The flames of Nirvana rose once more, and the Vermilion Bird Venerate fell onto the desolate earth. The battered body healed as if it were new, and a cold killing intent surfaced again in the hollow eyes.

It was the Ancient Divine Language of the deity, requiring no personal utterance of the ancient syllables.

It simply activated whenever a threat was detected!

This power named Nirvana was not merely about rebirth.

It was a transformation of life!

With each transformation of the Vermilion Bird, the deity grew ever stronger!

At this moment, Gu Jianlin’s two shadows overlapped unexpectedly, with the Ancient God masks of the Candle Dragon and the Vermilion Bird occupying the left and right of the body, uttering an ancient syllable!

This was a capability once used by Gu Jianlin during the battle in Shinjuku, an ultimate fusion of two Ancient Divine Languages, uniquely one of his own lethal moves. This time, it broke through the shackles and limits of power through Nirvana, collapsing the cause and effect of the entire world!

The angry dragon roar and the violent bird’s cry overlapped together!

As the Vermilion Bird Venerate awoke, a peerless shadow swiftly circled to the deity’s left, delivering a sudden slash through time and space!

With a thunderous crash, time and space shattered, but the blade halted half a foot before the deity.

No progress made.

For the hand of the Candle Dragon’s split holding the blade was already confined by a vast spiritual thought.

The Vermilion Bird’s split lifted a hand and clenched it forcefully.

The enraged spiritual thought exploded, liberating the Candle Dragon’s split hands.

The Vermilion Bird Venerate seized the opportunity to slip by them, launching a surprise attack on the main body!

Yet, Gu Jianlin had already released his hands, allowing the Qilin Wedge to plunge into the barren earth, penetrating the parched wasteland inch by inch, plunging towards the depths of the planet!

His eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow, as if asleep within the abyss.

In the faint illusion, Lian and Wang respectively held his hands, teaching him step by step how to wield the Third Power, embedding the Qilin Wedge of the Third Supreme into the heart of the Ancestor Star, unleashing an all-encompassing force to obliterate the Candle Light Divine Tree!

This was also what Gu Jianlin desired.

If you so crave the power of Candle Light, then I will destroy it!

Perhaps in the midst of it all, there was indeed destiny.

Gu Jianlin ultimately walked this path.

He was the Supreme of the Third Power, born to destroy it all.

Now, he possessed the mighty force of the three Supremes of Candle Light, mastering the Third Supreme Power.

Naturally, he was also the nemesis of Candle Light.

But mastering the supreme comes with a cost.

No matter how powerful Gu Jianlin was, he only possessed the Seventh Rank spirituality at present. The price of forcibly awakening the Third Supreme was the bleeding from all seven orifices, the divine body nearly collapsing.

But he didn’t care.

Whether to guard or destroy, he must do it. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The flames called anger, once ignited, would never extinguish until the ends of time.

With Gu Jianlin’s roar, the desolate Ancestor Star was completely swallowed by the void mist, the Gravity Field seemingly reversed. Countless fragments and dust floated in the air, with red-hot magma emerging from eerie cracks, rising and falling around him.

The void mist condensed into a throne of steel, bearing the black Qilin.

The black Qilin was actually disintegrating!

Amidst terrifying rumbling, the majestic body of the Qilin collapsed inch by inch, the golden blood flowing on this already dead star, piercing to the deepest depths of the planet.

Millions of years ago, Qiongqi Venerable descended to Earth, using self-disintegration to create a magnificent biological chain singlehandedly; the ultimate goal was to devour the Primordial and replace it.

Millions of years later, Gu Jianlin became the Qilin Venerable, trying through self-disintegration to destroy this ancient Ancestor Star alone, utterly annihilating the Candle Light Divine Tree!

The void mist surged like a mad tide, even the Vermilion Bird Venerate had to flap its wings to hover mid-air. The deity raised its right hand, the crystal-clear like jade skin unexpectedly aging and decaying!

Deep annual ring-like patterns emerged on the deity’s palm, and nails started turning yellow.

This was not a good omen.

For the deity was degenerating!

Moreover, the Golden Divine Tree rooted in the Ancestor Star vibrated violently, an ancient soul seemed angrily roaring from within, intertwining roots withering, the majestic noble trunk decaying, and the lush sacred crown shedding golden dust.

Just like leaves swirling upward in the wind.

With a crack, the Vermilion Bird Venerate’s Golden Divine Throne shattered, countless black lotuses withering.

The deity’s black hair scattered in the wind, rising and falling like a waterfall.

A trace of blood seeped from the corner of its lips.

For the Vermilion Bird Venerate had been the first to devour the Candle Light Divine Tree, merging its spirit into this towering divine tree; naturally, they shared glory and ruin alike.

Now that the Candle Light Divine Tree had suffered a severe blow, the deity was understandably injured as well.

"Is this your hatred?"

The Vermilion Bird Venerate wiped the blood from its lips, gazing far into the depths of the void mist at the young man, a hint of admiration in its eyes: "Truly a stubborn child."

At this moment, the deity seemed somewhat like that man from the past.

That is, Gu Ci’an.

Many years ago, when father and son nestled in that old rented apartment, a neighbor’s girl adopted a cat, which often cried out at night, troubling the neighbors around.
