Chapter 139: Dominance

Boom!
Three black rays suddenly erupted behind Li Tianlong, instantly destroying Stedley’s three Blood Dragons.
“Hmph! The Glorious Divine Lord is solemn and majestic, the god of light. You, Stedley, are a blood-based supernatural being using crooked methods—how could the Glorious Divine Lord choose you as his servant? It’s clear you’re colluding to pretend to be gods and deceive people here!”
Seeing Stedley’s Blood Dragons destroyed and no abnormalities in the temple behind him, Li Tianlong’s eyes lit up as he spoke with firm conviction.
His words were aimed solely at Stedley, not some so-called Glorious Divine Lord.
With his Blood Dragons destroyed, Stedley stumbled back three steps before stabilizing himself. He knew the unseen attacker had held back; otherwise, that strike would have killed him instantly.
“Master Li, it seems you truly intend to bear the charge of blasphemy?” Stedley paled before speaking through gritted teeth.
“Blasphemy? Today, I, Li Tianlong, am here to expose you, a fake believer, to clear the clouds blocking the light and let the glory of the Glorious Divine Lord shine upon the world.” At this moment, Li Tianlong resembled a charlatan more than anyone else.
Yet upon hearing Li Tianlong’s words, Stedley actually laughed.
“I am an oracle sent by the Three Goddesses of Light themselves, ordered to serve as their divine servant. How dare you doubt the will of the gods?” Stedley sneered.
“Hmph, I think those so-called Three Goddesses of Light are just fake deities created by you lot to deceive people?” Li Tianlong seemed convinced that things were as everyone else thought.
The God of Light appeared, saved the beings of the Flame Soul Realm, and then left. Any subsequent claims of goddesses selecting divine servants were just powerful supernatural beings playing god.
……
“Hey, how can a mere Li family establish dominance? If we don’t draw in some big players, these guys will keep causing trouble.”
Among the crowd, Chen Xiao muttered. Floating Cloud, who had been by his side, had disappeared, unknown whereabouts.
“In this world of supernatural powers, Rank 8 and Rank 9 are considered reclusive experts. Those above Rank 9, in the Origin Realm, are the true powerhouses. As for even higher realms, there might be some… Floating Cloud’s power at the third realm level must be that of a god… Eh, it’s better to be cautious.”
At that moment, Floating Cloud, who had silently entered the temple, suddenly felt a vast force pouring into his soul.
In an instant, his soul expanded, and an extremely mysterious law appeared out of nowhere.
“A spatial law?! The fourth realm of domains?!” Floating Cloud’s eyes lit up sharply. Almost instantly, a brand-new domain took shape in his soul and expanded.
“Is this… the power of faith?” Floating Cloud was astonished. His original strength was at the third realm of domains, but he had been stuck there for years without progress. Yet today, he suddenly broke through several realms, comprehending the fourth realm and becoming a master of it.

“If you do what I ask, you’ll surely benefit. I won’t treat those around me unfairly.” At that moment, Chen Xiao’s voice echoed in Fu Yun’s mind.
Fu Yun glanced outside the door, took a deep breath, then vanished into the statue of the Glorious God Lord.
“I didn’t expect that just to boost Fu Yun’s strength, all the faith power I had accumulated before would be used up… Well, after this experience, faith power will keep flowing in,” Chen Xiao thought to himself.
Fu Yun was different from Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao absorbed faith power, which mostly went into his main divine entity, having little effect on improving his strength. Fu Yun, on the other hand, had no divine entity, so all the faith power he gained was used to enhance his strength without any waste.
It was also because Chen Xiao had accumulated an immense amount of faith power; otherwise, it would have been difficult to boost the strength of a being at the Domain realm.
…
By now, Stedley had received Chen Xiao’s message and felt confident, so he was no longer afraid of these people.
“Man does as he wills, but the gods watch,” Stedley said calmly. “Li Tianlong, every word you said has reached the ears of the gods. The consequences will fall on your Li family.”
“Li Tianlong, for desecrating the gods today, as a servant of the gods, I must kill you right here. If anyone tries to stop me, they are enemies of the temple and of the gods.”
Stedley immediately labeled them as enemies of the gods—who would dare?
Stedley’s staff slowly traced symbols in the air, and blood-red runes began to form.
“You say being enemies of the gods means being their enemies? Can you represent the will of the gods?” Another voice spoke at that moment.
Instantly, Stedley’s nearly completed spiritual spell vanished.
The crowd slowly parted, and five individuals dressed in simple robes—some young, some old—emerged from the crowd. Their aura as super-tier ablers radiated unmistakably in the air.
“Can you represent the gods?”
Among the five, the one in the center, appearing to be in his forties and spotless, smiled faintly.
“Damanxius! It’s Damanxius! The one who reached the ninth realm a thousand years ago!”
Someone in the crowd immediately cried out in shock.
Damanxius was a legend in the world of ablers. His talent wasn’t particularly high, but through his own efforts and various coincidences, he managed to reach the ninth realm. After reaching that level, Damanxius disappeared from the world of ablers. No one knew where he went, leaving only a vague legend.
No one expected him to reappear a thousand years later. Yet even today, a thousand years on, this legend of the world of ablers had not been forgotten.
Seeing Damanxius appear, Stedley fell silent.
“Speechless? The gods see mortals as ants. Would they care about mortal disputes? Those who stop you are enemies of the gods—what a bold claim.”
Damanxius chuckled softly.

