Against the Gods

In a daze, Sha Xing had already arrived at the Star-Moon Thousand Machines Tower.

He looked up, looking at the overlapping and shining stars and moonlight, recalling the scene when he and Xian Yue worked together to climb the tower, and laughed at each other every time they climbed a level, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

He remained silent for a long time. Just when he finally came to his senses and was about to leave, two Star God disciples walked out of the tower, supporting each other. They were soaked in sweat and covered with scars, but their faces were full of excitement, and it was obvious that they had made a breakthrough.

"Just now, I seem to have heard the disciples guarding the tower talking about how the Moon God Son climbed the tower alone after his breakthrough this time, and he has already broken through the 50th floor by his own strength."

"As expected of the Moon God Son. Unfortunately... It seems that the Star God Son has never set foot in the Thousand Machine Tower in the past six months. Junior brother, do you think that the Star God Son is really as rumored... half-wasted?"

"Not half-wasted, but the Abyss Eclipse has entered the Xuanmai. Unless the part of the Xuanmai that has been eroded is removed, even if the Supreme Abyss Emperor comes in person, there is nothing he can do. But the Star God Son has never been willing to accept his fate, and has been struggling to find a way to perfectly dispel the Abyss Eclipse... Alas."

"In fact, according to the brothers and sisters on the Moon God side, the Moon God Son's pain is no less than that of the Star God Son. The Moon God Son could have broken through three months ago, but he had been suppressing it tightly, fearing that he would stimulate the Star God Son, until the Xuan Qi was on the verge of losing control under the strong pressure, and then he had to break through."

Xingsha, who had been listening coldly, slowly clenched his palms.

"Star God Son and Moon God Son grew up together and became God Sons together. Although they are not blood brothers, their deep feelings are beyond the imagination of outsiders. Now it seems that after Star God Son is completely hopeless, he will eventually choose to cut off part of his profound veins, and Moon God Son will definitely deliberately slow down his own progress for him..."

"If it is just like this, it will be fine, but if Star God Son with incomplete profound veins becomes a God Lord in the future, wouldn't it be... an incomplete God Lord?"

"In addition, the inheritance of the power of the stars and the moon must be carried out at the same time, and the recipients must reach a sufficient fit. Even if the Star God Son with incomplete profound veins still maintains the same cultivation as the Moon God Son, can it really be called a perfect fit?"

The two talked with doubts and worries, and their words undoubtedly represented the voices of the Star and Moon Divine Kingdom that they dared not say openly.

"By the way," the voice suddenly became quieter, and the person who spoke also glanced around vigilantly: "I heard from my uncle that the Star God lineage in the northern border gave birth to a male baby with eight points of innate godhood... just six days ago."

"What? Wait, if this is true, how could there be no movement?"

"Because the Star God said that this matter cannot be made public! The reason I know is that my uncle happened to be by the side when the son of the Star God was born."

"The Star God asked this matter to be kept secret, which means... he went to see the newborn child with his own eyes?"

"So my uncle said that the Star God lineage might change, so I should pay attention to it recently. I only told you about this, you'd better..."

His voice suddenly became lighter, because they felt the sudden approaching chill behind them.

The two turned their heads at the same time, and were shocked to meet the cold eyes of the crescent moon.

"Yue... Yue Shenzi." The two bodies tensed, and their hearts and souls palpitated.

The shadow of the moon flashed, and Xianyue was already standing in front of the two people, but her cold moon-like eyes were as cold as a blade piercing the heart: "Listen, I don't care whether what you said just now is true or false, remember one thing, as long as I am Xianyue, the Star God Son can only be Shaxing! Others, even if it is a perfect star god son sent from the sky, I will not recognize it!"

"Don't let me hear any nonsense about the Star God Son. Otherwise... you don't want to know what I look like when I am angry!"

"Yue... Moon God Son, calm down, the two of us just blurted out... nonsense, and we dare not have any disrespect..."

"Get out!"

The two were silent, not daring to say another word, and left in a hurry.

