Divine Throne of Primordial Blood

Book 7, Chapter 98: Battle Against The Gods 2

Even though Su Chen had said that they could aim at any random divine kingdom, the truth was that they still needed to be careful when selecting a potential target.

The divine kingdoms of the more powerful gods did not make for good targets, as their strength and the strength of the lands correlated quite well. As such, Sky City instead chose a relatively small target.

The divine kingdoms of Amelie, the Goddess of Love.

Amelie was a mid-tier goddess, but she put the title of ‘mid-tier god’ to shame. Her combat power was worse than even the low-tier gods.

Even so, that did not prevent her from living a comfortable life. By relying on her innate charms, Amelie had become the mistress of all of the surviving gods. There were throngs of them willing to die for her, just for a chance to indulge in pleasure with her.

Of course, she was still a god. Even if she was weaker than every other god, Amelie was still more than capable of destroying a sizable army all on her own.

She was also participating in this battle and was currently locking horns with a Desolate Beast.

She was badly startled when she saw Sky City start rumbling towards her divine kingdom.

“Stop them! Don’t let them in!” Amelie wasted no time in issuing a divine command.

Within the divine kingdom, Amelie’s soldiers began to assemble into a combat formation.

Amelie preferred brawny men, which was why most of her soldiers were extremely muscular and tall. They all wore red capes and wielded short spears and shields in their hands, somewhat reminiscent of the ancient Spartans. Behind each of them, however, there was a floating circle of light, which indicated that they had died a long time ago. They were merely being kept around for the sake of defending the divine kingdom.

These holy soldiers were incredibly strong even in death. With the support of divine power, even the weakest one of them was as powerful as a Light Shaking Realm cultivator. They were undoubtedly a strong group of soldiers.

However, they had never quite seen anything like Sky City before, and they had no idea how to deal with it.

More importantly, they had very little actual combat experience.

Thousands of years of peace meant that large-scale conflicts amongst the inhabitants of Kun’s territory were extremely rare. Typically, only small skirmishes would take place — far from enough to produce an elite group of soldiers.

All they possessed was faith.

But if that faith was nullified, then their fate was sealed.

The soldiers seemed intent on meeting brute force with brute force when they saw Sky City hurtling towards them.

Even if they were undying holy soldiers, trying to use their physical bodies to withstand an entire city’s momentum was idiotic at best.

Boom!

Sky City viciously slammed into Amelie’s divine kingdom. The fearsome collision between these two terrifyingly large landmasses sent a shockwave of energy rippling out in all directions, as both sides rocked violently.

The holy soldiers attempting to stop Sky City were crushed before they even had a chance to cry out in pain.

Of course, as long as they were still present in the divine kingdom, they would be quickly resurrected.

But no matter how quickly they resurrected, they couldn’t possibly outpace the rate at which they were dying.

More importantly, each resurrection cost faith to support. Soon enough, the divine kingdom would run out of faith, and resurrection would become impossible.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The Sun-Shattering Cannons fired mercilessly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Annihilation Bolts rained down from the sky.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

The Brilliant Light Mirror flashed repeatedly.

The Sun-Shooting Pearls mounted atop the ninety-nine rebuilt Arcana Towers glowed brightly as a torrent of Origin Skills surged forth from them as well.

Origin Energy was inferior in quality to divine power, but there was far more of it in terms of quantity — just like the difference between divine power and immortal energy.

And this world was still a world made of Origin Energy.

This Origin Energy was converted into bolts of destructive lightning and swathes of raging fire, which all came together to paint a terrifying scene.

The wind blew violently, flames leapt to life, thunder and lightning descended from the sky, and flood waters surged.

Amelie’s divine kingdom was the most beautiful out of all the divine kingdoms.

There was a majestic, glorious temple erected on its surface. At the center of that temple was a lively, delicate sculpture. Flower gardens surrounded it, accented by rivers of flowing milk. Sweet fruit dotted the landscape as delicate, hand-knit strands of embroidered silk interweaved to form aesthetically pleasing patterns.

Even so, all of this turned into black ash as soon as Sky City crashed into it.

The beautiful architecture that had been painstakingly designed and produced was instantly destroyed. What had been paradise on earth in the hearts of its inhabitants was now suffused in the red glow of hellfire.

The holy soldiers roared as they charged forward once again.

They were powerful, brave, fierce, and fearless.

And then they died.

Sky City, which had been reinforced and upgraded quite a few times, was now strong enough to withstand even the attacks of an Origin Beast.

This essentially allowed them to do as they pleased within the divine kingdom.

Destruction was inevitable.

“NO!” Amelie cried out in despair.

If her divine kingdom was destroyed, then she would also fall.

Gods were powerful, but their weaknesses were all too obvious.

Their worshippers.

Without any worshippers, they would not last, as they were simply too old.

Amelie turned her attention away from the Desolate Beast in front of her, shoving it aside as she desperately rushed towards her divine kingdom.

“We’ve finally caught her attention.” Excitement flickered across Su Chen’s eyes.

“Adjust the cannons......” Lin Shaoxuan almost commanded.

“No. Continue to attack the divine kingdom. Doing so is the same as attacking Amelie directly,” Su Chen said.

“But Amelie is coming.”

“I will handle her,” Su Chen calmly replied as he flew into the air.

The others were stunned when they heard his command.

You will handle her?

Even if Amelie was the weakest surviving god, she was still a deity!

Even if Su Chen was now strong enough to take on a Desolate Beast by himself, the gap between a Desolate Beast and a god was still massive!

