Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 233 Awakening of Divine Punishment, Sensing of Heavenly Guardians

Just as Long Haochen was caught in a tough battle.

On another battlefield, Long Kongkong was engrossed in the killing.

However, they are different from members of ordinary killing schools.

The aura emanating from him was not a blood-red killing intent.

Rather, it is a purple-gold power.

It reveals an even more terrifying will to destroy.

The Killing School can increase its power through killing.

One can also clarify one's direction through killing.

As for Long Kongkong...

The more he killed, the more he seemed to find himself again.

Scattered fragments of memory piled up in Long Kongkong's mind at this moment.

This is compounded by the backlash from the killing intent brought about by the slaughter.

But Long Kongkong had no time to care about that at the moment.

With each act of slaughter, his own power grew stronger.

Meanwhile, the weapon given to him by the School of Killing was also constantly evolving.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Long Kongkong roamed the battlefield, seemingly unmatched by any opponent.

"Let him kill. I want to see how many he can kill."

"From within the army of the undead tide, an undead leader spoke in a cold voice."

"I want to see what those murderous guys are up to."

"This has actually put us in a bit of an interesting situation."

What Long Kongkong didn't realize was...

Although his power increased rapidly through killing.

However, it seems that the undead race around them has also begun to emerge.

Resistance to his destructive power.

It was only because his killing efficiency was so high that no one noticed.

Even if he noticed it, given Long Kongkong's personality, he wouldn't think much of it.

"The power of destruction, the god of divine retribution, Austin Griffin."

"These guys from the Killing School are definitely up to no good."

The undead leader laughed and cursed.

"They actually want to escalate the war through such means."

"But this is exactly what we wanted."

"Then let him kill, the more the better!"

"This is a good opportunity to prepare in advance for the future battle against Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution."

"I'd like to see just how much this so-called God of Divine Retribution really weighs."

At this moment, the destructive power accumulating within Long Kongkong's body is growing stronger and more complete.

As the butcher's knife in his hand fell once more.

Two streams of bloody tears flowed from his eyes.

"I remember now, I remember everything! Ah!"

Memories of the past, and what happened between me and Long Haochen.

In addition, there are the memories of this life.

This completely awakened Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution.

He understood what Long Haochen had done.

Long Haochen actually wanted to use family ties and love to control Austin Griffin!

If the cultivation is indeed carried out step by step according to Long Haochen's ideas.

Perhaps Austin Griffin would accept this outcome at this point.

Unfortunately, the God of Divine Retribution has now awakened.

It was awakened by the school of killing, which watered it with blood and nourished it with the will to kill.

All of this ultimately created a powerful will to destroy.

At this moment, Austin Griffin returned to his most insane moments.

He desperately wanted to destroy everything in the world.

He doesn't believe that the relatives he has encountered in this life are the same relatives he originally cared about.

Ascending to the heavens in one step, at the moment when the god of divine retribution awakens.

Everything seemed to be trembling.

That's how it should be.

But those present at the moment were only excited to see him awaken.

After all, the god of divine retribution is not invincible.

The demon race of the past did indeed achieve this.

Or perhaps it's that Austin Griffin never succeeded in trying to destroy the world.

Although the name sounds impressive.

The so-called God of Divine Punishment is the dark side of the eternal and creator God.

But the power that Austin Griffin could possess.

It is far from comparable to the eternal and creative god, the creator god.

If I had to pinpoint a maximum level of power that Austin Griffin could achieve, it would be this:

Even gods who are not allowed to exist in the world, if they truly become stable...

He should be considered a god-king or rule-level powerhouse from other universes.

However, Austin Griffin never reached his full potential.

Destroying one or two planes does not prove his power; it only shows that his power is limited to that.

Even so, Austin Griffin was still weak when he first awakened.

At this moment, he suddenly possessed the strength of an ordinary ninth-level expert, but that was all.

"Keep filling it in for me," the undead leader said with a sinister laugh.

