Chapter 378: Bad at the Game but Can’t Stop Playing!

Hearing Qingzhi’s words, the golden-armored man’s eyes narrowed instantly, killing intent rising within them. In an instant, an invisible pressure surged toward Jin Qing like a tidal wave, threatening to crush him on the spot.

Jin Qing showed no fear whatsoever. His body shuddered, and he transformed into ten thousand streams of golden light, slamming ferociously into the golden-armored man.

BOOM!

At that collision, heaven and earth cracked apart, and wave after wave of terrifying shockwaves began spreading outward in all directions.

The Shénqí suddenly swept his sleeve, and those shockwaves vanished in an instant. At the same time, a divine barrier directly enveloped the entire arena, and on top of that, the space within a million zhang radius was reinforced.

Far surpassing the Heavenly Curtain’s space-time!

Witnessing this, Chu Nai and the others all wore expressions of grave solemnity.

Not far away, Jin Qing came to a stop and swept his sleeve, shattering the remaining force from the golden armor. He raised his head to look at the golden-armored man nearby, and smiled with contempt, “Is that all? Is that really all?”

The golden-armored man’s expression immediately darkened. His body suddenly shuddered, and he thrust his spear straight at Jin Qing.

Although that thrust was extraordinarily terrifying, the space-time reinforced by the Shénqí was even more so, not even producing the slightest ripple.

A ferocious gleam flashed through Jin Qing’s eyes. He clenched both fists tightly, and a terrifying divine light erupted from within him. The next moment, he surged forward and threw a punch straight at the golden-armored man.

A direct clash!

BOOM!

That punch landed hard on the golden-armored man’s spear. The spear shook violently, and a terrifying energy exploded from the tip, sending both of them blasting backward repeatedly.

Seeing this, Chu Nai and the others grew excited.

Jin Qing, who had come to a stop, burst into excited laughter, “So this is what a god is? That’s absolutely hilarious. The Supreme God was right — if the path above hadn’t been sealed off, couldn’t we have become gods too!! Haha……”

This exchange made him understand that the gap between himself and these so-called gods above was not that great. If the gap within the same realm was small, it meant they were no worse than these ‘gods’ — in other words, given equal resources and an unsealed path, they were fully capable of becoming gods!

When they realized this, they felt both excited and furious!

All these years they had toiled like oxen and horses, yet those above had sealed off their path entirely!

Utterly unconscionable!

The golden-armored man’s expression gradually twisted with ferocity. In his hand, the spear began to tremble violently. The next moment, he suddenly hurled it with full force straight at Jin Qing.

Whoosh!

The spear tore through the air, heading straight for Jin Qing.

Jin Qing laughed loudly, “Come on then! You bastard!”

With that, his body shuddered and he charged forward again.

Bang bang bang

Soon, a series of explosive sounds rang out across the arena. Jin Qing and the golden-armored man became nothing but afterimages in everyone’s sight — they were moving far too fast, so fast that the naked eye could no longer make out their figures.

Ye Tianming watched this scene with some surprise. The strength of these palace masters was genuinely formidable.

As if thinking of something, he turned to look at Qingzhi standing nearby. At this moment, Qingzhi’s face was covered in a layer of frost, the killing intent in her eyes almost tangible.

Ye Tianming said, “Miss Qingzhi, there’s no rush.”

Her current strength was still not enough to contend with the gods.

Qingzhi nodded, “I understand.”

With that, she slowly closed her eyes.

Ye Tianming then turned to look at Chu Nai in the distance, and Chu Nai immediately appeared before him.

Looking at Ye Tianming in front of him, Chu Nai felt rather conflicted. By now it was almost one hundred percent certain that the person before him was not the Star God, but Ye Tianming.

He was curious and puzzled — how could a young man from the Official Residence Universe have reverse-devoured a Star God!!

It was truly abnormal.

Of course, he didn’t ask.

At a time like this, whether it was Ye Tianming or the Star God didn’t matter — what mattered was that you had to be powerful!!

Ye Tianming said, “Maintain order!”

Hearing Ye Tianming’s words, Chu Nai immediately understood. With the gods continuously sending powerful beings down, the entire divine spirit universe would surely be in panic, and at a time like this, there would certainly be many who would cause chaos.

Chu Nai bowed respectfully, “Understood.”

With that, he paused and looked toward the Shénqí in the sky, “Supreme God…….”

Ye Tianming smiled, “I’ll handle it.”

Chu Nai felt a wave of relief, said nothing more, bowed deeply, then turned and left.

Ye Tianming looked toward Ke Sheng, who immediately bowed deeply, “Understood.”

With that, he turned and left.

The Prison Master hurriedly said, “Supreme God, what should I do?”

Ye Tianming said, “Just watch!”

The Prison Master looked a little displeased, “Supreme God, I can handle important tasks!”

Ye Tianming smiled, “No rush!”

The Prison Master had no choice but to nod.

Ye Tianming then turned to look at Guan Nan, who was watching the battle from a distance. Guan Nan said quietly, “Everything is already prepared.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Thank you for your trouble, Miss.”

Guan Nan said, “You’re too kind, Young Master.”

With that, she tightly clenched her hands as well.

This time, she, Guan Nan, had wagered her entire future.