Su Chen could tell what everyone was thinking and calmly said, “Don’t worry. There’s no reason to fear a god who is as weak as a Desolate Beast.”

As he spoke, he flew towards Amelie.

“How dare you besmirch the glory of the gods, you heathen!” Amelie roared madly.

Her beautiful expression had become contorted with rage, and her entire body was filled with divine power.

She shoved her hands in Su Chen’s direction, sending a violent wave of divine flames rolling in his direction.

These flames had been conjured with divine power, which meant that they consumed objects not only on the physical plane, but also on the consciousness plane.

Su Chen, however, smiled faintly as the Seven Desolate Bloodline Microcosm appeared behind his back in response. Like the divine kingdom, this microcosm seemed to be a world of its own.

By now, however, his Aspect could no longer be accurately called the Seven Desolate Bloodline Microcosm. Because of the human race’s alliance with the Beasts, it now included all of their power as well. Su Chen had shamelessly sought out a sample of blood from each of them. By now, he had collected and merged the blood from all of the surviving Origin Beasts and Desolate Beasts into his Aspect. This Aspect had also been inscribed on the Boundless Sect’s walls, becoming one of their sect treasures.

As for Su Chen himself, he refused to let even a single vial slip through his hands.

Now, it would be more apt to term the Seven Desolate Bloodline Aspect the Universe of Beasts.

Of the many bloodlines incorporated into this aspect, however, the seven familiar Desolate Beasts were still the most prominently featured.

ROAR! historical

Seven massive Desolate Beasts stepped out from the Microcosm: Dragon Centipede, Windbite, Dream Beauty, Cloudpeck, Golden Bird, Luo You, and White Fang.

These seven Desolate Beasts seemed extremely lifelike, and they even possessed a fraction of the power of a real Desolate Beast.

The seven Desolate Beasts tilted their heads back and simultaneously roared. Their collective aura was in no way weaker than Amelie’s.

Finally, the Shining Dragon appeared as well. Its giant body majestically emerged from the Aspect, as massive as a mountain range.

The Shining Dragon danced over the Universe of Beasts. At the top of its head, a small Bloodbat perched there.

This Bloodbat was extremely small and could not bring forth even a fraction of the Blood Ancestor’s full power. But since the Blood Ancestor’s main body was present nearby, it gained a certain amount of autonomy.

The Bloodbat Aspect’s eyes began to glow with light as the Shining Dragon howled and bounded forth, followed closely by the seven Desolate Beasts. A horde of Beasts with indistinct forms were right behind them. Suddenly, the space surrounding Amelie and Su Chen was filled with a primal, unrestrained aura.

“How is this possible?” Amelie was dumbfounded when she saw this scene.

How could he cause such a disturbance? Was this human capable of exploding forth with a sudden burst of power?

Even the other gods watching from afar were badly startled by this sight.

“Careful, Amelie!” cried out the God of Six Desires, Amelie’s first lover. He wanted to try to assist her, but the seven Desolate Beasts surrounding him demanded his full attention. He could only watch on helplessly as Su Chen’s horde of Beast Aspects leapt onto Amelie, trampling her underfoot.

Amelie felt as if she was being stomped to death, filling her heart with grief and indignation.

She was a goddess!

Even though she was not as powerful as an Origin Beast, her vitality was still quite strong.

She wouldn’t die from this attack, but the humiliation that she felt made her wish that it had killed her instead.

She had been struck by a human.

By a bunch of Beasts that he had summoned.

And worst of all, she couldn’t even retaliate!

How humiliating!

“AHH!!!!” Amelie howled. Her long, beautiful hair billowed wildly in all directions as streaks of lightning crackled across her body.

“Oh, are you finally taking our fight a little more seriously? That’s more like it.” Su Chen arrogantly motioned with his hand. “Come.”

“You dare attack a god? I will annihilate you!” Amelie howled with renewed rage as a thick bolt of lightning descended upon him.

This lightning had been molded into the shape of an incredibly sharp sword and was then thrown in Su Chen’s direction with incredible force.

Even Su Chen’s expression became serious when he saw this attack. “Oh, this is a powerful one.”

Then, he responded with an attack himself.

God-Executing Jab!

A faint white energy surged forth to meet the blade of lightning. The terrifyingly powerful and destructive sword seemed to melt away like snow in hot water as soon as it came into contact with the white energy.

“That’s......!” Amelie gasped, her eyes wide.

“Forbidden power is what I think you call it,” Su Chen said with a faint smile.

“Forbidden!”

“Forbidden!”

“Forbidden!”

Su Chen’s words threw all the other gods into an uproar as well. All of them could sense the terrifying power that had just surged forth from Su Chen’s finger.

“Yes, that’s right,” Su Chen said in a low voice. “This forbidden power will be your demise. Go forth!”

He struck out once more.

Suddenly, each Beast within the horde began to glow with faint white light as well.

Su Chen was suffusing his Aspect with immortal energy, causing them to qualitatively change.

The coiled Shining Dragon spat out a streak of fire right after it was infused with immortal energy.

Undying Flames!

The true fire of an Origin Beast had somehow been replicated by an Aspect.

In that moment, it felt as if the Shining Dragon had come back to life once more.

“ROAR!” Countless Beast Aspects howled in response to the Shining Dragon’s show of force.

The horde of Beasts whirled around to trample over Amelie once more.

Her divine kingdom was shaking violently, and her body was being ruthlessly torn apart.

Amelie howled with despair, but there was nothing that she could do to stop what was happening to her.

Soon after, Amelie fell.
