Chapter 710 - An Endless Crusade, Farewell(1)

Boom!

Three black streams made of Humanity's Malice broke free of the silver Golem's huge body and plunged into the three Gates of Heaven like thick serpents. Xiadu had been the one to open the Gates of Heaven, but it had only helped Cassius use them without any effort.

When the three black streams poured into the three seas of origin, they trembled violently and produced a strange sight. It was like dropping ink into clear water. The ink would quickly spread through the transparent sea. However, instead of continuing to stain the seas, Humanity's Malice ignited them! The three seas of origin already contained human malice, and Cassius merely awakened it, like lighting the fuse of a bomb!

Boom!

An indescribable change occurred as the Gates of Heaven began to move on their own, slowly positioning themselves around Cassius. The Gate of Physique perched on his left shoulder, the Gate of Qi on his right, and the Gate of Soul floated above his head.

Suddenly...

Bang, bang, bang!

Three earth-shaking blasts rang out in the skies. Three enormous black eyes filled the entire opening of the Gates of Heaven. It was eerie and horrifying but on closer look, they were enlarged human pupils!

Behind Cassius floated three malicious eyes, also called "Heaven's Eyes".

Thump! Thump!

The Golem strode forward, and the three Gates of Heaven followed him. The three Heaven's Eyes rotated, obeying Cassius's Will entirely like his own external eyes.

In fact, these eyes possessed a conceptual power called Humanity's Malice. Simply put, it could not be used against humanity itself. However, it could target or destroy anything that tried to or had the potential to harm humanity as a whole. In contrast, the concept of calamity was disaster and misfortune, bringing devastating damage again and again!

If both affected humanity, they stood as perfectly matched opposites! When Humanity's Malice and calamity meet, it would inevitably be an eternal battle!

The enormous forest of black hands formed by the calamity tide was devoured strangely. Wherever the Golem passed, the three Heaven's Eyes swept across and sealed massive amounts of calamity into their pupils. Every glance absorbed a portion of the calamity tide. Calamity itself seemed to sense something and instinctively receded. The outlines of the calamity tide in the sky started to blur.

At this moment, Cassius decisively used the Ao Yin runes; the five keystone runes that were the seeds of the Ao Yin civilization!

𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

In ancient times, the three Southern Dipper Holy Fists and Southern Cross Holy Fist had used the Ao Yin runes to separate Xiadu from calamity.

The Rune of Spirit, the Rune of Fear, the Rune of Nature, the Rune of Life, and the Rune of Death instantly lit up with dazzling brilliance on Cassius's Golem body. The five Ao Yin powers descended, shrouding Xiadu's corpse. Its formless Will was stripped and gradually extracted.

Cassius grabbed its Will in one hand and resolutely bound it to his supreme Golem body. A black blazing sun symbol resembling a deep well appeared on the Golem's chestplate. At the same time, the five different Ao Yin runes on his hands, shoulders, and chest extruded mysterious chains that forcibly sealed the black sun!

Cassius gazed into the heavens. The calamity tide that had originally faded like watercolor dissolving in water was gradually growing more clear. A rift opened in the sky and calamity poured down again like spilled mercury. It turned into enormous demonic hands grasping at Cassius.

Xiadu's Will was the most integral part of the calamity. Once Xiadu fell, the instinctive rules of calamity would relentlessly rush toward its Will to perfect the concept.

However, since Xiadu's Will had been forcibly sealed within Cassius by the five Ao Yin runes, calamity could only free it by crushing Cassius's body. However, Cassius, who was now the God of Covert Martial Arts, did not fear calamity!

In fact, he wanted calamity to come toward him! Then he would use the concept of Humanity's Malice from the Gates of Heaven to absorb and seal it wave after wave, creating a strange balance. The process would be long but also unshakably firm.

At the moment, Cassius had the confidence to end calamity! It was just a matter of time...

A colossal Golem stood in front of the rift between the two realms. Endless gigantic hands of calamity clawed madly at Cassius from the surrounding skies and within the rift, yet they were all sealed by the sweeping gaze of Heaven's Eyes.

Whoosh...

Before long, a swift figure darted across the sky toward him.

Tap.

Blood Vulture Dominator Fist landed, staring at the distant Golem.

"Cassius, you've done it! You killed Xiadu and sealed the Well of Sin and Judgment Day!"

Blood Vulture's aged face trembled with excitement. His gaze toward Cassius was deeply complex; his eyes were moist as if tears might fall at any moment. Xiadu, whom even White Bird Holy Fist could not defeat, had at last been utterly destroyed by the Southern Dipper's heir!

A rumbling voice came from beneath Cassius's iron mask. "It's not over yet, Blood Vulture... After Xiadu, there's still the concept of Calamity. We must also end calamity completely before we can say we won! Otherwise, darkness will always risk returning..."

"You mean...?" Blood Vulture Dominator looked gravely at Cassius's massive body.

The Golem slowly turned, gazing at the sky above the Hongli Federation. "Next, I'll enter the World of Calamity and end the source of darkness once and for all! Calamity will inevitably be defeated and sealed by Humanity's Malice. However... It may take a very long time.

"Blood Vulture, my Golem Sect, I leave it to you... I... shall return!"

The towering Golem charged resolutely into the rift between the two realms. The three Gates of Heaven followed it, flying inside.

The tides of calamity surged in after him like an ocean. In the surface world, the environment once polluted by Xiadu's release of calamity was now wholly drained as the tide followed Cassius back into the World of Calamity.

Rumble...

The altar collapsed, and the rift between realms sealed shut.

Whoosh...

A breeze swept across the plain, brushing Blood Vulture Dominator's face. His crimson hair danced wildly, while his aged face brimmed with mixed emotions.

He gazed at the spot where Cassius had entered the World of Calamity and whispered softly, "Rest assured, the Golem Sect is safe with me."

Blood Vulture Dominator lowered his head, seeing the ruined land scarred with destruction. Then, he turned and looked upward at the pure blue sky with gentle clouds and beautiful bright sunlight.

He let out a long breath and slowly closed his eyes. "It's all over..."
