Chapter 269: Burned to Death, the Lord Patriarch Falls
“Fall, mortal!”
The One-Ard Elder spat out those two words and attempted to smash Emperor Might.
Emperor Might struggled to get up, and as he was about to take his fist, Ling Jiu intervened.
Ling Jiu raised his fist and t the attack.
Krak!!
The fists t like Mars crashing into Earth. Following a loud thunderclap, a violent shock wave blasted out.
It ford a terrifying hurricane as Emperor Might, Vulcan, Yang Ling’er, and the others were all instantly blasted away by the shock wave.
At the sa ti, wherever the shock wave passed, the void turned into a fragile mirror as they shattered without a sound, turning everything within a radius of tens of miles into dust.
Looking at the instigator of everything, Ling Jiu, was sent flying as he shook his right arm vigorously, obviously in pain.
Looking at the One-Ard Elder, he still stood casually where he stood, not even budging at all.
In just one exchange, superiority was already determined.
At the very least, in this exchange of fists, Ling Jiu was clearly at a disadvantage.
“This old coot... what power!”
Ling Jiu took a deep breath as a glint appeared in his eyes.
“You are actually stronger than him!”
The One-Ard Elder looked at Ling Jiu seriously for the first ti as surprise flashed past his opaque eyes.
“For the Realm Under to have so many powerhouses, this is quite beyond my expectations. However, you cannot stop the return of the gods!”
As soon as his voice trailed off, the One-Ard Elder stepped forward, and his body suddenly swelled.
Following sharp sounds of cracking, the silver armor, cloak, and other items of clothing on his body were torn apart as the One-Ard Elder transford into a fifty-ter-tall giant in the blink of an eye.
“Gigantization Arcana!”
Emperor Might and Vulcan exclaid in unison.
The power displayed by the One-Ard Elder earlier had already shocked them. Now that he had begun to use the Gigantization Arcana, his combat power would definitely increase sharply.
That would be troubleso.
“The Lord Patriarch is going all out!”
“Goodness, I never thought I could see the Lord Patriarch go all out. I’m psyched!”
“They are done for! Those insignificant mortals are done for...”
When the five saw what happened, they could not help but be very excited.
The Lord Patriarch going all out was sothing very rare, especially since the gods left the Realm Under, the Lord Patriarch had not joined in the fray for more than thousands of years now.
For them to witness it now, it was sothing beyond their imagination.
“Mortal, your strength threatens the gods, and you... must die!”
The more-than-fifty-ters-tall One-Ard Elder was like a titan, and his voice was reminiscent of rolling thunder as it blasted across the realm.
His voice then materialized into sonic waves that blasted out across all directions, shaking the world in a boom.
As his voice trailed off, the One-Ard Elder raised his massive palm and slamd it toward Ling Jiu.
“Calling yourself gods every ti you open your mouth, you really think yourself as one, huh!”
Ling Jiu let out a cold snort as his body also swelled.
In an instant, he beca over fifty ters tall, and in terms of size, he was no inferior to the One-Ard Elder.
Seeing Ling Jiu’s transformation, the One-Ard Elder narrowed his eyes slightly as all of his strength was poured into his right palm, increasing its strength by several tis over.
“The now is completely different from earlier!”
Ling Jiu sneered and raised his right fist to et the attack.
Dush!!
The fists and palm strike collided.
Then, sothing shocking happened.
The One-Ard Elder who had held the upper hand was sent flying, and he was pushed back more than a dozen ters before he could stabilize himself.
His right arm was trembling violently, as his entire arm was numb and sore. Obviously, in the exchange earlier, he ca out worse for wear!
“Lord Patriarch... is at a disadvantage?”
The five widened their eyes as they could not believe what they had just witnessed.
In their minds, the Lord Patriarch was the most powerful existence of the Celtic pantheon, and even during the era where the gods were fighting for hegemony, the Lord Patriarch was one of those Primary Deities at the top.
But now, he had actually lost to a re Realm Under mortal?
Incredulity and disbelief!
“What strength!”
The One-Ard Elder stared at Ling Jiu.
“That’s it?”
Ling Jiu shook his head slightly. “I only used thirty percent of my strength.”
The One-Ard Elder’s eyes shrank as he coldly said, “Impossible!”
“Believe it or not, this is the truth!”
Ling Jiu smiled faintly as he appeared before the One-Ard Elder with just a step and lashed out another fist. Seeing this, the One-Ard Elder t the attack.
Dush!!
However, this ti, there was only a loud crack as the One-Ard Elder let out a scream before he was sent flying.
He flew several hundred ters away before he stopped. anwhile, his one arm was bursting open bit by bit as blood flowed out of his gaping wounds.
“That hit only took up fifty percent of my strength.”
Ling Jiu faintly uttered the sentence before Blinking up to the One-Ard Elder and punching him again.
Baaam!!
The One-Ard Elder flew away spewing blood in his wake. A hole was blasted out of his back as the force of Ling Jiu’s fist ripped through his body, causing a fist mark to also appear on his chest.
“That blow was seventy percent of my strength!”
Woooosh!!
Ling Jiu reappeared before the One-Ard Elder, and as their eyes t, Ling Jiu was apathetic. The One-Ard Elder, on the other hand, was full of fear and terror.
During the first clash, he thought that Ling Jiu was like other mortals, and was absolutely not like him, but what happened next showed how wrong he was.
