Chapter 170: True God Takes Action
I understand. I will correct the chapter by ensuring each paragraph is concise and focuses on a single core idea, making the text easier to read and understand.
The methods used by these individuals were all from the most powerful races. They had once created invincible legends for their respective clans. However, no matter how many Divine Abilities they possessed, they were not a match for Shi Jian.
Thunderbolts roared from Shi Jian's body, evolving the heavens and earth. The Void Realm emitted deafening roars as endless runes exploded.
The thunderbolts from Shi Jian collided with the runes of the many Primordials. It was a scene like mountains and seas breaking their dikes, with immortals and devils appearing in the world. The radiant light was blazing!
When the heavens and earth quieted down, the Divine Abilities of the many Primordials rapidly collapsed. They all coughed up blood and flew backward.
Among them, many strong cultivators of the Divine Flame Realm were forced to reveal their true forms. They had been hidden among the crowd specifically to slay Shi Jian, yet were repelled by a single strike.
Countless Primordial strong cultivators were in disbelief. Each of them was a Prodigy who could suppress an entire state. Now, several of them combined their strength, with Divine Rank cultivators mixed in.
Such a full-power strike was broken by Shi Jian with a casual wave. What was even more unacceptable to everyone was Shi Jian's cultivation. His Aura was exposed for all to see.
Shi Jian's cultivation was only at the Array Realm. Yet he unleashed battle power almost invincible in the Divine Flame Realm. This was a terrifying reality.
Shi Jian took a step forward, preparing to pursue his victory and slay everyone, but he suddenly felt a threat. His gaze swept forward, and a golden-haired male walked towards him.
"Be careful, this person is a True God!" The Witch's voice, as fine as a thread, sounded in Shi Jian's ear.
Shi Jian's expression became slightly solemn. A True God was a True One Realm expert. He had slain a True God in the prison before, but that one was injured and didn't display much strength.
This golden-haired male was a complete True God. Even in the Upper Realm, a True God was considered a strong cultivator. Heavenly Gods, needless to say, were even more so, and they usually went into seclusion to comprehend the Dao of Longevity and seek immortality.
Facing a complete True God, Shi Jian felt pressure. His gaze, like a torch, fixed on the golden-haired male.
"You are that great fiend of sinful blood?" The golden-haired male spoke calmly, his steps powerfully approaching. His body glowed and his entire being's Qi and blood surged, making him very imposing.
The corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of mockery and coldness. "I have slain a True God outside, but unfortunately, he was injured and could not satisfy me. I hope you're not too weak. Don't follow in his footsteps!" Shi Jian's figure was slender, and he smiled slightly, but the words that came out of his mouth were earth-shattering.
An Array Realm cultivator had slain a True God. Just saying it would scare people to death. The golden-haired male was bathed in flames, with various golden runes appearing on his body. A smile also appeared on his face, but it was very cold.
"So arrogant? I don't think you'll survive today. You'd best be able to satisfy me, so this trip isn't in vain!"
Shi Jian took a step towards him. "If you want to kill me, let's see what you've got. Being arrogant in front of me, I'll send you on your way."
In an instant, the Qi and blood on Shi Jian's body permeated from his Physical Body. The silhouette of a Giant Elephant also appeared behind him. His entire being was like a Divine Devil traversing the Nine Heavens. Facing a True One strong cultivator, Shi Jian dared not be careless and immediately activated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.
"Truly arrogant..." Upon seeing Shi Jian actively charging towards him, the golden-haired male instantly unleashed his Divine Power. Various runes intertwined between the heavens and earth, and the Void Realm was dyed golden.
"I have swept across several states, and since my debut, I have slain countless Geniuses. Killing you today will not stain my hands!" The golden-haired male's strength was extraordinary; he had participated in the Genius Battle before. In his opinion, Shi Jian could only barely make him take action.
The golden-haired male was high in the sky. He took a step with extreme speed, leaving only afterimages behind. He stepped towards Shi Jian's crown, an insult and a display of his confidence. Adopting such a method was a blatant contempt.
He wanted to stomp Shi Jian to death and then display his supreme demeanor. A thunderclap sounded in mid-air. As he stepped forth, golden runes boiled in the Void Realm like surging waves.
