Chapter 248 Peak Showdown, Wrath of the Demon God

the great and powerful bright king, representing sanctity, was directly blown apart. his immortality suppressed, turned into bloody chunks of flesh, emitting a sickening smell of decay. the holy tranquility was no more, as all the essence from his flesh and blood had been fully absorbed.

such a drastic change, let alone for kasyapa the ancient buddha.

even su heng, standing as the opponent, felt somewhat horrified, his pupils trembling slightly.

bang!

he waved his hand.

deflecting an arrow shot at him by the bright king just before his demise.

then, his figure blurred, moving swiftly, shifting thousands of meters in an instant to reappear at the other end of the square, evading the aftermath of the explosion.

the glaring golden light dimmed, and the dust settled.

the mastermind behind killing the bright king finally appeared on the battlefield, entering the sight of kasyapa the ancient buddha and su heng.

the person had black hair and blood-red eyes, wearing a blood-colored robe. the tight-fitting garment outlined his muscular and robust body, exuding a charming and demonic aura. at that moment, his long fingers tinted with blood, his serpent-like tongue flickered out to lick them lightly, revealing a sickly flush on his face.

"corruption demon god, marpa!" kasyapa the ancient buddha looked at the shadow floating in the void, taking a deep breath.

he attempted to calm himself with this action.

but it was futile.

his heart still sank, a chill spread throughout his body, causing a subtle tremble.

he knew, under the law king temple, a demon god was suppressed—this was hardly a secret among the higher echelons of skull plain. what surprised kasyapa, however, was that the seal left by the bright sun should have lasted much longer, yet marpa had somehow escaped from it.

and without any warning, he appeared so abruptly on the battlefield.

taking advantage of the moment the bright king was most drained, launching a sneak attack to kill him and harvest his terrifying essence, braving his weakest stage.

now, the corruption demon god was extremely difficult to deal with.

not someone he could handle at the moment.

"a trap..." with this thought, kasyapa already started to think of retreating.

but he was puzzled about one thing: who had let the demon god out.

"su heng? it seems not!" because su heng's face also bore a slightly gloomy look, his eyes filled with undeniable surprise.

after a brief contemplation, kasyapa had a probable direction, "it must be someone from the zhou imperial family. they released the demon god to deal with skull plain... it seems a bit of an overkill. more likely, it was to divert attention, merely a part of another plan." explore stories at empirenôv(el)b\\jnn

in a fleeting moment, numerous thoughts crossed kasyapa's mind, engulfing him in a slight chill.

for such a colossal entity like the zhou dynasty, being overly cautious was never excessive.

"hiss—"

kasyapa completed his thoughts and was about to move.

looking up, he saw the demon god marpa watching calmly, who smiled and said, "little monk, you were just calling my name."

with his last strength, kasyapa struck against marpa, while su heng seized the opportunity to deploy the bright sun divine skill; a black hole rose behind him. all the blood and essence of kasyapa were devoured by su heng, instantly refined, and the latter's aura rapidly returned to its peak.

"you mere ants dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth; i admire your courage," marpa said, his face expressionless, as he looked towards su heng, his smile fading.

"haha!" su heng laughed loudly, having come to the monastery this time prepared to face a demon god.

although things had developed unexpectedly, su heng showed no fear in the face of marpa. feeling the formidable aura and terrifying intent to kill emanating from his body, su heng grew increasingly excited.

"actually, it tastes very ordinary." su heng smirked, his voice cold, "only a mountain pig like you, locked up for thousands of years, would consider it fine grain."

"a youth who has just entered heavenly deceit, daring to be so disrespectful in front of me."

marpa, furious yet amused, had stormy clouds swirling behind his robust body, releasing dense black thunders. his voice was low, carrying a divine authority, "in my prime, an ant like you wouldn't even have the privilege to kneel before me."

the patience of the corruption demon god was wearing thin, and before his words finished, he moved to attack again.

the same move, but fueled by anger, this strike was even more powerful—grays and blacks filled the void like a cascading waterfall, crashing down overwhelmingly.

su heng took a deep breath, his gaze sharpened, and he raised his hand in defense.

boom!

the ground exploded, the terrifying blast instantly submerged su heng's figure. dust mixed with fragmented stone shot up under the impact, like a volcanic eruption. the area shook violently, the ground sinking and fracturing, nothing was visible.

only a furious, muddy tide-like explosion spread outwards, swallowing all surrounding trees, buildings, and everything else, entirely obliterated.

boom boom boom!

a series of continuous explosions echoed.

but amidst the terrifying blast that devoured everything, a towering figure stood still.

like a rock in the tide, immovably solid, giving an impression of being indestructible. this was somewhat beyond marpa's expectations; he deeply furrowed his brows. despite facing great foes like the prior maha kasyapa and kasyapa in his hands, they were merely instantly killed.

yet now, this young man, freshly admitted into heavenly deceit, merely an ant, was able to stand unyielding under his wrathful strike.

"no matter who you are, there's only one outcome for those who oppose me," marpa spoke in a low tone, "since one beam of light can't kill you, then a hundred, a thousand, i refuse to believe you can withstand them all!"

snapping his fingers, marpa stretched out his hand and swiped forward.

the void trembled, fissures spreading. behind his tall and muscular body under the crimson moonlight, numerous millstone-sized eyes opened, glimmering with greed and emitting a grayish white haze. at marpa's command, all of them dilated.

beams of grayish white light, dense like a sci-fi weapons array, bombarded intensely.

the spot where su heng stood was directly engulfed, turning into a cold, dazzling gray-white sun, too brilliant to stare at directly.

the ground beneath his feet cracked and evaporated layer by layer. when the light faded, the entire plaza had vanished, replaced by a massive pit a hundred meters deep.

and all the buildings around the battlefield fell outward like weeds, emitting dense smoke amidst the thunderous explosions.

an apocalyptic scene of a disaster coming, the end of the world.

"this should completely settle him," marpa panted, cold sweat on his forehead. having just broken free from his seals, such attacks were greatly taxing for him. but now that the enemy had been dealt with, what came next...

"hahaha, truly exhilarating," a deep laughter echoed; marpa's expression turned ice cold!
