The attention of the martial artists in the South District was inevitably drawn to this sudden and unusual phenomenon.
Both alluring and eerie, it resembles a spider lily blooming in hell.
"Look at them, so unsophisticated."
"The male lead has appeared."
"The special effects budget for 'Pretty God' really seems to increase with each episode."
"Look at mine~"
"..."
The Grand Elder's expression was solemn.
He sensed something unusual amidst the rain of blood.
"I bloom amidst the carnage."
The elder turned around upon hearing the sound and saw a blurry figure descending from the thick white fog.
Before he could get a closer look, a dazzling halo suddenly erupted behind the man, almost blinding him.
The six-armed giant instantly stomped the ground and lifted up the sky, surrounded by a dazzling array of stars.
" Apostle?"
The golden Divine Markings caught the Grand Elder's attention.
He resembled Apostle, yet was quite different from Apostle.
The overwhelming divine power that swept over him made the Grand Elder have an extremely absurd thought.
The person before me was not Apostle, but a true deity.
" Bloodstained Splendor."
Qin Ze spoke softly, his voice like a profound celestial sound from the heavens.
The blood rain froze in mid-air, as if it had been paused.
The guard in the South District curiously reached out a finger and gently touched it.
With a "snap," the blood-red raindrops split open, transforming into blood spikes tens of meters long that pierced through the guard's body.
The sound seemed to be a signal.
The countless drops of blood instantly transformed into blood spikes in the next second.
Countless densely packed blood-red blades intertwined and crisscrossed above the spatial array.
All the martial artists in the South District, including those at Level Nine Martial Artist, were stabbed by the Blood Blade.
They were like insects trapped in a spider's web, unable to move for the time being.
The more they struggled, the more the blood thorns would spread within their bodies.
The clones present were all perfectly dodged by Bloodthorn, with none of them being accidentally injured.
The bloodthorn pierced the elder's skin, but could not penetrate even half an inch further.
Through the gaps between the blood-red thorns, the Grand Elder met Qin Ze's eyes, which were filled with the light of the sun, moon, and stars.
At this moment, his heart could no longer remain calm.
God is probably like that.
The question "Where do you come from?" was like a fishbone stuck in the elder's throat, impossible to utter again.
While the Grand Elder was watching Qin Ze, Qin Ze was also watching him.
The six-armed giant suddenly moved.
He merely took one step toward the Grand Elder, and the blood-red spikes piercing the sky and the earth shattered.
Countless blood-red fragments filled the entire space, each fragment reflecting Qin Ze's image.
The alluring flowers drifted down, their weeping stamens releasing colorless and odorless pollen that was barely perceptible to the naked eye.
Pollen seeped into the warriors' bodies more quickly through their wounds.
The next second, coughing filled the air, and the martial artists from the South District all knelt on the ground.
The Level Nine Martial Artist wasn't much better off.
Already at a disadvantage, they were further burdened with an additional debuff, making them even more unable to lift their heads in defeat.
Qin Ze took two steps to the Grand Elder, and his overwhelming divine power directly devoured him.
The elder felt like a lone boat sailing alone on a stormy sea, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
This was a kind of oppressive aura emanating from those in power, a fear etched into their very genes, that left the Grand Elder with no inclination to resist.
With Miss Sword Case nourishing him day and night, Qin Ze's "divinity" increased every day.
The tiny elder stood before Qin Ze's chest.
The contrast in size creates a strong visual impact; even ants and elephants are not that different.
This scene was somewhat unexpected for Qin Ze.
When did Kamui become so useful?
Miss Sword Case explained, "The more someone believes in a deity, the more they will fear them."
Qin Ze suddenly realized.
The Grand Elder of the Holy Temple was the most devout follower of the God of War.
Faced with Qin Ze's divine might, comparable to that of God of War, he was naturally timid.
Subduing the enemy without fighting saved Qin Ze a lot of trouble.
He raised his hand and poked at the Chaos Pearl at the Grand Elder's waist. With the Chaos Pearl in hand, tonight's show could finally come to an end.
The elder gritted his teeth, fighting against his instincts.
Seeing that Qin Ze's target was also the Chaos Pearl, he forcibly broke through the shackles binding him.
boom--
The blazing Blazing Sun Fire licked Qin Ze's fingers.
Qin Ze's fingers showed no signs of burning; the Blazing Sun Fire seemed to coexist peacefully with them.
The Blazing Sun Fire seemed extremely joyful, as if it had seen its own father.
Immediately afterwards, the Blazing Sun Fire within the Grand Elder's body surged forth continuously, flowing entirely into Qin Ze's body.
This scene completely surprised the Grand Elder.
He had only ever seen someone wield the Blazing Sun Fire like this before, and that was Yan Miao, specifically Yan Miao after he Fusion the Source of God of War.
Only the Source of God of War could possess such a powerful control over the Blazing Sun Fire.
The Grand Elder seemed somewhat dazed.
Is the person before me also a successor to the God of God of War?
What he didn't know was that Qin Ze had absorbed a trace of the God of War's Origin when he was in the Land of Faith.
It was this God of War's Origin that allowed Qin Ze to easily absorb the Blazing Sun Fire given to him by the Spirit Clan elder.
Seeing that he was about to be drained dry, the Grand Elder forcibly calmed the Blazing Sun Fire within his body and quickly retreated to create distance.
The unexpected mana replenishment surprised and delighted Qin Ze.
He originally intended to drain his Second Sister dry during this trip to the Black Market, but unexpectedly almost drained the First Elder dry first.
The Grand Elder breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the Spark within him hadn't been extinguished.
He suddenly felt an emptiness at his waist, and when he looked down, the box containing the Chaos Pearl had vanished.
"You're looking for this?"
Qin Ze raised one index finger, and the box was right at his fingertip.
The Grand Elder's expression changed slightly. "Please..."
Before he could even begin negotiations, Qin Ze tossed the Chaos Pearl into the sky.
A bald eagle with a wingspan of over 100 meters swooped down from the clouds and swallowed the Chaos Pearl whole.
The Grand Elder cursed inwardly for the other party's lack of martial ethics.
Shouldn't that have been the trash-talking segment?
Why aren't you playing by the rules?
Qin Ze said calmly, "Villains die from talking too much, so I'm sparing with my words."
The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "Does Your Excellency even know what you are doing?"
" The Chaos Pearl is the key to the survival of Myriad Races. Do you want Myriad Races to be destroyed in your hands?"
Qin Ze said calmly, "Giving you the Chaos Pearl would truly destroy Myriad Races."
"You've prematurely released the sealed Strange God; what do you plan to use to fight it? These worthless fodder?"
The Grand Elder remained silent.
The other party possessed more information than he had anticipated.
The Grand Elder looked at the Bai Bai circling in the sky. "To associate with strange beasts is a betrayal of Myriad Races."
Qin Ze scoffed, "You guys really like labeling people as heretics."
What happened to the strange beast?
"Often, the human heart is more terrifying than the heart of a beast."
The Grand Elder said coldly, "You cannot stop this Myriad Races Grand Tournament."
The Chaos Pearl is gone, how can we open it?
Bai Bai then said to Qin Ze, "This Chaos Pearl is strange; it only has a layer of Chaos Matter on its surface."
