Chapter 314: Higher Deity, Unbeatable
Deities were all greedy, especially when it came to matters concerning power of faith.
It was no exaggeration to say that as long as they were capable of doing so, any deity would do their utmost best to seize all the power of faith they could seize.
Nobody would dislike having more power of faith!
Take the Titan Spiritual God, for example.
Back then, after he had left Heaven’s Vault Continent, he had done all he could to expand his territory and occupy more material planes.
Even after he had received over 100 existential planes as power of faith domains later on, he had still continued to expand his territory. He hadn’t become content with the amount of power of faith he already had.
In fact, the Titan Spiritual God would even kill the Beast God and seize his power of faith domains without any hesitation if he was strong enough to.
Thus, the Titan Spiritual God had instantly felt a sense of crisis when the Beast God told him that it was extremely likely that Meng Lei would become a higher deity before he did.
If he were Meng Lei...
He would definitely attack the Beast God and himself without any hesitation, take over their power of faith domains, and occupy all the existential planes that he could occupy.
“Damn it!”
After he understood all these, the Titan Spiritual God couldn’t help but curse under his breath. He felt utterly frustrated.
“Kronos, you should face reality.”
The Beast God sighed and said, “We have to form an alliance so that we can respond to the crisis that will highly likely happen in the future. Of course, you’re the Theodore clan’s target of priority grooming, so you can also request for aid from them during moments of danger.”
“Request for aid?”
The Titan Spiritual God gnashed his teeth as he said, “If mere human trash can push me into a corner so badly that I have to request for aid from the clan, then I’d rather die!”
“Kronos, you’re too prideful!”
At the other side...
Meng Lei turned to the black-robed middle-aged man after he defeated the Dark Demonic Dragons. He said, “Actually, you could’ve launched a sneak attack on me when I was fighting them just now.”
“A sneak attack?”
The black-robed middle-aged man dusted off the imaginary dust on his robe and said, “Do you think I need to resort to sneak attacks when it’s you that I’m up against? You think too highly of yourself.”
“Is that so?”
Meng Lei narrowed his eyes slightly.
“You should know why I’m here.”
The black-robed middle-aged man said aloofly, “Hand over that thing and offer up your divine spirit origin energy, and I’ll show you some mercy and spare your life.”
“I’ve always been the one saying that in the past. Little did I expect there would come a day when someone else says it to me instead. It’s really like what they say, ‘What goes around comes around’.”
Meng Lei shook his head and chuckled lightly. Then, he said, “I’m returning those very same lines to you instead, though. Get onto your knees, beg for mercy, and offer up your divine spirit origin energy, and I’ll spare your life!”
“You worm, you’re courting death!”
The black-robed middle-aged man’s eyes turned cold. Then he raised his right arm and flicked his fingers. A strong gust of wind shot from his fingers with a whoosh and instantly struck Meng Lei on the chest.
“Ugh!”
As though it were piercing through weak, fragile tofu, it actually pierced through Meng Lei’s terrifyingly and incredibly tough and sturdy divine body that could withstand the Dark Demonic Dragons’ chaotic bombardment of attacks. It made a pitch-dark and bloody hole in him in a split second.
Divine blood flowed out of the wound as severe pain assaulted his nerves. Immense shock came over Meng Lei as he gazed at the bloody hole in his chest.
What a fast and sharp attack! I actually couldn’t react at all!
“Meng Lei, he’s a higher deity!”
Dodola gave him a timely warning.
“A higher deity!”
“He’s actually a higher deity!”
In the sky, a great distance away, a huge jolt went through the Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God at the same time. Looks of incredulity also surfaced in their eyes almost simultaneously.
“That guy is actually a higher deity!”
The Beast God murmured to himself, “I should have thought of that a long time ago. How can an intermediate deity possibly subdue that many Demon God-level subordinates?”
“Just what kind of huge secret is that kid carrying on him? He’s alarmed even a higher deity?”
The Titan Spiritual God found this inconceivable.
