Chapter 492: Do Gods Bleed Too!

[Dalabeng ordered the Winged God Church's knight legions to attack.]

[But the Extreme Terrain Realm generals and Transcendent Realm marshals in those legions were already gone. The rest, Core Formation, Qi Transformation, even Innate Martial Artists and Postnatal Martial Artists... how could any of them be a match for you?]

[You even felt like fighting them was a waste of time.]

[Objectively speaking, it really was a waste of time. You'd be better off using that time to clean up the remaining high-grade cultivators on Lingwei Star.]

["Winged God! Every single day you have the nerve to claim you're a god and make these people worship you! As a god, is this how you let your faithful followers die for nothing?! You call yourself a god?!"]

[You amplified your voice so everyone could hear.]

["You're at least a Transcendent Realm expert! I'm only at the Extreme Terrain Realm! And you still don't dare accept my challenge?! You're such a coward! You don't deserve to be a god!!"]

[Your trash talk kept coming, one insult after another, without end.]

[By the time you finished, even people within the knight legion were casting strange glances at their Winged God, Dalabeng.]

[Everyone could see that ordinary soldiers were no match for you. To them, you were nothing but a meat grinder.]

[But the Winged God still hid inside his castle, protected by layer upon layer of protective formations, guarded by packs of church guardian divine beasts. He simply refused to come out.]

[Wasn't that a bit inappropriate?]

[Dalabeng finally couldn't hold it in anymore.]

[If this continued, he feared he would lose the hearts of his people entirely.]

["Fine! This god accepts your challenge! This is a battle between you and me, so stop harming my loyal believers!"]

[You looked at the corpses littering the ground and smiled.]

["Can't blame me for this, right? When I first arrived, I said I was challenging you. I didn't plan to fight your legions. You're the one who ordered them to charge. Being your soldier is truly pitiful."]

[Compared to you, Dalabeng really was an unqualified leader.]

[When you fought, you charged at the very front, gnawing on the toughest bones, leaving only routine-intensity battles for your soldiers.]

[But Dalabeng sent his soldiers to die first while he hid behind layers of protection.]

[Not that you could blame Dalabeng.]

[He already knew what had happened at Spearhead Valley.]

[As long as he still had a functioning brain, he shouldn't have the slightest thought of fighting you right now.]

[But he'd been backed into a corner. There was no way out.]

[Dalabeng walked out of the resplendent, golden Winged God Castle. With every step he took, white clouds materialized beneath his feet. Twelve naked baby Winged Clan members followed beside him, carrying flower baskets and scattering petals endlessly.]

[Dalabeng had twelve wings behind his back, making him the Winged Clan member with the most wings you'd ever seen.]

[He held a golden staff in his hand, wore a divine crown on his head, draped in a white divine robe, with a halo orbiting behind his head.]

["Believers! Do not fear! Do not grieve! All heretics shall be... what the f—!"]

[You didn't listen to his rambling. You just threw a punch straight at him, scaring him into cursing on reflex.]

[But to be fair, since he dared call himself a god, he did have some tricks up his sleeve.]

[If you didn't predict the Light Speed Fist in advance, it was basically impossible to dodge after seeing you throw it.]

[But Dalabeng's body actually turned ethereal!]

[The beam of the Light Speed Fist passed straight through him without causing a single bit of damage.]

["Spiritual Treasure?"]

[This guy must be carrying some kind of treasure that automatically phased his body into a virtual state whenever it was attacked.]

[But the ethereal state didn't last long, recovering in the blink of an eye.]

[It seemed that as long as you kept attacking continuously, his phasing treasure couldn't guarantee his safety either.]

[Apparently Dalabeng knew this too, so he stopped posturing and playing divine tricks, immediately starting to move and reposition.]

[Dalabeng's combat power was far from ordinary.]

[After all, he wasn't just at the Late Stage of the Transcendent Realm, he was also the supreme ruler of the Winged God Church, holding access to the richest and highest-quality resources in this entire stellar system.]

[However, despite agreeing to a one-on-one duel with you, he still had his subordinate legions constantly helping him, interfering with you.]

[Enraged, you activated the Stellar River Divine Art, lifting the Winged God Church's ancient castle into the air, then slamming it back down, reducing it to a pile of rubble.]

["Ahh!! My Winged God Castle!! An antique passed down for over ten thousand years!!!"]

[Dalabeng was furious too, going all out and clashing head-on with you.]

[Your entire body radiated the power of countless trait tags, leaving Dalabeng completely helpless.]

[Even if he managed to beat you black and blue, you'd be fully healed a moment later, making ten thousand alpacas stampede through his heart.]

[Dalabeng didn't get hit by the negative trait tags fired from the Trait Slingshot, since he could dodge them when he was on guard.]

[Combined with all the treasures boosting him, this guy's actual combat intensity was several notches above the Transcendent Realm experts you'd dealt with at Spearhead Valley.]

["I know who you are! You're Chen Dong!"]

[In the midst of the fierce battle, Dalabeng managed to deduce from your techniques that you were Chen Dong, the rebel army leader who had conquered Fortune Star.]

[You let out a cold snort and directly reverted to Chen Dong's appearance.]

["So what if I am?! I am the doomsday of your Winged God Church!"]

["Hahaha! What big talk! You certainly have skill, but your rebel army is worthless!

A bunch of useless humans from a third-class star, trying to launch an expedition against my church on a second-tier star?

What an absolute joke!

Chen Dong, you cannot defeat me!

Once I find your rebel army, I will tie all you humans, as vile and contemptible as cockroaches and rats, to my divine statue and burn you all! Burn! Burn! Burn!!"]

[Your expression darkened.]

[The red hair on your head was flickering, gradually transitioning toward gold.]

[Dalabeng sensed something was off.]

[You let out a furious roar, startling him.]

["You! Are! Asking! For! It!!"]

[It had been a long time since you entered the Super One state, but today you were finally provoked.]

[The realm aura radiating from you surged violently, pressing straight toward the Transcendent Realm!]

[And that wasn't the end of it.]

[You activated the second effect of the Mythical trait tag "Jiahao Behavior," spending 3,500 points to drop Dalabeng's realm from the Late Stage of the Transcendent Realm all the way down to the Early Stage of the Transcendent Realm!]

[Dalabeng's arrogant expression instantly turned into one of stunned disbelief.]

["My cultivation..."]

[Your golden hair stood on end, divine power shockwaves rippling outward layer after layer. You stood in midair on the Wind-Riding divine ability, your gaze bearing down on Dalabeng.]

["Now, let's see who can't defeat who!"]

[With a boom of air bursting, you charged forward like a missile, dragging a sonic boom arc behind you. The Qilin Arm blazed with Triple-Origin True Fire, your physical body barreling through, the "Serious Punch"!]

[Dalabeng hadn't even recovered from the shock of his cultivation dropping, so he could only rely on his phasing Spiritual Treasure to dodge that punch.]

["Ghost Step!"]

[What left him speechless was that you had clearly passed straight through him, yet at that astonishing speed, you managed to turn around on a dime right behind him without losing any momentum, slamming a punch into his back!]

["Pffft!!!"]

[Dalabeng coughed blood on the spot, his entire body sent flying sideways, smashing through seven or eight mountain peaks.]

["So gods bleed too, huh? What kind of god are you?!"]