"I want to see what this so-called God of Divine Retribution is really capable of."

"Stop sending those cannon fodder, give him some strength."

"If he really dies here, then so be it."

In fact, the undead army and the various factions had long had a tacit understanding.

The advantage of the undead is that they can die and be resurrected repeatedly.

And the various schools of thought also need their existence as a whetstone.

But the undead are no different; who says the undead can't establish a school of thought?

The so-called border battlefield is nothing more than an experimental ground for both sides.

They constantly sent their subordinates to fight each other in order to test their own school of thought.

The potential of a school of thought is constantly stimulated by external forces.

They make up for the shortcomings in the school's system through continuous battles.

They learn from each other, engage in mutual competition, and strive for mutual advancement.

This is the true relationship between the two forces now.

However, to this day, several core schools of thought within the two forces have emerged.

They all pushed their own power systems to the limits of their time.

When faced with that divine realm that no one had ever touched before.

Even though both sides have a large number of people, they are still like blind men touching an elephant.

That is precisely why they urgently need a clear reference point.

And the god of divine retribution, Austin Griffin, was their chosen target.

His performance, his growth, and his power are all part of their research.

The biggest beneficiary was naturally the school of killing who first discovered it.

They preemptively lured Austin Griffin down the path of the killing school.

He served as a pioneer, demonstrating the future direction of the school of killing.

However, other schools of thought, both large and small, also benefited greatly from this.

Therefore, the existence of Austin Griffin was tacitly approved by all forces.

As for the so-called destruction, it's either success or death.

Without this awareness, how can we move forward?

Ten thousand years of peace have eroded the fighting spirit of the creatures on the Holy Demon Continent.

But this does not mean that these creatures lack courage.

After peace comes emptiness; only by finding a way forward can we overcome this.

Only then could they satisfy the sense of loss in their hearts, and the school of thought was the catalyst for this.

The existence of schools of thought, those reincarnated from god-level powerhouses.

They were like guiding lights, illuminating the future direction for the beings of the Holy Demon Continent.

And just as Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution, successfully awakened.

They constantly rely on repeated killings to increase their own power.

Even though it's in another dimension, it's still as Austin Griffin's half.

Haoyue's reincarnation, Long Dangdang, also sensed this power.

The two are interdependent; when one awakens, the other will naturally sense it as well.

Long Dangdang recalled all the memories from her past life.

However, compared to its predecessor, the pure and simple Haoyue.

Long Dangdang is human, with his own experiences and his own life.

This is precisely why, along with the revival of memories from past lives, they are accompanied by the resurgence of these memories.

And the sharing of power that belongs to Austin Griffin.

This left Long Dangdang feeling lost.

Just now, Sheng Cai'er also told Long Dangdang about his background.

He bears the heavy responsibility of preventing divine retribution and the destruction of the world.

However, the god of divine retribution was his younger brother.

Or perhaps it refers to his half-body, Austin Griffin.

With reincarnation, their memories merge.

Austin Griffin's memories naturally appeared in his mind as well.

After learning about his past, I finally understood why he aspired to become the chosen god.

At this moment, Dangdang was in a state of confusion, unsure whether he should stop them.

In his view, Austin Griffin did have a reason for doing so.

The two are inherently interdependent, and naturally, their ways of thinking are the same.

In addition, there is the kinship between the two in this lifetime.

This makes him more inclined to acquiesce to the other party's actions.

Neither helping nor stopping him was the best solution he could think of.

It was merely as his master and companion in his previous life.

How should he respond to Long Haochen's earnest expectations?

Looking at Long Dangdang, who was looking down, deep in thought, and caught in a dilemma.

Saint Cher patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry so much."

"Things haven't reached the point of no return yet."

"Let's consider everything after Haochen returns."

Long Dangdang shook her head silently, then said.

"My memories have returned, and it's because of him."

"He regained his memory earlier than I did."

"Now he has begun to kill incessantly."

