I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 378: First Come, Last Serve

On the ancient and sinister altar, the figure on the throne appeared and disappeared in a ghostly manner.

After the owner of the tattered Demon Eater Lock vanished, the chain soared into the air and landed directly in the hands of the figure on the throne.

And its gaze fell upon the brother and sister standing on the plaza.

Now, the brother and sister, with dull expressions and empty gazes, stood on the altar like broken marionettes, motionless.

Even after witnessing the terrifying scene just now, the brother and sister remained completely unresponsive.

The figure on the throne glanced up and down, then suddenly uttered a surprised exclamation.

"Hmm? These false children, their mother… seems to still exist in this world?"

"How peculiar, how peculiar…"

"The Master of the Green State Cauldron, is it possible that he is in a state between life and death?"

"Perhaps, it was not appropriate to simply kill those two little demons so decisively…"

The tone of the figure on the throne carries a hint of regret.

However, at this very moment, a woman's indifferent voice suddenly resounded from outside the square.

"I am the Immortal of Martial Arts, the Lord of Kings! Lian Cangqing!"

"The Earthly Catastrophe has yet to arrive, what audacity do these misshapen fruits and rotten nuts have to cause trouble here? Do they truly think that the Celestial Desolation Realm lacks capable individuals? Take your wretched cauldron and get out of here!"

The ferocious and brutal voice was filled with a murderous aura and dominance.

Simultaneously, a figure emerged from the streets on the edge of the altar and headed straight towards it.

Within this city, suspended between reality and illusion, that woman completely disregarded the eerie altar before her and ignored any potential dangers, boldly charging forward.

She pays no heed to reason.

Witnessing this scene, the shadow of the throne revealed a hint of astonishment.

The sudden appearance of this woman went unnoticed until she revealed herself.

And as soon as the other party spoke, they exclaimed the two crucial pieces of information, 'the Celestial Desolation Realm' and 'cauldron'… In this aftermath of the Earthly Catastrophe, a desolate world where the saints have perished and the ancient gods have fallen, could it be that there is an entity that has survived the previous Earthly Catastrophe and now descends upon us?

The Immortal of Martial Arts, the Lord of Kings… Such audacious titles, why have I never heard of them before?

Could it be a presence even more ancient than itself?

The figure on the throne stirred slightly in thought, and the altar within the city silently shifted an inch.

Upon seeing Lian Cangqing rushing towards the altar, she took a single step and vanished completely upon reaching the altar.

When Lian Cangqing's footsteps landed, she found before her a decrepit ruins of a house. Within the ruins, there were remnants of crumbling walls, charred vegetation, depicting a scene of desolation and decay.

And as for that peculiar altar, and even the peculiar shadow of the king upon it, all vanished from her sight, never to be seen again.

The peculiar situation caused Lian Qingchu's brows to furrow, intensifying the anger on her face.

"Hiding yourself?!"

She smacked her palm against the railing next to her, yet despite the force of her strike, the railing remained completely motionless. Apart from the dark red moss that was shaken off from the railing, the seemingly shaky structure remained unscathed.

However, Lian Cangqing was not surprised by such a situation; it was evident that she had long understood the peculiarity of this city.

She turned around to take a look at her surroundings, then proceeded once again towards the central altar in the city.

It was evident that she had no intention of giving up at this point.

Meanwhile, on a street several miles away from this location, Lu Heng encountered an acquaintance.

On the street ahead, a burly man was vigorously smashing the door in front of him.

Amidst the surging spiritual energy, the power of each palm strike was sufficient to effortlessly wipe out a great city and demolish several mountains.

However, the continuously battered door remained unyielding.

Only the resounding roar of the man echoed in the distance.

"I refuse to believe that I, Ao Tianxing, cannot break down this door today… Proud Sky Battle World Technique, Second Move! Proud Sky Dragon's Roar!"

Roar!

"Proud Sky Dragon's Roar!"

Roar!

"Proud Sky Dragon's Roar!"

Roar!

"Dragon's Roar…"

The resounding dragon's chant continued, accompanied by the vigorous shouts of powerful men, and the thunderous roar of erupting aura spread far and wide.

However hard the man tried, the grand gate refused to show him any respect, impervious to his relentless strikes, remaining motionless.

Xiao Ai's facial expression showed a hint of astonishment.

"Does this guy really have no issues in his mind?" Xiao Ai murmured.

Lu Heng's mouth twitched slightly, leaving him dumbfounded-can even fools possess innate cultivation?

Lu Heng previously considered Ao Tianxing to be a bit simple-minded and lacking intelligence.

Now it appears that this Ao Tianxing not only lacks intelligence, but is utterly brainless!

And Lu Heng's and Xiao Ai's appearances, Ao Tianxing quickly noticed as well.

He immediately stopped his actions, stood up, spared the unyielding gate from any further assault, and turned his gaze towards the other end of the street. After a brief appraisal, he spoke.

"So it is the Senior Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain… I have heard of your esteemed reputation for a long time. I am Ao Tianxing, the renowned and independent figure traversing the heavens and earth! Never did I expect to encounter a venerable predecessor like you in this peculiar city. Truly, fate cannot be hindered."

Ao Tianxing said, "Since I have encountered a senior like you, it would be better to seize the opportunity rather than wait for an auspicious day. Please, let the esteemed senior accept my challenge as Ao Tianxing, in order to demonstrate the pinnacle of my path!"

Ao Tianxing spoke, his aura flowing around him, his expression eager and ready, only waiting for Lu Heng's nod to immediately rush over and engage in a fierce battle.

Such a brute, leaving Lu Heng helpless.

"Ao, my brother, don't you take a look at the peculiar and mysterious environment we find ourselves in? Yet, here you are, insisting on battling with me in this place… If we both end up injured, wouldn't it be in vain and serve as nothing more than a boon for others?"

In response to this, Ao Tianxing smiled proudly and said, "The Wolf God, rest assured! We will not both be injured. I will definitely hold back and ensure that you don't truly get hurt."

"Regardless, you are a revered senior in the martial world. Let's leave it at that, and no matter the outcome, I, Ao Tianxing, will not discuss today's contest with anyone, for I shall never tarnish your reputation."

Upon hearing Ao Tianxing's self-assured words, Xiao Ai furrowed her brows.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, remained calm and was not angered by Ao Tianxing's arrogant and boastful attitude.

He simply admired this fellow's courage. No wonder he dared to challenge Lian Cangqing. Leaving aside everything else, based solely on this inexplicable self-assurance, he truly deserved the title of being unparalleled.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Heng chuckled and said, "Challenging me is not completely out of the question, but your battle with Miss Lian Cangqing is not yet over. Now you have come to seek a fight with me… Is that really appropriate?"

"If you want to fight, you'll have to wait until you've finished your match with Miss Lian first."

Lu Heng casually shifted the focus and said, "After all, Miss Lian is an ancient predecessor. You just issued a challenge to her, haven't finished it yet, and now you've turned around and abandoned her to challenge me. Isn't that disrespecting Miss Lian? Therefore, I believe in following a proper order. Since Miss Lian is also in town, you should find her first, have a match with her, and then come to me afterwards."

Lu Heng smiled warmly and said, "Besides, I am here in the city and cannot escape in the short term… What are your thoughts?"
