Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 180 The whole city witnessed it! Supernatural powers! A battle of magic!

—"Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!"

When the eight majestic statues, reaching to the heavens and earth, descended with a thunderous roar and stood before everyone—

—It exploded!!!

At this moment, it completely, utterly, and utterly shattered!!!
The explosion nearly blew people away, shattering their reason!

Below, Young Master Wang held his enormous head in his hands, his face turning a terrifying purplish-red, his eyes bulging out.

It looked as if the tears were about to burst out at any moment, and his mouth was already wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

Beside him, the usually mature and composed Lord Huang was in no better shape than the childlike Young Master Wang.

Previously, he was only shocked by the sight of his pupils piercing through.

At that moment, his eyes emitted a near-mad crimson light, almost as if he had fallen into demonic possession.

The entire spine felt as if it were simultaneously immersed in millennia-old ice and an infernal hell.

The dual energies of ice and fire surged and roamed wildly within his body.

My heart was pounding like a drum, pumping wildly like never before.

In an instant, cold sweat mixed with hot sweat, soaking his entire back!

His teeth chattered, and his voice trembled: "Eight...eight immortals have descended to the mortal realm! I never imagined that in my lifetime...I would witness such a magnificent spectacle!"

If even the dignified lord of a city in Jiang Province, the only young master of a prestigious family, could lose his composure like this, let alone the dozens of young masters from various families behind him.

They stood frozen in place like clay or wooden sculptures, their mouths stuffed with cotton balls, unable to utter a single word!
Beside everyone, Xin Yao's knees buckled and she almost collapsed, but fortunately Sun Yourong reacted quickly and caught her.

"Yao Yao, are you okay?"

Xin Yao, however, grabbed Sun Yourong's arm tightly with her other hand, her five fingers like hooks, digging deep into the other's flesh, causing Sun Yourong to gasp in pain.

"Rongrong, tell me! Who exactly is this guy? Why... why is he able to create such a miracle all by himself? Tell me quickly, who is he?!"

Xin Yao's voice was distorted with extreme shock.

Sun Yourong, forcing herself to speak, comforted Yao Yao: "Yao Yao, don't worry, get up first. I'll explain to you slowly later..."

"No... my legs are too weak to stand up... let me catch my breath, just a little while..."

Xin Yao collapsed to the ground, her gaze fixed on the eight Dharma images in the sky, panting heavily as she tried to calm her heart, which was pounding in her throat.

……

Meanwhile, at the land shrine a few kilometers away from Caomiao Village.

The Earth God prostrated himself on the hillside, kowtowing repeatedly.

His forehead slammed against the ground with a loud thud, and he kept pleading, "Forgive me, Immortal! Please forgive me, Immortal!"

When the Five Plague Envoys descended to the mortal realm, He was filled with nothing but shock and disbelief.

They were shocked that Lu Chen could actually summon the Plague God to break the formation.

But it wasn't until the Four Heavenly Kings descended to the mortal realm.

The Earth God was completely panicked.

His earlier prediction turned out to be prophetic!
This formation was truly created by the Four Heavenly Kings!
The true form has now descended to the mortal realm.

The Earth God was genuinely afraid of being caught in the crossfire and suffering the consequences later.

Therefore, he kowtowed desperately, hoping to gain a little forgiveness from the immortal.

However, it's not just the Earth God—

At this moment, in the vast city of Rongcheng, in the streets and alleys, in the windows of buildings, and even among the workers working at heights, anyone who witnessed the eight Dharma images would have their knees go weak and would kneel down, kowtowing and praying.

At this moment, the awe and fear in my heart reached an unprecedented level of unity.

"What on earth happened?!"

"Who is this deity who could possibly summon a celestial god to descend to the mortal realm?!"

The powerful figures in the city filed out, gazing toward the direction of Caomiao Village.

However, the divine power that swept across heaven and earth was like an invisible chasm, making it impossible for them to get any closer.

I can only watch from afar, letting the storm rage in my heart!

……

Now, let's turn our attention back to the back mountain of Caomiao Village.

The Four Heavenly Kings and the Five Plague Envoys stood facing each other, their divine might clashing against each other, and even the void emitted low, strained hums.

But at that moment, the Eastern Heavenly King gently plucked the strings of his zither with his fingertips.

"Cheng——"

A clear and melodious zither melody, like mercury spilling onto the ground, instantly permeated the entire Caomiao Village and even covered Rongcheng.

In an instant, all mortals felt that their ears were filled with wonderful divine music, and there was no other sound.

Even if someone were shouting in your ear, all you would hear was the gentle and melodious Kagura.

All other sounds and noises were completely cut off. Clearly, this was a great supernatural power exerted by Dhritarashtra, which severed the connection between mortals and deities.

Of the millions, only Lu Chen remained completely unaffected.

He stood on the Plague Emperor Banner, suspended in the center of the eight Dharma images. Surrounded by divine might, he was completely focused and dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Naturally, they were unaware of the situation of the people below.

