Chapter 230 The Bridge of Helplessness! The Tragic Gods!
Chu Yang took a step forward, and the sun and moon rose on his shoulders.
An aura more terrifying than that of a god suddenly erupted!
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and the Golden Light Indestructible Divine Skill were merged and upgraded into the Dragon Elephant Bright King Technique, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Origin Martial True Body.
The light of the sun and moon shot into the sky, shattering the dark clouds overhead, and the surrounding chains of lightning collapsed one by one!
Suddenly, the world became clear.
The sunlight fell, bathing Chu Yang in its golden glow, making him appear like a god.
With fingers clenched together, wisps of crystalline ribbons spilled out from between them, as if grasping the stars.
The true form of Yuanwu is about to undergo an unimaginable evolution.
The key pass is the bloodline of the Three Sovereigns. As long as any one of them is integrated into the body, the Yuanwu True Body will undergo a complete transformation.
However, this requires breaking through the limiter so that Chu Yang's body can bear more bloodline factors.
Chu Yang, having entered the Origin Martial True Form state, brought immense pressure to the god; the god's clenched fist felt as if it were gripping his own heart.
The god's breathing became rapid. Since He became a "god" to this day, He had never encountered an opponent with such overwhelming pressure.
Chu Yang threw a punch, and the surrounding space made a "crackling" sound. The spectators suddenly felt their bodies become incredibly heavy, as if they were frozen in place, and could hardly move an inch.
Intense pressure also descends upon the gods, or rather, He is the one who bears the pressure!
The space around Him even showed signs of collapse, not the orderly disintegration of before, but a devastating destruction.
"You think you can kill me like this?"
The god snorted coldly, and the missing arm quickly healed. His body burst forth with dazzling light, and streaks of light, like the tails of comets, floated out from his body.
The space distorted for a moment, then returned to normal, and Chu Yang's fist pressure was also neutralized.
The light of the sun and moon collides with the flowing light of the universe, clearly dividing the world into two distinct realms.
The gods and Chu Yang are like the masters of their respective worlds!
Since the Hogyoku fused with all the abilities that enhance the physical body to create the Origin Martial True Body, Chu Yang has rarely used other abilities, because most enemies simply cannot withstand his punches.
Gods are an extremely rare minority.
but.
Catching just one punch doesn't prove anything...
"I hope you can stay stubborn forever."
Chu Yang revealed a kind smile, and in the blink of an eye, he threw several punches, the pressure of which transformed into an invisible flood that poured out.
Before the gods, the world lost its color, the surrounding scenery seemed frozen, and only terrifying waves surged forth.
He naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for death; his whole body shone brightly, like the dawn's light, and also carried the mysterious brilliance of the universe.
Two terrifying forces began to clash, causing space to tremble and hum, with far-reaching effects, forming black holes in the void and shattering everything around them.
Bang and the others were almost caught in the crossfire, but Genos detected the danger in advance and warned everyone to evacuate.
Vast swathes of mountainous land were sucked into the black hole and then crushed into fragments by the void.
The more punches Chu Yang unleashed, the more golden light gradually emanated from his body—a phenomenon produced by the Dragon Elephant King Technique.
While absorbing this martial art, Yuanwu's true form also carried some of its characteristics.
The light emanating from the deity grew ever brighter, so dazzling that no one dared to look directly at it, as if it were the destructive light emitted before the universe exploded.
The shockwaves caused by the space where the two were located gradually transformed from initial ripples into a raging tsunami.
The deity seemed to have entered another state.
The confrontation between Chu Yang and Him shifted from the physical level to the level of will.
A murmured voice sounded in my ear.
The onlookers in the distance felt a blinding light before their eyes. They instinctively tried to close their eyes, but they couldn't.
An unparalleled will descended upon the depths of their consciousness, causing a roar in everyone's minds.
Everything in the world seems to have been ruthlessly wiped away by someone's hand.
Mountains and rivers, flowers and birds, smells, colors, sounds... are all gradually disappearing.
Consciousness thus fell into oblivion.
Chu Yang was also plunged into endless chaos.
Things took an unexpected turn; he hadn't anticipated that the strongest aspect of divine power wasn't material power, but rather spirit and will.
The situation was somewhat similar to the first encounter between Chu Yang and Saitama. He used the Rinnegan to create an illusion space, inflicting mental damage on Saitama.
But now, the situation has reversed, and he is the one being manipulated.
The real person's spell was activated immediately, stabilizing Chu Yang's soul form and keeping him conscious, allowing him to think calmly.
