Chapter 1035: The Pursued Zunzhu! The Eternal Night Goddess Breaks Through!

"Aaaah~~ Why is this happening? I can't accept it!"

Amid the flames, the white-robed Lanxu Zunzhu let out a voice filled with unbearable resentment!

He truly could not accept it!

Among all the Zunzhu, Lanxu Zunzhu was one of the youngest.

Even for gods, talent matters.

In today's Heavenly Realm, many gods were once human.

The time each person takes to reach the Sacred Domain varies.

Some achieve the Sacred Domain in just a hundred or two hundred years; others need thousands.

This reflects differences in each person's talent, comprehension, and more.

Likewise, the time it takes to ascend from Sacred Domain to godhood varies.

Some Sacred Domain cultivators swiftly reach Third or Fourth Rank, then become powerful gods.

Others spend a thousand or even ten thousand years just to reach the peak of First Rank, becoming weak gods at best.

Like Ai Lun, she reached the peak of Sacred Domain First Rank in just a hundred years; if someone told her to wait until Third or Fourth Rank to become a god, she'd reach that stage in no time.

Once she reached Third or Fourth Rank, her godhood would make her grow powerful rapidly!

Though lacking a master's guidance and thus taking a detour, Ai Lun's talent remained terrifying.

That's why, despite being a new god still shaping her divine body, she was taken as a disciple by the Tianlan Zunzhu of the Immortal Goddess Sect — a powerful Fourth Rank.

Even some Third Rank gods find it extremely difficult to become the Tianlan Zunzhu's disciple.

He doesn't take disciples lightly!

In short, a Zunzhu who reaches the peak of Third Rank in one or two thousand years is vastly different from one who takes ten thousand years.

The white-robed Lanxu Zunzhu reached the peak of Third Rank in just over three thousand years.

Among all gods in the Heavenly Realm, his speed was exceptionally fast.

Moreover, he was extremely close to Fourth Rank.

So he could not accept it!

He could not accept dying here!

Lanxu Zunzhu desperately summoned the last of his Fourth Rank divine power to resist the flames.

"Flame Lord, I offer myself as your servant, obeying your commands for a thousand years — only spare my life!"

Lanxu Zunzhu gritted his teeth and said.

To survive, he sold a thousand years of his freedom, willing to become Lin Yan's servant!

For a proud man like him, this was worse than death.

"A gentleman seeks revenge; ten thousand years is not too late. As long as the green mountains remain, there will always be firewood. Survive today, endure humiliation for a thousand years — within ten thousand years, I will surely avenge myself!"

Lanxu Zunzhu thought bitterly in his heart.

"Boom!"

But around him, the flames surged violently.

"Flame Lord, you…"

Lanxu Zunzhu was stunned!

He had not expected the Flame Lord to have no intention of negotiating — he meant to burn him alive!

Even if he had angered the Demon Soul Zunzhu, offering to serve him for a thousand years would have meant the Demon Soul Zunzhu most likely would not have killed him.

But the Flame Lord didn't even intend to speak to him!

Lanxu Zunzhu finally realized what manner of being he had provoked!

But it was already too late!

The flames surged — even with half a drop of his Fourth Rank divine power left, he could not resist their assault!

"Aaah…"

Lanxu Zunzhu's cry of resentment was cut off instantly.

Under the terrible flames, Lanxu Zunzhu was completely erased from existence.

Not even a speck of ash remained.

"All dead!"

The surrounding gods stared in stunned silence.

In a short time, all six Zunzhu who had attacked were gone.

The Flame Lord's power and decisiveness deeply shocked every god!

"Do not provoke the Flame Lord!"

In that moment, countless gods formed this thought.

A powerful god is not terrifying.

What is terrifying is a powerful god who is ruthless and shows no mercy to those who defy him!

No one wants to provoke such a powerhouse!

This is precisely why Lin Yan acted so decisively this time!

This was a warning!

"Go!"

At this moment, the voice of the Demon Soul Zunzhu rang again from high above.

The Demon Soul Zunzhu was very far away.

Though it sounded long, in truth, from the moment Lin Yan transformed into his flame form, killed the Void Beast, and slew the six Zunzhu, only a few seconds had passed!

The Tianlan Zunzhu was stunned beyond words because Lin Yan had instantly slain the Void Beast.

The Void Beast was accidentally captured by the Tianlan Zunzhu tens of thousands of years ago in a place of void.

At that time, the Void Beast was still quite weak.

He spent a full tens of thousands of years cultivating it.

As the cultivator of the Void Beast, the Tianlan Zunzhu knew well its strength and tenacity.

Without exaggeration, if the Void Beast had not been cultivated by him, even he himself facing it would have needed to pay a tremendous cost just to contain it!

Just to contain it!

With the Tianlan Zunzhu's strength, killing it was still extremely difficult!

It would require too much, too much power!

So much that killing the Void Beast was simply not worth it for him!

Yet this incredibly tenacious Void Beast could not withstand even one second under Lin Yan's flames!

It was instantly slain!

Even the Tianlan Zunzhu involuntarily froze for one or two seconds.

By the time he snapped out of his shock, Lin Yan had already slain Six Divine Lords!

The Tianlan Zunzhu was unwilling to give up!

But at the same time, he was extremely cautious.

As he pulled back, he hurled his spear toward the Eternal Night Goddess, who was in the midst of breakthrough.

The Tianlan Zunzhu wanted to kill the Eternal Night Goddess while Lin Yan was still far away!
