Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 919 - 246: Slay! Molten River Evil God! The Astonished God of the Earth!

Fan Wu’s sword strike had bisected the Molten River Evil God, dealing an unprecedented heavy blow. The illusionary formation that it had woven throughout the county town instantly shattered. Everyone in Lingchen County could see the sky-full of tumbling magma being torn apart. At first glance, it seemed as if the entire sky had been cleaved in two, leaving spectators speechless in astonishment!

"Blessed be the Immeasurable Heavenly Honored, what in the world is going on?" An elderly cultivator was so shocked that he had inadvertently plucked more than a dozen hairs from his beard. He lifted his head high, his wrinkled face filled with an expression of inconceivable awe, "Is that really an Evil God? Why... why has it suddenly split open?"

Beside the elderly cultivator stood another cultivator wearing a bamboo hat. His eyes were slightly narrowed with a very grave tone, yet he could scarcely hide a sense of alarm, "Have you... not noticed the sword light that just shot up to the heavens?"

"Sword light? Amitabha... Not just this old donor here, even I as a monk did not see it. Could it be that our cultivation level is too low, hence we did not witness it?" Another monk on the side swallowed a gulp of saliva secretly.

"My goodness... If there really was a sword light, who could have cast such a stroke? Just how powerful must one’s heaven-defying cultivation be?"

"How could a cultivator possibly be an adversary to an Evil God? Surely this must have been the deed of an Immortal God."

"Likely so. Only Immortals can battle Evil Gods!"

"If my memory serves me right, isn’t that direction the location of our Earth Temple in Lingchen County? Recall that our Earth Temple is famed for its efficacy; perhaps there’s a God of the Earth within it. If there truly is a God of the Earth, perhaps it is they who are now engaged in a mystical battle with that terrifying Evil God in the heavens!"

"Hiss!" Hearing this, someone could not help but draw in a sharp breath, their face a picture of shock as they said with incredulity, "If it’s a God of the Earth who has intervened, isn’t that a divine clash between a righteous deity and an Evil God? Could we cultivators, by witnessing this fight, possibly gain some enlightenment?"

"This is a battle between an Immortal God and an Evil God! They wouldn’t possibly engage in combat for three days and nights, or even ten days and nights, would they? But the question is, can Lingchen County withstand such an ordeal for that long? Will our place be affected by the aftermath?"

"The Earth Temple may be somewhat remote, but strictly speaking, it’s not too far from us. What if the ripple effects reach our side? Would that not spell disaster for all living beings?"

"Oh, Mother! How... how could such a thing happen all of a sudden? What is this Evil God’s purpose? Can the God of the Earth withstand it?"

"The God of the Earth is a righteous deity, while the other side is but an Evil God without divine status. Surely he can withstand it!"

"Don’t forget that centuries ago, there were gods who perished at the hands of Evil Gods."

"Uhh..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"..."

After the initial shock had passed, an irrepressible panic took hold. These cultivators undoubtedly knew much more than the common folk—they knew about the Mountain God of the Shangwu Dynasty who had lost their Divine Position to an Evil God centuries ago. That Evil God brought such chaos to the region that it became unbearably lawless; it is said that within just a few short years, hundreds of thousands of commoners and cultivators perished!

These were the lives of hundreds of thousands of commoners and cultivators. The population of their entire Lingchen County... was only that many people! If their place fell into the same state as hundreds of years ago, even as cultivators, they could not escape the fate of death. Possibly because they were cultivators, they would even be the first to receive the "attention" of that Evil God. The reason for the quotes around ’attention’ was because it meant death!

To say they were not afraid would be a lie. Even cultivators feared death, for isn’t the pursuit of cultivation for a longer life? Even to ascend to immortality and share the longevity of the heavens? With such aspirations, they naturally feared death. They were but ordinary cultivators, and the fierce battle between the righteous deity and the Evil God had them rattled with terror.

If, by chance, that God of the Earth were defeated, their region would fall under the rule of an Evil God. Just the thought of their land becoming a scene akin to a purgatorial battlefield sent chills down their spines and made the hair on their necks stand on end, drenching the backs of their clothes in a cold sweat.

"It cannot be... it cannot be..." Some cultivators quickly shook their heads, discarding such thoughts, and rationalized in defense of the God of the Earth: "The God of the Earth should be more powerful than the Mountain God, right? How could he possibly be defeated by an Evil God?"

"That’s not certain! Even if the God of the Earth is more powerful than the Mountain God, it’s surely only by a little? Let’s not forget the Mountain God had the support of millions of worshippers centuries ago. Our God of the Earth here has but the devotion of a few hundred thousand. It’s hard to say who is stronger or weaker!"

"Damn it... I just hope the ripple effects of their battle do not reach me. If they create a bigger disturbance, won’t the other regional Gods of the Earth or Mountain Gods also take notice of our place?"