How to retaliate remains an open question.
The domineering aura could not falter before the immense spiritual will of the god, and the illusion technique of the Rinnegan was also ineffective.
This is a completely different opponent from Saitama.
Just as Chu Yang hesitated, a sword light pierced through the mental barrier of the deity and rolled in, pulling Chu Yang back to the real world.
When Chu Yang opened his eyes again, a snow-white ancient sword floated in front of him, with cyan sword patterns engraved on its blade, and a mysterious celestial palace.
【Tianque】
Although it is a twin Zanpakuto with [Fengdu], [Tianque] is even more mysterious than [Fengdu].
The former was close to Bankai, while the latter hadn't even shown its release command yet. Over time, Chu Yang rarely used it anymore.
However, in the world of sorcery, [Tianque] has proven remarkably effective, demonstrating its ability to counter real-life sorcery.
Compared to the simple and brutal nature of Fengdu, Tianque's abilities are more peculiar. At this moment, it has pierced through the spiritual will of the gods, pulling Chu Yang back from another world.
Chu Yang reached out and gently stroked the sword. The [Heavenly Sword] immediately emitted a clear sword cry, carrying endless killing intent, as if it was asking its master to let it kill the enemy.
Another sword clash rang out.
Fengdu appears.
Two ancient swords, one black and one white, circled around Chu Yang, like the alternation of the sun and moon.
Wherever the snow-white flying sword went, the divine cosmic light vanished instantly, and the spiritual power carrying the divine's supreme will was also suppressed.
Bang and the others finally returned to reality, their bodies limp, sitting on the ground panting heavily.
They were just a hair's breadth away from being lost forever in that vast spiritual world.
When they looked up, Chu Yang was walking step by step toward the god.
Unstoppable!
A ripple appeared on the god's ethereal face, and a voice filled with shock and anger rang out.
"That's impossible!"
"How did you leave?"
"This power is beyond human control!"
"Could it be... that you... are also a god?!"
Protected by his twin swords, Chu Yang strode toward the god, his eyes blazing, his fists thrusting out relentlessly, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
The god's ultimate move was useless, so he could only take it head-on. The moment the fist landed on him, the power of the hundred dragons and a hundred elephants erupted with the destructive force to destroy everything.
A body as vast as the cosmos was shattered in an instant!
"You can't kill me!!!"
The divine aura is disappearing, not being extinguished, but being transferred; it seems to be using some kind of ability to escape.
How could Chu Yang do as he wished?
"Beneath the Yellow Springs, above the Netherworld, may you be forever condemned to Fengdu."
As the words of the initial interpretation of Fengdu resounded, a mysterious long bridge appeared in the void.
"What can be done!"
According to legend, in order to be reincarnated, one must first take a boat across the Yellow Springs, then pass through the Gate of Hell, arrive at Fengdu City, cross the Bridge of Helplessness, where Meng Po awaits.
Drinking the Meng Po soup made from the waters of the River of Oblivion will leave all the joys and sorrows of your past life on the Bridge of Helplessness.
Some say that the Bridge of Helplessness is a bridge to immortality, and that one can attain immortality by reaching its end.
But if you can't cross it, you'll be lost on the bridge forever, unable to find a way out.
The moment a deity steps onto the Bridge of Helplessness, he feels that he has lost connection with his original world.
No matter how he used his powers, he could not tear through space and go elsewhere.
He was locked up.
It was pitch black all around, with only the endless covered bridge beneath my feet visible.
"You think you can kill me like this?"
The god suddenly punched the bridge, and the cold, iron-like covered bridge only swayed slightly before returning to deathly silence.
A cold wind brushed against their faces, its whistling sound sending a shiver down the spines of even the gods, who should have no concept of temperature.
A chill ran through me.
"What the hell is this place?!"
"Where are you?!"
"Come out and face me!!!"
The god roared to the heavens, and his shattered body gradually recovered, once again radiating dazzling light.
Countless streaks of light flashed across the covered bridge, creating a dreamlike scene.
But beneath this beautiful scenery lurks a deadly trap.
The god, in a frenzy, wanted to destroy the covered bridge, but all that answered Him was endless coldness and silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the deity calmed down, regained his reason, and walked step by step on the endless covered bridge.
"This can't go on, I need to find a way out."
The deity moved forward steadfastly, his spirit and will were so strong that he could not be defeated by any difficulty.
The surroundings were quiet; apart from the sound of his own footsteps, there seemed to be no other sounds.
The god walked alone.
Time loses its meaning in this place.
