Chapter 256: Chapter 138: Battle of Divine Blood

The Snake Woman, Selena, glided along, heading toward the Starry Spirit Bridge.

She’d had a fruitful time in the Starry Sky District recently.

She planned to return to the Star Tower District below and cultivate in seclusion for a while.

Even though her strength was considerable in the Starry Sky District, enough to operate alone, cultivating in seclusion there wasn’t exactly safe.

When she arrived at the area of the Starry Spirit Bridge,

she found twenty to thirty top-tier experts from the Three Great Divine Kingdoms gathered near the Spirit Bridge.

Numerous experts from Star Remains, Eternal Curtain, and Calamity Court were all present.

"What’s going on?"

"Is a war about to break out?"

"If they destroy the Starry Spirit Bridge, it could take half a year to a year to recover!"

Puzzled, Selena asked someone else from the Immortal Calamity Court.

"Recently, a user of the Evil Spirit Wizard Sequence with some rather formidable methods has appeared down below."

"Just six months ago, that Evil Spirit Wizard stole a massive amount of Sequence Essence that Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker had stockpiled in the Purple Star Altar."

"That rich Essence was what Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker had been accumulating to advance to the Upper Rank Level."

"Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker is extremely belligerent by nature. He holds a grudge against anyone who provokes him."

"That Evil Spirit Wizard stole his resources and occupied his cultivation grounds. How could Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker possibly let him get away with it?"

"I heard that after absorbing the resources of Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker, the Evil Spirit Wizard started heading for the Starry Spirit Bridge. He’s clearly trying to enter the Starry Sky District."

"So, Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker is here, lying in wait for him."

"They say that Evil Spirit Wizard is quite strong, so there’ll probably be a huge fight."

"Naturally, a crowd gathered to watch the show."

"After all, Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker is incredibly powerful, and it’s rare to see an expert of his caliber in a life-or-death battle."

"I see!"

Having learned the reason, the Snake Woman Selena gazed into the distance.

There she saw Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker, who looked like a small mountain even while sitting cross-legged.

Intertwining streams of crimson Divine Blood rose and burned, enveloping his entire body.

"It seems the strength of Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker has improved again."

"That’s why everyone is waiting here, to see just how strong Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker is now."

"Is that Evil Spirit Wizard one of our Calamity Court?"

"He uses lethal force against the other two great Divine Kingdoms, but he goes a bit easier on people from the Calamity Court. So, it’s highly likely he’s one of ours."

As the person spoke, the Snake Woman Selena also felt the desire to watch the battle.

On one hand, she wanted to see the strength of Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker; on the other, she wanted to see how strong the Evil Spirit Wizard was.

If the Evil Spirit Wizard’s strength was impressive, it might be worth getting to know him.

Anyone with the strength and qualifications to come to the Starry Sky District had a high chance of advancing to the Upper Rank Level.

And once one advanced to the Upper Rank Level, their status within their Divine Kingdom would rise significantly.

......

Entering the Starry Spirit Bridge.

The formless power of the Spatial Layer Realm continuously pulled Zorn forward.

’I should reach the Starry Sky District in about a hundred breaths.’

’The experts in the Starry Sky District are numerous.’

’I might even run into some future Legendary beings, or even Divine Spirits.’

As he thought, Zorn quietly felt the immense control and destructive power granted by his powerful Ancient God Curse and Dual Sequence.

Even when facing the most elite experts, the current Zorn was completely unafraid.

BUZZ...

Before long, a buzzing sound came from the Spatial Layer Realm.

’I’m here!’

Zorn immediately stood up.

Just as he exited the Starry Spirit Bridge’s passage and landed on the Starry Sky Island, Zorn was slightly stunned.

He saw more than thirty experts from the Three Great Divine Kingdoms, all with extremely powerful Sequence auras, on this Starry Sky Island.

’So many experts gathered here... Are the Three Great Divine Kingdoms about to go to war?’

Zorn’s mind raced.

Before he could think any further,

BOOM—

A giant axe, like a collapsing mountain range, suddenly chopped down.

RUMBLE...

The terrifying War Axe fell.

The entire Starry Sky Island trembled slightly.

From a corner not far away, Zorn, having dodged the Surprise Attack, emerged from the shadows, his expression darkening.

"Hmph! You slippery rat! You had the guts to steal my resources, but you don’t have the guts to take a blow from my axe?"

A rumbling wave of sound, like a volcanic eruption, washed over him.

Zorn’s gaze swept over the burning, boiling Divine Blood, and he instantly understood.

"You... are Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker?"

"That’s right! I am the great Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker! Die, you damned Evil Spirit! Eat my axe!"

Baluk, a full ten meters tall, took a step, and the ground rumbled and shook.

They were over a hundred meters apart, but with just two steps, Baluk was already in front of Zorn, his crimson War Axe hacking toward Zorn’s head.

Pairs of giant Golden Arms suddenly shot out from the ground around Zorn, forming a thick, wall-like barrier.

CLANG!

The Defense formed by the Elemental Hand actually managed to block Baluk’s Divine Blood War Axe directly.

With the buff from the Star Trace Realm, the Fighting Master’s Golden Gang Qi, and the additional Giant Dragon Power, the defensive might of the Elemental Hand had been greatly enhanced.

"Die, die, die... Just die!"

Roaring, Baluk swung his Divine Blood War Axe, hacking at the many hands that formed the golden rampart.

In an instant, the Starry Sky Island, an entrance several thousand meters in diameter, was shaken violently by the blows.

