Chapter 226: Chapter 225: Pangu’s Sky-Opening Axe Appears! (I can only work hard, the rest is up to fate!)

Translator: 549690339

“Are we really going to fight?”

In the arena, Du Gang revealed a smile that looked worse than crying, saying, “You better consider carefully. If you...if you lose the fight, these thousand-plus artifacts will be mine!”

“Hahaha!”

Long Aotian laughed heartily, saying, “Rest assured, if we lose the contest, we won’t hold you responsible!”

Du Gang moved his lips slightly, his eyes restlessly darting around, as though trying to find ways to get out of the situation he found himself in. He said, “That’s just your promise. What if the others...”

“Haha, I, Little Hawk King, promise that we will readily accept defeat, and we will absolutely not hold anything against you if we lose the competition...”

Immediately, everyone in the field made a casual promise.

Although Du Gang’s face was gradually becoming paler, he was celebrating in his heart and diligently recording their verbal commitments.

Starting from an unknown point in time, he developed the good habit of recording proof of any promises made to him, wherever he went!

After a while, most of the people in the field made promises not to hold Du Gang accountable.

Hehe!

Du Gang was filled with inner joy, yet his face was pale. His previously evasive eyes grew firm at that moment.

“If that’s the case, let’s fight. Who knows, I might win!”

“Haha, believe in yourself, Black Charcoal, perhaps you can indeed win!”

At that moment, no one believed Du Gang could win; they all laughed heartily.

Du Gang then slowly unsheathed the axe from his waist.

He currently possessed two saintly techniques, along with a supreme technique.

The supreme technique was the ‘World Creation’ passed down to him by the supreme divine thought of Pangu. Even though he only grasped a smidgen of it, it was more than enough to deal with Guo Qiu!

On the other hand, Guo Qiu brought out something similar to a Sacred Torch, broad at the top and narrow at the bottom, with raging flames currently burning.

Seeing this, Du Gang was inwardly apprehensive. It was either that his world possessed oxygen, or this Sacred Torch was extraordinarily powerful.

“Little Black Kid, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This Sacred Torch can significantly enhance the power of my Black Fire. Be careful not to die...”

In Guo Qiu’s eyes, since Du Gang was able to steal so much money from his father, his father must at least be a True God, or even a Great Power.

Therefore, he certainly wouldn’t dare to actually kill Du Gang, hence the warning.

Du Gang smiled, “If it weren’t for those words, I might not have been able to control myself from killing you...”

No matter the enemy’s intention, since they weren’t planning to kill him, he wouldn’t go for the kill either, seeing as this was, in essence, a friendly match, and there was a bet of over a hundred million on the line.

Those present didn’t pay attention to his words; instead, they all turned their eyes towards Libra, looking at the Saint Crystals inside, and were greatly excited.

“Boom!”

In the middle of the arena, Guo Qiu raised his Sacred Torch. The Black Fire that had been fiercely burning once more roared to life, the flames shooting up to the sky.

“Go!”

He swiftly waved his hand and gently pressed the Sacred Torch down. Instantly, a black flame serpent appeared, moving its body sinuously in the air and approached Du Gang.

However, compared to his previous eerie Black Fire, although this black flame serpent’s power was massive, its trajectory was predictable, leaving room for evasion.

Du Gang chuckled lightly; he didn’t move from his position, but as if he had mastered the art of cloning, another figure appeared behind Guo Qiu in the blink of an eye. He raised his axe and fiercely smashed it down on the back of Guo Qiu’s head.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, Guo Qiu fainted without reacting.

From this, one could see that Du Gang’s control over power was extremely strong. Any more power and Guo Qiu might have died, any less and he may not have fainted; it was just the right amount.

“Huh?”

“Ah?”

The spectators were all taken aback as if they were in a daze, unwilling to believe the situation on the battlefield.

Du Gang, however, didn’t pay any mind to them. After knocking out Guo Qiu, he rushed towards Libra at the first opportunity.

