Chapter 1340 The Great War (Part Two)

Yet when Zhou Zhan beheld this high-tier artifact of the Master God, his visage twisted into a ferocious smile.

Boom!

The Xuanyuan Divine Sword crashed down with a mighty cleave against the Sacred Shield of Radiance.

A sharp, splintering crackle echoed through the air.

Then, a sight that filled Garona with sheer horror unfolded.

The Sacred Shield of Radiance, revered by the Radiant Angel race as their supreme treasure of both absolute defense and peerless offense, actually fractured under Zhou Sheng's solitary strike, a visible rift tearing across its surface as wisps of divine light bled out from within—a sign that the very source of this high-tier Master God artifact's divine power was leaking away, threatening to permanently degrade its rank if it were not repaired without delay.

Zhou Zhan cared nothing for whatever thoughts raced through Garona's mind, raining down blow after blow with an unyielding, steady countenance.

Though crafted as a divine sword, it was wielded by Zhou Sheng at this moment like a heavy blade, unleashing torrents of His unrivaled, devastating might!

Garona desperately attempted to strike back.

Yet in the face of Zhou Sheng’s terrifying suppression of laws and absolute might, Her counterattack was utterly laughable.

On the rare occasions when a few stray attacks miraculously struck Zhou Zhan, he remained entirely unfazed, as if it were a mere itch, plunging Garona into an even deeper abyss of despair.

Unrivaled in offense, and matchless in defense.

How could anyone fight such a battle?!

Right at that moment, upon witnessing Garona under siege, the other four Radiant Angel Lord Gods and four Celestial Spirit Lord Gods flew over to assist without a shred of hesitation.

"Come then!"

"Let me see what you are truly capable of!"

Far from showing fear, Zhou Zhan laughed with wild abandon.

With a mere thought, his Supreme Holy Body manifested three heads and six arms.

Each of his six hands wielded a pinnacle Lord God artifact, and in this manner, he forcefully held his ground alone against nine, completely unyielding and without losing a step!

At the same time,

Zhou Wu made no lag in his pursuit.

His target was the Xuan Tian Ling Master of the Xian Ling Clan!

As one of the supreme forces in the Xian Realm, the Xuan Tian Ling Master wielded a divine cauldron with unparalleled mastery. With the cauldron in hand, he was invincible in both offense and defense throughout the Xian Realm—few could stand against him, save for the Ten Supreme Deities.

Until he encountered Zhou Wu.

Leveraging the impenetrable defenses of his Supreme Saint Body and the boundless might of the Li Tian Emperor, Zhou Wu struck the divine cauldron over and over again with single, crushing punches.

Though the cauldron could perfectly rebound any external attack back upon its assailant, Zhou Wu showed no concern.

Instead, the Xuan Tian Ling Master, trapped within the cauldron, trembled under the relentless impact—each blow shaking his very essence to the point of disintegration. His face contorted with horror.

What kind of formidable ally had the Qing Di summoned?

Just the tactics laid bare before him, He felt utterly no less formidable than the Light Primordial God—Shiru—who had once defeated Him.

"Come on, help us!"

He bellowed at the other three Primordial Gods still frozen in hesitation.

They glanced at the seven glaring Primordial Gods of the Human Empire, their faces flickering with doubt.

If all of them rushed to assist, what would remain of the Human Empire’s remaining Primordial Gods? They could then slaughter through His vast army unchecked.

There were seven of them—seven!

Given enough time, they could utterly annihilate every soldier He had brought.

But then, their thoughts shifted.

For they saw that the aid summoned by the Qing Emperor had already put the strongest of the Xianling Clan—Xuan Tian Ling—into perilous straits, repeatedly threatening to break his own divine artifact, the vessel of his life. The very artifact that sustained him was on the brink of shattering. If it were lost, He would surely perish.

After all, a Primordial God was still far more vital than a mere soldier.

