Chapter 392 - 393 Chapter 398 The Sigh of the Deity

393: Chapter 398: The Sigh of the Deity 393: Chapter 398: The Sigh of the Deity Within the Divine King Pure Land, Flower Rain drifted down, crystal clear.

Under the sacred tree, the White-clothed Divine King was stained with blood, pierced by a Divine Spear.

Yet, he remained motionless, black hair cascading down, his jade-like face serene, eyes tightly closed, like a deity.

“Divine Spirit Blood…” the Dark Night King cried out.

Divine blood, like smoke and mist, climbed up the Golden Divine Spear, setting his body aflame and emitting a blinding firelight.

He was in extreme pain yet unable to escape.

“Why?!” His Golden Divine Robe was resplendent and dazzling, exuding the aura of a deity, but it couldn’t change anything, unable to stop the raging flames.

Because the Golden Divine Robe did not cover every inch of his skin, the divine blood burned through his hands and into his body, and the robe could not stop it.

BOOM!

His internal organs were all set aflame.

The Golden Divine Robe was brilliant but incapable of shielding everything within.

The Dark Night King’s disheveled hair flew as he roared towards the sky.

He struggled intensely, but it was to no avail.

The unparalleled Divine King’s hands were as unshakable as the roots of the earth, gripping the Divine Spear, motionless, like an eternal deity.

BOOM!

Crimson clouds shot into the sky, and flames burst in all directions.

The Dark Night King’s head was also set ablaze; his young and spirited face turned deathly pale, completely distorted.

“I am the Lord of Dark Night, reigning over the world!

No one can kill me!” he howled towards the sky, stirring the forces of the Dao, trying to extinguish the flames, but it had no effect.

The divine flame enveloped him, illuminating the Pure Land, like the first light at the creation of heaven and earth—sacredly serene yet containing infinite, terrifying power.

The Dark Night King was unwilling.

Gripping the Golden Battle Spear tightly, he wanted to pull it from the unparalleled Divine King’s body to completely rid himself of it all.

Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain; he was fixed in place, unable to move at all.

The people in the Divine City were all astonished.

They had thought the Divine King had been slain, only to realize he possessed such methods and intended to burn the King of the Central States to ashes.

“The sages revive!” the Dark Night King shouted loudly.

At this critical moment, if he found no solution, he would surely die; the divine blood had burned into his very bones.

BUZZ!

The Golden Divine Robe on his body shone brilliantly, as if it had life, trembling continuously.

This was a divine armor refined by ancient sages, nearly unbreakable by anyone under Heaven, except for a Great Emperor.

It could be said that this was a divine artifact cultivators dreamed of but found almost unattainable—an absolute rarity.

“The Lord of Dark Night, eternal and immortal, the bloodline reborn!” He was relying on the power of the Golden Divine Robe, reviving his dormant silver blood and unleashing an inexplicable, terrifying potential.

RUMBLE!

The sound of a tsunami arose.

Silver blood seeped from his skin, transforming into pure white flames that burned against the crimson Divine Blood, attempting to expel it.

At this moment, the divine armor of the ancient sages gradually revived, providing him with endless divine energy.

The Dark Night King roared, shattering the void, and slowly but resolutely pulled the Divine Spear from the Divine King’s body.

Then, he transformed into a ray of light and rushed out of the Divine King Pure Land.

He roared continuously in the night sky, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

This howl was heart-wrenching.

Many cultivators could not bear it and were shocked unconscious, collapsing.

“Ah…” With one last roar, the Dark Night King seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

His flesh was almost burnt to charcoal, but he finally extinguished the flames.

“Jiang Taixu…

you injured me like this!

I will refine your divine blood to make up for all this!” The Dark Night King’s voice was icy and chilling, striking terror into all who heard it.

SPLURT!

His charred and cracked body emitted streams of silver blood, covering him entirely.

Then, constant flashes of Holy Light, like moonlight, illuminated him completely.

BOOM!

Pure white flames burned.

He was reborn from them; his dry and cracked body rejuvenated with the vitality of life, becoming as tender as a baby’s skin.

He had revived.

During this process, the Golden Divine Robe on his body constantly trembled.

