Chapter 2214: God Slayer

Whoosh

Countless precepts of heaven and earth appeared and interweaved with one another, completely enveloping the planet where Lord Ming was.

Even though they were distant, they could feel the awe-inspiring pressure of heaven and earth.

Under normal circumstances, when a lifeform ascended to godhood, they would need to undergo divine tribulation.

A tribulation a deity must undergo varies across individuals. It could be related to love, lust, unresolved feelings, lingering feelings. It could be in the form of lightning, unnatural death, and so on. Different lifeforms had different cultivation experiences, therefore the tribulations would be different.

The difficulty of the tribulations was naturally different.

In general, the tribulations correspond with what one fears most.

The more they feared, the stronger the tribulations.

Empress Chi Yao, for instance, had experienced the love tribulations some time past. She had relied on Zhang Ruochen to perfect herself and become a deity.

But now, Lord Ming needed to experience the Heart Tribulation. The test was his.

Because after cultivating for more than a myriad years, his heart wasn’t fair. There was anger and hatred brewing in his heart.

“I can even overcome the will of the Ancestral Swordmaster. I’m destined to become an unparalleled elite that will shake all realms. What can a mere heart tribulation do to me?”

Lord Ming was determined.

His divine heart was as firm as a rock and couldn’t be shaken.

After cultivating in The Nether Dungeon for a myriad years, Lord Ming’s mind and will had reached an unimaginable level. The heart tribulation wasn’t a challenge for him in the least.

It was sort of a threshold that would be crossed with only one step.

Whoosh

Not long after, the divine light that shone from Lord Ming became even more dazzling. It was like a divine sun that wanted to illuminate the dim starry sky completely.

At the same time, an imposing divine force spread from Lord Ming. It covered the sky and earth and spread in all directions. Ripples appeared within the surrounding starry sea.

A vast amount of heaven and earth power fused into his body and urged the transformation of divine force.

“He has passed the Heart Tribulation,” Blood Empress said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Was it that easy to become a god?”

“That’s because few external objects can affect him since he started cultivating. As for the anger and resentment in his heart, he had already overcome them in The Nether Dungeon. They couldn’t affect his spiritual will. He had the confidence to become a god thousands of years ago. After thousands of years of training, the Heart Tribulation won’t be able to do anything to him.” Blood Empress said.

Zhang Ruochen had no idea about the Divine Tribulation.

Lord Ming may look calm on the surface, but no one knew what he had experienced at that moment.

Boom

A surge of Blood Qi soared into the sky and shook the nine heavens.

Lord Ming stood up and stepped on the planet. His body expanded rapidly.

Ascending to godhood was a great leap in life for any lifeforms. It would be in the form of a divine giant with no deliberate suppression.

The stronger the blood qi, the larger the divine physique they might create once they became a god.

Lord Ming’s body was constantly bursting with vigorous blood qi, which guided the divine physique to ascend as if there was no limit.

In the end, it reached a total of 90,000 miles before it stabilized.

Boom

The yellowish-brown planet with a diameter of 30,000 miles couldn’t bear Lord Ming’s divine physique and divine force. It shattered and became tiny asteroids.

Hiss

Xue Tu, Xuemo, Qi Sheng, and Ying Huo all looked up at Lord Ming’s divine physique and gasped at the sight of it.

Even Zhang Ruochen’s mind was affected by the size of it.

Even though he had become a Supreme Saint elite and possessed the body of a demigod, he was still very different from a real God.

‘I wonder how powerful will the 90,000-mile true vessel be and how many Divine Planets can Lord Ming condense?’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

The number of Divine Planets was connected with the buildup of cultivators.

The more powerful the buildup, the more Divine Planets could be condensed.

To become a god, one needed at least the power of a star, which was to condense a Divine Planet.

The power of a star was terrifying. Even the slightest fluctuation would kill all lifeforms on the nearby planets.

The encompassing starry sky would be destroyed if a star exploded.

Because of this, in the eyes of the gods, if one did not become a god, they would eventually become an ant.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators would do their best to strengthen their accumulation and would not rush to ascend to godhood. Therefore, there will be at least two Divine Planets condensed.

Only those gods who relied on refining Divinity Source to reach godhood would only have one Divine Planet.

They were also a god, but they weren’t recognized. They could only be considered pseudo gods.

Pseudo gods could not survive the calamity of the Yuanhui Tribulation. They could only live for one Yuanhui Tribulation.

A god’s future achievements depend on the number of Divine Planets he or she condensed. The more the better.

When Empress Chi Yao became a deity, she condensed a total of thirty-three Divine Planets. In other words, she also possessed the terrifying power contained in thirty=three stars. It was almost comparable to a god who had survived the calamity of the Yuanhui Tribulation.

