Godslayer: You get two at the start, Supreme Divine Ruins.

Chapter 354 The Brutal Battle Pass

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, then I shall take my leave first. Once I have settled everything, I will completely eradicate Cthulhu and utterly separate you from the Great Dao!" Lin Xiao's voice echoed in the void, but his figure gradually dissipated.

Hongjun gazed in the direction where Lin Xiao had disappeared, sighed deeply, and a complex look flashed in his eyes: "I hope you really can do it... If even you are powerless, then Azathoth, who has fused with the power of the Primordial World, is probably difficult for even Lin Qiye to resist. He... needs help."

……

Lin Xiao stood in the center of the "Origin" world, holding the Chaos Pearl and the Creation Jade Disc tightly in his hands.

The two treasures trembled slightly in his palms, as if sensing the impending destiny. His gaze was as deep as an abyss, piercing through the barriers of time and space, looking directly at the essence of this world.

"It's time," Lin Xiao murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the vast "Source" world, carrying an unwavering resolve.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind and spirit completely merging with the "Source" world.

In an instant, the entire "Source" world seemed to come alive, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged wildly, transforming into countless streams of light that converged towards Lin Xiao.

His body seemed to become a bottomless black hole, devouring all the energy around him.

The Chaos Pearl and the Creation Jade Disc gradually melted in his palm, transforming into two dazzling lights.

One was the starlight of the Chaos Pearl, deep and vast, as if containing an endless universe; the other was the Dao patterns of the Creation Jade Disc, profound and mysterious, as if carrying the most fundamental laws of heaven and earth.

Two beams of light intertwined in Lin Xiao's palm, gradually merging. His body trembled slightly, as if bearing immense pressure, yet his gaze grew ever more resolute, as if declaring to the world that he would never back down.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the entire "Source" world seemed to tremble. The Chaos Pearl and the Creation Jade Disc completely merged, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

Within the pillar of light, countless stars were born and vanished, mountains and rivers took shape and collapsed, as if enacting a story of the birth and death of the universe.

Lin Xiao's body was enveloped by the pillar of light, and his divine sense expanded infinitely at this moment, as if he had merged with the entire "Source" world.

He sensed every trace of spiritual energy, every wisp of life, and even the trembling of every grain of dust in this world.

“This is… the true ‘source’,” Lin Xiao murmured, a hint of understanding in his voice.

His divine sense swept across the entire "Source" world and discovered that this world was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The originally chaotic world gradually became clear, the stars were arranged in an orderly manner, the mountains and rivers took solid shape, and the spiritual energy flowed continuously.

This world is evolving towards becoming a complete universe.

A hint of relief flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. He knew that all the price he had paid was worth it.

The power of the Chaos Pearl and the Creation Jade Disc has been completely integrated into the "Source" world, becoming the foundation of this world.

However, at that moment, his divine sense suddenly detected a strange fluctuation.

The fluctuations came from the edge of the "Source" world, as if something was stirring the "Source" world.

Lin Xiao's gaze turned cold, and with a flash, he appeared at the edge of the "Source" world. His gaze pierced through layers of void, looking towards the source of the fluctuations.

His figure appeared incredibly majestic amidst the spiritual energy of the "Source" world, as if he had merged with this world.

The power of the Chaos Pearl and the Creation Jade Disc flowed within his body, transforming into boundless pressure that intimidated any being that dared to approach.

“Black Goat…Hell God Kingdom…” Lin Xiao murmured, his tone tinged with coldness, “I never expected that you, who have fused with the power of the Primordial World, could actually fight to a draw with Yuanshi Tianzun and Nyx.”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao's figure vanished abruptly. The next moment, he appeared high in the sky above the Great Xia border battlefield in the Godslayer World.

Below, an endless stream of creatures of the Ke type surged into the territory of the Great Xia, only to be firmly blocked by the Great Xia's ten major war passes.

On the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, ten major war passes stand majestically, like ten insurmountable mountains, straddling the line between the Cretan creatures and human civilization.

Each pass soared into the clouds, its walls as thick as mountains, their surfaces covered with ancient runes, shimmering with a faint yet resilient light.

These runes are defensive formations painstakingly inscribed by the Great Xia God, embodying countless wisdom and power.

However, the scene below the pass is quite different.

The tide of Croesus creatures surged like a black torrent, relentlessly assaulting the fortress's defenses.

Their shapes were twisted and bizarre, some resembling giant tentacle monsters, waving countless sticky tentacles, each strike causing the city walls to tremble.

Some are monsters made up of countless eyeballs, their eyes flashing with a scarlet light, as if they can devour all life.

Others resembled rotting behemoths, their bodies covered in pustules and cracks, emitting a nauseating stench.

"Roar--!"

A deafening roar came from the wave of Croesus creatures, and a massive black goat charged out of the darkness.

Its body was as huge as a mountain, and its four hooves pounded the ground, causing the earth to crack.

It has countless twisted horns on its head, each horn shrouded in black mist that seems capable of corroding everything.

"The monster is coming! Everyone, prepare to fight!" On the pass, a general in armor roared, his voice filled with determination.

On the city walls of the pass, countless soldiers stood ready in battle. Their eyes held no fear, only unwavering resolve. They knew that behind them lay the lives of billions of people from the Great Xia Dynasty; there was no way for them to retreat.

"Fire!"

At the general's command, countless cannonballs rained down like a storm. Each cannonball glowed with spiritual energy, capable of piercing the bodies of creatures of the Ke type. However, the monsters seemed endless; as one group fell, more surged forward.

"boom--!"

A gigantic tentacle slammed down on the city wall, the runes flashing intensely as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

The soldiers on the city wall were shaken and staggered, but they quickly got back up and continued fighting.

"Hold on! We must not let them break through the defenses!" The general's voice echoed across the battlefield, but his heart was heavy. He knew that the strength of these Croesus creatures far exceeded their expectations, and the defenses of the pass alone would likely not hold for long.

Just then, a deep humming sound suddenly came from above the pass. Immediately afterwards, a huge beam of light descended from the sky, directly slamming into the wave of Croesus creatures.

"boom--!"

Wherever the beam of light passed, the creatures of the Kelvin type were instantly reduced to ashes. The black goat let out a painful roar as it was struck by the beam of light, staggered back several steps, and much of the black mist around its body was also dispersed.
