Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Although Li Shimin returned, a change occurred in the realm of gods, and a war between the gods broke out...

The Holy See did not want to waste its strength internally, so it chose a 3v3 arena match, a simple best-of-three format, but the scale of the event was quite large.

Both sides have a considerable number of supporters, resulting in a stalemate. If a conflict were to break out, either side would suffer a Pyrrhic victory, which is why they decided to use this method to settle the matter.

However, this arena battle is not so simple. The condition for winning is that the opponent admits defeat. If the opponent does not admit defeat, killing the opponent also counts as a victory.

Soon, both sides arrived at the decisive battle site. Karen was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Moxuan. Unpleasant memories flooded her mind, and her brows furrowed.

"What, you know him?"

Noticing his expression, the Holy Wisdom Master Serafina asked with a hint of curiosity.

Karen stared at Li Moxuan for a while, then slowly said, "I've fought him before. That guy is the successor of the Sword God..."

Sword God?

"Is that the guy who successfully ascended to godhood before?"

"Hmm..." Karen took a deep breath, "He's only at the third level of Immortal Realm. It would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for me. Which of you two wants to meet him?"

"I'll do it!"

Shi Yan's face showed great interest. This person had the aura of another timeline, so he must have come from another timeline. Interesting...

"Senior, why is that person staring at you like that?"

Yue Xiling, who had followed, noticed the gaze from the other side. She could understand Karen's reaction, since they had fought before, but the silver-gray-haired man had been standing there staring for quite a while...

"It's alright..."

Li Moxuan guessed that the other party was most likely a host of Cronus, and that he himself came from the future to the present, so it was normal for him to be discovered.

He also asked Emperor Gouchen about this, and his answer was simple: everyone's fate is predetermined.

Even if that guy could see the past and the future, he couldn't change anything, so there's no need to worry about him at all.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting!"

A figure appeared on the scene; it was none other than Rock, the last leader of the Holy Ghost Cult. He smiled and said, "It is a great honor to be chosen by everyone to preside over this final battle!"

This guy is actually one of the leaders of the Holy Covenant Church?

Li Moxuan still remembered what Rock had done back then; this guy seemed to have always wanted to stir up a war, which was a bit dangerous...

Rock didn't seem to recognize Li Moxuan. With a smile on his face, he walked onto the stage and said, "Let's not waste any more time. Please welcome the contestants from both sides!"

"Sis, I'm going first!"

"Okay, be careful!"

"Do not worry!"

Los stepped into the battlefield carrying the Ash Extinction Asura Blade, while Karen took the field himself.

As a sixth-level immortal, he could be considered to have a sure win against Los, who was at the fifth level of immortality. Of course, this was partly due to his lack of trust in Serafina.

Even if she ultimately loses to Sylvia, she still has Shi Yan as a safety net. Although he is an Immortal Realm Fifth Stage cultivator, even Karen herself might not be able to defeat him.

He's more than capable of dealing with Li Moxuan...

Although Karen was a level above him, Los was not afraid. He had experienced cross-border battles before and was not necessarily afraid of losing to Karen.

"The battle between Cult Leader Karen and Vice Cult Leader Los should be quite exciting, right?"

"What's so exciting about that? Cult Leader Karen is a whole realm higher than Vice Cult Leader Los. As long as he doesn't hold back, there's no way he can lose!"

"I don't think so. Vice Leader Los is the best at turning the tide. I'll bet 1000 Spirit Radiance on him winning..."

"Open for business! Open for business!"

"..."

On the battlefield, Karen glanced at Los indifferently, "You might as well surrender! Otherwise, I'll scatter all the guardian spirits later..."

Los scoffed, "How dare my sister's defeated foe say such things in front of her?"

Karen's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Don't worry, once I become Pope, the first person I'll deal with is her!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into a dark purple afterimage, and the blood-red giant scythe, carrying a soul-devouring, annihilating cold light, slashed horizontally across Los's neck.

Los reacted extremely quickly, instantly drawing his Asura Blade of Annihilation, the blade igniting with crimson lotus flames as he blocked the attack.

"clang--"

The clang of metal against metal reverberated throughout the battlefield, and Los was forced to stagger back three steps, his hand splitting open and bleeding.

He gritted his teeth; this guy was really strong!

Karen pressed forward relentlessly, his giant scythe unleashing a flurry of dark shadows that blocked all of Los's escape routes.

Los moved like a ghost, his Asura Blade slicing through several scythe-like energies, but he was still struck on the left shoulder by a scythe-like ray, his flesh tearing open and leaving behind charred marks of nether energy corrosion.

"It's a futile, death throes..."

Karen spoke calmly, as if victory was assured. He leaped into the air, raising his crimson giant scythe high above his head, and unleashed a slash using all the dark energy he possessed.

"Nether Scythe Soul-Splitting Slash!"

A jet-black scythe-like light swept across the sky and earth, enveloping the entire battlefield in a deathly aura, leaving no escape.

Los's dark red vertical pupils suddenly contracted, but instead of dodging, he charged straight at the scythe-like light.

