Thanatos stared, his jaw practically hitting the floor.
He had never imagined anyone could catch the Death Scythe with bare hands; even a God-King couldn't achieve that.
What kind of freak was this?
They said there were no more gods in Huaxia. Where did this guy come from? How could he be so terrifying?
"Ha..."
Thanatos roared, his voice like thunder.
He frantically channeled the divine power within him, pouring it into the Death Scythe without hesitation.
A dark aura surged skyward, the Death Scythe spitting out a chilling light, like a black dragon writhing and roaring.
Ji Mo narrowed his eyes, a cold smirk playing on his lips. Then, he tightened his grip.
*Bang!*
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
On the tough blade of the Death Scythe, a crack appeared. This crack then spread like a spiderweb, quickly covering the entire blade.
In Thanatos's disbelieving gaze, the Death Scythe shattered like broken glass, fracturing into countless pieces.
Anubis, watching from the sidelines, gulped and gasped.
Good heavens, to shatter a divine weapon with a single hand! One would need a Qilin arm cultivated for a million years to possess such divine strength.
His scalp tingled. He realized he had underestimated Ji Mo. This guy was more ferocious than the God King, his physical strength almost defying the heavens. It was too terrifying.
Thanatos stared at the divine weapon fragments scattered on the ground in horror, as if hearing his dead father's dying words again.
Indeed, ignoring the elders' advice leads to trouble.
If he had another chance, he would never have come here, not even if beaten to death.
He was petrified, his whole body trembling. He turned to flee for his life.
But Ji Mo simply delivered a swift slap.
Thanatos's head spun violently like a top, separating from his body. The soul fire burning in his eye sockets quickly dimmed.
He screamed, trying to call for Hades's rescue.
However, Ji Mo wasn't in the mood for a pincer attack. He delivered another slap.
Thanatos's head instantly flew into the sky, exploding into a shower of fireworks.
Ji Mo followed up with a kick, scattering Thanatos's skeletal frame and obliterating all remaining traces of him.
Thanatos, the God of Death, was no more.
Anubis clicked his tongue.
Gods had always been symbols of supreme authority, but to certain ruthless individuals, slaughtering gods was as easy as killing chickens.
A chill ran down its spine.
If Ji Mo were to go berserk one day, it might very well be the twilight of the gods.
"Don't waste these bones. Keep them for yourself to gnaw on."
Ji Mo spoke, as a reward for Anubis.
He lowered his head, fiddling with the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk in his hand. With a thought, he quickly returned to the Chun Tian Hua Hua Orphanage.
Anubis's mouth split into a grin that reached its ears, filled with elation.
The bones of the God of Death were imbued with countless divine substances. If it could absorb them completely, its strength would surely skyrocket.
It was quite surprised. Ji Mo was too generous, not even caring for a divine corpse, acting so extravagantly.
Being by such a master's side was truly blissful.
Unlike the accursed Set before, who only knew how to exploit it and was good for nothing else.
From this moment on, Anubis was completely and willingly devoted to Ji Mo.
Ji Mo returned to the Chun Tian Hua Hua Orphanage, beneath the Acacia tree.
The divine expression on his face had vanished, replaced by an excited glow.
With the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk in hand, he might be able to try and resurrect the Great Immortal Kong Xu.
Ji Mo took out the Xuanyuan Sword from the Moon God Ring. This sacred sword was also heavily scarred and cracked after the last battle.
However, its sword embryo material was extraordinary, and filled with immense faith power, it was slowly repairing itself.
Ji Mo planted the Xuanyuan Sword into the ground, then placed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk onto the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword. He then cast a spell, summoning the wisp of obsession of Great Immortal Kong Xu that remained within the Xuanyuan Sword.
He intended to use this wisp of obsession as a guide, leveraging the supreme power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to see if he could gather the scattered soul fragments of Great Immortal Kong Xu after his death.
"Return, return to your homeland. Brother Kong Xu, please come back..."
Ji Mo roared, simultaneously channeling the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk with all his might.
This chaotic treasure indeed possessed unfathomable power, erupting with brilliant light.
One beam of light after another shot into the sky, a total of six, forming a hexagram.
Then, it erupted with a blinding radiance like the sun, countless beams shooting out to various parts of the boundless universe, beckoning Kong Xu's return.
The winds and clouds changed, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and the entire Blue Star shuddered.
Li Er sensed it immediately and shivered.
"Who is activating the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk? It seems to be using forbidden power to summon departed souls."
Li Er's thoughts moved, and his body vanished from within Kunlun Mountain, appearing in the starry sky.
He gazed at the distant shimmering six-colored霞光, his old heart pounding.
"No way, how is this possible? It's the aura of my treasure."
Li Er's eyes instantly turned red. He never imagined he would still be able to detect a wisp of Great Immortal Kong Xu's aura.
Then, he raised his eyebrows, his expression one of utter disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
Because something even more incredible happened: he sensed Ji Mo's aura again.
"Mo Bao?"
Li Er's eyes welled up with tears. He rushed over at the fastest possible speed.
Large beads of sweat appeared on Ji Mo's forehead, his face pale.
He already had health issues, and now he was recklessly channeling the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, consuming immense energy.
But the result was disheartening. It seemed there were no longer any traces of Great Immortal Kong Xu in the world, and a force was interfering from the shadows. The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk had failed to bring anything back.
"My dear Mo Bao, it really is you."
Li Er's figure appeared. The moment he saw Ji Mo, tears flowed uncontrollably.
Thank goodness, his little Ji Mo was not dead; he had returned alive.
As he spoke, Li Er couldn't help but rush forward, wanting to hug him.
But Ji Mo ruthlessly stopped him with his hand. At this moment, he couldn't be disturbed.
"Are you trying to resurrect Kong Xu? It's useless. I've already tried. I couldn't find even a single fragment of Kong Xu's soul."
Li Er saw Ji Mo's intention at a glance and sighed.
He had already tried many methods, but all had ended in failure. He advised Ji Mo not to waste his effort and exhaust himself for nothing.
Ji Mo did not give up. He took out a shriveled blue seed and planted it beside the Xuanyuan Sword.
This was a seed of the Shore Flower, also known as Manjusaka.
Ji Mo had once made a wish to the Shore Flower, successfully allowing Bai Di to be reincarnated.
This time, he also hoped the Shore Flower would create another miracle.
*Puff...*
Ji Mo directly cut his wrist on the Xuanyuan Sword. Scarlet blood gushed out like a spring, dripping onto the seed.
This was irrigating with fresh blood to cultivate the Shore Flower.
Ji Mo's blood dripped crystal clear, like blood diamonds, containing unimaginable energy.
The Shore Flower seed frantically absorbed Ji Mo's blood, sprouting and growing at a visible rate. Its branches wound around the Xuanyuan Sword, entangling the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. Soon, clusters of blue leaves emerged.
"Your blood is quite something!"
Li Er exclaimed, even he felt that Ji Mo's blood was extraordinary and not simple at all.
The Shore Flower grew rapidly. The leaves quickly withered, and then a pink bud emerged, slowly blooming.
