Chapter 307: 306: The Final Battle
Chapter 307: 306: The Final Battle
Cang Yu shouted, along with two other temple priests, blocking three of the Main Gods.
The three of them, all masters of the three Divine Skills, although had not developed full control for long and were not as strong as the other four Gods, were capable enough to hold them back and buy some time.
The remaining seventy or so individuals formed a particular battle formation, surrounding the last Main God in a yellow robe at the centre.
The Main God in the yellow robe did not panic at this sight, but rather showed a hint of mockery.
“So this is your plan? Consolidate your powers to eliminate the weakest?”
His expression was intricate, “In your eyes, am I the weakest of the Main Gods?”
On hearing this, Cang Yu’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized that this was a tactic to dissipate their morale. He quickly retorted, “Aren’t you?”
“Among the seven Main Gods, you in the yellow robe are ranked the lowest. Hasn’t it always been this way for millions of years?”
Other Main Gods revealed intriguing expressions after hearing Cang Yu’s words.
Observing the expressions of the trio, Cang Yu’s unease grew, but he suppressed his emotions, staring coldly at the Main God in the yellow robe.
“Hehe!”
The Main God in the yellow robe gave a light laugh and grinned, “Do you know what element I represent? I’m the Main God of the Earth Element!”
“Earth supports all creatures and is renowned for its superior defensive powers. Out of everyone, you chose me as the breakout…”
“Hahaha!”
“Interesting!”
The other three Main Gods also burst into laughter.
In everyday life, they also have skirmishes among the Seven Gods and to prevent their subjects from scrutinizing their real strengths, they never took action in front of the world. Even the skirmishes took place only in secluded places where no one was near.
“And how is ‘Earth’ a problem?”
Cang Yu shrugged, “I too command Main God-level martial arts. It’s not as exaggerated as I had originally imagined…”
“Moreover, we had also practiced in secret, the best one to handle turned out to be you…”
“Practice?”
The Main God in the yellow robe looked at another man in a yellow robe with interest.
“So, you practiced with Yellow Dragon in my place?”
Cang Yu nodded and said lightly, “Indeed, we have made full preparations to specifically target you…”
At a distance, Du Gang and others were observing surreptitiously from tens of kilometers away.
Tired of their endless conversations, Kou Yingwu was a bit frustrated, “What are these guys mulling over? Why aren’t they fighting yet?”
Du Gang glanced at him and said softly, “They’re biding their time. If you observe carefully, you will find that those seventy or so individuals are all still…”
“Not just them!”
At this point, Tao Xuanzhu had also noticed something and said, “Look at the Main God in the yellow robe. Although it does not seem that he’s doing anything, if you observe his Divine Power, you will discover a certain rhyme. He is secretly performing some sort of technique!”
“I see!”
Jia Xiangming, who had been as confused as Kou Yingwu, now suddenly understood, “So, both parties have their own tricks up their sleeves!”
Du Gang nodded, “It seems so. The Slaughters think they are capable of a joint attack against the yellow robe to set the victory.”
“On the other hand, the Four Gods clearly believe in the defensive strength of the yellow robe. They plan to defend first and attack later, shattering the enemy’s confidence!”
Lan Zhize curiously asked, “So, who will win between them?”
When such a conjecture began, everyone looked at Du Gang unconsciously. It’s not that they couldn’t think, it’s just that they wanted to hear Du Gang’s opinion.
Du Gang did not hesitate and began to analyze directly, “It’s a matter of spear and shield. Of both parties, one is the spear, the other the shield and both find themselves superior…”
“But there is no so-called superiority, either the spear breaks the shield, or the shield defends the spear, there is no middle ground…”
“The spear side’s understanding of the shield originates from experiments they conducted with a substitute shield that superficially resembles the real one, but is far inferior…”
“On the shield side…”
Du Gang paused for two seconds, “The ensuing years under the rule of the Seven Gods, have seen numerous conflicts among their subordinate deities. Numerous generations of Main Gods have been replaced. So, they have a clear understanding of their strengths!”
