Chapter 630: Chapter 509: Dian Huan Blessing, Mahadeva’s Guard!_2
Goddess Yeshetuo was clad entirely in black.
Her hooded head tilted slightly, and her body involuntarily shrank, as if a bit embarrassed.
"Devas!"
"It seems the Supreme Lord hasn’t stopped yet, I’m afraid I can’t go there, wait a bit longer!"
Yeshetuo muttered softly.
"!!!"
"Ah?"
The Devas’ eyes widened, instantly startled.
...
The vast land.
Rushitan, with his upper body bare, revealed a mighty chest, his reddish skin radiating a scarlet glow, like the cinnabar spread beneath the Earth, deep and substantial; it was also like blazing, rampant flames, assertive and wild.
He raised his head, gazing into the sky.
"I have felt it!"
"I have felt it, oh! This surging, great vigor, the monumental force of life!"
"Father!"
Rushitan murmured.
Having followed Xīmí since his youth, he had heard his mother narrate the grand tales of his father, yet he had never seen him come to visit them.
Lately, his brother Marut was split into seven, becoming seven individuals.
This resentment, he had always kept in his heart!
Rushitan’s eyes were blood red.
"You indeed possess great power!"
"But, you not only left my mother to linger on this Earth, but you also split my brother into seven parts, and now you even unite with other women!"
"How disrespectfully you treat your wife, my mother!"
"I will make you pay the price!"
Rushitan waved his four scarlet arms, raising them high into the sky.
In that moment, flames burst forth upon his scarlet arms.
Boom!
An immense power ignited within his body, the flames carrying anger and savage strength, seemingly endless, with no reach to an end.
As Rushitan raged, a place in Kailash reacted immediately.
The Little Elephant God twisted his neck, his two ears flapping continuously, bringing a light breeze, seeking a hint of coolness.
"So hot!"
"I am so hot!"
The Little Elephant God shook his head continually, muttering to himself.
His reddish skin turned an even deeper red, as if flames were burning within him.
For some reason, he felt inexplicably irritable, as if there were a raging fire bottled up inside him, ready to vent at any moment.
"So hot!"
"What’s going on? This is infuriating!"
The Little Elephant God gnashed his teeth, expressing his confusion and anger.
He twisted his thick neck, his whole body flushed, feeling only a baffling rage burning within, making him exceedingly restless.
"I need to find Father, Mother!"
The Little Elephant God said gravely.
His steps quick, he rushed towards the peak of Kailash. Soon, at the auspicious and sacred summit, he saw his parents.
At this time, Shiva and Parvati sat upon a large stone, their expressions serene, undisturbed as an ancient well.
Shénniú Nándí stood calmly to one side, hands joined together in reverence.
The Little Elephant God flapped his trunk, inwardly very uneasy.
"Mother!"
"I’m feeling so unwell!"
Amidst his mutterings, the Little Elephant God ran towards Parvati.
Parvati’s face filled with surprise and concern as her gaze sharpened, noticing her child’s reddened body, as if flames were fiercely burning.
"Child!"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Parvati asked.
Shénniú Nándí also looked towards the Little Elephant God with concern.
The Little Elephant God flapped his trunk, a misty fog emitting from his body, and immediately said, "It feels like I’m on fire, so very hot!"
Hm?
Parvati immediately grew anxious.
"Is there discomfort somewhere, do you feel hot all over?"
Parvati’s brows furrowed slightly as she rose and moved closer to the Little Elephant God, reaching out lovingly to touch his head.
"Yes, but... huh? How come the heat suddenly went away?!"
The Little Elephant God was taken aback.
He suddenly felt the mysterious flames disappear, and the anger in his heart vanished in a flash.
The Little Elephant God looked puzzled.
Parvati also looked perplexed, her gaze filled with loving concern as she observed her child.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Mahadeva Shiva, sitting beside them, opened his eyes.
Shiva stood up abruptly, wielding the Trishula, and turned his attention to his wife Parvati.
Parvati’s heart filled with joy.
With her husband there, they would surely determine what was wrong with their child, wouldn’t they?
"Husband!"
"Look at Vinayaka."
Parvati had just begun to speak.
The next moment, she saw the look in Shiva’s eyes.
His gaze was like the deep waters of a lake, filled with endless longing and reluctance.
"Husband?"
Parvati tilted her head, puzzled.
"Uma!"
"I must leave for a while!"
Shiva murmured.
As his words fell, a hazy mist blew past instantly, shrouding his body, and Shiva’s voice disappeared along with it.
...
Earth.
Black Iron City.
Dian Huan raised his hands high, palms together facing the sky, standing on one leg, positioned in the center of a vast Fire Sacrifice pit.
Boom!
Flames blazed, burning upon his body, forming a thick layer of black char around it.
But a deep voice pierced through this black char, echoing through Black Iron City.
"Om~Praise the Supreme Lord Mahadeva!"
"Om~Praise the Lord with the blue neck!"
...
Devout praises echoed one after another.
These voices reached far and wide, seeming to penetrate the depths of the void, and attracted a hazy mist that blew across swiftly, leaving behind a figure wrapped in an animal skin and entwined by a serpent.
"Dian Huan!"
"Your asceticism is complete, state your wish!"
As Shiva spoke, he raised his right hand.
His right hand released streaks of golden light, like sweet rain pouring down, instantly extinguishing the Fire Sacrifice around Dian Huan’s body.
Crack! Crack!
Accompanied by the sound of fracturing, cracks appeared on the black char shell, and with a loud bang, it entirely exploded away.
Dian Huan radiated golden light, appearing unharmed.
He lifted his head to look at the figure of Shiva, a drop of devout tear unknowingly rolling down from the corner of his eye.
"Great Mahadeva!"
"Supreme Lord!"
"My asceticism is complete, please fulfill it!"
Dian Huan spoke solemnly.
"I shall grant your Blessing!"
Shiva’s expression was somber as he spoke.
"Please stay, become my guard, protect me! Defend me!" A faint cold light flickered in Dian Huan’s eyes as he spoke firmly.
If he could keep Mahadeva here, then the Blessing of the triple city would have no flaws.
He and his two brothers would achieve eternity!
With the power of the triple city, they could avenge their father.
Shiva’s face remained somber.
It seemed as though he had anticipated this moment all along, his expression calm, just quietly watching Dian Huan before raising his hand.
"As you wish!"
"As you wish! As you wish! As you wish!"
His voice carried forth, echoing across the land, resounding through the Three Realms.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Countless figures either looked up or looked down, all turning their gaze towards Earth.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"My brother has completed his asceticism!"
Lianmu rose abruptly from his throne, his face alight with excitement.
Xingmu’s eyes sparkled too.
He was extremely excited, waving his arms around, his voice echoing in all directions, "Now that Mahadeva is our servant, who can stop us?"
The Asuras were exceptionally excited.
The Devas, however, had already sunk their faces, some in fear, some in discomfort, some in disbelief, various expressions flashed on their faces.
"Mahadeva has actually been taken away by the Asura, blessed to be a guard for the Asura!"
"Is Mahadeva going to become an enemy of the Devas?"
Sun God Surya stood frozen in place, said.
This was definitely not good news!
"It’s over!"
Fire God Agni muttered.
In that moment, the Devas were like mourners, all their faces sinking.
Just with one Burning Ash, they were already outmatched, only relying on the residual awe of the Heavenly Emperor, now with Mahadeva added to the mix, weren’t they doomed to certain defeat?
At this time, Dian Huan was triumphantly assured.
"Great Mahadeva!"
"I command you, go defeat the Devas!"
Dian Huan said with a firm voice.
