Chapter 1935
Deity
At this moment, even the people watching the livestream couldn't help but close their eyes for a moment.
As cheers erupted from the screen, everyone finally opened their eyes to see the overwhelming waves frozen above Sunken Dragon Pass, shattered into countless water droplets by an invisible hand, dispersing into the surrounding air.
On the outer wall of Sunken Dragon Pass, a boy cloaked in crimson rose slowly into the air.
The divine battle between the pale thunder dragon and the Chaos dragon, the clash between Vishnu and Lin Qiye, and the chaotic fight among thirteen Chief Gods—seemingly capable of overturning the sky and sea—continuously sent terrifying waves of divine power crashing toward Sunken Dragon Pass, yet they were all intercepted mid-air by an invisible barrier.
And that boy in the crimson cloak hovered directly above Sunken Dragon Pass, palms pressing against empty air, dispersing with a touch all the residual divine battle forces capable of destroying the pass, as if he were the guardian deity of this fortress.
"It's that Night Watch who controls the heavens!" someone from the exploration team instantly recognized Wu Quan's back and shouted excitedly, "He saved us!"
Just as the words faded, the smiling giant's palm that had been suppressing the sea began to tremble violently. The surrounding waves coiled in frenzy, and a massive shadow rapidly expanded beneath the ocean's surface, as if some colossal creature was about to burst forth!
BOOM—!!
A golden giant figure smashed through the smiling giant's palm, rising slowly from the deep-sea vortex. Six pristine white wings unfurled amid the swirling debris, and with a single flap, swept away the surrounding seawater, forcibly creating a massive hemispherical vacuum in the center of the ocean!
It was a sky-reaching golden avatar, resembling both an angel and a divine warrior of the mortal realm. In one hand, it gripped a massive Straight Blade phantom; in the other, a sacred golden scepter. Six enormous wings danced behind it, and its eyes, surveying the world below, burned like two golden suns!
[Avatar of Heaven and Earth]!!
Years ago, Lin Qiye had combined the [Heaven-Equaling Avatar] with the [Qingyuan Divine Form] to forge an avatar uniquely his own. After years of refinement and improvement, the current [Avatar of Heaven and Earth] was already on an entirely different level.
The instant this avatar manifested, everyone on the distant exploration team and within the livestream gaped in shock...
The visual impact of this golden avatar was simply too staggering. The golden radiance emanating from its form, along with that blade and scepter, even eclipsed the glory of the distant pale thunder dragon and Chaos dragon.
In a sense, the current Lin Qiye was more like a "deity" than any other god present—except for Vishnu!
Lin Qiye's avatar gripped the Straight Blade and slashed toward the smiling Vishnu with a howling cry. The blade's shadow sliced through the air, blocked only by one of the giant's massive palms. The collision's shockwave swept across the sea, even tearing a massive gap in the乌云 clouds above the heavens.
Waves churned, the world quaked—Lin Qiye showed no signs of stopping. The [Royal Scepter] in his avatar's grasp rose high, then slammed with devastating force toward the sea below!
CLANG—!!
Golden ripples swept across the battlefield. The nine Chief Gods battling the distant Shen Qingzhu and the others simultaneously froze, divine power streaming from their bodies like ribbons, drawn inexorably toward the distant golden avatar. Even Leviathan, locked in combat with the pale thunder dragon, suffered the same fate.
The extraction of their divine power instantly turned both battlefields in their favor. The pale thunder dragon coiled around Leviathan's throat, savagely tearing at its rotting flesh, while bolts of sky-splitting lightning functioned like chains, piercing through that massive form and binding it beneath the heavens.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingzhu and the others seized this brief window, striking simultaneously and slaying two more Chief Gods in an instant!
Surging divine power flooded into Lin Qiye's avatar. Even Vishnu was affected, but having endured one extraction of Lesser God power before, he had already prepared countermeasures against the [Royal Scepter]. The instant those golden ripples emerged, his other weeping-faced body rose from the sea, hands forming seals at lightning speed, and pressed them down toward the avatar!
"Wu Xiang Mi Lun."
Twelve layers of dharma seals crystallized in the void around him, resembling an ancient flower in full bloom. The distant Lin Qiye's avatar shuddered violently—the arm gripping the [Royal Scepter] shattered inch by inch, as if crushed by something from beyond, and the ribbons of divine power flooding in from all directions were forcibly severed!
With only one arm remaining, Lin Qiye's avatar毫不犹豫地 raised the other hand clutching the Straight Blade, channeling all the divine power just absorbed into the blade, and swung with all his might toward the smiling Vishnu!
A blade light like a blinding sun instantly drowned everything around it. Scalding white radiance seared a corner of the sky, forcing the cameraman to shut his eyes and move the camera away, lest the light damage the equipment.
More than ten full seconds passed before that incandescent brilliance gradually faded. Lin Qiye's avatar dissolved mid-air, but across from him, the smiling Vishnu's giant form had been cleaved in two—a gory slash ran from neck to crotch, nearly splitting him completely.
The weeping-faced Vishnu's expression turned grim. He instantly merged with the smiling body, reforming into complete Vishnu upon the sea's surface. Even so, half his body was already a mass of bloody pulp.
"Damn it! How can this guy—a mere Chief God—be this powerful??" Vishnu raged in his heart.
Chief Gods who could challenge the Supreme throughout the millennia—there had been quite a few. But the current Lin Qiye was no longer merely "challenging." He could fight evenly with himself, even gain the upper hand!
The gap between Chief God and Supreme was like a chasm, yet Lin Qiye had clawed across that abyss to this point... If he ever truly took that step and ascended to Supreme status, how terrifying would his power become??
Fragments of mist scattered through the air. Through the haze, Lin Qiye walked forward step by step, Straight Blade in hand.
He casually wiped the blood trickling from his mouth. As his crimson cloak billowed, an absolute darkness spread wildly across the sea below.
Those gold-and-black eyes fixed on Vishnu as he slowly spoke:
"Supreme...也不过如此."
"Supreme...也不过如此."
Upon hearing these words, Vishnu's eyes narrowed coldly. "Don't think that wounding me means anything... No matter how strong you are, you're still just a Chief God. A Chief God can NEVER defeat the Supreme!!"
"Is that so?" Lin Qiye said calmly. "Then I'll have to test that theory!"
As that absolute darkness swallowed sky and sea, Lin Qiye and Vishnu's figures vanished simultaneously into the darkness. That battlefield transformed into a dying black hole—profound and impossibly distant.
If the earlier avatar clash had shaken heaven and earth, then within that darkness, only unknown silence remained...