“And…”
His eyes suddenly brightened, as he shook his head and laughed, “The seven Main Gods must have experienced something like this years ago… They all have ascended from being Main Gods step by step. Don’t you think, they would have mastered these joint skills? Especially in Jin Biao’s small world, where no martial art is lost. Once a technique disappears, there would definitely be someone who could regain mastery over it…”
When they heard him explain this, the others immediately understood.
“So, you mean, the Main God in the yellow robe has a better chance of winning?”
Du Gang nodded, “That’s right, I bet on the Main God in the yellow robe!”
“Moreover, judging from the current posture of the other three Main Gods, they appear to have reached a certain tacit understanding!”
Curious, Lan Zhize asked, “Tacit understanding? What kind of tacit understanding?”
Du Gang laughed, “The timing of their counterattack!”
“The more confident the Slaughters are about their combined attack, the bigger hit they will take if the attack fails!”
“So, when they are stunned, that’ll be the time for the Four Gods to launch a fierce attack!”
Indeed, as Du Gang had speculated, the other three Gods seemed to be eager to see the surprised expressions on the faces of Cang Yu and the others when they fail. So, they chose to hold their ground and watch the proceedings rather than engage with Cang Yu’s team.
Meanwhile, Cang Yu and the other two temple priests were aimed at preventing the other three Gods and had no intention of making a move if they were idling.
And just like that, both factions continued their verbal barrage while nurturing their hidden intentions.
Finally, when both the parties were feeling bored, the formation the Slaughters had established was finally complete.
“Here it comes!”
Du Gang and his comrades immediately became energized and started to observe with wide eyes.
“Everyone, the time to eliminate the gods is now! Whether or not we will live, whether or not we will take charge, all depends on this moment!”
“Attack!”
With a mighty roar from Cang Yu, every member of the Slaughters alliance sprang into action.
Not only those who had formed the formation did so, but even Cang Yu and the two other temple priests didn’t hold back.
However, the trio took action against the Fire God and his comrades, aiming to intercept them and prevent them from interfering with another battlefield.
“Hehe!”
The Fire God chuckled, seeing through their intentions. He was eager to see the despair on Cang Yu and the others’ faces when they failed.
“Buzz!”
In the field, a spear that was up to a kilometer long slowly emerged. The spear resembled the illusory image of an Ancient Divine Spear.
On the other hand, the Main God in the yellow robe wasn’t panicked. He was floating in the air with his limbs in an odd position, looking like a tortoise in the sky.
“Rise!”
With his commanding shout, a tortoise shadow slowly surfaced. This shadow was only three hundred meters in size and compared to the spear’s length was insignificant.
From afar,
Upon seeing the long spear, a look of confusion appeared on Du Gang’s face.
A phantom of the Ancient Divine Spear?
Could this be a technique created based on the Ancient Divine Spear?
He had this thought for a moment, then quickly shifted his attention to the situation in the field.
“Wait a minute, it’s now certain that the Son of Fate is among these gods…”
“So, logically, the Four Gods would become his sharpening stone and be suppressed!”
He was somewhat confused. If we look at the situation in the small world, it should be the Son of Fate who wins.
And the Son of Fate is known to stand on the side of the Godslaughter Alliance.
But his calculation results suggest that the Four Gods would win.
Could there be any change?
At first, the others didn’t take it seriously, but after hearing Du Gang’s mutter, they also noticed something strange.
“Indeed, in this case, the Son of Fate should certainly win. Do they have any backups?”
Backup?
Du Gang’s gaze wandered between Cang Yu and the other two temple priests.
At this point, he had basically narrowed down the identity of the Son of Fate. The fact that these three were able to learn the techniques of the now lost three gods, from this standpoint, was a manifestation of destiny; it was dictated by luck. Eight or nine times out of ten, the Son of Fate was among them.
Among the three, Cang Yu was the most likely candidate, mainly because he was the link, the initiator of today’s battle!
Du Gang set his sights on Cang Yu, trying to see if there would be any actions from him.
Unfortunately, the Fire God was determined to stop him, preventing him from disturbing the Yellow Dragon God. How could he let him escape his reach?
