# Chapter 3315: Fight to the Death to Protect
All were top-tier experts below the Infinite Realm.
The divine battle was about to erupt at any moment.
The fluctuations of divine power were not as terrifying as those that had previously stirred the Heaven-Connecting Divine Temple and the realm-protecting divine formation. Those were the legacies left by the All Heavens, or even the Primordial Ancestors, as measures prepared for later generations.
However, the clash between these six individuals at this moment was still enough to represent the highest level of confrontation in the current world.
Princess Shenba had possessed formidable cultivation a hundred thousand years ago. The Second Confucian Ancestor and Wen Tianjun could both be considered her nominal teachers. Her cultivation was close to the Grand Void Realm, and her spiritual power was close to the eightieth rank.
However, spiritual power cultivation had always been her secret, rarely revealed, overshadowed by the brilliance of her martial arts achievements.
During the years she was imprisoned in the Heaven-Connecting Divine Temple, both her physical body and divine soul were sealed. In fact, her spiritual power was also sealed. But she had concealed her spiritual power intensity in advance, so the seal was not too strong. Later, with the help of a close person, she quietly broke through.
A hundred thousand years of hardship had tempered her spiritual will.
In just a hundred thousand years, her spiritual power intensity had reached the peak of the eighty-fourth rank, achieving a miraculous feat.
Even Wu Yue did not have such a speed of improvement.
A clash at the level of heart-stopping intensity could destroy a starry sky domain in an instant. But Lihentian was very strange. No matter what divine abilities they used, their power was far inferior to that in the real world.
Here, the rules of heaven and earth, time and space, divine qi, saint qi... all kinds of forces were very different.
"It's somewhat difficult to use the Profound Meaning. Lihentian is indeed as the legends say."
Meila controlled four percent of the Fire Dao Profound Meaning, but with so much Profound Meaning, she still found it hard to mobilize the fire dao rules of heaven and earth.
She could only use the rule divine patterns and divine qi cultivated within her own body.
Zhuque Huowu, who was fighting Meila, also controlled a large amount of Fire Dao Profound Meaning and was trapped in the same predicament.
"Good. This way, the advantages of our physical strength and divine abilities can be brought into play!"
The one-eyed giant's arms were forged like divine iron, as thick as a mountain peak. With one palm, he sent Chi Xingtian flying back.
"This guy's physical strength is close to fifty percent of the Infinite Realm."
In the current world, aside from the three Eon-level geniuses—Xuan Yi, Huang Tian, and Qiangu Nüdi—who had cultivated a perfected second-rank divine path, the number of great gods who could cultivate their physical bodies to fifty percent of the Infinite Realm did not exceed three.
How could Chi Xingtian not be shocked?
If it were Chi Xingtian at his peak, he naturally would not fear. But recently, he had been severely weakened, and previously, heavenly fire had destroyed half of his divine body, causing a massive loss of blood qi.
Now, he could only grit his teeth and press on, fighting to the death to buy time for Zhang Ruochen to condense the Great Yin.
"Doomsday Heavenly Wheel!"
Krysa used rule divine patterns and surging divine qi to evolve a divine ability, condensing a pitch-black wheel seal tens of thousands of zhang in diameter. Like the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, it seemed as if eternal night had descended.
Lihentian was illuminated into darkness, with no light visible.
The Moon God stood atop the Heaven-Connecting Divine Temple, not making a move.
She had to stay and guard, ensuring that Zhang Ruochen was not disturbed by external forces while condensing the Great Yin.
The Moon God muttered to herself, "Doomsday Heavenly Wheel, a perfected Infinite divine ability, and a very powerful one at that. During the years they were missing, they were still continuously improving themselves!"
In a situation where it was difficult to use Profound Meaning, divine abilities and physical bodies became especially important, capable of overwhelming opponents.
A perfected Infinite divine ability required hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions, of years of cultivation to complete. It was a manifestation of a great god's foundation.
Take Zhang Ruochen, for example. Although his cultivation had improved quickly, his foundation was insufficient. His biggest weakness was divine abilities. To this day, he had not cultivated any means comparable to a perfected Infinite divine ability, relying only on divine artifacts and divine paths to compensate.
This was the disadvantage of a short cultivation time!
Princess Shenba had the same disadvantage.
Her spiritual power had improved quickly, but she had not cultivated corresponding peerless divine techniques. In the very first clash, she was crushed by Krysa.
The Doomsday Heavenly Wheel not only shattered her divine technique but also crushed her spiritual power field.
A perfected Infinite divine ability was unstoppable!
Princess Shenba retreated while using her own divine blood as ink to draw patterns.
She kept retreating until she reached the edge of the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram before stopping.
She knew she could not retreat any further.
To retreat further would be an act of disloyalty to Zhang Ruochen.
Being counterattacked by heaven and earth was no joke. The most serious consequence was the annihilation of both divine form and spirit.
Even if she had to suffer severe injuries, she had to block it.
The patterns drawn by Princess Shenba were shattered one after another by the Doomsday Heavenly Wheel. It was not that she was not strong enough, but that her opponent was too terrifying, far beyond reason, almost reaching the limit below the Infinite Realm.
Just as Princess Shenba's physical body was about to be crushed by the Doomsday Heavenly Wheel...
"Hua!"
The Jade Emperor Cauldron flew out, carrying the boundless power of a divine artifact, and collided heavily with the Doomsday Heavenly Wheel.
The two stalemated for a moment, and then the Doomsday Heavenly Wheel was shattered.
Princess Shenba raised a spiritual power barrier, blocking the two surges of powerful divine force, preventing the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram from being affected.
