The priests are mobilized! Despair! Is this their final trump card?

Cheers like a landslide or a tsunami erupted in every corner of the United Fleet!

Everyone was completely ignited by Lin Yuan's earth-shattering sword strike!

One sword strike to cleave the sea!

One sword strike to open the gate of heaven!

What Divine Might!

What grand power!

The Fear and despair brought about by the appearance of the Divine Officials earlier were slashed into oblivion by this single sword strike! All that remained was a fanatical worship originating from the deepest depths of their Soul!

With such a god-like existence presiding over them, what was there to Fear from a mere Divine Court?!

However, just as the morale of the entire United Fleet reached an unprecedented peak...

Upon that massive and sacred "gate of the divine kingdom" that Lin Yuan had split open, the tremors that had just subsided began to fluctuate violently once more!

Then!

Four terrifying auras—even more horrific, more profound, and more sinister than the previous three Divine Officials—shot out from that massive spatial rift like four bolts of black lightning!

They converged with the previous three Divine Officials; a total of seven figures now floated quietly in front of the "gate of the divine kingdom."

Seven distinct yet equally suffocating pressures overlapped, forming an absolute death Domain that would make even a Huagang Realm expert pale in Fear!

"Buzz—!"

At that moment, the United Fleet's intelligence analysis System issued an alarm, on the verge of overloading!

A piece of despair-inducing intelligence, jointly confirmed by major global intelligence agencies within seconds, appeared on the light screen in front of Su Li.

The Divine Court's highest combat power: the Twelve Divine Officials!

Several months ago, two were wiped out by Lin Yuan at the Longxia western ruins!

Within the past month, on secret battlefields around the world, two more were jointly strangled by the top forces of various countries at any cost!

Plus Ye Xuan's dead father...

Now, the Divine Court's final seven remaining Divine Officials had all appeared!

The leader's Aura was as deep as an abyss; he was actually in the Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm!

Of the remaining six, four were at the Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm, and two were at the Late Stage of Gathering Essence Realm!

This was the true trump card the Divine Court had held for a thousand years!

This was the ultimate reliance they had to despise the whole world and launch the "World-Ending" plan!

When this intelligence reached the communicators of every powerhouse, the fanatical atmosphere that had just boiled up was instantly doused by a bucket of ice water from the nine layers of Hell!

Dead silence.

A dead silence even more despairing than before.

If the previous lineup of one Huagang Realm Early Stage and two Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm was considered troublesome...

Then the current lineup of one Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm, four Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm, and two Late Stage of Gathering Essence Realm was a complete, insurmountable chasm!

How could they fight this?!

What could they possibly fight with?!

"Destroying my Lord's battleship, breaking my Lord's gateway..."

The Divine Official with the most terrifying Aura, the one at the Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm, spoke slowly.

His voice was hoarse and cold, as if countless aggrieved Souls were screaming.

"Ant, you have successfully enraged a god."

"Today, I will extract your Divine Soul and refine it for ten thousand years, letting you wail in endless pain for all eternity!"

As the words fell!

The seven Divine Officials moved!

Without the slightest hesitation, they split into two groups!

Four of the Divine Officials—two Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm and two at the Sixth Level of the Huagang Realm—

Like four black meteors, carrying playful and cruel smiles, charged toward the main camp of the United Fleet and the Prodigy powerhouses of various nations!

The remaining three top Divine Officials, including the leader at the Ninth Level of the Huagang Realm, instantly locked onto Lin Yuan, forming a lethal encirclement from three directions!

"Not good!"

In the Command Center, General Adams's eyes nearly split from strain as he saw this scene!

The Divine Court's goal was clear!

Use four Divine Officials to stall or even slaughter the active forces of the United Fleet!

Then, concentrate the three strongest to besiege and kill Lin Yuan at all costs!

They knew very well that as long as Lin Yuan died, there would be no suspense left in this war!

"Engage the enemy!!"

On Shield Island.

Several veteran generals who had been guarding the place, their Auras reaching the Gathering Origin Realm Eighth Level and ninth level, roared as they soared into the sky to meet the four Divine Officials!

However, before the two Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm Divine Officials, their resistance appeared so pale!

In just one exchange, an Old General from North Bear Country at the Gathering Origin Realm Eighth Level had his Protective Aura shattered by a Divine Official's palm, spitting blood as he was sent flying!

The battle instantly turned into a one-sided slaughter!

On the other side.

Facing the lethal encirclement of the three top Divine Officials, Lin Yuan's face still bore that calm and lazy expression.

He even had the leisure to curl his lip at the Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm Divine Official.

"Too much nonsense."

With that,

He moved!

Advancing instead of retreating!

Holding the cangming sword, his entire being turned into a golden stream of light as he proactively met the three Divine Officials!

"Seeking death!"

Seeing Lin Yuan dare to take the initiative, the Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm Divine Official's eyes flashed with Rage!

He curled his fingers into a claw, and a pitch-black energy claw print condensed with eighty percent of his power, carrying the terrifying might of tearing through space, clawed fiercely at Lin Yuan's chest!