"Asura!"

Los's body surged several times over, the void shattered, and the guardian god Asura descended majestically!

The three-headed, six-armed Asura was surrounded by raging karmic fire. Among its six arms, the main hand held a giant blade that burned the heavens with six paths, while the other five arms were filled with Asura demonic energy and fist power, and its killing aura swept in all directions.

The Asura's giant blade swept across, forcefully cleaving through Karen's Nether Scythe Soul-Splitting Slash, the aftershocks of the blade's energy heading straight for his face.

Karen's expression remained unchanged as she dodged the aftershocks, simultaneously raising her hand to summon her guardian spirit: "Hades, it's time to get to work!"

The void shattered once more, and Hades appeared with a roar, his double trident pointing directly at Asura. The double trident, carrying immense power, cleaved down and collided fiercely with Asura's Six Paths Burning Heaven Giant Blade.

"boom--"

The two extremely yin and malevolent forces collided violently, causing the entire battlefield to shake violently.

Hades, with his superior cultivation level, forced Asura to take a half-step back with a single halberd strike, even dimming the karmic flames on his giant blade.

He pressed his advantage, his double tridents unleashing a flurry of shadows, while countless Soul-Locking Nine Nether Chains burst forth, coiling like venomous snakes toward Asura's limbs.

Ashura neither dodged nor evaded, letting the chains entangle his body, and swept his main-hand giant blade, severing several chains.

His other five arms simultaneously unleashed Asura Fist Force, slamming heavily onto Hades' heavy armor.

"boom!"

Hades was struck and his body froze for a moment, several fine cracks appearing on his heavy armor.

At the same time, Los charged straight at Karen's crimson scythe, allowing Karen's scythe to pierce his right chest.

At the same time, he used his Ashes of Annihilation Blade to slash Karen's left arm, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone, trading injury for injury...

Chapter 409: A Lesson That Was Unusual

"This fighting style is absolutely reckless..."

Seeing this, Yue Xiling swallowed hard. It's just a position, is it necessary to work so hard?

"If you want to win, you have to fight like your life depends on it..."

Li Moxuan has fought across borders many times and is very experienced. He knows that the more afraid you are of death, the harder it is to win. If you want to win, you have to fight desperately so that you can catch people off guard.

"That's right..."

Pastor Arthur had arrived long ago, ready to provide medical assistance at any time. He looked at Los in the middle of the battlefield and said slowly, "Los's guardian deity, Asura, has a characteristic: the more he fights, the stronger he becomes!"

"The more severe his injuries, the stronger he becomes. If Karen can't end the fight quickly, it's really hard to say who will win in the end..."

"Something's not right, this guy's aura is getting stronger..."

Karen frowned slightly. He needed to end the fight as soon as possible. Instead of retreating, he clenched his left fist and slammed it into Los's wound with a strong aura of nether energy.

Los grunted, spitting out blood as he staggered backward. Karen seized the opportunity to pull back the crimson giant scythe. Although the wound on his left arm was bleeding, it did not affect his movements at all.

Hades on the other side thrust out his trident repeatedly, using the undead chains to gradually corner Asura.

Although Asura grew stronger with each battle, the difference in their cultivation levels meant that he could not gain the upper hand in almost every clash.

"Keep going!"

Karen pressed forward relentlessly, each strike aimed at Los's vitals with swift and fierce power. If Los dared to trade blows, he would die right there.

Los used his last bit of strength to merge all his divine power with his own baleful aura, pouring it into the six Heaven-Burning Giant Blades.

"Holy Fiend Heaven-Burning Slash!"

Black, white, and red sword light shot into the sky, holy light suppressing evil and karmic fire slaying demons, slashing straight at Karen's chest.

Karen's lips curled up slightly as he concentrated his divine power on the crimson giant scythe, seemingly intending to take Los's Holy Fiery Heaven-Burning Slash head-on.

"What's this guy trying to do?"

Sylvia frowned. Even she wasn't confident she could withstand Los's attack head-on. How could Karen, who was so afraid of death, possibly have the guts?

Suddenly, a gate to hell appeared behind Karen, and Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound with a jet-black body, leaped out from it.

Cerberus lunged at the blade's light, his three heads simultaneously spewing out jet-black netherfire, crashing head-on into the Holy Fiend Heaven-Burning Slash.

"boom--"

The three-colored blade light and the Netherfire collided violently. Cerberus let out a painful howl as one of his heads was cleaved by the blade's energy, bleeding profusely, but he ultimately managed to block the attack.

Cerberus?

Everyone was astonished by this scene. The reason was simple: Cerberus had once appeared as a guardian deity in the vast world of gods, but now he had been summoned by Karen.

What's this? Can it summon two guardian deities?

Sylvia, regaining her senses, changed her expression and hurriedly warned, "Loss, be careful!"

At this moment, Karen had finished charging up his power. His figure transformed into a blur, and the blood-red giant scythe, gathering all its divine power, bypassed the aftershocks of the dissipating blade light and slashed fiercely at Los's back.

"Pfft-"
