Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 390 - 219 Heavenly King’s game_4

Zhou Xuan continuously activated the Blood Well,

The Three-headed Stone Buddha seemed utterly helpless.

"Brother Zhou, the Tree Clan is deeply grateful for your assistance."

Panting and barely alive, Peng Sheng hung upside down from the Ancestor Tree. After completing his fourteenth Divine Image, he expressed his gratitude to Zhou Xuan.

"Save your thanks—I’m just curious to see how this beast of a Stone Buddha plans to descend upon Jing Country today."

Zhou Xuan’s words were tinged not only with anger but also with genuine curiosity.

Coming from three hundred years in the future, he naturally had knowledge of certain outcomes in this piece of history. For instance, the Netherworld Stone that Yun Ziliang picked up indicated that the Three-headed Stone Buddha’s descent was a success.

But now, with Zhou Xuan present as a being neither living nor dead, possessing the Blood Well capable of devouring any flesh and blood, endlessly consuming its physical vessels,

how the Three-headed Stone Buddha would descend without a vessel was a mystery.

"Judging by the current battle dynamics, Peng Hou and the Three-headed Stone Buddha aren’t necessarily holding the upper hand." Zhou Xuan commented.

From the battlefield, Peng Hou was already battered—his body nearly falling apart as the Divine Image of the Tree Clan members overwhelmed him entirely.

Though the Peach Blossom Ancestor Tree had withered a large portion of its branches and leaves, it clearly retained enough strength to fight.

The Three-headed Stone Buddha, despite its transcendent mastery, could not properly descend with Zhou Xuan present.

The situation still leaned slightly in favor of the Tree Clan.

"Could I have altered Jing Country’s history?"

A bold thought flashed through Zhou Xuan’s mind, but just at that moment,

a blue, ghostly ocean suddenly appeared across Peng Town’s ground.

The Tree Clan members, Zhou Xuan, and the Ancestor Tree found themselves seemingly standing above an endless sea.

"Boom!"

Towering waves dozens of meters high churned layer upon layer, engulfing the heavens and the earth.

As the waves subsided,

Zhou Xuan saw a majestic, mountain-like giant hand standing above the ocean.

Around the giant hand, the sound of chanting sutras resonated.

"The Ancient Buddha?"

Zhou Xuan immediately recalled the name,

remembering Yun Ziliang once speaking of the "Ancient Buddha,"

how Yun Ziliang claimed that the Ancient Buddha’s first descent occurred at Snow Plain Prefecture’s Zhuanlun Snow Mountain. Back then, it manifested as a mountain-like giant hand, and anyone who approached it would hear the chants of Buddha.

"So this is the Ancient Buddha?"

Zhou Xuan found it hard to believe. In the storyteller’s tales—where a human-headed, goat-bodied monster stole the head of the Ancient Buddha, and Alien Ghosts buried an "eye" within the Buddhist Temple—the human world’s flames were extinguished forever afterward.

In those tales, the Ancient Buddha hardly seemed like a villain, but now, as the Ancient Buddha manifested, it was clearly allied with the Three-headed Stone Buddha.

As the Buddhist chants resonated,

Peng Hou’s body rapidly healed, and the Three-headed Stone Buddha had yet to complete its descent. However, its visible Dharma Body knelt toward the giant hand,

and in the sky, golden Ancient Buddhist script materialized.

The runes grew larger in the wind, dyeing the sky gold. Each rune plunged effortlessly into the ground, piercing through the Heavenly Ghost Map.

What had moments ago required the Tree Clan’s collective might to counter—the Heavenly Ghost Map—now seemed pitifully fragile.

"Great Heavenly King, though I have failed to perform adequately, your sudden appearance will surely draw Jing Country’s..."

The Three-headed Stone Buddha kowtowed to the giant hand, beginning to plead for its departure,

and only then did Zhou Xuan realize—the giant hand was not the Ancient Buddha.