"They're preparing to destroy the world, what should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Cai'er was taken aback.

He soon learned that Long Haochen's plan on the Holy Demon Continent had encountered problems.

The reason why the awakened God of Divine Retribution was not stopped.

It must be because Long Haochen couldn't get away at that moment.

Why can't they get away? It must be because they are being blocked by a more powerful enemy.

If that's the case, then there is no eternal presence on the throne of the God of Creation.

Is Long Haochen really capable of handling this situation?

This left Saint Cher somewhat flustered and at a loss.

Even so, she still comforted Long Dangdang.

"It's alright, Haochen has defeated Austin Griffin time and time again."

"It's the same this time, he will definitely be able to do it too, Haoyue, you have to believe in Haochen."

Long Dangdang shook his head painfully and said, "No, you don't understand!"

"I could feel his strength growing much faster than ever before."

"This doesn't make sense; it must be the people from the Killing School who did this."

"Perhaps someone did this on purpose."

Accompanied by Long Dangdang's words, the two sides sensed and responded to each other.

Long Dangdang's power was also rising continuously, and in a short time he had surpassed the ninth rank.

Upon hearing this, Saint Cher's pupils constricted.

She suddenly realized something terrible.

That means someone is deliberately cultivating a god of divine retribution.

What are they trying to do? Aren't they afraid of getting burned and bringing about their own destruction?

She had initially thought it was just the emergence of a school of thought within the Holy Temple Federation.

It's just because of the world's innovation, even if it has some impact.

It only has some impact on the Holy Demon Continent.

For her and Long Haochen, it was just a minor incident.

Only then did she realize that something was wrong.

Some people regretted leaving everything to Long Haochen.

If I were there, I might have been able to lend Long Haochen a hand.

With that thought in mind, Saint Cher decided not to wait any longer in this plane.

She was going to personally go to the Holy Demon Continent to support Long Haochen.

Watching Long Dangdang constantly suffer and struggle with her inner emotions.

Saint Cher sighed softly, and then said.

"Haoyue, you will stay in this plane."

"I know you don't want to fight Austin Griffin, your own brother."

"It's alright, I understand. I need to go find Haochen."

"Only Haochen can save the current situation."

Just as Sheng Cai'er was about to leave, she was stopped by Long Dangdang.

At this moment, Long Dangdang's eyes hardened again, and then she spoke.

"I'll go with you. I won't be a coward."

"No matter what, I need to settle this with Kong Kong."

"I am Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong's older brother."

"But at the same time, I am also Haoyue, and Long Haochen's partner."

Listening to Long Dangdang's words.

Saint Cherrie nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together!"

But wouldn't it be a bit too late to set off now?

It's important to know that Long Haochen is currently in a very difficult situation.

He had already dismantled that massive war machine into almost complete pieces.

Almost everything can already be seen hidden deep within.

The throne of the Eternal God of Creation is the core of the entire machine's driving force.

Just when this eternity and the throne of the God of Creation were within reach.

How could the leaders of the various schools of thought allow it to be achieved so easily?

The original bloody battlefield was transformed into a completely different scene in an instant.

It was boundless, with no sky, no earth, no light, and no awareness of darkness.

This space seemed like an endless void or an abyss that swallowed everything.

The war machines that were originally inside also disappeared instantly.

Instead, ten heads of various academic schools of thought were appointed.

Warrior class branch – Killing School.

Knight class branch – War School.

Assassin class branch - Peerless School.

The School of Truth, a branch of the Mage profession.

Summoner Pro Minutes - Dimensional School.

A branch of the priesthood – the theology school.

Blacksmith profession branch – the Mechanics School.

Potions Master Class Branch - Extraction School.

Alchemist profession branch – Fusion School.

Runemaster class specialization – World School.

At this moment, all schools of thought have prepared their trump cards and ultimate moves, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

My new book, "High Martial Arts: Becoming a God Starting with Semi-Datafication," is seeking support, collections, recommendations, and investment.
