Chapter 1197: Chapter 181: Golden Light Pierces the Sky, Powerhouse Skeleton (Double-Length Chapter)

The golden shield only lasted for a moment before it shattered with a roar.

Pffft—

Divine blood splattered.

The flesh of the Wenxuan Divine King was nearly cut in two, his beating heart exposed to the air, his face full of horror.

"Formation!"

Completely unexpected.

A tremendously powerful formation unexpectedly existed around the golden skeleton, and the formation was hidden so perfectly that even he had no prior awareness of it.

It was only after entering the formation’s range and being attacked that he barely reacted.

In that first moment.

The Wenxuan Divine King turned to flee.

At this moment, he abandoned the plan to seize the golden skeleton.

There was no choice.

The formation present was too terrifying; just one blast of power nearly destroyed his flesh. If he lingered, not only would he fail to obtain the golden skeleton, but he would also fall here.

Even in a situation where the Divine Kingdom was not destroyed, he wouldn’t truly fall. However, having his flesh pointlessly destroyed was a tremendous loss.

Under such circumstances.

How could the Wenxuan Divine King be willing to lose a body here?

So.

Knowing it was impossible, he retreated without hesitation.

However—

Before the Wenxuan Divine King could exit the formation’s range, terrifying evil qi emerged from the void, as if it occupied the entire Universe, leaving no way to retreat.

There was no time to react.

The opponent was already engulfed by overwhelming evil qi, and the divine body tempered for countless years was instantly obliterated within it.

Divine blood dispersed into the void.

The divine body and bones left no trace.

A divine body of a Universe Divine King was thus completely annihilated.

And after the Wenxuan Divine King’s divine body fell, all the forces in the void, where evil qi had previously surged into the sky, disappeared as if they had never appeared.

Endless Void.

Within a Universe Divine Kingdom, the power of faith madly converged. As a divine body was about to be coagulated, suddenly, overwhelming evil qi erupted inside the divine body, shattering it once more.

Not only that.

After destroying the divine body, the residual power rampaged in the Divine Kingdom, ultimately forming a monumental strike, descending toward the earth below.

"The sky is collapsing—"

"A powerhouse has invaded!"

The believers in the Divine Kingdom raised their heads to watch the descending apocalyptic strike, an unmistakable look of despair in their eyes.

Strong creatures attempted to defend against it, but their bodies were obliterated by the impact before they could even approach.

Rumble!!

The power struck down, shaking the vast Divine Kingdom.

The Universe Divine Kingdom, as stable as vast heaven and earth, emitted crisp cracking sounds, and visible clear cracks appeared.

Long after.

All the disturbances gradually subsided.

A tremendous amount of faith power converged again, and a divine body of a Divine King was coagulated.

The reborn Wenxuan Divine King showed no joy of surviving a catastrophe, his face grim and terrifying.

Within his sight, the entire Divine Kingdom was ravaged.

In just that strike, countless believers fell.

Though the Divine Kingdom is undying, and believers can still be resurrected after death, it requires a great deal of faith power.

Moreover.

More grievous than the believers’ fall or the consumption of faith power, it was the cracks appearing in the Divine Kingdom that truly pained the Wenxuan Divine King.

The Universe Divine Kingdom was incredibly sturdy, and ordinary power could scarcely damage it.

But once damaged, restoring it would demand unimaginable time and resources.

Until the Divine Kingdom was fully repaired, he shouldn’t expect any breakthroughs.

It should be known.

The Divine Kingdom is the foundation of a Divine King; with this foundation now damaged, it’s fortunate if his power doesn’t regress, let alone progress.

Moments later.

The Wenxuan Divine King sighed, "This time, I’ve suffered a great loss!"

Not only did he not obtain that powerhouse skeleton, but his divine body was destroyed, and his Divine Kingdom was nearly broken.

Such losses, it would take thousands of years to recover from.