Radiating with great brilliance, as if breathing, it contained endless life force.

What on earth is his physique?

Why does he have silver blood?

Many in the Divine City were uncertain and suspicious.

The Dark Night King’s physique was terrifying, not inferior to the Eastern Wastelands’ Divine Body.

“He possesses the divine armor of ancient sages!

What is to be done?” The Jiang Family members all showed worry.

Such an unparalleled divine artifact was nearly unbreakable.

Although the Jiang Family possessed one, they hadn’t brought it.

“Jiang Taixu, how can you contend with me now?!” Relying on the divine armor of ancient sages and holding the Golden Battle Spear, the Dark Night King pierced through the Divine King Pure Land again, stepping inside easily.

This time, he did not act rashly.

Pointing the Divine Spear forward, an unseen killing intent emerged, forming an unstoppable sharpness that rushed towards Jiang Taixu.

The sacred tree swayed and petals danced.

The Divine King, in his blood-stained white robe, remained unmoving, as if he had truly passed away under the tree.

A clear hole pierced through his chest; the bleeding had stopped.

“Jiang Taixu, you broke through to the Great Success Divine King realm, but ultimately your life force is exhausted!” the Dark Night King sneered.

“My blood, though not transformed like yours into a Divine Bloodline, has more vigor than yours!” “If you want to kill me, there’s no need for more words.

Come forward.

Your hesitation is because you are afraid.” Finally, the unparalleled Divine King spoke, though his eyes remained closed.

“Afraid?

Ridiculous!

I have the divine armor of ancient sages, invincible under Heaven!

Who can match me?

Even if you were at your peak state, you would have no chance!” SWISH!

A peerless sharpness appeared.

Jiang Taixu sat cross-legged under the sacred tree, yet his entire body’s Life Qi, harmonized with the Dao, struck out!

This was a white-clothed Divine King, almost identical to Jiang Taixu, born through Harmonization.

He instantly appeared before the Dark Night King, an incomparable pressure engulfing everything!

This was a divine might, as if creating heaven and earth, seemingly returning to the era when all things were first born.

No one could remain unafraid.

“Ah…” The Dark Night King screamed, his black disheveled hair flailing.

His Golden Divine Spear pointed to the sky, countering the unparalleled Divine King’s manifested form’s astonishing strike, while his Golden Divine Robe shone as bright as the sun, thoroughly burning.

DONG!

The firmament ripped apart.

The unparalleled Divine King struck with all his might, as if piercing through all of ancient and modern times, unleashing the ultimate power of the Dao!

Everyone in the Divine City was overwhelmed by this supreme power, crumpling to the ground, unable to stand.

BANG!

The Dark Night King was struck out of the Pure Land and flung towards the horizon.

He then plummeted down, coughing up blood that scattered below, reducing vast stretches of palaces to dust.

Though the King of the Central States was severely injured, he felt no pain.

Instead, he smiled as he coughed blood, saying, “Jiang Taixu, you’re finished!” Within the Divine King Pure Land, the unparalleled Divine King swayed, almost collapsing under the sacred tree, as if he had exhausted his life’s essence and all his life force.

“Your strongest attack—the Fighting Saint Technique—has been unleashed!

How can you still fight me?!” the Dark Night King shouted while coughing blood.

“The divine armor of ancient sages is impenetrable; you cannot harm my core!” He laughed uproariously, his previously heroic face now almost grotesque.

“Divine King Ancestor!” The Jiang Family cried out sorrowfully, unable to bear watching any longer.

“Haha…” The seven Saint Master Level figures laughed, finally exhaling a sigh of relief.

The Divine King was nearing death, marking the end of an era and releasing them from their anxieties.

“Jiang Taixu, I want the Purple Mountain Emperor Path!

I want the nine secret arts!

Then I’ll send you on your way!” The Dark Night King strode up to the heavens, truly exuding the supreme majesty of a king ruling the world.

Inside the Divine City, everyone was filled with dread.

The Eastern Wastelands Divine King and the King of the Central States had existed for over four thousand years without decay; their legendary confrontation was finally concluding.

POP!

