Chapter 274 – The Divine Artifact

The palm pressed down, blotting out the sun and the sky . The Great Demonic God’s enormous hand turned jet-black as it pushed downwards like a dark five-fingered mountain .

The terrifying scene reminded one of the arrival of a great demon . Black clouds rolled in as the giant hand covered the sky . The pressure and the magnificent aura had a daunting effect on everyone .

The Rain King roared as did everything he could to withstand the attack . Endless torrential rain poured down from the clouds, and lightning reached down from the heavens as it shook the earth; this was the thunder and lightning released from clouds that had reached an absolute threshold of power .

Electric radiance wrapped around him as he tried to resist that giant black hand . Following a violent collision, countless streaks of light erupted between the two .

Peng!

Eventually, the Rain King coughed out blood and was knocked away . The electricity flashing around him were dispersed under that black five-fingered mountain . All symbols went dim .

The entire sky seemed to have split open . Grandpa Fifteen’s expression was cold and detached as he walked over . He was like an enormous demonic god, and his presence alone brought everyone inside the capital great pressure .

It was a demonstration of the fierce and mighty Great Demonic God’s ‘demonic’ feature . Even though he only had a single arm left, he was still unstoppable as he smashed it downwards .

The Rain King suffered a heavy blow . He could not bear the tremendous force and stumbled back several steps with trembling legs . As he floated in the sky, large amounts of symbols were extinguished .

Grandpa Fifteen looked indifferent as he charged fiercely without a single word . He was going to kill the Rain King who had stepped into this manor to provoke his clan .

The giant black hand smashed down, shaking the sky . The Rain King’s arms made gazhi sounds as he fought back, as if they would snap at any moment . More and more blood was coughed out from his mouth .

“That’s enough!”

He roared loudly and spat out some blood deliberately . All the blood he coughed out surged into the sky and turned into a shower of blood rain .

“Yi?” Grandpa Fifteen was surprised . The spurted blood contained an astonishing divine energy that was incredibly powerful .

This was a rain of blood; each raindrop contained the vital essence of the Rain King . This was all done intentionally . The blood that he coughed out was not wasted and part was within his calculations .

“It’s the Great Blood Rain Formation!” Someone cried out from the distant sky when they realized what was happening .

In the next moment, the scene changed completely . Everything became misty in this world as the scarlet shower of light turned heavy and submerged this place . It continuously underwent change and enlargement .

Meanwhile, nine tiny gourds appeared . The ominous and mysterious objects were all bright red in color and undulated in the blood rain . A weird energy was spreading out from the gourds .

Multicolored light spurted out of the openings of the gourds . These were all sword blades, and all of them were hacking towards Grandpa Fifteen . The blood raindrops turned into symbols, flickering ceaselessly .

With the nine tiny gourds inside, the power of the Great Blood Rain Formation increased rapidly . Even the clouds and winds of this place was stirred up .

The swords almost blended together . In the end, they were no longer separate shiny blades, but instead waves . Scarlet tides rolled in vast and endless quantities, covering the heavens and earth .

The crowd was shocked . The great formation passed down from the Rain Clan ancestors was indeed terrifying! With such a formidable measure, normal people would explode into blood mists as soon as they stepped into the formation .

The endless sword radiance turned into tidal waves . Some of the residual power flew out of the capital and travelled into the distance, and the mountains over there were blasted open immediately .

This was only a portion of the scarlet waves, not even all of it . This kind of power terrified everyone . If the entire great formation struck down, it could definitely annihilate a great city and an army made of hundreds of thousands .

This was a real killing formation, not designed to trap a single person .

The crowd in the Martial Imperial Manor were terrified and worried for Grandpa Fifteen . His opponent had come fully prepared, which meant that the earlier weakness shown by the Rain King was done on purpose . He was now showing his true strength .

Hong!

A loud explosion took place in the great blood formation, and blobs of light flew up one after another . The giant jet-black hand erupted and smashed into the blood-colored light . Sonorous sounds rang out as the blades and waves made contact with the hand .

“Hand of Devil!”

Someone shouted this in surprise . No wonder he was called the Great Demonic God! He was able to cultivate such a great divine ability . Black light flickered about with a terrifying demeanor . The endless blades didn’t manage to stop its arrival at all .

Hong!

The giant black hand fell down and scattered rain of blood, leaving behind only the nine gourds that were still radiating with circulating symbols .

“Shi Zhongtian, cease your attacks!”

While the Rain King cried out, the nine bright red gourds moved closers and radiated resplendently . The aura around them erupted abruptly as more killing beams surged out .

