Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 317 God

Gu Mo hadn't expected Tianmen to slip away so decisively.

However, this is in line with Tianmen's character. After all, he had only ascended to immortality in his physical body before Tianmen disappeared, which is enough to show that he is a very steady guy.

"Want to go?"

Gu Mo snorted coldly.
He immediately activated the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique empowered by the War God Diagram, and his domain suddenly roared. The boundless demonic energy was no longer an invisible and intangible energy, but transformed into a viscous, tangible dark torrent that surged with the will to destroy and devour, and then erupted with a bang.

This power instantly connected with the demonic energy of the demonic blade, and at the same time, Gu Mo also mobilized the source energy of the demonic stone.

hum-

A massive, pitch-black domain that covered the entire sky instantly took shape, replacing the original colorful clouds and thunderstorms.

This is the ultimate realm evolved from the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique combined with the demonic energy of the Demon Blade and the source energy of the Demon Stone—the Demon Immortal Barrier.

Within the barrier, demonic energy surged like billions of roaring black dragons, forcibly distorting and solidifying space, and even causing time to flow sluggishly.

The moment the colorful rays of light touched this pure, dark demonic realm, they melted away like ice and snow, emitting a hissing sound. The entire Tian Sheng Lake area was completely devoured by light, plunging into a suffocating, absolute darkness and cold that seemed to freeze even the soul.

The water vapor in the void boiled violently under the demonic pressure, yet strangely no steam rose, as if even the water molecules were suppressed by the demonic energy and could not escape.

"Roar--!"

The giant eye of the Heavenly Gate, forcibly blocked by the magic fairy barrier, let out a strange roar.

Behind the tightly closed Heavenly Gate, countless pale tentacles, covered with suckers and bizarre patterns, which had appeared before, carrying a nauseating, foul-smelling slime and chaotic mental shock, lashed out at the dark barrier like pythons emerging from their caves.

Chi Chi Chi -!
The tentacles struck the barrier, producing a corrosive sound. The demonic energy clashed fiercely with the chaotic, viscous energy, scattering eerie sparks that were a mixture of dark red and pitch black.

The barrier trembled violently, as if it might be torn apart at any moment!
"cut!"

Gu Mo snorted coldly, and the Gouchen Demon Blade in his hand erupted with boundless evil intent. The flames on the blade surged, turning from crimson to deep dark gold, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature that could burn away the entire world.

He took a step forward, his figure merging into the demonic realm, as if he had become darkness itself, and a flash of sword light appeared!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a thin, dark gold line that seemed capable of slicing through chaos and ending eternity flashed by!
Puff puff puff puff——!
Those incredibly tough tentacles, capable of withstanding the impact of the primordial spirit, crumbled like rotten wood before this blade light, which contained the ultimate destruction and demonic energy!
Thick, foul-smelling, dark yellow blood sprayed like a torrential rain, landing on the demonic energy barrier and even emitting a sizzling, corrosive sound, before being annihilated by the even more violent demonic energy. The severed tentacles twisted and convulsed wildly, quickly retracting into the gap in the Heavenly Gate, leaving behind a chilling hiss.

"Break it for me!"

Gu Mo's sword strike was not yet finished; he pressed down with a backhand!
Boom!

The entire magical barrier suddenly collapsed and increased in pressure.

The boundless demonic energy transformed into a massive, tangible pressure, like an ancient demonic mountain collapsing, crushing down upon the tightly closed heavenly gate.

The space groaned under the strain, cracking open with dark fissures.

This is pure, brutal crushing power, meant to grind this filthy "sacred" gate, along with the monsters within, into dust!
"Creak... Boom—!"

Unable to withstand the terrifying demonic pressure, the tightly closed Heavenly Gate was actually forced open from the inside!

This time, instead of the doors opening wide to welcome the ascendants, they were forcibly broken open, and the endless, twisted, writhing dark void behind the doors, as well as the bloodshot, pale giant eye that filled the entire field of vision, were exposed without any concealment to the dark sky of the magic fairy barrier.

The giant eye's pupils contracted sharply, reflecting Gu Mo's demonic figure, filled with shock, anger, and a hint of...unbelievable fear.

"Found you! Let me see what you really are!"

Demonic flames surged in Gu Mo's eyes as he locked onto his target.

He gripped the blade with both hands, pouring the demonic energy of the magic stone and the killing demonic aura into the Gouchen Demon Blade without reservation!

