C2301 The Joint Attack of the Gods

The Eleventh Level Golden Dragon truly ranked among the most formidable vicious creatures in existence. Once its heart had been transmuted into pure gold, not even the flesh and blood that terrorized the Desolate Realm, consuming Starfield after Starfield, could affect it. Impervious to both water and fire, only beings like the Great Demon God Beilstein or an Origin Soul could deal a severe blow to its dragon soul.

The Snail God Kuna's elongated body was ripped asunder, bleeding profusely. Over time, her blood pooled into vibrant rivers and lakes around her centipede-like form. The stench of Kuna's blood was so acrid it seemed capable of corroding one's very heart.

"Essence of blood," Yu Yuan murmured, his thoughts stirring as he extended his hand towards a vicious bloodstain on Kuna's neck. Channeling the power of the Yang God, he drew forth the essence beneath the bloodstain, and a stream of vivid, colorful flesh and blood essence cascaded into his palm like threads of silk.

The instant Kuna's essence touched his palm, Yu Yuan's smile turned to a grimace. The essence, originating from the Snail God, still harbored a potent toxin. It began corroding his palm as if it were being eaten away by sulfuric acid, and amidst this decay, he discerned numerous Great Dao Laws linked to the venom.

Yet, his palm continued to deteriorate. To peer into the Dao Laws governed by the Snail God Kuna with his Yang God form, he had no choice but to make direct physical contact. All defenses—ice, golden light, stone—had to be abandoned in the face of Kuna's might. Just as Loong Jie could counter Kuna, and lightning could obliterate a Devaputra, Kuna's power was the antithesis to his Yang God form. To grasp the intricacies of Kuna's Great Dao, contamination by her toxic force was inevitable.

He then realized that as he used his Yang God to analyze Kuna's power, and as his palm suffered the corrosion, Kuna's body, previously mangled by Loong Jie's grasp, began to mend once more. Through the decay of his Yang God, Kuna was drawing new strength.

"Enough," Yu Yuan conceded, resigning himself from the futile attempt to understand Kuna's toxic Dao. "Sister Yuan, use the flames to consume it, and stay on the Dragon Slash Platform."

His voice echoed suddenly within the Dragon Slash Platform.

Yuan Lianyao, already brimming with anticipation, unexpectedly gained partial control over this astonishing Artifact within the Dragon Slash Platform. Her refined flames appeared as though they could penetrate the platform itself.

Without hesitation, she began her attempt.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Seven tumultuous rivers of flame, akin to roaring fiery dragons, burst forth from Yuan Lianyao's sleeves.

The interior of the Dragon Slash Platform was instantly transformed into the most scorching environment imaginable, rivaling even the hottest regions of the Ashes Starfield.

One after another, the fiery dragons soared out of the Dragon Slash Platform, working in tandem with Loong Jie to set ablaze the Snail God Kuna's serpentine form.

Yuan Lianyao's meticulously refined flames poured from Kuna's wounds, charring the Snail God's limbs to a crisp.

She writhed in agony, desperately flailing in an attempt to flee back to her domain, the Muddy Domain.

The sight of Loong Jie amidst the flames of the Dragon Slash Platform struck fear into her heart, compelling her to avoid further peril.

With a mighty surge, the Dragon Slash Platform, obstructing the Destruction Spring, became engulfed in a massive fireball. The flames, capable of annihilating all in their path, prevented her from drawing any closer.

The Dragon Slash Platform, ablaze with surging flames, divided into even more torrents of fire, all converging on the Snail God.

Remarkably, the flames unleashed by Yuan Lianyao did not interfere with Loong Jie's actions.

Amidst the intense flames, Loong Jie moved with ease, continuing to rend the Snail God's flesh.

Yuan Lianyao remained unseen on the Dragon Slash Platform, yet the flames she channeled intensified the Snail God's injuries, compounding her suffering.

Together, Loong Jie shattered her form, Yu Yuan thwarted her healing, and Yuan Lianyao scorched her flesh. Their combined might instilled fear and despair in the foreign deity.

Below, the Destruction God Galuba, unable to rotate the Destruction Plate and his eight arms dripping with blood, was locked in a deadly struggle with the Great Demon God Beilstein.

The Destruction Plate alternated between a shield and a solid iron slab, either parrying the golden spear or crashing down upon Beilstein's demonic form.

Clang! Clang!

The old devil's body, akin to purple crystal, overflowed with flames after being struck by the Destruction Plate.

Even the formidable Great Demon God Beilstein, whose Devil Soul inhabited his devilish form, showed cracks after the relentless pounding from the Destruction Plate.

The Great Demon God, though grimacing, maintained an incredibly high fighting spirit, laughing maniacally.

For countless years, he hadn't encountered an adversary who could engage him in such an exhilarating battle. Neither Lin Daoke nor Tan Xiaotian could match the fervor of his fights with the Destruction God, Galuba.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Brilliant golden lightning, along with intense flames, scored bloody, charred wounds across Galuba's slender limbs.

The golden spear, significantly enhanced by Loong Jie's arrival and Yuan Lianyao's fiery power, was formidable indeed.

Originally the Golden Dragon Armor, and before that, the Flowing Flames of the pill furnace, it truly embodied the essence of gold and fire.

At the Eleventh Level, Loong Jie and Yuan Lianyao mastered the elements of gold and fire, respectively. Their willingness to lend some power to the old devil naturally made the golden spear immensely powerful.

"Galuba, oh Galuba, I can hardly bring myself to kill you. I'd relish the chance to battle you longer."

