Chapter 985: Slaughtering the God

Ye Fan traveled west, forcefully entering the Holy City. The divine race, which had been dormant there, finally appeared, immediately causing a tremendous uproar. The area was filled with deafening noise, and many people were praying.

In the sky, a powerful being radiated divine light that permeated every inch of space, like mercury spreading everywhere.

"There truly are strong individuals in the West," Ye Fan murmured, instructing his disciples to retreat to avoid being affected.

"Dong!" A resounding, bell-like wave of sound rippled forth, purifying people's souls. It resonated endlessly, carrying far and wide, clear and immense.

A scorching, powerful light rushed forward. The ancient divine being did not move, but a woman with four pairs of divine wings on her back and a divine halo behind her head appeared. Her beauty was almost bewitching, and she immediately launched an attack.

"A divine emissary has appeared, to enforce the will of the gods! The demon general from the Central Lands will be purified and erased from existence.""This is an archangel! Such emissaries were renowned in ancient times. Who would have thought one would still appear in this era?"

Among the three major religions, even the observing cultivators were astonished, followed by deep reverence. Legend had it that a single archangel could sweep away all opposition in a region.

Ye Fan showed no fear as she charged. He realized that the girl riding the unicorn whom he had encountered upon entering the city had been possessed by her. Now, her true form had finally appeared.

"So-called divine emissaries are just ancient races," he murmured to himself, immediately connecting many dots. Powerful beings from beyond the domain had descended for the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains in ancient times; this was likely one of those races from back then.

"In the name of God, I act to incinerate your defiled soul. Repent and reform!" the archangel shouted. Her body glowed with vibrant light, and as her four pairs of divine wings flapped, they created ripples that transformed into mystical patterns.

"God? To you, I am God!" Ye Fan said coldly. "Are you speaking in my name? I've killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, primeval creatures in the Beidou region. And you think you can impress me?"

"Disrespect for God! I grant you destruction!" The beautiful archangel attacked, her entire body enveloped by a divine halo. Her four pairs of divine wings flapped, causing heaven and earth to crumble. The very sky fractured as a surge of murderous laws burst forth, forming a heavenly sword that struck towards Ye Fan.

Her magical power was like a vast, surging sea. Many people in Jerusalem trembled, unable to resist kneeling. In this era, such powerful beings were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

"Divine power! This is invincible divine power! No one can defy the will of God!" people cried out in alarm, many making the sign of the cross.

"Indeed, not weak, but it depends on who you're comparing yourself to," Ye Fan said. "If you want to kill me, you'll need another three thousand years of cultivation." He brought his fingers together, invoking a sword art, and a wave of golden sword energy surged out like a vast sea.

"Puff!" All the mystical patterns created by the archangel's divine wings shattered. The golden sword sea surged forward, and a powerful, scorching sword light flashed, instantly bisecting her. Blood poured out, staining the sky red.

"What? The divine emissary's body was severed! How can this demon be so powerful?" Everyone in Jerusalem felt a chill from head to toe. They had been cheering just moments before, but in the blink of an eye, a cold dread permeated their very bones, and their hairs stood on end.

In the sky, fresh blood surged upward. The bisected archangel let out a long cry, and her two severed halves rejoined. A divine light flashed, and she was restored to her original state.

"This is the power of God! Indestructible through a thousand calamities, immortal through a hundred ages!" Some cheered, their spirits soaring. It was clear their minds were completely captivated.

However, the archangel herself had an ashen face, terrified. She knew she was in great trouble; the person before her was unfathomable, and she was no match.

She opened her mouth and spat out an ancient scroll, which transformed into a landscape painting that enveloped Ye Fan. This was a forbidden artifact, an ancient relic; once enveloped within it, everything would dissolve.

"What is this supposed to be? A minor trick," Ye Fan murmured. "I just gave you a lesson, yet you remain stubborn. Very well, I'll send you to meet your ancestors!" He made small gestures with his hands, activating the 'Soldier' character secret art. The ancient scroll swiftly accelerated towards him, rapidly shrinking to an inch in length before landing in his palm. Then, with a flick of his hand, he tossed it to one of his disciples. The powerful ancient relic quickly changed hands.

"Puff!" At the same time, Ye Fan made a slicing motion with his hand. A bloody gash opened from the archangel's glabella, extending downwards, and her body split vertically into two halves with a bang. She died instantly.

"God-slaying! He killed the divine emissary with his bare hands!""The demon killed God's emissary! Why? This is an unforgivable sin!"

A great uproar broke out among the crowd. Except for the older cultivators, whose eyes flashed with wisdom but remained silent, the younger cultivators found it difficult to accept this outcome. They felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had caved in, their world turning bleak.

"So, you are the so-called divine race?" Ye Fan flew into the high sky, confronting the person radiating divine light. This was definitely a member of an ancient royal family, though not an Ancestral King.

He had a vertical eye in his glabella, and his golden hair was wild and unbound. He wore metallic battle armor that shimmered with a dreamlike radiance—armor left by an ancient king.A King who had severed the Dao!

It had been a long time since he returned to Earth, and Ye Fan had finally encountered an opponent. This was a Dao-Slayer, a living being with an extraordinary bloodline.

"I am merely the weakest among many divine beings. Human, do you intend to defy God?"

This person looked young, only in his twenties, but his eyes held an ancient, weathered look. Clearly, he had lived for a very long time, his age measured in millennia.

"These words might scare others, but they mean nothing to me," Ye Fan said indifferently. "I have returned from beyond this domain, and I've killed many ancient races. Do you still intend to lord over me and be a god?"

"So, you insist on opposing God," the divine race expert said. "No one in this world can save you now."

Ye Fan sneered, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, the so-called powerful divine beings all left in ancient times. Only you are left, posing no threat to me!"

