Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 610-620: Destroying Gods

"Damn crawler, give up struggling, and maybe I can make your death less painful."

The avatar of arrogance slowly raised its golden battle boots and stomped them hard in the void.

In an instant, divine power patterns rippled in the air like waves, each pattern seemingly mocking the insignificance of Lin Beixuan's power of law.

"Your cycle of life and death is nothing but a child's scribbles in my eyes. Even the supreme laws of your world are not something I would take seriously."

"Today, I'll show you what arrogance is."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around Lin Beixuan suddenly froze. The divine power of the laws of calamity and reincarnation that had been flowing around him stopped completely, like a frozen river.

At the same time, the flow of divine power within his body became sluggish, as if countless invisible shackles were wrapped around his limbs, making even raising his hand extremely difficult.

You have entered a special realm: the Space of Pride.

[Within the Arrogance Space, one will enter a state of 'being despised,' with divine power decreasing by 70% and the operation of laws decreasing by 50%. All laws seen will be forcibly defined as 'meaningless' by the embodiment of arrogance.]

[Meaninglessness: Humans don't care how the ants beneath their feet wave their antennae, and arrogance fundamentally denies the existence of other laws. In a state of meaninglessness, the influence of laws on arrogance is halved.]

"Roar--"

After the embodiment of arrogance, the embodiment of rage roared once more.

Dark red light patterns swirled around its fists, and wherever its fists passed, even the stagnant space began to crumble.

Jealousy hovered to the side, its bluish-gray vines condensing the imitation of the Law of Arrogance, clearly intending to cooperate with the rage to completely crush Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan was trapped by the spatial shackles, with no way to escape.

He stared at the incoming fist shadow with a fierce look in his eyes, then made a decision to cleave through the void and unleash several sword shadows, covering the incarnations of rage and jealousy.

Just as Lin Beixuan had a chance to catch his breath after the attack was temporarily relieved, the Arrogance Avatar appeared in front of him.

Not far away, the voice of the Demon God of Chaos came: "Hehehe... It's useless. You don't think that weapon can help you escape from my avatar, do you?"

Lin Beixuan remained silent, the black flames of calamity burning continuously on his body.

Arrogance manifested in his towering figure as he slowly lowered his head, his armor gleaming with golden light, resembling an invincible emperor.

He looked at Lin Beixuan, a cold smile appearing on his lips: "How can a reptile resist a god?"

Arrogance spread its thick five fingers and slowly reached for Lin Beixuan's head, its power constantly eroding Lin Beixuan's divine power.

Suddenly, Lin Beixuan raised his eyes and smiled, his gaze fixed on the Chaotic Heart Demon God.

Immediately afterwards, a jet-black greatsword, seemingly imbued with immense divine power and accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that seemed to tear apart the laws of nature, suddenly appeared above the head of the Chaotic Heart Demon God.

The God-Slaying Sword was covered in dark, calamity-inducing lightning, and golden soul fire swirled around its hilt.

A phantom figure stepped out of the space, holding a sword hilt, uttering lotus flowers, and slashing out with the sword.

"Soul-stirring."

In an instant, the sword struck the Chaotic Heart Demon God, its laughter abruptly ceasing. It watched helplessly as its Demon God Realm shattered like paper. Terrifying killing power surged in along the sword wound, and golden soul fire clung to its demon god body like a leech.

As the true form of the Seven Sins, the Demon God of Chaos's divine realm was shattered, and the spaces of the other incarnations of Pride, Wrath, and Envy were also affected.

Lin Beixuan seized the opportunity, broke free from the control of arrogance, and retreated rapidly.

After being attacked, the body of the Chaotic Heart Demon God splits apart again, and another incarnation is about to separate.

It roared, "Do you think that just because my divine realm is shattered, I can no longer create incarnations?"

However, Lin Beixuan still did not answer, and the God-Slaying Sword continued to strike a second time.

"Severing God".

The sword light rolled, completely ignoring the split body, and with a single slash, the power of the Chaotic Heart Demon God declined and weakened at an extremely fast speed.

The Demon God of Chaos let out a shrill scream, a scream devoid of its previous arrogance and mockery, filled only with pure pain and disbelief.

However, this still could not stop the body of the Chaotic Heart Demon God from splitting apart; in fact, the splitting speed was even faster.

At this moment, Pride and Wrath also sensed something was wrong, because the power of the Chaotic Heart Demon God had declined, and they would also be affected.

As the main body was injured, the damage from the God-Slaying Sword also spread to the three avatars.

Their movements froze simultaneously, the light of their laws dimmed, and sword marks identical to their original forms appeared on their bodies.
They could clearly sense that their divine power was declining at an extremely rapid pace, to the point that they could no longer even maintain the space of laws.

