My Beautiful Duchess Wife

He paused, looking at the three snake kings who seemed somewhat indifferent, and said again, "However, since you're already here, there's nothing more to say! I'm too lazy to argue with you. You've all washed your necks clean, haven't you? This is perfect, you can sit in your graveyard!"

The moment the word "earth" was uttered, the spear seemed to sense a real thirst for battle. It instantly turned crimson and charged out alongside Lin Peng.

Boom...

An earthen wall appeared out of thin air, instantly blocking Lin Peng's path and also deflecting the attack of the flames.

The god of the earth was extremely burly, yet remarkably cautious. In an instant, as if understanding something, he paused slightly in surprise.

Based on the information available, this guy was definitely only at the level of a mid-level god. However, only a few days had passed. He had actually reached this level. He was definitely a high-level god. It was absolutely the strength of a high-level god; if I hadn't gone all out immediately, I really wouldn't have been able to withstand his attack.

The spear was planted in the earthen wall, a simple earth wall spell that most earth mages know. Yet, it managed to block an attack from a high-ranking god. Indeed, while divine techniques may be simple, their power is immense.

But just as he finished thinking this, the crimson red of the spear suddenly hissed as if it were about to explode.

Meanwhile, cracks began to appear on the earthen wall. And then, suddenly, the spear exploded with a deafening roar.

The flames shone brilliantly at that moment. The God of Earth, along with a host of mid-level and high-level gods, all fled into the distance.

Just then, the Serpent King opened its mouth. A huge ice spike appeared, with a blue tail, and shot directly towards the two mid-level gods.

As the mid-level gods tried to dodge, they suddenly realized that the ice spikes seemed to possess a freezing power. Even with the strength of a high-level god like the Serpent King, they couldn't move an inch.

With a whoosh, the ice spikes instantly killed two mid-level gods. Even more so, the high-level gods who had just witnessed this move felt a chill run down their spines.

This guy is definitely not easy to deal with. I never imagined he wasn't just a reincarnation of the Sun God King. Or perhaps, he's also a reincarnation of a God King…

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Absorbing the Power of the Soul

On the battlefield, which had been separated in an instant, everyone wore somewhat strange expressions as they looked towards Lin Peng and his group of four. They were certainly wary of Blue Demon and Harris behind them.

These two guys alone possess such strength. Therefore, their comrades and allies must be incredibly powerful!

After all, it's impossible for a group of people with varying levels of skill to be together! Besides, how could someone qualified to ride in the Sun God's chariot not be a master?

Almost the Earth God shared this thought. In fact, he wanted to do just that: first, surround and kill one person, and then proceed to defeat the other experts one by one!

After the Earth God cast a single glance, the four high-ranking gods immediately separated and surrounded Lin Peng and the Snake King. The other eight mid-ranking gods, on the other hand, directly surrounded Harris and the Blue Demon.

Judging from their strength, it must be said that what the angels on the outskirts of the City of Living Beings said is indeed true. In the entire Heavenly Realm, they are merely the lowest level of beings.

However, the missions he was always sent out seemed to be the most difficult. He claimed to be the leader of those angels. But what was the truth? How many people knew, and who cared?

Now, a master of god-level power has appeared. Furthermore, so many god-level masters have emerged. Even among high-ranking gods, four have appeared in just one territory.

Therefore, this is still considered a comparison with the later celestial realm. In ancient times, the lineup might have been even more powerful! Back then, it is said that when it was killed by the Sun God King, it killed no less than ten thousand high-ranking gods.

It's clear that even in this celestial realm, its power has been significantly weakened!

The two high-level gods still looked quite powerful. In particular, the one who cultivated the earth element exuded a sense of weight and solidity.

A faint brownish-yellow light seeped down layer by layer towards the ground. Lin Peng frowned, then chuckled, "To be honest, are you planning another encirclement?"

As he spoke, the spear tightened slightly. Instantly, flames erupted from his entire body. He then turned and vanished from their sight.

However, the two high-ranking gods seemed to immediately realize what was happening. After waving their hands repeatedly, clouds of yellow earth billowed up.

As Lin Peng transformed into golden light and arrived beside one of the high-ranking gods, the other high-ranking god moved with incredible speed and launched a spike.

The attack aimed directly at Lin Peng's back. However, Lin Peng seemed to have instantly transformed into elemental form, dodging the attack in a flash.

