Chapter 261 Within the Temple

Within the temple.

Brahma sat upon his throne.

Beside him, a Deva Venerable came to report, "The battle has begun."

"What about the Nine-Headed Lion Clan?" Brahma inquired.

"They are awaiting orders... They were originally stationed at the Second Sacred Pass. Why did the True God suddenly withdraw them before the arrival of the human race?" the Deva Venerable asked.

Brahma smiled. "The Heavenly Dao Alliance has been making restless movements recently. With the arrival of the human race, they will surely take action. Lord Brahma despises the human race, but this time, the Goddess of Wisdom intentionally mentioned before the Celestial Emperor that the human race was about to be completely annihilated. After consulting the Heavenly Book, the Celestial Emperor reprimanded the Lord God. Now, to kill the human race, we must find evidence that the human race is detrimental to the Divine Palace. Even on the surface, we cannot have too stiff of a relationship with the human race, do you understand?"

"Then, what does this have to do with the Second Sacred Pass?"

The Deva Venerable asked again.

"I anticipate that the Heavenly Dao Alliance will certainly make use of the human race. If this is the case, the loss of the Second Sacred Pass can be used to investigate the crimes of the human race. Even if the Goddess of Wisdom makes a fuss before the Celestial God again, we will be acting according to the law, and she cannot do anything about it!"

Brahma paused deliberately before continuing, "Actually, I have no quarrel with the human race, but who told the Lord God to want to destroy them? If the human race is smart enough this time and does not collude with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, then I am willing to give them a chance..."

"True God, signs of battle have appeared at the Second Sacred Pass... It seems that the human race has dispatched troops to guard the Second Sacred Pass!"

At this moment, a deity wearing a mask came to report.

"Oh?"

A look of surprise appeared on Brahma's face. His four large eyes rolled around a few times, and then he smiled. "It seems that the Nine-Headed Lion Clan can continue to stand by... Go, continue to monitor the battle ahead, and report back if there are any developments!"

Upon hearing this, the Deva Venerable Anava was shocked.

Good heavens!

So all of this was a calculation!

Brahma had long anticipated that the Heavenly Dao Alliance would use the human race, so he simply used their plan against them and withdrew the Nine-Headed Lion Clan from the Second Sacred Pass before the human race arrived at the God-Demon Battlefield.

This was deliberately setting a trap to lure the Heavenly Dao Alliance into it.

At the same time, it also enticed the Thunderhide Beast Clan to attack.

And he also schemed against the human race...

However, it seemed that the human race had not fallen for it.

"This Human Emperor is quite clever... How did he discover so many conspiracies and plans?" Anava stroked his balding head, put himself in Lin Chen's shoes, and still found it unbelievable...

This Human Emperor actually thought of sending troops to guard the Second Sacred Pass.

He actually realized that the Heavenly Dao Alliance was deliberately luring the human race into a full-scale attack.

"It seems that none of them are simple existences!"

Anava shook his head.

Then, he left the temple and continued to observe the battle.

But he found that he could no longer see Lingfeng City...

"That's not right, isn't Lingfeng City in this direction?"

Anava was very puzzled.

In reality, this was because Lingfeng City was now completely enveloped in Lin Chen's Holy Light.

Lin Chen was surrounded by sword energy.

"Lin Chen, you... you can actually touch the forbidden, and even isolate external perception?"

Lei Hong panicked.

He had not expected that Lin Chen, a Third-Rank Peak Mortal Spirit, could suddenly become so powerful.

And so strong!

"Heh, are you just realizing that now? Do you regret scheming against my human race?"

Lin Chen was now very angry.

Did the Heavenly Dao Alliance really not know the human race's situation?

This time, entering the God-Demon Battlefield was only possible through battlefield trials and punishments.

Even upon arrival, they were ordered to exterminate the demonic path races within a month.

Otherwise...

The Divine Palace would take action and exterminate the human race.

The Celestial Spirits and Elves would also be implicated!

The Human Alliance had no way out.

There was only a dead end!

But under these circumstances, the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Lei Hong, still wanted to scheme against the human race.

How could Lin Chen not be angry?

*Boom!*

Surrounded by sword energy, he unleashed a move...

A Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!

The sword light pierced through the void and slashed fiercely towards Lei Hong.

"Violet Firmament Divine Lightning!"

Lei Hong shouted loudly, summoning heavenly lightning to strike towards the sword light.

*Bang!*

The entire void exploded.

The city was also exploding.

However, Lin Chen held the banner of the human race in one hand.

As long as the main city's banner did not fall!

The sword attack was blocked by the heavenly lightning, but still exploded right in front of Lei Hong's face.

