Chapter 80: Battle of the Demigod 2

Translator: 549690339

“You are seeking your own death!”

The Snake People Demigod Gras hissed through his fangs, growling in a deep voice. With a gesture of his empty hand, the blood flames in the Divine Palace below parted, and slowly a pure gold spear over forty meters long ascended. The towering Snake People Demigod grasped the spear and pointed at one of the golden meteors, unleashing a thick beam of golden light.

The golden meteor quickly dodged, but the beam of golden light also swiftly curved, striking the golden meteor with precision.

With a ‘boom’ like a dazzling firework exploding, the meteor was forcibly knocked back, revealing the ash-faced Yan Renjie.

On the other side, Wan Ying’s figure abruptly stopped. Raising the ten-plus-meter great bow in her hand, her fingers lightly pinched the golden bowstring and quickly drew it back, as a continuous stream of faith value poured in, forming a blinding arrow of golden light, immediately drawing the attention of the Snake People Demigod. He snorted coldly and his figure suddenly vanished, leaving her without a target.

“Behind you!”

Just as deities possess the unlimited authority to teleport within their own divine realm, the Snake People Demigod has the same privilege within his sanctuary. It may not be unlimited, but having it even a few times is enough.

Luckily, Wan Ying reacted quickly. Her clan had True Gods, so she was well aware of this, and without even dispersing the Divine Light Arrow she had just formed, she swung the great bow and slashed backwards with it.

“Clang!”

A spear tens of meters long struck from behind her head, hitting the bow targeting the back of her head, immediately causing golden light to burst forth. Under the immense terrifying force pressing down, she plummeted like a meteor, creating a large crater on the ground.

Gras’s sinister handsome face twisted with savageness as he shook his form, holding his spear tightly and diving straight toward Wan Ying. Without a word, Yan Renjie raised his spear and hurled it ferociously, but Gras’s figure vanished in mid-air, reappearing less than fifty meters from Wan Ying, his giant spear’s edge already pointed at Wan Ying as she got to her feet.

Just then, Lin Xiao suddenly charged from another direction, swooping low to the ground and standing in front of Wan Ying. A large golden shield was raised to block the descending spear tip. With a ‘clang’ of an explosion, he sank several tens of meters, plummeting like a meteor and landing bottom first on the notably touched Wan Ying’s face, which immediately turned dark.

Under normal circumstances, such an incident would certainly incite her fury, but this was not the time for anger. The two quickly split apart, one left and one right, soaring back into the sky. Lin Xiao, wielding his shield, charged towards Gras while Yan Renjie also rushed over. Wan Ying took aim once more with her bow at the retreating Snake People Demigod.

As she formed the Divine Light Arrow costing her an entire two million faith value, Gras’s vertical pupil shifted, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. He deliberately slowed down, allowing his spear to strike Lin Xiao’s Divine Power Shield, and with a clenched left fist covered in a layer of golden light, he struck head-on at Yan Renjie’s lunging spear. Wan Ying, thinking she saw an opportunity, immediately locked onto her target and fired an arrow.

However, Gras had anticipated this and suddenly vanished again, reappearing behind the charging Yan Renjie. He swung his spear, hitting Yan Renjie and slamming him toward the ground, then hurled the forty-meter spear at the falling Yan Renjie with all his might.

In the split second of lightning and thunder, no one had the chance to save him. Fortunately, Yan Renjie had a versatile move: Divine Power Burst.

He immediately expended a large amount of faith value to solidify a thick Divine Power Light Shield in front of him, while adjusting his body to prepare for a counterattack after taking the hit.

Not far away, under the direction of the leader of the Magma Lizard people, over a thousand Magma Lizard Shooter adjusted their positions, close to a giant clam corpse, filled with arrows slowly fading away.

Upon the death of a Prayer, they merge directly into the Divine Realm without leaving a corpse.

The leader of the Magma Lizard people waved forcefully, and thousands of arrows blanketed the sky overhead.

Gras didn’t bother to pay attention to the attacks of mere mortals, which instead angered Him. His eyes flashed fiercely, and He appeared above the ranks of the Magma Lizardmen not far away.

“No!”

Yan Renjie’s face suddenly turned ashen as he witnessed a golden meteorite descend from the sky and smash into the crowd of Magma Lizardmen. With a ‘boom’, a thunderous explosion ensued, rings of blood flames spreading from the falling meteor, engulfing everything in their tide. The Magma Lizardmen struggled in agony within the flames, helplessly watching as the blood fire surged into their nostrils and mouths, burning them until they became torches of blood fire, eventually melting away.

This strike covered a range of over a hundred meters, dissolving more than three or four hundred Magma Lizardmen into the blood flames.

“Damn it!”

Yan Renjie felt as if his heart was bleeding. Since entering this plane, it was the first time he had suffered such a tremendous loss, which made it almost unbearable to breathe from the heartache.

Seeing the Snake People Demigod rise into the sky, preparing to dive toward other members of the Clan nearby, he couldn’t keep his abilities hidden any longer. A thread of golden light flashed through his green pupils as ten million Faith values burned brightly. His pupils suddenly ignited with an intense green flame. The crystalline green gem between his eyebrows lit up, and a vague face emerged, covering Yan Renjie’s own. The Snake People Demigod felt a sudden unease.

“Do it!”

Two streams of green flames converged into a larger, more powerful beam that shot out and disappeared into the Void.

The Snake People Demigod flickered out of existence, reappearing several kilometers away. A flash of green light, a twist of form, and He plummeted downward.

“You have three seconds!”

Lin Xiao, who was prepared, quickly flew over, while Wan Ying took a deep breath, clenched her small hand in the air, and seventeen million Faith values burned, transforming into a dazzling golden arrow. She drew her bow and swiftly launched the arrow.

The Golden Meteor streaked by, striking the Snake People Demigod Gras, who wore an expression of horror but could not move. It exploded directly in His chest, creating a hollow cavity wide enough to fit a man’s waist, through which the internal organs and flesh of the Demigod could be seen.

It wasn’t clear what technique Yan Renjie had used, but despite such severe injuries, He couldn’t even blink an eye.

All He could do was watch as He was gravely wounded, and as Lin Xiao, like a meteor rushing in, clasped his hands together, merging his spear and shield into one. This transformed into an even larger spear, and he burned the remainder of his few million Faith values in a do-or-die attempt, ferociously striking the head of the Snake People Demigod Gras.

Compared to the arrow’s piercing wound, this strike smashed away half of Gras’s head, scattering golden bone and flesh across the sky.

But after that blow, the three seconds had passed. The Snake People Demigod, still capable of movement, displayed incomparable pain and madness in His remaining vertical pupil. He clenched His fists and smashed them into Lin Xiao, who couldn’t dodge in time. With a ‘crack’, a loud noise, he lost half his shoulder and plummeted down like a meteor into the marshy mire.

Just as the Snake People Demigod was about to follow up with another strike, His actions suddenly stiffened. A stream of golden blood fire burst forth, and His strength plummeted drastically.

In that moment of delay, Lin Xiao had already flown away, and the flesh from his missing half-shoulder swiftly began to regenerate in mid-air.

In this plane where harvested Faith values couldn’t be absorbed, Lin Xiao had already used up everything he had, but he still had several million of his own followers’ Faith values remaining. Using these Faith values, he could quickly

recover..
