Free Web NovelChapter 352: Chapter 211: Counterattack on the Ancient Divine Kingdom
Still, to be attacked by such a tiny ant left him utterly enraged.
"How long can that Golden Giant of yours last?"
"The moment your Golden Giant’s power is exhausted will be my chance to destroy you."
"I’ve laid an inescapable trap here. No matter how you try to flee, your death today is certain."
Kerumnoc said coldly.
"Heh..."
Upon hearing this, Zorn let out a faint, cold laugh and paid him no further mind.
While fending off his opponent’s attacks, Zorn calculated the time.
Zorn had long been prepared for this Ancient God to make an example of him.
At the same time, Zorn was using this place as bait to prepare a grand surprise for the Jade Realm.
Currently, the Jade Realm still possessed eight Ancient Gods.
However, not every one of these eight Ancient Gods was at their full strength.
Two of them, in particular, were in serious trouble.
One had been grievously wounded while exploring the mists of ancient time and was still recovering there, unable to return anytime soon.
The other had suffered grievous injuries in the previous ancient war and had yet to recover; in fact, their condition was steadily worsening.
Naturally, this situation was unknown to the outside world.
But Zorn was perfectly aware of it.
Thus, decades ago, while using the Insect King Curse to attack the Jade Magic Ring Tree, Zorn had contacted his senior, Ossirion, and informed him of his "major discovery."
Zorn’s news naturally left Ossirion overjoyed.
He immediately contacted several of the elder Ancient Gods in his Divine Kingdom to share this crucial, secret intelligence.
After all, if the information was true, it was a golden opportunity for their Calamity Court Realm.
As for Zorn’s claim that he had uncovered this secret information from within the Jade Magic Ring Tree...
...Ossirion believed it without a doubt.
In the century-long war between Divine Kingdoms,
whether it was the ritual flames Zorn contributed to destroy an Ancient Divine Kingdom,
or the aid he provided for the Calamity Court to absorb the profound source of the Jade Magic Ring Tree,
his contributions were immeasurable.
It had even reached the point... where a few of the Calamity Court’s Ancient Gods were vaguely considering letting Zorn lead the war for the next Mythical Wave.
Therefore, after the two sides came to a secret agreement, they immediately contacted the Ancient Gods of the Hidden Wilderness Sect.
When the Hidden Wilderness Sect learned of this secret information, they were skeptical, but still willing to take part in the plan.
If the information proved false, they would only lose a portion of their projected power.
But if it was true, it was a prime opportunity to deal a devastating blow to the Jade Realm.
An opportunity like this, after all, might only come once in countless eons.
With the opportunity right before their eyes, they naturally had to seize it.
During the confrontation with the Ancient God Kerumnoc,
as time went on,
the power of the Ancient Golden Giant under Zorn’s control began to wane.
Seeing this, the Ancient God Kerumnoc was ecstatic, his assault growing even more ferocious.
His Ancient God Power churned up endless tidal waves of Divine Power within the increasingly shattered Ancient Divine Kingdom.
Middle Rank Gods were continually obliterated in the wake of those terrifying waves of Divine Power.
While silently resisting,
Zorn was also waiting in silence.
He had inflicted such grievous damage upon the Jade Realm this time.
Therefore, several Ancient Gods were bound to gather outside the Taigula Ancient God Country, intending to join forces to eliminate Zorn.
This would inevitably make it difficult for these Ancient Gods to return and provide reinforcements for a time.
At that moment, all it would take was for several Ancient Gods to join forces and attack the two undefended Ancient Divine Kingdoms.
It wouldn’t take long to inflict devastating damage upon those undefended Divine Kingdoms.
In the past,
the Calamity Court and the Hidden Wilderness Sect clearly would not have dared to make such a move against the Jade Realm.
After all!
No matter how one looked at it, the Jade Realm was one of the supreme realms in the Star Realm Cosmic.
However,
after a century of war,
a significant portion of the Jade Magic Ring Tree’s essence had been siphoned away,
yet the Jade Realm had failed to launch an effective counterattack.
By this point, it was clear that the Jade Realm had grown somewhat weak.
