The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 402 Demigod? (Long Chapter)

What exactly happened inside?

"Didn't that guy, Nether Serpent, lose to those two from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?"

The people in the City of Beginning looked at the Nether Serpent, then at Vanessa and Luo Wushang who had emerged from the Special-Grade Strange Land, and were all somewhat bewildered, not understanding what was going on.

As a team recognized as one of the top four in strength, the Nether Serpent's team not only has a peak Venerable like Nether Serpent who has mastered seventeen profound arts and is only one step away from becoming a demigod, but also has fifteen other Venerables with considerable strength accompanying them. No matter how you look at it, they are the team with the best chance in the Special Grade Strange Land.

In contrast, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy had a few experts at the Fusion God Realm, but only one Venerable entered. It was a team that seemed like a joke, yet it managed to seize a special-grade strange land. Who would believe that?
"The Nether Serpents didn't succeed? How did they manage to do that?" Crimson Demon stared wide-eyed at the Nether Serpent's grim face and Vanessa, who flew up to Lin Qi to report on the mission. He hadn't expected the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy to actually succeed.

The strength of the Nether Serpent's team is so great that even the other three major teams, let alone their clan leader White Rakshasa, would not have much confidence in competing with them. Therefore, all the top teams present, as well as the three major teams, are waiting for the next special-grade strange land to open and are not going to compete with the Nether Serpent.

But now, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has actually accomplished this with five thousand experts at the Fusion God Realm and one Venerable Vanessa. It's simply unbelievable.

"How is this possible! That's the Nether Serpent Venerable! How could he lose to someone from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?" Crimson Dragon, who was watching everything from a distance, couldn't accept it for a long time. He looked at Vanessa and Luo Wushang with disbelief.

While it's astonishing that Bai Luosha led the Obsidian Martial Arts School to seize the Special Grade Strange Land, it's not entirely unacceptable. After all, Bai Luosha's strength is considerable, ranking among the top twenty of all the Venerables, giving her the ability to compete.

How could a Venerable from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, whom no one had ever heard of, lead a group of Fusion God Realm cultivators to defeat the Nether Serpent and win the Special Grade Strange Land?

Meanwhile, the two leaders of the Titan and Celestial races, including Lei Xiao, were also watching Vanessa and Luo Wushang with a hint of wariness in their eyes, clearly regarding Vanessa and Luo Wushang as their opponents.

As individuals who are also recognized as being among the top five Venerables, they are well aware of how strong the Nether Serpent is. In a one-on-one situation, none of them dare to say that they could defeat the Nether Serpent.

However, this kind of Nether Serpent was unable to snatch the key from the two people from the Obsidian Martial Arts School, and even managed to bind the key, which shows the strength of Vanessa and Luo Wushang.

Next, the Obsidian Martial Arts School will also help White Rakshasa, which means that Vanessa and Luo Wushang will take action later. This makes them have to take it seriously, since there are only five special-grade strange places left now, and the Nether Serpent has not obtained them. The Nether Serpent will definitely go to compete for the remaining special-grade strange places.

It can be said that they can no longer afford to be careless in the upcoming battle for the special-grade strange land.

Meanwhile, the Nether Serpent, who had been kicked out of the Special Grade Strange Land, returned to the street where the Empire was located. His gloomy face made the other Venerable Team members of the Empire unable to help but make way for him, for fear of offending him.

"Nether Serpent, are those two from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy really that strong? They even left you helpless?" Venerable Tianyan, who had a good relationship with Nether Serpent, looked at Vanessa and Luo Wushang in the distance and couldn't help but ask curiously.

His strength ranks second among the Venerables of the Empire, second only to the Nether Serpent. However, the team he leads is somewhat inferior to the Nether Serpent's. Originally, he thought he could bypass the Nether Serpent's four teams and compete for the remaining two special-grade strange lands.

But now that the Nether Serpent has failed, and with the White Rakshasa assisting the Obsidian Martial Arts School, he has to seriously consider which team to face next.

“Strong?” Upon hearing this, Ming She shook his head, looked at Luo Wushang in the distance, and said with a hint of frustration, “Neither of them are strong. Their strength is even inferior to that of a top-tier Venerable. But the one in the silver-gray clothes is impossible to eliminate.”

"Can't be eliminated?" Tianyan asked in surprise. "You can't even eliminate it?"

As a Venerable One who has perfected the seventeen demigod mysteries, the Nether Serpent not only possesses many perfected intermediate mysteries, but also perfected one advanced mystery. In terms of the strength of his attack methods, he is probably among the top three among the Venerable Ones in the history of the Empire, and is the Venerable One who is closest to being a demigod.

Even a powerful Venerable like Lei Xiao didn't believe that Lei Xiao and the others could survive being struck by the Nether Serpent's advanced profound mysteries.

