# Chapter 3064: Main God Battle
One-third of the divine soul and divine body had been shattered, but it could still be recondensed, even if some divine soul and spirit would be lost.
Injury was actually secondary.
The humiliation in his heart was what truly drove Xiu Chen Heavenly God to the brink of madness.
Thinking back to how glorious he once was, able to stand on equal footing with Feng Caiyi and Qing Cang, who had now sealed the heavens, all gods feared and respected him when they saw him. All living beings were but grass, trees, ants, and insects in his eyes.
At that time, figures like Ming Jian Shen, Jia Tian Xia, and the Lord of the Soul Realm were nothing. Xue Jue War God was still a barefoot brat. But now, these juniors were each more arrogant than the last, not taking him seriously at all—not only insulting him with words, but also... also beating him with pure strength.
If he had known he would suffer such humiliation, he might as well have died at the hands of Xumi Saint Monk back then, at least earning a glorious reputation.
Ming Jian Shen was acclaimed as the number one swordsman under the Infinite Realm, Lord of the Sword God Realm, with cultivation and combat power surpassing Feng Yun Ba by a margin, wielding the divine artifact "Ming Jun Sword."
It was not surprising at all that he would appear in the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain at this time.
Ming Jian Shen had a jade-like face and divine bearing, wearing a feathered crown and flowing bright robes, like a banished immortal of the sword path roaming the nine heavens. Seeing Xiu Chen Heavenly God's maddened state, he said, "Don't be unconvinced. Even without using Ming Jun Sword, killing you would not be difficult for me. Your Eon Calamity is approaching, isn't it? Since you're going to die under the Eon Calamity anyway, I won't waste energy killing you."
Bare-faced contempt!
Xiu Chen Heavenly God was so furious his long hair became disheveled, his pupils blood-red, his howl shrill and miserable. He almost offered up the Eternal Heart.
But he held back!
As Ming Jian Shen had said, his next Eon Calamity was approaching. If he lost even the Eternal Heart, there would truly be no hope left.
"Shura Da Yi Realm!"
Xiu Chen Heavenly God soared toward Ming Jian Shen.
From the heartland of the Gods Continent, the Eternal Divine Domain—a territory stretching countless miles—slowly rose into the air. This territory was precisely Shura Heavenly God's Shura Da Yi Realm.
The entire world was densely covered with Time Imprint light spots, drawing all the time rules of heaven and earth toward it.
Zhang Ruochen, Xuan Yuan Qing, and Feng Yan watched the Shura realm flying overhead, their expressions changing sharply as they fled far away.
Even with only a divine soul body remaining, Xiu Chen Heavenly God was by no means weak among Tai Xu realm great gods.
If he added the Shura Da Yi Realm, the Eight-Armed Shura Divine Battle Soul, and his exquisite use of various divine abilities, he could contend even with a peak Tai Xu realm great god.
But if that peak Tai Xu realm great god wielded a divine artifact, then he could only end up on the defensive, being beaten.
Ming Jian Shen smiled coldly. Without using Ming Jun Sword at all, he simply formed a sword finger with his hand, turning the entire Gods Continent into a sword path world, drawing all the sword path rules of heaven and earth toward him.
The Pure Yang Divine Sword in Feng Yan's hand trembled violently, uncontrollable, carrying him and the sword toward Ming Jian Shen.
"He is the Sword Path Main God!"
Feng Yan was utterly shocked, immediately communicating with the sword spirit through his divine thought.
The Pure Yang Divine Sword's sword spirit awakened again, and rings of crimson divine radiance burst from the sword body, allowing Feng Yan to break free from Ming Jian Shen's sword path esoterica and fall to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen chased after Feng Yan, took a deep look at Ming Jian Shen high in the sky, pulled him up, and rapidly fled into the distance.
Xuan Yuan Qing released a circular Radiant Divine Light to protect them, saying, "The combat power of a Tai Xu realm great god is more than ten times ours. These few before us are even peak existences within the Tai Xu realm. The gap is so vast that even I, a Tai Bai realm great god, have to retreat hundreds of thousands of miles to feel somewhat safe."
"No matter how powerful Ming Jian Shen is, wasn't he still beaten half to death by Big Brother back then?" Feng Yan said.
Xuan Yuan Qing said, "You're wrong. The one who defeated Ming Jian Shen wasn't Zhang Ruochen—it was Heavenly Mother, Heavenly Mother's power."
Zhang Ruochen, Xuan Yuan Qing, and Feng Yan dared not look behind them, but they could clearly feel the sword path rules of heaven and earth flowing madly, dense sword qi flying past them, all converging toward Ming Jian Shen.
"Boom!"
Moments later, earth-shattering divine power fluctuations came from behind.
The Shura Da Yi Realm was shattered by a single sword finger from Ming Jian Shen, completely collapsing. Even Xiu Chen Heavenly God's divine soul body was blasted into complete fragments.
Zhang Ruochen and the other two had already fled hundreds of thousands of miles away, yet they were still thrown off balance by the aftershock of that powerful divine power, as if struck in the back by a heavy hammer.
Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but look back, seeing that the world behind them had become completely shattered, with many space rifts appearing.
"Don't look. Once the esoterica one masters reaches the main god level, a transformation occurs. Beating gods of the same realm is no contest at all," Xuan Yuan Qing said.
Zhang Ruochen said, "You don't seem worried about your brother at all? Is he going to give up the Yu Ding?"
A cold, sharp look appeared in Xuan Yuan Qing's starry eyes beneath her veil. "Ming Jian Shen practically snatched the Yu Ding from my brother's hands. Being so presumptuous—do you think my brother won't make a move?"
Zhang Ruochen said, "But he's the number one swordsman under heaven, wielding a divine artifact and being a Sword Path Main God. Is your brother a match for him?"
