Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 919 Lord of Darkness (Part 2)

Standing atop the floating city, Garnard and the other two Rockman legends looked at the Dark God Church's church flying across the land below with complex expressions.

"If we could also have such a floating city, perhaps the Lord of Darkness would have been driven out of our homeland long ago."

A legendary Rockman sighed, a huge scar running across his face making him look somewhat ferocious.

"Who says otherwise? It's a pity that building a floating city is too expensive, and we are not spellcasters either."

Another legendary Rockman picked up the conversation, then looked at Garnard and asked telepathically, "Lord Garnard, how did you persuade a legendary spellcaster as powerful as Lord Gaoyang to come to our homeland?"

Garnard's eyes flickered for a moment, then he replied directly: "Lord Gaoyang is not a spellcaster. This floating city is just a spoil of war he acquired not long ago."

As for how he persuaded Lord Gaoyang, you don't need to concern yourselves with that.

After driving the Lord of Darkness out of our plane, there are still many things that require your attention.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Therefore, in the great battle that followed, you must survive."

The two Rockman legends standing behind him nodded silently upon hearing this.

The floating city moved so fast that the followers of the Dark Church on the ground only had time to notice it before they could make any move and it disappeared from sight.

Driven by the extreme speed of the floating city, Gao Yang and his group rushed towards the Holy Court of the Dark God Cult in an almost frenzied manner.

As the floating city arrived, beams of black light shot into the sky from the city below, instantly transforming into a dark curtain that blocked the way for the floating city.

Upon seeing the dark canopy blocking their path, Garnard and his two companions visibly became wary.

"Lord Gaoyang, we will do our best to stop eight of them later."

With his spear in hand, Garnard exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain.

The two Rockman legends behind Garnard also drew their weapons, their faces resolute, clearly prepared for a fight to the death.

"Meow~ Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

Milofina, perched on Gao Yang's shoulder, saw the three of them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy and said arrogantly, "A mere dozen or so legends are nothing, we can take them down with a flick of our wrist, right, Gao Yang?"

Gao Yang smiled helplessly, and Yongyao automatically appeared in his hand. He said, "Since you've put it that way, wouldn't it be a loss of face for our Queen if we couldn't cut it down with one sword?"

With that, he led Milofina out of the floating city.

Upon seeing this, Garnard and his two companions immediately set off to chase after the two.

But a thick magical shield blocked their path, and they could only stand helplessly at the edge of the floating city and watch Gao Yang walk toward the legends of the Dark Cult.

Milofina, her body radiating golden flames, remained completely unfazed by the oppressive darkness before her. Instead, she let out a boastful laugh: "Hahaha, Gao Yang is coming!"

Gao Yang nodded slightly, and then felt his fighting spirit and strength begin to increase rapidly with Milofina's assistance.

Gao Yang took a step forward, and as if shedding his shell, one of his bodies remained in place. Then he took another step forward, and the other body was dragged out again.

After three steps, three identical Gao Yangs appeared before everyone's eyes.

When Garnard saw the three identical Gao Yangs, he couldn't help but gasp. He no longer felt any resentment about his previous defeat.

The three Gao Yangs simultaneously raised their Yongyao swords and, without saying a word, slashed down with their swords.

"Natural Disaster - Spatial Torrent"

As the three swords slashed down simultaneously, although it was only three strikes, in that instant, the space where the strikes took place seemed to be a thousand-layer cake that had been stretched open from both sides. One after another, the same strikes broke away from the original three strikes and transformed into a torrent of sword energy that slashed towards the dark sky opposite.

"court death!"

In the dark sky, a furious roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Then, the dark sky surged, and countless enormous black fists, blotting out the sun, slammed towards Gao Yang. Wherever the fists passed, space distorted, their power astonishing.

Inside the floating city, Garnard and his two companions were horrified as they watched the colossal fist hurtling towards them, its size obscuring the sky.

They had never seen the legendary figures of the Dark God Cult launch such an attack together before. If the Dark God Cult had used such methods in previous battles, they probably would have been unable to withstand it long ago.

