Chapter 36: Battle of the Gods Bei Liyuan saw Li Youyang has been...

Bei Liyuan saw that Li Youyang was sulking all the time. Although he was happy that Li Youyang cared about him, he was also very distressed. He thought that he had to find a way to comfort him quickly.

Nangong Liuchu kept blaming himself for talking nonsense, but he didn't dare to talk to Li Youyang. He looked at Bei Liyuan for help.

Bei Liyuan quickly took two steps to Li Youyang's side and said softly, "Master, I heard that refining the Divine Relics can directly transcend realms. Is this true?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "Back then, Fu Guangjun and I were both stuck in the Semi-Saint realm. During our trip to the Divine Lord Ruins, Fu Guangjun obtained one and, after refining it, he directly entered the Saint realm. I achieved Sainthood a full three hundred years later than he did."

Bei Liyuan was shocked: "It's so powerful!"

Li Youyang nodded. "Not only that, the Divine Relics also contain the Divine Heritage, which will be of great benefit to my future cultivation. Before I obtained the Divine Relics, Fu Guangjun and I were on par, but since then, I have never surpassed him."

Bei Liyuan was about to speak again when two monks hurried over:

"Hurry up! I heard the relics of the deity have been revealed. If you're late you won't be able to see them."

"Why rush? We're definitely not going to make it with our current level of cultivation."

"I just want to take a look. That's a divine relic, only one has ever been found in this world. Aren't you curious about what it looks like?"

After the two walked away, Nangong Liuchu looked at Li Youyang and said, "Master, should we go over and take a look?"

Li Youyang nodded.

The three followed the two monks to a majestic palace.

Li Youyang frowned as he looked at the palace, and the sense of familiarity came back to him.

Seeing Li Youyang frown, Bei Liyuan hurriedly asked with concern: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Youyang: "I'm fine, please come in."

As he walked into the hall, Li Youyang felt more familiar, and some scenes inexplicably appeared in his mind. It was also in this hall, and two monks were talking and laughing while walking side by side.

Bei Liyuan noticed that something was wrong with Li Youyang and said softly, "Master, why don't we go back?"

Li Youyang rubbed his brows and said, "It's okay, let's go."

After walking for about another half a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at the main hall. A skeleton was sitting majestically in the main seat. The skeleton was wearing red gold armor and there was a faint halo around the skull.

Li Youyang looked at the skeleton and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

"Master?"

Li Youyang came back to his senses and drew a heart-clearing spell with his fingertips.

…

"Fellow Daoist Sun, I think the shining part of the skull should be the relic of the God."

Linglai Zhenren Sun Chen smiled and said, "There is only one relic of the God, and we will have to fight with Fellow Daoist Zhang later."

Zhang Xiang, the Moon Shadow Master, smiled and said, "It all depends on your ability. But no matter who gets this thing, it must not damage the friendship between us."

Sun Chen nodded: "That's natural."

"How funny! You're talking as if this divine relic already belongs to you two."

A monk in black robes stepped forward steadily.

The two men's eyes darkened slightly: "I didn't expect that Taoist Yunjian, who hasn't been out for many years, would come here."

Taoist Yunjian curled his lips and said, "Who among us cultivators can remain unmoved by the divine relics? That's right, there are two people: one is Fu Guangjun and the other is Nan Liujing."

"What Taoist Yunjian said is very true. I'd like to join in the fun." A blue-robed monk flashed over.

"This is True Lord Xingyao! This trip to the secret realm is truly worth it, to actually be able to meet these legendary hermit masters."

"It's a rare sight to see one of these guys on a normal day. I never expected that if I could see them fighting each other later, I'd have no regrets in my life!"

Nangong Liuchu and Bei Liyuan moved almost at the same time, one in front and one behind to protect Li Youyang.

Bei Liyuan whispered, "Master, why don't we stay away from them?"

Li Youyang nodded.

The three of them retreated silently.

The four of them waited for a moment, but no one came forward. Taoist Yun Jian smiled and said, "It seems that the battle for the divine relic will be between the four of us. Should we fight first, or grab it first?"

Xingyao Zhenjun said coldly, "Of course we should grab it first. If we start first and both sides suffer, wouldn't that be an advantage for others? What do you think?"

As he said this, he looked at Sun Chen and Zhang Xiang.

"It's up to us two to do whatever we want."

Then the four of them rushed towards the deity's relics at the same time, but were bounced back by the restriction.

Zhang Chen's eyes darkened. "It seems that if we want to obtain this divine relic, we must first work together to break this restriction."

The other three nodded.

The four of them used their spiritual energy together, and the restriction was shattered in an instant. At the moment the restriction was shattered, the divine relics flew out, and the four of them flew to grab it, but after a quarter of an hour they still couldn't catch it.

The divine relic also stopped when the four men stopped, as if examining the people present. After three breaths, it suddenly flashed and fell directly into Li Youyang's hands.

Everyone looked over:

"This divine relic is truly miraculous. Does it... choose its own master?"

"Isn't that Cheng Yanjun?"

"Cheng Yanjun?! It's true! This divine relic actually recognized Cheng Yanjun as its master. This is really bad taste!"

“Perhaps the Divine Relics simply dislike Cheng Yanjun. Even if this thing were in his hands, he wouldn’t be able to keep it.”

While everyone was discussing, Xingyao Zhenjun and others had already moved forward and surrounded Li Youyang and the other two.

"Hand over the Divine Relics, and we will spare your lives."

Nangong Liuchu and Beiliyuan moved at the same time to protect Li Youyang, and Li Youyang entered into a fantasy world the moment the divine relic came into his hands.

