Chapter 645: Descent of the Evil God

Chapter 645 -644: Descent of the Evil God

Ji Yang had lost all traces of his handsome appearance. He had completely transformed into a god of slaughter, a demonic figure with four arms, charging forward as he brandished his Divine Artifacts.

His speed skyrocketed, far surpassing his previous abilities. Who could have imagined that Ji Yang was still hiding so much power?

“Even if our Old Ancestor were here, I doubt he could withstand this version of Ji Yang, could he?” Elder Luo and the others were stunned. They had never witnessed an Evil Spirit Race member erupt with power like this, and the sight of it made them tremble.

Their own Old Ancestor’s power-up probably wouldn’t be as astonishing as Ji Yang’s. However, the Phoenix Race’s transformation had minimal side effects, whereas the Evil Spirit Race’s came with immense drawbacks, much like consuming a Frenzy Elixir.

Not only was the duration short, but the side effects also kicked in immediately. This was something they didn’t know. All they knew now was that Ji Yang was terrifyingly strong, and his frenzied power was far beyond anything they could match.

But the one facing him now wasn’t the Phoenix Race’s Old Ancestor—it was Yi Tianyun!

However, Yi Tianyun looked just as imposing. He had transformed into an Evil God, appearing tall and mighty, handsome and devilishly charming. This was especially true with the two horns on his head and the pair of wings made of condensed Black Flame on his back. His aura was clearly a notch above Ji Yang’s.

“Dad, be careful!” Luo Yan cried out, his heart filled with worry.

“Don’t worry. Your dad isn’t that weak.” Yi Tianyun gave a faint smile, his gaze landing on the charging Ji Yang. He spoke calmly, “If my cultivation hadn’t broken through, he really would have been difficult to deal with. His power increased that much just from transforming? Compared to his initial state, his strength has increased more than fourfold—it’s almost five times stronger, isn’t it?”

Ji Yang’s initial Combat Power was less than 2 billion, and now it was 9.1 billion. Such an increase was simply heaven-defying.

“ROAR!”

The first thing to reach Yi Tianyun was the terrifying sonic wave. It instantly enveloped him but merely washed over his body without causing even a shred of damage. The ground around his feet, however, was torn asunder, churned up as if it had been plowed.

In an instant, Ji Yang was upon Yi Tianyun, the four Divine Artifacts in his hands crashing down viciously. Dazzling light bloomed from the four weapons. The ability to wield four Divine Artifacts simultaneously was, by itself, a show of power sufficient to crush most experts.

Each Divine Artifact had a different effect. The first to come down was a Divine Fan that struck like a short sword, aimed at his vital chest. Another, a Divine Sword, aimed for his head; cold Celestial Yin Fire coiled around its blade, faintly taking the form of a Ghost Soul that lunged forward to bite him. Next came a great axe, swinging to cut him in half at the waist, its sharp edge capable of slicing through the Void itself. Finally, a long spear—the weapon with the longest reach—also targeted his head, seeking to run him through in a single strike!

The power of the four Divine Artifacts compounded, their attacks layered one upon another to generate this terrifying level of Combat Power.

“Slaughter of a Myriad Ages!”

With bloodshot eyes, Ji Yang slashed down. Four dazzling beams of light sealed off every possible escape route, leaving nowhere to run. One could try burrowing into the ground, but even then, the four weapons would simply dig them out.

As he unleashed this astonishing Absolute Skill, countless skulls swarmed out from the weapons, gnawing their way toward Yi Tianyun. Getting caught by them would undoubtedly mean having a large chunk of his flesh ripped off.

“Power doesn’t come from shouting! It doesn’t come from having a variety of weapons! It comes from true strength!”

Terrifying Black Flame Power was already gathering in Yi Tianyun’s hand, coalescing into his fist. In the next moment, he threw a heavy uppercut at the descending Ji Yang. The Black Wing Power from the wings on his back instantly fused with his entire arm, and a dense web of Divine Runes materialized across his skin.