"I want you to die!"

It strode arrogantly forward and stood before Lin Beixuan, its demonic power in its hand like a blazing sun.

At the same time, the furious creature arrived behind Lin Beixuan and slammed down on Lin Beixuan's back.

"Zheng..."

At this moment, Choice flew out again, splitting into countless sword lights that surrounded and protected Lin Beixuan. No matter how furiously he was beaten or how arrogantly his divine power burned him, Choice did not retreat a single step.

Under the attack of the two avatars, the sword of choice was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

But it persisted, waiting for the third strike of the God-Slaying Sword to be unleashed.

"Destroy Gods".

The sword spirit wielding the God-Slaying Sword unleashed another strike.

As the sword fell, the entire world seemed to be enveloped in its light, and an ancient sigh was heard.

The celestial court will punish this crime, and the offender shall be executed.

Lin Beixuan didn't know whether the Demon God of Disorder was guilty, but in this unbalanced world, the Demon God was the source of the imbalance.

When the world-destroying intent to end all things surpassed the Seven Sins, true despair appeared in the eyes of the Demon God of Chaos for the first time.

It tried to dodge, to split off another avatar to defend itself, but found that its body was already pinned to the void, unable to move even a little.

The divine realm has been destroyed, and the divine status has been severed. Now, it is truly the destruction of gods.

The sword beam transcended time and space, ignoring all its defenses and power, and slashed straight at its brow.

"Pfft!"

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a soft sound, as gentle as cutting through tofu, as it pierced through the brow of the Chaotic Heart Demon God and entered into it.

The next moment, the rapidly splitting body of the Chaotic Heart Demon God suddenly stopped. The new avatars that were about to take shape seemed to have all their power drained away, quickly withered and died, and finally turned into ashes and disappeared.

The essence of pride, wrath, and envy becomes transparent at a visible speed.

Their demonic origins had been ended and obliterated by that sword light. Both the Seven Sins Laws and their connection with the Abyss Realm's origin were severed inch by inch by this sword.

"I... I'm really going to die..." The voice of the Chaotic Heart Demon God was as weak as a mosquito's buzz, its eyes filled with resentment and incomprehension. Even in its death, it couldn't understand why it would die in such a way.

As the true form of the Chaotic Mind Demon God dissipated, the bodies of its three incarnations—Pride, Wrath, and Jealousy—also trembled violently.

The sword marks on their bodies suddenly expanded, the light of the laws extinguished, and like the new incarnations, they turned into countless specks of light, dissipating into the world.

Lin Beixuan watched as the Chaotic Heart Demon God was completely annihilated and let out a long sigh of relief.

The three strikes of the God-Slaying Sword completely depleted his already meager divine power, and the cost of those three strikes was so great that even he could hardly bear it now.

He could feel that at least half of his life force had been drained away; clearly, the price of killing the Demon God of Chaos was far beyond his imagination.

"If I had known, I should have used the God-Slaying Sword directly, otherwise I wouldn't have had to consume so much divine power."

Lin Beixuan looked up at the sky of the Abyss Realm and, for some reason, felt that the sky of this world was slightly clearer.

"Could it be because I slew the Demon God of Chaos that the world's imbalance has been somewhat alleviated?"

Lin Beixuan took a light breath and found that the viscous, corrosive energy in the air of the Abyss Realm seemed to have thinned a little, and even the wind blowing by had less of its biting malice.

"It seems the Lord of the Underworld was right; these demons are indeed the manifestation of the imbalance at the source of the Abyss Realm."

The almost shattered Choice and the God-Slaying Sword were retrieved into Lin Beixuan's body. He slowly turned around, and the altar had completely turned into rubble and fallen.

The last remaining thing in the mortal world and the underworld has also completely disappeared.

Lin Beixuan looked in the direction of the door.

"If killing a supreme demon god among the top four pillars can restore a small part of the unbalanced origin of the world behind the gate, then if I were to directly restore the unbalanced origin of this world, could I weaken the power of the seventy-two pillar demon gods?"

This thought lingered in Lin Beixuan's mind as he looked at the rewards given to him on the panel after he killed the Chaotic Heart Demon God.

[You have successfully slain the Upper Four Pillars of the Seventy-Two Pillars of Demon Gods in the Abyss Realm - the Chaotic Heart Demon God, and have received the reward: The Gaze of the Mortal Heavenly Dao.]

Lin Beixuan's eyes suddenly widened as he noticed a detail.

This time, the reward he received was no longer the same as when he killed Wu Chi, where a wisp of hair was added before the lowered gaze; instead, it was a complete lowered gaze.

