Chapter 642: The Sovereign Deity
Chapter 642: The Sovereign Deity (Additional Chapter, Seeking Monthly Votes)
The True Deity could sense danger.
For a martial artist or cultivator, such a premonition was merely an instinct.
In an instant, Fang Xing felt a danger so profound it threatened his very existence!
With a thought, layers of dark divine power emerged, forming a divine shield.
Pfft!
A streak of light shot towards him, tearing through his divine shield layer by layer.
Then, Fang Xing's Nature's Avatar was struck like a hammer, flying away and being forcibly dispelled mid-air.
— Dispel Magic! (Divine Power Boost)
"Amazing!"
Fang Xing's mind raced as he landed and looked in the direction of his attacker.
His attacker was a young man, his Celestial Court full and his face tinged with a hint of purple. If a physiognomist were present, they would have deemed this man's features to be of the highest nobility, flawless and without a single blemish!
More terrifyingly, from this young man, Fang Xing sensed an unfathomable divine authority!
"Are you the God of Empire and Sovereignty? You, too, have manifested an avatar in the mortal world?"
Fang Xing was slightly taken aback.
He had not expected that this great Zhou deity would have planted such a pawn in the mortal realm!
"Previously, you colluded with the God of War, but at the critical moment, you abandoned him and let me kill the God of War."
Fang Xing narrowed his eyes slightly. "You have become even stronger than before. Could it be that you have already reached the rank of an ancient deity?"
"Indeed, you are very perceptive."
The God of Empire and Sovereignty stood with his hands behind his back, his voice smooth and commanding, as if he had everything under control. "Your transformation ability is quite impressive, but I have seen through it. In your terms, your total class level is 55, but I have reached level 60!"
Level 60! To achieve such a level in the mortal realm meant that this great Zhou deity had transcended the bounds of a True Deity and reached the rank of an ancient deity!
"I see. You have been hiding this move all along. You must have had a plan. You came so late, clearly to hunt other deities, didn't you?"
Fang Xing mused.
If this great Zhou deity had already broken through to the rank of an ancient deity, he would have done so long ago.
The delay could only mean that he was taking advantage of the Twilight of the Gods to kill other deities and seize their divinity and domains!
Perhaps, he had even killed his own allies within the Zhou pantheon!
Usually, these deities hid in the Celestial Realm, making it difficult for even a sovereign deity to reach them.
But Fang Xing's unexpected move seemed to have been used to his advantage, turning the tables.
"The resentment of the mortal world, I have long known about, and even the establishment of the Netherworld was my doing..."
The God of Empire and Sovereignty's voice was gentle but carried an unyielding authority. "All for the purpose of one day using the collective resentment to diminish the power of the gods... Therefore, I have long laid the groundwork in the mortal realm, but I did not expect you to do such a good job."
"The Twelve Golden Statues of the Great Zhou, were they also part of your scheme?"
Fang Xing's mind raced. No wonder the Golden Statues, which he had long controlled, gave no warning when this sovereign deity approached.
It turned out that the God of Empire and Sovereignty had secretly severed the mystical connection with the Golden Statues!
"You were planning to betray your allies to break through to the rank of an ancient deity... Today, you even watched the God of War die to ascertain my true strength... You are a ruthless deity."
Fang Xing nodded.
"There are too many deities in this world... After today, the earth shall have only one church, devoted to the eternal 'Heavenly Emperor'!"
The God of Empire and Sovereignty said calmly.
He was not afraid that Fang Xing would turn the tide, even though this God of Destruction had often exceeded his expectations. But that was all there was to it.
Only after becoming an ancient deity did one realize the vast gap in strength between a True Deity and an ancient deity!
"You are very confident?"
Fang Xing, however, smiled. "Confident that your strength is enough to subdue everything?"
"There's no need to put on a show. You are just a True Deity..."
The God of Empire and Sovereignty frowned, unable to fathom what Fang Xing had in store.
The difference between a True Deity and an ancient deity was like the gap between a thirteenth-rank Law Master and a fourteenth-rank Dao Lord!
"When I formulated my plan, I prepared for the worst, which was that you were a Dao Lord, unaffected by the Twilight of the Gods..."
"But it turns out, you still needed to hunt other True Deities and secretly ascend to the rank of an ancient deity... You have disappointed me greatly."
Fang Xing sighed softly.
An ancient deity, or a Dao Lord, was not that impressive after all.
After all, a fifth-rank Law Master could escape from a typical Dao Lord, and a sixth-rank Law Master had the strength to defeat or even slay a Dao Lord!
This God of Empire and Sovereignty had just ascended to the rank of an ancient deity, merely a newly minted Dao Lord.
Stuck in the mortal realm, he was still subject to the constraints of the mortal world.
Even with a total class level of 60, he was only slightly stronger than Fang Xing, but not by much.
At the very least, Fang Xing was certain that this great Zhou deity could not defeat him.
Of course, the other party did not think so and foolishly exposed himself.
"Insolent!"
The God of Empire and Sovereignty waved his hand, and a purple longsword appeared in his grasp.
A vast divine authority emerged.
This was the majesty of an ancient deity!
For countless years, He was trapped at the peak of True Deity, unable to break through to the level of an Ancient God.
Gradually falling into decadence, He began to hunt and kill deities from His own pantheon to gain the resources needed for a breakthrough.
