Chapter 2 - Prologue 1

The Eye of the God is an ancient weapon of the Gods that is no longer used. It has only been stored for thousands of years in a secret chamber known only to the Emperor God. The reason why the Eye of the God has never been used again is because once it is used, the three worlds will be destroyed as they cannot withstand its immense power.

History records that the Eye of the God was only used twice. The first was to destroy a corrupted realm and create a new order, and the second, Jian Hong did not know what. What is certain is that its power is not something he can endure, let alone rival.

But today, Luo Tianqi dared to use the weapon just for his ego. The man even managed to purify the deadliest weapon in the world. Slowly, Jian Hong looked down, just as Luo Tianqi smiled. "Something's wrong. This must have been planned. The Eye of the God cannot be purified in just a few days. Does that mean Luo Tianqi has arranged everything? Has he predicted this great war? And is killing me part of his grand plan?"

What followed was only a victorious smile on Luo Tianqi's face. He felt satisfied seeing how pitiful Jian Hong looked as the Eye of the God slowly descended to the Human Realm. Clutching his tight chest, occasionally coughing.

"You may have the God Slayer Formation. But I have purified a more powerful weapon to kill you!" Luo Tianqi shouted.

The man then stood up, enduring all the painful wounds on his body. He moved his hands intricately until a golden light emitted from his forehead. Jian Hong, seeing that, did not stay silent. He dashed like lightning toward Luo Tianqi, who was already hovering in the air, "If Luo Tianqi manages to activate all the energy of the Eye of the God, then not only I but the entire three worlds will be destroyed."

Jian Hong spread both hands with eyes closed. Then slowly, the red and black light flowing from his body streamed into both hands. From a distance, Jian Hong began to attack Tianqi with his magic. The magic did not miss, even injuring Tianqi.

"Argh!" Tianqi shouted. He lost focus on activating the Eye of the God. Then he stopped and stared at Jian Hong with fury. His hand rose to the sky, until a lightning bolt struck his hand, giving him a weapon bigger than a sword. "Today, I must let you die!"

Tianqi shot forward toward Jian Hong. They clashed swords with swift movements. Their opposing energies flickered in the air, proving how their geist fought from one side to the other with lightning speed.

Jian Hong, whose entire energy had been spent on the God Slayer Formation, was pushed back. "Damn, it seems my formation will lose. Even after absorbing all of Tianqi's power, he still doesn't die. His power now grows rapidly beyond mine. What should I do?"

The man looked at the formation above him that was still open. But it no longer absorbed Tianqi's energy. The formation stopped and vanished instantly. It would only last two minutes if it could not absorb energy from another immortal.

Seeing that, Luo Tianqi finally laughed with satisfaction, "Hahaha, do you dare admit it now, Jian Hong? If you had admitted it from the start, I might have been kind enough not to let you die under the Eye of the God."

Jian Hong was cornered. He looked up where the Eye of the God was almost fully open. "You know that if the power of the Eye of the God is unleashed, then none of the three realms will remain. But why do you still do it?"

Jian Hong's voice weakened. At first, he wanted to convince himself that maybe there was still some good left in Luo Tianqi's body. After all, they once shared the same soul. They also once faced life and death situations together. But it turned out all of that was just a false hope when he heard the war god's words next.

"You already know too much. Isn't it better to end this here? Besides, if you truly cared about the three realms, you should have never decided to resist me from the start. And now, even if I have to destroy the last place in the world, I will do it as long as I can kill you!"

Hearing that, Jian Hong's anger flared until his blood boiled. His body emitted smoke, and with one move, he managed to create a giant shadow with many hands behind him, "Asura Demon Body!"

After saying that, the Asura Demon behind him seemed to roar and emitted a dazzling light. Jian Hong immediately jumped to attack Tianqi, but the man immediately blocked the attack with a golden shield shaped like layered lotus petals, "Thousand Petals Fortress!"

Jian Hong, standing at the center of the Asura Demon, kept pounding Luo Tianqi with brutal movements, until the collision of their energies uprooted several trees.

"ARGHH!!!" Jian Hong shouted and united the many hands of Asura, hitting Tianqi simultaneously. Causing an extraordinary earthquake.

The man was gasping. The Asura Demon Body had disappeared from there. Now Jian Hong felt very weak; he had little confidence that Tianqi might already be defeated. After a while, he finally floated and approached the Eye of the God, "How do I stop this?"

However, before Jian Hong could find a way to stop the deadly weapon, his body was pulled by an energy rope from behind. The man was shocked and struggled when he realized the cause was Luo Tianqi, "I knew you wouldn't die that easily."

"And I know I can kill you today."

After saying that, Luo Tianqi skillfully moved his fingers. The furnace he had purified earlier came out again and merged with the Eye of the God. Then, in just a fraction of a second, the Eye of the God opened its eye—fully.

As soon as the Eye of the God opened, all its other clones opened and rolled. Jian Hong began to feel extreme pain in his body. His energy seemed to be absorbed into the Eye of the God. "Arghhh!!!"

He even spat blood several times from his mouth. And worst of all, the sound of explosions started ringing in his ears. The small Eye of the God began to emit a rain of fire that then burned this barren forest. This was truly the end, and Jian Hong could not stop it.

Then, moments later, thousands of arrows started to fall from the Eye of the God. They were not ordinary arrows; each tip was ablaze with destructive fire. Jian Hong shook his head; he couldn't believe Luo Tianqi really did this just to kill him, "YOU'RE COMPLETELY CRAZY, LUO TIANQI! YOU WILL DIE WITH ME IF YOU DON'T STOP THIS!"

"HAHAHA! Even if I have to go to hell with you, I will still make you suffer!"

Jian Hong was speechless; he started to think, "I can't wait for the Eye of the God to destroy me, I have to do something!" Jian Hong kept struggling to break the magical bonds. Meanwhile, Tianqi kept laughing far from Jian Hong.

The man used all his strength to fight back. One arrow managed to scratch his body. But it seemed all was in vain because Jian Hong lost all his power under the pressure of the Eye of the God. "There's no way my end will be like this, right?"

The power in his chest came out. It was a black demonic aura. As soon as that energy emerged, Tianqi's bond from his body was automatically released.

In place, Luo Tianqi stopped laughing when he saw that, "How could you still have strength even after everything that happened?"

Jian Hong didn't answer. He floated and released power again, black energy shimmering enveloped his body. Both his hands pointed forward with flowing magic. "I call upon the demonic power to rise. I summon all that is cursed from the darkness to help me. I call upon the deepest power from hell to defeat this great weapon. Come forth!"

Now, black energy explosions flowed through Jian Hong's body, helping him forcibly close the Eye of the God, becoming a shield for himself.

Not staying idle, Luo Tianqi who stood not far away also brought back two swords. "Who do you think you are? You're just a sword spirit dreaming of defeating the war god. So today, you will see how the war god should truly work."

Luo Tianqi shot forward to attack Jian Hong from behind suddenly. But before the sword could touch Jian Hong's body, it was stopped mid-air and turned to stab Luo Tianqi's arm.

"ARGH!" Luo Tianqi screamed and held his arm that kept bleeding.

Tianqi's scream made Jian Hong turn his head. From behind the chaotic ruins, from behind the smoke caused by the explosion, Jian Hong saw a figure unfamiliar to his eyes. Even though the figure was obscured by mist, Jian Hong would never mistake who it was.

"Jia Lin?"