What can a complete lowered gaze be used for?

As Lin Beixuan was pondering this, a sharp cry pierced the sky.

Lin Beixuan looked up and saw several huge black shadows rapidly approaching in the distant sky.

“They are creatures from the world beyond the gate, belonging to the same system as Jionghai, but their strength is comparable to Wuchi.” Lin Beixuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn't move, but just stared coldly at the flying wreckage falling towards him from above.

At this moment, his divine power was exhausted and he was seriously injured, making it very difficult for him to move. The flying wrecks in front of him had become a real problem.

The Book of Life and Death and the Soul-Hooking Brush within Lin Beixuan's body seemed to sense his predicament, trembling slightly and emitting a faint golden light.

The once ferocious flying skeletons showed a hint of fear in their eyes after coming into contact with the golden light, and their flight speed slowed down.

It hovered in mid-air, warily observing Lin Beixuan, clearly hesitating whether to approach.

"roll."

Lin Beixuan uttered a single word, his voice hoarse, yet carrying a terrifying killing intent.

The black vertical line between his eyebrows was now absorbing the unbalanced power around him, and then transforming it into divine power to nourish his body.

Overwhelmed by the killing intent, the flying hull let out a reluctant cry, finally flapping its wings and flying away into the distance.

Watching the departing flying wreckage, Lin Beixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he knew this was only temporary. The death of the Chaotic Heart Demon God would inevitably attract the attention of other demon gods, and it wouldn't be long before they realized that a thief had broken into their door.

"My first priority now, besides restoring my strength, is to figure out what exactly the Heavenly Dao's gaze is for. Could it really allow me to communicate with the Heavenly Dao?"

"If this is the way of heaven in the mundane world, then what I need to do now is to return to the mundane world first."

"I wonder how the battle is going at Two Realms Valley right now."

Lin Beixuan muttered to himself. Relying on the divine power transformed from the Killing Seal, Lin Beixuan activated the Bewitching Pearl to conceal his aura and walked towards the door closest to him.

……

Meanwhile, within the Valley of Two Realms, surging divine power nearly shattered the entire sky, revealing a universe of shimmering stars and changing weather.

The light of the Xuan Tian Grand Array had dimmed to its extreme, and the originally flowing runes were like candles flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

The membrane was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and every time it was attacked by the Pillar Demon God, it would make a teeth-grinding crunching sound, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.

The Heavenly Gang Venerable's body was reduced to only half its original size, his body embedded in the stone wall of the massive Two Realms Mountain. His face was as pale as paper, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He tried to hold off the End Demon God alone, hoping that the remaining mortals would kill as many of the Lower Pillar Demon Gods as possible.

Unfortunately, his plan failed. When the God of Fear emerged, he alone was able to hold off the remaining half of the mortals.

If it weren't for the Zhou Tian Star Wheel and the Xuan Tian Great Array sealing off many of the Pillar Demon Gods, the Great Mortal God, the Lesser Mortal God, and the Northern Underworld Army would probably have been wiped out in an instant.

However, even now, the Xuan Tian Formation can't hold out for much longer. Once the temporarily trapped Pillar Demons are freed, the battle within the Two Realms Valley will be completely reversed.

The sound of the bell of the Divine Lord of Illusion echoed continuously in the valley. Anyone who heard the sound could slowly recover their injuries and strength under the healing power of the divine power.

However, the offensive from the world behind the door continued relentlessly. In fact, many people had already died once on the battlefield, only to be brought back to life by the power of the jade gourd.

Those who were brought back from the dead did not feel fear, but instead joined the battle once again.

"Even if it means death, I will not let you cross the Two Realms Mountain!"

The voice of Yin Hu echoed in the sky, and the Yin and Yang energies transformed into two enormous black and white tigers, which pounced on the God of Fear.

Despite being attacked by several mortal beings, the God of Fear only suffered minor injuries.

The demonic power surrounding it was like a natural disaster, and its true form transformed into a giant humanoid raven, spreading fear wantonly outwards.

It sneered, "Without the Lord of the Underworld and Chenlong, you are truly nothing."

The Moon Goddess remained expressionless, her chilling aura sealing away the countless crow feathers before pulling them into the void.

She couldn't allow the power of the Fear Demon God to affect the battle between the mortal gods and the Northern Underworld Army below; otherwise, even the casual aura it released could greatly impact the battle below.

This war between two worlds has dragged on for so long, and the secular world is ultimately at a disadvantage.

Faced with the unbalanced origin of the Abyss Realm, whether it be the four pillars of demons or ordinary corpses, they all showed the utmost contempt for their own lives and the lives of others.