The blade trembled violently, and the dark golden flames transformed into an ultimate, ethereal demonic blade that seemed capable of devouring all light.

"cut!"

A blade of energy, whose color cannot be described in words, detached from the blade.

It was not a straight line, but rather it distorted space like a living thing. Wherever it passed, the magical fairy barrier made way for it and amplified its power. The concepts of time and space became blurred in the face of this strike.

This is a strike that embodies Gu Mo's strongest power at this moment and contains the most powerful and perfect killing intent in the world!
The blade's target was the center of the giant eye's enormous pupil.

The giant eye sensed a deadly threat. Countless shattered stars spun wildly deep within its pupils, attempting to coalesce into the strongest chaotic mental barrier. At the same time, countless newly formed tentacles intertwined to form a thick fleshy shield in front of it, with viscous, dark yellow energy layering up like a tangible shield.

However, in the face of Gu Mo's all-consuming, all-destroying strike, all defenses seemed futile!

laugh--

The blade's energy pierced through layers of tentacle flesh without any hindrance, tore through the viscous energy shield, and finally pierced with unparalleled precision into those bloodshot, pale pupils!

"squeak--!!!!!"

An unprecedented, indescribably shrill scream, exceeding the limits of hearing and exploding directly at the soul level, erupted.

This scream contained endless pain, resentment, and madness.

A huge, demonic-infused rift suddenly opened up at the point where the giant eye had been pierced.

No longer the dark yellow blood from the severed tentacles, but a dark golden blood as viscous as magma, exuding an aura of destruction and misfortune, gushing out like a river bursting its banks!

This blood possesses terrifying corrosiveness. When it drips onto the magical fairy barrier, it causes the incredibly sturdy barrier to fluctuate violently, emitting a hissing sound and rising eerie black smoke.

Gu Mo did not pause at all.

The Gouchen Demon Blade was raised once more, and an even more terrifying demonic power began to gather.

Kill it while it's sick!
With his next strike, he would completely obliterate this eerie Heavenly Gate, along with the giant eye within it.

However, just as Gu Mo was about to unleash his second strike!
An indescribable, irresistible, and deadly sense of threat, surpassing all of Gu Mo's previous knowledge, instantly coiled around the core of his soul like a cold, venomous snake!
That was not a forceful impact, but an absolute suppression on a life level.

At this moment, what shocked Gu Mo was that
The laws of the world he perceived were distorted.

The Qi of the Law was suppressed, and the Qi of the Magic Stone Source could not move.

boom--! ! !
Without any warning or energy fluctuation, the demonic barrier, constructed with the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique as its core, along with the killing demonic energy and demonic stone source energy, was like a glass dome struck by a massive hammer. It couldn't even withstand the weight for a moment before letting out a mournful cry of unbearable pressure and shattering into pieces!

puff!
The moment his domain was forcibly crushed, Gu Mo felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. His Ascension Realm body felt a tearing pain. The Gouchen Demon Blade in his hand, which was burning with the flames of world destruction, was instantly dimmed as if extinguished by an invisible hand, and even the blade itself emitted a faint mournful cry.

The surging, overwhelming demonic energy surrounding him, powerful enough to chill even the giant eye of the Heavenly Gate, was suppressed back into his body by a mysterious force, making its circulation extremely difficult.

Gu Mo's expression became extremely solemn.

He realized that this might be an existence that transcends the source of Qi.

In the sky, the severely damaged Heavenly Gate Giant Eye emitted a strange and urgent syllable that sounded like a call or a lament.

Gu Mo, being a being above the Ascension Realm, clearly "heard" a single word after careful discernment:

"god!"

Just then, a system notification sounded in Gu Mo's mind:
【New target detected】

[Wanted Target - God]

[Mission Level - Nine Stars?]

[Quest Reward - Max Level Six Annihilation Selfless Sword Twenty-Three]

……

Gu Mo's heart skipped a beat.
I immediately recalled the story of the Seven Sages Slaying Gods that Master Huineng told me when I met him in the Northern Zhou Kingdom some time ago.

There really is a god.

Previously, the system had not detected it, but now that this god has made a move, it has been detected. The level of this god is beyond comprehension.

For a moment, Gu Mo felt numb all over.
His eyes shone brightly as he channeled his inner energy to look around, but he could see nothing at all.
but,
He clearly sensed a terrifying force descending.