Zorn, meanwhile, stabilized the Elemental Arms while beginning to cast and prepare on all fronts.

’Since so many people are watching today...’

’...I’ll use this Divine Blood Berserker to make an example. It’ll save me from too much resistance when I’m gathering resources later.’

Zorn quickly built up his Magic, which required some preparation time.

Fortunately, the current Golden Arm, combined with the Fighting Master’s Gang Qi, formed an extremely strong Defense, sufficient to buy Zorn time.

The Divine Blood Berserker, on the other hand, swung his axe again and again, unleashing powerful Secret Techniques that caused Zorn’s Golden Arm barrier to shake continuously.

It seemed as if Zorn was completely suppressed.

"Is this the Evil Spirit Wizard from below who’s rumored to be so formidable? He doesn’t seem like much."

"What do you mean ’not much’? Isn’t that Defense pretty impressive?"

"Heh... He might be strong down there, but up here, that’s not necessarily the case."

"After all, this is the gathering place for the top experts of the Three Great Divine Kingdoms."

"Being able to block so many attacks from the Divine Blood Berserker is already quite something."

The area around the battlefield was abuzz with discussion.

Not far away, the Calamity Court Snake Woman, Selena, watched with narrowed vertical pupils.

A spreading black mist had completely enveloped the Evil Spirit Wizard.

Even she, with her unique Snake Eyes, couldn’t see what was happening inside.

Although the Evil Spirit Wizard was temporarily suppressed and unable to fight back, based on her understanding of Wizards, these types would surely be setting up their methods, constructing a powerful Magic synergy.

A Sequence like the Berserker could unleash immense destructive power with a mere gesture.

A Wizard, however, needed time to prepare their Magic.

"Damned Evil Spirit, aren’t you supposed to be so tough?"

"Hiding in a turtle shell, is that all your ’toughness’ amounts to? Watch me smash your shell, chop off your head, and show you the consequences of provoking the great Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker!"

With a furious roar, the attacks of Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker grew even more ferocious.

Just as Baluk brought his axe down again in a ferocious chop,

a ray of golden light suddenly bloomed.

’Not good!’

Baluk was suddenly alarmed.

He immediately unleashed the full power of his Divine Blood, cleaving down with all his might toward the golden light.

As the War Axe collided with the golden Arrow,

BOOM—

A terrifying power, like a volcano, erupted.

A golden halo spread across the vast Starry Sky.

The expressions of the many Transcendent spectators changed drastically.

"This..."

"Such powerful Forbidden Curse energy."

"Hiss... To command such a terrifying offensive power, this guy really does have some formidable tricks up his sleeve."

"The intensity of this Sequence is incredibly high. I reckon he’s another ’Son of the Plane,’ born from a Sequence tide within a Plane."

"Even Baluk was sent flying. Now things are getting interesting."

"Indeed. It wasn’t a waste to wait here for several days. I have to record this battle quickly."

Sent flying over a hundred meters, his arms slightly numb, the expression of Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker darkened. The Divine Blood within his body was now simmering.

’What a powerful blow!’

On the Starry Sky Island,

Zorn’s figure slowly emerged.

Golden Gang Qi condensed into a thick suit of Star Trace·Holy Armor, covering Zorn’s entire body.

Three giant golden hands materialized behind him, and each hand had already drawn back a golden Arrow.

What horrified the onlookers even more was that although the power of the Arrow just now had been immense, the aura emanating from the Golden Arrows now was completely ordinary.

"This concealment technique is incredible. It’s perfect for a Surprise Attack."

When they saw the three golden hands that had appeared behind Zorn all draw back powerful Forbidden Curses,

even Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker wore an extremely grave expression.

VWOOM!

A golden Arrow suddenly shot forth.

In an instant, it reached Baluk’s chest.

"ROAR!"

Roaring furiously, Baluk swung his axe down viciously.

Just as Baluk’s blow was about to land,

VWOOM! VWOOM!

Zorn’s next two arrows were also released.

BOOM...

As his axe cleaved one arrow in two, the other two Arrows directly pierced through the Divine Blood covering Baluk’s body and plunged into his flesh.

That burning, flowing Divine Blood was, in fact, a powerful suit of defensive armor, similar to Zorn’s Holy Armor, just different in form.

Even though the opponent’s Divine Blood Defense was extremely strong, Zorn’s Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin could still pierce it.

Moreover, Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin also had an execution ability.

When enough Arrows had accumulated, hitting the target again would unleash a powerful execution force, annihilating the opponent in one fell swoop.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Die..."

The intense pain from the Arrows piercing his body made Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker even more furious, and the power of the Divine Blood within him surged higher.

Roaring madly, he charged forward, War Axe in hand.

Just as Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker charged again,

a Rune Hand, a full ten meters wide—roughly half the size of Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker—materialized behind Zorn.

It then slammed toward Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker.

BANG!

The War Axe and the Rune Hand clashed.

Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker was knocked back more than ten meters, but he charged forward again the next moment.

He began to battle Zorn’s Rune Hand.

While controlling the Rune Hand, Zorn also cast Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin.

Now, with his Witchcraft fully unleashed, Zorn had turned the tables and was suppressing the astonishingly powerful Baluk.

An exceptionally dangerous battle of extremely high intensity had begun in the Starry Sky.

Many powerful experts from afar even received the news and used their own methods to come and watch.

Such an opportunity to witness a clash between top-tier experts was not to be missed.
