16: Chapter 16 The Descent of the Gods! Celestial Guards Block the Way, the Lord Sweeps Through the Divine Army Camps

Lin Chen held the Chaos Core in his hand and pressed it gently against the rift in the sky.

Golden light soared into the sky, the clouds burst open, and a Divine Realm light gate leading straight to the heavens slowly unfolded.

Inside the gate, auspicious clouds swirled, immortal palaces floated, golden pillars supported the heavens and earth, and a sacred aura flowed everywhere.

[System: Divine Realm passage opened, First Floor: South Heaven Gate Barracks]

[System: Divine Realm monster strength +800%, immune to normal crowd control]

[System: Cross-server + Divine Realm dual buff: All attributes of Hall of All Heavens members +50%]

Two thousand Hall of All Heavens players lined up neatly, the glow of their red and orange gear shining brighter than the auspicious clouds.

"The Divine Realm! We actually fought our way into the Divine Realm!"

"We only dared to watch the promotional videos before, but now we're stomping their home base flat!"

Lin Chen took the lead and stepped into the light gate.

His feet immediately landed on cold, golden divine bricks. A hundred meters ahead, a row of Heavenly God Guards clad in golden armor and holding long spears stood in a line, blocking the way.

The leader stood five meters tall, his helmet obscuring his face, his spear pointed straight at Lin Chen.

[System: Heavenly God Guard (God-tier), Level 30, HP 30,000]

[System: Gatekeeper General · Jin Ge (God-tier mini-boss), Level 32, HP 5 million]

Jin Ge's voice was as cold as a bell.

"Mortals, trespassing into the Divine Realm, death without pardon."

Iron Shield Little King stepped forward, his mythic armor glowing intensely.

"The Divine Realm is tough? We even slaughtered the cross-server overlords!"

"Get lost, or I'll hack you to pieces along with them!"

Jin Ge shouted angrily.

"Arrogant! Kill them for me!"

Dozens of Heavenly God Guards charged with their spears, the tips crackling with divine lightning, their speed so fast it was a blur.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

He raised his hand and swung the red-tier Chaos Dominator Halberd in a Sweep.

[System: Heavens Slash triggered, God-tier monster damage increased by 600%]

Squelch!

Twelve Heavenly God Guards in the front were cut in half at the waist, divine blood splashing onto the golden brick floor.

[System: Lin Chen killed Heavenly God Guard x12, obtained God-tier EXP x30,000]

The players' morale instantly peaked.

"Brother Chen one-shot God-tier mobs! Too fierce!"

"God-tier monsters are like paper in front of Brother Chen!"

As the words fell, Brute No. 1 dual-wielded his red-tier war halberds and charged, the power of chaos exploding.

[System: Red-tier gear combo effect triggered, AOE kill elite monsters x8]

Iron Shield Little King raised his shield to take three divine spears head-on; sparks flew, but his feet didn't move an inch.

"This armor doesn't even lose HP against God-tier attacks! Brother Chen's gear is invincible!"

Monsters fell in droves, and white leveling-up lights erupted one after another.

[System: Lying Flat Player leveled up! Current level 18!]

[System: Ice Emperor leveled up! Current level 20!]

[System: Fireball Dharma King leveled up! Current level 20!]

Lying Flat Player hugged his God-tier healing staff and jumped high.

"I can even lie flat and win in the Divine Realm! Lord Big Shot is the GOAT!"

"My level is higher than the big shots in the main city; who would believe it if I told them!"

Seeing his subordinates wiped out, the gatekeeper Jin Ge trembled with rage.

He gripped his divine spear, leaped into the air, and condensed lightning at the tip.

"Divine Thunder Breaking Demon Spear!"

A hundred-meter lightning spear blasted toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn't dodge or evade; a golden shield automatically appeared in front of him.

[System: Mythic Set passive · Divine Protection triggered, immune to all God-tier damage]

The lightning spear smashed against the shield and shattered instantly.

