Chapter 789: Descending Upon The Godly Mountain, Another Battle With The Venerable Gods
The Godly Mountain, home to the gods of this world.
Here was where the Gods ruled over the realm.
On the peak of Godly Mountain stood thirty-three pagodas, each representing a Venerable God. The centermost pagoda was built with the greatest elegance, with countless Daoist patterns orbiting the structure, forming a shield that encased the building within.
“What do you think? Will Cang come?”
An indifferent voice came from a whitish divine pagoda.
It was the voice of the Light God.
“He’ll be here. After all, he has said it before himself at the Emperor Mountain. Now that the human race has to endure this catastrophic blizzard, his absence will only spell a year of famine ahead.”
“Heh, once he’s here, only death shall await!”
“That’s right. This is the Godly Mountain, our homeland. It’s filled with an abundance of divine power. No one is worthy to be our opponent in this place.”
“Besides, Spacetime has set up a trap right here.”
Voices were heard back and forth between the pagodas.
In the past few years, the gods watched as Chu Kuangren led the human race to its glory. Not only were the commoners enjoying prosperous lives, but there had been a surge of cultivators as well.
That made them uneasy.
If a few years were all it took to achieve these changes…
Then what would happen in a few thousand years? What about in dozens of millennia?
It would be a matter of time before the human race overthrew the rulership of the gods!
“He’s here.”
A clear voice interrupted the flow of the conversation.
The Venerable Gods went quiet for a moment.
The atmosphere felt heavier.
Outside the Godly Mountain.
A figure with a white coat emerged from the void.
Chu Kuangren looked at the towering majestic Godly Mountain in front of him that was seething with divine power. He was visibly annoyed. “So this is the Godly Mountain. Indeed, the air is filled with filthy divine auras.”
Swish, swish…
Ripples of energies broke through the void.
Several gods dashed out of the divine mountains, each wielding their own unique powers. Some controlled the power of frost, some the power of wind, and some the power of lightning. The arrays of divine powers intertwined brightly.
“Who are you? How dare you infiltrate the Godly Mountain?!”
A Greater God snorted.
“Cang, I’m here to seek retribution… for the human race!”
Chu Kuangren answered.
Cang!
At the mention of the name, the eyes of the gods at the scene widened in shock. They were more than familiar with the name!
Cang was the leader of the human race and the slayer of gods. He was the first human in history to kill a Venerable God, and his presence posed a threat to all gods alike.
“Cang… It’s Cang.”
“What’s he doing here in the Godly Mountain…”
“Nonsense. The gods and Cang have always been at odds with each other. He’s obviously here to make a scene. We need to stop him from entering the Godly Mountain.”
The gods’ faces sank in shock. Then, they unleashed their divine powers in the form of terrifying divine energy streams that swarmed towards Chu Kuangren.
“Begone, pesky varmints.”
Chu Kuangren uttered calmly.
As soon as he mobilized his Emperor Thought, the divine energy streams shattered.
Dozens of gods were blasted away by Chu Kuangren’s mind power. The weaker ones instantly exploded.
To Chu Kuangren, any god who was not within the ranks of Venerable Gods was no different than pesky varmints as they were completely harmless to Chu Kuangren.
In fact, they could not even stop him.
The gods were blasted away by Chu Kuangren’s mind power.
Chu Kuangren stepped into the Godly Mountain, surrounded by the bodies of injured gods who wailed in pain as their divine blood tainted the pavements.
“He’s too strong!”
“Is this what a god-killer looks like?”
“H-He’s scary!”
The gods were overwhelmed with a chilling sense of terror.
In the countless years of their existence, it was their first time encountering a human who could slay gods like he would other livestock.
Was he even human?!
“Let him in.”
A voice echoed from the peak of Godly Mountain.
It was the voice of a Venerable God.
The other gods no longer dared to stop Chu Kuangren.
“A wise choice.”
Chu Kuangren said and proceeded to ignore the surrounding gods. He leaped straight to the top of Godly Mountain, covering more than ten thousand meters of distance in each step.
Soon.
Chu Kuangren arrived at the peak and sneered at the thirty-three majestic divine pagodas. “What a luxurious residence.”
Without saying another word, he pointed his finger outwards.
His mind power activated.
The flame current in the realm converged at his fingertip.
Single Thought Series, Cataclysmic Pantheon Flame Lotus.
A stream of ferocious flame erupted and struck a dark pagoda.
All of a sudden, a fire ensued, engulfing the entire pagoda within, and the Venerable Darkness God rushed out from within.
He stared deadly at Chu Kuangren and screamed, “You fool! Don’t you want to solve the crisis that’s plaguing the human race?! Why are you attacking the second you step foot in here?!”
Chu Kuangren stared at the dark pagoda.
Although flames surrounded the pagoda, the entire structure was unharmed.
It seemed like these pagodas were built out of unique materials.
Was this where the Venerable Gods would resurrect after their death?
Initially, Chu Kuangren had considered whether he could tear down the entire Godly Mountain. However, it now seemed like that was not a viable option.
He mocked the Venerable Darkness God, “Don’t you want to kill me anyway? What’s there to discuss? Besides, I’m not here to negotiate terms. I’m here to… kill gods!”
His mind power began to surge once more.
“Hmph! How preposterous!”
“Why don’t you take a look around you? This is the Godly Mountain, our very own territory. This is no place for you to do as you please!”
“Attack!”
A series of majestic divine energy unleashed from the divine pagodas.
Then, the Venerable Lightning God, Venerable Light God, Venerable Wood God, Venerable Sea God, Venerable Demon God, and others emerged from their sanctuaries.
As their divine powers locked onto Chu Kuangren, enhanced by the Godly Mountain itself, their auras became more powerful than they had been anywhere else.
Chu Kuangren chuckled, and Daoist patterns began to emerge from his body.
Dao Convergence state activated.
With his Heavenly Might’s help, his Prominent-quality Dao erupted, and his mind power ravaged through the surroundings like a tsunami.
The Venerable Gods were horrified.
“He has gotten stronger than before!”
“How’s that possible?!”
“How did this human manage to improve so quickly? It has only been a few years!”
The Venerable Gods were puzzled.
Without the Power of Faith, the gods’ abilities would always remain stagnant. It would be difficult for them to improve.
However, Chu Kuangren managed to achieve such tremendous results in a few years.
More shockingly, if most humans possess the same talent as Chu Kuangren, overthrowing the gods would be an effortless feat to achieve.
“Oh, self-limiting Venerable Gods, did this come off as a surprise to you?”
Chu Kuangren mocked.
The way Chu Kuangren saw it, the gods were pathetic creatures who were only blessed with extraordinary power at birth. However, no matter how many years had gone by, their strengths could only remain stagnant without the Power of Faith.
Even if they do have the Power of Faith, they would fall back to their initial state as soon as the Power of Faith collapsed, and they would be doomed to a lifetime of incompetence.
“Attack!”
“Holy Light of Demonic Core!”
“Wood God Pierce!”
“Great Judgment of Light!”
“Great Annihilation of Darkness!”
…
“Single Thought Series, Ultimate Chasm of Convergence!”
Chu Kuangren responded with his ultimate defensive technique, which created an enormous whirlpool into the battlefield.
The divine powers were sucked into the whirlpool and disintegrated immediately.
“Single Thought Series, Unlimited Armaments Desolation!”
Chu Kuangren mobilized his mind power, summoning countless spiritual weapons into the battlefield.
