Chapter 637: Chapter 514: The Eye of Sacrifice, Let’s Go to Kailash!
"Burning Ash" felt his heart stir.
But still, he was uncertain. He raised his hands and with his index finger lightly traced in front of his chest, continuing, "Even so, my power is still not enough!"
"Lianmu" stepped up to his side, leaning in close to "Burning Ash’s" ear.
"Have you forgotten?"
"The ritual of the Su Jieluo is about to complete!"
With a sharp gesture, "Lianmu" pointed fiercely.
Swish!
"Burning Ash" followed the direction of "Lianmu’s" arm and saw that amid the eternal glow of the Golden City, a ball of golden fire soared upward.
"Hum—Praise Mahadeva!"
"Hum—Praise the Three-Eyed God!"
"Hum—Praise the Blue-Throated Supreme, praise the God of Gods!"
The altar towered, square on all sides.
Sukhacara stood atop the altar, casting the water from a golden jug into the flames. As he did so, countless ascetics below, with their hands clasped in prayer, faces devout, praised in unison.
In this Eternal City, to praise the Supreme Lord was a sublime bliss!
Thinking this way, the many praisers all wore smiles, their joy naturally showing through.
Boom!!!
The mighty Power of Sacrifice ascended above the flames, gradually gathering.
A hazy Flame Eye slowly formed.
Swish!
The Flame Eye blinked, radiating boundless power, illuminating all directions.
Sukhacara Sage slowly stood up.
He turned sharply, raising his hands high, compressing and condensing the flame between his palms. With a whoosh, a flame that greatly resembled Shiva’s third eye on his forehead formed.
"This power!"
"Will help Asura achieve victory!"
The Sukhacara Sage bowed his head, fixating his gaze upon the Flame Eye.
In the next instant, he gently pushed forward with both hands.
Swoosh!
The Flame Eye shot forth, tracing a crimson arc through the air like a rainbow, heading toward "Lianmu."
In the blink of an eye, the Flame Eye descended from the heavens, landing in "Lianmu’s" hands.
"Lianmu" held his hands out as if cradling something invisible.
The Flame Eye revolved and ascended within his palms, its blinding brilliance flickering incessantly.
"Xingmu" and "Dian Huan," too, their eyes gleaming, swallowed hard.
Gulp!
Such immense power!
If they could truly absorb it, their power would surely reach its zenith, surpassing even their father’s.
Hiss!!!
"Burning Ash" took a deep breath.
His gaze also dropped, fixated on the brilliant Flame Eye with a look of voracious greed.
This power...
"Look!"
"The sacrifices of all the ascetics in the triple city will become your power!"
"Burning Ash!"
"This is the power of Shiva, the Great Heaven. With this power, you could even be an adversary to the Great Heaven!"
"Lianmu" pushed out with his hands.
The Flame Eye in his possession then slowly drifted upwards and directly flew to "Burning Ash’s" front.
"!!!"
"Xingmu" and "Dian Huan" were shocked.
They watched their older brother with disbelief, their eyes filled with astonishment.
This power...
Was the older brother really going to give it to Burning Ash?!
Amid an array of astounded and furious stares, "Burning Ash" reached out, gently grasping for the Flame Eye.
Swish!
In an instant, "Burning Ash" felt a surge of power flood his entire body.
Silver-black armor adorning him burst into flames, like the destructive fire at the end of an epoch, and a power so vast it was incomparable surged forth.
Boom, boom, boom!
In that moment, under the oppressive force of the flames, the entire Golden City began to tremble, as if it marked the end of countless eras.
"Hahahaha!"
"I felt the power, with this power, I can surely do it!"
"I can surely defeat the Three Aspects Deity!"
Burning Ash laughed loudly.
With a fierce swing of his hand, he turned to look at the people behind him and began to command, "I order you to make preparations for me, to accompany me to Kailash, to wed Parvati!"
The voice of Burning Ash carried an infinite authority, resonant and powerful.
Bang!
Lianmu raised his right arm and fiercely pounded his own chest, producing a muffled sound like the shaking of the earth.
"Of course!"
"Great Burning Ash, as you wish!"
Lianmu said with a smile.
He looked squarely at Burning Ash, then slowly backed away.
Xingmu and Dian Huan also heard Burning Ash’s arrogant laugh beside their ears and frowned, stepping back as well.
Whoosh!
The three turned into beams of light and descended upon a palace.
At this time, in Burning Ash’s absence, Dian Huan couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Big brother!"
"Why would you give this power of sacrifice to Burning Ash, he can’t control it at all!"
Dian Huan clenched his fist, his face full of reluctance.
This power, whether given to his eldest or second brother, wouldn’t have perturbed him like this, or even if it remained in his own hands, that would have been excellent.
After all, this power was too mighty, even capable of matching a blow from Mahadeva!
"Why indeed?"
Xingmu also looked displeased.
Hmph~
Lianmu glanced at his two brothers, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted in a light chuckle.
He shrugged his shoulders and walked slowly in front of them, turning his back on his brothers.
"Since our plan to imprison Mahadeva has failed!"
"Then we might as well turn our mistake into a killing blow!"
"There’s no need to imprison Mahadeva, let’s just annihilate him!"
Lianmu clenched his fist and said in a deep voice.
"Annihilate Mahadeva?"
"Annihilate Mahadeva?!"
Xingmu and Dian Huan suddenly widened their eyes in astonishment, looking at Lianmu in a horrified manner.
They never imagined their eldest brother would be contemplating such a plan.
Annihilate Mahadeva?
That was something no one had dared to consider before, an utter impossibility!
"The hands of Burning Ash carry blessings, even capable of destroying Mahadeva’s form, and now he possesses the Power of Sacrifice, enough to render him fearless before the Power of the Great Heaven!"
"He now has the power to kill Mahadeva!"
"And he now covets Parvati even more!"
"Humph humph!"
Lianmu split a grin, unavoidably lifting his head and laughing heartily.
He turned around, looked at his two younger brothers, and spoke, "Let’s go, let’s prepare together for Burning Ash’s wedding, hahaha!"
...
Golden City.
Golden radiance spread across the starry sky, the monumental city spinning like a wheel, its position in the cosmos ever-changing, with countless stars orbiting around it, as if it were the center of the universe.
The Devas were all watching changes within the city.
"Has Mahadeva returned?"
"I feel it, it must be the return of Mahadeva!"
"That’s wonderful!"
The Devas were exceedingly joyful, all sensing the glow of Mahadeva gradually fading from the Golden City.
"Something’s not right!"
Indra stared at the grand city.
His eyes shone like the sun, casting out beams of golden light.
In this moment, he already sensed a potent fluctuation, a power like time itself, akin to death, omnipresent in space and spreading through time.
"Hmm?"
"What is this for?!"
Indra furrowed his brow, murmuring to himself.
Within his gaze, he saw a group of Asuras setting out together.
They played joyful music, beat festive drums, and were dressed in auspicious robes, exiting from the Golden City.
