Chapter 1216: The God Clan’s Great Slayer!
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Ancient God Continent was the ancestral star of the God Clan. This place had the thickest earth and heaven energy in the vast universe.
It was a place filled with mountains and ancient trees piercing the high sky. The lakes here were crystal clear so people could see the ground in the water. Many shrines situated majestically and imposingly. It was the center of the cosmos where the God Clan were born.
The center of the continent had many grand shrines standing imposingly in this world. White clouds hovered above the unceasing mountain ranges, which looked so marvelous.
There were thirteen big mountains and twelve of them surrounded the biggest one. The twelve summits represented the twelve families of the God Clan. That highest peak was the holy land of the God Clan. The Elder Committee guarded this place.
The Elder Committee was the soul of the God Clan. Each member of the Committee was one of the best experts whose name was written on the Book of Gods. Some had secluded for years while others were traveling around the galaxy. However, half of them guarded this highest peak: the God Zenith. They stayed there to manage the God Clan and maintain the benefits of the entire clan.
The Elder Committee had the power to control all the forces of the God Clan. As long as the Elder Committee made a decision, the Chief of the twelve great families of the God Clan had to strictly follow them.
In fact, the members of the Elder Committee were often Chiefs and elders from the twelve families. They were powerful sages of the God Clan.
The Elder Committee had the supreme right within the God Clan.
The main shrine of the God Zenith was built with top quality divine crystals. It looked like black jade that held formidable energy. This shrine worshipped the statues of the God Clan's precursors. Those divine statues had the auras of miraculous power Upanishads. Each statue was sacredly imposing with a height of one thousand meters. They looked so real like the God that could observe everything.
The walls of the shrine had many complicated and mysterious carvings of the God Clan's glorious history. The timeline of how the God Clan had become so strong was recorded by those mysterious drawings. Someone could see some images from those absurd drawings that told the rise of the God Clan.
Of course, only the warriors that had God blood could see the magical images.
The ones who were eligible to enter this hall were members of the Elder Committee and the chiefs of the twelve families. Outstanding warriors could also enter this place, but only a select few.
Haig had the honor to come here to meditate for five years. He had learned the essence of Light power Upanishad here. He became the designated future leader of the God Clan.
Although Harson, Mia, and Phelps were prominent, talented warriors of the God families, they weren't qualified to enter this place.
Today, this mysterious hall had the aura of Ranno's soul as it received his call.
The statues of the precursors that had stood imposingly in this hall suddenly released terrifying auras that made people feel so uncomfortable. Their auras were profound but surging like a galaxy.
The hall didn't even have a shadow.
However, after Ranno's soul aura arrived, the dark eyes of the statues began to flare with a strange light. A soul energy fluctuation started to appear.
The Elders' whereabouts were unknown, but they could use those statues to send their souls to this shrine.
Slowly, the soul altars emerged above the heads of the statues. The Elders of the God Clan had come here by using their souls.
A voice suddenly arose, "Tell us your reason."
Ranno had used his secret technique to deliver just a beam of his soul. It wasn't his real soul altar. His shadow flickered and hurried to send a soul message to explain the situation to Fick and his encounters at Agate Star Area. The soul altars of the Elders had received the message even when they were billions of miles away from this place.
Ranno quickly finished, his soul screaming, "We need help from the clan. This battle is related to the fame of our clan. If we lose, the other star areas will think that we're declining. They will have other thoughts. We can't make a mistake in this battle. Also, we must kill the successor of the Bloodthirsty Force!"
The soul altars in this hall were jet black, brilliant, or mysteriously deep as the Elders were listening to him silently. They didn't intervene.
After Ranno had stopped talking, a voice arose and answered him, "Currently, only half of the members of the Elder Committee can connect their souls to the God Punishment Tower, which reduces its power. We can't destroy the entire Devil Blood Star and all the creatures there instantly. We can only break the barriers and restrictions there."
Ranno's shadow twisted for a while and then said, "The reinforcements from the other star areas are approaching. We..."
"The main purpose of this battle is to kill the successor of the Bloodthirsty Force. Once we can confirm he's killed, the Elder Committee will open the "Sky Bridge" for you. Agate Star Area is very far from here. We're afraid that it will take a lot of time to send reinforcements there. You guys will use the Sky Bridge to leave. We will have strict punishments to those major star areas," continued the voice.
Ranno agreed, "Thank you."
"You must kill that brat!" that harsh voice added.
The soul altars floating above the heads of the statues observed Ranno's soul nonchalantly. They were like the ones who had recognized their "paths" and left this mortal world for many years. Afterward, their auras gradually vanished and the soul altars faded away.
. . .
"Ptui!"
Ranno vomited blood. Although his face was pale, his eyes were twinkling in a terrifying manner.
The brocade gown on his body was dyed red. He didn't care about that and just grinned, "I talked to them."
Fick, Mia, and Phelps were thrilled.
"So?" Fick hissed.
