Chapter 639: Eastern Azure Dragon
Chapter 639: Eastern Azure Dragon
Beyond the Mortal Realm.
"Stars falling like rain... What does this signify?"
White Dharma King stared at the sky, and after the crimson 'Chiyou's Banner' passed by, another purple star fell.
She was shocked, "The Imperial Star's Flutter, chaos in the world?"
"This isn't just chaos. It's the resentment and anger that have been suppressed in the mortal world for who knows how long, finally finding an outlet..."
Fang Xing had already regained his human form and felt his Doomgod Vocation rejoicing.
After all, he had orchestrated the Twilight of the Gods and hastened the gods' destruction! The power of destruction was elated!
"Once I've destroyed one deity after another, perhaps I can use this to ascend to a Primordial Deity?"
"However, Primordial Deities are the very essence of this world. If I want to go further, it's best to follow the Panwu Path..."
Within the Panwu Path, there's also the Domain of Strength and Death!
Achieving greatness is simple now; just kill a saint with the Strength Vocation or Death Vocation and seize their divine mantle.
He turned to Poison-Hand Scholar, "With the Deities' Downfall, the world is in pursuit. Spread this news far and wide."
The gods have enslaved the world for so long, could their subjects not feel any resentment? Even within the Great Zhou Pantheon, there are many discontented ones.
Before, when the ruler demanded, the subjects had no choice but to obey.
But now, the Great Zhou has lost its grip...
And the opportunity to become a deity is right before them! Even those who were once loyal followers of the gods might betray them for the right price.
"Loyalty will be rewarded... With the world in chaos, I intend to form an alliance and storm the Three Despairs Pass..."
Fang Xing smiled and took out a golden statue, "This is an object connected to the God of Shadows and Thieves. Deliver it to the Kill-Life Cult Master. If you can surround and kill this deity, you might elevate several new gods! I promise that if you make it to the point of deification, I will accept you as my subordinate deity."
"Deification?!"
The Black and White Guardians and Poison-Hand Scholar were stunned.
They never imagined that they would have the chance to become gods!
Finding a fallen deity from the Great Zhou Pantheon is already a challenge.
But with the Great Zhou Golden Statue, it's like having a compass.
"Alright, proceed with the plan."
"I must depart as well."
Fang Xing felt a sense of urgency in the dingy basement.
This time, he caught the gods off guard by leveraging a higher perspective and secret techniques.
However, as time passes, the gods will recover.
They might hide, form alliances, quietly restore their strength, or even find a way to sever the mysterious connection with the Twelve Golden Statues.
Hence, speed is crucial! Punching the South Nursing Home and kicking the North Kindergarten is also a legitimate military strategy!
A flash of green light, and Fang Xing's figure vanished.
Poison-Hand Scholar felt a shadow covering the sky.
He looked up and saw a colossal dragon, a hundred meters long! Its body was enormous, entirely blue, and on its thick scales, moss, green grass, and small trees grew, forming a self-sustaining ecosystem.
—Wilderness Transformation!
—Eastern Azure Dragon (Natural Avatar Form)!
With Fang Xing's current occupational level, the Wilderness Transformation couldn't be limited to minor changes.
He had already surpassed that threshold and entered the True Dragon level!
Furthermore, it wasn't an ordinary True Dragon or a Yinglong.
It was the 'Eastern Azure Dragon Form'!
Roar!
The Eastern Azure Dragon let out a long, ancient roar, and its figure vanished in an instant.
Whoosh!
High in the sky, the frigid gale was like a gentle breeze to Fang Xing.
In his dragon claws, the Great Zhou Golden Statue seemed like a toy compared to his size.
"Deity of Strength and Courage!"
"You're the first..."
In that moment, Fang Xing made his decision.
...
In a deep valley, a temple dedicated to the Deity of Strength and Courage remained hidden.
Although they were all true deities of the Great Zhou Pantheon, the Deity of Strength and Courage didn't trust his fellow companions.
Even during the previous encounter, when the God of Destruction lusted after their power, the God of War stood up for them but later demanded a hefty 'price.'
Moreover, he was well aware that the God of War had long coveted the domain of strength and courage and, at the very least, wanted to subjugate the Deity of Strength and Courage as a subordinate deity.
Previously, due to being part of the same pantheon and the main deity residing in the celestial realm, he wasn't worried about the God of War's ambitions.
But now, everything had changed.
"I need a better vessel..."
The Deity of Strength and Courage raised his hand, revealing a sturdy arm with calloused palms.
This was one of his chosen followers.
Hiding within his follower's body reduced the suppression from the mortal world and slightly lessened the consumption of divine power.
Because of that damn God of Destruction triggering the Twilight of the Gods and toppling numerous deities, he didn't know when he could return to the celestial realm to replenish his power, making every bit of divine energy precious.
Even if he replaced the follower, it would consume the follower's life force!
Just then!
The Deity of Strength and Courage shuddered, sensing an impending threat to his life through his divine intuition.
