Chapter 014: The Evil God
Hanshuang Luoxue seemed to cry out in Du Fan’s hands! With successive hisses, Du Fan felt joy in his heart—could Hanshuang Luoxue be sentient? After attacking the body of the God, had it become capable of sensing things?
Gathering light combat energy throughout his body once again, Du Fan now resembled a god walking among mortals, radiating a sacred aura! That pure brilliance appeared utterly serene amidst the chaos of blood and violence.
Carrying Hanshuang Luoxue, Du Fan swiftly rushed toward the True God. The True God’s bleeding had stopped. Having lost so much blood, the True God seemed even thinner. As Du Fan charged at him with Hanshuang Luoxue, the True God suddenly expanded his abdomen and spat out a cloud of grayish gas.
Opening his mouth, still dripping with blood, the True God smiled and said, “What wonderful Eternal Energy! It’s a shame my cultivation isn’t high enough to harness it.”
Seeing the True God in such a state, Du Fan was stunned, but his prepared sword still swung down irresistibly!
He stretched out a finger, upon which a dark bead suddenly appeared. As soon as the bead appeared, the True God held it between his fingers and faced Du Fan’s Hanshuang Luoxue.
When the black bead touched Hanshuang Luoxue, it was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil—instantly, everything boiled! Hanshuang Luoxue began burning fiercely, with black flames spreading across its entire blade. Once those flames reached the blade, they spread at a slow pace.
Carrying endless terrifying power, the black flames gradually reached the hilt. Du Fan quickly shook his hand and threw Hanshuang Luoxue away.
“Du Fan, do you think just because this god is injured, you can take advantage of the situation?” The True God suddenly grinned viciously and slowly stretched out a palm to grab Du Fan.
Seeing the True God reaching for him, Du Fan quickly tried to dodge. But no matter how he tried to avoid it, the palm kept moving toward his neck.
That palm seemed to block all of Du Fan’s escape routes. Amidst his desperate attempts to evade, the True God suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.
At such close range, Du Fan couldn’t activate his Absolute Protection Domain. Moreover, since he couldn’t enter that void state now, his Absolute Protection Domain simply couldn’t be deployed!
Grasping Du Fan’s neck, the True God lifted him into the air as if holding a chick! With a thought from Setho, the eighth lightning strike came down! Despite the lightning exploding around him and causing flames and smoke, the True God’s hand holding Du Fan’s neck refused to let go! Seeing this, Naixiu also grew anxious. Though she couldn’t use the Eternal Bow, her cultivation skills were still there—she drew her bow and fired a forbidden arrow technique! Star Fall! Another Star Fall. The True God, still gripping Du Fan’s neck, merely sneered coldly at the Star Falls. Standing motionless, he was determined to hold onto Du Fan’s neck even as he braced against another Star Fall! A Star Fall struck the True God, and after withstanding its attack, a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth—clearly, he too had suffered severe damage! As the True God continued to hold Du Fan’s neck, Du Fan’s arms flailed helplessly in the air, his legs kicking wildly as he endured the Star Falls behind him, yet the True God remained firmly grasping his neck. That Star Fall not only harmed the True God but also affected Du Fan! As the damage from the Star Fall struck Du Fan, a white light suddenly flashed across his body, pushing back the force of the Star Fall. At the same time, as the Absolute Protection Field repelled the damage from the Star Fall, another white light flashed across his neck! Leveraging the resistance from the Star Fall, the Absolute Protection Field finally pushed away the True God’s hand holding Du Fan’s neck as well. In that moment of relief, Du Fan quickly stepped back and took deep breaths. As he retreated, Moses stepped forward, his entire body engulfed in golden flames. His long sword had also turned golden due to Moses’s magical energy. Leaping through the air in a graceful arc, surrounded by golden flames, Moses raised his sword and began attacking the True God. “Divine Transformation Technique… Using this move, Moses will lose at least a hundred years of his lifespan,” Setho sighed, watching the golden flames engulfing Moses. The Divine Transformation Technique allowed him to instantly raise his cultivation level by several tiers—now, Moses possessed the strength of a realm apex being! Entering the True God’s range, Moses quickly activated gravity space, doubling the gravity in that area! The True God staggered slightly, frowning.
“True God, come! Let’s fight!” Moses shouted loudly.
“Not bad, kid. You’ve actually mastered a domain like gravity space. Such domain abilities are among the highest in all domains! If one day you can reach that level, your achievements will be boundless,” said the True God.
“Of course. After all, I won’t be the lowest-class god like you!” Moses retorted mockingly.
