American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 463 - 439: The Death of God_3
Xu Yi's body violently retreated, but what was horrifying was that the "Leeches" suddenly accelerated, leaving Xu Yi no time to react.
The instant the "Leeches" touched Xu Yi's arm, they vanished like wisps of light smoke.
They entered Xu Yi's body!
"Ancient God Blood!"
The moment that substance entered his body, Xu Yi suddenly realized where they came from, but it was already too late.
A heavy darkness enveloped him; there was no longer any light in front of his eyes. His consciousness gradually sank, and he had no chance to resist as he plunged into the icy seawater.
This so-called Ancient God Blood was the origin of darkness, the filthiest thing in the world.
Some of the Ancient God Blood drifted towards Xu Yi; the rest split in two, drifting towards the gods and West.
The bound gods sensed death approaching and trembled violently, but unfortunately, they could not break free from the black cocoons anytime soon.
Every black cocoon was attacked by the Ancient God Blood. The light inside the cocoons brightened greatly but soon dimmed and finally disappeared completely.
The black cocoons shriveled like deflated balls, and no trace of the gods' presence could be felt anymore.
West, being the furthest from the Ancient God, was the last to face the Ancient God Blood. With the precedent right before his eyes, he forcibly suppressed the terror in his heart and connected with the World Tree within him.
The already lush World Tree behind him grew again, its dense leaves twining into a green giant egg that tightly protected West.
That Ancient God Blood could easily penetrate the Dark Sun but couldn't pass through the gaps of the branches.
When the Origin Blood met the World Tree, it ignited like a flame touching gasoline, instantly transforming into a swirling inferno.
The dark flames burned the branches of the World Tree, and thick smoke billowed as the burned branches were immediately replaced by new growth.
Xu Yi was completely unaware of the events outside.
Surrounded by intense darkness, he could only faintly see the chalky wall plaster; the alleys here branched in all directions, seemingly endless.
He mechanically moved forward, his steps becoming heavier and heavier. His mind felt foggy, like a rusted machine, unable to think about anything.
He walked slower and slower, the light in his pupils dimming to nearly invisible.
He was completely lost in this soul cage.
In the cold seawater, the Mokoduo Giant Lizard stared at Xu Yi's body, its crimson pupils filled with greed.
Xu Yi's Divine Body was nothing less than a supreme feast for Dark Creatures.
The moment the Mokoduo Giant Lizard lunged at Xu Yi, a long knife split the seawater and pierced through the lizard's head; the lizard, carrying the stench of blood, plunged into the deep sea.

A figure embraced Xu Yi, who was floating in the sea, and reached out to touch his carotid artery. When she felt a faint pulse between her fingers, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"This time, let me protect you," Ailan muttered softly.
Another blast of hot magma erupted from the seafloor, briefly illuminating the pitch-black ocean. Ailan instinctively turned her head to look, locking eyes with the colossal creature in the sea, her body uncontrollably trembling.
The Ancient God had only its upper body free, its lower half still buried in the seabed. It stared at Xu Yi and Ailan but did not make a move.
It wasn't because it was overly prideful, thinking Xu Yi was undoubtedly doomed, or considering Ailan an insignificant bug.
It didn't act because it couldn't; it was extremely weak at the moment.
First its soul was severely damaged, followed by the use of the Origin Blood's power; even with Dark Creatures as nourishment, it couldn't recover quickly.
It now resembled a sculpture sunk in the deep sea, struggling even to lift a finger.
But this didn't mean it couldn't deal with Ailan; countless shadows surged from all directions, the dense crimson pupils startlingly illuminating the seafloor.
Surrounded by Dark Creatures with nowhere to escape, Ailan's breath quickened. She lowered her head to glance at Xu Yi in her arms, her expression gradually firming.
She knew well that the moment to sacrifice everything had arrived!
Semi-translucent flames rose from Ailan's body, and although they did not harm Xu Yi, Ailan's body melted away like snow.
"Sister!" Ailan murmured softly.
Two ethereal figures gradually materialized around her form. Their faces were identical, but their expressions differed drastically; one's eyes and brows were gentle like water, while the other's were as sharp as a knife.
Ailan and Maria, being twin souls, usually had one controlling the body while the other lay dormant.
But now, they appeared together.
This was because they had sacrificed their body in exchange for powerful soul power. Their souls materialized gradually, eventually becoming indistinguishable from real humans.
This came at a cost. Once the body was sacrificed, the soul became rootless and would eventually dissipate as well.
In other words, after this battle, their death was certain.
The body completely dissolved, and the black combat suit was carried away by the sea, leaving only a wooden box held in hand.
Slowly, the box was opened, revealing two wooden swords inside, charred all over, clearly having been through a great fire. Only occasional blue spots could give a hint of the swords' original appearance.
"Seven Deadly Sins," now dormant, had weakened their combat power significantly without their proper weapons. But it didn't matter, as they had prepared more suitable weapons.
Mythical Holy Artifact: the twin blades of Nikundin.
The blades had been forged from the branches of the Soul Mother Tree, which had long vanished into the river of time.
Because the branches could not be replenished from the Origin, they would eventually dissipate as well.
The twin blades of Nikundin could only be used a few times, but for Maria and Ailan, they were sufficient.
Only in their soul forms could they maximize the power of this mythical holy artifact.
A colorless fire ignited on the blades of Nikundin that all the Dark Creatures could sense the trembling of the soul.
Maria and Ailan grabbed Xu Yi and charged at the dark creatures like unstoppable Valkyries.
Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield.
A massive Black Widow spider crashed down, its green blood tainting a patch of the sea. The surrounding Dark Creatures seemed momentarily intimidated, the assailant fighting fiercely regardless of their own life.
Lisa surveyed the wave-like surge of Dark Creatures, her eyes brimming with intent of death.
Even in this moment, she couldn't accept what had happened; her daughter's life plate had suddenly cracked, signaling the end of her life.
If it hadn't been for Xu Yi's peril forcing her to divert her attention, she might have gone mad by now.
The demonized Black Carp roared repeatedly, carrying Lisa on its back, making several attempts to dive into the sea to rescue Xu Yi, but was repelled each time by the swarming Dark Creatures.
Just then, semi-translucent pillars of fire rose from the sea, causing the Dark Creatures touched by the flames to drop like withered leaves.
Two identical Marias burst from the sea, and the moment Lisa saw them, she understood what was happening.
"Xu Yi, I leave it to you," Maria said to Lisa, her voice hoarse and fading, like a dying tape player.
Lisa's eyes instantly reddened.
She and Maria had never gotten along over the years, but now, sensing the imminent dissipation of the other, her heart ached inexplicably.
She wanted to say something to Maria, but the situation didn't allow it. The Dark Creatures, momentarily pushed back by the flames, surged forward again.
Maria handed over the unconscious Xu Yi to Lisa, then turned with Ailan and plunged toward the Dark Creatures, attempting to create a path of escape for Lisa.
The semi-translucent soul flames dimmed, and the bodies of Maria and Ailan became increasingly ethereal. They were at their limit and were quickly engulfed by the Dark Creatures.
Tears fell from the corners of Lisa's eyes.