Crash

Above Lord Ming’s head, an incomparably vast starry sky appeared, faintly discernible.

This starry sky was extremely demonic. Hundreds of millions of stars converged into a long river that stretched across the universe. It was very long and no one could tell where it begins or where it ends. It made people feel that it was unreal.

The starry sky emitted yellow light. It was like a river of styx that flowed through the universe.

“Is that starry sky Infernal Court?” Zhang Ruochen muttered.

He was familiar with this milky way of styx. He had seen it twice when he had been to the Death’s Door.

Zhang Ruochen knew very well that the milky way of styx was very far away from this starry sky. Under normal circumstances, he couldn’t see it at all.

It was because Lord Ming had become a god. He illuminated heaven and earth, making them appear across space.

It was a miracle.

Now Lord Ming has created his divine physique, and the next step is to create the Stellar Soul Constellation.

There were two methods to condense a Divine Planet.

One was to directly absorb the planet from the universe and merge one’s Precepts and divine soul into it.

Another way was to completely condense the Precepts and combine one’s Precepts with the precept of heaven and earth.

In comparison, the Divine Planet created by the second method was more compatible with the gods and could store more divine force in the future.

However, it was too difficult to condense the Divine Planet completely by Precepts and only a few people could achieve it.

Naturally, with Lord Ming’s pride and strength, he wanted to condense the Divine Planet that was most compatible with himself.

Countless thick and solid Divine Precepts rushed out of Lord Ming and entered the milky way of styx. They triggered the precepts of heaven and earth in the Infernal Court and interweaved with each other.

Lord Ming’s ascension was a huge commotion and trembled many planets in the nearby starry sky.

In a starry sky far away, there was a dead Divine Planet. On the top of the highest mountain on the planet, there was a tall and sturdy golden-armored god sitting cross-legged.

This Divine Planet belonged to the Great God Jinque of Kunlun.

Great God Jinque died in the divine war during the Middle Ages. Saint Monk Xumi used space-time techniques and hid the Divine Planet. However, the golden-armored god found it in the universe.

At this moment, the golden-armored god was refining the remnant Stellar Soul of God on the Divine Planet to increase his strength.

Suddenly, the golden-armored god felt a powerful divine force fluctuating and looked at the distant starry sky.

‘What a powerful divine force fluctuation. It doesn’t belong to the Celestial Court. Perhaps a god from the Infernal Court?’ he thought.

The golden-armored god stood up and waved his arm. His fingers grabbed at the void and he was taking away the huge Divine Planet like taking a glass ball.

No matter how much a planet weighed, it was as light as a feather to the gods.

Swoosh

A starry path condensed by his divine force appeared under the feet of the golden-armored god. It was illusory and connected to the other side of the starry sky.

Only gods could see the starry path.

Walking on the starry path, every step he took was 129,600 miles.

It didn’t take long for the golden-armored god to appear near the place where Lord Ming was transcending his tribulation.

His gaze locked onto Lord Ming and was shocked when he saw the 90,000-mile divine physique.

‘The aura of the Swordsmanship on him is so strong. It has the same origin as the Divine Artifact that appeared in Kunlun not long ago. Could it be that the Divine Artifact is on him?’ The golden-armored god thought.

Previously, the birth of the Stellar Sword had shaken the entire Central Region and it couldn’t escape the gods’ perception.

Many gods in the Celestial and Infernal Court were alarmed back then. They had sensed the aura of the Stellar Sword. Unfortunately, as Lord Ming entered the Endless Abyss, the aura disappeared.

The golden-armored god saw Blood Empress and his eyes froze.

The reason was that as a god, he couldn’t see through that woman at all. She gave him an unfathomable feeling. He could only tell that she was an Immortal Vampire.

The golden-armored god frowned slightly, he thought, ‘Who is she? Why have I never heard of such a god in the Immortal Vampires? No matter what, I have to stop that Immortal Vampire man from condensing the Divine Planet. There can’t be any new god in the Infernal Court.’

Immediately, the golden-armored god activated his powerful divine force and swung the sky spear at Lord Ming.

The attack from the sky spear cut through the starry sky and shot out a golden light like a comet.

There will be no stopping once the condensing of a Divine Planet has begun. If the process is interrupted, one could not continue to condense at least. At worst, the Divine Planet condensed would be destroyed.

In this way, it was equivalent to falling from the divinity right after one became a god. Moreover, one would suffer a terrifying backlash.

Therefore, when one broke through to become a god, they would usually ask someone to protect them or make all sorts of arrangements in advance to prevent all sorts of unexpected situations from happening.