Elsewhere, the clash between the spear and the shield was finally resolved.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the phantom of the kilometer-long spear gradually dissipated as it approached the turtle shell inch by inch.
This time, the spear was not as good as the shield!
Seeing this outcome, Du Gang felt some inexplicable emotions.
This spear phantom looked exactly like his Ancient Divine Spear.
Obviously, it was a technique created to mimic the attack of his spear.
Unfortunately, this technique did not achieve any great results.
“No!”
“Impossible!”
At this moment, all the members of the Godslaughter Alliance who saw this outcome were panicked and lost their composure.
A good opportunity!
The eyes of the Four Gods brightened immediately, while the other three remained in guard of their territories, guarding Cang Yu and the other two temple priests.
The Yellow Dragon God, however, revealed a cruel smile.
“Did you think that the Earth God only has defensive techniques?”
The Yellow Dragon God, with a ferocious face, laughed uproariously.
“Did you think that we avoided everyone and never confronted you directly for no reason?”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Cang Yu and others, and scoffed, “Did you think that the techniques you’ve gained for less than a year could compare with ours that have been practiced for so long?”
With the end of his words, the earth elements within a hundred meters started to tremble.
The originally solid sand, at this moment, seemed to come alive.
“Yellow Springs Marsh!”
With the release of a divine power over 20,000 Naer, the whole world seemed to plunge into a desert of yellow sand.
The soil layer of the ground, like water from a waterfall, began to flow backwards into the sky.
“What is this?!”
“Run!”
Countless people struggled bravely, but to their despair, this yellow sand waterfall possessed some sort of weak barrier that locked them in place, making it impossible for them to escape.
“Puff!”
The first casualty appeared!
He was killed after being pierced through by the grains of yellow sand, along with his deity!
“I was wrong, please spare me…”
Some cried out for mercy, but unfortunately, there was only indifference in the eyes of the Yellow Dragon God, no mercy. He was indifferent to their pleas.
“Don’t beg him, fight back together, break his attack…”
Others tried to resist, but it was too late. The failure of the spear to break the shield had already shattered their spirits, leaving them in chaos. Coupled with this attack of more than 20,000 Naer, they all felt the Yellow Dragon God was invincible and couldn’t be resisted.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
As time passed, those in the field, like balloons pierced by needles, started to explode one after another.
“No!”
Watching this scene, Cang Yu, who was pinned down and unable to break away, had eyes filled with rage and intense pain.
Without saying another word, he turned around to attack the Yellow Dragon God, trying to save his comrades.
Unfortunately, the Fire God had already set up a defensive line and wouldn’t let him leave easily.
A continuous attack was launched, even Cang Yu could only resist at this point, unable to make any other move.
“Fire, I swear not to rest until I’ve defeated you!”
Cang Yu’s roar was unceasing. His blood-red eyes seemed to want to gobble up the Fire God.
“Ha, did you think that at this point we could still get along?”
The Fire God was unmoved by his threat, even a little amused.
Furious and shocked, Cang Yu had already displayed a combat power of over 20,000 Naer divine power. However, the Fire God as an old deity, was not inferior at all. Not only did he release more pressure than Cang Yu, but he also seemed to still have extra energy.
For a moment, there were seven people on the field who had all exploded with a combat power of over 20,000 Naer.
“Du Gang!”
In the dark, Kou Yingwu was already a bit eager to get into the fight, for of the more than seventy people in the field, more than half had already died. Very few were left struggling in the desert marsh.
Upon hearing this, Du Gang did not give the order, but rather furrowed his brows.
“Don’t you think everything is going too smoothly?”
“Why is the World’s Will indifferent?”
He found it strange. The world’s will had not given up in trying to get people to kill them after they arrived. However, when it was clear that they were lying in wait for these people, there was no warning, no movement at all.
At this point, Jia Xiangming, who had been silent, gave a faint smile, “Don’t you think the Seven Gods Palace is a bit too big?”
Upon hearing his words, everyone looked up at the overbearing Seven Gods Palace, resembling a floating island in the distance. Indeed, it seemed abnormal.