“Get!”

“Swoosh swoosh!”

He quickly gathered the thirty million Saint Crystals that belonged to him. At the same time, he flew towards Libra, where over a thousand divine artifacts were stored.

“Stop!”

Without stopping to think about how Guo Qiu lost, Long Aotian loudly shouted to stop Du Gang from taking the artifacts and quickly launched himself towards him.

Or to be more precise, almost everyone in the arena charged at Du Gang. However, Long Aotian had the fastest reaction time and was the first one to attack.

“Hum!”

Suddenly, the Sound of the Dao rang out and Long Aotian’s figure immediately came to a halt.

At that instant, Du Gang had already reached near Libra. As Long Aotian and others charged at him, it seemed as if they wanted to snatch the bets placed on Libra, thus they were restricted by the betting restrictions of the Rune Stone.

“Hehe!”

Du Gang turned his head to look at Long Aotian and grinned, “Big brother, thank goodness for your Rune Stone...”

What the heck!

At that moment, a thousand wild horses galloped through Long Aotian’s heart.

“Swoosh swoosh!”

Without any hesitation, Du Gang, upon reaching Libra, collected all over a thousand divine artifacts.

By this point, the two Libras had become empty. Simultaneously, the figure of Libra began to fade, which meant that the power of the Rune Stone was gradually disappearing.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

This time, not only was Long Aotian’s group panic-stricken, but all the God Spirit Level powerhouses who had waited in the void to get a piece of the action also emerged, instantly blocking Du Gang’s path.

“Little Black, it’d be best if you hand over the things you shouldn’t have gotten!”

No one dared to act recklessly, because Du Gang had world’s worth of objects worth billions of Saint Crystals in him, they were mainly afraid of being misunderstood by others.

But nobody thought he could escape under the watchful eyes of dozens or hundreds of God Spirit Level powerhouses.

Looking at all these God Spirit Level powerhouses that appeared, Du Gang was startled and glanced around, noticing no members of the Kong Family, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

This meant that they must have known what had happened and had gone to call for reinforcements.

Seeing this, he immediately showed a terrified expression, stammering, “We... We were just having a gambling fight...”

One of the prodigies sneered, “A divine tool worth one billion is right there, even if we give it to you, do you dare to take it?”

“That’s right, it involves thousands of people’s divine tools, if you are sensible, hand it over immediately!”

Du Gang continued to panic, “You folks... you don’t keep your words, you had promised me before, I won, so the divine tool is mine...”

At this time, Long Aotian frowned, he had a feeling something was off.

The only thing wrong with this little black kid, everything, seemed too smooth, as if it were planned...

“Hahaha, so what if we promised, look at the thousands of families present here and see if they agree!”

“Right, with such an event, forget about your Li Family, even if any of the eighteen families came here, they would still have to cough it up!”

Just then, a chilling voice came from the void.

“I want to see who dares make him spit it out!”

“Boom!”

The world suddenly split open, a middle-aged, bald man, leading an army of ten thousand, slowly appeared here.

As soon as he showed up, these tens of thousands of people surrounded the entire venue.

At the same time, the people at the foot of the mountain also saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise.

“What is that?”

“In the high sky, the space splits open, inside it there are countless heavenly soldiers and generals...”

“That’s ten thousand God Spirit Level strongmen!”

Everyone was startled, dumbfoundedly staring at the half-empty space, too shocked to say a word.

“Not only are there ten thousand God Spirits, look at their clothing, they are all uniformed armor, they might be the group army of the eighteen big families!”

Looking at the ten thousand God Spirits that appeared all around, apart from Long Aotian and others, even the God Spirits guarding them were dumbfounded.

“You guys...”

Soon, the God Spirits recognized them.

“You guys are from the Kong Family, what do you want to do?!”

“Do you want to rob your own people?!”

At this moment, countless God Spirits were all enraged, contacting their families and asking for reinforcements.

