Infinite Professions

The remaining five deities, though not evil demonic beings and not restrained, still found it difficult to resist the ultimate power of the Grand Dao. Especially the honored gods of the Three Religions, who were merely of Third-Rank, their foundations were not deep. Moreover, they were gravely weakened by the Supreme Destiny Divine Light, leaving them without enough strength to withstand this technique.

If Shen Hex had not focused his main power on the two Lords of Jinling and Weishui, they too would have been turned to ashes like the Lanruo Old Demon.

Even so, the previously wounded Venerable Jinglian could not be spared, and the Daoist and Confucian Venerables were severely injured, standing at the threshold of life and death.

In comparison, the Jinling and Weishui Two Lords were slightly better off, but only slightly.

With their bodies heavily injured, their miserable condition frightened the Daoist Soldiers outside.

What has happened?

Several Third-Rank Great Gods combined forces to besiege a Fourth-Grade God, yet they ended up with such a result.

Could it be that the Jinyang Prefect had some supreme means, and at the last moment, burned jade and stone together, dragging several Divine Monarchs into the water?

Yes, it must be!

This is the only possibility; there is no other explanation.

What an impressive Jinyang Prefect, managing such a battle result with a Fourth-Grade body. Though he burned jade and stone together, exchanging life for injury, it is still enough to boast...

"Boom!"

Heaven and earth shook, the Immortal Demon Technique’s remaining force had not dissipated. Amidst the rolling dusty waves, a figure gradually appeared, resembling a god or demon king, imposing over heaven and earth, commanding the ten directions.

"Song — Xiang!?"

"Puh!!!!!!"

Seeing this figure, the audience was shocked into silence, and the surviving four deities, along with the Jinling and Weishui Two Lords, cried out hoarsely. The Daoist and Confucian Venerables were even touched by their injuries, spitting divine blood, teetering on the brink.

"Go!!!"

After a startled exclamation, the Jinling and Weishui Two Lords reacted swiftly, intending to retreat.

"Trying to leave!?"

Yet from amidst the dust and sand, the Demon God raised his hand again, drawing upon the remaining Destruction Divine Thunder to unleash a desperate strike.

"Heaven-Overturning Seal!"

"Sea-Suppressing Pearl!"

The Jinling Prefect gritted his teeth, using his last divine power to cast the Heaven-Overturning Divine Seal, though it was weak in form. The divine seal’s true body, the City God’s Treasure, had been reduced to ash in the previous battle.

The Weishui River Dragon Monarch fared slightly better; since his Sea-Suppressing Pearl had not previously been damaged, he could still retain it. Though it too was heavily damaged, covered in cracks, seemingly about to shatter, it ultimately managed a vigorous strike.

The two Lords joined forces, each making a move to block their adversary, then could only watch the outcome, and with their remaining divine power, transformed into divine light and hastily fled.

Witnessing this, the Daoist and Confucian Venerables also wished to act, but alas, their injuries were too severe, and their divine power depleted. Before their heavily wounded bodies could rise, the Destruction Divine Thunder had already crashed down.

"Boom!!!"

Another loud explosion, the rolling dust and raging waves, the Divine Seal and Dragon Pearl all shattered, and the remaining thunder blasted forth, mercilessly consuming and breaking all fate in the horrified eyes of the Daoist and Confucian Venerables.

A Third-Rank God once again destroyed two Venerables!

"..."

"..."

"..."

In an instant, silence engulfed all directions, except at the center, where heaven and earth trembled, dusty waves accentuating the apocalyptic shadow of the Demon God.

"Quick!!!"

"Go!!!"

In that split second, before regaining clarity, the Jinling and Weishui, with their Subordinate Divine Daoist Soldiers, fled in panic.

"Prefect!"

The Golden Sun Deities initially wanted to intercept, but seeing their own state, they could only turn their gaze towards the Venerable Leader.

But what they saw was...

"Bang!!!"

A thunderbolt erupted forth, yet it was not an attack but an irrepressible wound.

"Ah!!!"

Shen Hex’s body trembled, lowering his right hand, his left pressing desperately on his chest, but still, gold-colored divine blood gushed out.

"Prefect!"

"Father!!!"

The crowd of deities cried out in shock, echoing through the Ghostly Realm, bringing the curtain down on the battle.