Xianyue stood there, and the coldness in his eyes slowly dissipated after a long time, and finally turned into a long sigh.

When he turned around, he vaguely sensed something, turned his head suddenly, and immediately met Shaxing's eyes.

His eyes were slightly confused, but then they calmed down again. He flew up and came to Sha Xing, smiling, "I let these two blind people go on my own initiative. Because I believe you won't take their words to heart."

"Congratulations on your breakthrough." Sha Xing also smiled back.

Xianyue's expression did not change, and she was still smiling: "This time, I took the lead. But I believe that after you break the Abyss Eclipse, the breakthrough will only be a matter of days."

Shaxing looked into his eyes: "Do you also think that I should let go of my obsession and break the Abyss Eclipse?"

Xianyue asked back: "If it was me who went to check the corpse of the Abyss Beast half a year ago instead of you, then I would be in this situation. If I end the Abyss Eclipse and cause the Mysterious Veins to be permanently missing, will you give up on me?"

Shaxing was slightly moved, and he said without hesitation: "No."

"Then would you be willing to slow down and delay your own progress, and drag a heavy me?"

"Yes."

"Then will you be resentful about this?"

"...No."

"So..." Xianyue's smile was particularly happy: "What are you worried about, hesitating about and hesitating about? Our fit is not just superficial cultivation, aura and posture, but also about sharing weal and woe, honor and disgrace."

He grabbed Shaxing's wrist, and every word came from his heart: "This catastrophe is just the first slightly bigger test we have experienced together. How can our compatibility that has exceeded a thousand years be defeated by this small test."

"In addition, I have also thought about it. If your Xuanmai is damaged, it will cause us to be unable to achieve the same compatibility and synchronization as before, and unable to become the Xingyue Twins as before. Then, I will choose to damage my own Xuanmai until I can reunite with you! I believe that if it were you, you would make the same choice."

Seeing that Xianyue was clearly determined to retreat and sacrifice herself, but she had to keep changing her position for fear of hurting his dignity... He felt one point of warmth in his heart, but nine points of indescribable discomfort.

"Hahaha!" Shaxing laughed loudly: "Xianyue, we have known each other for so many years, you underestimate me too much. Even if the Abyss Eclipse is cut off, it will only damage the Xuanmai by at most 10%. This degree is worthy of my heart breaking?"

He pinched Xianyue's wrist, squeezed it hard for a while and then let go, turned around and said: "It's just that people always have fantasies, always thinking that what others can't do, they may not be unable to do. So... give me another three months. If after three months, I still haven't found a way to purify the Abyss Eclipse, then just cut it off."

"After that, the worst that can happen is that I will be dragged behind you all the time. Anyway, if it's you, I won't feel guilty at all."

"Okay!" Xianyue smiled and nodded: "It's a deal!"

Xianyue left, and waited until his figure disappeared from sight. Shaxing's originally arrogant and fearless expression instantly cracked.

He turned around abruptly, and his teeth trembled as he bit them tightly.

"I... can be disabled. But... how can I... become a burden to you!"

He looked into the distance, his eyes suddenly became more determined than ever before.

There, is the fog sea.

Without telling anyone, he avoided the breath of others as much as possible, stepped out of the divine domain alone, stepped out of the country...

"I need to be alone to calm down, don't follow me anymore!"

Outside the country, he said coldly.

The figure who had always been guarding him did not leave.

He smiled coldly: "What? Seeing me in such a state of desolation, even you don't listen to me?"

The figure in the dark sighed and could only retreat helplessly.

However, after several hours...several days, he did not wait for the return of Shaxing.

When he was looking for it, he could not find the breath of Shaxing in the boundless world.

...

The gray fog sea was full of the breath of death.

This was the first time that Shaxing entered the fog sea alone, and it was also the first time in his life that he was rebellious.

Just for that ray of hope...the only hope.

He avoided the mysterious people and the abyss beasts, and finally, he came to the place that had trapped him in nightmares half a year ago.

