Chapter 947

Once the enemy counterattacks the Zi Yun Empire, their nations surrounding Zi Yun Empire will be the first to fall, and they will be lost immediately!

As deities within the Divine System, losing their nations isn't really a big deal.

The problem is… if Zi Yun Empire is lost, that would be a catastrophic event!

Zi Yun Empire is the domain of the Zi Yun Divine Lord!

The awkward part is… the Zi Yun Divine Lord cannot be reached right now!

If Zi Yun Empire is lost under their watch, and the Zi Yun Divine Lord blames them, they cannot bear the wrath of a Divine Lord!

"I'll go search for the Divine Lord in the Void Lands!"

At this moment, one of the Zi Yun Divine System's deities volunteered.

"Impractical."

Another deity rejected the proposal.

"The Void Lands are too vast, your speed is too slow—you could never catch up to the Divine Lord."

That deity continued.

"What if we expend more power and send down additional battle incarnations?"

Another deity proposed.

No deity responded to this proposal.

Because the woman who had annihilated their battle incarnations in seconds made them feel that sending down more battle incarnations would be utterly useless.

"You all combine your strength to open a passage, give me all your Divine Stones, and I will resolve all problems."

At this moment, Lord Yuer spoke up.

"Lord Yuer, you… what do you plan to do?"

One deity asked.

"Shhh!"

Lord Yuer drew a sword, its blade radiating terrifying cold light.

"Judgment Sword—Lord Yuer, you don't intend to bring this sword to the Continent of Gods, do you?"

Seeing his action, one deity realized something and drew a sharp breath!

"Why not? The laws of the Continent of Gods are too heavily reinforced; sending down a Third Rank Divine Incarnation is too difficult for us—perhaps only the Divine Lord could manage it. Better to seal this sword and send it down: unsealing one layer allows easy slaughter of Second Rank Divine Incarnations, unsealing two layers allows easy slaughter of Third Rank Divine Incarnations, unsealing three layers permits the killing of Fourth Rank Divine Incarnations."

Lord Yuer's eyes glinted with cold light.

"A sword imbued with massive divine essence entering the Continent of Gods will easily trigger law backlash—if all three seals are truly broken, there will be only one strike before the sword is utterly destroyed and cannot be retrieved to the Heavenly Realm. This Judgment Sword was forged by the Divine Lord… it's not cheap."

Another deity immediately spoke up.

"Now is not the time to be stingy—we have no other choice. I alone bear the loss."

Lord Yuer added.

This Judgment Sword was the weapon left to Lord Yuer by the Zi Yun Divine Lord before he went to pursue the Eternal Night Goddess, containing vast amounts of divine essence.

This divine essence was the accumulated reserve of the Zi Yun Divine Lord over many years!

If lost, the loss would be immense!

Yet Lord Yuer seemed resolute.

"But Lord Yuer, the enemy possesses such a powerful Divine Incarnation—what of their deities…?"

One deity hesitated.

"Cowards who hide in shadows—what is there to fear?"

Lord Yuer snorted.

"That woman is likely a Third Rank Divine Incarnation of the Eternal Night Empire—otherwise why rush in and rush out? Their deities aren't necessarily strong. Even if they are, what of it? The great war has already begun, the enmity is already forged—do we surrender Zi Yun Empire just because the enemy is strong? The Divine Lord is absent; here, I am in charge. Do it!"

Lord Yuer insisted stubbornly, his tone becoming utterly resolute.

When communicating with other deities in the Divine System, he rarely used "this seat," but now he directly used this term to refer to himself.

The other deities of the Zi Yun Divine System exchanged glances.

In each deity's eyes, they saw the same meaning:

That Lord Yuer had likely been driven mad by the shock!

Yet, it seemed this was the only option left.

The Zi Yun Divine System's major deities completed their deliberation in mere seconds.

On the Continent of Gods, in the endless desert, seconds had passed—the "fireworks" of the deities' destroyed battle incarnations had not yet faded.

"Sss!"

From the sky above Zi Yun Empire, countless sharp intakes of breath echoed!

Although Angesite arrived swiftly, many high-rank mages had still witnessed her strike.

Fast—too fast!

Faster than anything real!

These high-rank mages had once experienced such speed themselves.

When dealing with First or Second Rank novices, they too could annihilate them in an instant.

But the deities' battle incarnations just annihilated were not novices.

Compared to those annihilated battle incarnations, they themselves were the true novices!

A single battle incarnation could effortlessly slaughter them en masse!

Yet, such powerful battle incarnations were wiped out entirely in mere seconds by a woman who appeared suddenly!

This was terrifying!

So much so that some Grand Mages still in battle froze, forgetting they were fighting, and were promptly pierced into arrow-stuffed targets by winged warriors.

"This isn't real, this isn't real!"

On the sandboat, the Imperial Prince of the Zi Yun Empire frantically rubbed his eyes, muttering to himself.

He simply could not believe what he was seeing!

So many Divine Manifestations!

Enough Divine Manifestations to crush the opponent!

Yet they burst like balloons, shot apart one after another by seven arrows from that woman!

This scene had exceeded the Imperial Prince's understanding!

Those were Divine Manifestations!

Several of them carried the power of a Sacred Domain.

Even those without Sacred Domain power, as Divine Manifestations, could still unleash combat strength on the level of a Sacred Domain!

Those nine Divine Manifestations were more terrifying than nine Sacred Domains.

Yet in that woman's hands, they were no different from shattering nine blocks of tofu!

It wasn't just the Imperial Prince who felt this way.

Even the legendary Zi Yun Holy Son felt the same.

As a legend, the Zi Yun Holy Son knew better than anyone how powerful a Sacred Domain was.

Becoming a Sacred Domain had been his lifelong pursuit.

Though legendary beings were already exceedingly rare on the Continent of Gods,

the Zi Yun Holy Son still felt unsafe unless he reached the Sacred Domain.

In the Zi Yun Holy Son's eyes, legends were fragile.

Only a Sacred Domain was truly powerful!

But what he had just witnessed made the Zi Yun Holy Son realize for the first time: Sacred Domains were also fragile!

No, Sacred Domains weren't fragile at all!

They only seemed fragile because the woman who suddenly appeared was too powerful!

So powerful that even Divine Manifestations, harder to deal with than ordinary Sacred Domains, were utterly defenseless!

"The Zi Yun Empire is probably finished!"

The Zi Yun Holy Son thought.

Yet no sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the sky changed again.

The sky churned with wind and clouds, and soon, another passage opened once more!

"Huh? More of them?"

Lucini let out a soft exclamation.
