Free Web NovelChapter 353: Chapter 348: Divine Artifact Projection, Desperate Counter-attack
"This..."
The Cyan Rong Incarnation’s pupils constricted.
With a deity’s insight and its familiarity with the Eternal Hunt, it could naturally sense it.
Su Ye’s divinity shared the same source as the Eternal Hunt’s.
But...
Su Ye’s divinity was crystal clear, incomparably pure!
It was a stark contrast to the filthy, sullied divinity of the Eternal Hunter Incarnation!
"He..."
"Did he purify your divinity?" the Cyan Rong Incarnation asked, its voice trembling with disbelief.
Purifying divinity!
What did this mean for the Southern Deities?!
One had to understand, to cleanse the sins accumulated within their divinity, the Southern Deities had tried countless methods over the past several thousand years.
Blood sacrifices, Secret Techniques, Orbits...
But in the end, the results could only be described as minimal!
It was very simple.
He who offends Heaven has no one to whom he can pray!
The sins of the Southern Deities originated from the world itself.
And yet their power, long life, and glory... also originated from the world!
That being the case, how could the Southern Deities possibly use external means to remove the contamination and purify their divinity?
The only effective method was to use blood sacrifices—a stop-gap measure that was like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Therefore, most of the Southern Deities could only live on borrowed time.
Weaker deities, like the Goddess of Fertility, had no choice but to enter a deep slumber... and some even perished completely in their sleep!
For the deities, this karmic burden was practically an unsolvable problem!
But now...
it seemed this unsolvable problem had found an answer?!
...
As this thought crossed its mind, the Cyan Rong Incarnation, which had been about to flee, paused its Escape Light and halted at the edge of the battlefield.
The purification of divinity!
Its allure to the Southern Deities was self-evident!
Faced with such a temptation, the Cyan Rong Incarnation’s desire to escape weakened considerably.
Seeing this, the Eternal Hunter Incarnation said,
"Cyan Rong, you can flee."
"Go back and try to seize the Fog Forest Divine Status as your escape route."
"But... even if another deity’s divine status has a similar portfolio, how could it ever compare to your own?"
There was no falsehood in those words.
As long as there was any other possibility, no deity would be willing to replace their own divine status.
Sensing Cyan Rong’s hesitation, the Eternal Hunt struck while the iron was hot. "This scion of old gods has gone through several rounds of exertion. His Spiritual Power is almost depleted."
"I’ll take the lead in attacking."
"You strike when you see an opportunity."
Without waiting for Cyan Rong’s reply, the Eternal Hunter Incarnation’s expression turned solemn.
An Obsidian longspear materialized in its hand.
An aura of ruin and finality spread out.
"By my divine office, the person before me cannot escape my hunt!"
Su Ye’s pupils shrank.
’A Divine Artifact projection!’
WHOOSH!
The Eternal Hunter Incarnation looked just like a Warrior from the Divine Continent.
With the Obsidian longspear in its right hand and the Aquis Shield in its left, the two Divine Artifact projections offered both offense and defense!
At the same time.
SWOOSH!
Cyan Rong’s Escape Light wheeled around, and it returned to the battlefield.
A scepter appeared in its hand!
It had a black wooden handle, and inset at its tip was not a gemstone, but a goat’s skull. Verdant green branches grew out from the skull’s empty eye sockets!
Another Divine Artifact projection!
The two divine incarnations, sparing no cost, summoned their Divine Artifact projections. Abandoning all thought of escape, they charged toward Su Ye to kill him!
...
’Are they... going all out now?’
Su Ye’s eyes flickered and his expression tightened.
Just as the Eternal Hunt had said, Su Ye’s Magical Power was indeed running low.
After all, he had already activated four Quasi-Techniques in succession.
Soul-Chasing Life-Reaping, Netherworld Boat, Heart of the Vast Sea, and Monarch of Calamity.
Among them, the Sea of Deep Blue, formed by the Heart of the Vast Sea and Monarch of Calamity, was constantly draining his Magical Power!
