Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 408: A single strike, a fatal blow! A god defeated in an instant.

"Where is the Goddess of Flowers...?"

Li Zhexian's calm voice echoed in the temple.

All the gods felt a chill run down their spines, their gazes shifting between the white-robed youth and the somber-faced God of Destruction.

The atmosphere was already solemn.

At this moment, the atmosphere was so solemn that even the starlight seemed to have become stagnant.

On the seat of a second-level deity.

The goddess of flowers, surrounded by countless blossoms, suddenly clenched her fist in her sleeve.

He originally intended to visit him privately to plead his case.

Unexpectedly, the newly crowned God-King launched his attack in such a direct manner.

As an ancient deity.

His face is more important than a mountain to him.

If not.

They wouldn't punish the Nine-Heart Begonia so severely.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He cannot lose his dignity.

"Flower Goddess greets Sword Lord God King."

The goddess of flowers gracefully rose, bowed towards the throne, and displayed a perfectly timed smile on her dignified face.

"You rule over all the flowers in the world, but where does the curse of the Nine-Heart Begonia come from?"

The goddess of flowers remained silent for a moment.

The sound was clear and melodious, like jade stones striking each other.

"I control the rise and fall of all flowers in the world; all the flourishing and decline of beauty are in accordance with my will."

"On the day of God's birth, I issued a divine decree, commanding all flowers to bloom simultaneously at midnight on the winter solstice. I want the snow-covered world to burst forth with the most splendid vitality as a tribute to me."

"When all the flowers bloom into a magnificent mist in the cold wind, only the Nine-Heart Begonia delayed its time to save a mere mortal."

He slightly raised his chin.

"The birthday of a deity is celebrated once every 20th century."

Xin Haitang has openly offended divine authority and should be punished to set an example.

"What does the Sword Master God King think?"

After saying this...

Most of the deities in the hall nodded slightly.

Over the long years.

They have witnessed too many mundane things in the world.

Its divinity has long been tempered into something as unyielding as ice that has never melted.

In their view, it is only natural that those who disobey God's will be punished.

The five god-kings reacted differently...

The God of Destruction remained calm and undisturbed, the God of Asura slept soundly with his eyes closed, the Goddess of Life frowned almost imperceptibly, while Ji Dong and Lie Yan watched the white-robed youth with smiles on their faces.

Under the watchful eyes of three thousand gods.

Li Zhexian calmly said:

"The Goddess of Flowers".

"As the Lord of all flowers, you should cherish the virtue of plants growing and have compassion for the suffering of all living beings in their reproduction."

"However, you have no compassion in your heart, only an arrogant pride that cannot be disobeyed."

“Such behavior tarnishes the name of God and makes one unworthy to hold the authority of the myriad flowers.”

"I hereby sentence you..."

“Strip the Flower Goddess of her divine status.”

"He will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison for a thousand years as a warning to others."

"what?!"

The goddess of flowers stared wide-eyed, her graceful demeanor vanished, her face filled with disbelief.

Strip them of their divine status?

Throw them into Thunder Prison?

What did you do?
It was nothing more than punishing a clan that had offended the divine power a few thousand years ago!

"I don't accept it!"

He gritted his teeth, and flower petals danced wildly around him.

What wrong have I done?

"Disobeying the gods deserves punishment!"

"Sword Master, what right do you have to judge me like this?!"

Not all gods are as eager for successors as the Asura God; many deities still wish to remain in the divine realm and enjoy the offerings of all worlds.

now.

The gods looked at each other, their faces showing astonishment.

No one expected that this newly appointed god-king would dare to impose such severe punishment on the ancient gods so soon after taking office.

"Sword Master God King, please calm your anger!"

On the seat of a second-level deity.

The Butterfly Goddess, the Moon Goddess, and the Forest Goddess rose one after another.

"The Flower Goddess acted on impulse; please show leniency!"

After a long silence, the first-level deities, including the Wind God and the Light God, finally spoke in deep voices:
"Sword Master God King, your judgment is too harsh."

