Kaboom!
The world quaked.
The immeasurably massive Divine Mountain shuddered and took to the skies, following Zeus, the King of the Gods, into outer space.
Jiang He stood where he was, a weird look on his face.
That …
Was he trying to figure it out?
"All I wanted was to give the western gods a warning. My intentions were not wrong, but they were filled with killing intent against me and sent three elites — the God of War, the God of Fire, and the Ocean God to kill me. To prevent the shockwaves from their battle from affecting Earth and threatening countless lives, I had to kill them quickly …"
"Beating the young, and the old comes …"
"That makes sense!"
Jiang He realized with a start.
Everything made sense if that was the case.
He turned to look into the distance.
Jin Sidao and the other Heavenly Immortals were standing at the distant horizon, with a shuddering Wang Zhenren behind them.
Wang Zhenren was about to piss his pants!
What the hell …
Did they cause such a huge ruckus just to avenge him?
That was a little unbearable!
"Throw him over!"
Jiang He said, pointing at the black-robed Divine Envoy who was unconscious in Jin Sidao's hand.
Jin Sidao threw the Divine Envoy with a wave of his hand, and Jiang He reached out to catch it before striding out and disappearing without a trace.
In the next instant, he appeared in outer space.
In the distance, the Divine Mountain floated in outer space and emanated power that could match innate soul treasures. Meanwhile, Zeus was sitting cross-legged at the peak of the mountain, his body exuding frightening divine might.
Behind him was the azure Earth that floated silently in outer space. That was when a flash of light shot up from the Hua Nation's capital and arrived beside Jiang He with a whoosh.
Wang Hou!
Having communicated with Jiang He through acoustics, Wang Hou quickly learned about what had happened and could not help scowling as he quietly said, "The western gods had arrived so ostentatiously, but you stopped them and slapped them in the face. It would be weird if they did not fight you to the death!"
As he spoke, he looked up at Zeus and communicated, "His ability would probably match an average Demi-Saint, but it would not be difficult for you and me to subjugate him with the power of the Star Map."
"No need."
Jiang He waved him off and smiled. "I've never used my full power after ascending up to Grand Luo, and I'm not even sure how much martial arts boosts my combat ability. Today, I can attack without restraint and test my limits."
He took a step forward and transmitted his voice to Wang Hou, saying, "I'll drag the battlefield to the depths of the universe later. Watch the situation and suppress the shockwaves of the battle, lest the planets here are damaged too much and affect Earth."
As he said this, he took out the "black-robed oracle" in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Zeus, is this a god under your command?"
On Mount Pantheon, Zeus lowered his head and frowned slightly.
In the Divine Mountain, the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, transmitted her voice: "Father, this is a Lower God under my command. I used some means to teleport him back to Earth and have him make arrangements on Earth to expand our influence after returning to Earth."
Zeus nodded at her words and flatly said in Ancient Greek, "He is indeed a Divine Spirit of the Divine Mountain, an eastern cultivator …"
Nonetheless, Jiang He understood what Zeus meant by his spirit ripple and cut him short, sneering, "You dog. Your subordinate hurt my man, and I'm just here to ask for an explanation, but you're actually sending elites to kill me. It seems that we're going to have to fight today."
Poof!
The black-robed oracle in his hand was crushed by Jiang He's grip.
Whoosh!
Jiang He raised his sword and swung it at Zeus from the distance.
On the Divine Mountain, Zeus was a little baffled.
What the hell!
You were the one who blocked my way and killed three of my Overdeities. Why is it that you have a reason now?
He promptly burst out and punched Jiang He's attack, while various elemental mysteries swirled around him, casting veins of forbidden spells at Jiang He.
Radiance flickered over Jiang He's body, and a superior-grade acquired soul armor appeared.
Treasure radiance flickered over his head, and up to eight mediocre-grade and superior-grade acquired soul treasures flew out at once. Those acquired soul treasures were of different shapes, such as jade towers, ancient bells, golden gongs, and so on, but all of them were defensive paragon treasures without exception.
Charging every defensive acquired soul treasure in a single breath, veins of radiance descended and shielded Jiang He tightly. As Zeus' attack landed, there was a series of clanking noises, causing the acquired soul treasures to tremble, but it did not hurt Jiang He at all.
"What the hell …"
Zeus almost vomited blood.
How was he supposed to fight this?
Up on the Divine Mountain, the Divine Spirits were gaping. Behind them, Wang Hou facepalmed, unable to bear to watch.
And yet, Jiang He felt nothing.
Everyone else in the game was divided into different classes, such as brick-moving players, time warriors, pay-to-win players, and godly rich players. Jiang He was at most a godly rich player, and had just over a hundred mystic treasures more than others.
Yuan Killer Sword in hand, he instantly approached Zeus and engaged him in melee combat.
Zeus was utterly aggrieved!
His combat ability could match an average Demi-Saint, and he was definitely a class above Jiang He.
