Chapter 261 The Blade of Ascension

"You can always use your experience and thinking to find tactics to defeat enemies stronger than yourself."

“Even in the worst-case scenario, you can borrow Miss Ella’s divine power, or even simply call upon Miss Ella to turn the tide.”

"This often leads to ultimate victory, but in doing so, you also lose the opportunity to unleash your full potential..."

Miss Dream Goddess's voice seemed to have ended there; those were the words she had spoken to herself long ago during her training in a dream.

But just as Ye Xiao thought this, a very faint sound followed.

"So, why don't you give it a try and stop thinking about it so much?"

"Go all in, gamble everything."

"It's not because you can rely on Ella to cover for you..."

"Simply because you are Ye Xiao."

……what?

Did the Dream God say these words again later?

Ye Xiao was suddenly stunned, and her fading consciousness gradually returned to clarity, like wild geese returning to their nests.

The roar of Mother Earth still echoed, her body smashed to pieces, with only a stubborn ray of holy light still trying to repair her broken limbs.

He didn't notice that a small cloth bag had rolled out of his tattered pocket.

The cloud that was originally inside had vanished without a trace, leaving only tattered cloth that gradually turned to ashes in the flames.

Ye Xiao clenched his fist gently, and the last bit of holy light dissipated after repairing his body.

Yes……

Why should I worry about whether I can do it or not?

Is it wrong just because it's a remnant soul?

Because it's a soul that was cut from him... does that mean I'm destined to be deprived of the right to pursue wholeness?

Ye Xiao still couldn't figure out the problem, but at this moment, an unnamed anger seemed to suddenly burn in his chest.

The Earth Mother's arm was already close in mid-air, and the fist, wrapped in lava and glaciers, would shatter his soul in the next moment.

"Empty shell, you're doomed!!!"

But in that instant, countless invisible lines suddenly burst forth from the sinkhole.

They are like plucked strings, producing ethereal melodies that echo underground; like a silent wind that blows across thousands of attacking giant arms in an instant.

Time itself seemed to freeze in that instant.

"Are you kidding..."

"The one who rides on the horse..."

Ye Xiao's voice came from the sinkhole where lava and glaciers were rolling, filled with uncontrollable anger, just like the lava hidden beneath the volcano, about to erupt violently.

"wrong!?"

On the other side, the enormous face formed from flowing thermonuclear energy showed fear for the first time in this battle.

"How can this be!?"

Those burning, unfathomable eyes seemed to see, in that instant, a figure that should have been lost in the shattered era.

“You’re just an empty shell, how could you possibly…”

"How could you possibly master his laws?!"

As soon as the words fell, in the vast, hollowed-out center of the earth, the thousands of arms raised by the god of the earth shattered into countless fragments at the same moment.

It was as if, in that instant, countless invisible blades shattered everything in sight.

The flowing lava, glaciers, deep rock layers, and boundless crust are all marked with countless knife marks, like cracks in a grid that break apart in space.

"Gaia."

The ashes from the shattered arms fell like raindrops, and the flames from the collapsing lava illuminated the slightly upturned corners of his mouth beneath his disheveled bangs.

"I have to thank you."

Ye Xiao clenched his fist, and countless slashing lines, powerful enough to pierce through the laws of nature, swirled around his arm.

"Without your careful guidance, I might still think that level must be incredibly high and unattainable."

"And as a token of my gratitude, Mother Earth... I will now tell you all about it—"

"So what if he's a remnant soul? He can still do..."

"I can do it too!!!!!!!!!"

"Roar--!!!"

At the same time, along with Ye Xiao's roar, Gaia's face also emitted a deafening roar.

The entire earth trembled violently, and the divine arm formed from molten lava and glaciers grew directly from her fiery core.

That is the divine power of Mother Earth, capable of moving mountains and rivers since time immemorial, shaping countless landscapes, and laying the foundation for the world.

Compared to that colossal creature, Ye Xiao's swooping figure was like a tiny speck of dust.

But then, a beam of white light suddenly pierced the darkness, tearing the vast, boundless battlefield in the Earth's core in two, like a burning scroll.

"bass--"

The giant arm that Mother Earth raised in anger was cleaved in two by this white light.

The wind generated by his rapid descent ruffled Ye Xiao's messy hair. He used his palm as a knife, effortlessly circulating the laws to slice through the layers of rock fists, like ethereal starlight falling from the sky, meeting the ferocious roar of Mother Earth's face.

"How can this be!!!"

"How is this possible?!"

The surging lava was her last struggle; the frantically summoned rocky cliffs, giant arms, and glaciers could no longer withstand the combined force of Ye Xiao descending against the wind.

The mother goddess who once ruled over the entire land now cried out in fear like a helpless child. Even though she waved her hands with all her might, she could no longer stop the blood-soaked man from getting close.

Then, a blade of light powerful enough to cleave the earth's core descended from the sky, splitting the deep underground in two.

Ye Xiao actually used his bare hands to cleave the enormous, pulsating, crimson core of the earth in two.

Gaia's face, shattered in two, froze. Her empty eyes, formed from swirling lava, seemed unable to comprehend, even in death, why she had lost.

"Why……?"

In the beginning, and in the end, the Earth God left behind an unanswered dying message, which transformed into a whisper in the netherworld and echoes eternally beneath the vast, sunless earth.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the thermonuclear blast exploded violently, and the unrestrained divine power of magma and glaciers erupted instantly.

