Chapter 1324

In the distance, billions of thunderbolts surged, converging into a colossal lightning bolt that pierced both heaven and earth.

This massive lightning bolt suddenly descended, smashing down hard upon the earth.

Instantly—

Everything within a radius of over a million kilometers.

Was annihilated in an instant.

Areas beyond a million kilometers also seemed to have experienced a magnitude-20 earthquake.

Mountain ranges collapsed, and landmasses shattered.

"This power—"

"Is over a hundred times stronger than before my ascension."

Li Yue's smile grew even broader.

He estimated—

He had fully reached the True God Realm of the Second Layer of Blazing Sun.

Before his ascension,

Relying on all the High-Grade Divine Artifacts on his person, his Fifth-Rank Divine Office, the Ancient Divine Path, his Inferior Divine Body, and so on,

His strength was significantly greater than a True God of the First Layer of Blazing Sun, but there was still a clear gap compared to a True God of the Second Layer of Blazing Sun.

But now—

Without using those top-tier High-Grade Divine Artifacts one by one,

His strength already far surpassed what it was before.

And if he added the Crimson Blood Spirit-Refining Furnace, the Sun Chariot, the Ten-Sun Battle Armor, the Myriad Spirits Golden Pearl, and other top-tier High-Grade Divine Artifacts—

Even a True God of the Third Layer of Blazing Sun

He would be confident in suppressing!

And if he used the King-Slaying Wings, which were at the level of a Lord Artifact—

That would be a True God of the Fifth Layer of Blazing Sun, yet he would not fear it in the slightest.

It could be said—

From this moment on,

He had truly stood at the very top of the Endless Void.

Of course,

The King-Slaying Wings could not be used lightly.

Lord Artifacts were too precious.

Not to mention ordinary True Gods,

Even a True God at the Great Perfection stage would find it difficult to possess one.

This was a terrifying weapon that only a Lord-level existence could spend vast amounts of time nurturing.

It contained the will of a Lord God.

Hoo—

Li Yue sat down in the lotus position again, closing his eyes to master this power that far exceeded his past.

Time passed very quickly.

In the Material World shrouded by the Endless Blood Void,

The Gwushu Shengcheng

The annual sacrifice ceremony was taking place.

This was the most solemn day for all races.

"Great Lord, you are more sublime than the starry sky, more eternal than eternity, your brilliance shines upon the world—"

"You have granted us life, you have granted us hope..."

"You are the embodiment of time, you are the master of fate, you are the creator of all things..."

"You have granted us power, you have granted us immortality..."

"We devoutly believe in you, we beg for your protection..."

"Great Lord, please accept our sacrifice!"

In the most sacred sacrificial plaza of the Leiting Sect Sect,

Hundreds of thousands of clergy of the Leiting Sect Sect knelt on the ground, their faces filled with fanaticism and devotion.

Pope Huo Ge prostrated himself, his voice issuing forth as sacred and solemn.

The voice roared.

It spread not only throughout the Leiting Sect Sect, but also across the entire Gwushu Shengcheng.

It even expanded outward toward other cities.

Over ten billion beings of all races knelt on the ground, praying devoutly.

A vast tide of faith power surged toward the sky.

The entire firmament—

Was filled with that seemingly endless faith power, dyed a sacred white!

On the Seventh Layer of the God-Ascension Tower,

Li Yue opened his eyes, his gaze calm.

He gazed upon the Material World.

Even though the Material World was no longer beneath the Divine Realm.

It could not block his sight.

"The twenty-ninth year."

He murmured softly to himself.

He casually swept his gaze over the vast multitude of believers kneeling in devout worship.

He also casually sensed the surging, overwhelming power of faith.

His gaze—

rested upon the sacrificial item before the temple.

It was a sinister, pitch-black flower bud.

This bud was enormous, standing over thirty meters tall, its surface covered in a profusion of evil patterns.

Below, twelve flower platforms guarded the central bud.

"What is this?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Li Yue's eyes.

This item—

appeared to belong to the Abyss faction.

"Is it something Pope Huo Ge and the others obtained from that Demon Rift?"

He pondered aloud.

He knew that Pope Huo Ge and the others had entered that Demon Rift.

However, he had paid Meiyouli Society to it.

But it seemed—

they had gained quite a lot?

For he discovered that this flower bud was actually an item of the Upper Divine Rank!

After the sacrifice, with a hundredfold amplification—

it should become an item of the Main God level!