At the same time, just as the thrust was about to pierce the high god, he reached out and grabbed the thrust. He then swept it across Lin Peng's spear.

With a muffled thud, a sound like a groan was heard. It seemed as if the entire space itself trembled. Furthermore, a strange, faint golden hue appeared.

Lin Peng turned around, and the Sun God Shield appeared, emitting a dazzling light. Instantly, both of the high-ranking gods in front of him closed their eyes.

At that very moment, the spear thrust out once more, piercing directly and shattering the head of the high god. The Earth God frowned slightly, his thick brows furrowing slightly, and coldly commanded, "Don't be reckless, proceed with caution!"

However, after saying this, he still didn't make a move. It seemed he was observing the fight, or perhaps plotting something.

The Serpent King was slightly slower than Lin Peng. Within the Frozen Divine Realm, the speed of these two high-level gods had become extremely slow.

However, since he is a high-ranking earth god, he still has some advantages in defense. In fact, it seems that these two guys were focused on defense from the very beginning.

He had never truly engaged in any aggressive fighting. His entire body emitted a brownish glow. Every time those sharp snowflakes or ice spikes appeared...

It always resembles a tortoise, completely encased in a thick layer of loess. Moreover, the defense of this loess is extremely strong. It seems virtually impenetrable.

The Snake King glanced at Lin Peng's group, somewhat annoyed by the two of them. If they were to impulsively fight him head-on, the Snake King had several ways to kill them quickly.

However, it seems these two immediately went into defensive mode. This was rather annoying. But after a moment's thought, they seemed to have come up with a solution.

They are all god-kings whose power has been passed down from ancient times. Such power is so great that even within the Three Realms, they are hard to match.

How could they possibly be stumped by such a newly ascended high god! In just an instant, they activated the maximum potential of this domain. As long as other elements are present, even fire can be frozen.

Of course, this is under the condition that his power is not yet as great. If the power of the flames were much stronger, then things would be more difficult.

Basically, it's a case of admitting defeat! After all, while fire fears water, it also restrains the power of water. Just like how water can extinguish flames.

However, flames can also evaporate the water directly! And this kind of earth element is relatively easy for the Serpent King to deal with.

Instantly, these earthen barriers began to slowly freeze within this icy divine realm. A crackling sound could be heard.

"Attack this guy quickly!" the Earth God roared suddenly. One could imagine that the Serpent King was now perhaps finally starting to seriously consider a way to deal with these two!

Moreover, this method might actually be quite powerful. After all, such a successor of an ancient god-king must possess considerable strength.

Furthermore, they possess genuine combat experience. Of course, compared to these newly ascended high gods, they are still considerably stronger. Even now, their power seems to be not much different!

The two high-ranking gods seemed to already know something. They wanted to directly explode the earthen shield. However, it seemed that the earthen shield...

It was as if they hadn't heard their commands at all. Suddenly, as if in that instant, their entire body stiffened. Moreover, a chill permeated their entire domain.

If they had released the God's Domain from the beginning and fought while defending, they might have been able to hold out for a long time.

Like the Wind God, although he was no match for the Serpent King, he could at least hold out for a while with his domain and powerful skills.

However, the Queen of the Underworld ultimately failed. If she had succeeded, the Wind God wouldn't have been killed. But now, these two high-ranking gods...

Although his strength was comparable to that of the Wind God at that time, in terms of experience, especially that unique strength, he simply couldn't match the Wind God.

So, all that remained was a tragic discovery. When the earth elemental shield suddenly seemed to shatter, countless ice spikes pierced towards their bodies.

If this stab lands, even if the person survives, they'll be severely injured. And such an ice spike is absolutely fatal! Clang, clang, clang…

The sounds of countless weapons clashing rang out in waves, causing the entire space to tremble in circles.

Before the ice spikes appeared the figure of the Earth God. In his hand, a straight longsword relentlessly shattered the ice spikes. Now, there was no other way but to act!

Lin Peng, with lightning speed, almost like a sneak attack, instantly killed one person. The other, however, seemed unlikely to last much longer. This was because Lin Peng was the successor of the Sun God King.

His weapon was already a sacred artifact. Therefore, this weapon was enough to suppress the other high god.

Moreover, this guy completely lacked the demeanor of a god-king. He actually used a move that resembled a sneak attack. Even the God of Earth didn't know how to truly counter such a move.

