The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Scheming and Final Battle

A brilliant light swept out, and Shen Mo’s figure appeared within the God Realm.

With the shape and essence of the Wind God fading away, this God Realm was on the brink of collapse like foam under the sun, and it wouldn’t be long before it completely disappeared from this world!

”Buzz!”

Shen Mo raised a talisman, and after using Divine Power to activate the Divine Runes on it, he left this God Realm.

With both feet on the solid ground, he looked up at the blazing sun high above the firmament, his heart filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that this world was actually shaped from the corpse of a Nature Deity?

If his previous speculation was true, once the Empyrean Fairy was resurrected, she would likely become the executor of the remnants of the old era in the universe, just like the Heavenly Demon, significantly enhancing the infiltrating powers of the old era. Yet, he was powerless to stop this process.

After hearing his account, Guan Ling remained silent for a long time and then sent him back to the cultivation world, clearly determined to resurrect the Empyrean Fairy.

If it were elsewhere, Shen Mo’s abilities might stop Guan Ling, but in this Cosmic Ruins, he couldn’t use his Immortal Dao cultivation, and even his return to the Immortal Realm depended entirely on Guan Ling’s will, leaving him with no means to deal with her.

Moreover, the formation of the cultivation world, the burial of the Empyrean Fairy’s corpse in this realm, the emergence of divine phenomena from the Immortal Corpse Fragments, and other events were clearly the handiwork of the remnants of the old days. Even if he could persuade Guan Ling to give up collecting her master’s remains, the result would remain unchanged...

Even if Guan Ling had never intervened, the million-odd fake gods in this realm would still war and merge, eventually bringing all the Immortal Corpse Fragments together, birthing a true deity. It was just a matter of time.

Besides, Shen Mo believed that the remnants of the old era had laid this scheme with countless efforts, and there would surely be other contingencies.

After all, from the time the corpse of a Nature Deity drifted into the Cosmic Ruins, they had been planning this for millions of years, and even the downfall of the Empyrean Fairy was likely just a part of the plan...

It was like a dense and sturdy web, entrapping the Empyrean Fairy, Guan Ling, and these big fish, while Shen Mo, not yet having cultivated into an immortal, was at most a small fish or shrimp in this net, struggling in vain to break free!

”Since Guan Ling has no intention of stopping, I shall complete my oath with her and then return directly to the Immortal Realm!”

Shen Mo secretly calculated in his heart. Although he could not prevent the resurrection of the Empyrean Fairy, he could kill fewer fake gods and delay her resurrection, preventing any earth-shattering changes in the Immortal Realm before he became a True Immortal.

Subsequently, he took out a blank talisman from an iron box and inscribed the newly obtained Sevenfold God Rune upon it.

The effect of this Sevenfold God Rune is to ”amplify,” allowing the original power of any basic or multiple Divine Runes to be enhanced to an unbelievable level when activated with Divine Power!

However, Shen Mo’s vision of the Nature Deity’s corpse was not due to the activation of this rune’s effect, but because the appearance of the Sevenfold God Rune unintentionally triggered a strong resonance with the remnants of divine runes dispersed between heaven and earth, momentarily transforming into this world’s ”will of heaven and earth.”

In fact, the will of heaven and earth in this world can be regarded as remnants of the Nature Deity’s own will;

After acquiring the Sixfold Divine Rune of hearing all things’ ”voices,” Shen Mo had once listened to the ”voice” of the entire cultivation world and found its will of heaven and earth ashen and silent, like heavy chains, completely unlike the lively will of the Immortal Realm!

If it weren’t for the Sevenfold God Rune’s appearance, triggering a strong resonance with the remaining rune traces, he would never have glimpsed the truth of this world’s formation.

...

The decisive battle between the Qing Country’s army and the allied forces of various countries, and between the Long Eared God’s camp and other fake god camps, erupted without warning after hundreds of skirmishes!

Including top fake gods like the Flame Sun God and Silver Moon God, more than fifteen thousand Righteous and Evil Gods together transformed Yi Country’s territory into an extraordinary space similar to a God Realm, sweeping all allied soldiers and god disciples into it; naturally, Shen Mo, Chen Mengze, and Jiang Yingying were also involved, falling into the godly battlefield with all allied fake gods and their disciples.

The ferocity of this battle is difficult to describe in words.

The Long Eared God camp had only over 700 fake gods, utterly incomparable to the allied forces. However, the presence of more than two thousand contracted cultivators turned this disadvantageous situation around.

Even a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, without the ability to use divine power, divine runes, or gifted armors and weapons, could still slay weaker fake gods with mere physical power and martial arts skills; once they became a Long Eared God disciple, they could utilize a myriad of divine methods, as well as wield the gifted armors and weapons crafted over the years at Shen Mo’s behest, significantly enhancing their combat capabilities, reaching the level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and easily slaughtering ordinary fake gods!

The capabilities of the Divine Bridge Realm and Formless Realm even more so, their power comparable to the Martial Might God, while fake gods stronger than the Martial Might God in the allied camp were few and far between.

This group of contracted cultivators constitutes the pinnacle strength of the Long Eared God camp, and under their frenzied massacre, fake gods fell one by one, with godly blood staining the pikes and divine corpses littering the battlefield!

Among the clashes of other fake god disciples, however, Shen Mo’s side was at a disadvantage. The allied force had too many divine experts, with a multitude of divine methods emerging endlessly, surpassing Shen Mo’s camp in both quantity and power; fortunately, as more fake gods fell on the other side, the disciples, bereft of divine power, would immediately become mere mortals, providing temporary respite for the allied fake god disciples.

Shen Mo left Chen Mengze and Jiang Yingying at the rear for them to protect the Long Eared God, while he himself activated the Destiny of [Riding the Clouds and Mist], charging toward the top fake gods like the Flame Sun God and Silver Moon God.

Their divine nature, authority, and overall power were slightly superior to the Ear Wisdom God. Yet, under the influence of multiple methods, Shen Mo’s physical vitality was prominent even among the True Immortal Realm, akin to a Nature Deity; having also seized the Long Eared God’s authority, his divine methods were comparable to those of fake gods like the Flame Sun God and Silver Moon God, and with the Sevenfold God Rune amplifying many divine runes’ effects, even the strongest fake gods in this realm found it hard to rival him!

Half an hour into the war, Shen Mo sliced through the Silver Moon God’s body with a sword, causing its esoteric Dao runes to begin disintegrating. Three hours later, the divine armors and weapons he wielded were melted by the Flame Sun God’s power of the sun, yet with his bare iron fists, he pounded the Flame Sun God’s body into ruins.

Countless other strong fake gods of similar levels perished!

Once a fake god was slain, its disciples would instantly lose all divine power, with the scales of victory tipping swiftly in favor of the Long Eared God camp.