Although Ye Tianming had that card, no one above had said a word about helping Ye Tianming — up to this point, everything had been her, Guan Nan, acting entirely on her own initiative.

If Ye Tianming won, all would be well. But if he didn’t…… unless Qin Guan stepped forward, the losses she, Guan Nan, had caused would bring about her complete and utter ruin.

And the Pavilion Master Qin had already left…… moreover, she knew that this matter of hers, in the Pavilion Master’s eyes, was an affair too trivial to be any smaller — whether the other party even remembered her was hard to say.

No exaggeration whatsoever!

Never mind the Pavilion Master — even at her own level, among the hundreds of thousands of branch directors below, there were barely one or two she could remember herself.

A high-stakes gamble!

Win the bet, and she, Guan Nan, would no longer be merely a director!!

BOOM!

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out from the distance. Everyone looked over, and saw that the battlefield was now blanketed by wave after wave of terrifying golden spear light and divine radiance.

In that battlefield, both combatants had now fought themselves into a frenzy.

The golden-armored man was furious because he had been looked down upon by these ‘ants’ below.

And Jin Qing’s rage came from realizing that the gap between himself and these ‘gods’ who had descended was not that great — yet he could not become a god!

Damn it!

Why the hell not!

The more he fought, the more incensed he became, the more he fought, the more his fury burned.

Both of them were now going all out, each wishing they could devour the other alive.

The entire area trembled again and again under the force of their power, like a massive earthquake — utterly terrifying.

“Ahhh!”

Just then, the golden-armored man suddenly let out a furious roar. The next moment, the spear in his hand shot straight up into the sky, and once it reached the heavens, it erupted with boundless golden spear light, raining down on Jin Qing below like a shower of meteors.

Divine Technique: Divine Law Art!

Those falling streaks of spear light were like meteors, each one containing mysterious golden runes. As they descended, the runes within them all ignited, and in just an instant, those falling meteors transformed into streams of flame!

Jin Qing looked up at those burning spear lights, a ferocious smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. The next moment, he clenched his right hand tightly, and boundless golden light quietly gathered in his palm as a terrifying aura erupted from within him.

The next moment, under everyone’s gaze, he threw a single punch straight up at the sky.

The fist light blazed like the sun, sweeping across heaven and earth in an instant!

BOOM!

The entire area where the two stood erupted with countless shockwaves!

All of the golden-armored man’s spear lights were shattered by half in an instant, and at the same time, the golden-armored man himself was sent flying backward!

Law of All Beings!

Seeing this, the Prison Master and the others were all taken aback — none of them had expected Jin Qing to use the Law of All Beings!

After Jin Qing came to a stop, his physical body had cracked apart. He had tried to protect it, but had been unable to do so, and in the end it was shattered, leaving only his soul.

Of course, the golden-armored man was in far worse shape — both his body and soul had been directly cut in half!

The golden-armored man was stunned. He stared at Jin Qing in the distance in disbelief, “What kind of power is that.”

Jin Qing grinned savagely, “This is the Law of All Beings! Created by yours truly! I……”

At that, he suddenly realized something was wrong and hastily stopped himself.

Everyone: “…….”

Jin Qing quickly turned to look at Ye Tianming and laughed awkwardly, “I’m the Supreme God’s underling — what the Supreme God creates is what I create!”

Ye Tianming: “…….”

In the distance, the golden-armored man’s expression was utterly wretched. That last strike had directly rendered him incapable of fighting!

He had never imagined that the beings below could be this powerful.

Although Jin Qing had lost his physical body, he burst into laughter, “So this is what gods are? Come on then, let’s fight again……”

Hearing Jin Qing’s mockery, the golden-armored man’s expression grew even more unsightly.

BOOM!

Just then, the depths of the cosmic star river suddenly split open, and another divine path descended.

Immediately after, a man carrying a long blade walked down from that divine path.

Seeing this, the Prison Master and the others’ expressions immediately darkened — another one had been sent down from above.

The blade-wielding man’s aura was clearly far stronger than the golden-armored man’s!

After the blade-wielding man descended, his gaze swept around. Just then, the Shénqí in the distance suddenly stepped forward. He looked at the blade-wielding man and said, “Forget it, forget it — you lot are just too weak! Weak and still coming one by one, what a waste of time. I’ll just handle it myself!”

Hearing this, the blade-wielding man’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze cutting toward the Shénqí like a blade, “You dare blaspheme the gods — you’re courting death!”

With that, he moved to strike.

The Shénqí simply raised a hand and pressed down.

BOOM!

The blade-wielding man was instantly suppressed by a terrifying force and dropped to his knees on the divine path!

Everyone was horrified!

Before anyone could react, the Shénqí swept his sleeve, and both the golden-armored man and the blade-wielding man were sent hurtling back into the depths of the divine path by a surge of force. Immediately after, the Shénqí forcibly closed the divine path.

After doing all of this, the Shénqí turned to look at Ye Tianming below, and smiled, “They’re weak and love to drag things out — truly a waste of time. Young Master Ye, shall we begin? Of course, if you wish to gather the power of all beings’ faith, I can give you time. During that period, I will not make a move against you……. gather to your heart’s content!”
