Exhaling, Wang Ling's entirety was put into the idea of combat. "Let's see if you Protectors can be worthwhile—"

Wang Linga against the Deities, with two swords in hand, Wang Ling prepared himself and the against the pressure he naturally exuded… the Deities roared in defiance.

​​

Four humanoids bearing the abilities of all the living Beasts. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and so much more. They can use it at their disposal without any drawbacks and had a specialty of their own.

The second incarnation of the first existence. The holder of life, and the start of all those who exist. A swordsman turns God, a lost soul turned shepherd for the Universe.

Crackle! BOOM!

Lightning was followed by thunder. The Azure Dragon's eyes flashed a dangerous light. It did not hesitate to attack, its fist did not hold back a single inch, and a fist appeared right before Wang Ling. It was too fast… and was impossible to dodge. Gathering his qi on his forehead, Wang Ling prepared himself to feel the pain!

BOOM!

The fist and his forehead met… and his head destroyed the Dragon's Fist. Wang Ling snickered, "A slight disappointment…"

Crack! Psssh! Blood spurted as the bones pierced the Dragon's skin and at that moment, a shadow on each side appeared seemingly out of nowhere. The lightning and the force it carried sent back to his bones. At first, Wang Ling was shocked because he couldn't feel a thing from such a fragile fist.

"Hohohoho, interesting… very… interesting." Bai Xue suddenly burst out laughing.

A Deity unable to even produce an ounce of damage to him. The muscles wrapped in God's Mark, the bones tougher than any sword or armor, Wang Ling knew that his entire being was now a weapon—something worthy of the All-Father—

In retaliation, Wang Ling swung Razor Vine and with ease, he cut through the Dragon's broken arm. An arm had been taken, a fatal and brutal end to a fight… if it was against Mortals or those of Wang Ling's past.

However, the Dragon shrugged off the pain. His neck suddenly extended as his arm recovered in a split second. His humanoid head changed in a split second, turning into that of a beast—

CHOMP!

The Dragon's teeth hooked on Wang Ling's right shoulder immobilizing a part of his body. The now partial Dragon growled, and from both sides, figures appeared… the Vermillion Bird and the White Tigers both moved in unison.

Wielding no weapons, only their limbs. Their claws and talons extended. The Vermillion Bird struck with her legs and the White Tiger with his claws!

Wang Ling tried to move his arms and block, but the Azure Dragon stopped him.

He wanted to jump high up and escape, but darkness crept up from below and pinning him on the ground. He looked behind the rest and found one of the Black Turtles controlling darkness and right above was drill-like water, gathering.

Wang Ling survived the lightning with no problem. His body was strong, incredibly so, that even the Deities were no match, however, "This one is different—" Wang Ling could feel that this attack was far from being mediocre.

Origin Water — Origin Flames — Origin Frost

The closer they got, the more he could feel the intensity of their elements. The way it bent Wang Ling and sent shivers down his spine… all of it began to take hold of his heart. Wang Ling did not shirk away, he was not afraid, he accepted their invitation, he roared in response to what was to come!

FWU! There was no escape, Wang Ling could only block. His arms were incapacitated, his body could not move—blasphemy!

"MOVE!" Wang Ling roared at the top of his lungs summoning what lay dormant within. Inside his body his qi rolled, his surroundings warped, and Wang Ling's smile ever so largely widened. His eyes began to change, it responded to Wang Ling, his iris turned completely bloodshot then completely black, and then his pupils golden.

The black and gold meshed, the blue light of his qi responded, three colors meshed together, Heaven, Hell, Chaos—

He saw the world anew and then, his wings unfurled, all six black pairs of wings surfaced behind. Wang Ling's strength instantly shot up and with a flap of his wings, he dragged the Dragon backward—

"Take that on your own." Wang Ling laughed and then the three strikes met the Dragon's body.

BOOM!

The Dragon's jaw loosened, freeing Wang Ling, allowing him to retreat and gain distance from the Deities.

Wang Ling flew about and moved around as quickly as he could. He was observing the situation, watching to see how they would react… but more than that, he was checking to see how fast he could move.

With every flap of his wings, the cavern was filled with storm-like winds, cutting the Deities' body.

Click… a simple switch turned on in Wang Ling's mind. His pupils' silver, and his black and gold, glowing as he stared into the enemies. His body now holds the secret of the Universe, his qi the essence of life… Wang Ling didn't know how to use them… and he faced the Deities with such a power.

FWU~

Wang Ling could feel the high of the battle. He could see the change, the flow, his eyes allowed him to see much more. And in an instant, when the Deities were regrouping, his eyes saw a path and he unhesitatingly took the chance to pounce.

BOOM!

Wang Ling disappeared and when everyone saw him again, he was already below with the Deities, his hand sticking out of the Vermillion Bird's stomach, his grin wide.

"I've given myself a fairly high level of expectations, but… it seems like I've been underestimating this power."

Wang Ling had heard how the All-Father was revered, saying he's the strongest of all. He doubted them, telling himself that it was but air. He didn't want to inflate his ego, that something else was above him… yet, this… tells a completely different story. The power of the All-Father was beyond his Mortal Mind's comprehension.