At that moment,

Gu Mo clearly saw that the restrictive power hidden in Wang Qingping's primordial spirit by Bai Yujing was as if it had been startled, and it was instantly severed and disappeared without a trace.

That power seemed to be nothing more than an invisible and intangible pressure, or more like a gaze cast from afar; there was nothing there, and nothing could be perceived.

But it made Gu Mo feel threatened by death.

"hold head high--!"

At this moment, the power of the Dragon God Technique within Gu Mo's body was activated to its maximum.

A dragon's roar that pierced through gold and shattered rocks, shaking the heavens, erupted, and he instantly transformed into a divine dragon a hundred feet long, its scales shimmering with dark gold and lightning.

The dragon roared, piercing through space and summoning a sky full of thunder.

In an instant, the dark clouds above Tian Sheng Lake dissipated, replaced by a terrifying thunder pool that covered the sky.

The dense lightning bolts, like whips of divine punishment, with their overwhelming power to destroy everything, lashed down madly towards the source of the invisible pressure. Torrential rain poured down, and divine dragons weaved through the clouds.

However, faced with this earth-shattering thunderstorm, the invisible pressure only... paused slightly.

Immediately afterwards, an even greater, colder force, seemingly representing the ultimate will of the universe, gently swept by.

Snap, snap——!
The wildly dancing purple-gold divine lightning, like fragile glass threads, broke and vanished inch by inch! Not even a ripple was stirred!
The force fell without hindrance, striking the dragon's body precisely!

"Roar……!"

The dragon let out a painful and low wail. Large pieces of its massive body, which were harder than divine metal, cracked and fell off, turning into gas and dissipating.

The enormous dragon body was slammed down by an irresistible force, like a burning meteorite, crashing into the already turbulent Tian Sheng Lake below!

Boom——

It was as if the sky was falling apart.

The unimaginable impact instantly created a huge vacuum crater in the entire Tian Sheng Lake. Immediately afterwards, the lake water, squeezed to its limit, formed a massive circular wave that crashed outwards with overwhelming force, instantly spreading over the ice walls and dams, surging outwards and rushing downstream towards Qingyang City.

Gu Mo flicked his dragon tail in the water and burst out of the water.

But then they saw the void silently crack open, revealing a deep, dark rift that seemed to lead to the end of the universe.

The giant eye dared not linger for even a moment, and with its flowing dark gold blood, it hastily disappeared into the crevice.

The gap closed instantly, as if it had never existed.

In the sky, only torrential rain and flashing lightning remained.

"hold head high……"

With a deep dragon roar, Gu Mo slowly returned to his human form. His clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in bloodstains, making him look extremely disheveled.

However, his wounds healed at a visible speed, soon disappearing without a trace. Gu Mo reached out and retrieved the Gouchen Demon Blade that had fallen into the lake. He looked up at the sky for a long time, making sure that Tianmen had left and the god's power had disappeared, before quickly flying behind the ice wall.

Fortunately, Hongyi and Gu Chudong intervened in time and intercepted most of the surging river water. Although a large amount of water still rushed out, it was not enough to cause a flood.

"Brother, how are you? Are you alright?"

Gu Chudong flew up quickly and anxiously began to check Gu Mo's body.

After confirming that Gu Mo was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother, what happened just now? You were clearly suppressing Tianmen at the beginning, how did it suddenly..."

"god!"

Gu Mo's eyes were filled with solemnity as he said, "The legend that the Holy Monk Huineng spoke of is true. There really is a god above the human world. However, I cannot see it. The Heavenly Gate and the Inner Demon should both be controlled by it."

Gu Chudong exclaimed in surprise, "Is it very strong?"

“Very strong,” Gu Mo said. “Human martial artist, domain, ascension, and above ascension. I always thought that the source qi above ascension was the end, but that god just now was definitely a higher level of existence than above ascension.”

At this moment,
The woman in red had successfully reinforced the ice wall and floated over slowly, saying, "My lord, if that's the case, then if a god intervenes, wouldn't there be no solution?"

Gu Mo frowned and said, "I don't know. Even above the Origin Qi, it's just a concept I'm describing. I don't know what that power just now was. I felt like it was just a gaze. It didn't really descend. If it had, I definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat it!"

This was the first time Gu Mo had encountered an enemy since his debut who was so clearly certain that he was no match for him.

