Battle Royale of the Heavenly Deities (33)

Guifang Kingdom, Cliff Settlement City.

Thanks to Li Boyang's series of actions, the area around the Hundred Lands Mountain Range has finally returned to a rare period of peace.

However, the Guifang Kingdom lacked a visionary like Li Boyang, skilled in manipulation; fierce winds, torrential rains, and devastating floods were ravaging the region.

In particular, the water gods, who came with the momentum, were wreaking havoc on the land and mountains of the Guifang Kingdom.

Among these battles, the one between Wuzhiqi and Tide-Swallowing Clan was the most intense and agonizing.

On one side is the strongest water ape in the Central Continent Plains, the culprit who single-handedly unleashed this catastrophic flood...

His power was never solely reflected in his status as a "Heavenly Deity".

Their battle-hardened and versatile fighting techniques are also the source of their confidence in standing at the top.

It is no exaggeration to say that even without his identity as the "Water God," Wuzhiqi would be a true war god.

The other side was once a sea god, who, despite being constrained by the Gods of the Five Directions system for a thousand years, eventually broke free from its shackles...

The more Tide-Swallowing Clan fights, the faster his past humanity and personality resurface.

The loss of divinity weakened the power of the Tide-Swallowing Clan as a "natural disaster".

However, the return of his humanity also allowed him to regain the ability to learn and think.

Compared to purely natural disasters, the ability to think for oneself and to continuously learn is the key to whether a Heavenly Deity is powerful.

It is evident that the response has evolved from purely natural disasters to various emergency measures that are adapting and changing.

While the absolute power of the Tide-Swallowing Clan is weakening, their difficulty in dealing with them is increasing dramatically.

However, the resurgence of the Tide-Swallowing Clan was not the real headache for Wuzhiqi.

In his past military career, Wuzhiqi had encountered Heavenly Deity were close to the limits of life.

Therefore, he knew clearly that this was merely a final burst of energy for the Tide-Swallowing Clan.

No country, no clan, no rites...

The Tide-Swallowing Clan's self-awareness wouldn't last long; Wuzhiqi would shatter it with absolute violence.

That will be the time when Tide-Swallowing Clan truly dies, and when Wuzhiqi gains another great general.

"Another Heavenly Deity?"

Is this really just a small, isolated country?

After once again shattering the incarnation of the Tide-Swallowing Clan, Wuzhiqi turned his gaze to the distant Cliff Settlement City.

When floods and torrential rains frequently ravaged the Guifang Kingdom...

When the Tufang Clan carried out indiscriminate slaughter within the territory of the Guifang Kingdom...

In addition, there was the destruction caused by the water spirits and monsters brought by Wuzhiqi...

The plight of the people of the Guifang Kingdom can no longer be described as merely tragic.

Despair and wailing were everywhere, and the priests could only temporarily protect the Cliff Settlement City by all means.

Under these circumstances, the long-dormant Roaring Heaven Clan finally revived.

Vortex... Vortex... Vortex...

From nothing to something, from small to large, a storm that appeared out of nowhere surrounded Cliff Settlement City.

It quickly dispelled the torrential rain in the sky, the floods in the rivers, and the pervasive Netherworld aura.

In a daze, a huge and angry face appeared in the sky above Cliff Settlement City.

Unlike the other four celestial Heavenly Deity among the Gods of the Five Directions.

Besides being the embodiment of storms, Roaring Heaven Clan was also the Ancestor God of the Guifang Kingdom.

The desperate cries of the people of the Guifang Kingdom.

It stimulates His personification far more than any flesh-and-blood sacrifice or human sacrifice.

In fact, this is the key reason why the Roaring Heaven Clan, which had been severely damaged and dormant, was able to revive at this point in time.

"The Roaring Heaven Clan... haven't abandoned us?"

Looking up at the massive storm in the sky, Xuan Hui's gaze seemed somewhat vacant.

Currently, all the priests of the Guifang Kingdom have been dispatched to provide disaster relief.

So apart from the guards who remained dutifully on duty, only Xuan Hui remained on the magnificent ancestral temple altar.

"Your Ancestor God certainly wouldn't give up..."

Without a sound, a slightly eerie voice entered Xuan Hui's ears.

Startled, Xuan Hui turned around abruptly and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Glug glug...

It was a pool of blood built on an altar, originally used to hold the flesh and corpses of slaves.

But now, boiling blood and qi are constantly gushing out of that pool of Qi and Blood.

Who is this person?

When Xuan Hui looked closely, the boiling Qi and Blood had already materialized.

It was a water-type monster with the body of an ape, the tail of a snake, and its entire body covered in crimson scales.

"I am Water Sprite, a scourge that brings you death and despair!"

Water Sprite are born from springs and should be formless and intangible.

However, inspired by Wuzhiqi, it transformed into this form, able to freely enter and exit all water sources.

In most cases, the Water Sprite are the vanguard of Wuzhiqi's invasion.

Normally, however, a flood is enough to destroy everything in its path.

Only when faced with a tough nut to crack like Cliff Settlement City.

Only then will the Water Sprite infiltrate and undermine the city's defenses from within.

"Strong archers! Kill them!"

He suddenly raised his voice and roared, and the nearby guards immediately responded to Xuan Hui's call.

Unfortunately, after dozens of arrows pierced through the Water Sprite's body...

The Water Sprite remained standing, and even laughed eerily despite being covered in arrows.

"A mere ignorant commoner from a remote country, yet he dares to harm me?"

Suddenly flinging the arrows from her body, Water Sprite, amidst Xuan Hui Hui's bloodshot eyes, shot and killed the guards who had previously attacked her.

"You're asking for it!"

Suddenly wielding his scepter, Xuan Hui spat out a mouthful of blood, and a vicious Witchcraft Incantation immediately descended upon the Water Sprite.

Splash...

Sensing something was amiss, the Water Sprite tried to disperse.

To his astonishment, he discovered that a strange toxin was spreading within his body.

Even an invisible body made of blood and water can still be harmed and damaged by this toxin.

In the end, the Water Sprite, amidst its cries of resentment and anger, transformed into a pool of corrosive liquid and died.

"..."

Just as Xuan Hui breathed a sigh of relief and was about to check on the condition of the imperial guards...

Suddenly, shouts of battle erupted from below the altar.

Immediately following was the screams and wails of the entire Cliff Settlement City.

It turns out that the Water Sprite that appeared earlier was just the beginning; many more Water Sprite, and even other monsters, have appeared in Cliff Settlement City.

If it weren't for the intimidation of the Roaring Heaven Clan, no one would doubt whether the water deities who were reveling in the torrential rain outside the city would also appear in this city.

"This... how is this possible..."

His eyes were wide open as he looked down at the Cliff Settlement City.

This was already the umpteenth time Xuan Hui had said this in the past few days.

In this flood caused by Wuzhiqi, the power of an individual seems so insignificant.

Even beings as powerful as Heavenly Deity are nothing more than this before the true might of Heaven.

The Guifang Kingdom, which had once destroyed countless other states, performed no better than those destroyed states when faced with this life-or-death crisis.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

The fierce winds unleashed by the Roaring Heaven Clan echoed across this land, but torrential rains and floods were the main forces in this war.

This was a true war of annihilation, the final battle that would determine the life and death of the Guifang Kingdom.

For the first time, gods and all living beings had such a clear and unified goal—to survive.