Ling Jiu’s strength seed to soar infinitely, and it had finally reached the point of crushing him.
“How can a re mortal of the Realm Under... be so strong?”
The One-Ard Elder found it unacceptable, and he could sense Ling Jiu’s vigorous vitality. He was clearly still incredibly young.
How could a young mortal like him be so strong?
“Next, I will use my full strength!”
Ling Jiu faintly said, “I hope you can withstand it.”
“Protect the Lord Patriarch!”
The brawny man in silver armor and the other four yelled in unison upon seeing this as they charged at Ling Jiu. Seeing so, the edge of Ling Jiu’s lips curled up slightly.
“After obtaining so many Arcanas from the Void Behemoth, I still haven’t had the ti to test them out. You lot will be my test subjects!”
Just as his voice trailed off, his Arcana Field spread out in an instant, shrouding the five.
The next mont, an almost transparent fla appeared on their bodies out of thin air. The fla was formless; it was without any shape to speak off.
The only thing they could see was the void around them started to distort, becoming illusory like a superheated air.
This fla was the infamous fla of the Void Behemoth, the Void Starfla.
“Arghhh!!”
The five let out a shrill cry as the clothes on their body were instantly immolated the mont the Void Starfla appeared.
Imdiately after, their bodies and skin were instantly burnt into a crisp before being reduced to ash.
That was followed by their muscles and tissues. Within a few breaths, the five were burned down to the bone.
When the fla finally reached their bones...
Even the bones did not last that ultimately as they were burned into nothingness.
Seeing this, everyone gasped. Be it Emperor Might, Vulcan, or the One-Ard Elder, all of them were startled!
It took less than 10 seconds for the Void Starfla to materialize on the five gods and reduce them to ashes.
Ten seconds!
That was all it took for five stellar lifeforms to perish!
This was just too terrifying!
The most frightening this was, no one had seen the existence of the Void Starfla.
They could only see the five being engulfed and immolated by so kind of fla before their bodies were quickly reduced to ash. As to what kind of fla it was, no one could see it clearly.
“What kind of fla was that just now?”
Vulcan murmured to himself, “Doesn’t it seem so much more terrifying than mine?”
“What a terrifying fla for five ancient stellar lifeforms were reduced to cinders just like that?”
Emperor Might was shocked.
“Brother is even stronger than before!”
Although Yang Ling’er was surprised, she was more delighted and full of admiration. “He is always ahead of us!”
“Brother has always been aweso!”
Ling Xiaotong had no grasp on how strong her brother was, but she knew that since the day her brother awakened his Arcana, he had been really aweso.
“Now, only the One-Ard Elder is left.”
Ling Tianci said, “Once he is dealt with, this problem should be completely resolved, and we can return to Whitehole 2 to train with peace of mind.”
“Indeed!”
Yang Su nodded.
“And now... you’re the only one left.”
Ling Jiu looked at the One-Ard Elder. “So, how do you want to die? Be smashed to death by my fist? Or be burned to death by my Void Starfla like the five of them?”
“Mortal, you are powerful!”
Even in the face of death, the One-Ard Elder remained very calm. He had lived for far too long, and his fear of death was not as pronounced.
“You may kill , but let tell you now, the glory of the gods is eternal!”
“The gods will return to this land again soon, and by then, this will beco a paradise for the gods. The gods are eternal, the gods are legion!”
“Legion?”
Ling Jiu flicked his fingers. “If one shows up, I’ll kill that one, and if two shows up, I’ll go for a double-kill then.”
“I don’t believe there can be so many Arcanists during the ancient tis with primitive tech! Also, I’ll tell you sothing as well, I look forward to the so-called return of the gods.”
The mont he said that, Ling Jiu struck his fist out, instantly blasting the One-ard Elder’s head into smithereens. After that, he collected and stored the latter’s body in his Inner World with a wave of his hand.
“Disintegrate!”
Splash!
The One-Ard Elder’s body was quickly broken down and transford into pure life energies, Gene Arcana, and a huge amount of Dark Psionic Energy.
“How strong is this guy’s soul? That much of Dark Psionic Energy was produced?” Ling Jiu was surprised.
“This old man has lived for a very long ti, so his soul is naturally quite strong.” Leoux’s voice rang out.
“You can extract this part of the Dark Psionic Energy and sent it into your sea of consciousness to expand the soul nebula.”
“Not bad.”
Ling Jiu extracted part of the Dark Psionic Energy as Leoux spoke and transferred them into his sea of consciousness.
The life energy and Gene Arcana were left behind to be used as resources for the expansion of the floating island.
After this, Ling Jiu’s consciousness returned to the outside world.
“Ling Jiu, it’s all thanks to you!”
Vulcan, Emperor Might and the others had already gathered around. Their eyes were full of admiration and gratefulness, but there was also a touch of... awe.
The strong, would be awe-inspiring no matter where they go, and now Ling Jiu was obviously stronger than Emperor Might or Vulcan, and he was a well-deserved powerhouse.
“We are all Earthlings of the new age. We should be helping one another. We cannot let a bunch of old coots who should have long been dead to do us in!”
Ling Jiu smiled and then looked at the huge pit below. “That’s the Divine Cavern? Which of you wants to go down and have a look?”
“!”
“I want to go too!”
“Let’s go together then!”
