Sea, dragon, and undead—three vastly different divine powers intertwined, repelling yet merging with one another.
The terrifying divine power dyed the sky into four colors: the deathly gray of the undead, the azure of the sea, the bone-white of the bone dragon, and the flawless, bright white of the moon.
The elder of the Path of Heaven's Heart below took a swift step, appearing beside his disciples and activating his mana with both hands raised toward the sky.
A mountain phantom manifested, settling over the group to shield them from the divine power venting wildly in the air.
However, the elder’s cultivation was only at the Void Refinement stage, a whole major realm below the four gods above.
Furthermore, the divine power of a deity was of extremely high quality and difficult to erase, acting like a bone-eroding poison that was nearly impossible for those not in the same realm to handle.
The mountain phantom continuously withered under the suppression of the four divine powers, its already illusory form becoming increasingly transparent as if it would shatter at any moment.
On Daxia's side, Chen Xu had thrown Feng Wuhen and the Elegant Scholar into the Overlord's City, dispatching Patchwerk to guard them.
【Is this what it looks like when big shots fight? It is all special effects! So cool.】
【Is that Patchwerk next to the streamer, the one ranked second on the pet leaderboard? Why does he have so many extra limbs? That is so eerie.】
【Mythic-tier combat power is already the top level on Blue Star, but Mythic Chen actually has three of them in his hands. That is insane.】
【Do you think Mythic Chen can win? The opponent is the Moon God. I have read records in some dungeon literature saying that natural deities like this are much stronger than ordinary faith-based gods.】
【Ordinary? How did you manage to put that word in the same sentence as Mythic Chen?】
【Fun fact: Mythic Chen was a member of last year's Dragon Seed Program.】
【Holy crap, for real? Becoming a god in one year? I want to report this! Someone is hacking!!!】
High in the sky, three streaks of lunar essence swept toward Chen Xu and his companions.
The lunar essence, condensed almost into solid form, contained the Moon God's vast divine power and moved with incredible speed.
Unlike the moonlight that had fallen on the Overlord's City, these strikes hit Chen Xu and the others in an instant.
Behind the Bone Angel, twelve sacred wings composed of necrotic aura and necrotic faith unfurled.
The wings folded forward, shielding Chen Xu and intercepting the impact of the lunar essence.
On Sindragosa's side, she opened her maw and spread her ice crystal wings, channeling the ultimate cold power throughout her body to release a Frost Breath that clashed directly with the Moon God's attack.
As for Kunpeng, its massive body was covered in a layer of armor formed from the Sea God's power, measuring over ten meters thick.
When the lunar essence struck it, not even a layer of skin was lost, and the impact failed to slow Kunpeng's ascent by even a fraction.
Seeing this, several more streaks of lunar essence fell from the sky, all aimed at Kunpeng.
But Kunpeng chose to ignore them entirely, relying on its thick hide and raw durability to weather the attacks as it led the way into the high heavens.
"Woo!!!!"
With Kunpeng's roar, the Sea God's power surged in the air, and phantoms of massive waves manifested, crashing toward the moon in the sky.
At that moment, the Moon God revealed her human form, floating before the moon.
She was dressed in a long, moon-white robe, with a celestial ribbon identical to the one worn by the Bright Moon Fairy wrapped around her hands and the back of her neck.
The celestial ribbon fluttered up and down, bearing a striking resemblance to the surrounding lunar essence.
Most striking was her head ornament, which featured three moons: a crescent moon, a full moon, and an eclipse.
Currently, only the crescent moon was lit, while the other two remained dim.
With a wave of the Moon God's hand, the celestial ribbon flew out from her arm like a swimming dragon, tumbling through the air as the surrounding lunar essence moved in tandem with it.
Driven by the celestial ribbon, a lunar essence canopy formed, blocking the giant waves stirred by Kunpeng.
Sindragosa immediately followed up, spitting Frost Breath as she lunged toward the Moon God.
The Moon God remained unfazed, merely flicking her finger, causing the celestial ribbon to turn into a streak of light that shot toward Sindragosa.
The celestial ribbon firmly bound Sindragosa's maw, wings, and claws, attempting to suppress her.
However, a flash of blade light swept past as Chen Xu, wielding his dual blades, charged into the fray.
His blades danced through the air in a blur of light and shadow, shredding the celestial ribbon into multiple segments in an instant.
"Hmph, still playing with a celestial ribbon? Do you think you're Nezha?"
Chen Xu looked at the scattered fragments of the celestial ribbon on the ground and let out a sarcastic remark.
Suddenly, Chen Xu had a sudden inspiration and cast Corpse Explosion on the ribbon fragments.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion rang out, and the originally shattered celestial ribbon turned to ash within the blast.
The terrifying explosion generated a massive amount of lunar essence, dyeing the entire sky a pure, stark white and briefly suppressing the divine powers of Chen Xu and his companions.
Opposite them, the Moon God still had her left hand raised, intending to retrieve the celestial ribbon.
The celestial ribbon was a natal dharma treasure she had refined herself, made from the resilient silk of an osmanthus tree and cleansed in a pool of lunar essence through forty-nine intricate processes before its base form was even finished.
It was a treasure she had nurtured for countless years.
Normally, if it were damaged, it would only need to be bathed in moonlight to be quickly repaired and regain its combat effectiveness.
But she never expected that Chen Xu would use Corpse Explosion to blow the celestial ribbon apart, destroying both its form and spirit and returning it to the world.
Even for a natural deity with a cold temperament like the Moon God, a look of rage appeared on her face.
In contrast to the Moon God's fury, Chen Xu was actually enjoying himself.
He hadn't expected Corpse Explosion to work this way; he had simply acted on a whim, wanting to see if fragments of a magical treasure counted as a corpse, and had cast the spell almost as if possessed.
Who says a magical artifact's corpse doesn't count as a corpse? It's perfectly logical.
Furthermore, a magical treasure contained far more energy than an ordinary corpse, making the resulting explosion even more terrifying.
"Vile thief!"
The Moon God struck out in anger.
The crescent moon on her head dimmed, and the full moon lit up.
【The moon! Is the moon falling?!】
【Requesting an expert to explain: how do you deal with celestial-type enemies? Where is their weakness?】
【No idea. Usually, you just blow up the star, right? Like with a star-destroying cannon or a qigong wave.】
【Is this her true body descending? Although Mythic Chen's Kunpeng is huge, it still cannot compare to a planet, right?】
The physical moon was descending rather than its usual projection.
It was clear that this high and mighty Moon God was truly enraged.
"The true body of a deity descends upon the world; the beginning of a great change. Can we truly not escape the prophecy of all these years?"
The elder of the Path of Heaven's Heart muttered to himself as he struggled to maintain his mountain phantom.
"I was waiting for exactly this!"
Unlike faith-based gods, who must have their followers uprooted to be truly slain, dealing with a natural deity—or a world god—required a different approach.
The vital point of a natural deity was their true divine body.
That was the source of their power, their essence, and their everything.
Only by capturing the true divine body could a natural deity be truly defeated.
Now that the Moon God had revealed her true form, Chen Xu no longer needed to hide his trump card.
Chen Xu snapped his fingers, and a sizzling sound immediately echoed in the surroundings.
Something even larger than Kunpeng crossed the boundary, and the terrifying aura it carried triggered the defense mechanisms of the Immortal Island world.
"Guixu, give it a shot!"
