Chapter 1004

In the distance, some gods residing in this divine realm poked their heads out from their divine realms, and upon seeing so many Divine Lord-level attacks, turned pale with fear.

Yet these gods watched with extraordinary focus.

A war among Divine Lords.

Any one of these Divine Lords, if their divine realm so much as revealed a hint of its presence, could effortlessly obliterate them and their divine realms in a single strike!

The aura of a Divine Lord is terrifying indeed.

In the Heavenly Realm, a Divine Lord at the peak of the third tier is already a standard major figure, positioned just below the apex of the food chain.

Wherever they go, other gods tremble in fear!

And now, so many Divine Lords have arrived here!

This is a world-shaking battle these gods in this divine realm would rarely witness in a lifetime!

And in their eyes, the Goddess of Eternal Night's ability to stand alone against so many Divine Lords was equally terrifying in its power!

"I wonder if she can hold out."

Some gods thought.

Then, these gods saw the Goddess of Eternal Night's robes stir without wind, followed by a terrifying surge of energy—she extended her hand and slammed down, blocking all attacks from over twenty Divine Lords at once!

These gods, with their limited knowledge, were stunned.

"Her divine power is exhausted!"

Seeing this, the surrounding Divine Lords rejoiced loudly.

"All together—kill her, eliminate the threat forever!"

One Divine Lord roared.

But immediately, he froze in shock.

For he saw the Goddess of Eternal Night pull out another drop of fourth-tier divine power and swallow it whole.

"This…"

The other Divine Lords were also stunned.

Fourth-tier divine power is exceedingly rare.

Even some gods within fourth-tier divine lineages cannot obtain it without paying a great price.

Fourth-tier gods normally never release their own divine power.

Because other fourth-tier gods aren't like Lin Yan, who can directly exchange for fourth-tier divine power.

Other fourth-tier gods must spend not only faith power but also many other materials to refine a single drop of divine power into something uniquely theirs, and it requires time.

Although divine power carries unique encryption that's hard to crack, at the fourth tier, techniques are bizarre—what if someone obtains it and cracks even a small part?

If even a small part is cracked, other fourth-tier gods can target you to some extent.

So no one sells divine power.

When in a good mood, fourth-tier gods might bestow a single drop of divine power upon a favored protege for self-protection.

Such divine power has all directional markers stripped away.

But the quantity of such divine power is absolutely minimal.

Yet now, the Goddess of Eternal Night possesses two drops!

"No wonder you dared to challenge the fourth tier—but do you think fourth-tier gods are invincible?"

Lord Lanxu's face turned icy as he spoke.

"That's right, no more hiding—unleash all your techniques, don't give her another moment, or she may succeed at any time!"

Another Divine Lord said.

As soon as this Divine Lord finished speaking, he pulled out a crimson bow!

"The Crimson Flame Bow! This is a top-tier divine artifact! Since it's come to this, I won't hold back either."

Another Divine Lord, seeing the bow, also revealed his own trump card.

It was a great sword!

Soon after, numerous Divine Lords pulled out their own weapons!

Clearly, the Goddess of Eternal Night's tenacity had forced them all to prepare their full strength.

The downside of having so many is that until the critical moment, each will hold back, even hoping to exhaust others' strength.

But now, these Divine Lords have finally stopped holding back!

"Goddess of Eternal Night, even if you had ten drops of fourth-tier divine power, it would be useless—borrowed power is never truly yours. Die!"

Lord Lanxu let out a booming laugh.

No sooner had his laughter ended than he felt a chilling presence that sent ice through his bones!

This aura was not from fourth-tier divine power.

It was…

The true, genuine aura of a fourth-tier god!

"Worse—some fourth-tier god is about to intervene!"

Lord Lanxu's face turned drastically pale.

"It's over—the Lord of Flame has truly come."

Lord Tianfeng and Lord Tianlong both sensed it too, and both instantly grew wildly panicked.

Not just them—all other Divine Lords present felt it as well.

Every single Divine Lord's face changed drastically!

Though there are over twenty Divine Lords here, they are all peak third-tier Divine Lords—numerous as they are, they are utterly powerless against a single fourth-tier god!

Unless these twenty-odd Divine Lords could truly unite as one, they might stand a chance.

But to expect them to unite?

That is utterly impossible.

In such a fragmented state, even twenty or a hundred and fifty peak Third-Level Divine Lords could not stand against a single Fourth-Level Divine!

The eyes of these Divine Lords all turned toward the source of the aura.

There, a pitch-black passage appeared.

Immediately after, a figure clad in black armor, its form obscured but its aura terrifyingly immense, stepped out.

The instant it emerged, the entire Divine Realm trembled.

"Heavens!"

The Divine beings within this realm cried out again in shock.

Such a being was too terrifying—they could not even imagine it!

"It's not the Flame Lord!"

After this terrifying being emerged, Lord Tianfeng and Dragon Lord exchanged a glance.

They had seen Lin Yan fight; they were quite familiar with his aura.

But the aura of this Fourth-Level Divine was clearly different from Lin Yan's.

Lin Yan's aura was a vast, roaring flame, brilliant and dazzling like the sun.

This Fourth-Level being who had descended, however, carried a murky aura—likely wielding power tied to the moon.

"A fine prospect!"

After emerging, the terrifying being spoke without preamble, his voice hoarse.

His gaze fixed on the Goddess of Eternal Night, ignoring utterly the twenty-odd peak Third-Level Divine Lords surrounding him—not even glancing at them.

"You have too many enemies. This time, you will not succeed."

The terrifying being spoke again.

The Goddess of Eternal Night said nothing, continuing to surge her power, pushing against the final step.

"Join my Divine System. Become my Divine Empress. I will ensure your success."

The terrifying being spoke once more.

"So this Fourth-Level being intends to interfere!"

Hearing his words, many Divine Lords felt dread.

Yet, they wisely remained silent.

To speak now would be no different from seeking death!

They all turned to the Goddess of Eternal Night, wondering whether she would accept this Fourth-Level terror.

At last, the Goddess of Eternal Night moved, her gaze locking onto the Fourth-Level terrifying being:
