Chapter 489: The God of Chaotic Winds

As one of the parties involved in that ambush, the Land of Dawn should have some understanding of their enemy’s strength. Yet they remained silent, taking no retaliatory action and even suppressing any information from being shared with other forces. If not for this, those present might have gained a better understanding of their opponent’s capabilities!

“Among these five semi-god totem deities, the Red Demon God and the Stone Bear God are the most powerful generals under the God of Chaotic Winds. Both are totem deities renowned for their combat skills and strength, excelling in direct battles and charges—rarely matched by other semi-gods. The warriors of the Church of Dawn surely recognize this!”

As soon as Donald spoke, the envoy of Dawn’s gods grew even darker in expression. He was already dissatisfied with being constrained by others, and now that Donald brought up the recent attack on the Land of Dawn, his mood could only worsen.

“However, a few years ago, the Stone Bear God was injured in a fight with other powerful beings and has yet to recover. His strength is now greatly diminished; he’s not much stronger than an ordinary semi-god. This is a breakthrough point we can exploit!”

Donald continued, “With one of the God of Chaotic Winds’ key allies weakened, our second main target is his other powerful subordinate, the Ox Demon God.”

“Although the Red Demon God is merely a semi-god totem deity, its original form is the Red Demon, a rare ox-like magical beast unique to totems. Though it resembles our oxen in appearance, the Red Demon is not a herbivore but a fierce and cruel carnivore that enjoys tearing apart its prey before devouring its flesh. Thus, this rare beast is even more feared on the Totoem Continent, akin to demons here—useful only to stop crying babies!”

“This rare beast shares one characteristic with oxen: when provoked, it enters a frenzied state. As a totem deity embodied in flesh, rather than one born from natural spirits or heroes, the Red Demon God also possesses this terrifying ability! It is said that during its frenzy, its strength surges tenfold, reaching a level nearly comparable to that of a lower god or even a newly ascended god. In its madness, it becomes fearless and attacks everything living and moving around it, even its own master—so fierce that even the ruthless God of Chaotic Winds fears it.”

Sea God Basseto frowned upon hearing this and said, “Doesn’t that mean we now have another powerful enemy with the strength of a lower-tier god?”
Donald stepped in to explain, “Please rest assured on this point. Although the Red Demon God is terrifying when enraged, even a demigod totem god cannot sustain such a state for long. An ordinary adult Red Demon Beast will fall into a weakened state if its frenzy lasts beyond ten breaths, and if it goes any longer, its life will be lost. Moreover, Red Demon Beasts lose their sanity during frenzies and cannot stop themselves from going mad. Basically, over 90% of them die from exhausting their life force—natural deaths are almost unheard of!”
“So, the Red Demon God’s frenzied state doesn’t last very long either?”
Donald replied, “Your Highness Basseto is correct. The stronger the being, the shorter the duration of this life-draining frenzied state, and the more severe the backlash! Based on the deductions of other totem gods, the Red Demon God can only maintain its frenzied state for up to three breaths. Beyond that, even as a demigod totem god, it will perish. This can be inferred from the fact that the Red Demon God only uses its frenzied power when its master, the Storm God, is nearby, and the Storm God must rely on his immense strength to stop it before three breaths pass!”
The King of the North spoke up at this point, “So, to deal with the Red Demon God this time, we rely on you, Your Highness Basseto. If it weren’t for Your Highness Donald saying that you possess a divine armor with defensive power comparable to that of a mid-tier divine weapon, capable of withstanding until the Red Demon God ends its frenzied state, our chances of winning would be slim. After all, we’re fighting on the enemy’s home ground, unless a few powerful high-ranking lords are willing to expend a great deal of divine artifacts to manifest themselves!”
Basseto patted his chest and took on the task. “Please rest assured, I can definitely hold off an enemy with the strength of a lower-tier god’s true form for three breaths!”
“Then we leave it to you, Your Highness Basseto!” Donald nodded.
“The main thing we need to be careful about now is the powerful divine artifacts that our opponents might possess! You should know that the amount of divine artifacts on the Totem Continent is much greater than in our main continent. To this day, those powerful high-ranking gods still haven’t figured out the origin of their divine artifacts!”

Charlie, as the commander, added, “A good lower-tier divine artifact can at least exert the power of a newly ascended god. It’s as if the enemy has more helpers with the strength of true gods. So even if the mission fails, it won’t be our fault. It would be best to eliminate the God of Chaotic Winds, and if not, as long as we can kill the Red Demon God and the Stone Bear God, even if the God of Chaotic Winds escapes this time, it’s like cutting off one of its arms. Coupled with the attacks from those hostile totem gods, the God of Chaotic Winds will be unable to recover for hundreds of years, becoming a leader without his pack and unable to achieve anything significant again.”

