"God... a Deity?!"
The Wolf Demon was terrified to the Apex.
It watched the descending golden radiance.
Feeling the terrifying, boundless Divine Might within that golden radiance, its courage shattered and its soul split.
This—
How was this possible!
There really were Deities in this world!!
A legendary Deity had actually appeared before it!
Its enormous demonic body trembled beneath that terrifying Divine Might. It immediately knelt on the ground and begged in utter terror:
"Lord Deity, spare my life!"
"Lord Deity, spare me!"
"This little demon will never dare harm anyone again! This little demon is willing to submit to Lord Deity and serve Lord Deity!"
"Lord Deity, please spare this little demon's life!"
It knelt on the ground in terror and trembling, pleading for mercy.
Its massive wolf body knelt upon the ground, making for a profoundly shocking sight.
Li Deyang, Li Xiuwu, and the others wore expressions of astonishment.
Was this the might of a Deity?
Lord Zhangyue had not even appeared. Merely releasing his vast Divine Might had made the Thousand Wolf Mountain Wolf Demon—arrogant beyond measure and terrifying to the extreme—kneel on the ground!
Their faith in Lord Zhangyue became even more devout, even carrying a trace of fanaticism!
At this moment—
Golden radiance surged forth in vast waves, even forming an enormous golden face in the Firmament.
The face was blurry and indistinct, but its pair of eyes was exceptionally clear, cold and majestic.
It looked down from on high at the demon wolf kneeling below and begging for its life.
This scene
left the several villagers from Zhang Family Village and Liao Family Village at the foot of the mountain utterly dumbfounded.
They opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at that enormous golden face.
Divine Might swept toward them, making them all feel incomparably insignificant.
"Th-that-that..."
A young man stammered, unable to get a single sentence out.
The shock was simply too great.
And besides—
They had heard Li Youming's furious roar just now, as well as the words, "Invoke Lord Zhangyue's Divine Might to descend"!
They had also seen a heaven-shaking rainbow streak across the sky and descend into Thousand Wolf Mountain, forming that enormous golden face!
If this was not a Deity, then what was?
So everything Four Seas Village had spread was true!
The Orthodox Land God of Four Seas Village truly existed!
They immediately knelt on the ground, their eyes brimming with excitement, exhilaration, and reverence.
The demon wolf of Thousand Wolf Mountain was finished!
A Deity had descended to slay demons and eradicate devils!
From this day onward, the villagers of their several villages would no longer be eaten by demon wolves!
They had already made up their minds.
Once they returned, they would immediately go to the Land God Temple in Four Seas Village to worship the Deity!
"What was that?"
Within Zhang Family Village,
Zhang Ronggui, the highly respected village chief of Zhang Family Village, opened his mouth wide.
That heaven-shaking rainbow had fallen into Thousand Wolf Mountain just now.
And now a golden face had appeared, looking down upon Thousand Wolf Mountain.
Could it be—
Had a Deity truly revealed himself?!
Li Youming had entered Thousand Wolf Mountain, invoked Lord Deity to manifest his divine presence, and slay demons and eradicate devils?!
He trembled as he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his aged face.
The other villagers also knelt one after another, kowtowing toward the golden face on Thousand Wolf Mountain, still visible even from six or seven li away!
All the villagers were incredibly excited.
A Deity!
A true Deity! ...
Within Liao Family Village,
Every villager, including the village chief and elders of Liao Family Village, knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed.
A Deity had revealed himself to slay demons and eradicate devils for them!
Who would not be excited upon witnessing such a scene?
If they had suddenly spotted such a golden face appearing in Thousand Wolf Mountain from afar, they might not have known what was happening.
They might even have been frightened and uneasy.
But throughout these past seven days, Four Seas Village had been proclaiming—
Li Youming had received a Divine Oracle and would enter the mountain to eliminate demons today.
Now that they saw such a miraculous sight, they naturally understood everything.
