Chapter 1888 – Azathoth

　　Daxia.

　　Sword Lodge.

　　Monk Predestined stood in front of the door of the Sword Lodge with an incredibly grave expression.

　　”…… I see what you mean.” Zhou Ping’s voice came out from within the sword hut, “A sword, is it? Just point me in the right direction.”

　　The Fateful Monk raised his hand and pointed to a certain direction in the sky.

　　Inside the sword hut.

　　Zhou Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly, his right hand pinched his sword finger and lifted it up, gently pointing it towards the direction that Lin Qiye was pointing at ……

　　Mirror Image Strait.

　　Ding–!

　　The sword sounded, and the sea beneath Lin Qiye and Memorial’s feet instantly disappeared!

　　The endless seawater looked like it had been crushed into pale vapor, churning and dispersing the entire mirror image world, and the strait between the mainland and the island was vaporized, a hideous sword scar spreading rapidly through the nothingness!

　　The only channel that originally connected to the outside world was as if it had been chopped open hard, directly cutting a huge hole in this mirror world.

　　At the same time, the [Black Mountain Goat], which was rapidly chasing after Lin Qiye and the two of them, lurched, and the huge hooves that grew out of the dark clouds instantly shattered into a bloody mist, as if it had been chopped across by an invisible sword.

　　After the hooves were chopped off, the [Black Mountain Goat]’s speed immediately slowed down, and hundreds of scarlet pupils stared at the sword marks in the nothingness, emitting angry hisses.

　　A few grammatical gods stood outside the range of the sword’s sweep and luckily dodged a bullet, but even so, it was as if He recalled something from the wisp of sword intent, and for a moment, He didn’t dare to act rashly.

　　”Go!”

　　Lin Qiye didn’t hesitate and seized this moment with remembrance to directly rush towards that sword mark in the void, his figure disappearing without a trace.

　　Chopping off a few hooves of the [Black Mountain Goat], the sword Qi did not dissipate there, but continued to sweep forward, the churning waves of cubs were swept by the edge of the sword Qi, a scarlet path of blood bursting open in no time, straightening up and approaching the direction of the [Chaos]!

　　Between the broken starlight, a black figure covered in wounds slowly stepped out, as if He had sensed something, He turned back to look at the rapidly approaching scarlet trail, His eyes narrowing slightly.

　　He just stood calmly in place, one palm raised and grabbed at that sword qi with his bare hands!

　　The sword qi, which had flown halfway across the globe, stood on top of the pitch-black palm without any frills, and the buzzing sound of gold and iron colliding resounded through the clouds!

　　Clang-!!!

　　In an instant, the surrounding earth turned into fine dust fluttering and flying up, all matter obliterated without a trace, and dozens of tiny blood traces were also slashed across the surface of the tall black figure in the middle of the void.

　　Buzzing shattering sounds rang out from the nothingness, the mirror world, which was already shaking due to the Pillar God melee, was completely destroyed by the sword qi’s aftermath, and the surrounding scene quickly collapsed, the mirror image reversed and returned to the real world.

　　The terrifying sword qi gradually dissipated, scarlet blood dripped down the fingertips to the ground, and in the center of the black palm, a sword mark deep enough to see through to the bone was clear and unmistakable.

　　”Worthy of being the world’s unique Daxia Sword Immortal …… It seems that I still underestimated you.”

　　[Chaos] glanced at the sword scar in his palm, his gaze seemed to pierce through nothingness, seeing Zhou Ping sitting cross-legged in the Sword Hut, and spoke indifferently.

　　He flung his palm, and a few pieces of broken flesh interspersed with starlight fell from his body, drenching him in blood and coloring him almost into a bloody man.

　　[Chaos] expressionlessly bent down, picked up these pieces of broken flesh, casually plugged back the wounds on His body, and turned back to look behind Him where the mists had dissipated.

　　On the earth behind Him, the remains of a broken Gate of Truth stood silently.

　　”And you …… huh.” [Chaos] grinned a cold smile, “You should only have one last detachment left, right?”

　　[Chaos]’s gaze looked towards the island, and his figure flickered, instantly disappearing in place.

　　Sharp hissing came out from the sky, [Black Goat]’s scarlet pupils swept over the devastated hatching land, His anger did not subside in the slightest, His hundreds of eye pupils rotated to look at a certain direction on the sea surface, and the tentacles all over His body converged into His body, like a real dark cloud, quickly swept out.

　　Seemingly summoned by Him, several grammatical gods also followed closely behind, furiously chasing after Lin Qiye and his duo at full speed in the direction they had left.

　　In the mists, two long rainbows swept across the sky in a hurry.

　　”Cool! It’s so cool!” Ragged cloak hunting in the wind, Memorial’s eyes were glowing, “I’ve harassed so many god kingdoms, but this is still the biggest job! It’s tense and exciting!”

　　”Don’t get too happy too early.”

　　Lin Qiye turned back to look behind him, “We almost completely wiped out the [Black Mountain Goat]’s cubs, He won’t just let us go …… The crisis wasn’t completely lifted until we stepped into the territory of the Grand Xia.

　　Not to mention, there’s still a [Chaos].”

　　”Didn’t that guy take an attack from the [Key to the Gate] and a sword from the Sword Immortal? It should be dead already, right?”

　　”That guy didn’t die that easily.” Lin Qiye spoke with certainty, “Even the [Black Mountain Goat] and the [Key to the Gate] couldn’t defeat him when they teamed up, that sword of teacher’s couldn’t kill him, and ideally, he should have been seriously injured …… But if he and the [Black Mountain Goat] teamed up to chase after us, I’m afraid that we would be in deep doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. ”

　　”What a monster.” In Memorial’s mind, the pitch-black, tall silhouette emerged, “I thought the description of Him in the book was exaggerated enough, but I didn’t expect Him to be really this strong ……”

　　”What book?”

　　”The same boring American writers who created the Cthulhu myth, huh?” Memorial shrugged, “There are quite a few novels involving [Chaos], and I haven’t read them carefully, I’ve just brushed through some videos online ……”

　　Lin Qiye suddenly remembered that Memorial came from another world, and in the world she was in, the Cthulhu Mythos seemed to have a clear origin ……

　　”Do the descriptions in those books match up with the Cthulhu gods we’ve encountered?” Lin Qiye asked immediately as if he had thought of something.

　　”It’s basically about the same.”

　　”In those books, did the name ‘Azathoth’ ever appear?”

　　”Of course.” Remembrance spoke nonchalantly, “Although I’m not interested in these stories, I still know the great name of Azathoth …… Speaking of which, it seems like He doesn’t exist in this world? Oh yeah, even if there was we probably wouldn’t realize it ……”

　　These words fell on Lin Qiye’s ears and exploded like thunder as he violently turned his head to look at Memorial:

　　”Who is He?”

　　”It seems like something …… The God of Blind Dementia? The Core of Primordial Chaos? I can’t remember the specifics, anyway, this thing is very powerful, it’s the leader of all the grimoire external gods, an existence older than the universe, even the Three Pillar Gods were born from Him.” Memorial carefully recalled, and said vaguely.
