182: Chapter Dying Promise

Billions of bolts of lightning descended, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, and the power of the Great Path seemed to be drained by Ye Kong, as the Void Realm let out a series of hisses.

The people of the Capital had never witnessed such a terrifying sight! The end of the world could be no more than this!

If the Great Path Divine Lightning were to strike the ground, the entire Ye Manor would be utterly destroyed!

“If you won’t let me see Liting, then all of you shall be buried with her!”

Ye Kong continued to summon Divine Lightning, and billions of bolts of Divine Lightning descended upon the God Ancestor.

The God Ancestor held up both hands to the sky, fully resisting this world-ending sea of Divine Lightning!

As Ye Kong summoned the Divine Lightning, he could quickly feel his body growing weaker and weaker.

Although at the Peak Honored One Realm, his True Qi was almost infinite, the True Qi consumed by billions of bolts of Divine Lightning was also almost infinite!

This strike had to take down the God Ancestor!

Otherwise, he might not be able to see Liting!

The God Ancestor’s figure was gradually engulfed by the sea of thunder.

Almost everyone was making terrified sounds.

“Could it be that the God Ancestor is really going to be defeated by Ye Kong?”

“Impossible, how could such a thing happen!”

“No one has ever been able to defeat a God in the Honored One Realm!”

“Ye Kong cut off a God’s arm before, but that was just luck; if they really fought, a God could not lose!”

Although people simply couldn’t believe that Ye Kong could defeat the God Ancestor, the Ye Family God’s body was indeed submerged by the sea of thunder!

Even those who were most pessimistic about Ye Kong now began to doubt whether the Ye Family’s God Ancestor truly had the ability to survive the sea of thunder.

Just as the clouds and thunder rolled and billions of bolts of Divine Lightning descended, three powerful God auras suddenly rose from the Capital!

“What is this aura?”

“It’s the Old Ancestors of the other three God Families among the Four Great Families of the Capital!”

“What’s happening? Are the Gods from the other Families going to intervene as well?”

The Four Great Divine Families of the Capital were in a competitive relationship, but in the face of the threat from other races, they were united in the broader sense.

A Dragon’s roar came from the direction of the Long Family!

Soon, the other two God Families also sent their messages.

“Ye Kong! Stop! If you cause a loss in the Human Race’s combat power, how will you take responsibility!”

The other races and the Human Race had long-standing grievances; if it weren't for the many Gods protecting the Human Race, the other races would have attacked long ago.

When the number of Gods reaches a certain point, the scope of their battles will be very large, like a nuclear war—not an inch of land on the continent would be spared.

A terrifying balance had been achieved in the number of Gods between the Human Race and other races, but the fall of any one God could cause the balance to tip.

The Four Great Divine Families would not allow such a thing to happen.

Although the Gods of the other three God Families did not believe Ye Kong had the ability to kill the Ye Family God Ancestor, they had to prevent it from happening now.

Soon, a Golden Dragon flew out from the Long Family’s direction, soaring straight into the sky.

That was the Divine Ancestor of the Long Family’s ultimate skill!

The Divine Dragon flew into the rolling thunderclouds, stirring up the wind and clouds, and scattering the Divine Lightning!

Ye Kong’s heart stirred; the Divine Lightning in the clouds began to become uncontrollable!

No matter how powerful Ye Kong was, he couldn't simultaneously contend with two Gods at the Honored One Realm!

He knew this very well, and watching his Divine Lightning weaken, Ye Kong felt the deep malice from this world!

Liting, with what can I come to see you?

The Ye Family God Ancestor had originally been suppressed by Ye Kong, but after receiving support from the Long Family, the Great Path Divine Lightning weakened, and he immediately got a chance to breathe!

The God Ancestor held up one hand to the sky, retracted the other to his chest, and silently chanted something.

Immediately after, his palm glowed brightly, and he struck out with it, the light tearing through the Void Realm and breaking through the Divine Lightning’s blockade!

A huge explosion!

The ripple of the explosion spread throughout the entire Capital!

People quickly dodged, grabbing nearby objects to avoid being swept away by the terrifying airflow!

Ye Kong’s mouth was full of blood, and he struggled to cry out: “Liting.”

Immediately after, Ye Kong’s exhausted body was also blown away by the airflow!

“Brother Ye——”

In the air, Ye Kong seemed to faintly hear Ye Liting’s voice.

Was it really an illusion?

Ye Kong slowly closed his eyes.

He had tried his best to find Ye Liting’s whereabouts, but in the end, he still couldn’t see her!

The God Ancestor’s voice then came—

“Ye Kong, have you run out of moves?”

“Your time of death has come!”

A strong hand grabbed Ye Kong’s shoulder!

Ye Kong didn’t resist; in fact, he had no strength to resist. The power of a God was, after all, insurmountable!

Even if he died, Ye Kong would never regret it.

He was just very unwilling, unable to see Ye Liting one last time before his death.

Thinking this, Ye Kong suddenly felt a great force push him out.

Ye Kong hadn’t understood what was happening yet when his body crashed to the ground, rolling on the ground, leaving a trail of blood from being scraped by rubble.

The weak Ye Kong opened his heavy eyes, only to see a woman rushing to his side, shaking him vigorously.

He couldn’t quite make out what she was saying, but this face was so familiar.

