

The arrival of the three transcendent gods caused the board members and principal of Infinite City to be fully armed and nervously watch their surroundings.

Because three seconds ago, all external communications between Infinite City and the outside world were severed, and the last message from the outside world was that the three transcendent gods had disappeared from the material world.

Meanwhile, the powerful beings within the Infinite City sensed that the rules of their surroundings were changing.

There is a force that is infiltrating, invading, and altering the rules that make up the world.

This place has begun to transform into another world.

Before even appearing in the material world, the power leaked by the transcendent god had already surrounded the location of the Infinite City and was altering its fundamental rules.

The school board members and principal present all looked solemn. Although solving the problem of the [Deep Mental Sanatorium] was something to celebrate, they were not so happy as to see the arrival of the three transcendent gods.

The others immediately realized that the arrival of the breakthrough god was likely caused by Mo Hao's actions earlier.

But instead of criticism, Su Wenxing immediately said, "Mo Hao, use your Heavenly Book World to bring everyone you can, and then we will help you open a breach. We will hold the line here."

The implication of these words was that she was already prepared to risk her life to cover Mo Hao's retreat.

Faced with a god who has broken through to the next realm, the board members of the Infinite City were clearly prepared to die in battle.

The principal went even further, his power directly entering a state of overload, the emanating power fluctuations causing the island to tremble, constantly counteracting the power of the breakthrough god eroding the rules.

Mo Hao possesses the Heavenly Book World, a peaceful world free from the invasion of the Void Realm and wild beasts, a sacred place that almost every human dreams of. He also has the ability to heal patients corrupted by the power of the Void Realm, and he himself is a Void Realm type talent.

All factors combined, and the principal and board members immediately realized that Mo Hao was more important to humanity than this Infinite City.

However, their decision was clearly made without Mo Hao's consent.

Moreover, seeing a group of people saying they would cover his retreat, Mo Hao snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

As the strongest person present, he couldn't stand hearing such words.

and……

"You've got one thing wrong. There aren't three, there are five Gods who have broken through to the next realm."

Mo Hao stretched out his palm and slowly clenched it. As his fist tightened, a powerful and domineering force spread out from his palm.

The space seemed to be bearing a force far exceeding its own limits, emitting a teeth-grinding sound. The pure and domineering power, like a cleaning fluid, completely shattered the surrounding forces that had altered the rules, restoring the otherworldly environment to its original state.

At the same time, the violent force tore apart some kind of cover, forcing out what was hidden behind the veil.

Five exist.

It cannot be described by the concepts of life or death, and even human thought and logic seem unable to accurately describe it.

Gods who have broken through realms are beings that humans simply cannot fully analyze or understand.

Its mere existence can change the rules known to humankind in a region.

Just like water cannot extinguish fire, molecules cannot move, and so on, these are all changes to the most fundamental rules of the world.

The appearance of the transcendent god immediately caused immense distress to the humans within the Infinite City. Even the weaker ones began to experience energy system chaos, on the verge of self-destruction.

The weaker a human is, the less they can comprehend the existence of a god who has broken through to higher realms; simply becoming aware of the other's existence can cost them their lives.

Mo Hao frowned slightly. With a thought, he unleashed his power, enveloping the entire Infinite City and isolating the Breakthrough God from the influence of humanity. At the same time, this power also forcibly distorted the outermost layer of rules of the Breakthrough God.

He forcibly used his power to coat the god of the breakthrough realm with a "shell," a shell that could be perceived and understood by humans.

But clearly, a god who has broken through to the next level doesn't like being forcibly put in a straitjacket; no one likes being forcibly stuffed into a tight-fitting suit for no reason.

Mo Hao's actions showed no intention of communication. The only means they would use when a god who had broken through to the next level appeared was to fight.

Crimson flames, icy ice, crimson dragon fangs, and snow-sealing blades intertwined to form a vast red and blue net that enveloped the entire space. The Crimson Demon Star stretched across the sky, but this time it did not bring the tearing apart of the Nine Provinces Barrier.

The spatial key forged by the gods has sealed off the means of movement for gods who have broken through to higher realms; spatial manipulation is prohibited here.

Immediately afterwards, the Myriad Soul Banner appeared behind Mo Hao. The banner waved, and the Xuanjin aura enveloped the entire area of ​​ten thousand miles, forming a large array.

At the same time, the Myriad Soul Banner activated the souls within it, and a continuous stream of demonic souls were decomposed and fused together. Furthermore, four blasphemous figures appeared in the four directions of the great formation: east, west, south, and north.

Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh.

As soon as the figures of the four evil gods of the subspace appeared, the forms of several breakthrough gods immediately became like a television screen losing frames. They were formed from countless evil thoughts piled up in the subspace, and could be considered the largest of the maggots in the sea of ​​excrement. The mere appearance of their phantom images was enough to cause physical discomfort to the breakthrough gods.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls was waved once more, and this time even more demons shattered and died, the endless dissipation of souls materializing the subspace in this region.

Chaos, distortion, blasphemy—if it weren't for Mo Hao's unique control of his power, preventing this distortion and blasphemy from affecting humanity, then the Infinite City below would likely have a cult of evil gods by now.

Even so, many people in the Infinite City felt as if they had been struck hard in body and mind, and they all turned pale and fell unconscious.

Those people were all highly inspired. To them, Mo Hao's operation of releasing the phantom of the evil god in the subspace with the Myriad Soul Banner and then pulling this area into the subspace was like watching a world-destroying tsunami that was ten thousand feet high crash down.

What's even more despairing is that this tsunami wasn't seawater, but an extreme mixture of feces and maggots.