Shi Jian had once encountered someone who used a similar method. That was a few years ago, during the Kun Peng Divine Burial. A sea creature, a descendant of the Sea God, had tried to stomp him to death. But now, the grass on that creature's grave was several meters high.
This True God strong cultivator was no exception. Shi Jian was truly enraged. A scorching white light exploded, and Divine Thunder shot into the sky. This was the Gengjin Divine Thunder, a Divine Ability Shi Jian had just cultivated to Perfection.
"Boom!" The scorching white light and golden light collided in the Void Realm. Brilliant light rain danced, and the sky was densely packed with runes. The golden-haired male was powerful; the might of one foot shook the heavens and earth. He was a True God, and the single word "God" described his immense power.
However, he was now facing Shi Jian.
"Break for me!!!" Nearly ten thousand Giant Elephant strengths erupted. Shi Jian blasted open the sky full of runes, intending to unleash a decisive kill. At his glabella, an eye appeared. This was the Eye of God, the Dominator's Physical Body, the Eye of Origin!
Divine Light was resplendent. Countless Profound Truths were imbued into this strike. From a great distance, everyone could feel the terror and domineering nature of it. The surrounding Void Realm was almost distorted and about to burst open.
Thunder and lightning intertwined, and various forces erupted with brilliant light, illuminating the entire world. The golden-haired male's expression became solemn. Madmen must have the capital for their arrogance.
The golden-haired male had also once massacred the Geniuses of various powerful races. He had few rivals in the True God Realm. Now, he actually felt a threat from Shi Jian.
The golden-haired male was high in the sky. That foot emitted light, and endless golden runes manifested. A world appeared beneath his foot, as if a world was suppressing downwards.
"Boom!" A loud bang. Accompanied by endless thunder, a fist imbued with Giant Elephant Strength pierced through that world, like a painting being torn and burned. Shi Jian's powerful strike pierced through the golden-haired male's precious art.
A terrifying immense force acted upon the golden-haired male's foot. Blood splattered, and bones cracked! The runes on his sole dimmed.
"Hiss..." Countless people were shocked. Shi Jian was facing a True God, and he had actually gained the upper hand in the blink of an eye! It was simply terrifying and unimaginable.
The golden-haired male's expression finally changed. He looked at Shi Jian in surprise and praised sincerely, "It seems I truly underestimated you... Your terrifying Physical Body strength is already comparable to a True God!"
The golden-haired male's words instantly caused countless Prodigies to exclaim. Physical Body strength comparable to a True God? What kind of monster was this?
Shi Jian clearly only had the cultivation of the Array Realm. Yet, his Physical Body was comparable to a True God! Even storytellers wouldn't dare to say such a thing. Among the many Primordial strong cultivators, very few had cultivated their Physical Body to the Perfection Realm, and even then, it was only Perfection within their own realm. But Shi Jian...
He had the Physical Body of the True God Realm while being only at the Array Realm. This was simply unheard of.
"It's too late to beg for mercy now; you will be the second True God strong cultivator to die by my hand..." Shi Jian stood in the Void Realm, his Aura like a rainbow.
The golden-haired male took a step, and a long spear appeared in his hand. Runes flickered in his pupils. His black hair cascaded, and the long spear erupted with golden light. His entire being exuded an invincible Aura.
The long spear in his hand cut through the Void Realm, unleashing the most brilliant killing Qi, slicing towards Shi Jian. The great battle had begun!
Shi Jian's Battle Intent soared. With a grab, the Nether God's Spear instantly appeared in his hand. The distance between them was already extremely close. Now, they instantly clashed, and the heavens and earth trembled. A sharp Divine Rainbow bloomed, like blood flowers scattering.
The long spear in the golden-haired male's hand and the Nether God's Spear in Shi Jian's hand collided, erupting in bundle after bundle of light. Each strike almost overturned the sky. All kinds of runes manifested, with sounds like a mountain collapsing and a sea roaring.
This was a True God-level battle! Countless Primordial and other Divine Rank strong cultivators fell into a rare silence. Shi Jian's strength was too terrifying.
The Upper Realm's Three Thousand Dao States were vast and boundless, and unparalleled Geniuses emerged in droves. Countless Primordials and countless Legacy holders of great sects used to be incredibly arrogant, invincible among their peers.