Soon, the central army approached the region of the Chaotic Winds Gorge.

The Chaotic Winds Gorge was located in a peculiar terrain amidst the mountains. Due to the jagged rocks and numerous hollows and holes, whenever external air currents blew into this area, strange sounds of whistling and howling would arise, as if countless demons and monsters were roaring, causing those who heard them to feel fear and distress. The gorge was originally named Ghost Crying Gorge for this reason. It wasn’t until thousands of years ago, when the God of Chaotic Winds occupied this place and became a god, that its official name was changed.

Several settlements of the Wind Tribe were scattered around the flat valleys and basins centered on the Chaotic Winds Gorge.

Upon arriving here, the powerful warriors stopped talking and, at the lead of the King of the North, headed straight toward the enemy’s territory.

Boom!!!

A tribe located to the south of the Chaotic Winds Gorge was the first to be attacked. Although the demi-god responsible for the attack didn’t intend to kill many, even a casual strike from a demi-god was beyond the endurance of ordinary mortals. Many still died or were injured due to houses collapsing from the shock.

These areas were all part of the God of Chaotic Winds’ domain, equivalent to his terrestrial divine kingdom. Attackers who came here were detected by the God of Chaotic Winds before they could launch an attack. However, detection and intervention were two different things. Even a being of mid-tier godly power couldn’t intervene in time to stop a sudden attack by a demi-god not targeting them, unless it kept constant surveillance of the attacked area around the clock to possibly react in advance.

“Damn you, barbaric natives from another continent! How dare you attack the territory of my great Wind Tribe? Prepare to face the worst punishment…”

Although the God of Chaotic Winds appeared at the site of the attack immediately, he still couldn’t save the lives of his followers.

Furious, the God of Turbulent Winds immediately stretched out his massive hands toward the demi-god who had attacked, gathering immense divine power within them in an attempt to capture this powerful demi-god in one move.
There was a clear difference between the demi-gods of the Main Continent and those of the Totem Continent, a difference that the powerful Lower Tier Totem God, the God of Turbulent Winds, could easily discern, thus identifying the opponent’s origin.
Just as the demi-god was about to be overwhelmed by the pressure of the God of Turbulent Winds, who was as powerful as a Mid Tier God within his own domain and on the verge of capture, a silver-white sword aura, sharp as a ribbon, surged toward the god’s hands.
This sword aura was extremely powerful, at least on par with an attack from a Lower Tier God. The God of Turbulent Winds naturally dared not withstand it with his flesh, and there was no time to summon his divine artifact either, so he could only temporarily withdraw his hands. The demi-god he had attacked took this opportunity to vanish into the distance.
“Who is it?”
the God of Turbulent Winds roared angrily, his voice echoing across ten miles.
As a Lower Tier Totem God, his true form was at least thirty feet tall, resembling a naked male statue with pale gray skin covered in eerie blue-black tattoos.
On the relatively civilized Main Continent, such a naked deity would surely be condemned by the followers of human civilizations. But this was the Totem Continent, where the level of civilization was far inferior to that of the Main Continent; many indigenous tribes still lived in a barbaric state, with cannibalism even occurring frequently.
Thus, the God of Turbulent Winds’ shameless nudity posed no disadvantage to him. At least in the areas he controlled, no one would think such things!
It was Charles, the True God and King of the Northern Lands, the overall commander of this operation, who intervened to stop the God of Turbulent Winds.
“Leave this to me. Go ahead with the next step!”
Hearing this, the demi-god smiled gratefully and disappeared from the God of Turbulent Winds’ sight.
Wielding the King’s Heart, a divine artifact temporarily borrowed from Donald, Charles, facing a God of Turbulent Winds with the strength of a Mid Tier God, immediately activated his strongest attack mode, “Kingly Descent.”
Indeed, the sword aura emitted by the King’s Heart was so powerful that even the God of Turbulent Winds dared not endure it with his body.
“Damn it!”
Faced with the intruder’s second sword aura attack, the God of Turbulent Winds had no choice but to pull out one of his peculiar artifact armguards shaped like a magical beast’s head, unleashing a dark golden barrier to block it.

Although the barrier emitted by the divine artifact trembled after being struck by the opponent’s sword energy, the fact that it was able to withstand such a powerful attack—capable of easily cutting through defensive sub-divine artifacts—without using the artifact itself, relying solely on its barrier, demonstrates just how formidable this divine artifact is. And this is still just a lower-tier divine artifact. After using a defensive lower-tier divine artifact to block the opponent’s attack, the God of Turbulent Winds took out another artifact in the form of a grappling hook, swung it forcefully, and the hook flew toward the King of the Northern Lands as if controlled by an invisible rope.
