Chapter 1098

The divine power fluctuations on the ancient god Neer were imperceptible; both of his attacks used not a shred of divine power or rule-based force.

He seemed to rely solely on the strength of his divine body!

In this regard, he resembled the Abyssal Demigods.

Many Abyssal Demigods forged their entire divine bodies from divine matter of the Abyss; such divine bodies were immensely powerful!

But the power of the ancient gods differed significantly from that of the Abyssal Demigods!

"Swoosh!"

At that moment, a sword radiating cold light shot forth, hurtling toward ancient god Neer faster than lightning.

The Goddess of Eternal Night had struck!

On ancient god Neer's face, a hint of seriousness finally appeared.

Yet, having dared to come on this day when all gods gathered, and even dared to trouble Lin Yan, he naturally feared not the Goddess of Eternal Night, newly entered into the Fourth Tier!

Ancient god Neer suddenly thrust out his fist and punched forward!

"Boom!"

The space before him trembled, then cracked with "crack-crack" sounds.

"Ding!"

The Goddess of Eternal Night's sword was smashed aside by ancient god Neer's punch!

"Shadow Blade!"

The Goddess of Eternal Night cried out sharply.

All the gods saw the entire Elven Divine Realm suddenly darken.

Simultaneously, countless pitch-black shadow blades—absorbing all light—appeared around ancient god Neer!

This was the Goddess of Eternal Night's killing move.

Having mastered the Rule of Darkness, her attacks differed entirely from those of the Lord of Demonic Souls.

Her strikes could hide within shadows, rendering them undetectable by other gods!

As soon as the countless shadow blades appeared, they surged toward ancient god Neer from all directions.

"Hmph, interesting."

Seeing the endless shadow blades rushing at him, ancient god Neer made no move to dodge, evade, or defend—he let every shadow blade strike his body.

Within the Goddess of Eternal Night, divine power surged; the shadow blades carried divine power of the Fourth Tier, laced with rule-based attacks—capable of slicing through even the divine body of a peak Third-Tier Abyssal Demigod without resistance.

They posed a terrifying threat even to newly arrived Fourth-Tier Abyssal Demigods.

Yet when these shadow blades struck ancient god Neer's body, not a single one pierced his flesh—all were blocked by his pitch-black skin.

"Hah!"

Ancient god Neer shuddered once, shattering every shadow blade.

The Goddess of Eternal Night's gaze darkened, and in a near-whisper, she spoke to Lin Yan:

"Tianlan Zunzhu, be cautious—his skin's hardness may rival that of divine matter!"

Divine matter!

Divine matter was extremely hard, nearly indestructible!

Even Lin Yan's current flames, wielding the Rule of Destruction, struggled to destroy divine matter.

Pure heat alone stood no chance against divine matter.

Many divine matter formations originated from deep within the sun.

The surface of the Heavenly Realm's sun reached temperatures of hundreds of thousands of degrees.

The heat within its core was unimaginably terrifying—perhaps beyond description even by trillions of degrees.

Divine matter feared no heat.

Even if Lin Yan unleashed his furious combustion, infused it with Fourth-Tier divine power, and activated his strongest rule, he still could not destroy divine matter.

Divine matter was nearly indestructible!

Of course, shields or armor forged purely from divine matter were not absolutely unbreakable, for the smallest unit of divine matter was one gram; even if divine matter pieces were bonded tightly, they remained separate entities.

Yet breaking them was still extremely difficult!

And this ancient god Neer's skin hardness? It rivaled that of divine matter!

Yet his skin was clearly not divine matter!

These ancient gods were truly terrifying!

Within Lin Yan's divine realm, the multitude of gods, seeing ancient god Neer casually withstand an attack from a Fourth-Tier god, each fell into stunned silence.

Even a Fourth-Tier Abyssal Demigod famed for his divine body's resilience would not dare let such an attack land unimpeded, would he?

"Lord of Flames, today you must accept this bell—accept it, or not, you must accept it!"

After speaking, ancient god Neer violently raised the great bell and slammed it toward Lin Yan's divine realm!

As the great bell neared the divine realm, Lin Yan finally moved.

Lin Yan rose, extended his hand, and gently flicked it.

The enormous bell instantly shot back toward ancient god Neer at even greater speed.

"Hahahaha! I thought you dared not strike!"

Ancient god Neer roared with laughter, swinging his massive hammer and smashing it toward Lin Yan's divine realm.

The great bell, upon contact with the hammer, instantly shattered into the finest particles.

The moment the great hammer struck the massive bell, it was shattered into the finest particles.

Ancient god Neer's hammer, carrying terrifying force, surged forward.

The ancient god Neer's hammer surged forward, carrying terrifying power.

Some gods drastically changed expression.

From that great hammer, they sensed a force capable of destroying heaven and earth.

That power far exceeded their own!

The ancient god Neer was not merely strong in brute force!

They had no doubt that if struck by this hammer, even their divine realms would shatter into dust in an instant.