Thus, they all surged toward Zhou Wu.

In an instant.

Six chief deities encircled Zhou Wu beside him.

Yet he showed no fear at all, boldly engaging them in a one-on-six battle.

Meanwhile,

Another seven chief deities of the Jiaoyang Empire, originally intending to assist Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, were halted in their movements by a transmission from Zhou Zhan.

"You go aid the main army—don't worry about us. Let us spar with these creatures and stretch our muscles."

So they remained in passive observation, refraining from intervening in Zhou Zhan's and Zhou Wu's struggle.

Until they saw Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu not only holding their own against overwhelming odds, but even overpowering them in the midst of such a confrontation—only then did they finally feel at ease.

They marvelled internally at the strength of their sovereign, then turned their attention to the allied forces of the three tribes.

The enemy possessed vastly greater numbers—both in troops and in divine beings, including true gods.

Their own advantage lay in the quality of their military units and their external armaments.

With these two strengths, they could at least hold their own against the opposition.

And with the addition of these seven chief deities, they gained a decisive edge.

At the same time,

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, after their initial tests of the power of the Supreme Sacred Body, felt profoundly satisfied.

The Supreme Sacred Body truly was the premier technique among all the races.

Simply reaching the rank of lower-tier chief deity was enough to make them invincible within the realm of chief deities.

And this was merely its most fundamental ability.

This only deepened Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu's anticipation of the future of this body.

Then Zhou Zhan turned his gaze upon the Light Angel Primordial God among the gods besieging him—Galona.

With a single instantaneous shift, he appeared before her, his fingers tightening around her neck, simultaneously suppressing the Primordial Light and Sacred Divine Laws coursing through her very being with the authority of his own Primordial Rule.

"Hah... gurrrr..."

Galona struggled desperately, yet no force could move her—before Zhou Zhan, she was no more than a helpless chick.

"Experiment complete."

"I'm done playing games with you."

Zhou Zhan declared.

Then, with a single surge of divine power, he plunged into Galona's chest, shattering her divine essence, and with a will so close to becoming fully conscious, he obliterated her very will.

Galona fell lifeless to the ground.

Boom, boom, boom...

From the moment the other Primordial Deities saw Galaro being strangled by Zhou Zhan, until Galaro's final fall, they had relentlessly launched attacks upon Zhou Zhan.

Yet Zhou Zhan, possessing the Supreme Holy Body, stood like an unbreakable fortress. No matter what methods they employed, none of their assaults affected him in the slightest. Not even a single scratch marred the invincible inner armor of his Primordial Divine Artifact.

They watched him with utter disbelief.

Could this man be the Supreme God?

Why are our attacks—our mightiest assaults as top-tier Primordial Deities—completely ineffective against him?

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhan had already seized Galaro’s World Ring and extracted the divine bones of Hun Tian Di Zun.

He glanced toward Zhou Wu and saw that Zhou Wu had also slain Xuan Tian Ling Zhu, claiming all of his treasures and another bone of Hun Tian Di Zun.

Then, together, they turned their gaze toward the final alien deity lingering in the distance—the Chieftain of the Divine Lineage, Jiu Sheng Zhen Wang.

Terrified, the Nine-True Sovereign King shivered under the gaze of those two demonic deities.

He had clearly seen that two top-tier divine beings, no less powerful than himself, were obliterated in a single turn when they truly engaged—unable to withstand even a single round.

If he dared oppose them, would he not die instantly?

As for the numerical advantage of their divine forces?

He had seen the numbers.

He had seen no advantage at all.

With that thought, he hesitated not at all, pulling forth the last divine bone of a Heavenly Emperor Sovereign from his body and immediately pleaded:

"Emperor Qing, do not kill me!"

"You wanted this? Then here it is."

"And furthermore, I am willing to join the Human Empire as a divine devotee of the Human Empire!"

"Only ask the Qing Di to spare my life!"

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu stared at each other, then shared a smile.