Ye Kong opened his eyes a little wider, trying his best to see the woman’s face clearly, but the blood from his forehead flowed down, obstructing his vision.

Damn it, who exactly are you!

His ears seemed to be able to hear a little more clearly.

“Brother Ye!”

Ye Liting’s voice came through!

Is that you?

Liting!

Ye Kong grabbed the hand of the woman in front of him, very reluctantly opening his blood-covered eyes.

But he still couldn’t see clearly.

Footsteps, and then Ye Kong could feel a sharp pain in his stomach, having been kicked.

“Ye Kong, stop playing dead. You came to my Ye Family to find my sister, fighting to this extent, and now she’s right in front of you, so hurry up and do something!”

“Say whatever you need to say quickly!”

“If the God Ancestor finds out, all three of us will die!” This was the voice of Ye Yuanfeng, the Young Lord of the Ye Family!

Ye Kong was now very sure that the woman in front of him was Liting.

He quickly grabbed Ye Liting’s hands with both of his.

“Liting, is that you?”

“Brother Ye! It’s me!”

Receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Kong felt an unprecedented joy; everything was worth it!

Ye Kong coughed, feeling the coldness in his hands.

Why were her hands so cold!

Ye Kong carefully caressed Ye Liting’s hand; her skin was still very soft and smooth, but the temperature was too low, almost not like a living person’s hand.

Ye Kong quickly asked: “Liting, they said you were sick, what exactly happened to you!”

Ye Liting’s voice came: “Brother Ye, my Divine Meridian Eruption, it’s a Frigid Divine Meridian, and the frigid Qi is eroding my entire body.”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany Brother Ye…”

At this point, Ye Liting choked up.

Ye Yuanfeng added from the side: “This illness is one in a million; there has never been a precedent for a cure in history.”

“Alas, that is to say, it’s a terminal illness, and a Frigid Divine Meridian is often triggered by the pain of lovesickness.”

Ye Yuanfeng glared fiercely at Ye Kong, saying somewhat indignantly: “My poor sister got sick because of you, this bloodthirsty Asura!”

Ye Kong’s heart was in chaos, not knowing what to do.

“Is there absolutely no way to save her?”

Ye Yuanfeng shook his head and sighed: “Legend has it that there is a God of Life among other races, the chief of all Gods. If we can find the Spirit Medicine to treat the Frigid Divine Meridian, he might have a way to extend Liting’s life.”

“But the Human Race and other races have always been at odds; it’s impossible to ask the God of Life for help.”

“If we try to force him, it will trigger a war between the Human Race and other races, so the Family Head believes that my little sister simply has to die.”

“I was confined for arguing with my father.”

Ye Liting started to cry sadly, choking out: “Brother Ye, I’m not afraid of death, but just thinking about not being able to be with you, I can’t stop my tears…”

Listening to her, Ye Kong’s heart was breaking.

He wiped the blood from his eyes and struggled to stand up from the ground.

“Liting, don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to save you!”

Ye Liting nodded and threw herself into Ye Kong’s arms.

More words were useless; Ye Kong prepared to set off immediately to find a solution. Although he had no clue right now, he would definitely give his all.

Even if it meant fighting with Gods!

Ye Kong remembered something and asked Ye Yuanfeng: “Did you save me just now? Why?”

Ye Yuanfeng snorted coldly, saying: “You’re just lucky.”

He paused, then Ye Yuanfeng still told the truth: “Not to save you, I just want to save my sister. Father doesn’t agree to me going to find the God of Life of other races, and I indeed don’t have that combat power.”

“But Ye Kong, you might have a way. Although I don’t know how you got to where you are today, judging by your performance today, I think a miracle might happen with you!”

“To save my sister, I’ve decided to bet on you.” Ye Kong nodded, believing Ye Yuanfeng’s words.

“Alright then, send me away, and I will definitely find a way to save Ye Liting!” Ye Liting, in Ye Kong’s arms, looked up, her bright, watery eyes sparkling with tears.

“Brother Ye…”

“Liting, you must take care! When I’m not around, you must look after yourself.”

Then Ye Kong looked at Ye Yuanfeng.

“I’m counting on you.”

Ye Yuanfeng said disdainfully: “Do I need you to tell me that!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yuanfeng moved!

Ye Kong, just like in the air, was grabbed by the shoulder by Ye Yuanfeng and flew out of the manor.

Faintly, he could hear Ye Liting’s calls and the God Ancestor’s message.

— “Ye Kong, where have you hidden! Come out!”

In a short while, Ye Kong was thrown down by Ye Yuanfeng like a little chick, crashing heavily onto a tree.

“I can only send you this far. If the God Ancestor finds out I helped you, I’ll surely die.”

“Get out of here quickly, don’t let my Ye Family’s guards find you!” Ye Kong gasped for air and thanked Ye Yuanfeng.

“Thank you, Brother Yuanfeng!”

Ye Yuanfeng turned around, then looked back and said solemnly: “It’s me who should thank you, Ye Kong, I’m counting on you!”

Afterward, Ye Yuanfeng quickly rushed back to the Ye Manor.

Ye Kong watched Ye Yuanfeng leave, coughed heavily a few times, and then fell from the tree.

Ye Kong looked at the trees around him, scorched black by the lightning, his heart filled with confusion.

Where was the Spirit Medicine, and where was the God of Life of all races?

Ye Kong dragged his weak body and walked into the forest.

He had to leave here first!