“Who knows? In any case, that secret has nothing to do with us anymore.”
The Beast God let out a faint sigh and added, “That kid’s doomed for sure, and the secret on him will also be taken from him.
“Here’s hoping that that higher deity will leave after he’s gotten his hands on the secret. Otherwise, we’ll be in danger.”
The Titan Spiritual God nodded slightly.
...
“Master!”
“Master has been wounded!”
“To think the opponent is actually so strong!”
At the sight of the other party inflicting an injury on Meng Lei with just a single move, blood drained from Sacas, Puhaman, and the others’ faces. Worry and concern filled their eyes.
“I had guessed that you’re a higher deity, but it didn’t occur to me that a higher deity would actually possess such fearsome abilities. This is truly hard to imagine!”
Despite suffering an injury on the chest, Meng Lei didn’t show any fear. Instead, there was even a hint of marvel on his countenance as he remarked, “You surprisingly didn’t disappoint!”
“Worm, I’ll give you a chance.”
The black-robed middle-aged man ordered with an aloof expression on his countenance, “Hand over that thing, and I’ll spare your life!”
“You can say that later instead!”
Meng Lei resumed his human form and said, “The only thing on my mind is having a proper battle with you right now. Come on, show me what a higher deity is capable of!”
“You’re courting death!”
The black-robed middle-aged man’s countenance turned cold, and another strong gust of wind shot toward Meng Lei. However, Meng Lei vanished from where he was without waiting for the gust of wind to hit him this time.
By the time he reappeared, he had already shown up bizarrely behind the black-robed middle-aged man. The Grim Reaper Scythe appeared out of nowhere and swung right at his head.
“It’s useless!”
The black-robed middle-aged man shook his head lightly. As though he had eyes at the back of his head, his head tilted slightly to the side and easily dodged the incredibly sharp Grim Reaper Scythe. Then, he raised his right fist and smashed it behind him, striking Meng Lei right on his chest.
“Ugh!”
A wave of great force assaulted Meng Lei. He felt as if a heavy hammer had hit him on the chest. Intense, severe pain came over him, and he coughed up blood right away.
“Nice one!”
Meng Lei teleported and appeared some distance away. There was blood at the corners of his lips. He said, “Higher deities are indeed powerful and mighty. Looks like normal physical attacks really can’t do anything to you at all.”
“Stop your futile and useless struggling.” The black-robed middle-aged man said aloofly, “The more you struggle, the more despair you’ll only feel.”
“Is that so?”
Meng Lei teleported behind him again. Two bursts of black flames suddenly shot out of his eyes and struck the black-robed middle-aged man.
Boom!
The black flames immediately started to blaze away upon landing and appeared to be spreading.
The black-robed middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly. Black fog rose from his hand. Then, he actually flung away the black flames on him with a casual swipe.
“Netherworld Divine Fire!” The black-robed middle-aged man’s eyes bore into Meng Lei. “You’re a descendant of the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes?”
Meng Lei didn’t answer him. Instead, he was looking at the Netherworld Divine Fire that had been flung aside. He said, “Even the Netherworld Divine Fire is ineffective on you. Looks like I’m really out of options.”
“Stop the meaningless struggles.”
The black-robed middle-aged man said coldly, “I don’t care whether you’re part of the Grim Reapers or a Divine Netherworld Phoenix descendant. Hand over that thing. Otherwise—”
“I had originally intended to kill you and devour your life force so that I can break through to the higher deity stage, but it evidently looks like I can’t do that anymore.”
Meng Lei sighed. “Now that things have come to such a pass, I’ve been forced to use my ultimate skill. System, how much does it cost to plunder his life force?”
“Ding! The target is a higher deity and possesses extremely strong combat power. Plundering his life force requires 6,000,000 Divinity Crystals,” replied the system coldly.
“What about plundering his divine core?”
“8,000,000 Divinity Crystals.”
“Fine, I won’t plunder. Use Super Enhancement to enhance my divine body instead!”
Whoosh!
