175: Everything is destined (Part 2)

The combat power of Karma Fire Venerable was not comparable to that of an ordinary God of Karma Fire; holding a divine artifact, his combat power was not much weaker than that of a typical Lower God of the Federation.

But it was only not weaker; the gap in rule strength was too great, and only by holding a divine artifact could he barely bridge the gap.

Karma Fire Venerable's divine artifact was an ancient lamp, which burned Karma Fire and was a Lower God artifact.

"Annihilation·Dao Oblivion"

God Lin Chen did not waste any more words with Karma Fire Venerable; eliminating Karma Fire Venerable was a crucial part of the plan.

Karma Fire Venerable sensed the terrifying nature of God Lin Chen's attack and did not dare to take it head-on, much less be tainted by it in the slightest.

The Karma Fire in his ancient lamp rapidly expanded, transforming into a line of fire that collided with God Lin Chen, who was charging at him with a spear.

The line of Karma Fire did have some substance, but it was only some substance; encountering the Void Annihilation Power and Dao Fall Power, it was dissolved without any obstruction.

No sooner said than done, God Lin Chen had already thrust his spear into the ancient lamp, and before Karma Fire Venerable could react, the ancient lamp shattered into dust, and the origin of this divine artifact was also devoured by the Void Annihilation Spear; specifically, it was devoured by the Dao Oblivion Sprout hidden within the spear.

With the ancient lamp divine artifact shattered, Karma Fire Venerable suffered a backlash, and his entire aura weakened significantly.

This ancient lamp was Karma Fire Venerable's opportunity to become a god, and his life was intertwined with it; when the ancient lamp shattered, he naturally would not feel well, and the decline in his cultivation was just the beginning.

God Lin Chen did not give Karma Fire Venerable a chance to react and continued to thrust his spear.

With this thrust, he also incorporated the inevitable Causality Power, giving Karma Fire Venerable no chance to survive.

In a battle, it's either evenly matched, where neither can do anything to the other, or it's pure suppression, where you instantly kill me, or I instantly kill you.

Evidently, the battle between God Lin Chen and Karma Fire Venerable was God Lin Chen instantly killing Karma Fire Venerable; with a Foundation Level supreme treasure in hand, even if it couldn't exert much power, it was still not something an ordinary Lower God artifact could withstand, nor was it something an ordinary Lower God could contend with.

Karma Fire Venerable didn't expect himself to be killed so easily; he seemed to be no different from the other Gods of Karma Fire who were instantly killed by a single spear thrust, at most, it just made God Lin Chen use one more spear.

The fall of Karma Fire Venerable greatly dampened the morale of the Gods of Karma Fire; God Lin Chen was too powerful, bringing too much oppressive pressure to the Gods of Karma Fire.

The Gods of Karma Fire felt the urge to retreat, but they were firmly held back by the Five-Colored Dragon Gods.

The current situation could be described as a turning point; the Five-Colored Dragon Gods would not let go of the Gods of Karma Fire who wanted to leave, and even if they had to pay some price, they had to firmly hold back the Gods of Karma Fire.

"Dragon God brothers, you first hold back these invaders; I will go help An Bole brother."

"Let me see how strong the opponent An Bole brother encountered is, that he could hold him back and even make him bow his head and ask me for help."

God Lin Chen said to the Five-Colored Dragon Gods present, and then he soared into the sky, entering the battlefield of Red Dragon Lord and Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio.

The Five-Colored Dragon Gods present, hearing God Lin Chen say this, fought even harder against the Gods of Karma Fire, and the intensity of the battle between both sides escalated to another level.

"It's our turn to enter."

At this moment, Faith Lin Chen and Mirror Lin Chen also broke through the world barrier and entered the Five-Colored Dragon World, rapidly approaching the battlefield.

The arrival of new external forces made both the Five-Colored Dragon Gods and the Gods of Karma Fire, who were fighting each other, vigilant, praying that they were not helpers called by the other side; even if they were new invaders, it would be much better than being the opponent's helpers.

"I am the God of the Mortal World, vile false dragons, die!"

Faith Lin Chen immediately declared his identity upon speaking, and the initially nervous Gods of Karma Fire, upon hearing the title of God of the Mortal World, knew that these were their helpers.

Although the power behind the Dust World Sect also harbored ill intentions towards the Ye Huo World, the Dust World Sect was ultimately rooted in the Ye Huo World, and when facing external enemies, it still belonged to the same camp as the Ye Huo World.

The hearts of the Five-Colored Dragon Gods sank; the current situation was somewhat unfavorable to them, and they looked forward even more to Red Dragon Lord's battle quickly reaching a conclusion, for the king to return and save them.

Faith Lin Chen's current combat power was not strong; without the blessing of a divine artifact, he relied more on Causality Power to fight, ranking last in combat power among the main body and clones, but even so, he still possessed the combat power of a weak Lower God.

