Tycoon War God

The Prison of Divine Might was shrouded in silence.

The ordinary red-robed cultivators were merely shocked that the Thunder Angel had not been resurrected again.

But as for Saint Joseph, his murky eyes were already filled with utter shock.

”You… you can actually manipulate the Power of Faith? You used it to destroy the core of the War Angel! You are no Cultivator! It’s impossible for a Cultivator to possess such power! Who on earth are you?”

Having lived for two centuries, Saint Joseph thought he had seen all the world’s changes and that his heart was beyond agitation. Yet now, his spirit trembled uncontrollably.

Manipulating the Power of Faith was an ability exclusive to the Saints of Light. It had practically become the symbol of a Saint.

Now, an Eastern Cultivator had actually wielded the Power of Faith to slay a War Angel.

Who, then, is the true lamb in the Divine Kingdom of Light?

”Do not presume to spy upon my realm with your limited vision. How can a frog in a well comprehend the vastness of heaven and earth?” Lin Mu’s gaze was placid, his expression cold.

”Kill him! Exterminate this false Saint who blasphemes the divine! He is an outsider, an Evil Demon, a heretic! This is a test from God! Only by killing him can we ascend to ultimate bliss and return to the embrace of the God of Light! Kill him!”

Before Saint Joseph could speak, a black-robed cultivator behind him had already become hysterical. This was another Vice-Warden of the Prison of Divine Might, and his faith was far less steadfast than Saint Joseph’s. Everything Lin Mu had done had caused his belief in the God of Light and the Saints to waver. Only by killing Lin Mu could he restore his connection to the glory of the God of Light.

”Punishment!”

The Vice-Warden chanted from the scriptures. The Death Angel waved its Scepter of Authority, and waves of the Power of Death swept toward Lin Mu. Countless black tendrils of this power danced around his body, like a sky full of black smoke that could devour everything.

”Punishment!”

Within the Prison of Divine Might, hundreds of black-robed cultivators chanted in unison with the Vice-Warden. Streams of the Power of Faith merged into the Death Angel, causing a black Crown to appear on its head.

Majesty!

Punishment!

Divine Might!

Waves of unbelievable power surged from the Crown. The Power of Death solidified from an ethereal state, forming into claws of death that lunged for Lin Mu.

”I command death to recede!” Lin Mu once again extended a finger.

BOOM!

The Death Angel’s body shuddered as streams of white Power of Faith poured out of it, gathering at Lin Mu’s fingertip.

It was defeated. In a contest for the Power of Faith, the Death Angel had actually lost to an Eastern Cultivator.

A cataclysmic scene unfolded before the black-robed cultivators. For many, their faith collapsed. Amid agonizing wails, they were incinerated by the Power of Light within their own bodies. Even among the upper echelons of the Prison of Divine Might, some of the grand cultivators felt their faith waver as their light began to dissipate. The Vice-Warden himself spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes seared blind by his own Power of Light.

Passing through Lin Mu’s fingertip, the Power of Faith erupted into rays of white light, shooting out in all directions like the sun driving away the night. All of the Power of Death surrounding him dispersed. The claws it had formed crumbled to dust in the white light.

He was turning their own methods against them. Here, in the Prison of Divine Might, Lin Mu used the Church of Light’s greatest weapon—the Power of Faith—to crush their angel.

”Glory to my Lord!” Saint Joseph stepped forward. One hand touched the cross on his chest, while the other plunged into the back of the Flame Angel.

The Flame Angel let out a piercing cry, took half a step back, and merged with Saint Joseph.

At that moment, Saint Joseph was the Flame Angel, and the Flame Angel was Saint Joseph. Saint, Angel, and faith had become one: a trinity!

”Judgment!” Saint Joseph swung his sword. The fiery red Longsword, infused with faith and bearing the force of judgment, cleaved toward Lin Mu.

”For your cruelty, your merciless slaughter of living beings, I judge you guilty!”

”For blaspheming the divine, for defiling our faith, I judge you guilty!”