"You will never understand the realm of God!" the divine race expert roared. "You lowly ant, kneel down and repent your sins!"

His vertical eye burst forth with ripples that rapidly spread outwards, carrying a powerful mental energy that could sway people's minds and force them to submit.

Ye Fan immediately let out a soft cry, like a bolt of lightning across a clear sky, which instantly silenced the demonic sound. Many people kneeling on the ground were also stunned, not understanding why.

"You think such a minor illusionary technique can be used on me?" Ye Fan scoffed. "I've even killed descendants of your ancient emperors. What if you've severed the Dao?!"

Ye Fan stepped forward, taking the initiative to attack. He dared not be careless when facing such a powerful individual. This was an ancient race, and before completely withering after severing the Dao, they likely possessed extraordinary means.

"Divine glory! Blasphemers shall die!"

The divine race expert lightly shouted, then spat out a dazzling light that transformed into a divine rainbow, inscribed with various runes, and rushed towards Ye Fan.

This was the so-called 'words become law, actions become rules'. A word from a god became law, capable of killing people invisibly. If one was not careful, they would surely fall victim.

Ye Fan parried with his hand, producing a sharp ringing sound. The divine rainbow shattered like crystalline glass, exploding into an energy storm. The battle between the two truly began.

"Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun!" The divine expert's vertical eye shone brilliantly, shooting out a beam of light several miles long, accompanied by the roar of the Heavenly Dao. This was the innate divine ability of his race, resonating with the Dao.

Ye Fan formed the Mountain Embracing Seal with his left hand, conjuring a black mountain that instantly shattered the beam of light. Its brilliance, in that instant, transformed into utter darkness.

"Boom!" The divine race expert charged forward, holy light surging from his body as if he were ablaze, emitting dazzling light. It illuminated heaven and earth, filling every inch of space with holy power.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Fan's mouth. So-called gods had finally resorted to fists, no longer able to remain aloof. He transformed into a scorching golden light and met the charge. Forming the True Dragon Seal with his hand, he immediately caused the high heavens to rumble and collapse.

The two were hundreds of feet apart when their immense forces collided in a monstrous clash of magical power. Ye Fan's physical body swiftly moved through the storm area as the True Dragon Seal manifested, transforming into a massive azure dragon that soared forth.

"Puff!" The divine race expert coughed up a mouthful of silver-white blood that radiated holy light. His body was struck as if by lightning, and he flew horizontally for a thousand feet.

Below, the many cultivators fell silent. At the first exchange, the god suffered a minor setback, blood splattering across the sky. This was not a good omen.

"A demon from the Central Lands appears." Would this ancient warning now become a nightmare? He could contend with a god; who in this era could rival him, who could subdue him?

"Such cultivation, without even having severed the Dao..." the divine race expert murmured to himself. He knew he was in great trouble and that the slightest carelessness would lead to his defeat.

"So, you've finally stopped pretending to be a god?" Ye Fan said. "Hand over your ancestral artifact. Keep being your god, or today you will bleed all over the Holy City."

The divine race expert calmed his mind. He took out an ancient talisman, suspended it above his head, and softly chanted a spell. A colossal body merged with him, standing majestically like an ancient war god!

"Human, prostrate yourself at my feet, offer piety and reverence, and I shall absolve you of your sins," a colossal roar shook heaven and earth.

This was a giant, entirely manifested by that ancient talisman, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance. It shook Jerusalem, causing it to tremble, and massive cracks to open in the high sky.

The ancient talisman was very special; it seemed to have conjured a body for him out of thin air. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that it was woven from laws and Dao patterns, like a body of light.

The divine being resided within the head of this colossal battle body, as if he had donned a massive suit of armor, his physical power reaching an extreme.

This was a secret treasure of his race. By activating the ancient talisman, one could temporarily possess the physical strength of their ancient ancestors, using it to sweep away all opposition.

The divine being activated the ancient talisman, taking control of this powerful battle body. It cleaved open space, and with chaotic energy surging like Pangu creating heaven and earth, it strode forward in a single step, instantly striking at Ye Fan.

"Boom!" The war god body brought down a palm, shattering the vacuum and burying Ye Fan in a torrent of energy. Its power was unparalleled in the world.

However, when everything quieted down, Ye Fan stood unharmed in the distance, not having been hit. He said coldly, "It's not a true ancestral body; it's just a light construct woven from runes. It's nothing special."

After he finished speaking, he actively charged forward to meet the attack. The two engaged in a great battle, colliding and producing streaks of dazzling light that illuminated the Holy City.

Ye Fan used the Mountain Embracing Seal with his left hand, continuously clashing with the opponent. With his right hand, he suddenly unleashed the Human King Seal, instantly sending the opponent flying several thousand feet away.

People were shocked. The height difference between the two was immense, yet Ye Fan could send the war god body flying. His immense power left people incredulous.

"This ancient talisman is indeed a treasure; it was likely personally refined by a half-saint," Ye Fan murmured to himself.

At this moment, he unleashed his full power with merciless attacks, relentlessly fighting against this Dao-Slaying King. The True Dragon Seal struck out, leaving a terrifying palm print on the colossal body, almost piercing through it.

"Bang!" Then, the Human King Seal was unleashed, directly shattering the war god body. The ancient talisman suspended above the divine being's head cracked with a crisp sound and turned into dust.

"So, even a god is nothing more than this!"

Ye Fan used the 'Travel' character secret art and charged forward. His right hand transformed into the Heaven-Overturning Seal, striking down like a massive golden disc. It was densely covered with countless runes, boundless and terrifying.

"Puff!" The god was shattered, turning into a rain of blood in the sky that fell over the Holy City of Jerusalem—a horrifying sight!

"God... was killed!" People's faces turned pale with fright; they were completely stunned.