"Alright, now we can speak in peace."

With the eyes and ears of mortals blocked, the Southern Heavenly King of Growth slowly spoke, his divine eyes flashing like lightning as he swept towards Lu Chen.

Just one glance!
Lu Chen felt as if all 48,000 pores on his body had exploded, and his internal magic power instantly went out of control, almost causing him to fall off the Plague Emperor Banner!

Fortunately, the Heavenly King of Growth's gaze only flashed by, then turned to the Five Plague Envoys opposite him, whose [Dharma Form] was in no way inferior in majesty. He lowered his long sword slightly and clasped his hands in a salute:
“Fellow Daoists of the Plague Department, we are both righteous gods of the Heavenly Court. Are you unaware of the rules of my Department of War? Such actions are bound to damage the harmony between our two departments, aren’t they?”

Opposite them, the five Plague Envoys exchanged glances. Zhou Xin, the Plague Envoy from the East, also returned the salute with his sword drawn.

“Brother Zengzhang, we brothers are well aware that your department has the right to raise its own military supplies.”

However, the Star Lord decreed that we should descend to the mortal realm to assist our junior brother in breaking the formation;
Moreover, this treasure is originally a mortal object. Although it is in accordance with the rules for your department to raise military supplies on its own, my junior brother's interest in this treasure's secret realm is even more legitimate!
We're each acting according to our own fate. If you don't mind, why don't we each prove our abilities and see who's better?

"Hmph! You want to fight? Fine!" The Western Heavenly King, with the fiercest temper, immediately snorted coldly.

The seemingly small purple-gold ferret on its shoulder suddenly leaped up!

It grows taller with the wind, and in an instant it transforms into a colossal elephant with its feet on auspicious clouds and its head reaching the sky!

"Moo-!!!"

A deafening roar erupted, its sound waves sweeping outwards like a raging torrent of galloping horses.

——Boom! ! !

The entire world was shaking violently, the ground cracked open with deep trenches like a spider web, and even rocks from distant mountains were tumbling down!

"I go!!!"

Seeing the aftershocks approaching, Lu Chen had nowhere to avoid them and instinctively raised his hand to protect himself.

But he found himself surrounded by a deafening roar, while he himself was completely unharmed.

It turned out that a wisp of green mist had appeared in front of him, blocking the aftershocks of the purple-gold sable's divine power.

"Hmph! Fight if you want! I'm not afraid of you!"

Zhu Tianlin, the plague envoy from the West, was equally cold-blooded. Without saying a word, he brandished the plague banner in his hand.

The plague banner fluttered in the air and instantly grew to the size of a mountain range.

Endless black miasma gushed out from it, gathering into a miasma pool that blotted out the sky.

Within the miasma pool, a hideous demonic head slowly emerged, its fangs menacing and its eyes glowing red.

"Ow!!!!"

For a moment, the shrill, mournful roars and the deep, resonant bellows of elephants stood in stark contrast.

The shock caused the necklaces and ritual implements hanging around the giant elephant to clang and tremble, and its divine light to quiver.

……

"Holy crap!! They've started fighting! They've really started fighting!!"

Although the gods' conversation could not be heard, the scene of the two sides drawing their swords, confronting each other with their laws, and the divine beasts appearing was clearly visible.

Even a fool could see it—the negotiations had broken down, and they were about to fight!

Below, Young Master Wang was so excited that his entire body of fat was trembling.

—A battle of gods!
—This isn't an adjective; it's a genuine battle of gods!
But... this experience was fucking awful!
It was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime feast, a time of intense excitement and tension, but instead, all I could hear was soothing and enchanting divine music.

Why are you playing romance movie music in an action movie?
This background music is ruining the atmosphere!
……

"Enough! You are all righteous gods of the Three Realms, what kind of behavior is this! If you really want to fight, do it back in the Heavenly Court. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Great Heavenly Venerable for fighting here?!"

The Heavenly King of Growth coldly shouted, "Fourth Brother, withdraw your supernatural powers!"

"Big brother!" Guangmu Tianwang frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Put it away!" the Heavenly King of Growth said, his tone becoming more forceful.

Although Guangmu Tianwang was unwilling, he dared not disobey his elder brother's order and could only reluctantly raise his hand to make a gesture.

The colossal elephant suddenly shrank, transforming back into a purple-gold ferret, and leaped back onto his shoulder.

Yet it continued to squeak and chatter in the direction of the Five Plague Envoys, showing no sign of giving up.

On the other side, Zhu Tianlin also snorted coldly, and the plague banner fluttered, pulling back the vast miasma sea and the hideous demon head together.

But His eyes remained cold: "If you're not convinced, go back to Heaven and we'll fight again!"

"You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

The Heavenly King Virupaksha was furious, his hair standing on end, and he glared at him.

The situation, which had just eased slightly, suddenly became tense again!
　Chapter Two is being polished; I plan to write Chapter Three after that.