It was the perfect time to kick them while they were down.
That was precisely why the two great powers had joined forces in this plan to attack the Jade Realm.
But what they didn’t know was this:
The Jade Magic Ring Realm’s greatest asset, their ultimate trump card, was three other Ancient Gods.
And what the Jade Magic Ring Realm could never have foreseen was that Zorn had already, long ago, silently eliminated their greatest trump card.
And this... was precisely why Zorn dared to use the information he possessed to ignite a war against the Jade Realm.
Whether this plan succeeded or not,
it was guaranteed to strike a blow against the Jade Realm.
At the very least, it would make the Jade Realm dare not launch another large-scale invasion of the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom.
As he resisted the Ancient God Kerumnoc’s assault, Zorn felt the pressure mounting.
’This shattered ancient war machine is really difficult to sustain.’
While silently resisting, Zorn suddenly felt the auras of several powerful Ancient Gods surge forth.
At this, Zorn was instantly overjoyed.
’Have the Ancient Gods made their move?’
’They must have. Otherwise, the Ancient Gods hiding nearby to kill me wouldn’t have revealed their auras so easily. Besides, according to the Cosmic Magic Net’s reconnaissance, it seems several of them have left.’
’In that case... my objective is complete.’
Just as Zorn breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to abandon the Ancient Golden Giant,
"Courting death..."
An utterly furious roar, laced with Divine Power, came thundering toward him.
The more enraged the Ancient God Kerumnoc became, the more pleased Zorn was.
After all, only by hitting them where it truly hurt would this high and mighty Ancient God become so furious.
"Hahaha... Kerumnoc, it was the other Ancient Gods who suffered a devastating blow this time. Next time, you’ll be the one under siege."
"You’ve been watching me from the shadows for so many years. Sooner or later, I, Zorn, will descend upon your Ancient God Divine Kingdom and shatter that damn nest of yours."
Zorn’s cold voice made Kerumnoc even more incandescent with rage.
He unleashed one powerful Ancient God Curse after another, each one striking the Ancient Golden Giant.
The terrifying power was transmitted through to him, and for a moment, Zorn struggled to withstand it.
RUMBLE...
With a violent tremor,
POP!
Zorn’s projection, which he could no longer sustain, was finally annihilated on the spot.
Even then, Kerumnoc continued to attack the Ancient Golden Giant, venting the fury in his heart.
Their carefully laid plan for a siege...
...had been ruined by those audacious Ancient Gods and their Surprise Attack on the Divine Kingdoms.
Moreover, he had no idea where those Ancient Gods had obtained such secret information.
They had somehow learned about the two Ancient Gods who were in serious trouble.
Caught off guard like this, even if they rushed back to defend,
the Divine Kingdoms of these Ancient Gods were vast distances apart.
Some were even located in extremely hidden and inaccessible regions.
Even if they could send reinforcements, only their projections could arrive ahead of time.
Their true bodies would require a considerable amount of time to arrive.
In the meantime, with those two Ancient Divine Kingdoms either undefended or weakly defended,
the two great Ancient Divine Kingdoms were bound to suffer disastrous losses.
This naturally left the Ancient God Kerumnoc both shocked and enraged.
However, what they didn’t know was...
...that Zorn, who had been on guard all along, had already used the ever-growing Cosmic Magic Net to quietly achieve Resurrection and return, hiding himself away in a Secret Land.
Even if this group of Ancient Gods took advantage of the Divine Kingdom’s shattering to jointly imprison the Ancient Golden Giant,
they couldn’t threaten Zorn in the slightest.
Having long anticipated that they would move against him, Zorn would never have put himself in such a precarious position.
Their plan to besiege Zorn was doomed to fail.
When Zorn’s consciousness returned safely...
「In the depths of the vast Starry Sky.」
Violent fluctuations of the Ancient Gods’ Divine Power erupted.
The war of the Ancient Gods had begun.
And the terrifying power of Ancient Gods attacking Divine Kingdoms radiated outward with endless horror, spreading throughout the vast and infinite Star Realm Cosmic.