But now, their arrogance became worthless. What if they were invincible in the same Realm? What if they could even cross Realms to fight Divine Flame strong cultivators? Shi Jian shattered all their pride.
Fighting a True God with the Array Realm... Although Shi Jian was using the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength to contend, his cultivation was undoubtedly at the Array Realm. Countless people were so shocked they couldn't speak. Since Shi was born, why were they born?
"So strong!" The Witch looked at the figure battling fiercely in the Void Realm. Her eyes erupted with unprecedented light. She had tested Shi Jian's strength many times but could not fully grasp its extent.
This was the first time she had seen him unleash his full power. It was too terrifying, able to rival a True God. Unrestrained and powerful. No wonder he dared to take such a name. With such an invincible demeanor, even a True God could not restrain him. Who could be his enemy among those of the same Realm? It was simply heart-stopping.
"There is also a gap between True Gods and True Gods!" Shi Jian was also somewhat surprised. The strength of this golden-haired male was too terrifying. Just his Physical Body was incredibly powerful, like a Humanoid True Dragon with an immortal body.
This was completely different from the True One strong cultivator he had slain in that black prison before, who was injured and did not unleash too much power, instead borrowing the power of a scepter and a Formation.
Now, this golden-haired male was terrifyingly powerful. His Physical Body and runes worked together, and Shi Jian's arm was almost numb from the shock.
Shi Jian was surprised, but the golden-haired male was even more surprised. As a True God, holding a terrifying Magical Artifact and unleashing his full power, he was temporarily unable to take down Shi Jian.
The two quickly collided in the Void Realm, constantly engaging. Suddenly, after a series of clashes, the golden-haired male's long spear changed direction, emitting a dazzling light, and sliced down.
Shi Jian used the Nether God's Spear to block, but it shattered with a boom. The long spear flashed past, a dark, starry light bloomed, and it pierced through Shi Jian's neck.
"The great fiend of sinful blood has fallen..."
"His weapon was shattered..."
"He was pierced by the True God's long spear... The outcome has been decided!"
Upon seeing this, someone couldn't help but cry out in alarm. It was too swift. Shi Jian's spear shattered, and then his neck was pierced. Gorgeous blood bloomed. This was the blood of the young Devil King! This great fiend of sinful blood was finally defeated. Countless people were excited.
The Witch's heart tightened. Meng Qi, Yang Qi, and others were also watching, but there was no worried expression on their faces. They knew Liu Shen was with Shi Jian. If he truly encountered a life-or-death crisis, Liu Shen would definitely take action.
Not to mention, the chat group had the power contract function. The fact that Shi Jian did not borrow power meant that the True God's attack was not enough to kill him.
Sure enough, when the crimson light dissipated, the figure appeared. His head had not fallen off. Blood was gushing from his neck, and as it dripped onto the ground, it formed a blood-colored long spear.
The spear was slowly grasped in Shi Jian's hand. Infused with his own blood, it was even more powerful than a normally condensed Nether God's Spear. It almost transformed from illusory to solid.
Shi Jian twisted his neck, and the wound on his throat instantly healed. In the blink of an eye, his Aura returned to its Peak. With the Dominator's Physical Body, Five Emperors True Body, and Nethergod Guard present, it was already the limit for the golden-haired male to injure him by surprise. To try to kill him was wishful thinking.
"This is the first time I've bled... To injure me, you have enough to be proud of!" The blood-red Nether God's Spear swept across the sky as Shi Jian spoke slowly.
The golden-haired male and the other Primordials stared at him with extreme surprise. This terrifying recovery ability—able to fight, endure, and recover—made him seem unbeatable.
"It seems I truly underestimated you... Blood Fiend, stop hiding. Let's work together to fully encircle and kill him!" The golden-haired male spoke solemnly. "If he is not eliminated today, he will surely become a great threat in the future."
As soon as his words fell, Shi Jian looked towards a certain spot, and a figure manifested. Another True God! Two True Gods intended to join forces to encircle and kill Shi Jian.
Just then, a voice also sounded: "Do you take us for dead men...?" Yang Qi, holding the Nether God's Spear, slowly walked over.