Even though Qi Miaoxuan suffered a great loss in their previous encounter, Gu Mo has never been in a state where it is clear that even if he fights with all his might, he cannot defeat her.

Gu Chudong asked, "Then what should we do?"

Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "Considering the time difference of one day in heaven being equivalent to one year on earth, even if that so-called god really wants to cause me trouble, it won't be a short time. Let's deal with things here first!"

After all,

Gu Mo raised his hand and pulled Wang Qingping, who was bound by his demonic energy, out of the lake.

at this time,

Wang Qingping, on the contrary, became very calm and said, "Gu Mo, I know I am going to die now and there is no way I can escape from you. But can you let me die knowing why? I want to know just how narrow-minded I have become!"

"What do you want to ask?" Gu Mo asked.

Wang Qingping asked, "Did you deliberately let me ascend today?"

Gu Mo nodded and said, "Tianmen doesn't dare to come to see me. Since you're about to ascend, I can take this opportunity to see what Tianmen really is!"

"So, the ascension was fake?"

Gu Mo said, "I don't know, but Tianmen is definitely fake. I had a suspicion about it a long time ago, and I was basically certain after killing the inner demon."

"So it was you who killed the inner demon!"

Wang Qingping's eyes widened, then she smiled dejectedly and said, "I can't believe... Has the world really developed to this level?"

"There have always been beings in the mortal realm who have surpassed the Ascension Realm, such as the Thirteen Forbidden Ones," Gu Mo said. "You possess the spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Peacock, so you should know that the legendary Forbidden Ones are real."

Wang Qingping paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Before I die, let me tell you something. Just now, when I was almost eaten by the Heavenly Gate, a restriction appeared on my body and pulled me back to the mortal world."

That restrictive power came from Bai Yujing. I don't know what Bai Yujing wants to do. If I hadn't just encountered that incident, I probably would never have known that Bai Yujing had placed a restriction on my primordial spirit. You must have been to Penglai Island too. You... be careful!

Gu Mo said, "I know that everyone who goes to Penglai Island to see Bai Yujing will be placed under a restriction. After the person dies, Bai Yujing will use the restriction to capture the primordial spirit. I didn't kill you directly just now because I wanted to follow the clues to find Bai Yujing. However, I didn't expect that an accident would happen just now. Bai Yujing was so frightened that he cut off the connection."

Wang Qingping fell silent and became withdrawn.

He was greatly traumatized.

He always felt that he belonged to the highest echelons of the world.

But now I realize that I have always been a frog in a well. Even if I successfully ascend to immortality, achieving the ascension I have sought for hundreds of years through all means, I am still a frog in a well.

"You...kill me!"

Wang Qingping closed her eyes.

Gu Mo immediately pointed a finger at Wang Qingping's forehead and instantly used the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique to erase Wang Qingping's consciousness.

He did not directly destroy the primordial spirit.

Because he wanted to preserve this primordial spirit, just as he had used Ling Xiao's primordial spirit as the sword spirit of the Taixu Flying Sword, he wanted to integrate Wang Qingping's primordial spirit into the Dragon Scale Blade he was preparing to forge.

Wang Qingping's primordial spirit is a complete primordial spirit, a being at the Ascension Realm, which is much stronger than Ling Xiao's half-step Ascension Realm.

The instant Wang Qingping's consciousness was erased, a system notification sounded in Gu Mo's mind:
[Slaying a six-star wanted criminal]

[Received a six-star reward - Max-level Dragon Palm]

[Whether to receive it]

……

Gu Mo immediately accepted the Dragon Palm.

Subsequently,

Gu Mo then led Tie Tou and his group away quickly, and then went to inform Du Sha to organize the government to clear the river channels and prevent flooding.

……

It seems that Gu Mo's matter is over.

However, in reality, it caused a great upheaval in some unknown places in the world.

The far north, a perpetually frozen ice field.

From the depths of an iceberg that had remained silent for countless millennia, a faint cracking sound suddenly emanated. The thick ice and snow covering it, along with the ancient glacier, seemed to be forced apart from within by an invisible force, spiderweb-like cracks spreading instantly. Then, with a muffled boom, a massive ice crystal shattered, sending ice shards flying.

At the core of the ice crystal, there was no rare treasure, but a huge peacock with a graceful body and dull, lifeless feathers. It was covered with a thin layer of frost, as if it had just awakened from a long slumber.