However, the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Faced with the surging torrent of sword energy, the black giant fist did not even have the slightest effect of blocking it before it was completely severed by the slashes.

Immediately afterwards, countless sword energies slashed into the dark sky, and for a moment the sharp sound of swords echoed through the heavens.

As the sword's cry subsided, the dark sky had been shattered into pieces, and Garnard and his companions saw mangled bodies falling helplessly from the broken sky.

With Garnard and the others' sharp eyesight, they could clearly see the faces of those mutilated bodies.

"One, twenty-three, fourteen... Lord Garnard, it seems the legends of the Dark God Cult have been wiped out?" A Rockman legend's voice trembled slightly. He found it hard to believe that the legends of the Dark God Cult, who had almost completely exterminated the Rockmen, had been wiped out by a single sword strike.

"Is this the strength of that lord?" Another Rockman Legend's eyes gleamed with fervor as he stared at Gao Yang's retreating figure ahead.

Garnard was equally surprised, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of his own overestimation of his abilities.

He had previously thought that he could fight Gao Yang to a draw.

In retrospect, it was all just his own arrogance.

In reality, although Gao Yang did not use his full strength in the fight against Garnard, he did not go too far over it either.

The key to his current performance is Milofina's support.

If Gao Yang's combat power was 100 without Milofina's assistance, then with Milofina's help, his combat power would at least soar to 160 or 170.

It seems like it only increased by less than double, but what if Garnard's combat power is only seventy?

This means that with Milofina's assistance, Gao Yang's combat power is more than twice that of Garnard.

"Meow~ Well done!!"

Milofina flew to Gao Yang and excitedly stretched out her little paw. Seeing this, Gao Yang reached out his left hand and touched it with hers, saying with a slight smile:
"It's all thanks to our Queen's excellent assistance."

Milofina, who was in high spirits, immediately puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Of course."

After saying that, she looked at Gao Yang, coughed, and said, "But Gao Yang, your performance was also very good."

Gao Yang smiled, then his smile faded and he released his senses.

A few seconds later, he raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "All the legendary figures have been killed, yet that evil god hasn't made a single move? Could it be that not enough have been killed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yang took another step forward. His blazing fighting spirit, as hot as the sun, and the Nine Capital Thunder erupted from his body, instantly transforming into a hell of thunder and fire that enveloped the city below.

Then, a sword tip wreathed in lightning and fire broke through the lightning and fire inferno and slowly fell towards the city below.

Looking at the seemingly endless inferno of thunder and fire, and the sword tip that was a tenth the size of a city, the three of them were almost frozen in thought.

They exchanged glances, and each saw the incomprehension in the eyes of the others.

It's as if it's saying: Everyone else is a legend, so why is this person so outrageous?

The Thunderfire Greatsword fell from the purgatory, crashing into the city below and penetrating deep into the earth. In the next instant, a violent shockwave of thunderfire sword energy swept outwards in a ring shape, obliterating everything in its path.

After a single sword strike, the entire city was wiped out.

As for the dark believers and the various altars used for blood sacrifices, they were all destroyed.

Garnard and his two companions were once again shocked by Gao Yang's methods. To be honest, if they were in Gao Yang's position, even if they had the ability to destroy everything below, they probably wouldn't be as decisive as Gao Yang.

As the legend of the Dark God Cult and the destruction of the Holy Court by Gao Yang unfolded, a black moon suddenly broke through the layers of clouds and appeared above Gao Yang's head.

Immediately afterwards, a dense, dark light, as thick as water, suddenly burst forth from the black moon, pulling everything in its path into the darkness.

Gao Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at the black moon hanging high in the sky. In the center of the black moon, a figure clearly appeared in his eyes.

It was a humanoid being, but with four extremely irregular arms. A pale exoskeleton covered its body, making it appear both pale and cruel.

"Network notification: Warning, due to your actions, you have been observed by the Dark Moon Demon God - Lord of Darkness."

"Network notification: Warning, the Dark Moon Demon God - Lord of Darkness has descended."

