This is the power of Godhood and Field: Godhood is the manifestation of rules, while Field is the extension of the power of rules. Utilizing Godhood to grasp the rules, their formidable might is displayed through the form of the Field.

Yet this is merely a Demigod Avatar, not even a potent one at that. The Field’s power is limited; if a True God were to take action personally, even a Divine Being like Lin Xiao wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of the Field and would be drained of all Divine Blood on the spot, becoming a dried-up corpse.

Therefore, when Lin Xiao burst forth with over five million Power of Faith, the powerful Divine Power instantaneously blasted apart the Blood Realm acting upon him, and with a flash, he charged out from the surging waves of blood.

At the same time, Shen Yuexin’s Forbidden Whip lashed out once again. Under the stimulation of the Power of Faith, the Lightning Whip swiftly expanded into a straight, thick pillar of lightning, smashing into the Blood Realm. The viscous blood within the Blood Realm disintegrated into nothing upon touching it, punching a colossal hole through the Blood Realm and penetrating deep into it.

The quality of this Forbidden Whip in her hands definitely reached the level of a Demigod Artifact, and it was even an exceptional one within its rank, which is why it could easily tear through the Blood Realm with such power.

Bear in mind that Lin Xiao also burst forth with over five million Power of Faith just to free himself, and that was merely to escape, whereas her casual crack of the whip, likely only consuming around a million Power of Faith, easily obliterated vast swaths of the Field. It felt as though a red-hot iron rod was effortlessly inserted into solidified butter, with the power unleashed far surpassing Lin Xiao’s.

Compared to her weapon, the Golden Spear in Lin Xiao’s hands couldn’t even be considered a Demigod Artifact; it was merely a proto-artifact of such, still in need of ceaseless nurturing to enhance its might.

Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that it would take him a few hundreds of years of constant nurturing until he became a Demigod for the possibility of nurturing the Golden Spear into a Demigod Artifact.

Thinking about how she already possessed a powerful Demigod Artifact so early, while he was still using one snatched from others, the disparity….

“Indeed, a low-key little wealthy lady, adore her, adore her!”

Soon, Lin Xiao realized that he had gone from being the main offensive to just tagging along. The combat power of a complete Demigod Avatar was far more terrifying than he’d imagined. Just one Avatar was putting far greater pressure on them than the previous Snake People Demigod.

The three of them combined were more than ten times stronger than the trio during the final exams, yet they were only managing to fight the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation to a draw.

This illustrated just how severely the former Snake People Demigod had been weakened—burning several points of Divinity, Divine Power exhausted, and all Fanatic Believers slaughtered nearly bringing them to the brink of annihilation even in his nearly spent state.

Luckily, the Demigod Avatar’s brought Divine Power was insufficient; if the Divine Power had been abundant, Lin Xiao might not have been able to burst forth with Divine Power and make his way out just now.

Shen Yuexin took the lead, and with every strike of the Forbidden Whip, it transformed into pillars of thick lightning smashing down, incinerating the viscous blood and continuously draining the Divine Power of the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation.

Lin Xu, on the other hand, was always at a distance, bow at the ready aimed at the Blood Realm, yet not acting.

At first, Lin Xiao circled the edge of the Blood Realm, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack but the Demigod Avatar stayed hidden within the Blood Realm and wouldn’t come out. The Forbidden Whip continuously destroyed large parts of the Blood Realm, but its true body remained elusive.

What puzzled him most was the absence of the Legendary Vampire Afonso.

Considering he was a Rank 8 Legend in combat power, and although he wasn’t a true Legend, he wasn’t weak either and would have had the credentials to participate in their level of battle at the very least, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to stall them for a short period.

But in reality, since the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation’s descendance, Afonso had been enveloped within the Blood Realm and disappeared without a trace, remaining unseen to this point.

Moreover, the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation, aside from the sequence of maneuvers to suppress Lin Xiao who charged into the Blood Realm, seemed not to be dealing with Shen Yuexin or Lin Xu outside the Realm, and looked as though it was always on the defensive.

“This isn’t right, why doesn’t he come out? What is he doing?”

When things are amiss, there must be a demon at work—the unknown is terrifying. The enemy’s abnormal behavior put them on alert, and Lin Xiao shouted at his two teammates:

“I feel like something bad will happen if we drag this on.”

On the other side, Shen Yuexin, who had also whipped the Forbidden Whip breathing away vast areas of the Blood Realm without finding the enemy, nodded vigorously and said:

“I also feel that something is wrong. It’s better to make a big move now!”

Following this, Lin Xiao heard Shen Yuexin’s voice:

“You go first and blast open an area; I’ll follow up and open a passage to find the target, and Lin Xu delivers the final deadly strike!”

Lin Xiao immediately grasped her plan, nodded, and as his pupils blazed with golden lucid flames, he clenched the Golden Spear in his right hand. With a thought, a full thirty million Faith value began to burn.

If one million Power of Faith could be converted into one point of Divine Power, then thirty million Power of Faith could convert into thirty points of Divine Power amounting to an eruption equivalent to thirty units of Divine Power. The space around the Golden Spear began to warp and exerted an astonishing pull; the air and even light itself seemed to be sucked into the spear.

If an ordinary person were present, they would notice that he wasn’t holding a Golden Spear, but a distortion that absorbed even sight.

With a mighty thrust aimed ahead, a distortion of the void appeared and disappeared in an instant.