The Nether Serpent also stated that Luo Wushang and the other person's strength was even inferior to top-tier Venerables, so directly striking Luo Wushang with a high-level profound technique shouldn't have been difficult. However, the Nether Serpent still said it couldn't eliminate her, proving that Luo Wushang must have withstood the Nether Serpent's high-level profound technique without being destroyed...

"There's nothing we can do. We don't know what methods she used, but let alone destroying her body, it would be difficult to even seriously injure her." The Nether Serpent shook his head, feeling helpless as he looked at Luo Wushang. He had never seen such a tough person in his life.

His Law Domain has a 35-fold enhancement effect, but no matter what attack hits Luo Wushang, she is as if nothing happened. Even if she is injured by a high-level profound technique, she will recover instantly.

In terms of physical ability alone, both Luo Wushang and Vanessa were far superior to him. Because of this, he was helpless against Vanessa, who held the key, and all his attacks were blocked by Luo Wushang, who reacted even faster.

After an hour of his relentless attack, which turned the entire Special Grade Strange Land upside down and even killed others, he watched as Vanessa recognized the master key and kicked him out.

"Does that mean that no one can do anything to her in the competition for the special-grade strange land?" Tianyan looked at Luo Wushang in the distance in surprise.

Although I knew that Luo Wushang and Vanessa were not simple, I did not expect them to be so powerful. Even the Nether Serpent could not seriously injure them, let alone others.

“In the competition for the Special Grade Strange Land, no one should be able to do anything to her.” The Nether Serpent nodded, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. “However, she can only live until today. I have already reported her situation to Her Majesty the Princess. Her Majesty should be very satisfied with such a parasitic body.”

“Indeed, even dragons probably can’t compare to such a body. You’ve really struck gold this time.” Tianyan looked at the Nether Serpent, whose mood had improved, and felt a little envious.

Their participation in the competition for the Special Grade Strange Land was only one of their purposes; another goal was to find a powerful body, and Luo Wushang undoubtedly fit the bill.

As soon as the first exceptionally strange place recognized its master, a new exceptionally strange place appeared in the City of Beginnings.

This time, Bai Luosha led the team to be the first to rush into the special-grade strange land, with Lin Qi and others following closely behind. This caused many teams to give up, even the three major teams including Lei Xiao.

Because of this, Bai Luosha won the special-grade strange land without any suspense, which made the venerables of various forces envious. They never expected that Bai Luosha, a venerable whose strength ranked among the top twenty, would obtain such a great opportunity that was rare to see in tens of thousands of years simply by cooperating with the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and paying one hundred Law Stones a year.

However, just as the third extraordinary realm opened and the four teams and many Venerable teams were preparing to compete, the steel pavilion standing in the center of the Initial City suddenly exploded.

In an instant, a massive spatial rift stretching over a thousand kilometers appeared in mid-air, and then two figures flew out from the destroyed steel pavilion, astonishing everyone in the City of Beginnings.

Two figures flew out. One was a peerless woman, over two meters tall, dressed in strange snow-white attire, with four arms and an appearance similar to a human. The other was a woman over ten meters tall, wearing a silver-white crown and a magnificent silver dress. A golden, eye-like rune was imprinted on her forehead. Her appearance was as perfect as an angel, and her holy aura made everyone who saw her want to worship her.

"What's going on? Wasn't the princess supposed to be injured and recuperating? How did she end up here?"

"Isn't that the original demigod? Why are those two fighting?"

At this moment, everyone in the City of Beginning looked at the two women in the sky, their hearts filled with surprise and confusion.

As the oldest demigod, the Primordial Demigod had always resided in the City of Beginning. Many Venerables who spent their entire lives in the City of Beginning might not even see him once. Not only did he appear now, but he even fought with the princess of the Imperial Kingdom, which left everyone somewhat bewildered.

The initial demigod's strength is recognized throughout the universe as the strongest demigod. Every demigod who has challenged him has been defeated. Although there have been other demigods in many eras who claimed to be the strongest, none of them have challenged the initial demigod. The fact that the initial demigod has continued to exist despite the fall or disappearance of those demigods shows that his strength is absolutely well-deserved.

It was quite unexpected that the princess of the imperial kingdom would challenge the primordial demigod at this time.

Among the demigods, the princess's strength can only be described as above average. She is inferior to the demigods of the Titans and Celestials, who had previously challenged the original demigods and lost.

Now, the princess of the imperial kingdom has come to challenge the primordial demigod, but in everyone's eyes, it is all in vain.

However, just when everyone thought the primordial demigod was about to quickly defeat the princess, they saw the primordial demigod, dressed in strange snow-white clothes and more than two meters tall, with a gloomy face, staring intently at the princess, who was more than ten meters tall, wearing a crown, and was as perfect as an angel.