He was most proficient in Thunder Dao, and had reached the pinnacle of mastery over the elemental laws of thunder … and yet, Jiang He had an Innate Thunder Dao Form.
Though Jiang He's Innate Thunder Dao Form was acquired through eating, it would not lose out to a real Innate Thunder Dao Form. As such, not only did he not fear thunderbolts, he could even convert the thunderbolts Zeus cast into his own strength.
Moreover, he was weakened by the many acquired soul treasures …
Zeus's attacks could not hurt Jiang He at all!
On the other hand, his Yuan Killer Sword would destroy a part of Zeus's divine body whenever it touched him. Most importantly, Jiang He's attacks were imbued with a spiritual attack, and even as his divine body was destroyed, Zeus's soul and will were severely damaged.
That was when the Divine Mountain quaked, and its colossal body crashed directly towards Jiang He.
Oom!
A flash abruptly shot out from outer space, engulfing the Divine Mountain and fixing it where it was.
His Marquis's aura erupted as he charged the might of the Star Map and sneered, "This is a fight between Jiang He and Zeus. Brothers of the west, please don't interfere!"
Zeus's face dropped even as he fought Jiang He, and he turned to flee. As a thunderbolt, he moved extremely quickly, but how could he match Jiang He's teleportation no matter how fast he was?
One in front and one behind, the other chasing and fleeing as they fought their way into the depths of outer space.
…
One day later.
Whoosh!
A bolt of lightning landed on a desolate, withered planet.
Zeus was no longer the gentleman he was before. His entire body was covered in blood and his aura was incredibly withered. Sitting down, he leaned on a rock and felt out his body, his expression darkening. "At least eighty percent of my divine power is gone, and my soul and will are maimed, losing almost forty percent of my ability … I'm dead without a doubt if this continues!"
His divine mind extended, but he could not sense Jiang He at all.
This caused Zeus's heart to be on tenterhooks …
He had been hunted down for an entire day and was about to crumble … would that damned eastern cultivator give up now?
Could he be hiding somewhere to ambush him?
And yet, in the next instant, Zeus's face dropped —
"Oh no, the Divine Mountain!"
"Someone is attacking the Divine Mountain!"
He promptly rose to his feet and turned into a thunderbolt as he returned.
Meanwhile, Jiang He had already returned. Yuan Killer Sword in hand, he was slashing wildly at the Divine Mountain while cursing, "Isn't that dog a little too good at running?"
"An entire day …"
"I couldn't even drink my saliva!"
"I wouldn't have fought him alone if I knew this would happen. Old Wang could have subdued Zeus with the might of the Star Map, and I could have cut him down with a few slashes …"
Screams of agony echoed over the Divine Mountain.
The bodies of the many Deities exploded, leaving only their divinities hovering over the mountain.
Over at the Divine Mountain, the divine light that protected it began to crumble, and it would only take a few more slashes to completely breach the Divine Mountain. That was when a thunderbolt flashed in the distance and Zeus appeared, growling, "Stop!"
Zeus's mind was racing, and he even considered making peace with Jiang He.
If push came to shove, he would never return to Earth and tell that damned eastern cultivator about the providence he had grasped …
"Minister Wang!"
Jiang He promptly turned and charged toward Zeus, bellowing in rage through acoustics, "Star Map!"
Understanding him, Wang Hou charged the Star Map, and every star in outer space erupted in dazzling radiance. Like silk, the starlight shot toward Zeus, leaving him stunned. Turning into a thunderbolt, he dodged left and right, intending to break out of the encirclement, but that was when Jiang He arrived.
A sword light cut off Zeus's path.
The power of the Star Map descended!
Zeus felt as if his body had sunk into a swamp, and the tremendous force made it difficult for him to fly normally.
Then, another sword light shot toward him.
The searing sword light that contained thunder and unparalleled power rapidly enlarged in Zeus's eyes, and he cried out, "No, don't kill me … I know a secret, a huge secret …"
Snikt!
His voice stopped abruptly.
Zeus's body crumbled.
Jiang He cut him over eighty times in a row, completely wiping out Zeus's divine power and cutting down his soul. Reaching out with his hand, he collected the Overdeity divinity that contained the power of thunder and exclaimed in surprise, "Eh …"
"Minister Wang, what did he say just now?"
In the distance.
The Divine Mountain was shaking violently, and wails could be heard from the top of the mountain. The many living Gods had fallen with Zeus, their faith completely collapsing!
And so, the King of the Gods of the West …
Had fallen completely.
"No!"
"Godfather …"
"Godfather is undying and indestructible! He cannot die!"
"Kill that eastern cultivator and avenge Godfather!"
A series of battle cries could be heard from the Divine Mountain!
"Sigh …"
Jiang He sighed. These foolish Gods were forcing him to go on a killing spree!
Snikt!
Streaks of sword light shot out.
The Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity formed from the Yuan Killer Sword and other rank-nine acquired soul treasures, and a sword light cut through the stars and cut toward the Divine Mountain.
