Chapter 78 The Dead Divine Realm
The dark shadows in mid-air landed, raising a cloud of dust. They folded their large, fleshy wings, revealing bodies that resembled a combination of a giant bat and a lizard.
Name: Gargoyle (Inferior)
"Rank: Pseudo-Transcendent First Tier"
"Description: Consumables commonly used to guard temples. Exposed to wind and sun, they have lost their former mystique. Now, summoned, they rely on their heavy bodies and gliding abilities to destroy enemy lines from the air."
There weren't many, only a few hundred. Using the mountain of corpses piled up by wild beasts, they flapped their wings and leaped up again, leaping over the heavy shields in front and landing directly on the spear formation behind them.
Due to a lack of experience dealing with aerial units, several Spirit Warriors were overwhelmed, creating gaps in the formation.
The gargoyle swung its clawed forelimbs, aiming for the warrior's face. The cast iron helmet sparked and left a deep scratch.
"Change formation! Back row, raise your spears!" Shinzo shouted.
The spearmen, in perfect unison, turned their spears and thrust them upwards at an angle. Although most were blocked, a few spears still caused damage, piercing through several gargoyles still airborne. Filthy blood flowed down the spear shafts.
Xin Zang drew his five-weapon axe from his waist. He stepped forward, dodging a gargoyle's attack, and swung the axe at its neck. The blade flashed, and the solid flesh was severed.
The body fell to the ground.
Liang Jiu looked down from the clouds. The system panel unfolded in the void, displaying real-time scores.
Killing a sand wolf only earns one point, while a gargoyle earns five. His ranking started to rise after killing a gargoyle, indicating that there were other testing methods involved.
"Things are still falling from the sky." Jane's screen flickered, pointing to the sky.
The rift still stretched across the sky. This time, it wasn't a single entity falling, but a burning fireball.
"A siege meteorite?" Liang Jiu looked at the sky.
The seminary's scale is enormous. The extreme test not only examines the melee combat abilities of the followers, but also tests the gods' reactions to the methods of other gods.
This was an attack that no one could withstand with their physical bodies alone. Liang Jiu knew it was time for the gods to intervene.
He mobilized the divine power within his body.
Above the clouds, golden divine power gathered above the city, transforming into streams of light that intercepted several fireballs about to fall into the city. The divine power tightened, crushing them in mid-air. The rubble turned into a rain of fire, falling onto the empty wasteland.
Jane floated around beside her: "Why can't I do it? I can do it too."
"Isn't what you're using my divine power? Let me ask Lord Jian to help when I'm tired," Liang Jiu rejected its suggestion.
He looked at the distant rift. The rift was widening, but its height was decreasing, as if it were trying to establish a deeper connection with Liangjiu's divine realm.
He was still quite concerned, as expected. A situation he'd never seen before in books—a unique connection channel, a power system completely different from divine power, and an aggressive nature—Liang Jiu found it hard to believe he would have such thoughts about a land without gods.
"Xin Zang, do not defend. Advance directly downwards into the rift. The gods will bless you with a triumphant return," the divine decree was issued.
Shinzo, who was commanding at the front, received the order. He wiped the blood off the tip of his gun and pointed it at the distant horizon.
"All troops, attack!"
The steel formation regrouped, pointing directly at the source of the enemy's attack.
As the steel formation advanced, the rift stretching across the sky continued to descend. Finally, the illusory boundary completely merged with the wasteland, tearing open a massive physical passage across the plain.
Deep inside the passage, shadowy black clumps were still writhing, as if a continuous stream of miscellaneous soldiers were preparing to emerge from them.
If it weren't a test, but a real war, I doubt many students would emerge unscathed.
"Keep up, and win glory for the gods!" Shinzo walked at the very front.
He selected a portion of his elite troops as the vanguard, while the remaining warriors continued to resist the invasion of these otherworldly monsters and await their return.
Xin is the King of Men, the King ordained by God, the King chosen by the Xin people. He will overcome all who come.
Without hesitation, he led his team into the dark passage.
The moment they stepped inside, the surrounding space distorted, and the intense sense of disorientation caused the entire team to experience a dizzying sensation. However, under the protection of the divine power, the elite members of the Sinister Clan quickly regained their footing and, despite the pressure, stormed into the inner part of the true testing divine realm.
At the same time, with the help of the faith coordinates provided by his family, Liang Jiu's consciousness crossed the barrier and directly covered that unfamiliar terrain and divine realm with his divine power.
[Evolutionary Hunter chance increased by 5% from 30%]
Ok?
Seeing the notification pop up in the void, Liang Jiu felt a little puzzled. But what truly surprised him was not the sudden improvement in his trait, but the scene that appeared at the end of his vision.
I wasn't the first god to enter.
On the distant, wild horizon, thousands of giant black wolves converged into a massive vortex, systematically hunting a colossal cyclops. And directly above that battlefield, the consciousness of another god resided in the clouds.
The other side looked down at the battle below with a relaxed and amused air, as if enjoying a feast that had been delivered to their doorstep.
