Chapter 935: The Holy Maiden

"Have you contacted the Divine Lord?"

In the Distant Heavenly Realm, far beyond the Continent of Gods, several divine wills had gathered together.

"Not yet. The Divine Lord is pursuing the Eternal Night Goddess and has entered a void zone—no method we've used can establish contact."

Said one divine will.

"The Divine Lord's nation is at war with a kingdom east of the Eternal Night Empire. According to my Grand Bishop, the enemy has three Sacred Domains and is powerful."

Said another god.

"It may be a small empire backed by the Eternal Night Empire. Their army flies the banner of flame—we don't know when this nation emerged, nor who their god is. As for the Sacred Domains, they may be sent by the Eternal Night Empire."

At this moment, a divine will significantly stronger than the others speculated.

Clearly, the Kingdom Bishops in the Purple Cloud Empire's army had already reported the entire battlefield situation during their prayers.

And these gods were precisely the gods of the Purple Cloud Pantheon.

They were all the gods of the kingdoms surrounding the Purple Cloud Empire.

This divine will, clearly much stronger, was the god of a small empire near the Purple Cloud Empire—the third-tier god.

The Purple Cloud Pantheon possessed one third-tier peak god and one other third-tier god, effectively two third-tier gods, plus eight second-tier gods, totaling ten divine beings—still a fairly powerful pantheon in the Distant Heavenly Realm.

Yet these gods of the Purple Cloud Pantheon clearly did not know the title of the Lord of Flame.

It remained unknown whether the Purple Cloud Divine Lord himself knew the title of the Lord of Flame.

After all, Lin Yan's battle in the Spirit God Domain had only made him slightly famous in the Distant Heavenly Realm.

The Distant Heavenly Realm was too vast, and information spread with great delay.

Only exceptionally major events triggered widespread dissemination.

The battle in the Spirit Domain was certainly a major event to ordinary gods, but not especially shocking to gods within a pantheon.

Yet the battle in the Sun, where Lin Yan instantly killed two Divine Lords, was undeniably a major event.

Though many gods witnessed that battle, the number was still not large—only over a hundred gods near the spatial gate, plus three Divine Lords.

Moreover, gods across the Distant Heavenly Realm were now entering the Sun, and the Eternal Night Goddess's breakthrough to the fourth tier was the only matter of true concern to the Divine Lords—so that battle had not yet spread widely.

It would likely only spread after the Sun's radiant tides ended and the Eternal Night Goddess's matter was settled.

Then, when gods across the Distant Heavenly Realm emerged from the Sun, they would be stunned by the new rumor:

Apparently, another big shot had suddenly appeared in the Distant Heavenly Realm!

"Lord Yuer, what should we do now?"

Asked one divine will.

Lord Yuer was the other third-tier god in the Purple Cloud Pantheon.

Lord Yuer said: "They are near the Eternal Night Empire and aiding it in battle—they are already enemies. We must first send down power and crush them. We cannot let our army lose; if the Divine Lord returns and blames us, we cannot bear the consequences!"

"Agreed!"

The gods of the Purple Cloud Pantheon quickly reached a consensus.

"If their Sacred Domains are too strong, we nine gods will open a passage together—I will send down a battle avatar."

Said Lord Yuer.

"Agreed!"

The nine gods had settled on their plan.

Many hands make light work—many gods make light work too.

If a single god acted alone, opening a passage and sending down a battle avatar would cost much energy and time, and after sending it down, the avatar would usually need to absorb energy from the Continent of Gods for a long while to gain sufficient combat power.

But now, with nine gods working together, Lord Yuer's burden was shared, allowing him to swiftly send down a battle avatar of considerable strength.

This was one of the purposes of a pantheon's existence.

A united group of gods was clearly more terrifying.

After the nine gods of the Purple Cloud Pantheon settled on their plan, the Kingdom Bishops below received their response.

Then, through special banners, they relayed the reply to the Purple Cloud Saint Son.

"The gods have responded—strike now!"

The Purple Cloud Saint Son commanded.

"Leave it to this old man!"

Saint Domain Gabriel laughed loudly, leaping into the sky from the sandship.

"Little girl, let us test our skills!"

Gabriel chose Meng Ying as his opponent.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, vast amounts of power descended, striking toward the fox girl Qing Ling and Lucine.

The nine gods had acted!

And Gabriel's strike seemed like a signal.

Immediately, the Purple Cloud Empire's mages moved in unison!

Several legendary spells, dozens of forbidden spells, and hundreds of Seventh Rank mage masters attacked simultaneously, unleashing a sky-covering barrage of magic toward the Flame Empire's mages.

"Prepare for battle!"

From the Flame Empire's flying ships, a large number of mage masters above Seventh Rank suddenly soared into the air.