“Descent of the Evil God!” ℴ

A black glint flashed in his eyes as he unleashed the heavy uppercut. A colossal pillar of black light seemed to descend from the heavens, blanketing the area. In reality, it was a blast that erupted from his fist, one that shot straight through the sky!

Both he and Ji Yang were engulfed by it. The two forces collided in that instant, triggering a cataclysmic explosion!

“BOOM!!”

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Phoenix Nest, the force of the blast even stronger than the power that had emanated from the Phoenix Cave. Even though the onlookers were a great distance away, the aftershocks sent them staggering back, nearly knocking them off their feet.

‘Such terrifying power…’

No other words came to the onlookers’ minds. It was simply too shocking.

“The National Preceptor has to be the victor! He has to be!”

The hearts of the people from the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom sank, and they couldn’t help but shout. They could not accept their National Preceptor losing. If he lost, they would be well and truly finished.

“The Divine Envoy must be the one to win!”

The inhabitants of the Phoenix Nest, on the other hand, believed Yi Tianyun would be victorious. At this moment, Yi Tianyun was their only hope. If he were to die, they would be doomed as well. The mere thought was somewhat tragic—that they, the great Phoenix Race, had to be protected by a member of the Human Race.

But when they remembered he was their Divine Envoy, that feeling disappeared. They had long since come to see Yi Tianyun as one of their own.

Amidst everyone’s prayers, the black light from Descent of the Evil God rapidly expanded outward, annihilating the ground inch by inch wherever it touched. The expansion finally ceased after the light had enveloped an area with a radius of nearly half a mile.

Then, the black light gradually dissipated. What appeared before everyone’s eyes was Yi Tianyun’s towering figure, still standing motionless in the same spot. He hadn’t moved even half a step.

As for Ji Yang, there was no sign of him. All that could be seen was a pile of ashes in the distance, along with four Divine Artifacts lying on the ground, their surfaces scorched black.

“Na-National Preceptor…”

The onlookers were horrified. They couldn’t see the National Preceptor, but seeing his four Divine Artifacts lying on the ground, they knew. Their National Preceptor was dead, turned into a pile of ash.

“Burned to cinders… A Saint King Stage expert, just burned to cinders like that…”

Everyone gasped. ‘Even the Immortal Fire shouldn’t be able to do this so easily, right?’

In fact, it was the Immortal Fire—but an Immortal Fire that had been enhanced several times over. Empowered by the Royal Phoenix Bloodline, the might of the Immortal Fire was far beyond what the Celestial Yin Fire could ever hope to match. It could incinerate any evil substance, including Ji Yang himself.

Yi Tianyun hadn’t drawn upon his Phoenix Bloodline Power before now. Facing Ji Yang, he finally unleashed it. He could have suppressed the National Preceptor without it, but he used it anyway.

The reason was that he was running out of time. Only a few moments remained on his 200x-plus Experience Card. If he didn’t kill Ji Yang now, the effect would be wasted.

“Ding! Successfully killed Ji Yang. Obtained 22.4 billion Experience, 180,000 Madness Value, 40,000 Sin Value. Obtained Martial Arts: Celestial Yin Divine Technique, Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Divine Technique, Celestial Yin Array, Evil Spirit Divine Technique! Obtained Items: Evil Spirit Divine Sword (Low-Grade Divine Artifact), Evil Spirit Divine Armor (Low-Grade Divine Artifact), Evil Spirit Boots (Low-Grade Divine Artifact), Evil Spirit Bloodline (Second Grade), Evil Spirit Soul (Rare), Bone of Evil Spirit (Rare), Evil Spirit Secretary (Rare)!”

“Ding! Obtained Bonus Reward for Over-level Kill: 500 million Experience, 100,000 Madness Value, 5,000 Sin Value, and one additional lottery chance!”

‘A whole batch of Divine Artifacts finally dropped. I couldn’t get any to drop before, no matter who I killed. It seems I have to defeat an enemy above the fifth layer of the Saint King Stage to have a chance at obtaining weapons of this grade. For anyone below that level, the drop rate is simply too low. Even my Luck Aura was no help.’