"Lifane! What exactly do you want to do? Destroying the Tower of Imprisonment, do you know the consequences?" The primordial demigod, dressed in strange, snow-white attire, spoke coldly, and the anger she contained made all the Venerables present tremble.

"What are you doing? What are the consequences?" The towering Rifane laughed. "Of course I know. This world has been silent for too long and needs a new master. I've been waiting for this moment for far too long!"

As soon as Lifana finished speaking, thousands of figures burst out from the huge space that had been split open. Each of them possessed an astonishing aura, and many of them were beings that even top Venerables would feel despair from.

"Demigods?" "How can there be so many demigods?"

Bai Luosha stared in disbelief at the figure flying out of the spatial rift.

There were only ten demigods before, which was considered a relatively large number in many eras. After all, to become a demigod, one needs to fully inherit all the profound mysteries and completely master the laws, which is not an easy thing to achieve. But now, the number of demigods emerging from the spatial rift exceeds one hundred, a number that completely exceeds her understanding of demigods.

Even the peak Venerables present, including Bai Luosha and Lei Xiao, were in disbelief, never expecting that there were so many demigods in this world.

"Do you think you can just come in because the Tower of Imprisonment is broken?"

Seeing the large number of people pouring in, the primordial demigod immediately descended a world projection, instantly pinning all the tens of thousands of people who rushed out of the rift space into mid-air, unable to move at all. The terrifying power made everyone in the city of the primordial gasp.

Although everyone knew that the Primordial Demigod was the oldest and strongest demigod, no one expected him to be this strong. When the world projection descended, hundreds of demigods and tens of thousands of Venerables were all frozen in place, demonstrating his unbelievable strength.

"die!"

The demigod immediately raised his hand, preparing to annihilate these people.

"It's not that easy!"

Princess Rifana also descended her world projection at this moment, instantly relieving all the pressure on everyone who was enveloped by the primordial demigod world, and blocking the primordial demigod world projection from the outside, preventing it from affecting the inside in the slightest.

In an instant, the hundreds of invading demigods all came before Princess Rifana and bowed respectfully.

"Hurry up, all of you. This old guy is very strong. My Law World won't last long," Princess Rifana said, her face slightly pale.

"Rest assured, my lord, it's just a matter of taking over the bodies of those Venerables; it won't take long." The demigods smiled as they transformed into streaks of light and rushed directly toward the Venerables gathered in the City of Beginning.

As Princess Rifana released the invaders from their restraints, tens of thousands of invaders, including the invading demigods, rushed towards the Venerables and Great Powers of the Initial City, causing panic and fear among the people of the Initial City.

"No wonder you dared to destroy the Tower of Imprisonment and open the cracks outside. I didn't expect you to have mastered a high-level law." The Primordial Demigod looked at Princess Lyfane with slight surprise, his voice tinged with annoyance. "But what good will doing this do you? You should know very well the situation outside. Without the spiritual imprint protecting this world, you won't be so safe outside!"

"Perhaps it's not so safe anymore, but I can gain a higher status in that organization and become a high-ranking demigod, a lord of my own domain. No one can do anything to me now, instead of being just an ordinary low-ranking demigod like before, barely able to survive by relying on this world," Princess Rifana laughed. "Moreover, what that goddess left behind in this world has long been consumed by generations of demigods. The only value of this world is what that goddess created."

"You really think I'll let you succeed and allow outsiders to ruin the world created by the goddess!" The demigod looked at Princess Rifane with a cold gaze. Then another world projection descended, and the two world projections fell together, frantically compressing Princess Rifane's world projection.

"Two advanced laws?" Princess Rifana looked at her compressed world projection in surprise. She hadn't expected the primordial demigod to be even stronger than she had anticipated, having already mastered two advanced laws. Compared to the truly powerful figures outside, he was already not far behind. She then shouted, "Hurry up! I can only hold on for five more seconds!"

With Princess Rifana's shout, the previously relaxed invading demigods quickly sped up their actions, either seeking out the nearest Venerable or heading straight for the strongest Venerable.

This scene immediately caused great anxiety among the Venerable Ones.

Demigods have mastered the laws and even used them to construct their bodies, making them qualitatively different from these Venerables. Facing demigods, they can be said to have no power to resist.

"Hold on, everyone! These demigods seem to be rejected by the world and can't use the world projection at all. They can only fight using incomplete law domains!" Lei Xiao looked at the invading demigods and quickly sensed their problem. He couldn't help but loudly remind the other Venerables.

Lei Xiao's reminder also brought many of the Venerables present to their senses, and they all regained some fighting spirit.

If a demigod cannot use world projection to mobilize the power of a world, but only uses an incomplete law domain, then it is not a big problem for these Venerables to fight and hold out until the initial demigod defeats the princess.

"Do you natives really think that just because we demigods have been weakened, you can stand against us?"