The peacock slowly opened its eyes, and a flash of seven-colored light appeared deep within its pupils. It raised its head slightly, as if sensing the earth-shattering event in the distant south across endless ice and space.

After a moment of silence, it spoke in human language: "The first eye has only been gone for a short time, and now the second eye... has something happened again? Is this a real opportunity... or... is it another carefully set bait and trap?"

Just then, a giant woman with white hair and dressed in white emerged from a snow cave and said calmly, "Peacock, it's only been two thousand years since the Azure Dragon's fate, and the gods are already waiting for you to show yourselves. Five hundred years ago, you were lucky enough to survive, so don't cause any more trouble."

The colorful peacock looked up at the sky and slowly condensed back into an ice sculpture.

at the same time,

In a vast and boundless abyss of the ocean.

Beneath the sunless, unreachable trench, in an eternal darkness and immense pressure, a colossal, island-shaped "reef" slowly stirred.

The thick layer of silt and deep-sea sediment covering it slid off, revealing the dark, iron-like outline of the carapace beneath, marked by the passage of time.

Two enormous eyes, like miniature searchlights, slowly opened in the darkness, emitting a faint, eerie green light.

A deep, resonant sound, like the friction of underwater mountains, carrying a power powerful enough to vibrate and resonate the seawater, slowly spread through the silent abyss, startling the glowing fish swimming around it.

"Alas... even the Heavenly Gate is gone,"

The enormous head slightly raised, gazing towards the unseen sea surface, as if piercing through the vast ocean and endless space.

The giant tortoise's voice carried a profound and ancient wisdom: "The inner demons have dissipated... the Heavenly Gate is damaged... has someone finally lost their patience... and is about to step in?"

It paused for a moment, as if savoring the lingering, oppressive feeling that had traveled from afar and stirred the very depths of its soul.

"It seems... a new era of 'godslaying' is about to begin..."

The enormous pupils slowly closed, and the surrounding seawater fell silent once more, leaving only the massive, mountain-like outline faintly visible in the abyss.

……

In the Chu Kingdom, deep within the Great Bright Temple's Sutra Repository.

The air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns lingered softly.

Master Liansheng sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his fingers twirling a string of ancient Bodhi beads as he softly chanted scriptures. His face was calm and serene, as if he had become one with the quiet meditation room.

Suddenly, his fingers, which were twirling the prayer beads, paused for a very slight moment.

That barely perceptible pause seemed to break a certain constant rhythm.

Beneath his lowered eyelids, a complex glint flashed across his calm, deep-pool-like eyes, and the fingers that were turning the prayer beads seemed to slow down a bit more than before.

A very soft sigh, almost imperceptible, blended into the deep chanting:

"Amitabha……"

Immediately afterwards, a phrase, like a Zen saying, flowed silently through his mind:

"The struggle for the Heavenly Way... is ultimately... unavoidable."

Inside the library, the chanting of Buddhist scriptures and the fragrance of sandalwood remained unchanged. Only the string of Bodhi seeds being twirled emitted a more sluggish, subtle friction sound in the silence, as if it carried some indescribable weight.

……

Chang'an City
On the second floor of a bustling tavern, in a private booth by the window, Qi Miaoxuan leaned against the railing, toying with an exquisite white jade wine cup in her hand, watching the bustling crowd below with great interest.

A faint smile played on his lips, as if he were admiring a vivid scene of everyday life. The clear liquor in his glass reflected the newly lit streetlights outside the window.

at this time,

Qi Miaoxuan's lazy smile vanished abruptly.

He suddenly raised his head, his gaze no longer looking down at the masses with a mocking air, but instantly becoming sharp as a hawk's, piercing through the roof of the tavern, through the noisy night fog of Chang'an, and straight into the deep, boundless night sky. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's not Jiang Ruoxu. Someone has actually attacked Tianmen. Could it be Gu Mo again? What a pity, I wonder if he succeeded in killing him!"

"No." The sealed Azure Dragon suddenly spoke.

Qi Miaoxuan asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

The Azure Dragon said, "Because... the God has just made his move. Although he did not descend, once he makes his move, no one in the sky can kill the Heavenly Gate."

"Can't others kill Tianmen in the mortal realm?" Qi Miaoxuan said.

“If this were in the human realm, the gods wouldn’t intervene; they wouldn’t be able to come down,” the Azure Dragon said.

Qi Miaoxuan asked in confusion, "How did you know?"