In the next moment, Lin Chen's Soul Sea covered the entire field, with three thousand ghost soldiers lying in ambush. Lin Chen's figure was constantly growing, instantly reaching a thousand meters in height.

"My own world... Lin Chen, you are indeed no longer a Mortal Spirit! But sadly, you encountered me, Lei Hong!"

Lei Hong shouted loudly, his figure towering thousands of feet.

*Bang!*

Two giants clashed in the sky above the city, exchanging fist blows with flesh and blood.

Moreover, while exchanging punches, they continued to rise higher.

"Haha, Lin Chen, your fists are too weak. Seeing that you only cultivated the Soul Sea and did not cultivate Divine Power, you are not my opponent! Stop it, I didn't expect you to be so strong before. It seems your human race isn't entirely useless... I can change my strategy and sincerely cooperate with your human race!" Lei Hong said smugly.

In his opinion, Lin Chen was indeed strong.

But not as strong as him.

Therefore, he had the qualifications.

And Lin Chen...

Although Lin Chen's strength was not weak, he was not a big name in the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

So although Lei Hong said he wanted to cooperate, his words still carried a trace of looking down on Lin Chen.

And looking down on the human race...

I thought you were just ants, bugs, vermin.

Unexpectedly, you are still a dog!

Then I, Lei Hong, will accept this dog!

How could Lin Chen submit?

His fists were weak because... his Holy Power was not on him!

In order to ensure the annihilation of the Violet Flame Rat Clan, Lin Chen had to make trade-offs.

But...

Lin Chen could also take back the Holy Power he had given out!

*Boom!*

In the next moment, countless Holy Power disappeared from the bodies of the human, elven, and celestial spirit soldiers.

All of it returned to Lin Chen's body.

He only did not retrieve the Holy Power on the Second Sacred Pass side.

And then...

Lin Chen punched Lei Hong directly in the jaw!

"Pfft..."

Lei Hong spat out blood, then said in shock, "Impossible, how could your power be... I see, you injected Divine Power into the bodies of the human race... Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with those gods in the Divine Palace who seize the power of faith!"

"I, Lin Chen, don't need you to comment on who I am! Moreover, you will never understand the path I walk, with your narrow-mindedness!"

Lin Chen retorted to Lei Hong, and then threw another punch.

*Bang!*

This time, Lei Hong could no longer defend. His fist collided with Lin Chen's fist, causing the void to tremble.

"Town Sea Cauldron!"

Lin Chen seized the opportunity, taking advantage of Lei Hong's injury, and directly covered Lei Hong with the Town Sea Cauldron.

"The Town Sea Cauldron, such a treasure, is actually in your hands. Didn't they say this treasure was taken by Odin... Oh right, in the eyes of the Lord God, the Town Sea Cauldron is nothing, so it seems it was abandoned. Lin Chen, you actually want to use the Town Sea Cauldron to suppress a Celestial God powerhouse, I think you're dreaming, right?"

Lei Hong waved his hand dismissively, and then knocked the Town Sea Cauldron away.

Confirmed, a Celestial God powerhouse!

Lei Hong was at this level.

"You are only at the early stage of the Celestial God Realm, right? Otherwise, how could you be so weak?"

Lin Chen sneered, "I didn't use Divine Power before, but your fists didn't do any damage to me either!"

Actually, it was Holy Power.

But Lin Chen deliberately said Divine Power.

As for Lei Hong's fists not causing damage to Lin Chen, that was naturally also false.

Don't forget, Lin Chen also had a Water Spirit Bead clone.

In reality, the Water Spirit Bead clone's sixty million health points had all been depleted.

Lin Chen himself had lost 30% of his health, which was about the same amount of health Lei Hong had lost.

"Heh, the Water Spirit Bead treasure, do you think I don't know about it? Lin Chen, if it weren't for this treasure, you would have been beaten to death by me already!"

Lei Hong was not intimidated by Lin Chen's words at all. On the contrary, Lin Chen saying that made him even more confident. He became bigger again, even taller, reaching a height of ten thousand feet, his head already touching Lin Chen's Soul Sea.

Lei Hong laughed loudly, "Lin Chen, haven't you realized that I haven't used my Soul Sea yet? I haven't even used my own world, but you still can't beat me. Don't you understand the gap between us? Although you are strong, but... you haven't reached the strength of a Celestial God!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Chen grinned, "You're really tall!"

"A body of ten thousand feet, Lin Chen, if you can also reach this height, you can fight me. But the current you..."

Lei Hong continued to be smug.

But his voice stopped abruptly.

Because he saw that Lin Chen's body was also constantly growing and increasing in height.

"Lin Chen, it seems that I can't suppress you without using my own world!"

Lei Hong's voice turned cold.

