Chapter 0543: Bishop Steps Down

Roderick stared at Bishop with furious eyes, his anger unable to conceal the panic in his heart.
Death—everyone fears it!
Roderick never expected that Bishop, who had been rescued by Mori like a stray dog, would return as the Supreme God!
Seeing Roderick’s panic, Bishop smiled and said cheerfully, “Now, I’ll make you suffer the consequences of your foolishness!” With that, he raised his hand and sent a beam of golden Supreme God power toward him.
Roderick saw the golden beam shooting toward him. He tried to dodge it but found no way to escape, forcing him to watch in despair as the beam struck him.
In an instant, Roderick felt a violent shock throughout his body. Then, he was flung backward, his body seemingly falling apart as blood sprayed from his mouth.
“Elder Roderick!” Kennedy and the others cried out in shock.
“Grandfather!” A voice rang out after Kennedy and the others. Soon, a figure flashed down beside Roderick and helped him up—it was Chester.
Roderick’s eyes were dim, his face pale, and his chest heaved violently. Clearly, though severely injured by Bishop’s attack, he wasn’t dead.
“Hehe, don’t worry. I said I wouldn’t kill you so quickly. I want you to walk toward death step by step, sinking deeper into despair!” Bishop looked down at Roderick.
“Not bad. Your great-grandson Angus was killed by my grandson. So what?!” Bishop said slowly, with a mocking tone, “Do you really have the ability to avenge your great-grandson Angus?!”
The Runing family had never found evidence that Fied had killed Angus. Now, with Bishop admitting it himself, Roderick and the others were filled with rage.
Chester’s eyes turned red as he glared at Bishop, his hands clenched tightly.
“Hehe, kid, what are you staring at?” Bishop glanced at Chester, and an invisible force was emitted. Chester was struck hard, letting out a muffled sound before being flung backward.
“Chester!” Fat Francis exclaimed in shock. He tried to fly to catch Chester, but Bishop waved his hand, sending him flying backward as well. By the time he hit the ground, he couldn’t get up anymore.
Among the Runing clan’s members, Chester and Fat Francis were closest to Yellow Dragon. How could Bishop not know that? That’s why Bishop hated them the most!
“Chieftain, you’re here! That’s great!”
“I knew the chieftain would come to save us!”

At that moment, those elders who had once betrayed Runing just like Bishop and had escaped from Runing’s stone prison stepped forward, bowing in excitement. Initially, they had been waiting for Kennedy and the others to deliver a judgment, but unexpectedly, the seal that imprisoned them all suddenly broke, and when they flew out, they understood what had happened—Bishop had returned as the Supreme God! How could they not be overjoyed? “Elder?” Bishop snorted coldly, “It’s the Supreme God!” The elders quickly nodded in agreement, bowing before the Supreme God. But just then, a golden light flashed in Bishop’s hand, piercing through the bodies of these elders. As they all fell, their eyes were wide open, unable to understand why Bishop would suddenly attack them! “Useless fools, what use are you?” Bishop said indifferently. For Bishop now, whether these elders remained loyal or not didn’t matter—he was the Supreme God, and today was nothing like before. Moreover, he had come determined to destroy Runing completely, including these dogs! After killing these elders, Bishop struck again, and this time, not only Runing’s main headquarters but the entire Runing estate was reduced to dust. The dust spread in the sunlight, possessing an eerily beautiful appearance. Some of Runing’s descendants who hadn’t managed to escape to the air were buried in the dust. Watching the entire Runing estate turn to dust at his hands, Bishop laughed heartily. Then, with a gesture of his right hand, he summoned the severely injured Rodri before him. “Rodri, it’s your turn!” Bishop glanced at Rodri, his eyes flashing with cold intent and murderous desire. “Great-grandfather!” Seeing that Bishop intended to kill Rodri, Chester struggled to get up, shouting in anger. At that moment, Rodri was reduced to a pool of blood under Bishop’s strike. …
In the Abyssal Sea, at the Sea City Royal Palace in the southeastern sea area. “Bishop has appeared!” Huang Long was delighted upon seeing Kennedy’s message in his hands. Bishop’s appearance was indeed good news! However, what made Huang Long frown was the mention in Kennedy’s message that Bishop had become the Supreme God. Without communicating with anyone else, Huang Long immediately left the Sea City Royal Palace and rushed toward Runing Estate on the Nia Continent. After all, for Huang Long now, a round trip to the Nia Continent took less than half an hour. As Huang Long sped along, it wasn’t long before he arrived above Runing Estate. Upon seeing the estate reduced to swirling dust, his murderous intent surged uncontrollably.