"My turn."

Lin Chen said faintly.

Seeing this, Lin Chen took a step, and his figure instantly appeared above Jin Ge's head.

The Chaos Dominator Halberd slashed down fiercely.

[System: Critical Hit! Damage 688,000!]

Jin Ge couldn't even let out a scream; his divine armor shattered, and his body was split in two.

[System: Lin Chen killed Divine Realm Gatekeeper · Jin Ge]

[System: Server-wide + Cross-server dual announcement: Lin Chen makes the first kill of a Divine Realm BOSS!]

Golden light erupted!

The ground was instantly covered in divine gear!

Golden light armor, God-tier weapons, Divine Crystals, skill books, and even a Divine Realm Pass.

The players exploded instantly.

"Divine gear! This is real divine gear!"

"First kill of a Divine Realm BOSS! We've set another server-wide record!"

"The ground is covered in divine gear, I can't pick it all up! Brother Chen killing monsters is like handing out benefits!"

Lin Chen bent down to pick up all the drops, and the system panel scrolled crazily.

[Divine Heaven Golden Armor (Divine Gear): Defense +3000, Divine Damage Reduction +60%]

[God-Breaking Spear (Orange Gear · God-tier): Attack +5000, Damage to Divine Monsters +200%]

[Divine Realm Pass: Can enter the Divine Realm central area]

[Divine Crystal x1 million, God-tier skill book x8]

He threw the Divine Heaven Golden Armor to Iron Shield Little King and the God-Breaking Spear to Brute No. 1.

"Equip them, keep tanking in the Divine Realm."

The two were trembling with excitement and immediately equipped the new divine gear, their auras instantly soaring to God-tier.

The team continued deeper into the Divine Realm barracks.

Along the way, God-tier guards, Divine Archers, and Thunder Mages kept respawning, all of them God-tier units above level 30.

Normal players would die instantly upon entering, but in front of the Hall of All Heavens, it was no different from cutting vegetables.

"Shield guards hold the line, ranged clear the field!"

Lin Chen's command was concise and powerful.

Every swing of the Chaos Dominator Halberd cleared out a patch of divine monsters.

[System: Lin Chen kill streak x99, triggered Ragnarok buff, all divine monster defense reduced to zero]

The players' damage output was completely unleashed.

Ice Emperor's God-tier ice magic froze the entire field, Fireball Dharma King's Divine Fire incinerated everything, and under the cover of arrow rain, God-tier monsters couldn't even get close.

[System: Player Cannot Be Healed to Death leveled up! Current level 21!]

[System: Hall of All Heavens average level exceeded level 20!]

Deep in the Divine Realm barracks, a huge divine military camp stood, with two hundred-meter-high bronze divine general statues at the entrance.

[System: Divine Realm Barracks BOSS — Bronze Divine General (Ancient God-tier), Level 35, HP 8.88 million]

Boom!

Both statues cracked open simultaneously, and the Bronze Divine General holding a giant axe stepped out.

His whole body was covered in thick bronze armor, the axe blade gleaming with bronze divine light, his aura so heavy it crushed the air.

Terrifying pressure washed over them.

The players' expressions changed slightly.

"8.88 million HP! Ancient God-tier BOSS!"

"This BOSS is way too tanky! I only do 1 damage per hit!"

The Bronze Divine General swung his giant axe, and even space was split open.

Six players in the front were instantly killed, white lights flashing.

[System: Player killed by Bronze Divine General!]

Several people ran back from the Divine Realm resurrection point, looking devastated.

"I'm tired of running from resurrection! Divine Realm BOSSes are too unreasonable!"

"I just put on divine gear and got one-shot, my life is so hard!"

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

"Everyone retreat fifty meters, healers max out shields."

He activated his ultimate triple form, and three pairs of light wings unfolded amidst the auspicious clouds of the Divine Realm, the power of red gear and divine gear perfectly fused.