"Network Scenario Warning/Extremely Harsh Environment Alert: Due to the influence of the Lord of Darkness's abilities, the surrounding environment has changed. All life within this area will be considered an enemy by Him and will suffer a continuous fear check with a -30% chance of gaining rationality. Related spell effects that require a rationality check are considered as conditions for gaining the initial harshness check..."

"Network notification: The power of the Dark Lord's domain has temporarily reduced your overall attributes by 20%, increased your movement speed by 100%, and greatly reduced your reaction speed. You need to undergo a physical check every second. If the check fails, your speed will increase by 10%."

"Network Tip: The Blasphemer title takes effect, giving you +1 resistance to related divine spells."

"Network notification: Otherworldly divine power rule detected. Eternal Radiance Divine Might - Hunting is in effect. You have been exempted from the Dark Lord's domain power. You have gained the Hunting Divine Blessing. The initial damage you inflict on other gods cannot be weakened."

As a dim light bloomed, a series of notifications from the integrated network appeared before Gao Yang's eyes.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow, looking at the network notification in front of him with some surprise. This was the first time he had encountered a domain that could increase the speed of his opponent.

Moreover, it's a direct doubling of the increase.

However, in the next instant, Gao Yang understood the reason for the effect of the Lord of Darkness's domain.

The scattered black moonlight remained condensed in the space, like sharp thorns, moving erratically through the area.

In this environment, even moving requires extreme caution. If one's reaction time is greatly reduced while being accelerated, it is almost impossible to avoid these Black Moon Spikes.

Needless to say, being pierced by these Black Moon Spikes would be extremely painful.

However, these had no effect on Gao Yang. The scorching solar battle aura burned on his body, and the Black Moon Spikes that were nearby were melted before they could even get close.

He looked up at the Lord of Darkness in the black moon, whose seven pitch-black eyes, densely packed on its head, were also staring at Gao Yang at the same time.

As their eyes met, Gao Yang felt as if a series of dark moons appeared in his vision. The hazy moonlight was like the gentlest embrace, making one want to immerse oneself in it and never wake up again.

From Garnard and the others' perspective, the moment Gao Yang looked up, the Lord of Darkness on the Black Moon had already disappeared. In its place, it silently appeared behind Gao Yang, grasping the Black Moon Spikes in one of its hands, forming a large spear.

Then, the moment the spear was formed, it pierced down towards Gao Yang's head.

A very subtle ripple appeared in the space. Just as the spear was about to pierce the back of Gao Yang's head, Gao Yang tilted his head and easily dodged the thrust.

A hint of confusion appeared in the Lord of Darkness's eyes, but it quickly turned into surprise.

As Gao Yang dodged the Dark Lord's attack, he twisted his body and slashed down with his sword.

An arm emerged from the Lord of Darkness's abdomen, holding a dark moon in its palm. Strands of black threads emanated from the moon, causing the surrounding space to slightly collapse and distort.

He pushed the dark moon toward the eternal radiance that Gao Yang was about to strike, intending to use the dark moon to block the edge of the eternal radiance's sword.

But Yongyao, who had been cut down, did not waver in the slightest. He swiftly severed all the black threads that had gathered and then struck the Dark Moon with his sword.

Boom~
The space behind the Lord of Darkness trembled violently. Amidst this tremor, numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the Dark Moon in His hand, followed by a sharp crack as it suddenly shattered.

Like a phantom, Yongyao struck again at the neck of the Lord of Darkness the instant he shattered the Dark Moon.

Under the blessing of the rules of destruction and slaughter, a hissing dark red sword aura emanated from the tip of the Eternal Radiance Sword.

The Lord of Darkness's pupils contracted slightly, and his body seemed to reverse time, suddenly appearing a hundred meters above Gao Yang.

He looked down at Gao Yang, who had just slashed through the air with his sword, and suddenly spoke: "You blasphemer, why do you oppose me?"

Gao Yang straightened up, revealing a sinister smile. He didn't answer, but instead unleashed a powerful slash at the Lord of Darkness from afar.

He never bothered with engaging in verbal sparring with the enemy.

Rather than engaging in empty talk, he would much rather see his enemy beheaded. At that time, he might respond to the enemy's unseeing head.
