Chapter 2044 - 75: Triumphant Return Home

The faint Netherworld Fire swirled like a sea, burning the nutritional pods left by the Storm God’s Throne to ashes!

This was the last hope the Storm God’s Throne left for himself!

Gu Shen was not worried about the Storm God’s Throne using the Red Dragon as a "threat," as he knew the Storm God’s Throne too well. It was an old conservative relic willing to abandon the church’s century-old foundation to "survive."

The Red Dragon was his only hope of survival.

Once he lost this last hope... he really would have nothing left.

He could, of course, use the Red Dragon to threaten Gu Shen.

But when the map is revealed and the dagger is shown, once this last card is exposed, he would have no way out.

The Storm God’s Throne could not bear the consequences of Gu Shen abandoning the "Red Dragon."

He was an extremely selfish person, so deep in his heart, he did not believe that someone who had cultivated to Gu Shen’s level would spare a divine throne-level enemy for a so-called "friend."

So... he could only hope that the Red Dragon would live and become a throne in a few years.

From this point of view.

From the moment Gu Shen boarded the starship, the fate of the Storm God’s Throne no longer belonged to him.

Unfortunately.

Gu Shen never made the "oversight" of committing a low-level mistake.

Gu Shen had checked the nutritional pods of the entire alloy base with Chi Huo... he did not give the Storm God’s Throne a single chance.

All Transcendent Lives where storm thoughts were stored.

Gu Shen exterminated them all.

...

...

Six hundred miles away.

The Red Dragon, trapped in the Tidal Water Cage, suddenly shuddered.

He felt the "shackles" in his Heart Lake suddenly open—

These shackles had bound him for four entire years!

For four years, he had never stopped feeling the pressure from the Storm God’s Throne. That person had given him a "rebirth" but also endless spiritual torment.

The taste of forsaking one’s soul was truly terrible.

If you ask whether the Red Dragon regretted it, his answer would be regret.

But if he were given the choice again—

He would still choose the same.

In his heart, many things were higher than his own life, such as the Ancient Literature Society, his beliefs, and those comrades who entrusted their lives to him. The weight of these things made him willing to give everything to protect them, even if it meant losing his own soul.

"Splash!"

The Tidal Water Cage shattered, leaving only a thin layer of flame enveloping the Red Dragon!

With the Storm God’s Throne’s death and the dissolution, the soul contract between the two naturally dissipated—

The Red Dragon felt his burdened shoulders suddenly lighten! The suffocating air in his chest cleared in an instant!

He couldn’t help but want to howl loudly!

After the soul contract shattered, that incomparably familiar feeling returned to his body.

He felt...

At this moment, his soul was as light as the wind.

It turned out that the taste of "freedom" was so sweet. He could go anywhere, not needing to heed others’ expressions, able to live on his own.

"Boom!"

The short sword in the Red Dragon’s hand emitted a vibrating sound!

He was ready to draw his sword immediately and join Rust Bone and Spring Plow’s battle...

But unfortunately.

The Rust Bone General did not give the Red Dragon a chance to intervene on the battlefield. With the Storm God’s Throne’s death, as the "crown bearer," the Spring Plow Saint naturally sensed it at the first moment, and the "Storm Spark Gift" he received became extremely weak in an instant... the divine throne’s death had a tremendous impact on the Angel Envoy.

At this moment, the Spring Plow Saint’s mind was violently shaken.

The Storm God’s Throne had fallen!

This exact news hit his Heart Lake like a heavy hammer!

In a battle between top powerhouses, even a momentary distraction can decide victory or defeat.

Moreover, this battle of the Destruction Origin was already dominated by the Rust Bone General, with the Spring Plow Saint only able to take a beating and defend continuously.

This moment’s distraction directly led to the end of the confrontation!

"Crunch!"

A crisp sound pierced the bone!

The bronze longsword stabbed into the Spring Plow Saint’s shoulder, with the Rust Bone General’s Destruction Origin following the sword tip like a viper, fiercely burrowing into the Spring Plow Saint’s body... Rust Bone, without hesitation, twisted the sword hilt, and poured the Destruction Origin stored up in his body into the Spring Plow Saint’s body!

"No... No!!!"

The Spring Plow Saint’s eyes turned crimson instantly.

He let out a sharp, hoarse roar, gripping the bronze sword with both hands, trying to pull it out.

But it was all too late.

Once the Destruction Origin entered the body... his fate could only be one of destruction.

With a bang!

The Spring Plow Saint’s body cracked inch by inch and finally exploded, with a devastating flower of flesh and blood blooming in the black void of the Old World.

The Rust Bone General withdrew the bronze sword.

"Sss..."

In the void, a wisp of Chi Huo gathered the scattered flower of blood and flesh.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Gu Shen had already returned here.

He clasped his hands behind his back, the Divine Concealment robe fluttering in the wind as he watched the scene of the Spring Plow’s fall, smiling and asking, "Mr. Rust Bone, how did this battle feel?"

"The feeling... was not bad."

Rust Bone expelled a deep breath of turbid air.

Back in the Five Continents, he had already wanted to spar with Spring Plow. He had been in seclusion in the Time Dojo for so long, if he didn’t move, his bones would truly rust!

"This guy was weaker than I expected..."

"So defeating him wasn’t anything great."

Rust Bone chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.

In his view, the Spring Plow Saint relied on the divine throne’s flame gift to comprehend this "origin power"... whereas he had comprehended it on his own. No matter what, he should win this fight!
