Chapter 013: Thunderbolt

The hair that had just been arranged began to smoke, as the purple lightning directly ignited the True God’s hair! The top of the True God’s head seemed to turn into a torch, engulfed in flames!
His nose was also smoking, and as his mouth opened, green smoke emerged from it as well!
Seeing this, Du Fan felt relieved!
The True God clearly had suffered some minor damage—this was a good sign. Du Fan’s greatest concern had been that both his attacks and those of the elves had been completely ignored by the True God. In that case, the True God would be invincible to them!
If that were the case, there was no need to continue this war—the True God would surely win easily!
At the beginning, Du Fan’s Space Rupture Slash had severed one of the True God’s arms, but he knew this technique couldn’t be used repeatedly, as it consumed enormous amounts of energy—after all, it was a forbidden divine technique!
Seeing that Saito’s magic could also harm the True God, Du Fan felt much more at ease. After all, god-tier experts had always been legends, and Du Fan had never seen one in person.
People often feel fear and uncertainty about things they don’t understand. Now that he knew the True God could be injured by Saito’s attacks, Du Fan began to make plans.
Even if it was a god—if it stood in his way, it had to be killed!
Du Fan already saw the elves as a training ground for his archers. How could he just sit idly by as this True God tried to subjugate them?
Moreover, this was the perfect time to establish his authority among the elves!
If he managed to drive back the True God, he would become their savior! He could then gather three to five thousand elf archers—hehe.
Du Fan stopped thinking further. Imagine having five thousand elite elf archers—a formidable long-range strike force! If a few holy-grade experts were added, and even a Sun Chaser was unleashed, what walls could withstand them?
With this in mind, Du Fan let out a loud shout and, while the True God was still smoking, swung his sword fiercely!
Surrounded by divine white light, Du Fan mobilized all his radiant combat energy!

As a peak Saint-level warrior, Du Fan activated the light combat energy throughout his body and channeled it into his sword, Frostfall Snow. Originally a cold sword, after being infused with such a massive amount of light combat energy by Du Fan, it instantly became like a bright sun in his hands! The sword, saturated with abundant light combat energy, emitted intense white light—so bright it was unbearable to look at! The powerful glow was formed by the concentration of light combat energy. Du Fan released all his energy in an instant. At that moment, the True God was still smoking in anger. With a twist of his wrist, a fierce white beam shot toward the True God. When Frostfall Snow touched the True God’s body, it was like placing a hot iron on glass—meeting strong resistance—but the red-hot iron continued to erode the glass bit by bit. “Ah!” The True God cried out in pain from Du Fan’s attack! As a god, he was utterly enraged. “Shameful! Truly shameful! Oh, no—shameful for a god!” he thought angrily. He stretched out his arm, grabbed Frostfall Snow, and swung it to throw both Du Fan and the sword away. Although Du Fan’s Absolute Protection Domain could resist the True God’s attacks, it was completely powerless against the True God simply grabbing the sword and throwing him away. In mid-air, Du Fan effortlessly turned and landed steadily on the ground. Though thrown far away, he wasn’t hurt at all. Instead, the True God’s shoulder, eroded by the light combat energy from Frostfall Snow, remained bloody and mangled. His hand, which had grabbed Frostfall Snow in anger, was also covered in wounds. The lightning strike from Saito earlier had only caused minor injuries that were not visible on the surface. This time, Du Fan’s light combat energy directly inflicted damage on the True God’s body—right in front of his hundreds of subordinates! The True God roared at the sky, and instantly, dark clouds gathered between heaven and earth. What had been sunny and pleasant moments ago turned dark as clouds surged everywhere, darkening the entire sky. From the dark sky came countless cawing sounds. The cawing grew louder as the birds approached. In no time, the sky was filled with their noises as countless black crows flew down from the clouds.