The scene of that day came to him like a nightmare, he gritted his teeth and continued to go deeper... As the concentration of the abyss dust continued to increase, the aura of the mysterious people he could sense became less and less, until there was no one else in his perception.

He stopped, his chest rose and fell, and finally let out a trembling roar: "Star Moon God Son Shaxing, please see the Mist Emperor!"

He knew that every day there were countless people suffering from the abyss erosion in the fog sea begging for the grace of the Mist Emperor, but the hope was endless and slim; he also heard that the Mist Emperor was everywhere in the fog sea, and every grain of abyss dust was his ears and eyes.

So, he shouted out the name of his own son of God. If the Mist Emperor was really everywhere in the fog sea, at least, this was a special enough identity to attract the attention of the Mist Emperor.

However, his shouting did not call for the arrival of the Mist Emperor, but startled a large number of abyss beasts.

Continuous roars came from the deep abyss fog. Sha Xing frowned, and the heavy sword appeared in his hand. The power of the Star God instantly flowed through his body.

However, when the Abyss Beast rushed over with a terrifying breath, the coldness in his eyes suddenly turned into fear.

God-destroying Realm... Level 5 Abyss Beast!

And there were three of them!

He swung the heavy sword, and the Heavenly Wolf roared angrily, but it also alarmed the Abyss Eclipse trapped in the Xuanmai. The severe pain pierced his nerves, and the obstruction of the Xuanqi distorted his sword momentum, causing him to be injured in an instant when he was already at an absolute disadvantage.

Snap!

Before the Wild Fang was swung, the heavy sword was shaken away, and the beast claws flashing with dim light tore his Star God power and his chest.

The power of the abyss brutally erupted in his body. Sha Xing stepped on the broken shadow of the Star God and moved with difficulty, but before he could stand still, the other two Abyss Beasts had already rushed over, and the interlaced beast claws cut out eight terrifying and incomparable ghost marks.

Blood burst out between his teeth, and he roared violently. The shadow of the Heavenly Wolf on his body also roared violently. The fifth sword of the Heavenly Wolf, the Wolf Claw, rushed forward with a resolute momentum.

Boom——

The bursting power of the Heavenly Wolf was torn apart by the overly powerful power of the Abyss. The two God-Destroying Abyss Beasts were slightly repelled, but Sha Xing's arms and chest suddenly had several blood grooves deep enough to see the bones... and he could no longer resist the power of the third Abyss Beast, and was hit in the heart by a claw.

The heavy sword left his hand, and his body flew out with blood.

Even if he had not been eroded by the Abyss, he could not be the enemy of any of them in his prime, let alone three.

Before he fell, he was once again swept into the storm of the Abyss. The primitive destructive instinct and the pure destructive power fell on him without any hesitation or mercy, making the Son of the Star God like a dead leaf without branches, cruelly destroyed by the dense and chaotic storm of destruction. In the blink of an eye, he was covered with scars and countless blood.

Bang!

He fell heavily to the ground. When he subconsciously wanted to get up, he found that his legs were broken. The upper body that he had struggled to support was crushed by the claws of a sudden abyss beast, causing his head to hit the ground heavily, and his internal organs were shattered inch by inch under the huge force.

Shaxing's eyes were wide open, and he refused to accept his fate, but his injuries were too serious. The starlight in his eyes quickly lost its color and gradually merged into the grayness of the sea of ​​fog.

I... How can I... die here...

He tried his best to struggle, but his consciousness turned pale little by little, and then to nothingness...

At the moment when his consciousness was completely silent, the three violent abyss beasts suddenly stopped attacking, then slowly retreated, and returned to complete silence at the same time.

In the darkness, a shadow wrapped in thick abyss dust walked out slowly and stood in front of Shaxing.

He raised his hand, and the abyss dust in the surrounding space was swept by a storm, quickly condensing towards his palm until it condensed into a narrow black line.

"Welcome to join the Sea of ​​Mist, honorable... Son of the Abyssal Ghost God!"

As he murmured, the long black mark was mercilessly inserted into the center of Shaxing's brow.