“You are the one who truly desecrates the gods,” Damansius pointed at Stedley with a single finger, without making any move to attack. “Do I really need to expose it? First, use some method to suppress one’s own rank, then find a few Level 7 or Level 8 ablers to work together—voilà, a miracle. What a clever trick.” Damansius chuckled softly and explained slowly. In an instant, it seemed everyone understood, including Stedley’s followers, who all turned to look at him rudely. Yet their faith remained unshaken; they had all witnessed the divine master Chai Yunkē display his power, destroying countless bloodthirsty monsters and saving them, so they were naturally filled with gratitude. “Truly worthy of being a thousand-year-old monster,” Chen Xiao shook his head slightly among the crowd. “Fuyun, the fish has bitten the hook. It’s up to you now. It’s best if they stay alive.” “Yes, young master.” Chen Xiao used the power of faith to enhance Fuyun’s strength. At this moment, Fuyun’s attitude toward Chen Xiao changed again, no longer as casual as before. Boom! Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the temple behind Stedley. Instantly, the gray mist that had been dispersed by the divine master’s power began to heal rapidly. “The gods are angry!” Someone shouted in the crowd. Immediately, everyone looked up at the sky. The more than a thousand followers fell to their knees. A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, pressing down on their bodies and minds. Then, a golden figure appeared in the air, standing quietly, surrounded by purple lightning. “Who is this, pretending to be a god?!” Damansius frowned. He didn’t believe any gods would appear again. He immediately took off and flew toward the golden figure. “Ignorant mortals,” Fuyun snorted from the sky. With a gesture of his hand, a huge golden palm formed instantly and slammed down on Damansius’s body. Fuyun was a powerhouse at the Domain realm, having mastered various laws to harm enemies through his domain. His golden palm was nothing but a massive manifestation of his domain. Bang! Damansius’s body was sent flying like a cannonball, with no chance to resist. The other four who came with Damansius narrowed their eyes, cursed, and attacked at the same time. The forces of metal, wood, water, and earth all unleashed their strongest attacks, just one step away from returning to their origins and understanding the existence of the source. But in Fuyun’s eyes, their attacks were nothing but a joke. The real Fuyun pressed down with one hand, and his golden palm grabbed and scattered all four attacks. Then, that golden palm descended violently, aiming at the Li family and the five of them. Boom! After a loud explosion, almost all of the Li family was wiped out, while the five of them were knocked unconscious. With another gesture of his hand, Fuyun formed another golden palm in the air, grabbed the five of them, and then disappeared.

“Ignorant mortals who dare offend the divine power shall die! Stedley, in the name of the glorious god and his envoy, I bestow upon you the Rod of Glory to govern the temple.”
Fuyun stretched out his hand again, and a golden light descended from the sky, landing right in front of Stedley. This staff was chosen by Chen Xiao from the relics of those three super-powered individuals from the United States and reforged by Souhen, making it countless times stronger than before.
Within the Space of the Supreme God, Souhen could unleash his full power as a Virtual God. A staff crafted by such a being could be considered a divine artifact.
“Thank you, divine grace!”
Stedley and all the believers behind him knelt down, praising Fuyun and extolling the glory of the god.
Fuyun nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and disappeared.
Above, the sunlight that had been blocked reappeared as Fuyun left.
“The Li family has desecrated the gods! The glorious god has issued an oracle: destroy the Li family utterly, no mercy!”
Stedley suddenly roared.