At this time, Lin Chen's body also stopped growing.

Even his soul left his body.

In the next moment, Lei Hong shouted loudly, "My world, come out!"

*Boom!*

He opened his Soul Sea.

But as a result, it leaked like a flood!

"What's going on?"

Lei Hong was shocked.

A large area of his Soul Sea had actually died.

Therefore, when the Soul Sea was opened, this soul power poured out like a flood... Because his Soul Sea had already been cut open by a sword!

But at the time, there was only an explosion.

Lei Hong did not know that Lin Chen's sword actually had such a terrifying targeted effect on the Soul Sea...

What he didn't expect was that at this time, Lin Chen's soul, like a death god, holding a scythe, rushed in from the opening in his torn Soul Sea.

At the same time, all three thousand ghost soldiers appeared above Lin Chen's Soul Sea.

"Death God's Blade!"

"Ten Ghosts Combined Slash!"

Slash, slash, slash!

It wasn't just Lin Chen alone.

Three hundred Ghost Emperors, all gathering the death spirit power of ten Ghost Kings, plus Yang Yourong and Ying Xiyue, the two female Ghost Emperors, all followed Lin Chen into Lei Hong's Soul Sea, where the top of his head was open.

Then, they kept slashing.

Each slash attacked Lei Hong's Soul Sea acupoints.

One attack destroyed one acupoint.

A total of 302 acupoints were destroyed, but these were only destroyed by the ghosts. Lin Chen's attack directly broke 20 acupoints!

3.22 million Soul Sea area, directly necrotic!

At the same time, all the acupoints in Lin Chen's Soul Sea lit up.

The beams of light suppressed Lei Hong's body.

"Ah!" Lei Hong shouted.

In the next moment, Lin Chen's soul retreated back to his body.

All three thousand ghost soldiers also retreated at the same time.

"Your Soul Sea has no defensive treasures at all. It seems you're not doing very well either! Even I have the Human Character Tablet, but you have nothing. How dare you call yourself a Celestial God with such poverty?"

This time, it was Lin Chen's turn to look down on Lei Hong.

Moreover, now Lei Hong was spitting blood crazily.

His Soul Sea was damaged by 30% of its area.

Not only did his health sharply decrease by 30%, but the damage to the Soul Sea also affected all attributes...

"I originally thought that my strength was enough to rival a Celestial God, but after seeing your Soul Sea, I realized that I am still far behind, at least more than half... But so what? I, Lin Chen, still have the strength to kill a poor ghost Celestial God like you!"

At this moment, Lin Chen's body became smaller.

The Human Character Tablet, carrying the Town Sea Cauldron, also began to suppress Lei Hong's ten-thousand-foot body.

"Ah! Five Thunders Shake Heaven and Earth!"

In pain, Lei Hong resisted the suppression of the Town Sea Cauldron and the Human Character Tablet, repaired his Soul Sea, and even summoned a spell to attack Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen combined the sword energy of the Main God, and then slashed out a sword, destroying the Divine Thunder.

"Bro, where's your mental power? Come out and help me!"

Lei Hong shouted with difficulty.

Golden light began to flash on his body, which was still thousands of feet tall.

This was a sign that mental power was being activated!

"Divine Mental Power? Hmph!"

At this moment, Lin Chen's body was filled with demonic thoughts.

"This is..."

Lei Hong, who was constantly shrinking under the pressure of the Human Character Tablet and the Town Sea Cauldron, also saw the demonic thoughts on Lin Chen's body. He said in horror, "How is this possible? You... how can you have such powerful demonic thoughts? No! Aren't you a god? How can a god have demonic thoughts!"

"Want to know? I'll recite it for you."

In Lin Chen's hand, the Primordial Heavenly Punishment transformed from sword to saber, and then he closed his eyes and chanted.

"Primordial Saber Demon, Primordial Demon Born."

"Demon Soul Immortal, Saber Demon Indestructible!"

In the next moment, a figure seemed to appear above the Soul Sea.

Or a demonic shadow...

That demonic shadow roared at the sky, "I want to split this sky and shatter all darkness disguised as light!"

The voice of the Saber Demon shook the heavens and the earth.

Countless saber shadows and sharp blades, from all directions in the world, from different angles, all slashed towards Lei Hong's body at the same time...

Heavenly Demon Thousand Blade Slash!

*Bang!!!*

The golden light of divine power on Lei Hong's body exploded directly.

Even the mental power of the gods did not have time to descend.

At the same time, those demonic saber myriad blades also slashed directly towards his Soul Sea...

That was a devastating blow!

Four thousand words, today's update is still 20,000 words.

The name started, 16,000 words guaranteed.

Then, I will start to repay the seven chapters I owe.

Good night everyone!