…

Before my eyes, the sky and the earth were dark, thunder was rumbling, and the void was filled with the aura of death. Countless cultivators rushed to the sky but were turned into ashes one by one by the evil aura!

"This is..." Li Youyang's eyes were cold and he felt inexplicably sad!

"The truth behind the fall of the ancient gods."

A cultivator in scarlet-gold armor approached him and said, "The Blood Clan's forbidden domain was breached. The gods fought desperately to protect the Nine Provinces. Three thousand gods perished in this battle, but in the end, they only managed to seal the teleportation gate. Not long ago, I sensed a subtle movement in the teleportation gate. Within a thousand years at the latest, the Blood Clan will surely return."

"Blood clan?"

The cultivator lowered his eyes and said, "Xihe, I died in that battle. The survival of Jiuzhou depends on you."

Li Youyang frowned. He hated people who only spoke half of their words. "Sir, could you please explain more clearly? The vampires are..."

However, the cultivators had gradually dissipated. Li Youyang held his forehead and asked, "Why are you still letting people guess after giving a warning? I'm afraid he was an unreliable god when he was alive."

The only thing that was certain from his words was that a great catastrophe would befall the Nine Provinces within a thousand years. Even the three thousand gods of antiquity couldn't resolve this calamity, so how could they, who now struggled to become gods, resist it?!

While he was thinking, the bloody aura became stronger. A blood-red python emerged from the source, and then a man in red clothes and blood-red hair rode the python and slipped out of the portal.

A group of gods swarmed forward, but the man just raised his hand lightly, and most of the gods were killed.

Li Youyang's eyes darkened.

The man's lips curled up in a sneer. "It's rumored that Jiuzhou is the place with the most spiritual energy, but it's just like this. It's far worse than the Star Continent!"

"Arrogant!" The monk who had just spoken to Li Youyang was wearing red-gold armor and holding a silver spear in his hand, stabbing straight at the man. The man raised his hand to meet the spear, and the monk was shocked back in an instant, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his lips.

The man smiled and said, "Finally, someone decent! What's your name?"

The monk stood up straight and said coldly: "Divine Lord Yuchen."

"Okay, I'll remember you."

The moment he finished speaking, two figures, one blue and one white, arrived on swords. The blue-robed monk complained, "Every time I talk about fighting, you run away so quickly. When will you change your temper?"

Yuchen Divine Master gripped his silver spear tightly and said, "I'll change it if I win this time."

The white-robed monk said coldly, "Don't underestimate the enemy."

The blue-robed monk disagreed: "Xihe is always like this every time we fight. Is there any monster that the three of us can't defeat?"

Divine Master Yuchen curled his lips and looked at the white-robed cultivator: "Xihe, this time I will stand with Lingye. As usual, you will assist from the side with the formation."

The God of Xihe nodded, and then the God of Yuchen and the God of Lingye attacked the man together. The other cultivators were instantly encouraged when they saw the three of them arrive and they all stepped forward to fight with the man.

However, in just a quarter of an hour, almost all the cultivators died, and the God Lord Yuchen and the God Lord Lingye were also seriously injured.

The man in red wiped the blood from his lips, looked at Xihe God with cold eyes, and was in front of him almost instantly: "Without you, I'm afraid they can't withstand my attack."

Then a palm attacked, but the God Xihe looked calm and blocked it with a formation. At the same time, another formation was already a hundred miles away.

The man in red curled his lips: "Interesting opponent."

For the next half hour, the man in red was trying to kill Xihe God, but he failed to hit him once. During the fight, Xihe God deliberately moved towards the portal.

Lord Lingye was concentrating on healing his wounds and not paying attention to the battle situation. Lord Yuchen, on the other hand, was paying attention to the changes while healing his wounds. It was not until Lord Xihe was close to the portal that he realized his intentions and was horrified: "Xihe! No!"

Despite being seriously injured, he dodged and headed towards the God of Xihe, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. The God of Xihe had already led the man in red into the portal, and then a formation was about to seal the portal.

When the seal was about to be completed, it was stopped by Lord Yuchen, and the people were also pulled out by Lord Yuchen.

The man in red was furious when he saw Xihe Divine Venerable sealing the teleportation gate, and he chased after him. Just as the man in red took a step, Yuchen Divine Venerable sent out his divine consciousness to force the man in red back to the teleportation gate, saying in a deep voice: "Seal it!"

Xihe clenched his fist and finally took action. A formation sealed the teleportation gate, and the consciousness of the God Yuchen was also sealed inside.

When Ling Ye Divine Master woke up, he happened to see this scene and glared at Xi He Divine Master: "What did you do!!!"

The God of Xihe clenched his fist silently but remained extremely calm, and cast another formation to deepen the seal.

Lord Ling Ye attacked Lord Xihe with a palm, but the protective formation blocked it. Only after the seal was over did Xihe look at Ling Ye and say, "We are no match for that man. This is the only way. Otherwise, all the lives on the Jiuzhou continent will die."

Ling Ye Divine Lord laughed in anger: "Xihe! You are very kind! I really should praise your righteousness! You can easily sacrifice your long-time friend just to survive! People like you really should cultivate the way of ruthlessness!"

Xihe God's eyes darkened: "Whatever you say."

Then he slipped away.

Lord Lingye clenched his fist tightly: "Lord Xihe, I will destroy your soul and spirit!"

The scene changed again. Not long after leaving the battlefield, the God Xihe spat out a mouthful of blood. After wiping off the blood, he took out a bright lamp, placed a soul in it to warm it, and then sealed the lamp in the spiritual spring.

After doing all this, the body of the God Xihe gradually became transparent due to severe wear and tear, and eventually turned into nothingness.

At this point, the illusion dissipated. A long time had passed in the illusion, but in reality it was only three breaths.
