The Era of Gods-Chapter 76 - Yan Renjie and Wan Ying Arrive

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Yan Renjie and Wan Ying Arrive

Translator: 549690339

With a thought, another million faith values burned up, turning into a golden mist that surged into the Spear of Faith. The golden spear body swiftly thickened and lengthened, quickly transforming into a massive pure gold spear, twenty meters long, and fiercely hurled down.

With a flash of golden light, a miserable scream echoed in midair as the Giant Clam was shot down from the sky with an overhead thrust, the thick spear body impaling it straight through.

“Snap!”

Lin Xiao gently snapped his fingers, and the pure gold spear body suddenly exploded, turning into a blaze of golden flames that consumed the flesh of the Giant Clam, rapidly burning a hole more than a meter in diameter.

No matter how strong the Giant Clam’s vitality was, it couldn’t withstand such damage and was instantly gravely injured, gasping for breath in the mud for a few seconds with spasms.

Although the Giant Clam was formidable, it was after all still within the range of mortal creatures; it was no match for a Divine Being player from the Main World like him.

Moreover, he had infused himself with Gold.

You should know that Divine Beings like Lin Xiao, although they are also creatures of Divinity, are not the same as those from Foreign Dimensions. After Opening the Divine Realm, in a sense, they already possess a part of the might that only True Gods from Extra-dimensional planes have, making their true combat power far stronger than Divine Beings of a Different Domain.

Normal Divine Beings from Different Domains can’t even utilize faith value, let alone Divine Power. They can only passively absorb faith, and even then, they can only absorb a small fraction.

For instance, out of ten thousand faith points, a Divine Being from the Main World like Lin Xiao can absorb one hundred percent, but Aboriginal Divine Beings of an extra-dimensional plane might only be able to effectively absorb less than one-tenth. Even Demigods can only absorb and use between twenty and fifty percent, never exceeding fifty percent.

Only True Gods can significantly enhance their faith absorption according to their understanding and mastery of rules.

Not to belabor the point, but from this alone, one can see the disparity between the Deities of the Main World and the Native deities of foreign domains. The difference between being able to use faith and not being able to use faith is a qualitative gap, whether it is in enhancing strength or combat power.

This is also one of the main reasons Lin Xiao dared to let his True Body Descend to face the Snake People Demigod. In a sense, there’s no class difference between him and the native Demigods; the gap lies only in Divinity and Divine Power. However, this gap is closing thanks to his series of arrangements. With Yan Renjie and Wan Ying’s imminent arrival, the distance is further reduced.

In less than a minute, the body of the Giant Clam, resembling a small hill, was penetrated by the golden flames, burning out a two or three-meter hole, with all flesh inside utterly incinerated. The Giant Clam was burned to death.

As soon as the Giant Clam died, he saw a huge phantom of the Giant Clam detach from the corpse and rise up into a vortex above it.

As followers of the Snake People Demigod, they will enter the Sanctuary upon death, which means they have to be killed again later.

Moreover, in the Sanctuary, with the enhancement of Sanctuary Rules and the Divine Power of the Snake People Demigod, they are even more difficult to deal with.

Luckily, the Sanctuary is not a real God Country; the rule enhancement is limited. If it were a real God Country, it would be a difficult situation.

The corpse essentially has no value for utilization.

Although this creature grew so big and had abundant vitality, it was after all just a Mortal Beast with no Superhuman Power, without anything valuable to decompose and extract.

Moreover, already dead, the only potentially valuable thing—the creature’s robust vitality—had also dissipated.

With two strikes, effortlessly slaying the Giant Clam dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the Guardian of the Sacred Mountain, while it greatly boosted the morale of Lin Xiao’s Disciples. The faith of ordinary Fishmen increased to varying degrees.

Many Fishmen, with high morale and loud battle cries, charged towards the Entrance of Sacred Mountain, forcing the Snake-man Guards, whose average strength was between Level 2 and Level 3, to retreat step by step.

From afar, Lin Xiao gazed at the towering Holy Mountain, then turned his head to look in a certain direction. A streak of gold light, like a meteor, descended from the sky. It landed in a swamp several kilometers away from him, turning into a golden light screen that covered a thousand meters. In a short while, the light screen disappeared, and a large group of Lava lizard people emerged, surrounding a giant Lizardman whose scales were a golden-red color.

Yan Renjie had arrived.

He too had arrived with his True Body, which had transformed into a Lava Lizardman even taller than Lin Xiao’s ten-meter Naga. He carried on his back a giant bow over ten meters long, made of molten material, with a bowstring that was a flaming line, burning fiercely. This bow was, with high probability, a Demi-God Artifact Embryo.

It must be said that having a prestigious birth is indeed pleasurable. Yan Renjie came from a much stronger background than Lin Xiao, having prepared a Demi-God Artifact Embryo so early. As he grew, he only waited for his ascension to Demigod status, when it would immediately become his Life-linked Demigod Artifact, far more powerful than a normal Demigod Artifact.

The Lava lizard people, who favored hot environments and detested water, were visibly annoyed at being teleported into the swamp, as was Yan Renjie. This environment would affect his clan’s combat power. He would never choose to come to such a place under normal circumstances.

But this time was different. The message from his homeroom teacher left him no choice.

To be fair, if it wasn’t for his own homeroom teacher, who he believed would never trick him, he could hardly believe that a student of this session could achieve such a feat, daring to target a Demigod.

Yan Renjie considered his talent and strength to be within the top hundred in school history, but he never thought of going after a Demigod.

He had never imagined that there were actually lunatics bold enough to do so, and they were damn near successful.

When he first heard the news, his initial reaction was disbelief, followed by envy, jealousy, and hatred.

A Demigod, for heaven’s sake. If this were to succeed, wouldn’t it mean skyrocketing to the heavens?

It’s not to say one could gain all the Divinity of a Demigod—this possibility was slim—but even half would be at least three or more points, potentially four or five. Integrating five points of Divinity would immediately meet the minimum conditions for becoming a Demigod.

He’s only in the first year, and with this as a foundation moving into the second and third years, just the starting point would crush most people.

The moment he saw Lin Xiao, who had also arrived with his True Body, he felt sour, but immediately suppressed any petty thoughts and flew over with a smile, greeting him from afar.

The bulk of it had nothing to do with him, but even a bit of Divinity would be good. He already had two points of Divinity; with this, three points in total, his starting point was already quite high.

Lin Xiao waved back in greeting and waited for Yan Renjie to fly over, then said:

“That Snake People Demigod has been hit by my heavy poison, and it burned at least three points of Divinity to kill the Avatar of the Sea God. Now its state is very weak. Once Wan Ying arrives, we’ll make our move immediately.”

Yan Renjie nodded repeatedly:

“That’s a must.”

After speaking, he glanced at the distant Holy Mountain and, aiming to show his presence, suggested:

“I think we can start by clearing the surroundings of Sacred Mountain, stripping away all the wings of the Snake People Demigod. Once Wan Ying arrives, we can attack the Sanctuary immediately..”
