Chapter 426: Chapter 215: The Great Battle Begins! Fighting the Saint King!

Outside Divine Concealment Division, dense forest

Countless agile shadows swiftly advanced through the forest, heading to the battlefield.

Amidst the crowd, two figures quietly broke away and fled; they were Yuan Chu and Short-tailed Cat.

In a battle of this caliber, Yuan Chu’s strength was insufficient to affect the outcome, and Short-tailed Cat risked sudden death from the aftermath. Participation bore high difficulty and little reward for them, better to stir up trouble elsewhere.

The vastness of Feng Shen Ji World meant there was not only one main storyline but likely hidden side quests, searching for hidden treasure lines. This was their true endeavor.

Pursuing the myths within stories, seeking hidden power within the world, akin to the Phoenix’s Inheritance line, this was their intended path.

Ye Mingqiu did not pursue it because he had already encountered Fu Xi, akin to a treasure. He learned various High Tier Energy application skills and spell usage, inherently possessing significant value, with no need to expend further resources seeking side quests.

....

As evening fell, cold winds rose, a chilling aura hovered over the Divine Concealment Division. Ye Mingqiu sat in the empty tribe, flipping through an ancient book he had borrowed from Fu Xi.

"Comprehensive Understanding of Divine Power"

This ancient tome recorded techniques for using Divine Power, containing highly valuable content, useful for reflection when employing other powers.

Although reading this book might not confer a specific ability, amassing a large volume of such readings enhances future learning efficiency, facilitating analogous insights and faster mastery of new content.

"Swish~"

Ye Mingqiu turned another page, still holding the Holy Power experiment, his demeanor calm and composed, not at all resembling one about to face a great battle.

Compared to Level 7 Divinity Hephaestus, these Divine Race Saint Kings were akin to little girls.

Should an emergency arise, he would directly use the Sun Badge’s [Eternal Sun]; although the badge had limited durability, breaking after three uses, not using it when crucial renders it indistinguishable from having no Skills.

This was merely Tier One equipment, using it in Tier One’s pivotal battle fully harnessed its value, deliberately refraining from usage constituted true waste.

Soon, a gentle hostility swept in from distant winds, Ye Mingqiu closed the book slowly and stored it in the Storage Space, his gaze settling on the handsome man floating ahead in mid-air.

"Profound Wind?"

"Yes, it’s me, it seems... you’ve mingled with them, that’s quite unfortunate." Profound Wind wore a relaxed smile, emanating a green Wind Attribute Divine Power.

This was not an attack omen but preparation for retreat; he knew the Celestial Martial Saint Monarch had been slain and being inherently relaxed, Profound Wind preferred avoiding head-on clashes with such foes.

Thus, he cheerily asked, "Why don’t you turn away quietly, and I’ll pretend I didn’t notice? We’ll leave things undisturbed, as if you were never seen here, how about it?"

"Alright, then you go ahead."

Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.

"That won’t do, I’m here investigating, leaving now would make things difficult later... maybe you should leave instead." Profound Wind continued smiling.

"Too troublesome... then don’t bother!"

Ye Mingqiu’s eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying gleam, as surging Abyssal Power sprayed forth.

The release speed of [Mahakala] was faster than before, and more powerful, due to having strengthened the Authority of Light and Shadow once with Power of Faith, achieving a decent enhancement.

The pitch-black power, like surging tides, submerged sky and earth, Profound Wind Saint Monarch rapidly retreated but collided with an invisible barrier, a barrier composed of Qi Refining, a restriction Fu Xi had prepared in advance.

"Damn!"

Profound Wind cursed under his breath, instantly deducing the origins; he casually gathered Divine Power to shatter the barrier, but Mahakala’s Domain had already ensnared him securely.

In the boundless abyss of darkness, no sound or warmth existed, only a figure holding a blood column slowly approached, terrifying Blood Qi and murderous intent burst from his body, piercing Profound Wind’s being like blades.

Watching Ye Mingqiu approach, Profound Wind wasn’t overly alarmed but instead smiled as he queried, "With such formidable power, why align yourself with these people? Should you anger Heaven, none can bear it."

"He never cared about your lives."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

"...."

Profound Wind’s expression turned ugly; though the words were blunt, he had to admit, it seemed perhaps true of Heaven—not caring about Divine Race’s evolution, nor the fate of the Great Gods and Saint Kings.

Yet still puzzled, he asked, "How did you know?"

"Intuition."

"...Madman."

Profound Wind couldn’t resist saying, relying solely on intuition dared act like this—if not madness, what else?

Given Blood Erosion Tyrant’s identity and ability, and current circumstances, hiding the relationship with Fu Xi was unnecessary, plus he wasn’t one for beating around the bush among Divine Race People, so his words were likely genuine.

In the next moment, a majestic Holy Light descended from the world outside Mahakala, with an unstoppable might expelling the dark domain.

Outside the darkness were countless Divine Race People, bathed in holy radiance, shining from the sky upon the murky land. The Abyssal Power-shrouded sky was dispelled by another forceful Divine Power, yet remained adhesively on earth, swaying with the fierce wind.
