Chapter 1687 Battle with the Ancient God of Great Xia
Lin Qiye’s gaze constantly assessed the divine shepherd before him, confusion appearing in his eyes.
Outside the barrier, he had sensed a terrifying fluctuation of energy. He had intended to enter and see if this main deity presiding over the Great Three Halls was a familiar face from his memories, but the person before him was completely unfamiliar.
Lin Qiye couldn’t recall such a deity in the future Heavenly Court.
“It’s Wood God Gumang!” Jialan exclaimed upon seeing the shepherd, “He’s a Heavenly Court deity who was previously invited by the Queen to visit Yaopool… This is a misunderstanding!”
“A misunderstanding…”
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes as he stared at the ox-riding shepherd and calmly said, “I’m afraid not.”
“There’s almost no causality on him… This isn’t Wood God Gumang, but a copied counterfeit.”
Hearing these words, Jialan froze in place.
How could a counterfeit enter the barrier? And under whose Queen Mother’s orders?
“A barrier set by the Western Queen Mother can also be opened by a counterfeit Western Queen Mother. It seems the real Queen is in danger,” Lin Qiye gripped the Amenomurakumo sword and spoke softly.
A roaring lightning dragon descended from the sky, transforming into a spear in Huo Qubing’s hand. He slowly walked to Lin Qiye’s side, his black and gold marquis robe swaying gently in the dust, with terrifying battle intent soaring to the clouds!
“Then let’s kill this counterfeit and go save the real Western Queen Mother.”
Sensing the aura emanating from Lin Qiye and Huo Qubing, the shepherd on the ox frowned slightly and spoke with surprise:
“Not gods, but mortals… When did the human world produce such powerful beings?”
Boom——!!
Before Gumang could finish speaking, Lin Qiye stomped the ground fiercely, creating a huge crater, and using the force to instantly flash before him. A blade of sword light rapidly expanded before Gumang’s eyes!
Gumang’s gaze focused as he raised the grass whip in his hand, which instantly extended several meters, slithering like a snake toward the hilt of the Amenomurakumo sword!
Lin Qiye countered with a flourish of his sword, cutting the end of the grass whip into pieces. Just as the sword’s edge touched Gumang’s throat, the latter suddenly transformed into a lifelike wooden carving, easily cut into two pieces.
“Be careful,” Huo Qubing’s voice came from behind.
Lin Qiye sensed something was wrong and immediately twisted his body to look down. He saw the blue ox beneath the wooden carving rapidly expanding, with hundreds of wooden hands growing from the ox’s back, reaching for Lin Qiye’s body in mid-air.
Flashing sword light cut through numerous wooden hands, with flying fragments obscuring the sky. At that moment, the scattered wooden chips rapidly condensed, forming a ferocious ox head that violently bit into Lin Qiye’s back.
Fresh blood seeped from Lin Qiye’s wound, but it couldn’t penetrate his body completely. He frowned, and with the arm caught in the ox head’s mouth, he grabbed its jaw, while his other hand dug into its eye. Surging power rolled forth as he forcefully tore the ox head in half!
Lin Qiye’s figure landed on the ground, but before he could steady himself, a green light appeared behind him.
The shepherd, holding his grass whip with a solemn expression, lightly pressed his right hand toward Lin Qiye’s shoulder!
As that childlike palm touched Lin Qiye’s skin, a green light penetrated into his body, but with a flash of radiance, those green lights all disappeared without a trace.
The shepherd froze in place:
“Primordial Spirit Body?! How is this possible?!”
Lin Qiye’s gaze sharpened as a thread of causality followed that palm into the shepherd’s body. He spoke in a deep voice:
“I return my wound to you.”
Bang——!!
The shepherd’s back suddenly burst with several bloody wounds, as if bitten by some wild beast. At the same time, the wound left on Lin Qiye by the ox head completely disappeared.
Under the power of [Predetermined Outcome], Lin Qiye transferred the “outcome” of his injury through that thread to the shepherd’s body.
Simultaneously, a roaring lightning dragon broke through the air. The shepherd frowned, about to dodge, but was locked in place by Lin Qiye’s hand!
The next moment, surging lightning engulfed both Lin Qiye and the shepherd. A spear light pierced through the shepherd’s back, stopping abruptly in mid-air just before it could pierce Lin Qiye’s chest!
Puff——!
The shepherd spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.
He looked down at his chest to see a hideous bloody hole that had torn through his heart. Half of his body had been blasted away by Huo Qubing’s attack, but as strands of green light circulated within his body, he was regenerating at an astonishing speed.
As the spring wood deity who governed the growth of all things, his vitality was incredibly abundant, and his healing speed was even faster than An Qingyu’s!
“Zhurong! What are you waiting for?” the shepherd roared.
Lin Qiye’s eyes contracted slightly, and then, as if sensing something, his form transformed into a rainbow of light, rapidly retreating!
Crackle——!
The flying wooden chips simultaneously ignited, and the dancing flames gathered together, vaguely outlining the figure of a tall man.
“Primordial Spirit Body… how could it be here?” Zhurong, who walked out from the flames, frowned as he looked at Lin Qiye, his eyes full of confusion.
“This is bad, there was another deity hiding here?” Zhan Yuwu’s expression immediately became grave upon seeing this.
Spring Wood God Gumang and Summer Fire God Zhurong stood side by side on the steps before the Cinnabar Hall. The auras of the two main deities overlapped, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Indeed, the Great Xia gods of this era are very different from the future… Lin Qiye thought to himself as he looked at these two unfamiliar divine figures.
“Is he fake too?” Huo Qubing asked.
“Yes.”
“Perfect, one for each of us.”
“Face a main deity alone? Can your current body handle it?”
“No problem, I’m here too!” Red-haired Chloe walked to Huo Qubing’s side, patting her shoulder, “I’m the Western divine friendly exchange ambassador, fighting alongside you!”
“Then Zhurong is yours, and Gumang can rapidly regenerate, which is countered by my Amenomurakumo sword, so I’ll take him.”
“We don’t have divine laws, can we kill them?”
“Let’s try.”
“Alright.”
The auras of the three human pinnacles—Lin Qiye, Huo Qubing, and Chloe—erupted violently, colliding with the two main deities on the steps. A visible shockwave of aftermath swept in all directions!
With the sound of a sword cry echoing to the clouds, the five figures instantly clashed together!
Boom——!!
Hot gusts of wind swept across the faces of Wu Quan and the others, forcing them to retreat uncontrollably. Not yet at the human pinnacle, they could hardly withstand the aftershocks of the divine battle.
“There’s a sturdy barrier inside the hall, quickly take shelter inside!” Jialan rushed in front of them, using her body to shield them from the battle’s aftermath while shouting.
The others didn’t hesitate at all and quickly rushed toward the nearest law hall. Wu Quan pushed open the door with a wave of his hand, and they entered one after another, then closed the door, isolating the battle’s aftermath outside.