An almost inexhaustible amount of energy was released from the earth, and the earth-shattering roar resounded across all the continents of the world.

That was the earth's lament for its mother's passing.

Above the ground, rock layers collapsed, mountains crumbled, and gushing hot lava turned the shattered and collapsed boundless land into a sea of ​​fire.

"Gaia... has fallen?"

Adam, struggling to avoid the pale tentacles, looked up at the earth in disbelief.

This is a primordial god, an being who has held the initial laws since the birth of the world.

Ella Hayville was clearly still fighting him, so could it be that the empty shell of a puppet killed Gaia?

But that guy isn't even a complete human being, is he?

Adam couldn't understand, but the countless tendrils of holy light that followed his flying figure left him no time to think about it.

This is infuriating... I don't know if she's a saint or a witch, how did she manage to give the holy light such a disgusting attack method??

He cleaved through the pale tentacles that filled the sky with a single sword stroke, and looked solemnly at the silver-haired girl who was gradually rising into the heavens with the white lotus.

Chapter 262 Reversing the Starry Sky

"Your lover seems to be failing you."

Ella smiled sweetly, and strands of silver light fell on the ends of her hair, making her look as if she were draped in the Milky Way from the heavens.

But in contrast to its sanctity, the pale tentacles wriggling around its body gradually sprouted countless golden pupils, like dense holes on a coral reef, making one feel uneasy at first glance.

Pure white tendrils of holy light transformed into a giant cocoon that enveloped the sky. Adam, fluttering within it, was like a caged bird, and even the vast stars above paled in comparison to the holy light.

"What are these things??"

Someone of Adam's high rank is more likely to perceive that certain properties within these seemingly beautiful and dreamlike halos are changing.

This is far more than simply changing the shape of holy light. Cutting a piece of wood into a square or a circle can be called changing its appearance, but what's the big deal about eyes growing out of the wood?

Adam attempted to weave a sacred barrier around himself with the "eclipse of sin," rejecting everything. However, the spell floating in the sky gradually decomposed into wriggling maggots under the illumination of the spreading pure light.

The death spurt of the "signs of impending death" slashed at those clustered tentacles, yet these creatures, which clearly appeared to be alive, had not actually fallen into a state of death.

Even the holy light has phases of shining and extinguishing. How could there be anything in this world that has no past or future, nor existence or decay?

Or perhaps... all the states of these tentacles are actually intertwined?

Adam swallowed hard. The laws he wielded were twisted into bizarre shapes under the erosion of the other party's holy light. Even the summoned stars grew beady eyes of varying sizes under the holy shroud, glaring angrily and lunging at him.

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

Adam used his sword to cut down the returning meteorites. Even as they were shattered into pieces, these large rocks emitted strange "ee-yah-yah" laughter as they were being crushed to pieces.

This cannot continue.

Bathed in soft, diffused light, Adam could feel subtle changes occurring within his body.

The pale barrier in the sky was slowly closing, but the despicable Ella Havies deliberately avoided getting close, instead quietly staying at a distance and manipulating her tentacles to attack.

This made it difficult for Adam to use his powerful laws. His ranged divine spells were transformed into inexplicable objects as soon as they were used within this barrier, while close-range spells were blocked by countless tentacles.

If this continues, once the barrier closes, he will become a sitting duck, and sooner or later he will be completely corrupted by the strange holy light summoned by the other party.

Damn it, even Adam himself found the idea absurd when it popped into his head—how could the Holy Light be associated with corruption?

But the truth is, these seemingly sacred radiances are indeed gradually polluting everything about him, just like radiation.

His armor even began to show pale white spots, which looked like unsettling holes made by insects.

"Ella Havil, you inherited the power of light, yet in the end, all you can do is resort to such despicable means!?"

“I only promised the old man of light that I would win, but I didn’t agree on how to win.”

Ella elegantly shrugged, "Anyway, no one will see it. In the future, I can just embellish how you died in the history books. Does anyone still question me?"

"damn it!"

Adam felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at the cocoon of holy light that was about to close, then suddenly flapped his seven wings and shot out like a meteor.

"Oh, so you know to run now?"

The girl smiled sweetly, and with a flick of her finger, countless shimmering golden tentacles sprouted from the horizon like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

They swarmed towards Adam like a tidal wave, their heads throbbing as they spewed out large swaths of liquid holy light like slugs.

These golden liquids converged into a waterfall flowing upstream, like a golden tsunami about to engulf Adam's tiny figure.

Although the scene was made even more beautiful and sacred by the countless glittering golden dust, Adam, who was about to be engulfed by it, did not appreciate its magnificent elegance at all.

He knew that touching these things would definitely not be a good thing, so he swung his sword head-on and easily cut through the overflowing golden river.

The bronze sword, named the Time Void Mark, cleaved a chasm in time, causing the liquid in a straight line to freeze. But this was not the end. In that brief moment of delay, countless enormous tentacles rose from the ground, instantly surrounding Adam from all directions like gathered flower petals.

This was actually the real killing move. The gap in the Pale Cocoon was actually a trap left by Ella. The numerous tentacles that had been buried in the ground were waiting to launch an attack when Adam tried to break through.

While slowly wearing Adam down is an option, if there are more efficient methods, why not use them?

However, Adam, though surrounded in that instant, did not show the slightest sign of panic; instead, a smile suddenly flashed across his lips.

"Stars...reverse the order here!!!"

He chanted obscure incantations, and in an instant, the previously dim starry sky phantom under the pale barrier suddenly lit up again.
