Bang!
Blinding cold light erupted, illuminating the entire night.
Dust billowed, and the ground caved in.
Thanatos's scythe strike was truly ferocious, cleaving a massive crack in the ground.
He was furious, for as the God of Death, to be bitten by a dog was a profound humiliation.
Anubis dodged the blow, but emerged covered in dust and with fur flying, looking utterly disheveled.
"It's you, Anubis, you little brat, daring to bite me. Are you seeking death?"
Thanatos recognized Anubis with his Death God's Eyes, noticing the divine radiance flowing from the dachshund, allowing it to evade his attack. His eyes blazed with fury.
He was quite surprised, as the ancient Egyptian gods always followed their lead, acting like junior siblings.
How could this Anubis have gone mad and dared to attack him?
Unable to tolerate Thanatos's condescending demeanor, Anubis snorted, "So what if I bit you? I'll break every bone in your body."
As it spoke, it glanced back at Ji Mo's retreating figure, feeling it was time to prove its worth, as Ji Mo had once said he didn't keep freeloaders.
"Heh, very well. My great scythe has not tasted divine blood for a long time and is already parched. Tonight, you shall be my first victim."
Thanatos roared, black mist surging behind him as four massive, ink-black wings materialized.
As the wings flapped, countless black arcs of electricity coursed through the air, and terrifying divine might swept out in all directions like a tidal wave.
Rumble...
Lightning crackled. Thanatos raised his scythe, moving with lightning speed, attacking Anubis like a storm sweeping through fallen leaves.
Black lightning continuously exploded. Where the scythe passed, the void cracked with dense fissures.
Anubis's scalp tingled, and it instinctively wanted to turn and flee, but it stood its ground, choosing to confront the attack head-on.
As Ji Mo's loyal hound, it could not falter; it had to fight back.
It frantically channeled its divine power, unleashing its innate divine ability.
Instantly, a gale erupted, sand and stones flew, and terrifying tornadoes formed, shattering the clouds.
"Kill..."
Anubis, wild and peerless, charged forward.
Thump...
The void shattered as their divine powers clashed, creating ripples.
Thanatos and Anubis engaged in a fierce battle, and the entire area became a maelstrom.
Their figures were invisible in the void, their speed too great.
Only faint flashes of rainbow-like sword energy, dense as rain, and distorted void from their flailing claws could be seen, with explosions occurring incessantly.
Divine blood splattered, and both began to sustain injuries.
Thanatos possessed superior strength, but Anubis fought with the desperation of someone with nothing to lose, confident that Ji Mo would not heartlessly abandon it in its hour of need.
The drifting divine blood that fell to the ground vanished in an instant.
An entity of unimaginable power was secretly absorbing this divine blood.
As Thanatos and Anubis fought, their blood flowed more and more freely, neither noticing the unfolding event.
Ji Mo, who only wanted to go home and sleep, sensed something amiss.
His eyes could perceive everything. He saw countless blood-red threads spreading beneath the ground, converging in a pile of rocks not far ahead.
Driven by curiosity, he followed the threads, overturned the large stones, and unearthed a rusty circular disk from beneath the ground.
Faintly, six holes could be seen on the disk, resembling six gateways connecting to unknown realms.
Ji Mo unceremoniously spat, then began to rub the disk vigorously with his sleeve.
He had a hunch that this was an antique and would fetch a hefty price.
Indeed.
As Ji Mo rubbed, the rust on the disk slowly peeled away, revealing vibrant colors.
In an instant.
The disk vibrated violently, glowing with multicolored light, spewing countless runes, and emitting a brilliant radiance.
Heavenly Dao, Human Dao, Asura Dao, Hell Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Animal Dao.
A total of eighteen ancient characters appeared consecutively, and simultaneously, six ancient wells emitting light of different colors materialized in the void.
The six luminous wells cast brilliant beams of light, all focused on Ji Mo.
Chaotic energy permeated the air, spacetime forces churned incessantly, and the river of time materialized, spanning across Ji Mo's head.
Threads of heavenly secrets intertwined, and countless scenes flickered, flashing through Ji Mo's pupils.
At this moment, Ji Mo stood dumbfounded, his pupils dilated, his expression suddenly becoming extremely solemn.
Slowly, his expression turned one of profound sorrow and despair, tears welling up in his eyes and flowing down his cheeks.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation, could this be that Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk?"
Thanatos's breathing quickened as he noticed the commotion.
He never imagined he would discover the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk under such circumstances.
Anubis couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of Master, so cunning. He actually used my and Thanatos's divine blood to find such a treasure."
It believed that all of this was Ji Mo's plan.
Although it had lost nearly half its blood, it felt it was all worth it as long as it could prove its value.
"Damn it, you plotted against me?"
Hearing this, Thanatos was filled with righteous indignation, believing he had been manipulated.
However, he quickly became ecstatic. Wasn't this a case of finding something you weren't looking for?
Ji Mo finding the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk was essentially paving the way for him; it was a free gift.
"Give it here."
Thanatos repelled Anubis with a single blow, his figure flickering repeatedly as he appeared before Ji Mo.
His scythe sliced through the void, carrying rolling deathly aura, and swung towards Ji Mo's throat.
His intention was to kill and seize the treasure.
As long as he eliminated Ji Mo, the treasure would belong to Thanatos.
However.
The scene of blood splashing and heads rolling that Thanatos had envisioned did not occur.
A fair and slender hand appeared, precisely catching the blade of the God of Death's scythe.
This divine weapon, which had reaped countless lives, was actually caught barehanded.
"Thanatos, you're really thick-headed, coming here to court death."
Anubis wore a look of schadenfreude, believing that once Ji Mo made a move, Thanatos was doomed.
At this moment, Ji Mo's main consciousness had awakened.
His eyes shimmered with crystalline tears, still not having emerged from the despairing and sorrowful emotions.
Were the scenes he witnessed glimpses of the future?
His heart felt incredibly heavy. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk seemed to have captured heavenly secrets, predicting future events.
The apocalypse was coming, and all realms were perishing.
The myriad stars lost their light, all life in the heavens was extinguished, and the era came to an end.
He could vaguely see the shattered Sky City falling apart, drifting in the dark universe.
He saw a being radiating nine-colored light pinned to the sun.
He also saw the Tai Chi diagram turn to dust, an ancient Taoist robe stained with blood, and it seemed Laozi had also fallen.
What broke his heart the most was seeing Bao'er Jie lying in a pool of blood, her life extinguished...