At this moment, after killing Rodri, Bishop turned to Chester and Fat Francis and sneered, “If anyone’s to blame, it’s Huang Long!” With that, he stretched out his right hand, and the golden divine power surged toward Chester and Francis. Despair filled their eyes. “Is that so?” Just as they were in despair, suddenly, a cold voice rang out, and then they saw the golden divine power vanish without a trace. “Brother Huang Long!” Chester and the others turned to see Huang Long, their faces filled with excitement as they exclaimed. “Lord Huang Long!” Kennedy and the other elders, along with the descendants of the Runing family, were even more excited upon seeing Huang Long; the despair on their faces disappeared, replaced by hope for survival. Ever since Huang Long had saved the Runing family last time, his status within it was no less than that of the Supreme God Susan—indeed, in some ways, even higher, thanks to his strength, which allowed him to kill the Water Domain Lord Elf and even force back the Supreme God Morri! “Huang Long, it’s you!” Bishop’s smile froze as he saw Huang Long; his voice was low. He hadn’t expected Huang Long to arrive so quickly! Weren’t Huang Long in the Abyssal Sea? Yet it hadn’t even been half an hour since he appeared in the Runing family! Panic flashed in Bishop’s eyes. After all, even the Supreme God Morri had been forced back by Huang Long. Although Bishop had merged with a supreme god’s essence to become a supreme god himself, he still wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could confront Huang Long. Still, despite his panic, he reasoned that if he tried to escape, it wouldn’t be easy for Huang Long to kill him. So, after stepping back, he didn’t rush to flee. “Brother Huang Long, our grandfather has been killed!” Chester said through tears. Under Huang Long’s divine power, Chester and Francis’ injuries had stabilized. Huang Long looked at Bishop, his expression darkening—he had arrived too late! Bishop! “Hehe, Huang Long, I didn’t expect you to come so quickly!” Bishop sneered, staring at Huang Long. “What? Are you really eager to know where your woman is?” “Don’t worry. Once I get back, I’ll take good care of that bitch!” After saying that, Bishop waved his hands, creating a rift in space to escape through the chaotic currents. Facing Huang Long, he still felt uneasy.

“Leaving?” Huang Long saw Bishop trying to escape. In a flash, he disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind Bishop. Just as Bishop was about to enter the spatial turbulence through the rift, he suddenly sensed something strange behind him. Reacting quickly, he turned around and saw Huang Long. His face turned pale with horror as he struck back, sending golden divine power toward Huang Long.

Huang Long sneered and didn’t block the attack. Instead, he reached out with both hands, grabbed Bishop like a pig, and flung him back. At that moment, Bishop’s attack hit Huang Long.

A muffled sound came as Bishop fell to the ground, upside down.

Huang Long swiftly appeared in front of Bishop.

Bishop struggled to get up. Seeing Huang Long before him, his face turned deathly pale, and his eyes filled with terror. “You… you actually!” Huang Long had blocked his attack and hadn’t even summoned the ancient bell or divine armor! His physical defense was incredibly strong!

Huang Long remained expressionless as he slowly walked toward Bishop. Terrified, Bishop staggered backward and said, “Huang Long, don’t kill me! I know where Susan is. Don’t you want to find out where Susan is? I can take you there!” Huang Long had asked Kennedy to investigate him, and Bishop knew Huang Long wanted to learn about Susan’s whereabouts from him.

Huang Long didn’t speak. A dark golden symbol resembling a thunder talisman appeared between his brows. A dark golden light flashed by Bishop’s face and vanished. Then, Bishop lost consciousness.

Bishop had merged with the divine essence to become the supreme god. If Huang Long hadn’t reached the peak of the Great Golden Immortal and recovered his damaged soul, it would have been difficult for him to control Bishop’s mind and search his memories.

After a while, Huang Long withdrew his divine consciousness, and Bishop regained his senses.

“The Realm of the Supreme God of Light!” Huang Long stared coldly at Bishop. As Bishop regained his consciousness, not knowing what had happened, he suddenly heard Huang Long mention the Realm of the Supreme God of Light. His expression changed as he realized Huang Long must already know about Susan and the whereabouts of the other missing supreme gods. In utter terror, he attacked Huang Long with all his might while trying to escape.

Huang Long raised his hand, and a sword beam flashed out, stopping Bishop’s fleeing figure. Then, he fell from the sky, and a golden divine essence emerged from his body.

With one hand, Huang Long captured that golden divine essence and his divine body and placed them inside the Five Prison Divine Cauldron.

In the distance, the people of the Luning family watched as Bishop was easily killed by Huang Long without any resistance, and they were stunned.

“Lord Yellow Dragon!” After a while, Kennedy and the others regained their senses and flew over to Yellow Dragon’s side to thank him once again for saving them. Yellow Dragon told them to get up, then, just as before, restored the Luning Mansion to its original state.