However, the middle-aged man leading them did not stop them. He came to resolve things and naturally needed those who could make decisions for the families to show up.

Meanwhile, Qingyu stepped forward and pulled Du Gang out of the crowd.

“He can’t leave!”

Right as a God Spirit began to yell, Qingyu shot him a glare.

“Slap!”

In an instant, an invisible palm print appeared in front of the God Spirit.

“You damn well want to meddle with me?!”

After being slapped, the God Spirit finally reacted and realized the person in front of him was Qingyu, a late-stage God Spirit Level expert. Someone he couldn’t afford to offend. All he could do was swallow his anger and remain silent.

Soon, Du Gang was brought before the man who was clearly in charge.

Qingyu laughed, “This is our Legion Leader of the Demon Suppression Legion, Lord Meng!”

Seeing this, Du Gang hurriedly paid his respect, “Lord Meng!”

He did not forget what Qingyu had said earlier, the Legion Leader is a True God Level powerhouse. It was not excessive to show him any level of respect, especially since he was leading an army here to protect him.

Lord Meng nodded, smiling, “Rest assured, no one dares to touch you with me around today!”

His words were not false, but it was not just because of him. Most importantly, it was because the one in front of him is an Ancient God.

Given his identity, even without him, in the end, the major families would have to swallow their pride and accept it.

However, with him present, things can be settled more quickly, also, he could owe Du Gang a favor.

As a Legion Leader of the Demon Suppression Legion appearing here now, who would dare cause trouble?

“Hiss!”

All the God Spirits present shuddered.

They thought it was just a regular Kong Family Army that had come, who knew, it turned out to be a Lord of the Demon Suppression Legion.

It should be noted, such high-ranking big shots usually stay in Primordial Continent to dominate, who would have thought they would come here.

“Who the hell is this Black Charcoal?”

At this moment, everyone was filled with enormous doubts.

Only Long Aotian, Little Hawk King, Yu Shuiyao, and others seemed to have realized something.

“Having thirty million Saint Crystals, enough for the Kong Family to protect like this...”

Yu Shuiyao blurted out: “Are you Du Gang?!”

Once these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar.

“What?”

“He is Du Gang?!”

“Ancient God Du Gang, as I recall was fairly handsome and pale-skinned, how did he become so dark?”

Many people were astonished, most of the people present, although they had never seen Du Gang, but they had heard his name and had some understanding of his features.

At this moment, Qingyu laughed and said: “Du Gang, remove your disguise now!”

Du Gang, seeing this, began to wash up.

Nearly in no time, the black charcoal on his face gradually disappeared, revealing his true appearance.

“Holy shit, it really is him!”

All were in an uproar.

“This kid has been playing a role all this time!”

“Not only that, he may have done so intentionally!”

Long Aotian and the others, seeing even a True God-level entity intervene, thought today’s affair would be resolved, yet Du Gang had revealed his real identity. That means there’s still a chance!

“Humph, wait for it, wait for the people of the major families to appear, and then...”

As countless Divine Spirits and distinguished individuals continued to spread the news, and the live video and situation of the scene were transmitted out, the universe shook, Penglai Island shook, and all the families mobilized.

On this day, the whole world was in shock!

The Demon Suppression Legion, originally stationed in the Primordial Continent, actually carried tens of thousands of God Spirit-level powerhouses, systematically traveling to the Pangu Continent!

“What in the world is going on, has the sky fallen?!”

“Have the people of the Kong Family gone mad? What are they planning to do with such a powerful Demon Suppression Army?!”

Everyone was stunned, everyone was filled with shock, not knowing what had happened to cause the Demon Suppression Legion to mobilize.

Compared to the shock in the universe, the shock within the major families was even stronger.

“Who is Lord Meng?” he is a True God-level powerhouse known throughout the Primordial Continent, even there, he is still famous.

Such a figure had left the Primordial Continent, returned to the universe, and arrived at the Pangu Continent!