Mirror Lin Chen's combat power was quite good; he was a divine artifact clone, naturally able to mobilize the power of the Upper God artifact illusion dream mirror, and with the power of the illusion dream mirror, he could easily fight ten opponents at once.

The two cooperated with each other; upon entering the battlefield, Mirror Lin Chen pulled ten Five-Colored Dragon Gods into the illusion dream mirror space, creating an independent battlefield.

Meanwhile, Faith Lin Chen provided support from the side, mobilizing a large amount of Causality Power to mark the Five-Colored Dragon Gods in the illusion dream mirror space, bestowing upon them the inevitable fate of death.

Outside, the combat power of ten Gods of Karma Fire was unleashed; they did not hesitate at all and immediately joined the battles of the other Gods of Karma Fire, once again forming a situation of outnumbering the opponent.

High in the sky, Red Dragon Lord was severely wounded at this moment.

God Lin Chen, who charged up, without any hesitation, accurately struck Red Dragon Lord with a spear, injecting Dao Fall Power into his body, giving him a continuous cultivation regression debuff.

Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio also stopped pretending; they unleashed their full combat power and mercilessly attacked the fallen foe.

"You tricked me!"

Red Dragon Lord was stunned by the sudden burst of power from Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio.

Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio, who were now attacking, were in their full state; before, they were merely feigning, and with the three of them attacking with full force, it wouldn't take long to eliminate Red Dragon Lord, who had been depleted for a long time and had a cultivation regression debuff.

God Lin Chen did not intervene further in the subsequent battle; he merely feigned battle fluctuations from the side to deceive the gods of both realms on the battlefield below.

He was not merely watching; when the gods of both realms fought, he would project wisps of Dao Fall Power into their bodies, silently applying a cultivation regression debuff to them.

The wisps of Dao Fall Power didn't have much effect, but this was just a trigger, meant to facilitate God Lin Chen's absorption of their cultivation later.

As for the illusion dream mirror space, the ten Dragon Gods were being played with, trapped within, with only death as their outcome.

Mirror Power's direct combat ability was not strong, but its indirect combat ability was extremely strong; as long as there was enough patience, it could even trap enemies to death.

Moreover, Mirror Lin Chen and Faith Lin Chen were not in a hurry to eliminate the ten Dragon Gods; their lives were perfect for cultivating Dao Fall Power, and there was no need to kill them directly, which would be somewhat wasteful.

Another half-day passed.

Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio had beaten Red Dragon Lord to a near-death state, and they themselves had some consumption; after all, enduring attacks of a Middle God level was somewhat of a burden for them.

"An Bole brother, I will take your life; I will remember your contribution."

God Lin Chen thrust his spear, and the Dao Oblivion Sprout hidden within the spear exerted its power, extracting Red Dragon Lord's cultivation to strengthen itself.

Red Dragon Lord's life was indeed quite tenacious; enduring the pain of his cultivation being devoured, he still did not die, his pair of dragon eyes staring fixedly at God Lin Chen, the hatred within almost overflowing.

He knew he was doomed to die, but he also didn't want God Lin Chen to have an easy time.

"I, An Bole, sacrifice my dragon soul and pray to the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, cursing you to have continuous bad luck in this life and to die the same way as me!"

Red Dragon Lord chose to sacrifice himself to cast a curse on God Lin Chen.

The Five-Colored Dragon Mother, a Foundation Level existence of the Five-Colored Dragon Race, one of the origins of the Five-Colored Dragons, a very powerful existence.

However, God Lin Chen would not let the sacrifice succeed; with such an obvious casting pre-requisite, he had nine ways to stop it.

The moment before Red Dragon Lord's soul was sacrificed, God Lin Chen had already extracted his soul from his body and sealed it into the Human Sovereign Banner.

As early as when God Lin Chen eliminated the thirteen Gods of Karma Fire, the Human Sovereign Banner had absorbed enough god-level souls and had already begun to transform towards the divine artifact level; now, with an additional dragon soul, the transformation speed greatly increased.

Lin Chen's natal military weapon, the Human Sovereign Banner, which he received from the military a few years ago, was finally about to upgrade to the Lower God artifact level, barely keeping up with Lin Chen's growth rate, and also had a chance to appear.

Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio, having recovered some of their state, saw God Lin Chen dealing with Red Dragon Lord and did not stay to watch the show but instead charged into the battlefield below to capture the remaining twenty Five-Colored Dragon Gods.

The Five-Colored Dragon Gods saw Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio appear unharmed, while Red Dragon Lord and God Lin Chen, who had helped them before, had their auras disappear; without any hesitation, they used the most violent means to repel their opponents and fled for their lives without looking back.

The remaining Five-Colored Dragon Gods already knew they had lost; all they could do now was flee, preserve themselves, and hope to seek revenge in the future.

Unfortunately, their fate was already sealed.

Falling was their ultimate destination.