The Great Demonic God charged fiercely . He made nine strikes with his had, each on top of a gourd . The resounding sounds of explosion shook even the skies .

“Break!” Roared Grandpa Fifteen .

“Open!” Roared the Rain King, too .

Finally, with a series of kacha sounds, all nine bright red gourds split open . Webs of cracks appeared all over them before they were completely destroyed .

Hong!

In the end, rosy clouds filled the sky as the nine precious gourds exploded . They broke into pieces that flew towards Grandpa Fifteen .

“Annihilate!” Roared the Rain King loudly .

The divine power produced by the explosion was incredibly violent, making all the great forces in the capital shuddered . If the explosion spread out, numerous creatures could be killed . As for the Martial Imperial Manor, an even great disaster would befall it . Grandpa Fifteen’s old brothers were extremely worried and feared that something abnormal might happen, because that power was too great!

All of a sudden, color of the Great Demonic God’s palm changed . The black light faded away, and the palm turned as white as jade . It looked completely different .

“ Hand of God!”

Everyone was mind-blown again, and all of them became dumbstruck . This was a legendary divine ability! Its power was enough to make everyone shudder . It had already been many years since the last time the Hand of God made an appearance .

The Great Demonic God’s title did not exist for no reason . Rumor had it that he had been cultivating both the divine and demonic path, and it was being demonstrated right now . It was first the Hand of Devil, and then the Hand of God .

These types of divine abilities were extremely powerful . With a stretch of that porcelain white palm, the bright red gourds fragments all exploded into ashes, and the violent storm of energy also died down .

Peace was restored to this place . The storm and bloody mist completely disappeared, and the nine bright red gourds were completely destroyed .

The Hand of God was true to its name, resembling the technique of a divine being . It terrified everyone .

The Rain King was smashed away, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth again . He stumbled backwards in the sky .

Excitement swept across the capital . The Great Demonic God had returned with mighty strength . He had demonstrated his invincibility, overcoming all obstacles with ease . Nothing was unbreakable to him; he was completely unstoppable .

“Rain King, you’ve overestimated your capabilities when you provoked the Martial Imperial Manor . This is your punishment!” Shouted some sect elders from below . They were most discontent with his deliberate provocation during this chaotic situation .

“Heihei, hahahah…” Laughed the Rain King . He was not upset at all, and his face looked colder .

“This is a sacrificial rite, a reception! Let’s begin!” The smile faded from the Rain King’s face, and his expression became even more callous .

Blobs of light appeared in the air one after another . As the pieces radiated, all kinds of characters emerged . An incredible pressure was released, making the crowd feel as if their souls were trembling .

“What are those?!”

Many people raised their heads towards those shining pieces . They all felt a type of indescribable pressure, as well as an ominous feeling that made their bodies kneel down .

“It’s the aura of deity!” The Great Demonic God said in a soft voice . His arrow was blocked by this extremely formidable artifact earlier .

“Revive!” Shouted the Rain King .

The mighty divine power emitted by the rain of blood and nine broken gourds he summoned previously did not disappear, but instead absorbed by these pieces hidden within the void .

“Relics of deities!” Many cried out in surprise . Gasping sounds arose simultaneously in the capital . They were in big trouble now .

The Rain King had sacrificed everything for these pieces, using the energy he gained from the battle to resurrect them . He was waiting until now to reveal everything!

“Imperial Decree of the Rain Deity!”

Someone shouted with an ashen expression . The decree left behind by archaic deity was incredibly terrifying . There were many symbols inscribed on it, and they were shining brilliantly as they released their mighty aura .

If Shi Hao were here, he would have definitely been surprised, for he had previously eaten a piece of the decree . Of course, it did not happen in the real world, but in the Void God Realm .

The Rain Clan was infuriated by that incident and cursed Shi Hao multiple times . The incredibly powerful deity’s decree was suppressed when taken into the Void God Realm, and a piece of it was… eaten by that devilish brat!

They were not in the Void God Realm now . This was the real world, where the decree could function with its full power . Its aura alone was making the crowd’s blood curdle .

“Old Fifteen, what else can you use to fight me? Today, I will clean up your school and kill you for your betrayal . ”

The Rain King was becoming more forceful . After wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, he stood upright and stared at Grandpa Fifteen . There was a pressing and mighty aura about him .

The Martial Imperial Manor’s people were infuriated . The Rain King was only an outsider, yet he acted so arrogantly, meddling with their internal affairs . They were all enraged .

