Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 401 - 154: Earth Deity: What on Earth Are You!? (A 10,000-word mega - , please subscribe)_4
"I’ve been the local Earth Deity for hundreds of years."
"How can you be so naive?"
Fan Wu instantly closed in on the Earth Deity of Guyuan County. As the Earth Deity’s eyes slightly widened, the Demon-slaying Sword, bursting with dazzling sword light, was already bearing down on his head.
Startled, the Earth Deity hastily urged the power of the gold ingot. A golden barrier again protected him.
Pfft!!!
Suddenly!
It sounded as if something had been punctured, and the Earth Deity’s facial expression instantly froze. He immediately looked down at his abdomen and saw...
Fan Wu’s left index finger, as sharp as any Magic Artifact in the world, glimmered with a faint and eerie black light. This finger had actually pierced through his barrier!
The tip of the index finger had even pierced through the Earth Deity’s divine robe and into his body!
He could feel a strange power coiling around Fan Wu’s index finger, a force not belonging to the domain of the mortal realm, beyond the nine heavens, which terrified him.
He reacted with swift reflexes, melting into the earth, and then reappeared a dozen steps away from Fan Wu.
His face full of lingering fear!
"You heretic, what kind of evil sorcery have you studied?" the Earth Deity exclaimed in shock. "This is definitely not a Daoist art!!"
Fan Wu candidly replied, "It was a gift from someone called the Devious Heavenly Sovereign. Do you know him?"
"Devious Heavenly Sovereign?" The Earth Deity was taken aback.
The title sounded quite intimidating, but to be honest, he had never heard of it.
"Oh! I forgot to mention." Fan Wu added, "He claims to be a Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain."
The Earth Deity’s complexion drastically changed!
The words "Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain" seemed to strike a nerve. The way he looked at Fan Wu was as if an ordinary person had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"You... you have connections with such beings? No... No, that’s not right! You’re just a mere mortal, a common man. How could you possibly have relations with such beings?"
The Earth Deity snapped back to his senses, believing that Fan Wu was only trying to intimidate him with some insider knowledge.
And he had actually believed it for a moment!
This realization left the Earth Deity of Guyuan County seething with anger, and amid his rage, there was a sense of being played. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Utter nonsense!" the Earth Deity of Guyuan County roared, no longer caring for the few ordinary civilians.
The wound on his lower abdomen healed at a visible speed.
His aura surged! An invisible power swept out in all directions, sending the bewitched civilians of Guyuan County flying.
"I shall eradicate you, this evil path!" The Earth Deity slammed his wooden staff on the ground, and divine power visibly poured into the earth.
The earth catapulted layers of soil spikes, a dense swarm of them, rolling toward Fan Wu like a tsunami.
Beneath him, a cloud of auspicious energy arose.
The cloud lifted his body into midair, and the divine robe draped over the Earth Deity left his body, visibly enlarging and descending like a curtain blocking out the sun.
The Earth Temple, covered in sword marks, levitated with him, and the Earth Deity maneuvered the auspicious cloud into the temple.
Sitting in the Earth Temple, he took his seat upon his divine altar.
An Incense Burner in front of the altar started shaking rapidly.
A copious amount of incense power overflowed from the burner.
Which he inhaled with a breath.
Into his mouth.
The Earth Temple slowly tilted downwards, its doors aligned directly below.
The Earth Deity’s abdomen and chest inflated like a balloon, swelling increasingly.
Suddenly!
He opened his mouth!
He opened wide.
He exhaled!
A radiant beam filled with divine light, like a punitive strike from the heavens, blasted directly downwards! As the radiant beam touched the Earth Deity’s sun-blocking divine robe, the robe dissolved into particles of divine light that merged into the beam.
Enlarging the radiant beam even further, its diameter reached at least ten meters!!
Equivalent to over thirty feet of the Great Zhou Dynasty!!
In that instant...
The skies of Guyuan County turned white.
As if it were daylight!
...
At a distance, the Chief Flag Officer of the Imperial Skywatch, who had finally come to his senses, turned to look toward the commotion and saw a dazzlingly bright beam of light falling from the sky.
The radiant beam carried an endless aura of death, as though all things in the world would turn to ash under its presence.
He helplessly watched the beam strike the ground far away, and at this moment, all the scenes in front of him were shrouded in blinding light.
Accompanying that... was a tsunami-like shockwave rushing toward him.
The blast ground trees to dust.
Blasted boulders to pieces.
Tore through the earth’s crust, lowering the ground by several inches.
The earth shook wildly!
The ground cracked inch by inch!
The Chief Flag Officer only felt as if an invisible chariot was charging at him, not pulled by horses, but by massive elephants weighing tons each.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body uncontrollably flew backward.
His Imperial Skywatch robe was torn to shreds, exposing the undergarments beneath, leaving him in utter disarray.
