Chapter 965: Chapter 685: The Fall of a God
Camilla, ripped apart.
Vilote was somewhat dazed.
"The Demigod Domain has been broken?"
The Demigod Domain is the most crucial reliance of a Demigod.
Without Demigod strength, 99% of the methods cannot break through the domain’s defense.
But the Void-breaking Dao is that 1%.
However, among the three thousand Dao paths, many are unknown to them.
If it’s only the early stage of the Seventh Rank Void-breaking Dao, breaking through a Demigod Domain is very difficult.
Before coming, Lu Chenzhou secluded himself for cultivation, practicing the "Great Thousand Travel" and using the remaining Enlightenment Stele to elevate it to the late stage of the Seventh Rank. Thus, after transforming into the Golden Horned King Beast, even if it’s a Fake Spirit Transformation, the Void-breaking Dao can temporarily reach the late stage of the Eighth Rank, capable of dissolving all defenses.
Furthermore, after his "Withering and Flourishing Undying Body" transformed into the Second Step Technique, the Undying Body advanced further.
Although still undying, it contains a trace of immortal characteristics, becoming a "pseudo-immortal."
This enhances his ability to withstand Dao attacks significantly.
Camilla’s demigod tactics, trying to kill him? Difficult.
Lu Chenzhou is not fighting a Demigod for the first time.
In his battle with the Mo Luo Hall Master, he accumulated extensive experience.
Camilla’s Dao attacks involve Poisonous and Water Dao.
Coincidentally, Lu Chenzhou is also adept in these areas.
Therefore, his resistance is not weak either.
It could be said that in terms of survival, Lu Chenzhou is not inferior to a Demigod, perhaps even stronger.
What he’s lacking are means to break a Demigod’s defense.
The expressions of Kunxu and others were equally shocked.
"Is this Lu’s trump card?"
"The waves behind drive on those before, one must concede."
Old monsters who have lived for thousands, tens of thousands of years, were all sighing in awe.
Seeing hope for victory, their attacks became even fiercer.
"Demigod, nothing more than this."
"When Lu advances to Great Power, he will be invincible in the world!"
"Today, to kill two demigods at once, we will make a great profit."
Vilote’s face turned gloomy, sneering: "It’s merely capable of breaking defense, killing a Demigod, how easy do you think it is?"
True to his words, the torn muscle fibers of the giant serpent wriggled and soon healed together, though there was a conspicuous bloodline that couldn’t recover.
"I underestimated you. Since the Divine War, it’s the first time someone has damaged my divine body," Camilla said coldly.
A Demigod’s body, so powerful, even if Camilla’s flesh is not her strength, it can rival a pseudo-supreme treasure.
She also possesses an exceptional self-healing ability akin to an Undying Body.
Divine power is the core; as long as it isn’t exhausted, killing a Demigod is exceedingly difficult.
Rumble! The Ruins Sea surged, a gigantic phantom world emerged, within which endless serpent warriors’ projections could be seen.
Camilla transformed into a female swordsman clad in skin-tight black armor, sitting on a throne at the world’s center.
"Camilla, you actually intend to use the Divine Kingdom, be careful not to deplete your divine power and suffer a setback," Vilote said.
As a starry Demigod born of faith, they have plenty of means, yet many demand high amounts of divine power.
Having just awakened, lacking recovery time, their divine power is merely residual from the past, decreasing with use.
"There’s no other way; this human kid is truly troublesome. Without using the Divine Kingdom, I’m not confident of killing him."
The Divine Kingdom is a god’s most crucial method.
A Demigod’s Divine Kingdom is precisely a [Divine Kingdom Prototype].
Enough to kill an Eight Realm.
Camilla raised a sword to the sky, the phantoms of divine weapons and divines came majestically from the Divine Kingdom, with resounding hoofbeats, shattering the Ruins Sea.
Lu Chenzhou transformed into the King Beast, casually swiping with his claws, capable of killing many.
He charged through the armies, the claws infused with Void-breaking Dao Essence grasped toward Camilla.
One man and one god fought fiercely here.
Unnoticed, Lu Chenzhou was surrounded by countless divine weapons and divines.
No matter how many times he killed them, these divine weapons and divines seemed endless.
Moreover, rivers cascaded from the Dao above, flowing within the Divine Kingdom.
These are pestilence, corruption, bacteria... branches of all poison Dao paths.
The Golden Horned King Beast suffered various rule influences, gradually consuming its stamina.
Camilla finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"After all, it is the Divine Kingdom; unfortunately, I can’t maintain divine power for long now, otherwise, killing him would be effortless."
The Divine Kingdom manifests the rules of the Poisonous Dao.
Trapped within, one continuously suffers Dao attacks.
"No, continuing like this, even with an Undying Body, can’t withstand it."
Lu Chenzhou gazed toward Vilote’s battlefield.
Kunxu’s Golden Bridge was already full of cracks.
Once the Golden Bridge broke, besides Kunxu, the others might be instantly killed by Vilote.
"I can only employ the Divine Artifact projection, though I intended to save it for stronger Demigods..."
In a single thought, a phantom "Map of Ten Thousand Rivers" flew out of Lu Chenzhou’s body, growing as it met the wind.
Ultimately, it became countless ceaselessly flowing great rivers, breaking through Camilla’s Divine Kingdom.
"What? A True Divine Artifact?" Camilla’s eyes nearly bulged out.
On the battlefield of the past Divine War, the Map of Ten Thousand Rivers was renowned.
Many of her peers died under its depiction.
In the Xia Realm, residents by the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers watched as river phantoms roared skyward, disappearing into the Nine Heavens.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, throughout the entire Great Universe’s water system, billions upon billions of rivers did the same.
