Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

"Waste! Waste! Waste!"

In the dark and boundless void of the astral plane, the Lord of Desire's face was twisted with rage, and he cursed the Lord of Blade, who was already dead beyond any doubt, in his heart.

The Desire Lord wished he could tear the Blade Master to pieces for his despicable behavior of not only being unable to live well himself but also not wanting others to live well.

But before he could tear the Blade Master to pieces, the first thing he had to do was get rid of the man behind him who had instantly killed the Blade Master with three sword strikes.

The Lord of Desire believed he had been extremely cautious, not even entering Servis's territory, but merely releasing a clone of his desire to coordinate with the Lord of Blade's actions.

Who knew that this cautious little habit would allow the Desire Master to escape his initial death, and also show him what it meant to be crushed.

What level of existence is the Blade Master? It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Pantheon, his ability to fight head-on is second only to the God Lord and the Demon Lord.

Among the publicly available information known to the Lord of Desire, there were three powerful deities who directly fought and killed the Lord of Blade.

The Blade Master comprehended the Law of Destruction, which perfectly matched the Ultimate Weapon Path he created. With the two combined, the Blade Master's combat power and killing power far exceeded that of ordinary people. It was precisely because of this that the Blade Master was able to become one of the Five Lords of the Gods' Assembly.

However, this incredibly powerful person died so easily at the hands of the person they had designated as their "prey," killed by a mere three casual sword strikes.

The Lord of Desire had considered the possibility of the Lord of Blade's death, but he imagined that, given the Lord of Blade's power, his death would take place in a desolate and chaotic astral void, against the backdrop of countless shattered planets and planes, with the supreme god of the pantheon as his opponent, and after a fierce battle, he would ultimately be defeated and killed.

Instead of being so humiliated as to be easily killed head-on with three swords.

This way of dying is too hasty and humiliating, unbecoming of the Blade Master's status.

Similarly, it does not conform to the desire of the person in question regarding their own expectations of death.

Seeing the sword-wielding figure suddenly appear before him, the Lord of Desire's face twisted, revealing boundless rage.

Although his rage dominated everything, the true spirit of desire hidden beneath all his emotions knew very well that he was going to die.

The fact that the Blade Master, who was far superior to him in direct combat, was killed by the person in front of him with three swords, and that he was now being approached by the opponent, already said everything.

Gao Yang stood in front of the Lord of Desire, sword in hand, and slashed down mercilessly.

The Lord's eyes were bloodshot, and an emotional fire more violent than magma exploded instantly. In just a moment, the astral void was filled with this emotional flame, and several planets churned and melted in the sea of ​​fire.

The greatsword slashed into the sea of ​​fire. The Lord of Desire let out a low roar, widening the distance between himself and Gao Yang. He traversed the void of the star realm at high speed, moving away from Gao Yang at an alarming rate.

The twisted rage on his face had vanished, replaced by an uncontrollable joy.

He realized that Gao Yang's strike had not killed him instantly. Although it had caused him considerable injury, it was well within his tolerance.

Judging from his actions, he was not as relaxed and carefree as he appeared when he killed the Lord of the Mind and the Lord of the Blade.

'Yes, that must be it. He was struck head-on by the Blade Master during his attack on the Lord of the Mind.'

'I can escape, I can survive. As long as I can return to the Council of Gods, neither the Demon Lord nor the God Lord can easily kill him!'

Fueled by this joyful emotion, the Desire Master fled at an almost instantaneous speed.

Gao Yang's will was locked on the Desire Master, letting him speed away without rushing to pursue him.

A few seconds later, the Lord of Desire had already shot into the depths of the void. Only then did Gao Yang tear apart the void in front of him with a sword, step into it, and appear not far behind the Lord of Desire, and then slash out with his sword again.

The Lord of Desire roared and clashed with Gao Yang again, a deep, bone-revealing slash suddenly appearing on his back.

Using this power, the Desire Lord once again widened the distance between himself and Gao Yang, and his face switched back to a look of joy.

Seeing the Lord of Desire flee once again, Gao Yang stepped forward and chased after him.

And so, the two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, broke into the astral plane from the void of the astral plane. Under the watchful eyes of many trembling astral creatures, they rampaged recklessly, constantly crossing the astral plane.

Within the silvery-white star realm, the Lord of Desire's pupils trembled continuously, yet his face still wore an unbridled smile. Fueled by this joyful emotion, despite his exhaustion and pain, his speed did not diminish in the slightest.