"Alas, it's unfortunate that the Origin Soul is nearing, and that peculiar piece of flesh is en route. What a dilemma."

"Galuba, once you're dead, I'll extract the memories from your soul. I'll learn all about the gods in your world and their composition."

"Rest assured, I will remember you, Galuba."

"..."

Amidst the battle, the old devil incessantly taunted and tormented the Destruction God with his words and demonic voice.

Galuba's mind was besieged by the cacophony, pushing the Destruction God to the brink of collapse.

Whoosh!

The Secular Bird Queen suddenly manifested her true form, revealing her majestic presence.

Two Chen Qinghuangs materialized within the Destruction Flame, one with three heads and six arms, exuding a sacred aura as if she were a deity revered by the denizens of the Origin Realm.

Her three visages were each a symbol of death, destruction, and venom. Rebirth, however, was a concept she had utterly forsaken.

Branches entwined around her waist, resembling a bird's nest, and she donned a crown of thorns that concealed the true essence of death.

A massive greenish-gray Divine Bird soared above her, its presence heavy with the scent of mortality.

This gargantuan Divine Bird abruptly dove at Galuba, the Destruction God, joining forces with Beilstein to bring about his demise.

Chen Qinghuang, with her three heads and six arms, exuded a grave and majestic aura as she approached Kuna, the Snail God.

Engulfed in towering flames, she boldly advanced on Kuna amidst streaks of golden lightning.

Kuna, who bore the scars of torment inflicted by Yu Yuan, Loong Jie, and Yuan Lianyao, gazed at the sudden appearance of Chen Qinghuang with clouded eyes.

Before Kuna, her first pair of hooked feet instinctively lunged at Chen Qinghuang.

Snap!

The hooked feet were effortlessly snapped by the formidable Chen Qinghuang, with her trio of heads and half-dozen arms.

Grasping the broken limbs, a flicker of delight crossed her eyes. With the face that wielded the power of toxins, she exhaled a mist of blood toward Kuna.

Within the mist, the essences of destruction, death, and poison intertwined.

The mist shrouded the Snail God's visage, seeping into Kuna's brain through her nostrils, ears, eyes, and mouth.

The Snail God, Kuna, became disoriented amidst the haze.

Seizing the moment, Chen Qinghuang stepped closer and ruthlessly ripped off Kuna's hefty earlobes.

Stripped of her hooked feet and ears, Kuna's vitality seemed to drain away, leaving her listless and deflated.

Chen Qinghuang appeared to have a keen understanding of Kuna's vulnerabilities, striking with precision at her weak points. The damage she inflicted was seemingly more devastating than that of Loong Jie and Yuan Lianyao.

"Enough, stop the flames, and cease the tearing; she can no longer flee," Chen Qinghuang commanded.

At her behest, Loong Jie and Yuan Lianyao, from within the Dragon Slash Platform, halted their assault.

Kuna, the Snail God, was scorched black all over. She gazed hollowly at Chen Qinghuang, teetering on the brink of death. The blood mist expelled by Chen Qinghuang was consuming the most profound memories of toxic power within the mind of this foreign deity, and the bizarre laws she governed were being rapidly stripped away.

"You are truly the most vicious and vile one," she said to Chen Qinghuang, her voice weak.

Chen Qinghuang paid her no heed. As her three-headed, six-armed form continued to strip Kuna of her dominion over the poison's essence, the ashen Divine Bird, radiating an aura of death, was still aiding Beilstein in delivering fatal blows to Galuba.

The Divine Bird's soft cry transformed into a multitude of lightning bolts that struck Galuba's body. Its wings, sharp as blades, executed a graceful slash that severed one of Galuba's arms.

With a sudden flourish of its wings, the severed limb soared past the flames of destruction and through the thick miasmic smoke, heading straight for Yu Yuan's Yang God.

"The blood and flesh of Galuba can be directly absorbed by you without any risk of contamination," Chen Qinghuang finally addressed Yu Yuan, her three heads and six arms poised.

"As for the Snail God Kuna, the laws of power she wields cannot be assimilated through your Yang God."

After a moment's contemplation, Chen Qinghuang added, "I will inscribe a copy of the Snail God's toxic secrets for you once I've deciphered them. And I'll do the same with the Destruction God's knowledge."

Yu Yuan was taken aback by her words.

"What about us?" Loong Jie interjected loudly, his tone laced with dissatisfaction. "We've contributed too. Fair's fair; we shouldn't end up empty-handed."

Chen Qinghuang's brow furrowed as she replied icily, "You should take that up with Yu Yuan."

At the mention of Yu Yuan, Loong Jie forced a dry laugh, refraining from pressing the issue further and instead fell silent.

At that moment, the Dragon Slash Platform had sealed the Destruction Spring, ensuring that neither Galuba nor Kuna could flee. Loong Jie, Yuan Lianyao, Beilstein, and Chen Qinghuang all exerted their full power, and with Yu Yuan's Yang God regulating the flesh and blood, these two deities from foreign lands were fated to meet their end here.

"Everyone, let's get this taken care of quickly."

Yu Yuan, confident that there would be no further surprises, left the Dragon Slash Platform behind and soared away in his Yang God form.

Loong Jie called out, "Where are you headed?"

"I'm off to intercept one of them; the god and that chunk of flesh are en route," Yu Yuan responded. "You all need to swiftly dispose of the remains of the two foreign deities. And Barol and Lvliu, with their abundant life force, should stay put for now."

"Alright, understood," Loong Jie replied nonchalantly.