"It is called the Great Heavenly King? That doesn’t sound like the ultimate power behind the Stone Buddha. There’s likely an even greater presence beyond this giant hand."

From the Heavenly Dome above came the sonorous sounds of massive bells, akin to a warning toll echoing for all to hear.

Across the Jing Country Continent, a terrifying Buddha hand appeared, exuding a presence far mightier than the Three-headed Stone Buddha’s, shaking the very fabric of this realm.

The descent of the Three-headed Stone Buddha hadn’t caused a significant stir, failing to alarm Jing Country’s other divine beings.

But the emergence of this giant hand triggered Jing Country’s alarms.

"It has finally come. Zhou Xuan, it is time for me to descend."

Suddenly, a low voice echoed from within Zhou Xuan’s body.

This voice was one he was intimately familiar with, having heard it when he ascended during the two-incense ritual and shattered the Nuomian.

It was the Nuo God.

The true Nuo God was preparing to descend into Zhou Xuan’s body.

"At last? Nuo Family’s ancestor, have you been awaiting this Great Heavenly King all along?"

Zhou Xuan felt increasingly puzzled.

He had traveled three hundred years back in time, yet the Nuo God from three hundred years prior uttered the words "at last," as though it was not a Nuo God of this era.

As he contemplated this—he began piecing together possibilities.

His time-travel had been dictated by the Blood Well’s divination, and the "Living Person Rope" he had entered the Blood Well with was crafted by the Nuo God using Black Water to refine Bai Gu Monk.

Essentially, his journey back in time was entirely orchestrated by the Nuo God and the Blood Well’s intent.

This entire time-travel sequence was but a trap,

A joint scheme by the Nuo God and the Blood Well,

and every scheme must have a target.

Certainly, the prey that the Nuo God and Blood Well sought was none other than the "Great Heavenly King" amidst the ocean encompassing Peng Town!

"I understand now. In Jing Country’s original history, the Great Heavenly King’s manifestation did not occur. The Nuo God and the Blood Well guided me to three hundred years prior, specifically to alter history and make the Great Heavenly King appear in this timeline!"

Having realized this, Zhou Xuan agreed to the Nuo God’s descent.

The Nuo God’s combative, unyielding aura instantly flooded Zhou Xuan’s body.

That infinite sense of power—the same as he had felt during the "Heavenly Gods Divination" ritual—returned in full force.

Immediately following this, another deep voice arose from within him: "I will descend." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Zhou Xuan recognized this voice as belonging to another entity opposing the Great Heavenly King, though its origins were unclear.

Yet, as long as it sought to challenge the Great Heavenly King, he welcomed its descent.

Upon nodding his approval, tree-shaped markings appeared on Zhou Xuan’s skin, spreading from his arms to his chest, and from his chest to his abdomen.

The markings formed the image of a Ginkgo Tree.

"So the entity that just descended was none other than Mingjiang Prefecture’s alternate Ancestor Tree—the Ginkgo Ancestor Tree."

Both the Nuo God and the Ginkgo Ancestor Tree had now descended into Zhou Xuan’s body.

In that moment, Zhou Xuan began to understand the source of his strength—his spiritual space, infinitely vast.

For the Tree Clan to facilitate the descent of three divine beings, they had sacrificed twelve high-level incense-burning clansmen to create blood vessels as containers,

yet Zhou Xuan alone managed to bear the will of both the Nuo God and the Ginkgo Ancestor Tree.

And the experience wasn’t over yet,

as the blood-red whirlpool of the Blood Well beneath Zhou Xuan’s feet enveloped him like a suit of blood-soaked armor.

With the Nuo God, Blood Well, and Ginkgo Ancestor Tree simultaneously infused into him, Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but feel a thrill—a rush of excitement. For all the battles he had fought in Jing Country, there had never been a fight quite as opulent as this.

"Zhou Xuan, strike once and shatter the Great Heavenly King."

The Nuo God instructed Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan nodded with force, his instincts for battle roaring to life...

ps: Brothers, here comes a major update. Mwah!"