An invading demigod with four pairs of jet-black wings looked at Lei Xiao, who had taken the initiative to fight, and couldn't help but strike out with a palm. Suddenly, a huge hand that covered the sky descended from the sky, as if the entire sky was about to press down on Lei Xiao.

Upon seeing this, Lei Xiao transformed into a hundred-meter-long dragon, unleashing a domain that spread out, its claws crackling with azure lightning as it slashed through the air.

The Law Domain, composed of sixteen perfected martial arts techniques of the Demigod of Thunder, amplified the mobilized power thirty-two times, directly striking the giant palm.

boom!
Although Lei Xiao, who had transformed into a giant dragon, tore several gashes in the giant palm, the palm still landed on Lei Xiao's body, blasting him into the ground for several kilometers. Half of his body was gone, and his life force was greatly reduced.

"He severely injured Lei Xiao with just one palm strike?" Bai Luosha, who was watching from afar, was also shocked by this scene.

As one of the most powerful Venerables in the entire universe, Lei Xiao's strength is second only to that of a demigod. However, unexpectedly, he was still no match for these weakened invading demigods. Moreover, the attacks of the invading demigods could directly weaken his life force, making their attack methods incomprehensible.

This scene also filled many Venerables with despair. Lei Xiao was severely injured by a single palm strike, and if it were any other Venerable, they would probably be on the verge of death, waiting to be captured.

As the Venerables contemplated annihilation and escape, they were suddenly grabbed by the heads by several invading demigods. A surge of spiritual will then relentlessly assaulted them, frantically eroding their willpower. In just a second, the invading demigods collapsed to the ground, while the captured Venerables laughed before annihilating themselves.

"Not good! This is mental erosion! Everyone be careful, don't let them touch you, or your body may be taken over!" Bai Luosha looked at the invading demigod who suddenly fell down and the Venerable who laughed and self-destructed, and couldn't help but think of a body-stealing secret technique recorded in the Starry Sky Merchant Guild.

This secret technique only requires one person with a strong will to take over the body of the person with a weak will. This is a secret technique that can only be used by the Fusion God Realm. Once used, it can occupy the body of another person, but it will also lose a part of one's own spiritual essence and reduce one's comprehension. Although it is not impossible to recover, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years, which is not a worthwhile secret technique.

However, this move is undoubtedly fatal to those at the Fusion God Realm and Venerables. Spiritual annihilation is more terrifying than physical annihilation. Even if there is a means of rebirth through a drop of blood, it is useless. This kind of spiritual erosion will follow that thread of connection and erode the spirit and will of all the blood in the other distant places, making it impossible to survive.

"You know quite a lot! Then let you become my new body!" At this moment, an invading female demigod with four arms appeared in front of Bai Luosha in an instant, and grabbed Bai Luosha's head at a speed that Bai Luosha could not even react to.

"Damn it!" Bai Luosha looked at the arm that was attacking her. Although she wanted to defend herself, the arm was too fast, and even she couldn't react in time.

Just as the arm was about to touch Bai Luosha's head, a flash of sword light appeared. Even the invading female demigod didn't have time to react before the arm was severed in two and fell to the ground.

"Master Lin?" Bai Luosha instantly turned her sword and saw that the one wielding the sword was none other than Lin Qi, the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

"You're asking for death!" The invading female demigod was furious when she saw Lin Qi, who dared to ruin her plans, and threw a punch directly at him.

This punch seemed simple, but the moment it was thrown, the earth and sky within the domain of the law were as if the surface of a planet had been ripped off with a shovel, and the earth and sky within a radius of hundreds of kilometers swept towards Lin Qi.

This punch was also the full-force punch of the invading female demigod. With her own actual strength of over 1000 million tons, plus the 50-fold increase in strength from the incomplete law domain and the power of blood energy, the total power of this profound-level martial skill exceeded 125000 tons. It could directly shatter a small asteroid. It was simply impossible for a native venerable who had not even mastered the laws to withstand it.

"Well done!"

Lin Qi looked at the sweeping heaven and earth, immediately activated his energy burst, and couldn't help but grip the heavy sword Wufeng and strike again.

The first move of the Demigod Wilderness: Sky Piercing!

Since Lin Qi reached the mid-stage of the Fusion God Realm, his panel strength exceeded 510 million tons. With the effect of perfecting the ten profound arts, his actual strength exceeded 3360 million tons. The sixteen-fold increase in the Law Domain, the three-fold effect in Qi and Blood Power, and the one-fold increase in Energy Burst, along with the 100% increase in Mighty Force, resulted in a profound sword strike of a full 645120 tons.

boom!
The sword light of the full moon collided with the heavens and earth, piercing and annihilating them. The piercing sword light even extended tens of thousands of kilometers away, straight through the sky.

By the time everyone present realized what had happened, the female demigod had vanished without a trace, leaving only a bottomless, sprawling rift valley stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers across the earth…
