Chapter 720

The aura of a second-tier god filled her with immense envy.

"That little sprite is finished—before a second-tier god, she has no chance to resist, Airen. You should thank me; I saved you, or you'd already be a corpse!"

Helia swiftly told the new god Airen.

Airen watched in silence, saying nothing.

After his body leaned out, Star God Hulington's other foot stepped through.

He descended from a distant divine realm, taking only three or four seconds!

Without a holy spirit, it would have taken him much longer to fly here on his own.

Yet for some reason, after his second foot stepped through the passage, Star God Hulington's heart gave an inexplicable leap.

A strong unease enveloped him.

As if taking that step meant utter ruin!

Gods possess highly acute instincts for danger.

At this moment, Star God Hulington actually entertained the thought of turning and fleeing.

"I've come this far—grab her and leave!"

The dignity of a god stopped him.

The moment he stepped out of the passage, he took another step—and the next instant, he appeared before Gaxia, who was speeding away.

Then, Star God Hulington's face turned cold as he reached out to seize Gaxia.

Gaxia, no larger than a fist, turned pale; she flapped her wings and accelerated instantly.

But Gaxia soon realized that no matter how she flew, she could never escape the Star God's grasp!

Some powerful holy spirits can indeed defeat weaker gods.

Though Gaxia's strength was formidable, Star God Hulington was already a Gao Jie of the second tier—before him, Gaxia had no power to resist.

With Star God Hulington's arrival, capturing her would take only one or two seconds.

Then he could seize Gaxia and leave this place!

Just as Gaxia was about to be seized by Star God Hulington, a passage suddenly opened above her.

Immediately, a hand burst forth from the passage, striking Star God Hulington with terrifying might!

Star God Hulington's face turned pale!

For he felt on that hand a divine energy far surpassing his own!

"Retreat!"

He instantly decided to abandon Gaxia and flee!

He had never imagined that the line of faith from Gaxia led not to the Sprite Goddess, but to the Lord of Flame!

Star God Hulington instantly retreated to the passage's location and plunged inside, aiming to return to his divine realm.

But immediately, he realized he could no longer enter the passage.

"Spatial lockdown!"

Star God Hulington cried out.

The space was locked!

And the lockdown was extremely firm—he would need at least several minutes to break it.

But several minutes was more than enough for a third-tier god to kill him!

Now, he finally understood: his instinct had been right.

That one step forward truly meant utter ruin!
