Chapter 632: Chapter 632: The Great Battle Against Setek’s Son
“`
Now that a Fifth Level strongman has co forward on the other side, he will certainly join the battle—this is a good opportunity.
If I can kill and devour this Fifth Level Crowman, it will definitely be a great nourishnt. If enough strongn are devoured, perhaps there is a chance to successfully coalesce a True Body in this world.
“You will command the legion while I et this world’s peerless strongman. There’s no problem, right?”
Lin Xiao turned back to look at Nolan, his voice appearing directly in his mind.
Nolan nodded seriously in response:
...
“If Lord Lin Xiao can hold off the enemy’s Fifth Level strongman, I can hold off the enemy’s army.”
Even Nolan himself did not realize that, upon discovering Lin Xiao’s true strength as a Fifth Level, his attitude had instinctively changed.
In a world headed down the path of colonization in Other Domains, the strong are revered even more so.
With his promise obtained, Lin Xiao no longer worried about these matters. He looked up at the Crowman Army on the other side, took a step out into the air, and with each step, ripples spread out, bringing him to the forefront of both armies.
At the sa ti, an equally powerful elder Crowman stepped forward from among the Crowman Army, with several Level 4 Crown maintaining a suppressive stance a few hundred ters away in the air.
The elder Crowman called out loudly:
“Strongn from an Alien World, why do you slaughter Setek’s children?”
“Souls, flesh, as well as resources!”
His response was simple and forceful, rendering the elder Crowman speechless for a mont. Shortly after, rage flickered in his eyes, and with it, a layer of illusory flas twisted the air around him, a terror-laden aura mixed with an angry screech spreading across the battlefield:
“Setek’s children will never submit. The invaders from Other Domains shall die at the hands of Setek’s children.”
Lin Xiao was unconcerned with the elder Crowman’s aura; re presence could not intimidate him. What caught his keen interest was a key piece of information ntioned by the elder—the nas Setek and the children of Setek.
He had heard of the na Setek before in docunts; it was the na of the God of the Crows worshipped in this world, and there was also a Temple of Setek in this world.
The God of the Crows…
Lin Xiao could not confirm his real existence.
No, to be precise, the God of the Crows did once exist, but that was a legend from tens of thousands of years ago in the Crow World. In the last ten thousand years, there had been no information about the God of the Crows, with the most talked-about being the children of Setek.
Since Setek was one of this world’s most secretive pieces of information, even the reconnaissance teams were unclear whether the so-called children of Setek were indeed descendants of the God of the Crows or simply a special title used by Crown strongn above the Fifth Level.
Of course, Lin Xiao was not particularly worried about the so-called God of the Crows. Legends dated back tens of thousands of years, and normally, only super strongn above Level 7 could live for tens of thousands of years. It was impossible for those below Level 7 to live for so long.
And from the multiple accounts about the God of the Crows collected, it was almost certain that this so-called ancestor of the Crown was not a super strongman above Level 7.
The God of the Crows was rely the ancestor of the Crown, not a true god, and could not have lived so long.
As long as it was not a Level 7 super strongman, Lin Xiao would not fear, and if it really ca down to it, he could abandon his troops and flee.
Although abandoning his subordinates would ruin his reputation, staying alive was all that mattered. Moreover, he had already demonstrated his strength at Level 5, ranking just below the Sea King among the empire’s top strongn and on par with most of the legion commanders and many Sea Kings. At most, he would be reprimanded and sternly admonished, but there would not be any actual punishnt.
Unwilling to engage in futile conversation, an exchange of a re few words shattered the Crown’s illusion. The elder Crowman, enveloped in transparent flas, swelled rapidly along with his body, soon transforming into a massive Crowman over ten ters tall, bedecked in colorful plumage, with the illusory flas expanding into blazing fire. From a distance, one could mistake it for a colorful Phoenix.
Lin Xiao also did not hesitate to manifest his nearly forty-ter Golden Titan true form. His foot stomped down, and the Void visibly sank, the terrifying strength pulling at the space, forcibly causing the space within a thousand-ter radius to descend with it, causing both Crown and Allied Forces soldiers within range to feel their bodies involuntarily tilt.
The Setek’s child, now a colorful Crow, opened its beak to let out a piercing screech, spewing a twisted stream of transparent ferocious flas that quickly morphed into a flock of firebirds, resembling Phoenixes, spreading out to attack the Golden Titan.
Where the firebirds passed, the air twisted and the temperature soared rapidly, becoming unbearable for ordinary people.
Both Nolan and the Crowman commander issued orders almost simultaneously to retreat, staying far from this battlefield.
The six Level 4 Crown who served as the rearguard also withdrew, moving back seven to eight kiloters without coordinating with one another. However, they did not retreat to their own army’s side but rather scattered, standing ten kiloters apart, forming a loosely coordinated circle encompassing the battlefield.
This maneuver had several purposes: one was to stay in formation, so that if the child of Setek fell into a disadvantage, they could co to his aid.

It was also to prevent Lin Xiao from escaping after being defeated in battle.
Moreover, they could exert pressure on Lin Xiao, forcing him to divert so of his attention to them, so that the mont the fight reached a critical juncture, they could imdiately encircle and kill him.