However, facing this strike capable of instakilling someone of the same rank, Lin Yuan did not dodge or avoid it!

"Buzz!"

A layer of pale golden halo flashed across the surface of his skin!

The Primordial Chaos Sacred Body was operating at full power!

"Boom—!!!"

The pitch-black energy claw print slammed solidly into Lin Yuan's chest!

The horrific power, enough to tear through battleship armor, only caused Lin Yuan's body to pause slightly in mid-air!

He had actually withstood the strike with his Physical Body!

Unscathed!

"What?!"

The Divine Official's pupils suddenly constricted!

And in that instant of his shock!

The cangming sword in Lin Yuan's hand moved!

"Cangming Sword Intent, Silk Transformation!"

He gave the longsword in his hand a gentle shake.

The vast blue Sword Intent instantly decomposed, turning into thousands of blue sword threads thinner than a strand of hair yet incredibly tough!

These sword threads, as if possessed of life, instantly bypassed the Huagang Realm Divine Official in front and, like two giant spiderwebs, tightly bound the two Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm Divine Officials behind him who were preparing a sneak attack!

The two Divine Officials' expressions changed drastically as they frantically pushed their internal power, trying to break free.

But these seemingly thin sword threads contained a vast power like the ocean; no matter how they struggled, they could not break free in the slightest in such a short time!

In an instant, he had completed a hard-tanking move and neutralized two people!

Lin Yuan's combat awareness and adaptability were terrifying to the extreme!

Using the impact of that claw strike, his figure drifted backward like a ghost, creating a perfect attack distance.

Then, the vast golden Protective Aura within him erupted once more!

"Buzz—!"

Upon the blade of the cangming sword, the deep blue was instantly covered by a layer of domineering gold!

"Aura-Breaking Form!"

Lin Yuan gave a low shout, twisted his wrist, and a pure golden, incredibly sharp Sword Qi shot out from the sword!

This sword strike didn't have the grand Aura of the previous one, but it compressed all its power into a single, ultimate point!

Its sole purpose was—to break the Protective Aura!

The Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm Divine Official never expected Lin Yuan's counterattack to be so fast and so bizarre!

In his haste, he could only push his Protective Aura to the limit!

However, it was useless!

*Puchi!*

The soft sound of a blade entering flesh!

His Protective Aura, which was enough to withstand missile bombardment, was instantly pierced like thin paper before that golden Sword Qi!

A sword wound deep enough to see bone appeared on his left shoulder!

Black divine blood gushed out!

He was injured!

Less than a few seconds into the battle, the Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm Divine Official was actually injured!

"Aaaah! Ant! You deserve to die!!"

The intense pain and the humiliation of being wounded by an ant drove him into a complete frenzy!

However, Lin Yuan gave him no room to breathe!

Relying on the terrifying speed and recovery power brought by the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body, which far exceeded his Realm...

His whole being was like a butterfly flitting through flowers, weaving with ease between the three top Divine Officials at high speed!

"Clone Technique!"

With a flicker of his body, an afterimage identical to himself appeared instantly before the Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm Divine Official who had just broken free from the sword threads, and he thrust out with his sword!

The Divine Official was greatly alarmed and hurriedly defended with all his might!

But what he blocked was only an afterimage!

Lin Yuan's true body had already appeared behind him as if by teleportation!

"Spatial Teleportation!"

*Puchi!*

The cold cangming sword pierced through his heart from behind without any resistance!

The expression on the Divine Official's face instantly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Until the moment he died, he didn't understand how he had been killed.

With the strike successful, Lin Yuan didn't even glance at the falling corpse as his figure vanished again!

When he reappeared, he was already behind the enraged Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm Divine Official!

"Sword Domain!"

An invisible Domain filled with sharp Sword Intent unfolded with a bang!

It instantly enveloped the Divine Official!

Within that Domain, his movements, his Aura, and the circulation of his Protective Aura were all heavily suppressed!

"Now!"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes!

He didn't bother with the suppressed Huagang Realm Divine Official, but instead locked his target onto the last remaining Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm Divine Official!

The golden Protective Aura within him erupted at full power without reservation!

A sword strike was slashed out!

The Divine Official watched helplessly as that golden sword light of death expanded in his pupils!

He wanted to dodge, but found his body seemingly locked by ten thousand sharp swords, unable to move at all!

"No—!"

He let out the final, despairing roar of his life.

*Puchi!*

Blood light soared into the sky!

That top powerhouse at the Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm was cleanly sliced in half by Lin Yuan's sword!

In less than fifteen minutes...

Lin Yuan, with a cultivation of the Huagang Realm Early Stage,

Had reverse-slain three of the Divine Court's top Divine Officials!

Among them were two at the Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm, and he had heavily wounded a leader at the Mid-stage of the Transcendent Aura Realm!

As those two broken corpses fell from the high sky and crashed into the sea,

The entire noisy battlefield once again fell into a death-like silence.