”For your tyranny, for oppressing the faithful, I judge you guilty!”

”For being a false god and a heretic, for stealing authority, I judge you guilty!”

Saint Joseph, holy and dignified, loomed from on high as he pronounced Lin Mu’s sins. The four great sins formed a cross of fire, its power unstoppable. By the might of a divine prison, he would judge the evils of the world and cast them into Hell.

At this moment, dark light swirled and resentment crisscrossed as the gates of Hell opened. Grotesque demons rushed at Lin Mu, pulling and tearing at him, trying to drag him into the abyss.

Lin Mu stood motionless, his demeanor perfectly calm. ”I am Emperor Zun. How dare the faith of a mere Savage God presume to judge me! Disperse!”

With a wave of his hand, the judgment forged from Saint Joseph and the Flame Angel’s fusion vanished into thin air.

”For offending the dignity of Emperor Zun, you deserve death!” Lin Mu’s eyes were icy as he took a step forward.

One Step, Rivers Shatter!

This step shattered not only rivers but also the Hell that Saint Joseph had summoned. The demons wailed as Hell collapsed. All illusions were trampled to dust beneath Lin Mu’s foot.

Having extinguished Hell with a single step, Lin Mu advanced again.

Terrify Ghosts and Gods with the Second Step!

An indescribable power surged from beneath his foot, sweeping over the fused form of Saint Joseph and the Flame Angel. If the second step could startle ghosts and gods, what chance did a mere War Angel serving a False God stand?

Under the force of this step, the Angel trembled. The flames shivered and peeled away from Saint Joseph’s body, falling from him like rain from the sky.

The trinity was broken.

Saint Joseph’s figure was revealed, his face having aged considerably in that instant.

”You…”

He tried to say something, but Lin Mu had already pointed a finger.

BANG!

The Warden of the Prison of Divine Might, the Child of Light, Saint Joseph, had his head burst open, a hole pierced straight through it. The Power of Light within him rushed toward the wound, trying to heal it, but it could not get close. The destructive force of Lin Mu’s single touch was immense; the mere Power of Light was utterly incapable of mending such an injury.

”An Arch-Heretic has come… only a Saint can slay the heretic… remember this, remember this!”

Even with his head shattered, Saint Joseph managed to utter these last words.

”Hmph!” Lin Mu snorted coldly and took another step.

Third Step: Heaven and Earth Change!

The void collapsed and the ground quaked. All living things trembled in terror. The followers of the Light were hit the hardest; they spat blood as their bodies convulsed, their Power of Light raging out of control. With that one step, the nearly thousand black-robed cultivators of the Prison of Divine Might were almost entirely wiped out. Only a few of the most deeply cultivated grand cultivators narrowly survived.

”Lin Wudi, you have destroyed my Prison of Divine Might! Your sin is unforgivable! When the Saints descend, it will be the day of Huaxia’s destruction!” an emaciated old cultivator roared at the heavens.

White light shot from his mouth, nose, and eyes, piercing the sky.

”Light!”

The few other surviving grand cultivators did the same, roaring to the sky as they emitted beams of white light. The light incinerated their bodies, transforming them into a great pillar of light that stood defiantly in the Prison of Divine Might.

”Prison of Divine Might, be obliterated!” Lin Mu stepped forward once more.

Four Steps Stars Tremble!

Countless meteors fell from the sky, crashing down upon the separate dimension where the Prison of Divine Might was located. The massive meteors struck the ground, sending shockwaves that turned every structure into rubble. Each meteor created a crater more than ten meters in diameter, and within these craters, everything was utterly destroyed. The ground, the buildings, and the cultivators were all incinerated and fused into crystal by the extreme heat.

Hundreds of meteors fell in a cataclysmic rain.

When it was over, the Prison of Divine Might had been completely wiped from the face of the earth.

「On this day.」

Lin Mu slew the War Angel and, with a few steps, obliterated the Prison of Divine Might. With the power of one man, he erased a thousand-year legacy.