From the rear, Nolan could clearly see everything. He was sowhat anxious, but at this mont, he had no solution. Among the Allied Forces, he was the only Level 4, but he had to command the army. The Crowman commander opposite him was quite formidable. As soon as he made a move, several Crowman powerhouses would intercept him and then launch an attack. The only thing he could do was to confront the Crowman Army. As long as this front did not collapse, that would be the greatest support for Lin Xiao.
Nolan had made up his mind that if he survived this battle, he would definitely suggest to the legion commander that they request high-level support from the Empire.
Just at this one battlefield, close to ten Level 4 powerhouses and a Fifth Level son of Setek had appeared. There were three kingdoms in this world, and even more powerful was the Setek Temple. The strength of the high-ranking powerhouses was stronger than estimated. It was necessary to request support from the Sea Emperor to have confidence in crushing the rebellion of this world.
In the center of the battlefield, the son of Setek spewed out hundreds of three to four-ter long burning crows at the Golden Titan. The terrible high temperature made the air distort violently, but the Titan was unfazed, reaching out to grab a firebird that pounced on him and squeezing it to burst. Opening his mouth wide, he took a fierce inhale, and the terrifying suction force drew the nearby firebirds into a funnel-like vortex shrinking inward, with more than a dozen burning firebirds being pulled in and swallowed by him.
The son of Setek had an impassive expression. He raised both arms, with his fingers loosely clenched, as the firebirds quickly converged on him and rged into his body. The flas burning on him intensified, transforming into a pair of huge fiery wings surging towards the sky. Then, he emitted another strange, piercing screech, and eight Level 4 Crown, as if hearing a command, rushed over rapidly, their bodies also igniting in transparent flas as they quickly transford into fire crows of similar size.
“Setek above, please endow with infinite strength!”
A sharp and shrill cry emanated from the giant firebird, and in an instant, Lin Xiao sensed a surge of energy shooting skyward. Seconds later, he abruptly looked up into the sky, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise and realization. Then, with a sudden grunt, his entire body plumted down, smashing heavily onto the ground and setting off a ring of intense fla that exploded outward.
At the sa ti, the eight Level 4 Crown had arrived, flapping their wings at the sa ti. Infinite flas poured out, swiftly transforming into chains that stretched out and shot into the fiery ring on the ground. The eight chains locked down the trendous Golden Titan.
At that mont, unknown to anyone, the clouds that had lingered in the Vault of Heaven for ten thousand years dissipated. The Vault was pitch black, and all over the sky, a darkness invisible to ordinary people was converging into a vortex spanning over ten kiloters. The center of the space twisted, revealing the massive, transparent face of a Crowman resembling a deity. With a rciless gaze overseeing the Earth, it opened its mouth and released a transparent column of light like lightning, striking the son of Setek.
“So that’s how it is!”
At that very instant, the world suddenly lit up. Nolan’s palm subconsciously tightened, warping the hilt of his sword as his fingers embedded into it. At this mont, the thought of ‘running’ involuntarily surfaced in his mind, but his strong willpower forced him to hold back from issuing that command.
His gaze was fixed on the Golden Titan bound by the eight chains, his tension mixed with a sliver of anticipation.
As for the Golden Titan locked by the eight chains, not only did he show no worry in the face of the son of Setek’s terrifying strike, but he could even afford to divide his attention to observe the slowly vanishing face in the Vault of Heaven, murmuring to himself:
“So that’s how it is!”
“Boom!”
Infinite energy ford a terrifying fla shockwave, engulfing thousands of ters in radius. The space distorted, the Earth sank, and the horrific energy shock was so intense that even Nolan, more than ten kiloters away, felt his heart palpitate and sink.
Taking a deep breath, he beckoned with his hand, and the vice commander stepped forward. Nolan whispered:
“Prepare to retreat!”
The aide nodded, turning to leave, but after just a few steps, he heard Nolan’s slightly trembling voice behind him:
“Wait a mont!”
Surprised, he turned back and saw Nolan looking towards the battlefield with shocked eyes. Following the direction of his gaze, he too was stunned by what he saw.
In the middle of the collapsed and sinking battlefield, the endless flas were slowly dissipating. Through the twisting light, one could vaguely see a Golden Giant God standing between heaven and earth, with one end of an invisible column of light connected to the Giant, and the other to the Vault above. An invisible force field extended from the body of the Giant, repelling the surrounding distortions and burning flas.
“This… it’s impossible!”
This scene was witnessed by all, and reactions varied, but the strongest reactions ca from the Crow people, especially the many Level 4 powerhouses, as if their faith had collapsed and they could not accept it.
The son of Setek was outright bewildered:
“How is this possible?”
“Why shouldn’t it be possible!”
Lin Xiao, with the transparent column of light descending from above upon his forehead, looked downwards and said in a cold voice:
“The power you borrowed from the God of the Crows, who has already rged with the world’s origin and replaced the will of the world’s origin with his own, is indeed very powerful. Even a First Level powerhouse in the legion would surely die, but unfortunately, the strongest aspect of is my soul!”
The son of Setek’s move was indeed formidable. He directly used the will of the God of the Crows, Setek, who had already rged with the origin of this world and substituted the world’s origin will with his own. It was as if the will of the world’s origin of the Crow World directly attacked Lin Xiao’s soul. If it were any other powerhouse from the Sea King World, probably no one but the Sea King himself could withstand it.
