The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 905 - 426: Success

Gu Jianlin’s voice echoed in the Divine Ruins like the roar of a giant beast. The gale stirred up by the Qilin Wedge seemed to come from the depths of Hell, as he charged forward with an almost furious speed, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom.

It’s hard to imagine that his rank was only the Fifth Rank. In the unseen, it was as if a black Qilin roared towards him. The majestic dark energy made one think of a supernova explosion, even causing the space to tremble.

"Ah, I seem to have gone overboard again." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The Red King had a look of both admiration and amazement in his eyes. Having just escaped from the coffin, he was clearly in an extremely weakened state, so he barely had any resistance as he was cut in half at the waist, including the iron coffin on his back containing his father, which shattered with a roar and was utterly destroyed by the exploding dark energy, leaving not even a trace.

Gu Jianlin’s target was certainly not this resurrected king. After all, this guy’s Candle Dragon Forbidden Curse was honed to pure perfection, and he was a devil who was good at scheming, making it impossible to take advantage of him.

As the iron coffin shattered, Skylark saw the young man approaching closely, along with the roaring Qilin Wedge.

Clang!

That was the sound of blade meeting sword.

Without expression, Skylark raised Jiuyin, blocking this violent strike.

Gu Jianlin exhaled a hot breath. In his golden eyes, there was a coldness like ice. The Qilin Wedge released dark energy with abandon, nearly forcing Jiuyin, which stood in his way, to break!

As a Growth Type Mythical Weapon, Jiuyin was, of course, top-notch.

Unfortunately, what it faced today was not a Mythical Weapon.

But a Wedge!

Ancient God’s Wedge!

Skylark coolly looked at the blood-red ghost knife. It seemed to be in mourning, even reluctant to face its true master, but the power from that Blood-colored Supreme forced it to submit.

If Gu Jianlin were using the power of the Candle Dragon, of course, he could compete with her for control over it.

Like divorced parents fighting for custody of their son.

Or separated lovers scrambling for the pet cat they raised together.

Unfortunately, Gu Jianlin did not do so.

This meant he severed all ties between them; from now on, they were enemies.

"Our Mr. Qilin gets so terrifying when he’s angry. It’s really my oversight this time."

The Red King’s voice echoed in the void: "Miss, be careful. If it were me and my senior brother from the same period, we probably wouldn’t last two minutes before being killed by him, as he is invincible below the Holy Land Level. And this is just one of his avatars. If his true form were here, his combat power would be two to three times greater."

This king appeared again, indeed unharmed.

Even the iron coffin containing his good father was intact.

He sat on the iron coffin, smiling as he watched this unparalleled drama unfold, even pulling out his phone to start recording.

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle of a mega-sized family brawl.

Through the camera on his phone, both people moved at the same time.

Countless afterimages shattered, like the roar of wind and thunder.

Skylark darted around like blood-red lightning, flawlessly defending against the young man’s attacks. The clash of metal sounded like a monster’s roar, a result of countless strikes from the knife and sword, even obscuring the path of their movements.

Colossal like the bones of a giant, the frame rose from the ground, accompanied by the roar of the Qilin.

Gu Jianlin raised the Qilin Wedge. The spiritual body behind him also condensed into an enormous black Iron Sword over tenfold, spewing out the pale Divine Sacrificial Fire, akin to the mythic Levatin that could burn the world, striking down in one slash!

With a thunderous boom, Skylark’s figure was swallowed by golden flames.

"Impressive."

The Red King lightly applauded, murmuring to himself: "Powerful Ascenders are adept at integrating their Extraordinary Abilities into Combined Skills. Different Extraordinary Abilities combined yield a qualitative change. Though his rank is only Fifth Rank, he has completely mastered the integration of his abilities. Plus, with the power of that Black Supreme, tsk tsk."

He paused: "Purely in terms of the Fifth Rank, he’s probably as strong as three of my senior brothers."

As the golden flames burned, an elegant silhouette flitted away.

With ghost-like speed, Skylark tore through the flames and, with an upward slash, numerous icy cold lights flashed.

Those were innumerable overlapping blade marks, representing crisscrossing slashes.

With a cracking sound, the massive spiritual body, giant-like, collapsed with a roar. Absolute defense was instantly shattered.

Gu Jianlin’s black hair was disheveled by the gale, yet his eyes bore no expression.

Even with Skylark, following the Ghost Slayer Path, having closed in, he remained motionless.

A faint rumble of thunder.

In the instant Skylark was about to flash in front of him, she instinctively furrowed her brow.

The searing Star Cluster had already gathered above her head, its violent starlight crashing down with a roar!

The speed of this descent took less than a thousandth of a second!

Boom!

A massive mushroom cloud erupted where Skylark stood.

Gu Jianlin was also blown away by the shockwave, reversing the Qilin Wedge to stab it into the ground to dissipate momentum.

Skylark also flashed beneath the golden ancient tree, coldly flicking off the ashes from her blade.

As the sole spectator, the Red King assessed the battle conditions.

Skylark was on the defensive, while Qilin was the aggressively attacking side.

It seemed neither gained an advantage; it was a stalemate.

But the issue was, there was a rank difference between these two.

Even if Skylark could only exert Holy Land Level strength in this world, she still had absolute suppression. Both shared the same status, with no innate disparity.