Blood Empress had long sensed the aura of the golden-armored god. Seeing that he had launched an attack, she snorted coldly, raised a divine jade-like hand, and pressed it forward.

Immediately, an enormous phantom divine monument appeared in the starry sky, tens of thousands of miles tall.

Rumble

Just as it came into contact with the phantom divine monument, the golden light from the sky spear slashed out was like an egg hitting a rock. It shattered and dissipated into nothingness.

Blood Empress twisted her wrist and pressed her hand into the void.

Following that, the phantom divine monument directly pressed toward the golden-armored god.

“This is bad, she’s a true God.”

The golden-armored god’s face changed dramatically, and he retreated while he used all his strength to resist.

In an instant, the golden-armored god revealed his true form. He had a ninety thousand meters tall body, but he still looked small in front of the divine monument that was tens of thousands of miles tall.

Boom

The golden-armored god was unable to resist it in the end, and his divine physique exploded from the impact.

The divine monument shone with a brilliant blood-red light, completely enveloping the golden-armored god. Then, it shook and released a power that could destroy all things.

“No!”

The golden-armored god let out an unwilling and despairing roar, desperately trying to break free.

At this moment, he truly felt the death threat.

“A mere one-star pseudo god dares to come and throw his life away?” Blood Empress said indifferently.

Blood Empress didn’t care much of a being ascended to godhood by refining the Divinity Source.

Most of the gods sent by the Celestial Court and Infernal Court to patrol the Battlefield of Merits were one-star pseudo gods. As they did not have the potential to grow, it would not be a great loss even if they died.

Suddenly, Blood Empress raised her head and looked into the distance. She muttered, “Another god is approaching.”

Before she finished her words, a five-colored ribbon cut through the starry sky and extended over.

A ball of fire hundreds of miles in size appeared above the five-colored ribbon.

Crash

The fire exploded and formed a huge circle of fire.

A mighty god wearing three-colored armor walked out of the circle of fire. His body emitted a terrifying heat that distorted the surrounding starry sky.

When Zhang Ruochen saw who it was, his heart skipped a beat.

He was very familiar with this god and he had once wanted to kill him. It was Yanshen of the Fane of Merit.

Yanshen had been injured on Mount Yueshen, causing the Fane of Merit to lose face. When he returned, he was punished and sent to collect the Power of Merits from the Battlefield of Merits of Kunlun.

The Fane of Merit had a high status in the Celestial Court, and many gods were in charge of it. However, they were either cultivating in seclusion or overseeing the Battlefield of Merits.

Yanshen used to be in charge of the matters of the Fane of Merit. He was equivalent to a butler arranged by the Lord of the Fane of Merit.

“Save… Save Me.”

The golden-armored god who was suppressed by the divine monument cried out weakly for help.

As a one-star pseudo god, his mental power and life force were far from being comparable to a true God.

“Stop!”

Yanshen roared and put his hands together. Divine flames surged out of his body.

The divine flames were too intense and completely enveloped the Yanshen, making him look like a sun. He gave off extreme light and heat as if he wanted to meet the starry sky.

The three-colored flames interweaved and condensed into a torrent of flames. Like a giant flame dragon, it shot across the sky toward the divine monument that was tens of thousands of miles tall.

Although Yanshen hadn’t grasped any Canon, and he wasn’t an ancient god who had passed the Yuan Hui Tribulation. He cultivated the Way of the Three Corpses from the Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank. His strength was extremely strong, far from what an ordinary god could compare to.

Blood Empress appeared extremely calm. She formed a seal and released even more Divine Precepts and divine force. She condensed another divine monument and slapped it at Yanshen.

Boom

The divine monument was unparalleled. It shattered the torrent of flames and turned it into a rain of fire that filled the sky, incomparably dazzling.

Yanshen’s heart sank. He didn’t hesitate and immediately activated the Power of Merits. It was unfathomable. With its boost on Yanshen, his strength increased greatly.

Yanshen pushed forward with both hands. The Power of Merits condensed into a five-colored divine seal that was as large as a star.

Bang

However, the five-colored divine seal was unable to block the divine monument. It was pierced through the moment it came into contact and turned into a cloud of smoke.

The next moment, the divine monument hit Yanshen.

Pfft

Yanshen was sent flying four thousand miles away. There was blood hanging at the corner of his mouth, and his chest was heaving up and down violently.

“It’s another Canon.”

Yanshen’s eyes were wide open, and he was both shocked and angry.

In the battle on Mount Yueshen, he had suffered the loss of the Canon. Half of his body had been cut off by the Moon Goddess, and his injuries hadn’t recovered yet. It was truly a great humiliation.

There were very few gods who had mastered the Canon in this world. Each of them had a famous existence.