On this day, all the families mobilized!

Nearly everyone on Penglai Island left, with the heads of the major families personally leading the team, bringing countless God Spirit-level powerhouses to the Pangu Continent.

“Shuffle shuffle shuffle!!!”

With the entrance of countless figures, the Demon Suppression Army led by Lord Meng gradually contracted their formation, changing from an encircling style to a confrontational one.

Tens of thousands of God Spirit-level soldiers stood neatly and proudly in the sky, at the front of the line were Lord Meng, Qingyu, and Du Gang.

On their opposite side was an alliance formed by many powerful forces from over a thousand family clans.

Each family and clan brought a large number of powerhouses, some had hundreds, some had at least a few. All were gathered here, a sea of people, tens of thousands, all God Spirit-level powerhouses.

Purely in terms of numbers, the alliance of the clans had more, but in terms of momentum, the Demon Suppression Army on the other side was more vigorous.

On the ground, people started clearing the field, driving away the spectators.

These distinguished persons, at this moment, dared not stay any longer. Tens of thousands of God Spirit-level entities appeared in the sky, both sides facing off, a big fight was about to break out.

“What on earth is he up to?!”

The people outside were utterly surprised and terrified.

“Is he...is he trying to sit on the throne of the phenomenon?!”

“Keep in mind, that throne might be the exact one the Supreme had sat on before. What will happen once he sits on it?!”

No one knew the answer, it all seemed extremely bizarre and shocking to them.

Like a God King, Long Aotian strode towards his throne with ease, with absolutely no pause in his footsteps. Every step was just the right distance as if he had precisely measured it out.

He was almost there!

Long Aotian stood before the dragon throne and slowly turned around. He sat high above, looking down at Du Gang and the entire world, a smile lingering at the corner of his mouth. He slowly sat down as if he were observing his multigenerational empire.

“Boom!”

When he fully seated himself on the dragon throne, a horrifying wave of power radiated outwards instantaneously. The battlefield’s sky shattered, the ground collapsed, and the space tore apart, mimicking an apocalyptic scene.

“What a guy, capable of exerting such powerful might at the Sector Lord level!!”

In the outside world, even Lord Meng was taken aback. He hastily said, “Keep steady!”

The word became reality!

“Hum!”

The sound of Dao resonated, and the battlefield which was on the brink of collapsing became steady once again.

All who were present looked in shock at Lord Meng.

“This is the truth!”

“It’s too horrifying, with no law fluctuations...”

“It’s not law anymore. At that level, they say that one had already embarked on the Dao.”

“Dao?”

“Right, it’s said to be something more closely related to the essence of the world’s truth!”

Inside the battlefield, Du Gang felt the overwhelming aura from afar, which instilled in him the notion of escaping.

In his eyes, the man sitting at the top of the dragon throne was like the sovereign of heaven and earth, the supreme of this world. He was formidable, magnificent, sacred, and invincible!

Just as his knee started to buckle slightly, as though he was about to kneel to the Heavenly Emperor.

“No!”

Du Gang snapped back to his senses and let out a bellow!

This was not just his voice, it was also the voice of an ancient god!

The ancient gods are not supposed to kneel down to heaven or earth; why should they kneel before others?!

“Transform!”

At this moment, Du Gang no longer hesitated. Acting decisively, he transformed into a giant of a hundred thousand kilometers tall.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed like it has been pried open.

Compared with him, Long Aotian, who was now seated on the dragon throne, was as insignificant and small as a speck of dust.

“Whoosh!”

It was then that a truly shocking scene happened.

Seen was Long Aotian and his dragon throne, expanding rapidly in an instant.

A hundred meters!

A kilometer!

Ten kilometers!

A million kilometers!

A hundred million kilometers!

At this moment, he seemed to be telling everyone in the world that no one could make him look up, increasing his size again to a height comparable to Du Gang’s, before he stopped.

“Incredible!”