Standing atop the divine temple, the Moon God took a few steps back and made a judgment in her heart: "Krysa's cultivation strength has far surpassed his past self. He has a chance to enter the top ten below the Infinite Realm! The one-eyed giant and Meila seem to have similar strength."
It must be known that in the current world, there were super freaks in the first tier like Xuan Yi, Huang Tian, and Qiangu Nüdi. There were also experts like Jue Miao Chan Nu, Mi Tian War God, Xuanyuan Lian, Wu Yue, Chi Xingtian, Ni Xuan Bei Shi... who could have reached the top in other eras.
The top ten below the Infinite Realm was no small achievement.
The Moon God became even more certain that Paradise Realm had mastered some special power. Spending decades, they had broken the rules of heaven and earth, elevating the three already extremely powerful individuals to an excessively exaggerated level.
In this way, all three had a great chance to break through to the Infinite Realm and become divine venerables in the near future. Moreover, once they became divine venerables, they would not be the kind that was at the bottom.
With three more powerful divine venerables, Paradise Realm's strength would instantly surge, completely widening the gap with other dominant worlds.
Of course, if they fought in the real world, the Moon God did not think Krysa, the one-eyed giant, and Meila could enter the top ten.
Because in real-world combat, Profound Meaning was very important, affecting the balance of power.
Although they had been missing for hundreds of thousands of years, their physical bodies, cultivation, and divine abilities had accumulated to the extreme. But they had also missed the war between the Heavenly Court and Hell realms.
The ancient gods who had survived the constant clashes over three hundred thousand years had seized a large amount of Profound Meaning, with many becoming the main gods of a path.
The speed of improvement through war, slaughter, and plunder was often faster than secluded cultivation, and the gains were greater.
"The legendary Jade Emperor Cauldron?"
Krysa quickly calmed down and said, "Do you think that possessing a divine artifact can make up for the gap? Even if the two of you attack together, you will not be my match."
He had great confidence in his cultivation.
Especially in Lihentian, Krysa believed he could be invincible under heaven.
"Shua!"
A dark light flew out from the Heaven-Connecting Divine Temple and fell into Princess Shenba's hand, condensing into a divine staff.
Zhang Ruochen's voice came from the temple: "I lend you the Black Water Divine Staff!"
With a spiritual power divine artifact in hand, Princess Shenba's aura instantly changed. It was like a sword embryo that had been sharpened, revealing a chilling edge and a murderous intent.
With a divine artifact to assist, it was enough to make up for the gap in foundation and divine abilities.
"I lend you the Six Divine Swords!"
Six swords flew out from the temple, all burning fiercely, carrying the might of divine swords, and fell into the hands of Chi Xingtian and Zhuque Huowu.
Zhuque Huowu only took one of them, the sixth divine sword, which looked like a stick, very similar to her own war weapon, the God-Slaying Spear. But the God-Slaying Spear was a sub-divine-level supreme sacred artifact!
"What a pity. The damage is too severe; it cannot unleash the power a divine sword should have."
Sighing, Zhuque Huowu raised her voice and asked, "Sell this sword to me. Name your price."
She wanted to use this sword as a foundation, adding the rare divine materials she had collected over the years, to reforge it into a spear.
She believed that in the future, she would surely be able to nurture it into a true divine artifact, passing it down through the ages, and her name would be immortalized along with it.
Unfortunately, there was no response from the temple.
"What a pity. If I had the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscription in hand, why would I need a sword?"
Chi Xingtian controlled five swords and attacked the one-eyed giant.
He was filled with resentment, hating that he was not at his peak. Otherwise, why would he be so passive? Taking on three opponents at once was his style.
The three divine beings from Paradise Realm on the opposite side were all envious. Eight divine artifacts had suddenly appeared. Even if the six swords were damaged, their power was still extraordinary.
Paradise Realm naturally had many divine artifacts passed down by its ancestors, but there were even more Infinite Realm experts. Even the Infinite Realm experts did not have enough to go around and had to seize them on the battlefield. How could it be their turn?
Even in an era when the sword dao was in decline, the Radiant Divine Sword was controlled by the daughter of the Heavenly Venerable. Just this identity alone was enough to make them submit.
"I am about to enter the Infinite Realm and happen to be lacking a divine artifact! Very good. Thank you for your gift."
Meila was not afraid of divine artifacts.
In the face of an absolute gap in strength, she believed that a damaged divine artifact could not change anything.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, she was the leader below the Infinite Realm in Paradise Realm, at least a notch stronger than Zhuque Huowu was now. If she could not even deal with a junior now, would she not be letting down the decades of cultivation in the Ancestor Realm?
"They are just three sick and crippled people, nothing to fear. Leave them all to me. You two immediately go to the Heaven-Connecting Divine Temple. In the temple, I sense a dangerous aura." Krysa said.
He truly believed this, thinking that Chi Xingtian, Zhuque Huowu, and Princess Shenba were not worth fearing—one weakened, one crippled.
But Wu Yue and Xiu Chen Heavenly God made him feel danger, regarding them as great enemies.
Even more dangerous was the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram before him, which seemed to be brewing a great change, making Krysa very uneasy.
Meila broke free from Zhuque Huowu and flew toward the Heaven-Connecting Divine Temple.
Chi Xingtian and Princess Shenba had completely entered a life-or-death state, directly burning their lifespans, firmly locking onto Krysa and the one-eyed giant.
Zhuque Huowu knew that if something happened to Zhang Ruochen and the others, she would likely be surrounded and killed as well, so she could only grit her teeth and chase after Meila.
She really did not want to fight Meila.
She felt that, without using Profound Meaning, Meila was even stronger than Hun Qi.
"Boom!"
The divine battle became even more intense. The Moon God and Zhuque Huowu joined forces to block Meila.