No one knows how much time has passed, but the god's once upright body has become hunched over, and the body that once carried the stars has become like that of an ordinary person.
His determined gaze turned somewhat lost.
He continued walking...
until someday.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with endless confusion.
"who I am?"
Why am I here?
……
Through Fengdu, Chu Yang witnessed the process of the gods gradually losing their way, and suddenly a chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.
Even though Fengdu was a Zanpakuto that was one with his soul, such a scene still terrified him.
Time flows differently on the Bridge of Helplessness than in the real world, or perhaps time simply doesn't exist there at all.
Chu Yang saw the god aging continuously, and the time he spent on the Bridge of Helplessness was far longer than he felt.
So long that a god who has lived from ancient times to the present day will forget everything and become a walking corpse...
What would happen if I walked on it myself?
Chu Yang shuddered.
"The Bridge of Helplessness, Oh, the Bridge of Helplessness..."
"Past events are like fleeting clouds; even thousands of years are nothing more than a river of spring water flowing eastward."
After the gods disappeared, the world returned to normal.
The area around the House of Evolution was devastated, which evoked a sense of desolation.
The battlefield center between Chu Yang and the gods was especially desolate, filled only with an aura of death.
"Sir, is it over?"
Mia flew to Chu Yang's side immediately and checked him over to make sure he was not injured.
"Master! Are you alright?"
Sonic burst out, pushing Mia aside, and began to fuss over Chu Yang.
Bangu and Bomb were too old to react as quickly as the younger ones, so they could only follow behind and eat the leftovers.
Chu Yang could only respond to them with a smile.
Genos was in a daze, the earth-shattering battle he had just witnessed was still vivid in his mind; he had never seen a battle of that level in his life.
Saitama's strongest thought in his heart wavered slightly.
Genus deployed a large number of robots to handle the cleanup work and made preparations to expand the House of Evolution.
Since the surrounding area has been almost completely demolished anyway, instead of repairing it to its original state, it's better to carry out a major overhaul.
This battle yielded a large number of monster corpses, and extracting their bloodline factors alone will keep us busy for quite some time.
The gods won't die anytime soon; when they do, they'll become part of the laboratory's cold storage.
Back at the House of Evolution, Chu Yang went upstairs, where Saitama and King's epic battle had just concluded.
Saitama won every game by a narrow margin, playing with incredible intensity and exhilaration.
Chu Yang was also very happy. Since the bald man hadn't participated in the battle, his laboratory was safe.
He patted King on the shoulder and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
Upon hearing the words of condolence, King almost burst into tears; heaven knows how much pressure he was under.
Saitama almost realized he was holding back several times.
"It's so noisy outside today, what are you guys doing? Having a party?"
Saitama put down the controller and asked with a curious look.
"That's right, we're preparing a huge party to celebrate today."
Chu Yang smiled happily.
"What day is it today?"
Saitama scratched his head, racking his brains for a long time but still couldn't figure out what holiday it was today.
"A Day Without God".
Chu Yang said meaningfully.
Saitama was even more confused; he had never heard of a day without gods.
never mind!
If you don't know, you don't know. Anyway, the party is much more important than the festival itself.
Saitama sat back down, picked up the controller, and said, "Let's play one more game. Remember to call me when it's time to eat."
KING turned to look at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang said, "Just play a game with him. It's all over now."
Upon hearing this, KING was startled, and his eyes immediately became exceptionally sharp and icy cold!
He sat down silently and picked up the controller with a serious expression.
"Hey, hey, hey, you seem like a completely different person. It's just one game, you don't have to be like this, do you?"
Saitama swallowed hard, feeling that King was a little different than before.
KING remained silent, staring intently at the screen, exuding a murderous aura.
Saitama felt inexplicably uneasy and began the game with trepidation.
Chu Yang smiled, silently wished Saitama good luck, and then turned and left.
About half a minute later, Saitama's wailing came from the room.
He was instantly killed by KING at full health.
The second game begins.
I got wiped out again.
The third game...
The two fought until dusk, when the sun dipped below the mountains and the stars gradually began to shine.
The aroma of grilled meat interrupted Saitama's torment.
KING put down the controller, got up with a happy expression, and left to attend the barbecue party downstairs.
Saitama lay on the tatami with a blank stare, like a salted fish without dreams.
at the same time……
In a very distant place, a tall figure was constantly traversing space, seemingly searching for something.
"Why has the aura of the gods vanished?"
"I clearly trapped Him in another dimension, so how did He escape and disappear?"
"Damn it, I haven't figured out His secret yet!"
