When will gratitude and resentment come to an end?
Those guards saw it, and one by one they were frightened and hastily dodged. One of them, a black fog-like thing, was not quick enough to dodge and was caught up by the crack, letting out a mournful cry before disappearing.
"Kerman, why are you always at odds with me? After all these years, even the Pope of the Orthodox Church, Fortes, didn't pressure me like this. Don't think that I, Shiling, am really afraid of you."
"Xiling, when you killed my brother that year, it was destined that there would never be peace between us, so either you die or I perish."
"Alright, Kerman, let's settle everything here today. Only one of us can survive."
"Xilin, don't think that just because you have these rubbish followers, you can do anything to me. I'm telling you, next year's today will definitely be your doom."
The two men stopped talking and burst into an even more intense fight, making Huang Tianxuan's eyes dizzy, not knowing who was attacking whom or who had hit whom.
"Roar——"
"Ah——"
"Hiss——"
"Hiss——"
All sorts of sharp whistling sounds echoed in the void, all sorts of colored energies burst forth, forming a scene like clusters of fireworks.
Huang Tianxuan looked at all this and understood that if he were really in it, he would have been annihilated long ago; now he was like a bystander, which meant that this was someone else's memory, only he didn't know how it ended up in his own consciousness.
Suddenly, he became a little worried and didn't know if the consciousness of the owners of those two clusters of memories had also arrived here. They were so powerful that if they were here, he would definitely be pinched to death like an ant.
Thinking so, Huang Tianxuan hastily retreated backwards, wanting to leave this place, but was shocked to discover that he couldn't leave after all. His heart was filled with great fear and cold sweat flowed continuously.
Helpless, he could only watch from afar as everything unfolded here, listening to the sound of mountains crumbling and lands shattering, the void in his eyes constantly shattering and reassembling, the figures moving faster and faster, giving him a dizzying feeling.
It was unknown how long it took, but suddenly the distant place became quiet, and two figures stood far apart, confronting each other. But they were no longer as calm as when they started. Both of them had blood all over their bodies, their clothes were tattered and disheveled.
"Kerman, are you really going all out? Do you really think I don't dare kill you?"
"Xiling, are you grieving for those dead servants of yours? Today, no matter what, I won't let you leave this place. Only one of us can leave here alive."
"Alright, Kerman, today let's show the world who is truly the number one saint. Hmph—"
With a loud shout, a large number of undead servants appeared behind Shirin, with various forms and all of them were guys with tremendous energy surging on their bodies.
"Go, kill him." Xiling pointed at Kerman with his hand, and his army of undead spirits surged forward towards Kerman, among them many saint-level undead.
"Haha, Shirin, are you finally willing to bring out all the skills you've been holding back today? Come on, let's see who's afraid of whom."
Kerman yelled and shouted, his eyes flashing with a mad light, as he charged towards the army of undead, swinging the short sword in his hand, and every time he swung it, many undead fell from the sky.
But Shirin didn't feel a bit of heartache, only to see him quickly move around the circle of battle, swinging his hands in the air, drawing mysterious and unpredictable lines, bringing waves of terrifying energy.
Today, he also made up his mind to settle the score with Kerman here, so he didn't use the vengeful spirit to tie up Kerman and make a run for it like before.
"Haha, Shirin, all your servants are dead, now it's your turn——" As Kurman was crazily clearing the vengeful spirits in the sky, he rushed towards Shirin with a big laugh, but found his movements slowing down and deviating to one side.
He suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Xiling, and the space around him was sealed off by a magical array. A famous dark magic array - the Yin Ming You Luo Death Array - had been laid down.
Kerman suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he realized that not only could he not avenge his brother today, but he might also die here. However, his heart was extremely unwilling to accept this fate.
He was raised by his elder brother since childhood, but he could only watch as his brother died in front of him. The killer was right before his eyes, yet he couldn't avenge his brother's death.
Now, there is only one last resort left, that is to burn the soul, and use the self-destructive method of the soul to trigger a space explosion to perish together with the opponent. So, he did it without hesitation.
Although he has lived for over three hundred years, these three hundred years have been spent living in hatred, constantly striving for revenge without a single day of happiness.
Although he has become one of the top masters on the mainland, known as the most likely to reach the divine level, yet he can't even avenge his own brother's grudge, and is not happy.
Now, his wish is about to come true, and his heart has finally calmed down. He accumulates his energy while using the pearl on the short knife to rapidly and crazily absorb the spatial energy around him.
In this calm state of mind, Kerman's soul was burning fiercely and releasing a tremendous amount of energy, yet his face broke out into a smile.
"No good, he actually wants to self-destruct his soul."
Xilin's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly discovered something was off about Kerman, and an unspeakable fear gripped his heart tightly.
Just as Shirin wanted to escape far away, a massive energy beyond imagination descended from the sky, enveloping him and Kerman together.
Just as Kerman had put everything down in his heart and calmed down, he suddenly broke through his current realm and touched the threshold of the divine level.
However, at this time his soul had already burned up more than half of it, and he was not likely to survive anyway, so he simply added the energy he had just realized to the self-destructive energy.
"Boom——"
"Haha, Shirin, let's just die together then—"
"No... Ah..."
A mushroom cloud bigger than a nuclear explosion rose from the sky, a massive sound echoing across the entire continent. Suddenly, a small black hole appeared in the sky, emitting an aura of unspeakable terror, devouring everything in sight.
The massive shockwave reduced everything within thousands of miles to dust, and the towering mountain range below, over a thousand meters high, suddenly collapsed in their explosion, turning into a flat plain.
No, it wasn't flat either. In the very center of that place, there was a small hill that stood out, which didn't quite fit in with its surroundings, but soon disappeared in a flash of light.
The last scene Huang Tianxuan saw was Kelman and Xiling being blown to pieces in the explosion, Kelman let out a satisfied loud laugh, while Xiling screamed in terror, unwilling to give up, and finally they all disappeared into that small black hole.