Li Youming had invoked a Deity to descend and kill the Wolf Demon! ...
"Your body is steeped in sin. You cannot be forgiven."
"I—"
"The Heaven and Earth Orthodox God of Four Seas Village—grant you death."
Li Yue looked down at the terrified demon wolf begging for mercy and spoke indifferently.
His voice rolled forth, spreading across all of Thousand Wolf Mountain.
The next moment—
At a turn of his thoughts, dark clouds immediately gathered in the Firmament, while lightning flashed and thunder roared.
A bolt of Thunder as thick as a water barrel suddenly crashed down from the heavens. Like a twisting, roaring thunder dragon opening its gaping maw, it directly blasted the demon wolf's head to pieces!
Though the demon wolf went mad in its final moments, desperately using all its demonic power to form a demonic shield above its head,
the glorious might of Heaven could not be resisted!
Beneath Divine Might, the demon wolf perished!
Even its soul was reduced to ashes beneath the heavenly lightning!
Whoosh—
The enormous golden face in midair dispersed.
The golden radiance borne by Li Youming also faded away.
The Divine Might between Heaven and Earth vanished, yet Thousand Wolf Mountain still seemed to retain traces of it. All things fell silent, without the faintest sound.
Li Youming's face was pale.
Bearing the might of a Deity with his body had truly placed immense pressure upon him.
But he also felt—
After bearing the might of a Deity once, the Qi within his body had directly increased by a third.
He was one step closer to second-tier upper-grade!
"Go and kill every wild wolf on the mountain."
"Lest the wolves descend the mountain and harm the villagers."
He drew a deep breath and gave the order.
"Yes!"
Li Deyang, Li Xiuwu, and the others still had faces full of excitement.
The might of a Deity truly could not be measured!
He directly controlled the might of Heaven, using the Thunder of Heaven and Earth to slay demons and eradicate devils!
The terrifying scene of dark clouds gathering and heavenly lightning descending
was witnessed from afar by the young men at the foot of the mountain, as well as the villagers of Zhang Family Village, Liao Family Village, and Four Seas Village.
Everyone was excited, stirred, reverent, and horrified.
Was this the might of a Deity?
It truly was terrifying!
At this time,
whether it was the village chief and elders of Zhang Family Village,
or the village chief and elders of Liao Family Village,
the thought of merging into Four Seas Village arose in their hearts.
Chen Family Village could merge into Four Seas Village and receive the protection of Four Seas Village's Orthodox Land God.
Why could they not?
In this world where Demonic Creatures roamed everywhere and Evil Specters sprang up in droves—
who would not want the protection of a Deity?
Within the "Divine Domain,"
Li Yue watched twenty divine powers disappear at once, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Responding to the Deity Invocation Art actually consumed ten divine powers.
Using the Heavenly Thunder Art also consumed ten divine powers.
"This divine power really doesn't last..."
"Twenty strands vanish at the drop of a hat..."
"But the Heavenly Thunder Art is truly formidable. As expected of a Deity who holds authority over one region."
A faint smile appeared on his lips again.
Then—
His gaze turned toward "Personal Quest."
At this moment—
[Personal Quest—III] had already displayed as completed.
He immediately claimed the quest reward.
He placed considerable importance on that Spirit Field Divine Talisman.
The Believers' strength could not always rely on his blessings.
Believers also needed to understand how to cultivate and improve themselves.
And the Spirit Field Divine Talisman could transform into a patch of Spirit Field and grow Spirit Rice!
Eating Spirit Rice could raise the cultivation speed of low-tier Martial Artists to an astonishing degree!
Whoosh—
A Spirit Field Divine Talisman and five first-tier Blessing Talismans appeared out of thin air before him.
Thirty more strands of divine power also appeared within his body.
At this moment—
The divine power he possessed had reached one hundred and two strands.
"Spirit Field Divine Talisman..."
His gaze fell upon the Spirit Field Divine Talisman before him.
Streams of information surfaced.