"They will deliver the God Punishment." Ranno wiped the blood on his mouth with the back of his hand. "Unfortunately, half of the Elders aren't available. They're too far away or cultivating. The power of the God Punishment will be reduced. We can't erase Devil Blood Star in just a blink. We can only destroy all the barriers and restrictions."
"That's enough!" Fick's eyes brightened.
"The Elder Committee sent us clear instructions. They asked us to kill that Immortal Demon brat. As long as we confirm that he's killed, the Elder Committee will open the Sky Bridge for us. After we come back safely, our clan will punish the major star area! Twelve families will take action this time!" Ranno bellowed.
Fick and the others cheered up.
Bai Can of Dry Bone Star Area had a complicated visage.
He knew how the God Punishment was.
The God Punishment was a sharp weapon of the God Clan. The Elder Committee controlled it. No one knew how they had built this thing, but it was lethal enough to destroy the world.
Previously, the God Clan had invaded many star areas. Whenever they encountered a tough opponent like Devil Blood Star, they would request the Elder Committee to use the God Punishment.
When the God Punishment arrived, the famous life star turned into ashes in just a blink of an eye unless it was an ancient continent
All the creatures hiding on that life star would perish within a breath. Their Soul Seals would vanish together with their souls.
The God Punishment was infamous. Warriors from big star areas lost color on their faces when they heard this name. Because until now, no life star could dodge or stand against this destructive attack.
It was one of the great attacks of the God Clan
------------------------
In the sky of Devil Blood Star, many battleships of the clans were anchored. They were ready and looking at the barriers and the God Clan's battleships that were firing energy light columns.
All of a sudden, all the battleships of the God Clan stopped firing.
Standing on a battleship, Shi Yan arched his brows and turned to Fu Wei, "The God Clan can't maintain their crystal artilleries for a long time?"
Fu Wei was bewildered. "No, it's not true. Even the crystal artilleries we make could fire continuously if we have enough divine crystals."
"That's impossible." An Liya furrowed her bold brows. "The battleships and the crystal artilleries of the God Clan are all top weapons of this world. They would never have such a problem. I'm sure they stopped firing because of something else."
Shang Chen nodded. "They may have another plan."
Right after that, a cyan jade he wore on his chest emitted an icy, cold air. He jerked back, his face odd.
"What happened?" An Liya was standing near her husband so she could feel the cold air diffusing from his body.
Shang Chen didn't answer. He placed one hand on his chest, his eyebrows frosted. He was listening to the message from the cyan jade. Frederick of the Bloodthirsty Force had given him this jade. It could transfer soul messages through star areas.
He looked stern when he was listening to the message. His face gradually grimaced and became scared.
People couldn't understand the reason. They were baffled, looking at him and wondering.
Only An Liya was somber. She knew that the jade on Shang Chen's chest was a secret treasure within the Soul class.
Shang Chen and An Liya didn't keep many secrets from each other. However, Shang Chen had never told her the profile and functions of that cyan jade.
She knew the situation wasn't right.
Indeed...
After a while, Shang Chen took a deep breath to calm his frantic heartbeat down. He spoke suddenly, "I want to talk to Shi Yan in private."
He sounded so resolute that no one could protest. He was always a gentle and cheerful man. He rarely had such a stern face. Seeing him like that, everybody was perplexed.
"Alright!"
Blood Devil proactively stayed away.
Seeing him leaving, Feng Han, Fu Wei, Lin Xin, Bath, and Gu Te followed him. An Liya hesitated for a while, but Shang Chen didn't ask her to stay. She sighed and then left the hall. She was the last one who left the hall.
Shang Chen stared at Shi Yan. After everybody was gone, he hissed, "You should leave Devil Blood Star first!"
Shi Yan knew something weird had happened here so he didn't babble. He just asked directly, "Give me a reason."
"The God Clan will use the God Punishment!" Shang Chen stressed each word.
Shi Yan changed his visage.
He had struggled on Desolate for years. He had fought shoulder by shoulder with Shang Ying Yue, Cecilia, Mo Fou, Wu Feng, and the others. He had purposely asked to know many mysterious deeds of the God Clan. He knew what the God Punishment was.
The God Punishment was used to destroy an entire life star. A life star that had developed for billions of years would turn into nothingness. All the creatures there would perish.
It was a great slayer of the God Clan!
"We'll go together," Shi Yan hesitated for a while and then said, "I can open the space passage leading directly to Grace Mainland."
"No, no need. This time, the God Punishment is limited. It can only break the barriers outside. It can't erase Devil Blood Star. I'm staying. I will teach the God Clan a lesson," said Shang Chen.
"Then why did you ask me to leave?" Shi Yan exhaled.
"They are using the God Punishment because of you! The Elder Committee ordered the two families to kill you at any cost. Things have changed. Sha Zhao and the others can't come here on time. You have to go. You're their primary target!" Shang Chen bellowed.
"I don't need to leave."
Shi Yan suddenly smiled. "Bello's soul is hurt poorly. I know many of them can defeat me, but I'm sure they aren't strong enough to kill me. If I want to leave, none of them can stop me."
