Chapter 223 - 223: Heavenly Punishment Descends, Zhulu County’s Doomsday!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The combined annihilation power did not obliterate the Otherworldly Demon’s body. The Space Scythe kept cutting its body into pieces.

Gu Changqing didn’t even need to use the Tai Chi Diagram to settle the slaughter easily.

“You’ve slaughtered the human race for a long time. Letting you die so easily would be too kind!” Gu Changqing’s eyes were cold.

Feeling its power flowing away, the Otherworldly Demon’s eyes were filled with despair.

However, no matter how it struggled, it was useless.

“Blasphemer, you will be punished by God!”

Seeing that it was about to be obliterated, the Otherworldly Demon suddenly cursed with a fierce expression.

As its body gradually disappeared, its aura returned to the spatial vortex.

Then, the vortex immediately emitted a fluctuation that made people’s hearts palpitate.

The power of the fluctuation could even be seen with the naked eye. Even Gu Changqing was also shocked.

Although his potential index had already reached 39,986 points, he still felt a rare threat when facing the vortex’s powerful aura.

It came in endless waves that extended outward, completely different from the accumulation of power before the Otherworldly Demon’s attack.

Gu Changqing noticed something strange and subconsciously looked back at Zhulu County. Seeing that everyone was looking up at him, he made up his mind at this moment.

With a thought, he activated the divine rune power in his body with all his might.

At the same time, the white light in the spatial vortex suddenly shone brightly, so blinding that one could not open their eyes.

Gu Changqing made a prompt decision. His body floated in the air and continued to circulate divine rune power. The Tai Chi Diagram appeared and spread across Zhulu County’s sky.

As the diagram slowly rotated and expanded, he summoned the Human Skull’s shield again.

As soon as the shield appeared, it instantly expanded to an infinite size and blocked the bottom of the diagram.

However, Gu Changqing still felt that it was not enough. He flipped his wrist and the Kingdom of Death was thrown out in an instant, waiting for the next round of attacks under the shield.

“It’s really Heavenly Punishment!”

He stood in the white light, his body bursting with magnificent aura. He was like an unshakable god guarding the entire Zhulu County.

Looking at the weak humans on the ground, he transmitted his voice.

“Everyone in Zhulu County, escape immediately!”

“No, we can’t! We can’t leave you!” The humans huddled together, not believing what they had heard.

It was impossible for a powerful person like Gu Changqing to not be able to withstand the so-called Heavenly Punishment!

“However, what can we do if we stay?”

“Yeah, it’s either we will give him more trouble or he has to take care of us again!”

“Let’s leave quickly to respect him. Let’s go!”

Some people heard the determination in Gu Changqing’s words and had already turned around and ran into the county.

However, some of them had tears streaming down their faces. They sat on the ground and shook their heads desperately.

“No! If we all leave, will he be left to face it alone?”

“Since it’s a disaster for the human race, we should stand together with him to fight against Heavenly Punishment, not hide and live!”

“Don’t forget he’s the same as us. He has the same totem power we have!”

As soon as this group of people shouted, the others who were about to leave were forced to stop. They hesitated on the spot, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Chi Shu understood Gu Changqing the most. Previously, when the human warriors fought against the space beasts together with him, Gu Changqing did not say such words.

If he made such a request now, it must be the moment when he had no choice! “Everyone, listen to my order. Retreat to the forbidden area!”

Chi Shu also couldn’t bear to see him alone, but seeing his back, he still followed his words and firmly made arrangements.

People walked backward, as if they wanted to remember the last appearance of their home.

This was the land that their ancestors had protected with their blood for generations. They did not know if they would have a chance to come out again after hiding.

More people looked at Gu Changqing in the air and choked.

“Don’t lose! We believe that you won’t lose!”

“Go, go quickly!”

The white light was almost scorching hot. Gu Changqing took a look and saw that the humans in the county had not completely retreated. He immediately shouted at them to leave.

Urged by both sight and hearing, Chi Shu did not dare to delay any longer. He picked up the child closest to him and told everyone to run.

In the blink of an eye, a light beam from the Heavenly Punishment descended from the sky and smashed onto the Tai Chi Diagram with the force of a thunderbolt.

Clang! Clang!

The violent tremors caused countless spatial cracks to instantly explode.

Immediately, the Yin-Yang in the sky above Zhulu County reversed. The two dragons struggled and went in opposite directions.

Boom!

The earth trembled and cracked.

Even with Gu Changqing’s diagram, the Human Skull’s shield, and the layers of defense from the Kingdom of Death, the power of the Heavenly Punishment that dissipated after colliding with the Tai Chi Diagram was still transmitted down.

The County wall shook and collapsed, raising a cloud of dust and falling into the cracks in the ground.

The fortified houses inside were all over the place, blocking the way for people to evacuate.

Some of the ordinary humans who were fleeing in panic fainted from the shock, while others were hit by collapsed houses, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

The people who had narrowly escaped death were slightly stunned. They wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, picked up their relatives and friends who had fallen to the ground, and continued to run in the direction of the forbidden area.

Chi Shu handed the child to the person beside him and turned around with a stagger. Seeing Zhulu County in ruins before his eyes, his heart ached so much that he could not breathe.

The white light shone day and night.

Gu Changqing stood tall and straight like a mountain. He was the black tower in the white light and the light in the darkness. He was a flag that represented the human race’s will.

Chi Shu knew that he did not have the time to grieve over spring and autumn. He pulled up the injured people one by one and pointed them in the direction of the forbidden area.

After a period of chaos, the Tai Cho Diagram spun clockvvise, constantly obliterating the endless power from the Heavenly Punishment.

The Human Skull’s shield was pierced through time and time again, but it quickly regenerated every time.

Gu Changqing’s entire body was covered by a resplendent divine light. At this moment, he had already released all his divine rune power without holding back.

In the Tai Chi Diagram, the black and gray dragons let out earth-shaking roars, devouring and transforming the Heavenly Punishment’s power. However, no matter how fast they were, they could not keep up with Gu Changqing’s consumption.

The white light grew brighter and brighter, but it did not decrease. It even showed signs of becoming stronger.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing was burning with anxiety. Half of the humans in Zhulu County had not retreated into the forbidden area yet. Those who were left behind were all ordinary people.

Faced with such an earth-shattering disaster, their footsteps became heavier and heavier.

Some people simply stopped and shouted at Gu Changqing, “Please, hide in the forbidden area with us, okay?”

Gu Changqing could not retreat.

In this world, under this situation, if he retreated, how could the human race still have hope?

His sculpted face froze as he looked at them and shook his head. In the next moment, the divine light on his body erupted again.

These thousands of light rays were even more dazzling than the Heavenly Punishment’s light beams.

However, in the human race’s eyes, this was hope! This was a fire seed condensed from the divine power of the totem pillars.

Whoosh!

Above Gu Changqing’s head, the Grim Reaper, King of Hell, Human Skull, Nezha, White Tiger, Black Dragon, Qilin, Spirit Flame Phoenix, and Luo Hou descended at the same time.

They guarded in all directions. In an instant, divine light filled the air, sweeping up the aura of endless killing intent in the sky and cutting the blazing light pillar into pieces.

Gu Changqing stood in the middle, his cold and ruthless eyes filled with killing intent. All the power of his divine runes erupted at the same time, facing the powerful force from the Heavenly Punishment without surrendering at all..
