Chapter 416: Chapter 416 I am the guardian of this world! (4th update)
Having said that, Xue An stepped forward and directly approached the radiant light before grasping it firmly in his hand.
It turned out to be a divine status wrapped in sacred light.
Once Xue An grasped the divine status, the Gate of Light on the vault above started to flicker violently.
Xue An sneered coldly, “This world isn’t somewhere you can come and go as you please! I’ve said that I’d make you sleep here forever, and that includes this divine status!”
With that, Xue An suddenly exerted force.
Crack.
A fine crack appeared on the divine status.
From within the divine status, the frightened cries of the Son of Light could be heard.
“Father God, save me!”
Boom!
With that cry,
the Gate of Light disappeared.
Along with it, the entire sky above vanished.
Brilliant stars hung in the sky, emitting a cold, diamond-like radiance.
A giant deity statue, as resplendent as the sun, slowly lifted its head.
The deity’s eyes were half-closed, yet it seemed as though endless sacred light was contained within them.
The majestic Power of Light caused the entire world to tremble.
All members of the Church of Light prostrated on the ground, tears streaming down their faces as they loudly chanted the holy name of the God of Light.
For them, seeing the Supreme God in their lifetime was a wish fulfilled beyond death.
Meanwhile, members of the Dark Council and the watching crowds, including Asmodeus who had been beaten black and blue by An Yan, all looked on with shock at this scene.
Asmodeus in particular trembled all over, saying in utter horror, “Has the God of Light really taken action himself?”
Yet Xue An was not at all flustered, craning his neck to look at the deity statue that occupied the entire vault of the sky, a hint of a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
“You’re even using the power of your Divine Kingdom to cast down your projection. It seems this land is very attractive to you gods and demons indeed!”
A smile of eternity appeared on the lips of the deity statue, followed by a voice of supreme authority.
“Xue An, though I don’t know why the Wheel of Destiny has signaled that you must be eliminated, but the fact that you harmed my Divine Child is already an unforgivable sin!”
“Divine Child?” Xue An raised the divine status in his hand and offered a faint smile, “Do you mean this trash?”
“Release the Divine Child now, and I might consider sparing your soul!”
Xue An, however, sneered coldly and with a mighty squeeze of his hand,
Boom!
The divine status shattered with a bang, a dazzling radiance bursting forth in Xue An’s hand.
The Son of Light did not even have the chance to cry out before he perished, dissipating into the sky.
Xue An had actually crushed the divine status of the Son of Light to bits!
The God of Light’s statue let out a roar of rage.
The higher the divine rank, the harder the offspring is to bear.
For a High-Grade Divine Spirit like the God of Light, a Divine Child might take tens of millions of years to conceive.
So each Divine Child was a precious treasure to him!
Yet now one had been killed by Xue An!
In a fury, the entire vault of the sky was illuminated with dazzling divine light.
This was the Power of Light, countless times more pure than holy light.
“Judgement!” the deity statue declared.
Great beams of divine light were about to fall.
This was an indiscriminate attack; once it descended, the entire Holy Nation of Light might be destroyed.
Xue An, however, chuckled softly, “You put on quite the show, seems rather intimidating, but…”
Before he finished speaking, Xue An transformed into a streak of light, directly breaking through the covering divine light and flying before the deity statue.
In front of the towering deity statue of the God of Light, Xue An appeared utterly insignificant, not even as large as one of the statue’s small fingers.
Amidst such a stark contrast, Xue An said lightly, “Even the Divine Sovereign of the Myriad Realms must submit to me, what are you… in comparison?”
Upon these words, the deity statue’s lowered eyes slowly opened.
A pair of Divine Eyes filled with fury and disdain.
“Human, I do not know where your confidence comes from, but I will make you understand reverence!”
As he spoke, the hand of the God of Light’s avatar lifted, enveloping the whole sky and slowly descending upon Xue An.
And within this palm strike, there was Divine Light condensed, powerful enough to imprison space itself.
Yet, even in the face of such a heaven-shattering palm strike, Xue An remained neither sad nor happy, but simply said indifferently, “It is you, such a self-righteous Divine Spirit, who should truly learn reverence!”
With those words, Xue An transformed into a streak of light, directly piercing through the hand, arriving at the avatar’s brow.
One after another, spotless lotuses emerged.
The God of Light’s avatar trembled, “Divine Flame! How do you possess such a Divine Flame?”
Xue An gave a slight smile, “That question, think it over when you roll back to your Divine Realm!”
Having said that, Xue An raised his fist and struck!
“Extinguish!”
Crack.
Cracks gradually appeared on the massive avatar of the deity.
Then a voice came, desperate and tinged with a sliver of fear, “Who are you really?”
“I… am the guardian of this heaven and earth! This world is not for you gods and demons to covet!” Xue An stood proudly and spoke lightly.
“You wait, I will…”
Xue An laughed, “No need for you to come looking for me, it won’t be long before I come looking for you!”
Boom!
The avatar began to crumble and break, eventually collapsing into dust, disappearing without a trace.
The sky returned to normal.
The warmth of the sunlight fell down.
No one spoke.
Everyone looked at the man above the dome with reverence.
Because he was one who could slay gods!
A streak of light flashed by, and Xue An appeared next to An Yan, then gave Asmodeus, who was dumbstruck, a faint smile.
“Now it’s your turn!”
Asmodeus trembled all over, scared nearly to the point of wetting himself.
“Spare me, my lord, spare me, I will roll back to the Blood Realm right now and never come to this world again!”
Xue An shook his head, “That sounds rather good, but it’s too late!”
Having said that, flames enveloped Asmodeus.
Asmodeus, true to his origins as the progenitor of the Blood Clan, even under the Divine Flame, held out longer than the average member of his kind.
A good while passed.
Asmodeus was completely refined, turned into a Blood Pearl the size of a child’s fist.
Xue An, with a smiling face, handed the Blood Pearl to An Yan.
“Yan’er, keep it safe!”
“Mm-hmm!”
Then Xue An looked around the crowd.
Many people were avoiding his gaze, not daring to look him in the eye.
And when he saw the people of the Church of Light, Xue An flew straight over.
The Patriarch of the Church of Light was as pale as death, and nearly fainted when he saw Xue An appear.
“You… what are you going to do?” the Patriarch said with a quivering voice.
Xue An revealed his handsome teeth, smiling ominously, “What do you think?”
“You are a devil, God will not forgive you!” the Patriarch said, trembling.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than the Chief Judge of the Inquisition suddenly stepped forward and stabbed a dagger into the body of the Patriarch of the Church of Light.
The Patriarch screamed, his holy light fluctuating, but was completely unable to stop the Chief Judge of the Inquisition.
“You…” the Patriarch turned to look at the Chief Judge, his face full of rage and hatred.
Yet the Chief Judge just laughed, “Without the Three Holy Relics, you are no longer the Patriarch! And you are too old-fashioned!”
