National Guardian's Gone and We're Done
Chapter 253 - 252: A Deity Forged of Gold, Utterly Indestructible
Yumizakura, Gao Liceng, and Nalan Fengshan stood at the edge of the crater.
The moment they saw Brahma Heaven suddenly erupt and attack Chu He, their hearts plunged into a bottomless, icy abyss.
Being there in person, they saw things far more clearly than the audience watching the live stream.
In the preceding battle, Chu He had appeared to be suppressing Shiva and Brahma Heaven with an absolute advantage.
However, the attacks Shiva and Brahma Heaven unleashed were not to be trifled with.
Every move and technique held lethal danger.
Thus, when Chu He engaged them, he didn’t bother probing their depths.
Nor did he want to get drawn into a long, protracted fight.
He knew how powerful these two opponents were, so he adopted the most direct and decisive method.
An all-out, crushing assault!
He swept toward Shiva and Brahma Heaven with unstoppable force, a power so immense it threatened to annihilate everything in its path.
Yet even under the pressure of Chu He’s terrifyingly extreme attacks,
Brahma Heaven and Shiva, despite suffering immense physical damage, reacted in a way that was completely abnormal.
If an ordinary person had suffered such an attack, they would have long since given up the ghost and been turned to dust.
But Brahma Heaven and Shiva remained standing, not a single trace of pain on their faces, as if the wounds on their bodies didn’t even exist.
Yumizakura couldn’t help but put herself in their shoes, imagining herself in that battle.
’If I were the one facing Chu He’s ferocious attacks...’
An image instantly appeared in Yumizakura’s mind: before that surging power, she would be like a fragile leaf, utterly crushed in an instant, without even a speck left behind.
’No... not probably. I would *definitely* be obliterated without a trace!’
So for a being like Brahma Heaven, when he launched a desperate counterattack,
one tinged with a frenzied, reckless abandon,
a final lunge intended to drag Chu He down to hell with him—the threat was simply unimaginable!
Seeing this, Nalan Fengshan and Gao Liceng were frantic with anxiety. Their bodies tensed, and they subconsciously prepared to help Chu He.
But Yumizakura sighed softly and said slowly, "With your strength, you two can’t save Chu He.
Even if you managed to reach his side in time, you wouldn’t be able to stop Brahma Heaven at all.
Look at him. He’s a complete wreck, with only one of his five heads left, and even that’s not intact.
But even so, killing you would be as easy for him as flipping his hand."
Yumizakura’s words were cruel, like a sharp blade piercing straight into Gao Liceng’s and Nalan Fengshan’s pride.
But the truth was an immovable mountain, plain for them to see.
Gao Liceng and Nalan Fengshan didn’t get angry.
Instead, they were like two defeated roosters, utterly dejected.
They both knew in their hearts that Yumizakura was absolutely right.
Their own strength was far, far too weak.
They had no right to participate in a battle of this caliber, between the likes of Chu He, Shiva, and Brahma Heaven.
Nalan Fengshan suddenly recalled what Chu He had told him back at the Cyan Mountain Cemetery.
He had spent too much time at Cyan Mountain Cemetery, so long that he had become completely detached from the outside world.
It seemed the world outside had indeed undergone an earth-shattering transformation, one that far exceeded his imagination.
As Brahma Heaven threw his all-out punch,
the air around the crater howled as it was churned by the force.
Shiva understood. Brahma Heaven was betting his life on this one, final gamble.
His once dim, lifeless eyes seemed to regain a flicker of life, widening slightly. His gaze held an unconcealable trace of hope.
Deep down, he was silently praying that Brahma Heaven’s desperate gamble would succeed.
After all, if Brahma Heaven succeeded, the power of that punch meant he himself would surely die, but Chu He would also have no chance of survival.
And that meant he, Shiva, could be the sole survivor of this death trap!
The logic was simple and cruel, obvious to any discerning eye.
Shiva even secretly hoped that Brahma Heaven and Chu He would both perish here.
That way, he would be the only Supreme God left in the entire White Elephant Empire, and he could become its one and only ruler.
THUD!
Brahma Heaven’s punch, imbued with all his power and resolve, landed squarely on Chu He’s chest.
The attack was aimed with pinpoint accuracy, right at Chu He’s heart.
His goal was clear: a one-hit kill, leaving Chu He no chance to even catch his breath.
The sound of the punch hitting Chu He’s chest
was like a giant ancient bell in a temple being struck hard—a dull, deafening boom.
The sound became a physical shockwave that made the eardrums of everyone nearby ache.
Even the audience watching the live stream clearly heard the deafening, bell-like sound.
Many viewers were startled by the sudden, massive sound.
They scrambled to turn down the volume before composing themselves and returning their nervous gazes to the screen.
In the crater, Brahma Heaven’s expression changed in an instant.
His face, which had been a mask of resolve and madness, was quickly filled with astonishment, as if he had just witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.
The very instant Brahma Heaven’s fist struck Chu He’s chest,
a brilliant, dazzling golden light suddenly burst from Chu He’s entire body without any warning.
The golden light was like a midday sun, instantly enveloping Chu He.
It made him look like a deity cast from solid gold, completely indestructible.
From beginning to end, Chu He showed no intention of resisting.
He just stood there quietly, as if he were deliberately using Brahma Heaven’s sneak attack to test his own body’s defenses.
Because normally, if Chu He had truly been caught off guard by Brahma Heaven’s blow,
with his power, he should have already reacted and counterattacked by now.
But Chu He remained perfectly still, not moving a muscle.
Brahma Heaven’s eyes widened, his mind filled with confusion.
’Why did Chu He’s body suddenly erupt with such a brilliant, powerful golden light?’
’And why, in that instant, did his physical body become like the hardest, most unbreakable substance in the world?’
That one punch had consumed all of Brahma Heaven’s Life Force. Like an oil lamp whose fuel had burned away, the light of his life rapidly dimmed.
Then, the black mist that had been lingering around Chu He, like a hungry wolf scenting prey,
swiftly surged toward Brahma Heaven, stripping away the Supreme Divinity within his body, bit by bit.
It was like squeezing a plump fruit dry of all its juice.
The black mist didn’t spare Shiva, either, sweeping toward him like a tide.
The glimmer of hope that had been shining in Shiva’s eyes was completely extinguished in that moment.
If Brahma Heaven’s physical body had died, then what Shiva was now experiencing was the complete annihilation of his very soul and will.
The Supreme Divinity within his body
was also completely devoured by the black mist manifested by Chu He’s Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique,
leaving not a single trace behind.
