166: Chapter 166: The Priest

"Ten... ten spirit rings?"

"I have never heard of anyone possessing ten spirit rings. What kind of powerful being is this?"

Whether it was the Star Luo Empire or the Spirit Empire camp, both sides were plunged into extreme shock.

Soldiers looked up one after another at the figure suspended in the air, with whispers rising and falling.

Ten spirit rings were beyond the cognitive scope of the vast majority of people present.

Only a few powerful beings who knew of the true existence of gods understood that the figure in the air was, in fact, a god.

The figure in the air was precisely the God Official sent by the Sea God.

He overlooked the two camps below, his gaze ultimately landing in the direction of the Spirit Empire, his voice resounding throughout the entire battlefield: "Spirit Empire, retreat immediately!"

His main purpose for this trip was to kill Ji Xuan, while making the Spirit Empire retreat was merely an incidental favor to befriend the future Sea God, Tang San.

As soon as the God Official spoke, the Star Luo Empire camp erupted in an uproar!

"Hahaha! Heaven blesses Star Luo! Heaven blesses Star Luo!"

A scorching brilliance burst forth in the eyes of the Emperor of Star Luo.

He now knew that gods truly existed, and now this god who had suddenly appeared had actually chosen to stand on the side of the Star Luo Empire; the outcome of this war was no longer certain.

"Pass my order: the entire army is to prepare, ready to cooperate with the actions of the divine adult at any moment!" The Emperor of Star Luo ordered loudly, his voice filled with excitement.

Conversely, in the Spirit Empire camp, countless soldiers looked at each other, their originally high morale instantly dropping by more than half.

Standing at the front of the army, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's expression changed drastically, and he shrieked: "The Spirit Empire will never retreat!"

They had spent months to reach this step, and the great cause of unifying the continent was within reach; how could they give up just because of some guy who suddenly appeared?

Moreover, this was a task personally entrusted by Your Majesty; even if they died, they could not shrink back!

"That's right! Spirit Empire, never retreat!"

Qianjun Douluo held the Coiling Dragon Rod and looked up at the God Official in the air with fury.

Beside him, Demon Subduing Douluo also gripped his Coiling Dragon Rod, looking as though he were ready to face death.

Not far away, Ning Fengzhi had a grave expression, his brows tightly locked.

He had thought this war had reached its final juncture and that the Spirit Empire held the victory, yet such a variable had suddenly appeared.

He turned to look at Chen Xin beside him and said in a low voice: "Uncle Sword, the situation is not looking good."

Chen Xin stood at Ning Fengzhi's side, the Seven Kill Sword already in hand, his sharp Sword Intent ready to be unleashed.

"At this point, there is no way back."

Ning Fengzhi laughed bitterly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda quietly appearing in his palm: "I naturally understand. I will provide you with full amplification in a moment."

The God Official gave a disdainful chuckle, his eyes filled with contempt:

"Heh, a bunch of ants. Since you are stubborn and unyielding, do not blame this god for taking action!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances; years of tacit understanding meant they did not need to say more.

The two shouted in unison: "Two Extremes Static Domain!"

The light of the Domain instantly expanded, enveloping the God Official in the air.

However, the next second.

The moment the Domain of the two, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, touched the God Official's body, it shattered with a boom.

The God Official's figure did not move, nor did his expression even change; he merely raised his hand casually and struck out with his palm through the air toward the two.

Divine Power flowed through his palm; there were no fancy techniques, yet it carried a momentum that crushed everything.

With a muffled bang.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei groaned in unison, fresh blood spraying from their mouths, their bodies flying backward like kites with broken strings, crashing into the army formation behind.

The two struggled a few times but could no longer stand up, their auras instantly withering to the extreme.

One strike, and the two, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, were heavily injured.

The Spirit Empire soldiers fell into instant silence, followed by irrepressible agitation; their morale plummeted.

In the hearts of ordinary soldiers, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were already incomparably powerful beings.

Yet such powerful beings could not even withstand a single strike?

Just at this moment, Qian Jun and Demon Subduing both leaped up holding their Coiling Dragon Rods, pouncing toward the God Official.

On the other side, Chen Xin also moved, holding the Seven Kill Sword and turning into a stream of light, launching a surprise attack from the flank.

Ning Fengzhi stood in place, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floating before him, three brilliant beams of amplification light landing precisely on the three.

He had pushed his amplification ability to the limit.

Having received the amplification, the auras of the three instantly surged, their speed and power increasing several times over.

Qianjun Douluo roared, his ninth Spirit Ability attacking the God Official: "So what if you are a god? Take this rod from me!"

Demon Subduing Douluo circled from the other side, Soul Power condensing on his Coiling Dragon Rod as he also launched his strongest Spirit Ability.

Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword erupted with extreme Sword Intent.

But even so, facing the God Official who possessed Divine Power, the three of them still appeared vulnerable.

In just a single encounter.

The God Official's attack landed on the three.

The three groaned and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

All three of them no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

This was the gap between gods and Mortals, an uncrossable chasm between Divine Power and Soul Power.

This God Official was merely the weakest existence in the Divine Realm.

Yet even so, to the Mortals of the Douluo Continent, he was still like the bright moon in the sky.

Seeing that several Title Douluo had all been defeated, the Spirit Empire's army formation fell into complete chaos, and the morale that had been barely supported just moments ago collapsed instantly.

Soldiers looked at each other with eyes full of panic, and many had already started thinking of retreating.

The Star Luo Empire side, however, was completely different; long-suppressed emotions erupted instantly, cheers rose and fell, and morale soared to its peak.

The soldiers' eyes flashed with fanaticism, looking at the God Official as if gazing upon a savior.

The Emperor of Star Luo watched this scene, also feeling incredibly excited; fortunately, that god was on their side.

The God Official looked at the scene below with satisfaction, a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the withering Chrysanthemum and Ghost, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and raised his hand, intending to condense Divine Power to execute them completely.

In his view, these ants who resisted him had no right to live.

Just as the Spirit Empire was plunged into despair.

"Heh."

A very light scoff sounded in everyone's ears.

The God Official's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned his head violently to look in the direction the voice came from, his eyes full of vigilance: "Who?!"

The next moment, a pitch-black rift suddenly tore open in the space not far in front of him.

A tall, straight figure stepped out from the space rift.

The newcomer had hair as black as ink and was dressed in a black and gold dragon robe.

His face was handsome, his eyes indifferent, and he carried an imperial majesty that looked down upon the world; it was the Emperor of the Spirit Empire, Ji Xuan.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Spirit Empire saw this and knelt in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

The previous agitation and panic dissipated by more than half in an instant.

"Rise." Ji Xuan said indifferently.

His gaze fell upon Yue Guan and the others who were heavily injured on the ground.