Only by utilizing overwhelming defense can one protect oneself. Otherwise, one will be instantly killed. This is the light emitted by the Sun God Shield.

Even divine sense wouldn't seem able to detect it. It's as if your entire divine sense and perception have been shut down. Just now, if it weren't for this situation, the Earth God would definitely have intervened to save that guy!

On the other hand, Harris and Blue Demons fared relatively worse. From the very beginning, they never seemed to have a real advantage.

If these eight mid-level gods were ordinary mid-level gods, they would have been captured and killed long ago. The fact that these two have managed to hold out until now is remarkable.

That's already quite good! Especially since, at least, killing a god-level expert seems to grant a strange power that can instantly turn it into dark black.

Then, it quietly slipped into Harris's body. Then, Harris's power seemed to increase instantly. Especially the high-level god that Lin Peng had killed.

Suddenly, Harris felt a sense of breakthrough. However, being surrounded by such a group of god-level experts, he was still wasting his strength.

Therefore, it's unlikely that a breakthrough can be achieved under such circumstances!

Lin Peng seemed to sense Harris's power. After slightly turning his eyes, he suddenly transformed into a golden light.

In an instant, he vanished from the sight of the high-ranking god. Furthermore, in a flash, his spear spun, piercing directly into the head of a mid-ranking god. *Thud*...

Like the sound of a watermelon hitting the ground, his entire head, before it even truly exploded, vanished as if evaporated.

The remaining half of the body slowly sank downwards...

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Saintess's Escape

Many mid-level gods were stunned for a moment, as if they hadn't reacted at all. With Lin Peng's current strength, killing a mid-level god seemed quite easy.

Furthermore, he already held a dominant position when he was a mid-level god. Now, he is a true high-level god. Moreover, he possesses a complete sacred artifact. In a sneak attack, killing one would be quite easy.

Harris nodded to Lin Peng, then instantly dashed off in one direction. Moreover, his entire body seemed to be emitting bursts of dark gas.

It's as if it's releasing some kind of signal, making it immediately clear to everyone!

Of course, the Earth God noticed immediately. He seemed stunned, unable to react. Seeing Harris at this moment, he suddenly remembered Hades' true power!

Absorb the power of souls and transform it into your own. Then, become the true master of souls. In the early stages, at most, it can only influence the minds of some people.

However, when he truly becomes powerful, he might be able to directly control the souls of others. Even the souls of true high-ranking gods would be beyond his control. Back then, if he hadn't been betrayed and attacked by the Queen of the Underworld, perhaps, at that time, by joining forces with the Sun God King, he could have wiped out all these so-called gods of the celestial realm!

"Hurry, go after this guy!" The Earth God shouted anxiously, but his path was blocked by the Snake King again, and suddenly, all he could see were mirror-like objects.

They floated directly in the sky, seemingly suspended in mid-air. There was even a strange feeling about them within their own territory; these mirrors could reflect their own power!

The Earth Blade in his hand was instantly unleashed, emitting a heavy aura and a brown light, attempting to shatter the mirrors directly. However, just as expected, it...

These mirrors are definitely not simple; they can actually reflect other people's power directly. Even the Earth Blade, when clashed head-on, seemed to be directly reflected back!

His wrist throbbed slightly. Although he was considered a supreme being, he was still no match for this successor of the God-King, even though the latter was far more powerful.

However, it seems they gained no advantage whatsoever. In fact, they appear to have been suppressed. Whether they were besieged or suppressed, it's a matter of choice.

The Earth God was now slightly annoyed!

The Snake King chuckled faintly, seemingly quite casual: "What, scared now! Hehe... As long as I stop you, I believe those guys over there, plus that one with some decent strength, will be quickly killed by that brat Lin Peng! Then... at least Harris can definitely be said to have returned with the strength of a high god. Tell me, isn't this round a loss for you?"

The Earth God was taken aback, realizing it was indeed true. If these beings were to surround and attack him, especially with the addition of Harris, who had already become a high-ranking god...

Then, he realized he was truly doomed. Suddenly, he remembered that although these people were inheritors of the ancient god-kings, they hadn't truly awakened yet.

However, a battle between two equally formidable masters is far more dangerous! Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of that natural woman. That woman must be having a much easier time than he is right now!

However, killing the original saintess would actually be much easier in his eyes. At least, it wouldn't create the tense situation we're in now!