Even with Su Ye’s immense reserves of Magical Power, he felt an intense fatigue. The feeling of depletion, as if the very last drop of his marrow was being squeezed out, was deeply unsettling.
Inside his Dantian Qi Sea, only twenty percent of his total Magical Power remained!
And this was despite him constantly using various methods to replenish it.
On the deck of the Ghostly Flood Dragon, the Storage Ring on Su Ye’s hand flashed repeatedly as one pill after another, each with a sweet medicinal fragrance and the effect of restoring Magical Power, flew out.
Su Ye tossed these precious third-tier pills into his mouth like they were candy beans.
With a movement of his mouth, he skipped chewing and swallowed them whole. His stomach contracted, grinding them into powder!
He was brazenly using his formidable Body Refining cultivation to rapidly absorb the medicinal energy!
And that wasn’t all.
Su Ye also had a Water Element Top-grade Spirit Stone concealed in his hand.
He was frantically drawing upon the pure Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stone to replenish his Magical Power!
BZZZT.
As Su Ye absorbed its energy, the Spirit Stone’s brilliance dimmed.
Cracks appeared all over the surface of the aquamarine top-grade Spirit Stone!
Even with their self-regenerating properties, excessively drawing out power all at once would cause a top-grade Spirit Stone to disintegrate. This one was no exception!
Even a Golden Core cultivator would curse him as a spendthrift upon seeing this scene!
One must understand, just how precious were top-grade Spirit Stones?!
This behavior was no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs... but Su Ye did it anyway!
’If I don’t do this, my Magical Power won’t recover at all...’
A gloomy look flashed in Su Ye’s eyes.
He was, after all, only a Crystallization Realm cultivator. Compared to the Southern Deities, his realm was far too low.
The total amount of Magical Power within his Dantian Qi Sea was relatively limited, and the cost of consecutively activating Quasi-Techniques while also maintaining the Sea of Deep Blue was truly terrifying!
He had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
But even so, after suppressing and killing the Thunder Axe Incarnation and heavily injuring the Cyan Rong Incarnation, the area of the Sea of Deep Blue had already shrunk to less than a third of its original size!
...
But it was at this very moment that the two divine incarnations, the Eternal Hunt and Cyan Rong, simultaneously summoned their Divine Artifact projections and launched a counterattack!
Pressure!
A suffocating pressure, like a mountain toppling down!
"Hmph!"
Faced with such heavy pressure, Su Ye snorted coldly.
He shook his sleeve and slapped out the last two Water Element Top-grade Spirit Stones he had on him!
As light flowed, the pure Spiritual Qi from the top-grade Spirit Stones converted into Su Ye’s Magical Power at an incredible speed!
Then, the freshly recovered Magical Power, without even completing a single cycle through his meridians, surged rapidly into his divine seed to supply the Sea of Deep Blue!
WHOOSH!
The Sea of Deep Blue surged forth, clashing head-on with the brilliant light radiating from the Divine Artifacts!
In the void, intense waves of Spiritual Power emanated, covering an area of over a hundred li like ionizing radiation!
The battle had reached a fever pitch!
...
Meanwhile, affected by the aftershocks of the great battle, Giant Stone City, several dozen li away, was in a state of chaos, filled with panic.
In this atmosphere, the many plague-stricken patients within Giant Stone City, who had been largely ignored, suddenly acted as if they had received some kind of decree.
PATTER, PATTER.
They left their homes in unison, walked into the streets, and gathered together.
Regardless of age or gender, their expressions were all identical, showing a strange, serene peace.
They murmured in unison, chanting some kind of obscure and strange syllables.
It was as if they were...
Praying?
A passerby was shocked by the sight and tried to turn and flee.
But a moment later, as if their soul had been entranced, the passerby’s expression was assimilated as well.
Their eyes lost focus, their face became serene, and they joined the ranks of the praying crowd.
As they prayed, branches, vines, and mushrooms even began to sprout from their body, as if they too had been infected by the plague...
A certain Orbit was being activated within Giant Stone City!