In the sky, muddy-coloured pieces of decree appeared one after another, which soon turned splendid and golden . The symbols on each piece were shiny like the sun, stinging people’s eyes .

The aura was becoming stronger . On the ground, countless people couldn’t help but kneel down, as if they were at the presence of an archaic deity .

The capital fell into a dead silence as people feared for their lives . With the aura of a deity fluctuating through the air, how could they even fight back?

“Hand over your head, Old Fifteen!” Shouted the Rain King .

The golden pieces descended, and the power it produced was far more terrifying than what an aristocratic noble could . it was simply impossible to defend against, making everyone inside the Martial Imperial Manor stupefied . All of them were horrified; was the invincible Great Demonic God going to lose?

The divine being decree was quite special and unordinary . A divine will was recorded within, and killing intent was suffused within . As a result, a single activation would bring about an earthshaking effect .

The air around the Great Demonic God contorted, and he was suppressed with a downward pressure . How could the power of a human compete against the power of deities? He was falling down due to the pressure, and his life was at risk .

Many people sighed . The Rain Clan used to have an ancestor who became a deity, and the decree left behind was way too special . It contained a fighting will that could make the heaven and earth collapse!

The sky was about to be blasted open as Grandpa Fifteen continuously fell . Blood was trickling down his mouth, and his body was shaking violently .

“It is as powerful as expected . I still have a long way to go compared to the deities,” said Grandpa Fifteen . His countenance then changed suddenly . He drew out the giant bow, and a beam of light flew out of his mouth, turning into an arrow .

The arrow was a special one . It was almost transparent, and a thin layer of silver light flowed along its surface . The sun and moon were dimmed immediately by its presence . The wind and cloud changed in an unexpected manner as killing intent surged up into the sky .

The look on the Great Demon God’s face remained indifferent . He set the arrow on the bow and drew fiercely . “The Rain Deity’s Decree contains a fighting will that is very powerful . However, it’s not the Rain Deity himself . Take my arrow!”

The silver light crisscrossed and dashed out at a tremendous speed . The sky felt like it was crumbling . With a loud rumbling sound, the golden pieces of the decree was shaken violently .

Some of the pieces were shot by the holy arrow . The symbols were obliterated with a hong sound, fading away completely .

“What… was that?” Many people were shocked .

“The arrow left behind by an ancient deity!” There were a few aristocratic kings who were greatly shaken . They had never expected that the Great Demonic God would take out this kind of object out at the last moment, explained his calmness .

“Impossible!” The Rain King cried out . He couldn’t think of a worse situation than this, that the divine artifact of the clan had met its match . The arrow from his opponent had frightened him tremendously .

The golden decree flickered as the pieces vibrated one after another . They erupted rapidly before wrapping themselves around the Rain King, who fled into the distance . He dared not fight any more .

The decree was the most powerful backup he counted on, but it did not work and was defeated . Great fear filled his chest . The Great Demonic God was too frightening!

“The Martial Imperial Manor is not a place you can act reckless in . Have you forgotten what I told you?” Grandpa Fifteen said in a cold voice .

He waved his hand and set up the bow again . The silver arrow flew out, pierced through the sky and striking the sphere of golden light . Numerous pieces of the divine decree began to tremble, and like an explosion, multicolored light shot in all directions . The symbols grew dim and were extinguished soon after .

The Rain King screamed miserably . Even though the silver arrow was blocked temporarily and did not directly hit his body, the enormous pressure still pierced through and smashed onto him .

Hong!

The strike on his body was almost as heavy as a crushing mountain . He fell to the ground with a body that was nearly torn apart .

The arrow of deity was in a stalemate with the decree pieces of the decree, and the Rain King fought back with all his effort . He even tried to remove that arrow, because he would probably die here otherwise .

The Great Demonic God was merciless and cold-hearted . He drew an arrow from his back . It was not an arrow of the deity, but it was still similarly formidable .

Chi!

The long arrow pierced through the air and flew across the sky . As the two divine artifacts locked onto each other, the other arrow crossed air rapidly and shot the Rain King with a pu sound .

“Ah…”

The Rain King screamed in misery . He tried his best to evade it, but the arrow still shot through the lower part of his body . It exploded and his bottom half disappeared, turning into a mush .

He was a powerful King, but he still could not fend off the arrow of the Great Demonic God!

His bloody upper part collapsed to the ground with a peng sound . As he lifted his head, he found himself in front of a grand Manor . The tablet said “Rain King’s Manor” .

The Rain King’s face contorted . The Great Demonic God had arrived right in front of their manor . He truly brought a disaster onto himself!