But Yanshen didn’t have any impression of Blood Empress. It was really strange.

Encountering a true God who had mastered the Canon, Yanshen didn’t dare to rescue the golden-armored god. He was afraid that he would be implicated. One had to know that this wasn’t the Celestial Court, and the other wasn’t a god of the Celestial Court.

In the Celestial Court, even the Moon Goddess didn’t dare to kill him.

But the god of the Infernal Court didn’t have any scruples.

“That’s… Zhang Ruochen. He’s still alive.”

Yanshen sensed a familiar divine force fluctuation. He stared at it and saw Zhang Ruochen standing beside Blood Empress.

Finally, his gaze locked onto Zhang Ruochen’s leg.

He knew that the Moon Goddess had given his leg to a weakling of Saint Kinghood. Yanshen had become the laughing stock of the gods. Now that he saw Zhang Ruochen, Yanshen’s eyes burned. He gritted his teeth in hatred.

“How is this bast*rd still alive?”

The news of Zhang Ruochen’s death in Kunlun had long spread throughout the world. Yanshen had also heard about it.

On the other side, the screams gradually disappeared. The divine monument had destroyed the golden-armored god’s spiritual will and Qi of life, leaving only a soulless shell.

Besides the mother world of the golden-armored god, his only Divine Planet dimmed and lost its luster.

Another god has fallen.

Blood Empress reached out a large hand and took away the pseudo god’s body. She held it in her palm and glanced at Yanshen. “I can feel the anger in your heart. Show me your true ability. I want to slay a true God to show my power.”

Slaying a pseudo god was not enough for Blood Empress.

After the battle on Mount Yueshen, Yanshen had learned his lesson. He knew that he was not the kind of war god who guarded the Battlefield of Merits all year round. There was no need to fight with the true gods of the Infernal Court.

His eyelids drooped and he said lightly, “He’s just a new god. Don’t be too arrogant. The gods of Celestial Court will come soon. There will be a price to pay for killing a god of Celestial Court.”

Xue Tu whispered in Zhang Ruochen’s ear and laughed. “Did you see how hypocritical the gods of the Celestial Court are? If he had tried his best just now, he might have been able to save that pseudo god. But he chose to retreat.”

Xuemo, Qi Sheng, and Ying Huo all laughed contemptuously.

There was nothing to be afraid of with Blood Empress on their side, even if the other party was a god.

Yanshen’s eyes grew colder. He would have killed all the Immortal Vampires if he had also cultivated the Canon. Those who humiliated gods had to die.

On the other side, one after another Divine Planets were created in the River Styx.

Before he became a god, Lord Ming already had the power of a star. He crossed the gulf and was comparable to a one-star pseudo god.

With such a powerful accumulation, he was naturally not comparable to ordinary gods after he broke through.

Lord Ming did not hold back at all. He released his Precepts and divine force to successfully create his Stellar Soul Constellations in an extremely short period.

Twenty-eight dazzling stars appeared in the milky way of styx. They were connected and formed Lord Ming’s figure.

At a glance, these twenty-eight stars were particularly prominent. The light they emitted made the entire milky way of styx even brighter.

To the gods, the brighter the Divine Planet was, the better. It represented a state of the gods themselves. Many times, cultivators judged the state of the gods by the light of the Divine Planet.

Back then, when Moon Goddess was severely injured and on the verge of death, her Divine Planets had completely dimmed. As a result, it misled Wargod Bian Zhuang that she was dead. In a fit of anger, he had abandoned the Celestial River and charged into the Infernal Court alone.

“Twenty-eight Divine Planets. Sixth Brother’s fortuitous encounter in The Nether Dungeon is not small.” Blood Empress’s eyes flashed with a strange light.

The Divine Planets represent not only the power that the gods now possess but also the potential as well.

The number of Divine Planets formed by the gods who could grasp the Canon was not small.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the twenty-eight Divine Planets floating in the milky way of styx. Lord Ming was not bragging. Once he became a god, he was indeed extraordinary.

‘The Stellar Soul Constellation is so powerful, and with the Stellar Sword, Lord Ming’s strength may be comparable to the ancient God who survived the Yuan Hui Tribulation,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

He had just become a god, but he was already so powerful. He didn’t know how powerful he would be if he practiced for another Yuan Hui.

Qi Sheng was excited and he idolizes Lord Ming. He had heard all kinds of legends about Lord Ming since he was born.

He had tried hard to rescue Lord Ming from The Nether Dungeon.

He had never thought that he would be able to witness the great moment when Lord Ming became a god.

Rumble

At this moment, the starry sky shook violently and beams of divine light appeared one after another. The commotion of the divine war was too big, and it attracted the gods from the Celestial and Infernal Court to descend.