To this end, He allowed the Gods to trample the divine covenant, turned a blind eye to the birth of the Underworld, and even secretly buried means in the mortal world.
He never expected that the God of Destruction would step forward first.
But this was perfect.
With the God of Destruction’s assistance, the God of Empire and Sovereignty’s plan proceeded more smoothly.
In recent days, not only Fang Xing, but He Himself had been madly hunting True Deities from His own camp, then breaking through to the level of an Ancient God.
This time, He came with the help of the God of War, fully "seeing through" Fang Xing’s bottom line, and was ready to set things right.
Even to destroy the world in the future and rebuild a new human realm.
A realm that belonged solely to Him!
In an instant, the world transformed!
The surroundings became an ancient temple, with towering marble pillars rising to the sky, radiating an unimaginable majesty that pressed down on Fang Xing.
—Reality Alteration!
Then... He thrust out His sword.
This sword was not only His most powerful artifact but also enhanced by the divine essence of an Ancient God. Even the God of War would absolutely be unable to withstand a single strike!
"Ah..."
Fang Xing looked at the God of Empire and Sovereignty with a pitying gaze: "Actually... I am not the God of Destruction."
"What do you mean?"
Shocked, the God of Empire and Sovereignty saw Fang Xing press his brow, and Heart Power emerged, transforming into the form of the Destruction Wolf.
A vague sense of threat arose, making His heart chill.
But before the God of Empire and Sovereignty could react, a transcendent aura emerged!
This aura was vast and majestic, carrying the wild power of blood!
Even the God of Empire and Sovereignty, an Ancient God equivalent to a 14th Realm Dao Lord, was momentarily stunned upon contact with this aura.
Not just Him, even a 15th Realm Eternal Existence, a Dao Lord of the True Immortal World, would be mentally destabilized upon encountering such a transcendent aura.
This was the result of Fang Xing’s harvest from the Beast Mastery world, a drop of Transcender’s Blood that he had stored in his attribute panel.
At this moment, He suddenly released a bit of the restraint, and the terrifying impact rendered the God of Empire and Sovereignty immobile.
What were Divine Shields or the divine essence of an Ancient God in the face of a Transcender’s aura? They were utterly useless!
In the next instant!
Howl!
The Destruction Wolf howled to the sky, combining with the transcendent aura. Its form solidified and charged into the God of Empire and Sovereignty’s forehead!
This was a True Spirit Attack, a level higher than soul or will attacks!
Not to mention, it was infused with the aura of a Transcender!
This was a killing move that Fang Xing had prepared for himself many years ago.
Even a 14th Realm Dao Lord could not resist it!
While the God of Empire and Sovereignty might be stronger, not just a newly ascended 14th Realm Dao Lord, and had possibly been a 5th or 6th Rank Law Master before breaking through, He was no different from a newly ascended Dao Lord or a 6th Rank Law Master when faced with a True Spirit Attack infused with a Transcender’s aura.
Unable to resist the True Spirit Attack, He was doomed!
The God of Empire and Sovereignty had no time to react; His divine flame instantly extinguished.
Then, His mortal body lost all signs of life, turning into a corpse that fell to the ground.
[Target eliminated, gained 60 points of divinity!]
[You have obtained the ‘Sovereign’, ‘Imperial Rule’, ‘Feudalism’, ‘Sun’, ‘Moon’, and ‘Love’... divine domains!]
A series of notifications appeared on His attribute panel.
"60 points of divinity?"
Fang Xing was overjoyed, feeling as if he had eaten too much.
His body swelled, and cracks appeared on his skin, with golden light seeping out.
It was like a porcelain vase filled with water, about to shatter at any moment.
Swish!
A natural domain opened, and earth, fire, wind, and water appeared one after another.
Then, mountains, rivers, grass, trees, planets, the universe, and even commoners and cultural landscapes...
This was the inclusiveness of Nature!
The natural domain could accommodate everything!
"Convert it for me!"
Fang Xing activated the natural domain, converting all the divinity into ‘natural divinity’, and the abnormality on His body instantly disappeared.
But an indescribable, great aura began to gestate within Him.
That original bit of natural divinity had exceeded 100 points, even undergoing a qualitative change, transforming into a more transcendent and great divinity!
—Great Divinity!
"Transcendent Feature!"
Fang Xing’s eyes flashed with two points of emerald green: "At the 13th Realm Law Master level, to condense a Transcendent Feature that only the top 15th Realm Eternal Existences can form, I might be the first to achieve this, right?"
Although He still had the Timeless Sun King Spell, this Transcendent Feature had not yet fully condensed.
Not to mention, He had not yet integrated the transcendent bloodline to form a bloodline feature.
This ‘Great Divinity’ was His first truly condensed Transcendent Feature!
This alone represented His hope for transcendence!
"Very good... Just by condensing a Transcendent Feature, this time seizing the Transcender’s legacy was not in vain..."
Fang Xing smiled.
Suddenly.
He sensed a change within Himself, seeing that the four divine domain crystals in His divine flame had completely fused!
This was clearly the result of condensing the Great Divinity!
In that moment, Fang Xing’s divine consciousness seemed to penetrate this world, directly imprinting His aura on the World's Origin.
Then, a brand new divine role emerged!
