Chapter 429 The Lord of Holy Light Dies, Wang Meng Falls

[When the Abyss decides to intervene, when Hell prepares, when everything is developing in the direction planned by the Red Heart Society.]

As expected, the war between the Red Heart Society and the Heavenly Pantheon has broken out.

From Wang Meng and Agrus, who sit atop the thrones of rules, their bodies surging with molten lava and their battle intent soaring to the heavens, to the future warriors who traversed the river of time and space, carrying the blood, tears, and corpses of their comrades and families, the deepest hatred in their souls for the Heavenly pantheon has solidified into a tangible karmic fire.

This hatred did not stem from momentary gains or losses, but from the world-destroying hatred accumulated over countless time cycles, where the Heavenly Gods, in the name of holy light, utterly crushed the spark of the Red Heart Society and the ideals of billions of living beings into dust.

If fate gave them a choice, they would not hesitate to embrace utter annihilation, seeking only to drag these executioners cloaked in the guise of light down with them into eternal darkness.

After all, in those times and spaces destroyed by the holy flames of Heaven, their brothers, comrades, and loved ones all turned into forgotten bones and ashes beneath the holy monument of the Heavenly Pantheon's order.

Such a blood feud has seeped into our very bones; how could it not be avenged?

Now, the Red Heart Society has grown stronger, the mighty power of the True God of Rules stands proudly, the treacherous allies of Hell provide covert support, the sharp edge of their divine military forces gleams coldly, and the impending upheaval in the spirit world serves as the perfect opportunity.

With favorable timing, location, and popular support, how could the Chixin Society possibly tolerate this any longer?

【beat!】

【Must hit! 】

[Fight the war to destroy the world!]

The Red Heart Society's will for revenge burns as fiercely and uniformly as the stars!

We must seize this last window of opportunity before the great chaos descends upon the spirit realm to unleash the raging fury that has been building up over several timelines upon the heavenly pantheon.

[Let this serve as a pretext for a war of destruction, a war to the death, so that the Heavenly Pantheon will also taste the bitterness of the Red Heart Society's revenge!]

Otherwise, if this window of opportunity is missed, the size of the Heavenly Pantheon will inevitably expand.

The Red Heart Society doesn't care who benefits from the Spirit Realm's upheaval, but that person absolutely cannot be from the Heavenly Pantheon.

The moment of revenge has arrived!

Driven by this overwhelming rage, the four True Gods of the Crimson Heart Society, like four blood-stained, god-slaying swords drawn from their sheaths, unleashed their full divine power without reservation, carrying with them a chaotic current of rules that could tear apart galaxies, and crashed into the Heavenly Monarchs who had descended upon the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Red Heart Society's massive war machine roared deafeningly.

[The Red Heart Alliance, scattered across the galaxy; elite special operations squads as sharp as razor blades; and warstar clusters equipped with destructive technology—all, under the highest-level special operations mobilization order, are firing at full speed, their target the glorious yet blood-stained core territory of the Heavenly Pantheon.]

This time, the Red Heart Society will not only shatter the proud crown of the Heavenly Pantheon, but also completely sever its mortal foundations for spreading faith and drawing power throughout the endless world.

[Drag every world that worships idols of heaven into the flames of reckoning!]

The Red Heart Society's sudden, all-out, and ferocious attack—a battle between true gods and mortals—completely stunned the Heavenly Pantheon.

The faces of the Heavenly Lords, including the Lord of Radiance and the Lord of Holy Light, shrouded in holy light, were filled with astonishment and an incredulous sense of absurdity.

Their thoughts clashed wildly, their faces filled with bewilderment.

[I was only there to ask a question, and there was no murderous intent around me; I was just worried about causing a misunderstanding.]

But why is the Red Heart Society reacting so strongly all of a sudden?

[It gives the impression of a creature that has been suppressed by the Heavenly Pantheon for many years, and even had its development base destroyed by the Heavenly Pantheon several times, but has finally risen up after a period of development?]

【Why? 】

They have never treated the Red Heart Society like this before!

Why would the Red Heart Society harbor such an irreconcilable hatred towards Heaven?

Their offensive was so fierce that it seemed they intended to drag paradise into an abyss of no return!

Is it really just because of those trivial frictions or misunderstandings?

【Do not! 】

[It should be said that the Red Heart Society intercepted the incarnation of the Heavenly Lord; shouldn't they be allowed to question them?]

This makes no sense at all!

There must be something else hidden here!

At that moment, a chilling revelation suddenly flashed through the depths of the Holy Light Lord Seraphim's soul, which was constructed of pure light energy.

[Those were three faint marks left by the Lord of Prophets when he used forbidden divine magic to glimpse the River of Fate, tracing the mastermind behind the assassination of the monarch's avatar.]

[Attackers!]

[They have a deep-seated hatred for each other within the same pantheon!]

Could it be that there is a blood debt between them and the Red Heart Society that even the gods of Heaven themselves are unaware of?

In August of the 345th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Wang Meng, the God of War of Rules, sensed that his end was near amidst the continuous onslaught of divine warfare.

The feeling of weakness within myself was already very obvious.

Even with his desperate attempts to suppress it, he couldn't continue for much longer.