“Boom!”

The edge of the Blood Realm that enveloped the entire city suddenly exploded, an invisible golden wave surged forward, pulverizing vast portions of the Blood Realm.

Simultaneously, the color of the Forbidden Whip in Shen Yuexin’s hand shifted, turning from blue-white lightning into purple. As she brought the whip down, the purple Lightning Whip lashed out kilometers in length, shooting straight into the exposed Blood Realm wrought by him and blasting open a passage over two kilometers long and more than ten meters in diameter —until a sinister figure formed of thick blood blocked the Purple Lightning Whip.

Lin Xiao, who was attentively observing everything, witnessed this scene. His pupils contracted with astonishment as he realized that the sinister figure at the center of the Blood Realm was none other than the Duke of Vampires, Afonso.

No, to be precise, the physical body of the Legendary Vampire Afonso had been taken over by the will of the Semi-god Vampire, and the true Legendary Vampire had already perished.

It’s no wonder he hadn’t appeared until now, so that’s what happened.

By taking over the body of a Fanatic Believer, the legendary vampire, the avatar of the Semi-god Vampire, had suddenly found a vessel – from previously being a Non-existing tree – that allowed it to sustain more damage and execute more formidable strategies. Not only would the existence of the avatar last longer, but it could also persist without collapsing if the Divine Power was drained, unlike the previous avatars.

Previously, it was just a Divine Incarnation, the foundation of which was just a sliver of Divinity and will. Once someone breached its field, the avatar’s core would be directly hit, destroying the avatar.

Now that it had a physical body, even if its Blood Realm was shattered, the enemy would have to kill the body first before being able to harm the core.

The series of changes was astonishing, but at that moment, the arrow was already on the string and had to be released.

Lin Xu decisively seized the brief opportunity and shot the arrow he had been charging for some time.

Imperceptible to the eye, a trajectory only felt through senses swept across the path blasted by Shen Yuexin, and the next second, the Duke of Vampires—who should now be referred to as the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation— opened his tightly shut eyes as space suddenly brightened, and a Dark Gold Blood Vortex appeared out of nowhere and solidified, swallowing the trajectory as if it were a stone sinking into the ocean.

However, a second later, the Blood God Incarnate shook violently, and an invisible distortion exploded outwards in a ring shape like lightning, spreading in all directions.

Then, the immense Blood Realm began to collapse layer by layer, the solid sea of blood breaking into countless fragments, dissolving, fading, and disappearing.

Afterwards, the heavens and earth cleared, revealing the four figures standing in mid-air.

“He’s injured.”

The Legendary Vampire had a bloodless hole in his chest, a fatal wound caused by Lin Xu’s long-charged arrow. This strike, although not lethal to the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation, dealt considerable harm, causing even the realm to fail to maintain itself.

It was unfortunate for him to have a legendary-level body, for without it, Lin Xu’s fully charged arrow would have definitely killed the Blood God Incarnation.

However, the difference was not significant, since it was just an incarnation with limited Divine Power. Even with a new body and having blocked this arrow, it wouldn’t matter much; it only meant living a little bit longer.

Yet unexpectedly, as the field collapsed, the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation gave them a cold glance and then suddenly soared into the sky and fled amidst the multitude of onlooking believers within the city.

This was indeed surprising; running away in front of so many believers would deal a massive blow to their faith, possibly leading to many believers defecting and abandoning their faith.

But while his reaction was unexpected, they were well-prepared; Shen Yuexin flicked her Forbidden Whip, which rapidly extended for thousands of meters, sending a massive purple lightning column straight into a certain point in the void.

“Boom!”

A ring of lightning exploded, and the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation, who had soared into the sky and vanished, was forcibly blasted out of the void over a thousand meters high.

At the same time, Lin Xiao also took to the air, once again burning a full twenty million Faith value. Golden flames surged out, and his Golden Spear twisted in his hand as he pointed it at the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation, revealed a kilometer away:

“Salted Fish Charge!”

The imposing Supreme Naga’s True Body disappeared in a flash.

Forced out of the void, the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation’s expressionless face showed shock for the first time. He lifted his claws in a pushing gesture, and a vast expanse of the void twisted into a gigantic blood-colored vortex before him.

The instant the blood-red vortex twisted into shape, a section of the Golden Spear, entwined with flames, appeared out of thin air and slammed into the vortex, barely penetrating after a moment of resistance and slowly advancing towards the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation behind it.

Simultaneously, a dazzling golden light shot out from Lin Xu, surging straight into the sky and then curving downwards from above, directly hitting the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation’s forehead.

“Bang!”

The vortex instantly collapsed, and the Golden Spear unhindered, hit the face of the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation, his head bursting apart.

A speck of tempting golden light flew out from the shattered head, suspending motionless mid-air; Lin Xiao flew over and caught it in his hand, and only then did the golden light

This was the essence of the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation. When amalgamated with a body, it becomes constrained by it. Once the body is destroyed, there is a period of discomfort during which the essence can easily be captured, leading to the avatar’s demise.

In other words, the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation was finished.

There was no communication, not like the chatty villains in novels, they just started fighting upon arrival.

Nor was there an earth-shattering battle; except for an initial probing exchange where Lin Xiao suffered a slight setback, once the three of them got serious, they easily exterminated the Blood God Incarnation..