"How many years has it been?"
"How many years has it been since I last felt the crisis of falling?"
The God of Strength and Courage roared, "Prepare to receive!"
A dazzling array of spiritual lights appeared, known as the 'Proof of Courage', empowered by the Courage Domain, even an ant would dare charge at a dragon.
This temple was one of His secret strongholds on Earth, with many loyal warriors, most of whom were Yang Shen warriors, and even a Demigod leading them!
With the blessing of the 'Proof of Courage', they could withstand the siege of several Demigods.
'But... was the divine grace I bestowed too generous?'
The God of Strength and Courage felt a hint of unease, 'Demigods... they are already a threat to me.'
As a True Deity, He could easily elevate a believer to the Yang Shen realm.
The newest, smallest, and weakest one said, "In the 69th book, the first one to reach the top will become the leader!"
But Demigods were a different story!
Demigods not only required believers to possess the qualifications to ignite their own divine fire but also needed True Deities to consume their divinity!
Hence, in the churches of True Deities, Yang Shen practitioners were as common as dogs, if not more so.
But Demigods were always an extreme minority!
At this moment, the God of Strength and Courage felt a twinge of unease—because the Demigod He had elevated had a divinity that was exceptionally compatible with His domain, and taking over His divine vocation would be incredibly simple!
In other words, it was a perfect match for the job!
Just then, a long dragon's roar echoed through the sky.
And then...
A shadow fell from the sky!
A thunderous roar shook the ground as Fang Xing, now over ten thousand meters tall, with his massive body and terrifying weight, needed only to fly and then strike to bring about a terrifying disaster for the mortal realm.
With no restraint, Fang Xing landed with a mighty crash.
His body coiled, and the original valley was flattened into nothingness.
The temple, the Yang Shen warriors, the legendary fighters—all were reduced to dust.
Even the original valley was transformed into a flat land, leaving only a faint smell of blood in the air.
Suddenly!
Bang!
A mound of earth exploded, and a small golden giant emerged.
His muscles were like golden proportions, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, covered in various divine shields and boosts, as he roared, "Destruction!!!"
- A Heavenly Deity Descends!
"As expected..."
The enormous azure dragon witnessed this scene, but his dragon eyes held a hint of mockery, "A 30-level Occupational Level is no match for a typical Demigod... but unfortunately for you, you've met me!"
Even the main deity of the Great Zhou pantheon, with their total Occupational Level, might not surpass 50 levels in this hastily descended state!
Looking at the golden giant who could barely match his gaze through sheer divine power, especially with his distinct facial features, Fang Xing chuckled, and his dragon tail lashed out!
- Dragon Tail Whip!
In an instant, the divine shields on the God of Strength and Courage shattered layer by layer.
The originally marble-like body shattered into pieces, and golden divine blood flowed out.
"No!"
"The main god will not let you off!"
"Spare me, I'm willing to become your subordinate deity!"
Fang Xing pressed down with his dragon claws, hearing a plea for mercy from a lump of flesh and blood.
"Unfortunately... I only want you dead!"
Slap!
Fang Xing exerted force with his dragon claws, completely severing the God of Strength and Courage's last shred of life.
And then...
His massive dragon head gently inhaled, absorbing strands of golden light, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
On the upgraded attribute panel, new prompts appeared:
【Killed target! Gain 10 points of divinity from the target!】
【Due to the Nature Domain, the strength divinity you gain is converted into natural divinity!】
The Nature Domain is vast!
The most crucial aspect is its all-encompassing nature!
With the innate talent of 'Harmony with Nature', Fang Xing can now digest various divine powers and divinities, converting them into natural divinity!
"Very good, with such hunts, gathering 100 points of divinity to challenge the 'Great Divinity' will bring me one step closer to my goal."
Fang Xing's gaze continued downward:
【You have obtained the 'Courage Vocation' and the 'Strength Vocation'!】
In an instant, two vocation crystals appeared before him, their beauty unparalleled, with intricate internal structures.
Just a glance seemed to reveal the manifestation of the laws of strength and courage!
'If combined with the Feng Shen ritual, a Demigod who has ignited their divine fire can immediately digest a vocation and become a True Deity, a Law Master!'
'The laws of this world are indeed mysterious...'
Fang Xing took the vocation crystal representing 'Courage' and placed it beneath his scales, then grabbed the 'Strength' vocation crystal.
Boom!
In a flash, his comprehension of strength reached the level of a 13th Realm Law Master.
These insights were enough to further his Panwu Path.
Soon after, with a dragon's roar, the Eastern Azure Dragon took flight once more, seeking his next target—the God of Death!
Meanwhile, in various places within the Great Zhou, especially in the churches of the God of Strength and Courage, countless priests and temple attendants gazed upon the shattered divine statues, along with the loss of their own divine abilities, and couldn't help but wail in sorrow.
Initially, the connection between the gods and their believers was severed.
But the scenes that unfolded now forced even the most fanatical believers to admit—the deities they worshipped had fallen!
