139: Kill Demigod

The Fire Kirin, having stepped out of the teleportation array, naturally noticed the man as well. Feeling the intense killing intent emanating from him, it immediately tensed its body.

This must be the demigod who had repeatedly slain the Archbishops.

Just then, the roof of the grand cathedral exploded, and a long spear thrust straight down.

The Fire Kirin, prepared for this, leaped up abruptly, its sharp claws precisely striking the spearhead.

"Heaven Burning Chains"

Countless chains of flame erupted from the Fire Kirin's body, coiling around the man like long serpents.

The man hadn't expected such a powerful protector beside the Archbishop. Seeing the chains rapidly approaching, he hastily wielded his long spear to block.

The long spear transformed into a sky full of spear shadows, accurately striking each chain and shattering them all.

Then, the spear shadows continued to envelop the Fire Kirin like a torrential downpour, sealing off all its evasion space.

A golden light flashed beneath the Fire Kirin's feet as it activated the "Sacred Kirin Steps" to instantly flash out of the spear shadow's range, then opened its mouth and spewed a grey-black breath containing destructive energy.

Facing this terrifying breath, the man dared not be negligent and immediately unfurled his domain.

A silver-white domain spread from the man's body, rapidly extending outwards.

Seeing the two powerhouses locked in battle, the Archbishops and their group quickly retreated to the side, clearing the battlefield.

The silver-white domain swiftly enveloped the Fire Kirin, filling with countless illusory long spears that rapidly shot towards it.

The Fire Kirin glanced at this rudimentary domain with disdain. Intense flames surged from its body, and a fiery red domain overflowed fiercely.

The flame domain forcefully pushed aside the silver-white domain, quickly occupying all nearby areas.

The man clearly hadn't expected that his domain, cultivated for many years, would be inferior to that of a beast.

However, this was not the time to dwell on such matters. If he didn't take action, he might fall into another's domain.

He raised the long spear in his hand, and the power of law condensed within it.

"Penetrate!"

The man roared, and the long spear in his hand swiftly thrust out.

The Fire Kirin sensed the sharpness within it and once again activated "Sacred Kirin Steps" to evade the attack.

With a flash of its body, the Fire Kirin appeared behind the man, once again condensing destructive energy in its mouth, intending to spew another breath.

However, before its breath could be released, it felt a sudden sharp pain in its body.

Looking down, it saw a blood hole gushing blood.

Although the Fire Kirin had not sustained significant damage, it was somewhat surprised. It had clearly dodged the attack, so why was it still injured?

Seeing this move succeed, the man couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"It's useless, stop struggling. Under my Law of Penetration, no matter how you dodge, it's useless."

His attack could penetrate space and time, which was why the Fire Kirin couldn't dodge it.

However, before he could celebrate for long, he saw the wound on the Fire Kirin's chest rapidly heal, leaving no trace.

This made his expression extremely grim. He knew that this move was the strongest attack he could unleash, yet now it seemed somewhat weak.

"This law is a bit interesting, but not much."

The Fire Kirin replied with a hint of mockery, not caring much for this so-called Law of Penetration.

Although this law had its unique aspects, it couldn't be a decisive factor and wouldn't cause much harm to the Fire Kirin.

The flame domain swiftly enveloped the man, sealing his defeat.

The man, regaining his composure, his heart sank, and he reacted immediately.

"Penetrate!"

The long spear in his hand once again condensed the power of law and thrust towards the edge of the domain, intending to break through it.

The instant the long spear passed through, the flame domain was indeed pierced by the Law of Penetration, but only for a moment. Immediately afterward, the flames filled in as before.

The tiny flaw created in that instant was not enough for the man to escape. He was about to unleash his full power to tear apart the domain but found it was too late.

Countless flame spears shot from all directions, and the man frantically swung his long spear to block.

This was also the Fire Kirin's mischievous pleasure, wanting the man to experience how its imitated move felt.

The man had no time to appreciate the move. The long spear in his hand quickly blocked the flame spears, but facing attacks from all 360 degrees, his blocking became stretched thin.

Soon, the man became flustered. Flame spears occasionally grazed various parts of his body, and some even pierced straight through him.

The contained flames rapidly corroded his entire body.

"Ah—"

The man's scream echoed throughout the entire grand cathedral, and he rapidly turned to dust amidst his wails.

Watching a seventh-tier corpse turn to dust before its eyes, the Fire Kirin felt great pity.

Its flames were good in every way, except they didn't easily leave behind spoils of war.

Fortunately, there was still a soul to hand over. Thinking this, it directly sent the man's soul back to the Abyss.

Ye Chen hadn't expected the Fire Kirin to deal with this demigod so quickly, and he immediately resurrected him.

The demigod's figure rapidly condensed, and his consciousness slowly returned.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an ocean. On the coastline were countless terrifying insects battling each other.

Looking up at the dim sky, a blood-red sun hung in the sky, and within it, a seemingly frail figure appeared to be wailing in pain.

Before he could figure out the situation, Ye Chen directly pulled him forward, ready to question him.

Looking at the young man seated on the throne before him, the man seemed to realize something.

He was not unfamiliar with this person. He had seen this man's divine statue in the Abyss Cathedral; He was the Lord of the Abyss, whom the Abyss Church had always worshipped.

He hadn't expected to encounter Him under these circumstances. So, was he... in the Abyss?

Had he gained the power of eternal life?

The man was clearly somewhat confused. He had never joined the Abyss Church, so why was he in the Abyss after death?

Ye Chen did not explain, directly asking, "Tell me the intelligence you have on the Satch World."

Upon hearing this, the man involuntarily opened his mouth and recounted everything he knew.

The Satch World had indeed originally contained many gods. The divine thrones of these gods had transformed into stars, hanging high in the starry sky.

However, for some unknown reason, a thousand years ago, the stars representing the gods rapidly extinguished within a short period, completely without warning.

And their believers also lost the ability to cast divine spells; their Lord could no longer respond to them.

This phenomenon also terrified the demigods who were preparing to ascend to godhood.

If they couldn't figure out the reason for the gods' disappearance, then choosing to break through at that time would simply be courting death.

Thus, all the demigods successively restrained their aura, hiding in various corners of the world, waiting for the opportune moment.

It wasn't until decades or even a century passed that the gods still hadn't returned, and their believers completely lost their power, becoming ordinary mortals who aged and died.

At this point, the demigods couldn't sit still and began to lay out plans, wanting to carve up the large cake that was the Satch World.

One must know that the various laws of the Satch World were very complete. If the gods fell, then these demigods could take the opportunity to steal divine authority and become new gods!