Behind him, Gao Yang followed at a distance with his sword, occasionally catching up with the Lord of Desire and unleashing a slash.

The chase between the two had lasted for half a day, and the Lord of Desire now fully understood that it was not because Gao Yang was injured and his strength had decreased that he was unable to kill him.

The other party had the power to kill him completely, but instead of killing him, they drove him away like a flock of sheep. Their real target was not him, but the stronghold of the Pantheon.

Gao Yang was heading to the headquarters of the Pantheon to annihilate the entire Pantheon, which is why he has been able to survive until now.

After understanding Gao Yang's thoughts, the Lord of Desire really wanted to say that there was no need to drive him away like this; he could have taken Gao Yang directly to the headquarters of the Gods' Society.

As for betraying the Pantheon, neither the Lord of Desire nor any of the members of the Pantheon felt any guilt whatsoever.

Isn't an organization just for betraying others and taking the blame? If an organization can't take the blame for me, and it doesn't even have any value to be betrayed, then what's the point of joining it?
Another sword strike came, which Yu Zhu barely managed to block, leaving him with another deep, bone-revealing cut.

The more this happened, the brighter and more sincere his smile became, and the faster he moved.

After chasing each other for a while, the Lord of Desire suddenly reached out and tore the Star Realm in front of him apart, bursting out of the Star Realm from the shattered pieces.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow and followed closely behind, rushing out of the Star Realm.

The instant the Desire Lord broke out of the Astral Plane and returned to the Astral Void, the fluctuations of his will had already spread out:
"Demon Lord, save me! God Lord, save me!"

The call of will swept across the void in a very short time, spreading continuously into the depths of the void.

As soon as Gao Yang stepped out of the Star Realm, he sensed the Desire Lord's movements. With a thought, his will spread outwards.

In an instant, his brilliant will swept across the void, surpassing the will fluctuations of the Desire Lord, and continued to spread into the depths of the void.

Wherever his will passed, all sorts of information immediately appeared in Gao Yang's perception. Everything he had experienced here, whether in the past or present, all surfaced in his mind.

In that instant, Gao Yang had achieved a state of "unity of heaven and man" with this hidden crystal wall system. All information within the range of his will appeared in his mind in great detail. The location of the Pantheon, the five lords of the five directions, the ten subordinate gods, the thousand kinds of subordinate gods, the myriad kinds of divine servants, the bishops, the executioners, the followers, the prospective followers... all this information was instantly known to Gao Yang.

Amidst this overwhelming torrent of information, Gao Yang's eyes remained exceptionally clear as he meticulously searched for information about the God Lord and the Demon Lord.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
In just three seconds, Gao Yang had already sorted out and analyzed all the past information about the Pantheon, and found some information about the Pantheon's two leaders - the God Lord and the Demon Lord.

The God Lord was the founder of the Pantheon, and the foundation of the Pantheon was the unique skill of plunder that was passed down from the God Lord. The Demon Lord was the second person to join the Pantheon after its establishment.

From the Demon Lord, all members of the Pantheon obtained the method to invade other people's abysses for training.

Only through the combination of these two factors could this massive organization be formally established.

As for the strength of the God Lord and the Demon Lord, Gao Yang couldn't detect even the slightest bit of it.

The reason is simple: let alone the God Lord and the Demon Lord, even Gao Yang, with a thought at this moment, can traverse the entire Crystal Wall System, freely travel through the multiverse, and gather all his own information. As long as he doesn't want to, no one can find any trace of him.

As the founders and strongest members of the Pantheon, the God Lord and the Demon Lord are undoubtedly incredibly powerful, and concealing their own information is a piece of cake for them.

In fact, if it weren't for the Lord of Desire's call, Gao Yang estimated that he wouldn't have been able to detect any information about the God Lord and the Demon Lord in those few seconds.

However, the moment the Lord of Desire invoked the names of the God Lord and the Demon Lord, Gao Yang captured the various pieces of information left behind by the two within this hidden crystal wall system.

Just as Gao Yang was experiencing the feeling of controlling the universe by merging with the crystal wall system through "unity of heaven and man", his will was suddenly struck by an incomparably tyrannical will.

Gao Yang's will, which had spread out like a tide, instantly subsided. In that instant, he seemed to "see" a burly figure standing with his hands behind his back and his black hair wildly dancing at the origin of this crystal wall system.