[Thus, his gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on two of the most troublesome true gods of the Heavenly Pantheon, the two most difficult for the Red Heart Society to deal with.] [Lord of Radiance!]

Lord of Holy Light!

[One is the strongest shield in the Heavenly Pantheon, and the other is a super healer within the Heavenly Pantheon capable of healing other true gods, even tailoring healing to the wounds of deities.]

These two are the two obstacles standing in the way of the Red Heart Society.

Therefore, before He died, He wanted to help the Red Heart Society eliminate it.

After making this decision, he transmitted his voice to those around him, and although Aglios and the others were saddened, they still began to coordinate with Wang Meng's strategy in the divine war.

[Slowly, the Lord of Radiance and the Lord of Holy Light were brought before Wang Meng by dividing the battlefield.]

At the very moment the time was ripe, Wang Meng's divine body, forged from molten lava and indomitable fighting spirit, suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden-red light that surpassed all limits.

The next moment, His golden divine eyes reflected only the faces of the Lord of Radiance and the Lord of Holy Light—faces etched deep into their true spirits countless lifetimes ago.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without leaving a single last word, the surging, star-like source of the God of War within Wang Meng's body was completely ignited and detonated.

【boom----】

Wang Meng transformed himself into a beam of destructive light that pierced through time and space, tearing apart the defensive barrier constructed of holy light and radiance with a speed exceeding the limits of divine perception.

In an instant, a pair of massive, lava arms, burning with the flames of law, firmly locked down the unsuspecting Lord of Radiance and Lord of Holy Light.

The eyes of the two Heavenly Monarchs trembled violently. Their proud bulwark of faith proved as fragile as crystal before the God of War's reckless self-destruction.

Even though the power of faith accumulated on the sacred mountain of Heaven is as vast as the sea, no matter how frantically they draw upon it, it forms layers upon layers of holy light barriers.

But how could two true gods of faith, relying on their beliefs, withstand the power of a war god who lives for battle and whose ultimate goal is destruction, who unleashes the power of their own self-destruction?

This power is so great that it can even temporarily shake the will of the spirit realm.

[And what about those who worship the same true God?]

That destructive energy, like billions of stars, instantly collapsed and then expanded wildly within Wang Meng's divine body.

The chain reaction at the rule level directly severed the divine fire link of the Lord of Holy Light, melting through His core divine essence that symbolized eternity.

[Buzzing sound!!!]

[At the very moment when this annihilating energy swept across the eight directions, distorting and devouring even space itself, the twelve divine military weapons that had been lurking at the edge of the battlefield were unleashed.]

[That pinnacle creation, a fusion of extraordinary technology and the mighty power of rules, simultaneously unleashed a deathly light from its menacing cannon muzzle, powerful enough to scorch the stars.]

[Sixty torrents of energy, embodying the highest wisdom and ruthless will of the Red Heart Society, rapidly took shape after being brewing for some time.]

Each strike contained the terrifying power of a third-tier true god's full-force attack, instantly transcending spatial barriers and striking the central area formed by Wang Meng's self-destruction with perfect precision.

[Boom!]

An even more violent and chaotic storm of destruction has been unleashed.

[The destructive turbulence formed by the self-destruction of the God of War, powerful enough to tear apart divine essences, intertwined, annihilated, and then erupted again with the energy torrents of the sixty God-Slaying Spears.]

[An absolute black singularity, capable of swallowing light, instantly expanded, brutally tearing and crushing everything within billions of miles of it—matter, energy, and even the rules themselves.]

The gods' probing thoughts were like striking an invisible wall of destruction, instantly incinerated.

At the heart of that destructive storm, where even the concepts of time and space were blurred, the Holy Light Lord's divine body, enveloped in an aura of ultimate benevolence, melted away completely like thin ice under the scorching sun, without even uttering a mournful cry.

The divine fire has been extinguished!

[The divine essence disintegrated into countless shimmering fragments!]

Lord of Holy Light!

[An ancient being within the pantheon of gods, a deity with countless followers across the myriad worlds, has fallen.]

[The Radiant Lord, most adept at defense, though not immediately destroyed, was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, much like a crystal statue struck by a heavy hammer.]

His divine fire flickered like a candle in the wind, teetering on the verge of falling.

Most fatally, wisps of combat rule power, like maggots clinging to a bone, were frantically eroding His damaged divine core, and no matter how much He mobilized His vast power of faith, He could not dispel them.

[This ancient monarch of Heaven dared not hesitate any longer. Dragging his crumbling divine body and cursed divine essence, he fled towards the heart of Heaven amidst a torrent of holy light, desperately shielded by the other monarchs of Heaven.]

The crushing defeat at the level of true gods was like a collapsing domino effect.

The Lord of Holy Light has fallen!

[The Lord of Light is critically injured and on the verge of death!]

The defensive line constructed by the Heavenly Pantheon collapsed instantly!

The Red Heart Society's battle flag, branded with a crimson heart, blazed like a wildfire of vengeance. Agris's massive lava foot shattered the outer barrier of holy light protecting the Heavenly pantheon, planting it atop a territory once considered sacred and inviolable by Heaven.

The Red Heart Society has never considered adhering to any rules with Heaven. Just as in previous timelines, when the Heavenly pantheon committed acts of extermination in the name of Holy Light, did they ever speak of reason whatsoever?