“You! Fine, you’re deliberately trying to provoke me!” the True God snapped. What he hated most was the fact that he was the lowest-class god.
There were unspeakable hardships behind this. Though the True God appeared as a supreme god before these humans and elves, in reality, he was the lowest-class god. For that reason, he always acted cautiously, behaving like a god in fear. Finally, when he came to this world filled, in his eyes, with lowly intelligent beings, he felt he could stand tall again. He even gave himself a grand title—True God!
But ever since Saito exposed him as just a lowest-class god, the sense of inferiority he hadn’t felt in this space for a long time resurfaced. This was utterly intolerable!
Spitting out another tongue sword, the True God fought against Moses with his sword!
Moses’s long sword, with each strike, emitted endless golden flames that scattered in all directions.
Meanwhile, the True God’s sword was wreathed in black flames, which never dissipated with each attack.
“Moses will still lose,” Saito sighed.
“Why, Great Patriarch?” Naixiu asked curiously from the side.
“Look at Moses. After using the divination technique, his overall cultivation has barely reached that level. The golden flames around him carry divine power. But look at Moses’s divine energy—it fragments with every attack. In contrast, the True God’s black divine energy isn’t consumed at all aside from being used in attacks. So I’m sure Moses will lose,” Saito said.
“But, Great Patriarch, Moses isn’t fighting alone!” Naixiu said solemnly.
After saying that, Naixiu closed her eyes and shot a sword toward the True God. That sword pierced through space and struck straight at the True God’s heart!
The true god fighting Moses spat out another mouthful of blood! At that moment, Du Fan also picked up Frostfall Snow, which had returned to its original state, infused it with Light Combat Qi, and thrust it hard from behind at the true god! A strong stench spread, and the true god’s eyes turned blood red! “Ah! You’re all going to die! You’ll all perish!” The true god’s eyes grew redder and redder, and its body continued to swell! With a bang, Frostfall Snow and Nayixiu’s arrows were forced out by the true god! “This can only injure the true god; it cannot destroy him. To kill a god, one must take away its divinity—only then will the god die,” said Saito. “Divinity?” Nayixiu asked in confusion. “There’s no time to explain everything now. You’ll understand eventually,” said Saito. The true god’s body swelled to over two meters tall, with black muscles intertwined everywhere. Its eyes were now blood red! The true god had transformed! After transforming, it stretched out a palm the size of a fan and swatted at Moses. Moses was flung dozens of meters before falling to the ground. Moses, who had just been deified, spat blood from the blow and struggled desperately on the ground. With just one swing, the transformed true god severely injured Moses, leaving his fate uncertain! Turning around, it swung at Du Fan as well. Du Fan’s body flashed with white light as his Absolute Protection Field activated, shielding him from the blow—but he was still sent flying dozens of meters away. Getting up awkwardly, Du Fan stared intently at the true god. The true god glanced at Du Fan, saw that its blow had done no effect, and ignored him, striding swiftly toward Saito and Nayixiu! Although the true god was now huge in size, its speed hadn’t diminished at all! Despite being hundreds of meters away from Saito and Nayixiu, it seemed to take just a few steps before arriving right in front of them. Extending its fists, it struck Saito and Nayixiu, sending both flying dozens of meters away! “No!” Du Fan cried out in pain as he saw Nayixiu spew blood mid-air after being hit by the true god’s fist! After hitting Saito and Nayixiu, the true god strode away quickly. Wherever it went, the elves took to the air, all sent flying by the true god’s fists or slaps!
Seeing Naixiu injured, Du Fan’s eyes also turned red! Wielding Frostfall in his hand, Du Fan fought desperately against the True God! Watching the True God display his power by seriously injuring three of the opponent’s four top experts at once, the remaining over 300 experts of the True God’s forces cheered in unison! The situation was highly unfavorable for the elves! Seeing Du Fan stubbornly following him, getting flung away time and time again but still quickly rushing back, the True God became enraged. Ignoring whether Du Fan had Absolute Protection, he pursued him relentlessly and attacked him! Du Fan was flung around in the sky, and the True God deliberately struck him wherever he went, ensuring Du Fan never left the square where the ritual had taken place. After enduring countless punches from the True God, Du Fan gradually felt that his Absolute Protection was about to fail! After being hit countless times, finally, under one of the True God’s punches, Du Fan suddenly felt intense pain all over his body. A warm, bloody stream surged from his chest to his throat, and as his mouth opened, a gush of blood sprayed out! “Haha, Du Fan, your Absolute Protection has finally been broken by me! Haha, you desecrator of gods, prepare to die!” the True God laughed maniacally.
