The Era of Gods

At the same time, he spent a whole two million Faith value to bestow an enhancement BUFF on all the Naga, making them immune to the gravitational rules of the Sanctuary and greatly increasing their resistance to negative mental states such as fear, hypnosis, and more.

Yan Renjie and Wan Ying also silently blessed their subordinates. They had absolutely no interest in exchanging pointless words with the Snake People Demigod; they were already getting ready to make their move.

He had been uncertain before, but the Demigod’s blustering roars now convinced him that the current state of the Snake People Demigod was definitely very poor.

For a Demigod, having all one’s followers killed by an enemy and one’s Sanctuary invaded to kill all the Prayers is an irreconcilable blood feud that can only end in death.

If Lin Xiao were in the Snake People Demigod’s position and had any spare strength or assurance, he would decisively strike and kill all the enemies that had invaded his Sanctuary.

The performance of the Snake People Demigod confirmed to him that it was time to act.

Without any hesitation and after the BUFF was finished, hordes of Fishman Cannon Fodder surged forward and surrounded the Divine Palace. The Giant Clam guarding the entrance of the Divine Palace had been eager for battle; it inflated its cheeks and let out a furious roar. The powerful burst of force was like a tremendous air cannon, blasting the ground to crater nearly two meters deep within a hundred meters in front of it, and the Fishmen caught within it exploded into a mist of blood on the spot.

Under the Sanctuary Rules and the amplification of Divine Power, this Giant Clam was even more fearsome than it had been in life.

But its enemies were not only the Fishmen; there were also nearly two thousand archers. In particular, the Magma Armor-Piercing Talent of the Lava Lizardmen ensured that thousands of red-hot arrowheads shot out almost instantly, hitting the Giant Clam precisely, leaving it covered in arrows like a porcupine.

The three of them had yet to make a move; they simply hovered in mid-air, coldly watching wave after wave of arrow rain descend from the sky, and… the slowly rising powerful aura from within the Divine Palace.

The Snake People Demigod, who had been sleeping and healing inside the Divine Palace, was about to wake up.

Lin Xiao looked up at the increasingly thick blood clouds on the dome of the Sanctuary; they boiled like oil in a raging frying pan, signifying the extreme wrath of the Snake People Demigod.

Taking a deep breath, he said in a low voice to Yan Renjie and Wan Ying,

“One cannot be careless when facing a Demigod. 1 will use my big move as soon as we start. You two should also be prepared.”

The two of them nodded gravely.

They too were facing an enraged Demigod for the first time, and the ever-increasing aura and pressure forced them to be fully alert.

“Boom!”

Just when the aura and pressure in the Divine Palace reached a certain threshold, the Giant Clam, which had been pierced full of arrows like a porcupine, suddenly leaped hundreds of meters into the air and ferociously bit at the three people in mid -air.

Yan Renjie and Wan Ying instinctively moved horizontally to the left and right, but in that moment, Lin Xiao’s pupils sharply contracted as he bellowed,

“Block it forme!”

With a thought, an entire ten million Faith value burned to form a layer of pale golden flames that enveloped his whole body, making him appear to be on fire from a distance.

He reached out with an open hand and the flames quickly converged into his right hand, solidifying into a ten-meter long spear made of pure gold and glowing intensely, which he then hurled fiercely towards the distant Divine Palace.

The Golden Divine Spear, with ten million Faith value burned for its intense concentration, contained a terrifying might. Even the Giant Clam, with its mouth wide open lunging towards the sky, paused subconsciously. The blood flames in the distant Divine Palace suddenly surged, enveloping the entire Palace. With a shout, a two-meter long Pure Gold Finger slowly extended from the blood flames.

“Ding!”

Accompanied by the crisp, soul-shaking clash of metal, a pure gold spear had appeared out of thin air at the tip of the Golden Finger, only to hold its ground for a mere o.oi seconds before it began to crumble inch by inch, as the spear slowly advanced, turning into countless fragments that scattered to the ground.

Then, the pure gold spear, which had somehow reduced in size, brutally penetrated the Golden Finger and plunged deeply into the Divine Palace engulfed by a sky of blood flames.

“Boom!”

It was like billions of tons of explosives detonating, the endless blood flames surged like tides, exploding into a ring of blood fire that blasted violently in all directions, covering most of the Sanctuary.

The Fishmen within the range of the blood flames, especially those who were already wounded, involuntarily bled from their wounds in the midst of the blood fire. The larger the wound, the more severe the bleeding, with severely injured Fishmen succumbing within mere seconds.

However, at this moment, Lin Xiao paid no attention to this, his gaze intently fixed on the Divine Palace shrouded in blood flames, where a powerful presence filled with wrath and resentment stood tall within.

As the blood flames slowly receded, that powerful presence also began to reveal its true form.

Rising slowly from within the Divine Palace was a Snake People Demigod that appeared even more powerful than before, with a towering stature over thirty meters high, dark golden scales etched with mysterious patterns, a handsome face that radiated an intense sense of wickedness, vertical pupils that blazed with rich golden flames, and atop the head, a crested gold crown of flesh instead of hair.

The figure differed slightly from the True Body seen outside the Sanctuary, appearing more evil and dangerous.

He swept a glance filled with voracious intent over the three Divine Beings before his gaze settled on Lin Xiao, slowly extending his hand—missing the index finger—toward him, he spoke in a hoarse, deep voice,

“Dare to enter the domain of Half-God Gras, you are seeking your own death!”

The ten million Faith value that had turned into a spear and shattered was not only the finger of the Snake People Demigod; such a huge consumption could not have merely destroyed a finger. It also dealt a significant blow to the remaining Divine Power of the Snake People Demigod.

Even before Half-God Gras could finish speaking, Lin Xiao sensed something, suddenly extending his hand and pointing his golden fingertip into the Void, where a burst of golden light exploded, illuminating a transparent, serpentine shadow.

With a forceful grasp of his five fingers, he crushed the transparent serpentine shadow into oblivion.

“That’s all?”

He looked toward the distant Snake People Demigod with undeniable scorn on his face.

It wasn’t just a feeling that he had sensed something; the moment the Demigod pointed his hand at him, Lin Xiao instinctively reacted with extreme vigilance.

Although a Demigod wasn’t a True God, the term still contained ‘God’, and even in a weakened state, a god posed an extreme danger. Lin Xiao had to be cautious with every move he made.

From this brief exchange, Lin Xiao was sure that the state of the Snake People Demigod had truly plummeted to the limit. Although it wasn’t outwardly obvious that he had been poisoned, the fact that a Demigod would resort to a sneak attack against several Divine Beings showed that the Snake People Demigod no longer had the confidence to confront them head-on.

Realizing this, Lin Xiao exchanged glances with Yan Renjie and Wan Ying and commanded,

“Attack!”

With a thought, Lin Xiao expended a total of six million Faith value, his right hand materializing a Divine Power spear from a mist of gold, his left hand coalescing into a Divine Power Shield. Meanwhile, Yan Renjie and Wan Ying also did not hesitate to use a substantial amount of Faith value to summon their own Divine Power weapons, and all three charged together towards the Snake People Demigod above the Divine Palace..
