Chapter 251: Chapter 250: As Long as I Kill the Two of You, All Problems Will Be Perfectly Solved

As Chu He shot toward the crater like an arrow from a bow,

Gao Liceng, Nalan Fengshan, and Yumizakura also flashed past like three bolts of lightning,

swiftly arriving at the crater’s edge and peering anxiously into its depths.

Gao Liceng and Nalan Fengshan stared in bewilderment at the face that had materialized from thin air, completely clueless as to who this person was.

But Yumizakura was different. She recognized him with a single glance.

It was Brahma Heaven!

His form was bizarre. He had four heads, four faces, and four arms.

Compared to Shiva, Brahma Heaven’s appearance was rather unusual. His hands were empty, holding no weapons.

Nalan Fengshan scratched his head and asked curiously, "Why does the head Shiva’s holding look just like the faces on Brahma Heaven’s four heads?"

Yumizakura lifted her chin slightly and replied at a leisurely pace, "That’s a long story.

In the mythology of the White Elephant Empire, Brahma Heaven originally had five heads.

Once, Vishnu asked Brahma Heaven who the supreme creator of the universe was.

Brahma Heaven declared without a moment’s hesitation that he was the creator,

and brazenly proclaimed that Vishnu ought to worship him.

These words from Brahma Heaven directly infuriated Shiva.

You must understand, in Shiva’s mind, he was the true sovereign creator of the universe.

In his fury, Shiva transformed into Parava and lopped off Brahma Heaven’s fifth head."

Judging by her answer, Yumizakura’s knowledge of the White Elephant Empire’s mythology was indeed profound.

Just then, a faint smile appeared on Brahma Heaven’s face. He looked at Shiva, his voice soft yet filled with an indescribable majesty. "Would you please return my head to me?"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Shiva slowly raised his arm.

The head he was holding seemed to answer a summons. It shot out, traced an arc through the air, and landed flawlessly back upon Brahma Heaven’s body.

The instant the head made contact with his body, a powerful and mysterious energy erupted from Brahma Heaven, spreading outward like a surging tide.

Brahma Heaven’s entire aura began to skyrocket, like a volcano on the verge of eruption—repressed, yet brimming with power.

"All that is known awakens with the dawn."

Brahma Heaven spoke softly, that same smile still playing on his lips.

The five faces on his five heads moved like puppets controlled by a single force, their five mouths opening simultaneously to speak the words in unison.

As soon as the words were spoken, a miraculous phenomenon occurred.

The brilliant, brocade-like afterglow that filled the sky vanished in an instant, as if obeying a silent command.

In its place, the soft, clear light of dawn slowly began to illuminate the sky.

Gao Liceng instinctively raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

The hands on its face pointed unmistakably to 12:00 PM sharp. Yet when he looked up, the sky was filled with the pale white light seen only at the crack of dawn.

All because of that single sentence from Brahma Heaven, the sky had once again taken on this bizarre, unnatural appearance.

"Renounce the desire for sensory gratification, live unburdened by wants, cast aside the notion of possession, and extinguish the false self. Only then can true peace be attained."

Brahma Heaven’s voice seemed to echo from the distant horizon.

As his voice faded, the worlds of Gao Liceng, Nalan Fengshan, and Yumizakura were instantly plunged into chaos.

In an instant, an invisible, giant hand seemed to have ruthlessly stripped them of all their senses.

Their eyes were shrouded in a thick darkness; no matter how wide they forced them open, they saw only an endless void.

It was as if their ears were stuffed with soundproof cotton, completely blocking out all external noise. The silence was terrifying.

They lost all perception of their own location, with no idea where they were. Everything around them seemed to have dissolved into a nonexistent void.

Their sense of smell was sealed by an invisible lock, unable to capture even the strongest scent in the air.

Their tongues also lost the ability to discern flavor, their taste buds having fallen into a deep slumber.

This sudden change threw the three of them into a state of utter panic.

They were like lambs lost in the dark, their hearts filled with terror.

Just as Chu He was about to make a move, he glanced back.

His brow furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with confusion. He couldn’t understand what had happened to them.

Panic was clearly written on their faces—a helplessness that seemed to spring from the depths of their souls.

They reached out like blind people, fumbling about. Their arms flailed frantically in the air as their fingers searched for anything they could touch.

Although the three of them were standing quite close to each other,

bizarrely, no matter how hard they tried to reach out and touch one another, they were unable to make contact. It was as if a transparent, insurmountable barrier stood between them.

Gao Liceng, Nalan Fengshan, and Yumizakura opened their mouths, lips trembling, letting out silent screams that never managed to escape their throats.

Chu He thought to himself, ’Renounce the desire for sensory gratification... Could that one sentence have stripped them of all their senses?’

His gaze, sharp with inquiry and vigilance, slowly turned toward Brahma Heaven.

Brahma Heaven’s face, which had borne the serene smile of one in complete control, flickered with surprise when he saw that Chu He was completely unaffected. "You’re unharmed," he said softly.

Shiva’s icy gaze also fell upon Chu He. His voice was just as cold, devoid of any warmth. "This one’s soul is not simple. It must be destroyed."

Brahma Heaven nodded slightly in agreement. "You are right."

’Soul?’

Chu He’s keen ears caught that key word from Shiva’s lips.

He suddenly understood. Turning back to look at Gao Liceng, Nalan Fengshan, and Yumizakura, he said, "So you didn’t sever their senses directly. You blinded their souls.

That’s what threw their perception of the outside world into disarray, as if their brains were making faulty judgments.

For example, if they touched something ice-cold, their brains would register it as scalding hot, and their bodies would react accordingly based on that false signal.

After all, the human body is controlled by the brain, and ultimately, by the soul."

Brahma Heaven still wore that same gentle smile,

but upon closer inspection, a hint of killing intent had subtly crept into it,

like a violent undercurrent hidden beneath a calm sea—dangerous and deadly.

SWOOSH!

"If I just kill the two of you, all of this will be over."

Chu He thrust out his hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword appeared.

Instantly, the Xuanyuan Sword began to glow with a blinding light.

Dazzling Power of Thunder and Lightning writhed across the blade like silver serpents, CRACKLING loudly.

At the same time, golden True Sun Fire erupted from the blade, its flames searing hot.

The lightning and fire intermingled, suffusing and coalescing around the Xuanyuan Sword. Then, with a single swing, they transformed into a storm of platinum-colored leaves.

The leaves swept down into the crater with the ferocity of a blizzard.

The sight was spectacular. Wherever the leaves passed, space itself was shredded to pieces.

In the blink of an eye, a surging tide of platinum leaves engulfed the area where Shiva and Brahma Heaven stood.

"He who holds great knowledge of the Lord of All Creation may consume anything that exists."

Brahma Heaven’s expression remained calm as he unhurriedly opened his mouth.

As he did, lotuses radiating a holy light erupted from his mouth.

The lotuses were exquisitely beautiful, their petals glistening with crystalline dewdrops. Each petal looked as if it were carved from the purest jade.

However, faced with the overwhelming, destructive power of the platinum leaves,

these lotuses were as fragile as paper, instantly torn to shreds and dissipating into motes of light.

Then,

Brahma Heaven and Shiva’s vision was completely overwhelmed by the deluge of platinum leaves.

Before they could react further, they both felt an intense, tearing pain assail their bodies.

It was a pain like a thousand sharp knives slicing into them simultaneously, a pain that cut to the bone and seared the very soul.

This time, Chu He had held nothing back,

pouring every ounce of his power into this single strike!