Those crows flew out and immediately launched suicidal attacks, swarming down at the elves below! Whenever a crow struck a person, it exploded in a burst of blood and flesh! The elves with lower cultivation levels were blown apart by the impacts, leaving gaping wounds. Although each crow might not have much individual attacking power, with so many of them attacking recklessly from all directions, many elves were killed quickly! Moreover, it seemed there were endless crows—the dark clouds didn’t diminish at all, nor did the number of crows emerging from them! In just a few minutes since their appearance, the elf race had lost over 600 members! This was a devastating blow to the already small population of elves. The elves had a naturally low population, and their lifespan was extremely long—losing a companion was a deeply painful event for them, as few died each year. Yet this spell cast by the True God took the lives of over 600 elves in one go! Additionally, the crows came from various directions, making it impossible to defend against them. Soon, the elves grouped together in small teams to fight back against the swarming crows, but more elves continued to die! There were too many crows! “Summon the Nature Elves! Quick, all mages above level 8, summon them now!” Saito shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of elves who were mages above level 8 began chanting together! A strong life force soon spread throughout the air! Tiny elves with transparent wings and heights of just an inch were summoned one after another. As soon as they appeared, they automatically faced the suicidal crows—some used small bows and arrows, while others fought with thumb-sized swords. With hundreds of mages above level 8 summoning them, the number of these tiny elves kept increasing. Soon, many of them flew into the dark clouds! As more elves flew into the clouds, the dark clouds began to disperse, and fewer crows came down from the sky. “Hmph, is that enough?” The True God’s lips twitched as he leaped into the air and threw a punch at Saito! With a howling wind, the True God got closer and closer to Saito!

Seeing the True God charging at him with overwhelming power, Saito quickly acted— a purple lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck the True God! The lightning caused the True God’s entire body to emit dark light, and he paused slightly. “Saito, you really have a lot of lightning— still not done blasting me even now! But I’m prepared. Do you think you can still hurt me? Now, give up your life!” The True God roared as he flew rapidly toward Saito, his intention to punch Saito remaining unchanged. At that moment, Naixiu finally took action! Seeing the True God flying swiftly toward her and Saito, Naixiu didn’t care about the Eternal Bow she wasn’t yet fully familiar with— she immediately drew her bow and shot an arrow in the direction the True God was coming from! The moment the arrow was shot, Naixiu felt a force within her body, one that seemed both destructive and creative, surging forth. As the Eternal Bow was drawn, a vortex appeared around it, radiating an aura of eternity— as if coming from the very beginning of time and space. With this aura, a grayish arrow formed on the bowstring of the Eternal Bow! That arrow had no trace of energy, its gray hue giving it an impression of emptiness. Once the arrow was formed, Naixiu released the bowstring, and the gray arrow shot silently toward the True God! In the True God’s eyes, this long arrow was completely unstoppable— its speed was too fast, its pressure too great! With a look of terror, the gray arrow silently pierced into the True God’s body. The True God froze mid-air before falling to the ground. Standing there, his body convulsed continuously, with grayish energy flowing throughout it, causing his size to fluctuate. Only the True God himself could truly experience what was happening. As soon as that silent, grayish energy entered his body, it instantly turned into extremely violent energy— as if trying to tear his body apart completely! Relying on his divine cultivation, the True God tried hard to suppress that energy. Eventually, he could no longer hold back, and blood sprayed from his mouth. Numerous tiny wounds appeared all over his body, from which blood kept gushing out. In an instant, the True God became a bloody mess.

With this arrow shot, the Eternal Bow in Naixiu’s hands gradually lost its special aura, and in no time, it became an ordinary bow, lying quietly in her hands. With Naixiu’s current skill level, she could only sustain the power of the Eternal Bow for one arrow! Seeing the True God injured to such an extent, the hundreds of experts brought by the True God were stunned! Watching their god suffer such injuries, these experts were shocked by the True God’s condition and immediately lost their fighting spirit! Soon, one after another, these hundreds of experts were subdued by the attacks of the elf race. Seizing this rare opportunity, Du Fan suddenly flashed a fierce smile, pushed off the ground with both feet, and rushed swiftly toward the True God!