Inside the temple.

The air was frozen solid, like ancient ice.

A myriad of divine auras intertwined silently.

The oppressive aura caused even the stars to tremble and dim. The gods watched coldly, each with their own plans.

This newly appointed god-king and enforcer of the law faced open defiance from several deities during his first trial.

How will he end this?
The Flower Goddess maintained her resentful expression, though a hint of smugness flickered deep in her beautiful eyes.

These are the speaking deities.

Its authority is mostly related to flowers, plants, nature, and elements, and is inextricably linked to its divine duties.

The Flower Goddess sneered inwardly.

"Even if you are revered as a god-king, what good is it? Your foundation is still shallow!"

"Could we possibly judge all these gods? Among them are even first-level deities like the wind god and the water god!"

"I hold the power to connect the divine realm with the mortal realm and to judge the gods."

Li Zhexian's voice showed no anger.

It was chillingly calm.

His gaze swept over the deities who had stepped forward.

"What crime should be committed for questioning a ruling and interfering with law enforcement?"

Count your breaths in silence.

Ji Dong uttered two words.

"Severe punishment."

"After death, Bai Ze's blessing comes."

There was no warning, and no preparation.

That forbidden power that once slew down gods in the mortal realm.

At this moment, it suddenly erupted within the temple of the Divine Realm Committee.

As the chilling fluctuations of the laws spread out, the Sea God, who was sitting at the table, changed his expression drastically and instantly flashed to the outside of the temple.

"crazy……"

He blurted it out, then hurriedly corrected himself.

"Decisive!"

"That was far too decisive!"

"Wind God, Light God, how dare you offend the Sword Master!"

At this moment.

The Azure Lotus Sword in Li Zhexian's hand had transformed into a crimson streak of light, its blade emanating an aura of annihilation that made the stars weep.

"presumptuous!"

"War is not permitted within the temple!"

"Sword Master, you've gone too far!"

The expressions of the God of Light, the God of Wind, and several second-level deities changed drastically.

His divine radiance surged.

They intertwine to form a colorful, ever-changing barrier.

laugh!
A crimson sword light streaked through the air like a line of blood.

The barrier, imbued with the power of the gods, was easily sliced ​​open as thin as paper.

The sword's momentum did not diminish.

Star trails passing over the outer perimeter of the temple.

Several stars were gently brushed by the scattered sword energy and quietly split in two, floating in the void.

"puff!"

The Wind God, the Light God, and several second-level deities all spat out divine blood, their divine light dimmed rapidly, and their aura weakened.

Everything happened so fast!

With a single sword strike, several gods suffered a crushing defeat!
Li Zhexian used the most direct method.

This was a response to the gods' doubts.

It also shattered the Flower Goddess's wishful thinking that "the law does not punish the masses."

Inside the temple, a deathly silence fell, broken only by the gods' rapid breathing and the suppressed groans of several wounded deities.

The goddess of flowers trembled as she looked at the boy on the throne.

He was about to speak in a panic.

The blade of the Azure Lotus Sword had already struck his elegant face.

He crashed into the temple wall, and cracks spread like a spider web, slowly sliding down the wall.

Li Zhexian's eyes narrowed slightly, within which sword imprints swirled.

The power of time and space enveloped the Flower Goddess, causing all the flowers around her to go out of control and bloom and wither at her will.

"You lowly, insignificant authority of the Myriad Flowers dare to make a racket in front of me?"

Li Zhexian surveyed the temple, and wherever his gaze fell, all the gods bowed their heads.

"Are mortal beings unworthy of pity?"

"I became a god in the blink of an eye, my body is still warm with human life, and my mortal heart has not cooled."

"From today onwards..."

"Which deity dares to disregard humanity again?"

"Why don't you ask first if you can withstand this sword strike?"

Say it.

A long silence.

No god dared to answer.

Li Zhexian turned to the god of destruction.

"Destruction, what do you want to say?"