“Could he... use transformation techniques too?”

Some God Spirits shook their heads, “It’s not transformation, it’s a kind of Law as Heaven and Earth, a magical power that only those with extraordinary abilities can display!”

“And yet, despite that, even if it were Law as Heaven and Earth, only those above the God Spirit Level could exhibit such power. Who would have thought that Long Aotian...”

“Wait, look at Long Aotian!”

Someone suddenly cried out in surprise.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes in his direction.

At that moment, everyone’s jaw nearly dropped.

They saw that from Long Aotian, a ripple of Daoist Charm spread out in all directions.

“He’s about to advance!”

“Damn, the Ancient God really does have a major opportunity. Long Aotian is about to advance to Eternity after battling with him!”

“Kong Xu was the first, the Divine Temple had eighteen, and now there’s Long Aotian, making him the twentieth!”

“So if you put it like that, isn’t Ancient God Du Gang about to lose?!”

Within the battlefield.

Long Aotian’s form became more dazzling, unlike Du Gang’s substantial body, his state, resulting from the Law as Heaven and Earth transformation, remained somewhat unreal. However, this did not affect his terrifying imposing presence.

“Is he about to advance to Eternity?!”

Du Gang’s face showed a serious expression, withdrawing his Ancient Divine Spear.

Originally, he had planned to save some strength, but it seemed he couldn’t now!

He was about to use the World Creation Technique!

If he wanted to beat Long Aotian, this was the only technique left!

He wasn’t keen on returning that artifact worth over a hundred million Saint Crystals.

Moreover, if he lost this time, his thirty million Saint Crystals would also vanish!

So, in this battle, he must win and cannot afford to lose!

“Enlarge! Enlarge! Enlarge!”

“Boom!”

As Du Gang continued to chant, the long ax in his hand shattered into pieces when it reached a thousand meters in size.

After all, it was a Rank One Divine Weapon, it had its limits, unable to continue to support his fight.

“Huh? Is Du Gang about to lose?”

“His weapon exploded!”

“Wait, look closely!”

As the crowd cried out in surprise, the ax head, which had originally shattered in the field, returned to its original state in an instant. It converged, and, following Du Gang’s intentions, it started to expand rapidly.

“What’s going on?!”

At this moment, Lord Meng’s brow furrowed, carefully sensing the situation. He then widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed, “I actually sensed a hint of the charm of the Supreme Dao Technique!”

“What!?”

The audience was stunned, taken aback by what Lord Meng had said.

“No...”

Lord Meng quickly denied it, then continued, “It’s not the Supreme Dao Technique. It’s the Supreme Technique. Du Gang has mastered the supreme technique of Pangu!”

“That ax... is just an illusion...”

“The Supreme Technique of Pangu?!!”

At this moment, countless people started speculating.

“Could it be that it’s the ax used by Pangu when he created the world?!”

Everyone present was either a top genius from various families, or a powerhouse above God Spirit Level, and naturally knew who had created this universe over a hundred billion years ago. They were all incredibly shocked.

“Could it be possible that we’re going to witness the scene of Pangu creating the world billions of years ago?!”

Many people were shocked and speechless, focusing intently on the center of the battlefield, afraid of missing a single detail.

At this moment, forget about the Sector Lords, even God Spirits and powerhouses like Lord Meng, or even the True God level powerhouses who were protecting the Pangu Continent from a distance, were all watching closely.

It seemed like Long Aotian too sensed the crisis. At this moment, without any hesitation, he launched his attack in advance.

They saw his Divine Throne, hosting his colossal figure, flying at high speed, charging towards the giant form of Du Gang.

Just like Gonggong crashing into Mount Buzhou, he hurled himself towards Du Gang with a powerful force.

“World Creation!”

At this moment, without the slightest hesitation, Du Gang directly launched his strongest attack!

“Whoosh~!”

At this moment, it seemed as if darkness had descended upon the world in everyone’s eyes.