Xuan Yuan Qing showed a disdainful expression. "There are the Eternal Nine Paths and the Supreme Seventy-Two Paths. The number one swordsman under heaven is just the number one swordsman under heaven."
"Rustle, rustle!"
The sound of flowing water came from nowhere.
Zhang Ruochen looked up, his eyes suddenly narrowing. He saw that the entire sky, even the whole universe, was wrapped in silver-white water currents, pressing down from above.
By now, the three of them had already fled the Gods Continent and were standing in the cosmic starry sky.
"The entire starry sky is raining. Such dense Five Elements Water Path rules," Feng Yan said.
The starry sky rained, rain like ten thousand arrows.
Seeing the look of amazement on Zhang Ruochen's face, Xuan Yuan Qing's expression was quite proud. "Ming Jian Shen is just a single-path main god, but my brother is a main god of both the Water and Wood Paths."
Ming Jian Shen clearly knew Xuan Yuan Lian's power. If it were any other treasure, he would never have seized it, inviting such a powerful enemy upon himself.
But this was the Yu Ding!
Could only the son of the Heavenly Venerable possess it?
From the Void World rose thousands upon thousands of dark red light beams, demonic fiendish qi breaking through the divine realm world formed by Ming Jian Shen's sword path rules.
"This is... this is the legendary Heavenly Venerable divine ability created by the Great Demon God, the Thousand Spirit Blood Fiend!"
Seeing these dark red light beams, even Ming Jian Shen's expression changed slightly. He immediately merged with Ming Jun Sword, charging into the water curtain, intending to escape.
But the water covering the starry sky suppressed his speed.
Fei Ma Wang and the golden chariot flew out of the Gods Continent, charging into the starry sky, intercepting Ming Jian Shen from two different directions.
Three top-tier powerhouses below the Infinite Realm clashed, unleashing various divine abilities, tearing space apart, and altering the rules of heaven and earth, gradually dimming the starry sky region where the Lost Paradise was located.
Stars shattered one after another, turning into dust.
No cultivator dared approach.
The battle fluctuations grew farther and farther away. Zhang Ruochen looked at the broken and chaotic starry sky, filled with fireballs, water clouds, sword qi, demon seas, and large areas of shattered space.
The residual power of three peerless Tai Xu realm great gods lingered, refusing to dissipate.
Looking back at the Gods Continent—this continent formed from the divine realm worlds of countless gods since ancient times, spanning over a hundred million miles—it was now riddled with scars.
Centered on the broken space zone pierced through by divine power, an area of ten million miles was devoid of life, leaving only magma and deserts, along with shocking earth fissures.
For the creatures of the Lost Paradise, this was a catastrophe.
No gods protected them.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was sighing inwardly, he suddenly saw a figure moving stealthily in that broken space zone. He exclaimed in surprise, "Xiu Chen's vitality is too tenacious. I thought he had been ground down by Ming Jian Shen's sword path esoterica! Can you still use the Pure Yang Divine Sword? Give him a strike."
Zhang Ruochen could sense that although Xiu Chen Heavenly God's aura fluctuations had weakened significantly, he was still very powerful, far beyond what Zhang Ruochen could contend with now.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God restrained his aura, carefully hiding, his face as cold as frost, his mood extremely low.
He hadn't immediately left the Gods Continent because, although the Shura Da Yi Realm had been shattered, a large amount of Shura fiendish qi and rule divine patterns were still scattered everywhere. If he absorbed them all, he could recover much of his cultivation.
Those ruthless characters like Fei Ma Wang, Xuan Yuan Lian, and Ming Jian Shen had already left, busy fighting over the Yu Ding. No one would notice him.
"Just wait. Once I refine a divine source, every single one of them will die."
Xiu Chen Heavenly God knew that since being beaten by Xue Jue War God a thousand years ago, he had already lost all face. Then suffering one setback after another, the humiliation in his heart couldn't be contained even by the Yellow Spring Star River, and his hatred was fierce enough to burn down the Heavenly Court Myriad Realms.
Today, Ming Jian Shen had completely destroyed the last shred of his self-respect.
But his will was exceptionally firm. He didn't give up completely, didn't lose heart, didn't lose his drive for advancement. He would still struggle against heaven, still fight with all his might for a future, to wash away today's shame.
Just as Xiu Chen Heavenly God was gritting his teeth, fantasizing about refining a divine source, smashing Ming Jian Shen's head, and taking both Ming Jun Sword and the Yu Ding, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose. He looked up sharply.
In the void, the sword light from the Pure Yang Divine Sword cut across a hundred thousand miles, like a river of flame, illuminating the mountains and rivers of the Gods Continent, a hundred times redder than the morning sun.
A miserable scream from Xiu Chen Heavenly God was heard. The divine soul body he had just condensed was split apart again by the sword strike.
"Chi chi!"
Large amounts of divine soul fragments burned.
However, many divine soul fragments still flew away with the Shura fiendish qi, charging into the Void World, slowly condensing into Xiu Chen Heavenly God's enchanting, peerless face, snow-white jade neck, and slender, tall figure.
His face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with maddening hatred.
Zhang Ruochen saw Feng Yan's arm dripping with blood, his consumption enormous, barely able to stand. "Take care of Feng Yan for me. I'll go deal with Xiu Chen."
Zhang Ruochen lifted the Qing Ping Sword, turning into a divine light as he chased into the Void World.
"You're crazy. Even severely wounded, Xiu Chen is not someone you can handle."
Xuan Yuan Qing stared with both eyes at Zhang Ruochen disappearing into the Void World, hesitating whether to chase after him. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her gaze turned icy cold. "Take care of him for you? What a big face you have."
