Chapter 208: Sunset
In a daze, Zhu Haomiao felt as if he were Sun Wukong being trapped in the Alchemy Furnace by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, being burned to the core of his soul.
Instinctively wanting to retaliate, the young man looked up at the two young girls in the sky where the sun and moon shone together, knowing he couldn't do it.
The concept of "distance" between them was distorted and altered, exceeding the physical scale and becoming an "untouchable" at the level of law.
Just like the sun and moon in the realm of reality, visible but unreachable!
Wait!
Distance!
Subconsciously, a flash of spirit light occurred in Zhu Haomiao's mind, thinking of the Flying Radiance Skill.
This was precisely a Cultivation Technique designed to counter distant enemies; could its "Star Fall" correspond to a Divine Artifact at the conceptual level?!
With a flicker in his eyes, Zhu Haomiao loosened his five fingers, and the heavy, majestic "Xuanyuan Sword" suddenly dissipated and became ethereal.
By using the Divinity seed of "Flying Brilliance·Star Fall", another Divine Artifact from the "Yanhuang Armory" responded to the young man's call.
As he raised his hand and grasped the air, a crimson, ancient bow handle appeared in his palm, extending and solidifying to both sides.
In the twinkling of an eye, a splendid crimson longbow, as tall as a person and radiating countless divine lights, appeared in Zhu Haomiao's hand.
Above the nine-layered heaven, seeing the young man draw out another Divine Artifact, Amaterasu's once calm and composed eyes could no longer maintain tranquility, trembling wildly.
She knew that the Chinese Gods had forged a terrifying "Yanhuang Armory," but even true Gods of the nine-layered heaven would typically specialize in just one Lifebound Divine Artifact.
Being able to switch and use two kinds of Divine Artifacts was already rare beyond comparison, not to mention using two simultaneously while switching through three!
Where is the pride of the National Guardian Divine Artifact?!
What about the conflict of Divinity?!!
Why could that guy pull out Divine Artifacts as if they were toys?!
More terrifyingly, she felt that the Divine Artifact in the other person's hands was innately restraining herself!
Boom!
Instinctively mobilizing energy, the golden-red flame on the ground soared into the sky, forming a flame pillar over a hundred meters high.
However, the Divine Artifact in his hand seemed naturally to counter the True Sun Fire, and although the opponent strengthened their offensive, Zhu Haomiao felt even more at ease instead.
The carbonized, blackened skin peeled off, revealing the tender pink flesh underneath, which was quickly covered by a layer of new skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As if blessed by spirit, Zhu Haomiao raised the longbow, slowly and laboriously pulling the bowstring, a white-feathered arrow appearing out of thin air, accurately set on the bowstring.
With the boy on the ground raising his bow to aim, the two young girls in the sky felt a chilling fear surge from their tailbones to their heads, an unexplainable panic flooding their minds.
That was the instinctive fear of being targeted by a Heavenly Enemy!
Buzz~
With a cool expression, Yueyejian also began to recklessly mobilize power, as the enormous "Yata Mirror" behind her released sword-like beams piercing the heaven and earth, only to be firmly blocked by the "Kunlun Mirror" floating above Zhu Haomiao.
"Sun-shooting Bow..."
Whispering the name of the Divine Artifact in his hand, Zhu Haomiao eyes locked onto the girl in the sky, his lips curling into a teasingly cruel smile.
"Heavenly Light, is it?"
Twange~
Releasing the bowstring, an almost imperceptible straight "beam" broke through the concept of distance, piercing the entire realm, instantly hitting the target.
The arrogant sun suppressing all beings suddenly shuddered, slowly extinguishing like an illusion.
Without the illumination of the Divinity projection, the supernatural daytime reverted to night, with only a bright moon remaining in the sky.
And above the nine-layered heaven, Amaterasu stiffly lowered her head, staring at the over ten-centimeter diameter opening piercing her chest, overflowing with irrepressible torrents of blood at her lips.
"Sister."
Even knowing that death in the Illusion Realm was just a mirage, Yueyejian couldn't help but let out a mournful wail.
The next second, the dignified girl wrapped in golden-red flames slowly fell, like a blazing meteor cutting through the sky, tragically plummeting toward the ground.
But with no time to mourn for her sister, Yueyejian helplessly watched as the monster on the ground pulled the bowstring again. This time, he aimed at her!
Instinctively wanting to flee, but the "Yata Mirror" and "Kunlun Mirror" were reflecting each other, with the Divinity entangled together, fixing both the enemy and herself!
In a fluster, unable to untangle their mutual entrapment, Yueyejian could only watch as the bowstring drew further and further back, sensing the shadow of death slowly enveloping her.
"This feeling... so annoying..."
Lightly biting her pink lip, Yueyejian softly complained.
The next second, an almost imperceptible fine line traversed the sky, piercing through her chest and out her back, even penetrating the enormous mirror behind her, leaving a large "black spot."
Exhale~
Watching a ethereally beautiful pure white figure fall from the sky, Zhu Haomiao exhaled a murky breath, the longbow in his hand and the bright mirror above his head gradually faded and vanished.
Boom!
The Door forcibly opened in the depths of his sea of consciousness slammed shut, finally giving his spiritual energy, essence, and spirit a chance to catch a breath.
As the power dissipated, excruciating pain flooded his soul, a sign of severe spiritual and bodily overstrain, on the verge of collapse.
But the young man did not relax, instead pushing forward with the last ounce of strength, spurring the Orochi phantom, advancing toward the place where the Three Noble Sons had fallen.
As he moved, a serpent head dipped down, picking up a severed lower half and chewing it delightfully, as if a true Demon God tasting its spoils.
While another of its heads slowly stretched toward Susano-o, whose upper body was all that remained a few dozen meters away.
Watching in horror as the terrifying maw filled with tusks engulfed himself, Susano-o held no fear in his eyes, only endless resentment and hatred.
"Beast, one day, I'll kill you! Kill you! Kill kill kill kill kill!!!"
Yet hearing his frantic, twisted threating howl, Zhu Haomiao not only didn't get angry but instead raised a gratified smile.
Even facing death, Lord was thinking of delivering another wave next time...
He truly made me cry of laughter!
"It's a deal; I'll be waiting for you."
Seeing Zhu Haomiao unperturbed by his threats and curses, instead wearing an expectant and calm expression, Susano-o experienced once more his opponent's profound disdain.
As if seeing a clawing ant, a normal person would not be frightened but amused.
And he himself was that ridiculous ant!
Realizing this, Susano-o's already nearly broken sanity completely broke down.
But he knew, in this situation, any harsh words would be merely a loser's howl, neither threatening nor damaging but indeed humorous.
Unable to refute, seething fury churned inside him, forcing only hysterical, crazed screams from his mouth!
"Aaaaaaaah!!!!! Fuck you, damn it!!!"
Yet the next second, the abyssal maw engulfed him like a tunnel, its jaws bristling with tusks coming together, cutting off his mindless roar.