The Divine King Pure Land, hailed as unbreakable, was nevertheless pierced through with ease, as if by a Divine Spear of an ancient sage, allowing the Dark Night King to stride in effortlessly.

“Your Pure Land can’t even block me!

Do you still wish to struggle?

How will you face the ultimate divine artifact left by ancient sages?!” The Dark Night King roared, raising the Divine Spear to the sky before slowly pointing it toward Jiang Taixu’s throat.

“Dark Night King, you exploit weakness!

What kind of king are you?

Killing my family’s Divine King like this means the Jiang Family will relentlessly fight you to the death!” some elderly members of the Jiang Family shouted, their eyes tearful.

Jiang Yun even made a solemn vow to the heavens, shouting, “If our family’s Divine King falls, the Jiang Family’s ‘reserve power’ will be fully unleashed!

Whether you are backed by Sacred Lands or the Central States’ Immortal Dynasty, we will wield the Hengyu Holy Furnace to sweep you away!” “I am the Lord of Dark Night!

I’ve roamed the world unchallenged; who dares to threaten me?

I am determined to kill Jiang Taixu!” The Dark Night King unleashed his assault, deadly intent engulfing the entire Pure Land.

Under the sacred tree, the White-clothed Divine King embraced Fairy Caiyun, his expression calm, devoid of joy or sorrow, showing no fear of death.

The Divine King had regrets.

Four millennia of separation condensed into a heavy sigh.

He turned to face the Dark Night King, letting out another light sigh.

“You…” The Dark Night King was struck as if by lightning, his entire form frozen.

His deadly intent dispelled; his soul nearly scattered!

CLANG!

The Golden War Spear in his hand fell to the ground.

A crack appeared on his brow, a thread of blood oozing out.

Disbelief was written across his face as he struggled to speak, “The Godly Sigh…” He fell backward into the Pure Land, hardly able to believe it all.

His expression twisted, unable to accept this result.

“Is it truly…

The Godly Sigh?!” “Ancient God Kings, upon reaching the Peak, could manifest godly power.

Few have managed this through the ages, yet the Jiang Family’s Divine King showcased it in a dire crisis!” Everyone was astounded; all of this was beyond their expectations.

Why could it penetrate the divine armor of ancient sages and invade my flesh and soul…?

The Dark Night King was unwilling.

The ultimate divine artifact was unharmed, yet he had been pierced through.

The Godly Sigh had destroyed all his life essence!

CLANG!

The divine armor of ancient sages, a rare treasure possessing life, detached itself from the Dark Night King.

Along with the War Spear, it transformed into golden Divine Light, shooting out of the Pure Land.

BOOM!

A Domain Gate appeared in the sky.

A Great Emperor’s Holy Weapon, which had been confronting the Hengyu Furnace, unleashed billions of lightning bolts, tearing open space, and traversed the void to depart.

The divine armor of ancient sages followed closely behind it, entering the gate and vanishing in an instant, leaving no trace.

PUFF!

In the Pure Land, the Dark Night King shattered, his body and spirit both annihilated.

“Dead!

The Dark Night King has been slain!” “Jiang Taixu released The Godly Sigh, killing his mortal foe!” The seven Saint Master Level figures had pale faces.

Each rushed in a different direction, aware that their great calamity had arrived.

Unfortunately, all this was predestined; they could not escape.

The unparalleled Divine King stepped out of the Pure Land.

The Hengyu Holy Furnace swiftly flew above his head, and in a blink, he vanished.

In the Divine City, if there are too many top-tier warriors, their Blood Qi, like dragons, will soar to the sky, making it impossible to conceal their presence.

BOOM!

To the north, the first dragon-like pillar of Blood Qi extinguished, indicating the demise of a top-tier warrior.

BOOM!

To the west, the second dragon-shaped pillar of Blood Qi extinguished; another top-tier warrior had vanished from the world!

“The unparalleled Divine King has made his move, displaying thunderous divine might!” “His speed is too fast!

In an instant, he has already slain two top-tier warriors!” “Tonight, the Divine City is destined to be stained with the blood of top-tier warriors!” Everyone was astonished.

This night was sure to be recorded in the annals of cultivation history!
