The phantom emerging from the Sky Gate was radiated with divine energy. As soon as it appeared, everyone present felt their souls tremble, even feeling the urge to kneel and bow in worship.
"Is that really a god?"
People were terrified, staring at the transparent phantom, feeling fear deep within their souls. The god was a powerful being who stood above all beings and could control the fate of all beings.
Those four phantoms appeared, terrifying divine power surging, and the world trembled continuously, as if unable to contain them.
"This is bad, the passage is mostly open. Although the gods cannot descend in true form, the souls of the avatars can descend." Ma Ruyun's expression changed. She hadn't expected this dark battle to involve so much that even the gods of the previous generation would be involved.
Although Ma Ruyun is a follower of the God of Wealth, she still lacks the ability to bring the power of the God of Wealth down.
Clearly, this was a deadly battle with no chance left for the Tianwu Continent. If Ye Ming and the others were possessed by the Celestial God, they would enter another level—the demigod state.
Moreover, the otherworldly army was too large. Even with support from the powerful figures of the Eternal Path, the Spirit Realm, and the Star Domain Divine Realm, they could only maintain a defensive stance, with counterattacks impossible.
In other words, they could only watch helplessly as their celestial gods possessed them. The High Priest looked at Long Chen and saw the embryonic shape of the imperial Dao crown faintly visible above his head.
Perhaps because of this, the Nine-Headed Lion and the others were so anxious. If Long Chen were to become emperor, it would be a disaster for them.
"Buzz"
The void trembled. Ye Ming's eyes changed, as if he had become a different person. Divine power surged around him, and behind him was a faint shadow.
Ye Ming was the first to complete the Divine Possession. He stepped on the void and charged at Long Chen first.
"Block him!"
Mo Nian shouted, the four divine artifacts trembling as they charged toward Ye Ming. The divine light of the four supreme artifacts trembled as they joined forces to resist.
"Boom!"
Aman, Mo Nian, Ye Zhiqiu, and Ziyan all spat blood wildly and were sent flying. Together, the four of them still couldn't stop Ye Ming, who was in demigod form.
"A bunch of ants, and you dare block my path?"
Ye Ming sneered, his voice hoarse and strange, repeating as if two people were speaking at the same time.
"Buzz!"
Ye Ming charged forward, suddenly the earth split open, and a wooden pillar tens of thousands of miles thick shot up into the sky, severing the world. It was the Wood Barrier simultaneously activated by the Life Tree God and the Mother Tree, blocking Ye Ming's front.
"Descendants of the Immortal Spirit Clan, and you dare come to court?"
Ye Ming sneered. At this moment, he was possessed by a celestial god, and part of him was even controlled by them.
The god controlling him clearly recognized the identities of the Tree God and the Mother Tree, knowing they were not a battle race at all.
"Boom!"
The bone spear in Ye Ming's hand shone with blazing light, divine power surged, and countless runes ignited in an instant, thrusting forward.
The massive wooden wall seemed so fragile before his power that it couldn't stop him at all. In his demigod state, he had entered another realm, standing above all living beings.
However, this kind of divine possession can cause great harm to the possessed person's body.
If the situation weren't so critical, the Nine-Headed Lion and the others would never use this move. If Long Chen became emperor, no one here could suppress him. If Long Chen closed the passage, everyone here would have nowhere to be buried.
However, after being possessed by a celestial god, their souls and flesh are suppressed and begin to suffer damage. If this prolongs time, both their bodies and souls will die, so the risk of being possessed by a celestial god is extremely high.
However, the power gained was also terrifying. With the power of the Heavenly Gods, Ye Ming was an invincible existence.
The High Priest, Ma Ruyun, Ling Yunzi, and other powerful figures also made their moves, joining Mo Nian and the others in attacking Ye Ming, but they were still forced to retreat repeatedly. In his demigod state, Ye Ming was utterly unstoppable.
If not for the care of the Tree God and the Mother Tree, they might even be at risk of being killed. With all their might, Ye Ming was already slowly approaching the core area.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three loud explosions echoed in the distance. The bodies of the Nine-Headed Lion, Mo Luo Tianxing, and the Blood Fiend Demon Lord trembled, divine Dao phantoms appeared behind them, and terrifying divine pressure radiated out, causing the world to change color.
The three of them had simultaneously completed the Divine Possession. Everyone's hearts sank. One Night Nether alone already required all their strength to resist. If all three attacked at once, they simply couldn't hold the line.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
At that moment, the giant egg on the altar in front of the Yin-Yang Realm began to slowly crack, peeling off its massive shell.
"Hahaha, the Wolf God has awakened."
The Blood Fiend Demon Lord was overjoyed. Unlike Ye Ming, he did not take shortcuts to become emperor; his foundation was solid. Even when possessed by the power of the Heavenly Gods, he still led the way.
The eggshell burst open, revealing a snow wolf hundreds of miles long before the crowd. As soon as it appeared, its white fur slowly stood on end, and a terrifying aura surged, like an ancient beast awakening to slaughter all living beings.
It exuded a terrifying, fierce aura that made one's soul tremble. It slowly stood up, though it seemed weak and its body was still shaking.
Its nose began to sniff around, and it bit into the peeled eggshell. That bite produced a metallic metallic sound. The eggshell was harder than a divine artifact, yet it was bitten and swallowed.
As the eggshell was swallowed, its aura grew even more terrifying. Its white fur grew ever more radiant, giving it an indescribable divine majesty.
Its eating speed was extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, it had finished the eggshell. At the same time, its body underwent a dramatic transformation. When it stood up, its lines were sharp, radiating wild strength.
However, from beginning to end, its eyes remained tightly shut, as if unable to open them.
"With my blood, I consecrate the Sirius God." The Blood Fiend Demon Lord formed hand seals with both hands, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which transformed into two runes and pressed them onto the giant wolf's eyelids.
"Great Wolf God, open your eyes and slaughter to your heart's content in this hunting ground." The Blood Fiend Demon Lord prayed devoutly.
"Buzz!"
The giant snow wolf's eyes slowly opened. The moment it opened them, Mengqi from the Dragon Blood Legion cried out in surprise, her gaze ... It felt so familiar.
The Blood Fiend Demon Lord stood before the snow wolf, pointing to the battlefield ahead and shouting loudly: "Great Wolf God, fight! The creatures ahead, you may slaughter them with your heart's content and reveal your true nature...
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the Blood Fiend Demon Lord's voice abruptly stopped. One of the snow wolf's giant claws struck him, causing the ground to tremble violently. The terrifying ravines spread out like a spiderweb, instantly covering half of Central State.
The earth was nearly pierced through, but no one was shocked by its terrifying power. Instead, it actually attacked the Blood Fiend Demon Lord who had awakened it.
For a moment, everyone on the battlefield, friend and foe, was stunned.Even Ye Ming, possessed by a god, looked at the snow wolf in disbelief.
When the snow wolf's claws were lifted, the Blood Fiend Demon Lord had vanished, his body and soul utterly destroyed, leaving no bones behind.
"Dead... Done? "