The rivers converged, forming a multicolored giant tiger phantom, its tail longer than its body, precisely the Zouyu.
Its Tiger Claw descended, and Camilla’s expression changed drastically.
It elevated the Divine Kingdom high, colliding with the Tiger Claw.
Rumble! The Divine Kingdom shattered, countless Dao branches were obliterated.
"Vilote, save me." Camilla called out.
Vilote couldn’t manage it; at this moment, Kunxu and the others were risking it all to keep it there.
Camilla’s form transformed into poisonous water, splashing in all directions.
But for someone who was once the Water Dao Lord like Zouyu, it was just a thought to summon back the poisonous water.
Camilla collided with the Tiger Claw, her snake body was crushed to bits.
A terrified soul emerged, flying towards Lu Chenzhou.
Camilla knew Lu Chenzhou’s will was strong, making body seizing extremely difficult.
But she knew she couldn’t escape death, so she might as well try.
The final result was being blocked by countless True Spirit Giant Beasts transformed by the Great Power’s will.
On the other side, the Tiger Claw reached into the Divine Kingdom, extracting a burning flame, and extinguished it.
At the same time, the Holy Lord of the Forbidden Zone looked at the extinguished flame beside him, with a grim expression.
"Camilla is dead..."
Demigods are undying, even in death they can be reborn in the Main God’s kingdom, as long as the Divine Fire remains.
But Camilla’s Divine Fire was extinguished by some power.
This couldn’t have been done by Lu Chenzhou and the others.
Only a demigod with a rank higher than Camilla, or a True God, could extinguish the Divine Fire.
"Judging by the disturbance in the Great Wilderness water element, it should be the Zouyu Water Mansion causing trouble."
The Holy Lord had no way to deal with this.
...
"Did Lu Chenzhou already use the Divine Artifact projection?"
The Innate Water Spirit looked at the agitated water element of the Three Thousand Worlds.
The Divine Artifact projection consumes True God Power.
Use a little, lose a little.
He only gave Lu Chenzhou one, not because he was stingy, but because there was not much left.
The rest had to be used for the God Sealing Ceremony.
"The situation is too severe, alas..."
...
Camilla is dead.
Lu Chenzhou looked at the dissipating Zouyu projection.
Upon seeing the Divine Kingdom, he knew that without using the Divine Artifact projection, he could perhaps defeat Camilla.
But to kill? Impossible.
He needed Camilla’s severe poison and Water Dao to advance to the Third Step.
Although using the Divine Artifact projection was somewhat wasteful, it was more secure.
Mainly because Kunxu and the others couldn’t hold on much longer.
The Divine Fire extinguished, Camilla’s soul was reduced to a lingering essence and Dao essence.
"Come, be refined by me!"
The Martial Arts Tree pierced into the soul, wildly absorbing the nutrients for growth.
Lu Chenzhou sat cross-legged, consuming an entire bottle of Heavenly Immortal Dew, recovering his strength.
On the other side, Vilote’s expression was grim.
"Camilla is dead... this kid actually has the Divine Artifact projection."
If it were him, he could withstand it, but would also get injured.
This was with Lu Chenzhou unable to fully exert the power of the Divine Artifact projection.
If used by a demigod, it would be enough to oppose a True God for a moment.
"Vilote, you’re next." Kunxu laughed.
"A group of Eight Realms slaying a demigod, everyone, we’ve accomplished an unprecedented feat." Wan Yan Old Ghost, on the verge of death, said.
"To witness this moment, it’s worth it." The Star-devouring Sword Demon’s expression wilted, life seemed to be burning out.
Hei Zhou and Sword River Great Saint also gave their all, silently joyous, too tired to speak.
"Lu Chenzhou must die." Vilote turned and violently bit at the chains, painfully battling against the rules binding him.
"Stop It, if it breaks free, it will definitely seek trouble with Lu Chenzhou." Kunxu said.
"You can’t stop me!" Vilote’s Divine Power burned, manifesting the Divine Kingdom, the Void Dao descended, smashing the Golden Bridge. At this point, it couldn’t care less, with a strong sense of danger, knowing that if Lu Chenzhou wasn’t killed today, it would die instead.
Lu Chenzhou quietly meditated, watching the Martial Arts Tree rise.
On the other side of the battle, both sides were in a desperate fight.
After the Golden Bridge shattered, Kunxu and the others could no longer contend with Vilote.
The Sword Demon was struck by a claw, his figure shattered, longsword broken, life or death unknown.
Wan Yan Old Ghost transformed into flames, enveloping Vilote, trying to burn it to death.
But the giant dog bit into the flames, forcibly tearing out the old ghost, swallowing him, leaving only a wisp of flame, which Kunxu took into the Immortal Ascension Platform.
Lu Chenzhou stood up, preparing to act, but was stopped by a hand.
"Junior brother, let us handle it." The one who came was the windswept senior brother, wearing ancient heavy armor like stars, holding a long stick supporting the universe, with a demeanor resembling the owner of Yuan Mountain. Beside him was a beautiful maiden.
This was the Clam Girl, Lu Chenzhou had met her with senior brother, who once offered to teach her swordplay, which she declined.
The girl held a long sword, stained with mottled blood, seemingly fresh, with evil qi rising to the heavens.
In faint glimpses, a shell monster could be seen roaring amidst the raging black tide, making the heavens and earth dark.
Vilote’s eyes narrowed: "You killed Kilgar? How is that possible?"
Kilgar’s strength was on par with Itself, much stronger than Camilla, at peak also a middle-ranked demigod.
Senior brother patted his chest armor, twirling the long stick, laughing: "Vilote, do you remember this outfit of mine?"
Vilote gritted its teeth: "I won’t forget, you of the Yuan Mountain Daoist heritage, all deserve to die!"