Every being, be it a God Spirit or a True God, appeared to have fallen into a darkened abyss.

A colossal figure, towering above the sky, bellowed upward in a roaring fury, clutching a sharply gleaming axe that radiated a terrifying aura, and brought it down before him.

“Boom!”

At this instant, everyone involuntarily closed their eyes.

They could no longer see!

The divine was too profound to be directly viewed!

Though tens of thousands of God Spirits were present, in that moment, they appeared stripped of their divinity, rendered into mere mortals before the illusory figure of Pangu, unable to bear the sight of the divine.

Though they could not see, the overwhelming power that made them feel as if the universe was on the verge of exploding again, spread outwards.

“Boom!”

Whether it was an instant or ten thousand years gone by, everyone momentarily returned to reality.

They hastily cast their gazes toward the center of the battlefield.

The dragon-shaped platform, a manifestation of Long Aotian’s anomaly, was cracked open, a vertically running crevice in clear sight.

As for Long Aotian himself, he was laid on the ground, motionless, as if he had lost consciousness.

Facing him stood Du Gang, his eyes tightly shut, as if he was in the midst of realizing something.

“World Creation by Pangu...”

At this moment, after executing his World Creation move, Du Gang once again saw the mirage of Pangu creating the world, flooding his brain with invaluable information.

This strengthened his understanding of World Creation, accelerating his insight.

It’s safe to say that this time, not only did he achieve victory, but he also advanced his understanding and control of the technique of World Creation, reaching a new level of mastery.

In fact, he vaguely felt that he was capable of defying the heavens and slaying the God Spirits!

“Long Aotian!”

The Master of the Dragon Family swiftly transformed into a beam of light, appearing in the battlefield and began examining Long Aotian’s condition.

What relieved him was that Du Gang had obviously been merciful. Even though he had cleaved the dragon platform, he had not harmed Long Aotian.

There were no fissures on his body. The reason he had fainted was that he couldn’t withstand the backlash of the dragon platform being torn apart.

“Long Aotian’s progression toward eternity has been forcefully halted!”

“What should we do now?”

“Based on the previous situation, his ‘tribulation’ to progress toward eternity was to defeat Du Gang, but now...”

Everyone fell silent.

Given Du Gang’s current power, it would not only threaten those at the Sector Lord level but might even pose a threat to newcomers of the God Spirit level.

Terrifying!

At this moment, everyone acknowledged Du Gang’s strength and felt a sense of fear.

“He’s barely over a hundred years old...”

No one knows how far Du Gang will grow.

“What a pity, he cannot overcome the Ancient God Tribulation!”

At this moment, some people expressed deep regret.

“Boom!”

Just then, an earth-shattering noise rang out.

The originally calm and towering South Mountain now exhibited a crack.

At the same time, a grand power emanated from it.

Not only that, the entire surrounding universe seemed unable to bear the strain and began to tear apart.

“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!”

Countless spatial cracks appeared!

“Retreat!”

At this moment, all the powerful God Spirits mobilized, immediately relocating their disciples from the vicinity to avoid the horrifying aftershocks.

“What’s going on?!”

“What’s happening?!”

Many people panicked, not knowing what was going on.

At this moment, Lord Meng exclaimed in shock: “This energy...”

“The Sky-Opening Axe of Pangu!”

PS: In this month, it might be challenging to take over the first place in the Combat Power Ranking from the old hawk. The word count hasn’t increased, which means, the remaining twenty days could demand more effort.

My body has started to rebound. I slept for 10 hours today. The alarm didn’t wake me up. I wonder if it counts as being unconscious.

Perhaps, the orange cat might really be neutered, after all.

But remember, where there’s a will, there’s a way. No matter how little time is left, I, the orange cat, will not give up trying.

With 23 days left, at least 33,000 words per day. If I’m in a good state, I’ll write more.

(The cat’s style may be outdated, I’m preparing to learn the writing style of the bestseller!)
