Chapter 1286: The Ancient God Sovereign Falls! The Stunned Gods!

Vast flames possessed an utterly terrifying temperature.

For the Dragon Sovereign, the temperature he could withstand was already terrifying—he had devoured countless Flame Stars, each with internal temperatures measured in hundreds of millions of degrees.

He even dared to swallow the sun of the Heavenly Realm; flames posed little threat to him!

Even around his body, flames roared fiercely.

After sleeping for countless years, he transformed into a colossal star, around which even a life-bearing planet emerged, inhabited by hundreds of millions of humans.

That was why the Dragon Sovereign claimed no flame could kill him!

But that referred only to ordinary flames—not Lin Yan's flames!

After Lin Yan's flames erupted at full power, the Dragon Sovereign's expression shattered, his heart filled with disbelief!

Because the rhythm emanating from Lin Yan's flames at this moment surpassed his own by at least one level!

To surpass him by one level, there was only one possibility:

That Lin Yan had reached the level of a Main God!

Though Lin Yan's form was unique and his power differed from that of the Heavenly Realm's Main Gods, that rhythm was equivalent to the level of a Main God.

Or rather, it matched the unique rhythm brought by a Six-Star Ancient God!

This rhythm could not be sensed by any other Heavenly Realm deity.

Only Ancient Gods—powerful Ancient Gods—could perceive it.

"Impossible! You cannot have reached Main God-level power! No Main God would allow an aberrant god to possess Main God-level power! This cannot be real!"

The Dragon Sovereign roared.

Clearly, the rhythm sensed within Lin Yan's flames had thrown even the Dragon Sovereign, who had lived for eons, into utter psychological chaos!

Main Gods, in fact, were the eternal pain of the Ancient Gods.

Countless eons ago, when Ancient Gods reigned supreme, gods of every kind stood across the world.

At that time, a few gods discovered the secret of faith power and began cultivating their own nations on the Gods Continent, establishing the Heavenly Realm.

The early Heavenly Realm was so weak.

So weak it dared not attract the attention of any Ancient God.

Even after the first Main God was born, the Ancient Gods paid him little heed.

Only after countless more years, when war erupted between the Heavenly Realm and the Ancient Gods, did the Ancient Gods first realize the power of Main Gods!

That war lasted tens of thousands of years, turning sky and earth dark, shattering continents.

Countless Ancient Gods bled out; countless Heavenly Realm deities perished.

Yet in the end, the Heavenly Realm emerged victorious!

From then on, Heavenly Realm deities became the dominant force.

Soon after, the Heavenly Realm grew ever stronger, labeling all deities outside its system as aberrant gods.

Ancient Gods were, in fact, one kind of aberrant god.

Evil Gods were too.

Evil Gods were among the most malevolent of aberrant gods.

As the number of Heavenly Realm Main Gods increased, they not only blocked the birth of new Main Gods within their own ranks.

In fact, the Heavenly Realm Main Gods also prevented any aberrant god from reaching Main God-level power, fearing these aberrant gods would grow strong enough to overthrow Heavenly Realm rule.

When suppressing the emergence of Main Gods among Heavenly Realm deities, the Main Gods' methods were relatively mild—they rarely acted directly, preferring to use others as tools.

But if an aberrant god attempted to ascend to Main God-level power, the Heavenly Realm Main Gods showed no mercy whatsoever.

Lin Yan's flame form was, in a sense, also an aberrant god.

Flame-born deity, with a system utterly unlike that of Heavenly Realm deities—what else could he be but an aberrant god?

That was why the Dragon Sovereign felt such profound terror!

To the Dragon Sovereign, it was astonishing enough that Lin Yan, as flame, possessed such terrifying power—now he had also acquired Main God-level rhythm!

This was simply impossible!

The Nine Main Gods of the Heavenly Realm would never permit an aberrant god to succeed!

"That's only impossible to you!"

Lin Yan snorted, and his flames surged violently.

Under the furious combustion, the Dragon Sovereign's expression changed again.

Because he felt the flames burning around him vanish instantly under Lin Yan's fire.

Then, Lin Yan's flames burned onto his body.

His skin, comparable to divine substance, melted rapidly beneath Lin Yan's flames.

Instantly, the Dragon Sovereign's heart was filled with utter horror!

If the unique rhythm in Lin Yan's flames—detectable only by Ancient Gods—could still be faked,