The instant Gao Yang sensed that imposing figure, he immediately realized that this person was the "Demon Lord" that the Lord of Desire had spoken of.

The moment he sensed the other person's presence, the other person also turned their head to "look" at him, and then gave him a wild and domineering smile.

The Demon Lord discovered him.

Gao Yang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already in front of the Lord of Desire. Yongyao, exuding boundless killing intent, slashed down gracefully.

The Lord of Desire suddenly erupted with seven-colored light, stirring up the void of the star realm and transforming into a giant hand that blotted out the starry sky, smashing down towards Gao Yang.

Gao Yang didn't even lift his eyelids before Yongyao had already sliced ​​through the incoming seven-colored hand and continued its momentum as it struck the Desire Master.

The expression on the Lord's face changed rapidly. In a short moment, all sorts of emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, greed, hatred, and delusion, shifted a thousand times. Finally, a look of extreme bitterness and sorrow appeared on his face.

His eyelids drooped, the corners of his mouth turned down, his brows were furrowed, and his face hung limply on his cheekbones; immense sorrow was emanating from his face.

"I'm going to die eventually. I told you this kind of thing can't last long. It's only been a few tens of thousands of years, and we're going to be wiped out in one fell swoop."

The final wave of the Desire Lord's will spread, and then everything about him began to dissipate rapidly. All that existed within him had been completely obliterated by this sword.

"Kill my men right in front of me?"

A deep and domineering voice echoed through the void of the star realm, and a towering figure appeared silently not far in front of Gao Yang.

His appearance caused the previously turbulent astral void to freeze instantly, and then everything around him seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, and everything returned to calm.

After Gao Yang killed the Lord of Desire with a single sword strike, he slowly turned around, looked at the imposing man who had appeared there, and slowly spoke:
"So what if he's dead? He should have died a long time ago anyway."

"Although what you said is true." The Demon Lord put his hands behind his back, glanced at the place where the Lord of Desire died, sighed, and said, "He was, after all, a member of my Pantheon. It's really not fair that he was killed by a mere brat like you."

"My skills are inferior to others."

Platinum-gold solar battle aura emanated from Gao Yang's body, and azure-gold light shone from his pupils. He looked at the Demon Lord before him and asked:

"Where is the God?"

"Him? I don't know. The Pantheon is not something he values. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for nearly ten thousand years. He may have died in some unknown corner."

After the Demon Lord finished speaking, a majestic throne about a hundred meters high, made entirely of starlight, appeared behind him. He sat on it, his two-meter-tall, imposing body perfectly proportioned on the hundred-meter-high throne, as if the throne was created to support his magnificent form.

After sitting down, the Demon Lord rested his chin on his right hand, looked at Gao Yang casually, and said easily, "Perhaps after you kill me, the God Lord will appear."

Or, I'll give you another chance to join the Council of Gods. The Demon Lord himself has invited you; such an opportunity is unique in millennia.

Gao Yang stood before the majestic throne, his gaze calm: "There's no need to join. The Council of Gods has no reason to exist, so it's better to destroy it completely."

"I haven't heard this kind of talk in a long time."

The Demon Lord did not get up. He raised his free left hand and flicked his finger at Gao Yang.

Kakakka~
The pure, violent pressure came rushing towards us in a finger-like shape, and the astral void groaned incessantly. Wherever the finger force passed, everything turned into chaotic nothingness.

Gao Yang faced this violent and pure finger force head-on and threw a punch.

With a deafening roar, the chaotic void exploded between Gao Yang and the Demon Lord, spreading like a raging sea into the depths of the star realm void, swallowing and annihilating everything in its path.

"How cruel! This one collision alone destroyed seven planes at your hands."

As the Demon Lord spoke, images appeared before Gao Yang: planes shattered instantly by the impact of their power, with the heavens and earth collapsing and all living beings suffering.

The Demon Lord responded with a great silver sword that shattered the chaos.

The illusion shattered, and the Demon Lord rose from his throne, bent his arm to gather strength, and then unleashed a punch.

As the sword and fist collided, the chaotic void came to a sudden halt, and the entire crystal system seemed to stop operating at that moment, with the spacetime in which both existed being completely distorted.

With just one collision, the two shattered the void of the astral plane and entered the astral plane itself. (End of Chapter)
