Chapter 896: Six Suns Will Suffice

The fissures on Fragmented Divinity Mountain grew increasingly severe, with boulders even splitting and scattering.

Blood-red clouds, thick with sinister vitality, spewed from widening cracks, transforming into all manner of grotesque monsters.

These creatures ranged from human faces with dog bodies to tree trunks with bird heads, and even writhing masses of flesh. As they breathed in the gray bizarre mist, they swelled and grew at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of these sinister abominations loomed like mountains around the ruined slopes of Fragmented Divinity Mountain. Their bloodthirsty auras were twisted, emanating a crimson glow and clearly devoid of intelligence. A raw hunger to slaughter all things seemed to drive them.

It's as I thought,

Pang Lin muttered, watching from afar through the Soulstream.

Can Ye's Dao is twisted and horrifying. He's a destroyer of the natural order and harbors a deep hatred for the bizarre mist, the abysses, and the living beings within.

As if to prove Pang Lin's words, a boundless hatred spread throughout the bizarre mist.

When Pang Jian glanced back at the God of the Spirit Race, he saw that a reflection had appeared in the depths of the pool where Can Ye stood.

The reflection showed an uncanny creature with features from many different races. The reflected figure was tall and slender, with several pairs of pitch-black wings extending from its back like razor-sharp obsidian blades.

Its skin was covered in a mix of silver, black, purple, and blue scales. Grotesque images of Demon Gods appeared on those scales, alongside black lotuses, divine artifacts, mountains, rivers, and other strange visions.

Pang Jian felt as if that reflection in the pool had refined the worlds of many races onto its scales and had turned itself into an entire universe. The scales themselves appeared to contain countless small worlds within that universe.

Hatred, rage, and a will to annihilate all life radiated outward from the reflection in the water.

Can Ye's divine domain was one that was filled with wildly twisted laws.

"Divine domain!"

"For his divine domain to look like that, it's as if he exists purely for slaughter and destruction!"

"Lord Can Ye, we—"

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The fleeing Gods paled with terror when they glimpsed the strange realm reflected in Can Ye's pool.

Their Divine Personas suffered a violent shock. Every God who had ever stayed on Fragmented Divinity Mountain found their Divine Personas filled with cracks, just like the mountain itself.

"Damn it! He used the power of Fragmented Divinity Mountain to secretly taint our Divine Personas!"

By now, the panicked Gods all understood that the overseer of Fragmented Divinity Mountain had always intended to betray and murder them.

"You're all destined to perish in this era anyway." Can Ye snorted coldly. Moving the pool to the very top of Fragmented Divinity Mountain, he emotionlessly waved his hand and uttered a single word, "Die."

Can Ye's face, eyes, and even his body language radiated an intense weariness. It was as if the very existence of Gods, living beings, the starry skies, the bizarre mist, and the laws of the universe filled him with a deep, abiding exhaustion.

The aura he released affected everyone present, even the bizarre mist.

A twisted force of self-destruction washed over Pang Jian, trying to seduce him into shattering his Divine Persona and stepping onto the path toward death.

His Dao is similar to that of Heretical God Du Ling, only more extreme and unnatural,

Pang Lin observed in surprise, having not remembered much about him from her previous life aside from his loyalty to Ling Yun.

Back then, Can Ye's cultivation realm had been much weaker, which was why he had never caught her attention.

However, after years of quiet cultivation, the level of combat prowess and cultivation of this former subordinate of Ling Yun brought shivers down her spine.

Brother, be careful. He's likely not any weaker than Ling Yun after resurrecting.

I know,

Pang Jian assured.

I can feel it.

Pang Jian's physical body stepped out from the God King's skull and into the bizarre mist. Wave after wave of sinister power crashed against him, but his golden Divine Persona did not show even the slightest crack.

Visible streams of sinister power transformed into silver, black, purple, and blue lightning that lashed at Pang Jian's golden Divine Persona like whips.

"Crack! Shatter! Break!" Can Ye's vicious words boomed through Pang Jian's sea of consciousness like thunder.

The reflection in the pool also quietly appeared in his sea of consciousness, with an ancient cyan city behind it.

Pang Jian coldly snorted. "The Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis."

"That's right. The Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis exists as a physical object, but it can also invade an opponent's mind in the form of an illusory city."

A monstrous Can Ye, covered in scales and with several pairs of black blade-like wings protruding from his back, stood atop that illusory cyan city like a supreme being holding the power of life and death over all beings.

Dense strands of flesh emerged from the illusory cyan city, writhing like giant dragons and pythons.

It was a sinister Dao of flesh and blood—a twisted variant of the Dao of Life that had been mixed with destruction and death. Pang Jian had never encountered a Dao like this before.

"The supreme will of the bizarre mist created Lord Ling Yun and me as two sides of one blade: one righteous and one evil.

"The righteous Lord Ling Yun shone dazzling in the starry skies, but in the end, he was met with death and annihilation.

"I embraced the twisted and evil, only achieving my strength some years after him. My greatest regret is being unable to join him in waging war against the starry skies!

"If only he had not been so hasty. I wish he had waited a few more years for me to perfect myself and forge a brand new body."

This twisted version of Can Ye let out a long sigh.

The fleeing Gods around Fragmented Divinity Mountain were all dead by the time he finished speaking.

Their Divine Personas had been shattered, their limbs and flesh either devoured by the grotesque creatures or dragged into the depths of Fragmented Divinity Mountain, reduced to nourishment for the real Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis.

After gorging themselves, the abominations fused into the mountain, sealing its cracked fissures and transforming into its claws, arms, scales, and internal organs. The cracked Fragmented Divinity Mountain thus became a horrifying, stitched-together monstrosity.

A twisted aura, far more terrifying than the murky energy in the Abyss, spread outward through this living Fragmented Divinity Mountain.

"Yuan Yi of the Fey Race, the strongest high-ranking God in the bizarre mist? What a joke," Can Ye sneered.

The monstrous version of him launched an assault on Pang Jian's golden Divine Persona using the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis in his sea of consciousness.

The twisted power from outside seeped into the illusory Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis, fueling its power.

"Lord Ling Yun mentioned your connection to the mysterious Soulstream of the Nether Abyss. Your divine soul is incredibly profound and intricate.

"But so what? You haven't had enough time to grow. Your foundation is terribly shallow. You can't possibly withstand a fully charged blow from me.

"Pang—"

Can Ye's expression changed dramatically.

The two blazing suns in the eye sockets of the God King's skull vanished. The many radiant suns inside the Ruin Realm itself also disappeared.

Meanwhile, in Pang Jian's sea of consciousness, six scorching suns appeared above his golden Divine Persona.

"I don't have nine suns yet, but six are more than enough to deal with you, Can Ye.

"Nine Suns Strike the Heavens!"

The six blazing suns plummeted toward the cyan city, releasing torrents of fire and light that rained down upon it with crushing force. The massive clusters of writhing flesh were set ablaze under the suns' radiance, turning to charred remains before the suns even collided.

The six fiery suns reduced the sinister branches of the Dao of Life within that illusory Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis to ashes.

Above the illusory sanctum, Can Ye could feel the supreme solar radiance that once belonged to God King Yan Hao. As he raised his head to watch the suns descend, he could almost see the majestic figure of that God King striking at the heavens.

"God King Yan Hao! A being who once waged war on the bizarre mist. How could someone like you understand his lingering divine power?

"It's him! He always despised the two of us! I hate him!" Can Ye howled.

At the same time, one of the falling suns struck the illusory cyan city with a thunderous crash.
