The Godslayer swung Mo Ye, and the sword clashed with Qin Heavenly Main God’s boundless lightning in a deadly fray. Neither would yield. Just then, a figure descended, landing before the Godslayer.
"Little Junior Brother!" the Godslayer exclaimed with joy. He could sense the Power of the Main God radiating from Ye Fan, which could only mean one thing: Ye Fan had broken through to the Main God level.
"Senior Brother, leave this to me," Ye Fan said. "Go help the others eliminate the remaining two Divine Monarchs!"
"Can you handle him?" the Godslayer asked immediately.
"Don’t worry. He’s just a mere traitor," Ye Fan replied calmly.
Without another word, the Godslayer rushed toward the Great Wilderness Main God to help him annihilate the Yunxiao Main God.
Qin Heavenly Main God spoke calmly, "You really surprise me, boy. To achieve Main God status in just a hundred years!"
"There’s plenty more to surprise you," Ye Fan retorted coldly.
"You are the first in the Divine Domain to break through to the Main God Realm so quickly! But unfortunately, you’ll also be the first young Main God to die by my hand. I was able to plot the demise of the Ancestor of Tianyuan back then, so killing you now will be just as easy!" Qin Heavenly Main God said with disdain.
But Ye Fan simply shook his head. "Though I’ve only just become a Main God, I only need five moves to defeat you."
"Arrogant!" Qin Heavenly Main God seethed with anger. He had never met someone so insolent. Defeat me in five moves? Perhaps a Divine Monarch could make such a claim, but Ye Fan is just a rookie who recently broke through. What right does he have to boast like that?
He immediately unleashed the Boundless Thunder Tribulation. As the bane of all creation, he was confident it would strike Ye Fan down.
The Boundless Thunder Tribulation surged downward.
Ye Fan bellowed, "First move!"
He brandished the Yuanhong Sword, and the Sword of Slaughter lunged forward, now even more terrifying. It was truly the number one sword in the Divine Domain.
As the strike approached, Qin Heavenly Main God scoffed, "Is this one of your so-called five moves?" His Boundless Thunder Tribulation completely blocked the attack. However, in the very next instant, he let out a muffled grunt. Looking down, he saw that the sword had already pierced through his body.
"AH!" he howled.
He immediately stirred his Origin Power, using it to guide the lightning. The bolts, like a Heavenly Tribulation, shot toward Ye Fan’s Spiritual Spring. The Spiritual Spring was the very foundation of a Martial Artist, the source of one’s Origin Power, and he intended to destroy it.
However, Ye Fan simply announced, "Second move! The Shifting Seas and Mulberry Fields!"
In the blink of an eye, the world itself seemed to transform, as if ancient oceans had turned into vast fields. This was the gentlest of killing techniques, and it enveloped Qin Heavenly Main God completely.
Qin Heavenly Main God felt a sense of suffocation as his Boundless Thunder Tribulation ground to a halt. By the time he understood what was happening, his lower body had been severed.
"Why? Why didn’t I feel any pain? What is this?" he exclaimed in shock.
It wasn’t until he saw Ye Fan standing calmly in place that Qin Heavenly Main God let out a bloodcurdling scream. His lower half was gone. Separated from his upper body, he desperately tried to rejoin his two halves, but Ye Fan was simply too fast.
Ye Fan thundered, "I don’t need five moves to deal with you. Three are enough! Pure Yang Dragon Fist!"
Pure Yang Divine Power merged with Divine Dragon Power, erupting forth as a golden dragon. It pierced through the shield condensed by Qin Heavenly Main God and shattered his Spiritual Spring.
Qin Heavenly Main God let out a muffled groan. He froze on the spot, his eyes wide open, standing there dumbly. His life force had already dissipated. To his last moment, he likely could not believe that Ye Fan had slain him—a veteran Main God, famous for years—in just three moves.
Perhaps his death was painless. Ye Fan had used only three moves, ending the life of an old Main God—a traitor to the Righteous Gods—without prolonged suffering.
Thus, a Main God of his generation had fallen. It mattered not how brilliant Qin Heavenly Main God had once been, nor how he had successfully plotted the downfall of a great powerhouse like the Ancestor of Tianyuan. In this moment, he was ended by Ye Fan. In the great River of Time, he was merely a stepping stone for Ye Fan’s growth. This stepping stone had now become a sacrifice. Or perhaps, he should have died thousands of years ago, his life only extended this long by some whim of the heavens.
Ye Fan severed the head from the corpse with a single stroke of his sword and collected it. He would use this head to honor the souls of the dead.
The clash among the great Main Gods no longer required his intervention. Ye Fan knew that, at this moment, he was probably the most relaxed person on the battlefield. He turned his attention to the confrontation between the Divine Monarchs.
"Break!" Evil You Ancestor commanded the eighteen Rashamons to bombard the Crownless God Monarch. Unable to hold his ground, the Crownless God Monarch was sent flying by the strike, spitting blood. Making a Divine Monarch bleed was no simple feat.
Just then, another figure took action. It was the Fei Ying God Monarch. With a wingspan covering ninety thousand li, he swooped toward the eighteen Rashamons, intent on crushing them.
Evil You Ancestor sneered, "What does it matter if your wings span ninety thousand li? Watch me tear you apart!"
He charged forward and roared, "Thousand-Handed Demon!"
The Thousand-Handed Demon, one of the eighteen Rashamons, possessed Evil You Ancestor’s body. He immediately seized the Fei Ying God Monarch’s wings.
"Not good!" The Fei Ying God Monarch sensed impending doom.
He hastily counterattacked, but it was too late. As soon as the Thousand-Handed Demon appeared, his wings were instantly torn to shreds.
"AH!" he screamed in agony. "Brother Crownless, save me!"
"Alright!"
The Crownless God Monarch activated the Crownless Thirty-Six Transformations. All thirty-six techniques were unleashed, aiming for the Thousand-Handed Demon, but they were intercepted by the other Rashamons. Meanwhile, the Thousand-Handed Demon continued to brutally tear apart the Fei Ying God Monarch’s wings, weakening him to an extreme degree.
"Flying Eagle Transformation!" The Fei Ying God Monarch transformed into his true eagle form, attempting to break free from Evil You Ancestor’s grasp.
But Evil You Ancestor simply bellowed, "Slaughter Asura!"
The Slaughter Asura possessed him in turn, its power immediately cleaving the Fei Ying God Monarch’s body in two. Weakly, the Fei Ying God Monarch tried to fuse his body back together. However, fleshly regeneration was an ability possessed only by those in the Main God Realm.
Realizing the dire situation, the Crownless God Monarch broke through the other Rashamons and rushed toward the Fei Ying God Monarch, hoping to intercept Evil You Ancestor’s attack and give his comrade a chance to breathe.
But at that moment, Evil You Ancestor said coldly, "You think you can stop me? A foolish dream. Unless all six of you Divine Monarchs attack together, you would only be able to block me, and nothing more! It’s as simple as that!"
He launched his attack with the utmost speed, bombarding the Crownless God Monarch. Displaying the Evil Nether Battle Chronicles to their fullest extent, he defeated the Crownless God Monarch in a single move.
"Such mighty power!" Ye Fan exclaimed, shocked. Is this the power of a Subcestor? Even after my breakthrough to the Main God Realm, I can still feel a strong sense of oppression from this force.
The Crownless God Monarch was sent flying, riddled with injuries. Then, with a final strike, Evil You Ancestor killed the Fei Ying God Monarch. His body plummeted from the sky, crushing a group of Martial Artists from the Evil God faction below.
"Brother Fei Ying!" the Crownless God Monarch cried out in heart-wrenching agony.