[System: God-tier form activated, damage to Ancient God-tier monsters +1000%]

"Mortals, desecrating the Divine Realm, must enter purgatory." The Bronze Divine General roared.

Lin Chen couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense.

"Noisy."

He leaped a hundred meters into the air, the Chaos Dominator Halberd held high above his head.

The power of the Heavens, the power of Chaos, the power of the Divine, the three merged into one!

"Ultimate · Judgment of All Gods!"

A ten-thousand-meter-long seven-colored halberd radiance descended from the sky, shattering the auspicious clouds and slamming onto the Bronze Divine General's head.

[System: Ultimate finishing move! Damage 1,688,888!]

[System: Bronze Divine General HP cleared!]

Boom!!!

The hundred-meter divine general's body exploded instantly, bronze fragments scattered in all directions, and God-tier equipment fell like rain.

[System: Lin Chen killed Ancient God-tier BOSS Bronze Divine General]

[System: Divine Realm Barracks fully cleared! Unlocked Divine Realm central authority!]

[System: Lin Chen leveled up! Current level 28!]

[System: Hall of All Heavens obtained Divine Realm territory: South Heaven Gate Stronghold!]

Golden light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire Divine Realm.

Server-wide + Cross-server + Divine Realm triple announcements scrolled crazily.

All servers, all main cities, all Divine Realm NPCs saw a line of text:

Player Lin Chen, swept the Divine Realm barracks, becoming the number one god-human of the Heavens!

The players exploded instantly.

"Cleared the Divine Realm barracks! We are number one in the whole server!"

"Divine gear exploded all over the ground! Everyone can get a share!"

"Brother Chen has directly become a god! No one in the Heavens can beat him anymore!"

Lin Chen waved his hand to collect the massive amount of divine gear, the most dazzling being a seven-colored divine robe and a fragment of the blade of creation.

[Seven-Colored Divine Robe (God-tier · Unique): All attributes +10,000, immune to all negative effects]

[blade of creation fragment: Collect three to synthesize the ultimate artifact]

[God-tier set x5, Divine Crystal x5 million, Cross-server summon talisman x10]

He distributed all the God-tier sets to the core members, and all members of the Hall of All Heavens were geared up with God-tier equipment.

[System: Hall of All Heavens total combat power exceeded 100,000, becoming the number one force in the Heavens!]

Above the clouds of the Divine Realm, countless hidden God-tier NPCs, Ancient Guardians, and cross-server big shots all looked toward Lin Chen's direction in shock.

This Lord who had fought his way up from being a mortal had already touched the ceiling of the Heavens.

Lin Chen stood at the highest point of the South Heaven Gate Stronghold, overlooking the entire Divine Realm.

Auspicious clouds rolled beneath his feet, immortal palaces stood in the distance, and deeper inside was the residence of the Divine Realm ruler — the Hall of All Gods.

There lived the true top-tier gods of the Heavens, and they were his next target.

Only by stomping the Hall of All Gods flat and killing the Divine Realm ruler could he gain a firm foothold in the Heavens.

Lin Chen said faintly: "Rest for one hour, everyone equip your divine gear, next, we attack the Hall of All Gods."

The players roared in unison, their voices shaking the clouds of the Divine Realm.

"Attack the Hall of All Gods!"

"Kill the Divine Realm ruler!"

"Hall of All Heavens unifies the three realms!"

Lying Flat Player leaned against a divine pillar, giggling while gnawing on a God-tier health recovery pill.

"From lying flat in the newbie village to the Divine Realm, I've directly become a winner in life!"

Brute No. 1 dual-wielded his red-tier + divine-tier war halberds, slashing until the air cracked.

"Divine Realm ruler! I've booked your dog head!"

Lin Chen looked up toward the direction of the Hall of All Gods, his eyes as sharp as knives.

The sky of the Divine Realm needed to change.

The rules of the Heavens should be set by him.

The ultimate battle was getting closer and closer!
