Jason looked at Dylan, who was dressed in black armor and wore dark black gauntlets, and was speechless.
He didn't originally intend to fight; he just wanted to see what the divine beast Suanni looked like. Even in the Netherworld, purebred divine beasts were extremely rare.
However, Dylan saw Jason, a Lowgod, they barely exchanged names before Di Lin unleashed his ultimate attack, "Swallow Heaven."
Fortunately, Jason's Arc Flash can also be used in his true form, allowing him to teleport more than 300 meters away. Arc Flash requires Lightning Element Divine Power to reach its maximum effect, but his true form does not have Lightning Element Divine Power, so its movement range is very limited, and it can only be used once, which will deplete all the Lightning Element Battle-qi within his true form.
Dylan could not use his supernatural powers continuously. Seeing that Jason was out of the range of his supernatural powers, he rushed up to try to press his advantage. However, Jason's Life Clone was good at defense. With the help of the six laws of his main body, after a few exchanges, it actually gained the upper hand.
Dylan hadn't expected Jason to be so strong.
In his view, he had been trapped in the Gebados Plane five thousand years. As a new generation of Deity-level on the Yulan Continent, it was already rare for him to break through to the Lowgod within five thousand years. He might not even have had time to complete the forging of Divine Artifact.
Even if the environment within the Gebados Plane is terrible, and his strength has stagnated for five thousand years, it would still be enough to crush this newly born Deity-level and grant his son a Divine Spark.
Unexpectedly, Jason not only managed to escape his prized supernatural abilities, but also gained the upper hand despite being caught off guard.
Dylan looked around. The layers of green bubbles were clearly some kind of ability that Jason had deliberately used to prevent the aftershocks of their battle from causing widespread destruction.
"He still has the energy to do all this? Where did this guy come from? And he's simultaneously using six laws, but judging from his domain, he should only have one Divine Clone." Various thoughts raced through Dylan's mind, but the situation was already beyond his control.
Jason took out a staff. Due to the rules of cultivation, Jason's Life Clone was more suitable for support. The Divine Artifact was also a staff. Delisha did not leave behind Divine Artifact with life attributes. This staff was made by Jason himself and had not yet completed its transformation into Divine Artifact.
If Jason's Life Clone were still in the state of not having completed the forging of the Divine Artifact, it would definitely suffer a crushing defeat against Dylan Lin alone, and might not even be able to defeat the High Priest. However, with the main body present, it can actually suppress Dylan.
At that moment, a female voice rang in Jason Dylan's minds. "Jason, this is Dylan, the king of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts ten thousand years ago; Dylan, this is Jason, a genius of the Rhine Clan, a descendant of Demon."
It was just an introduction, but it made the High Priest's attitude clear—she would help whoever was weak.
One was a monster, the other a descendant of Demon, and the High Priest an elf who wasn't friendly with anyone; as for the War God who hadn't spoken a word throughout, Jason felt that he was probably thinking the same thing.
Even if the three of them joined forces, Jason wasn't afraid. His main body plus his Life Clone could still hold out for more than ten minutes against their combined attack. That would be enough time for his other secluded Divine Clone to arrive.
Dylan maintained his defensive stance, clearly preparing to observe Jason's actions.
Jason shrugged, showing little interest in fighting three Lowgod. Besides, he wanted to maintain the general plot of the original story for the time being, feeling that he could gain some benefits from the various events to come.
"Never mind, goodbye." Jason turned and flew away.
Dylan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at his three sons in the distance, scanned them with his divine sense to confirm that they had not been affected, and then he felt at ease.
In the original work, Linley's fighting style was always fair and square, but in reality, battles between Deity-level involve many strange moves, especially for Deity-level who cultivate the Four Edicts. It is quite easy for them to secretly leave some undetectable backup moves for the three Saint-level.
When Jason returned to the Baruch Clan's ancestral home, it appeared to have been attacked by bandits. A section of the courtyard wall had been torn down, the living room door had been smashed, Hogg was covered in blood and barely breathing, and the butlers Hiri and Hillman were weeping.
"Uh--what happened?" Above the clouds, Jason watched this bizarre scene. He hadn't been this bewildered even when Dylan suddenly unleashed his ultimate attack.
Using his divine sense, Jason located Veronica behind a boulder in Wu Mountain. He flew directly there.
"You're back."
What happened?
Veronica looked helpless. "Hogg said that now that he has awakened his bloodline, he might be targeted and killed by some powerful forces, so he wants to escape unscathed."
Jason taught her the phrase "shedding one's skin like a cicada."
"So, couldn't he have found a body double to represent the corpse?"
He said this would make it more realistic; with his abilities, he could hold out for several hours even if buried underground.
"That section of the courtyard wall and the gate--"
"I took it apart, and the process was actually quite enjoyable."
Jason sighed, "Whatever, as long as you're happy."
Sensing that this farce would need a little more time, Jason asked, "Are we no longer needed here? Should we go somewhere else for a while?"
Where would you like to go for a stroll?
"Proulx Gallery"
Linley hadn't run far before he felt himself outside the sphere of influence of the Deity-level combat.
"Am I dreaming? Did I really meet a Deity-level expert?" Linley muttered to himself.
"That should be correct," Doehring Cowart revealed himself, "The phantom of that behemoth was probably the manifestation of a Deity-level magical beast in battle."
"Then why did they suddenly appear and then suddenly start fighting—" Linley suddenly stopped talking, looking at the Purple Blood Sword in his hand, "That magic circle?"
Doehring Cowart nodded. "It must be the destruction of that magic circle that attracted two Deity-level. Perhaps there's some treasure beneath the circle, or perhaps the circle originally sealed one of them."
Linley frowned, wondering if his rash decision to draw the Purple Blood Sword was the right one.
"The battle seems to be over?" Linley looked towards the direction of Mist Valley.
Bebe chirped as it perched on Linley's shoulder.
"Hopefully that man named Jason will win; Wharton is currently under his protection." Linley had a good first impression of Jason.
Linley suddenly remembered something. "Grandpa Doehring, you said before that the Rhine Clan are descendants of Demon, but that Deity-level expert just now seemed quite easygoing? He even said that he's like an elder to me?"
Doehring Cowart blinked. "Perhaps I'm wrong. The current Rhine Empire has no connection to the Rhine Clan I knew. After all, I've been asleep for so many years, it's normal to have a family with the same name."
Linley let out a breath. "I originally wanted to familiarize myself with my warrior strength in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, but now it seems the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts is a bit dangerous."
Doehring Cowart agreed, "After two Deity-level battles, the drastic changes in the surrounding environment might trigger a beast tide. It's safer to return to Fenlai City."
Linley wrapped the Purple Blood Sword around his waist and looked once again at the distant Mist Valley.
The spiritual light of plants and trees that Jason summoned gradually slid down and returned to the earth, while the blood-red Destruction Divine Power that dissipated caused the clouds in the sky to droop and sparse raindrops to fall.
The powerful battle fluctuations just now seemed to be an illusion.
I want to become that kind of strong person too.
