Chapter 408: Outbreak of Conflict

Priest Mode stared at the eldest princess, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile.

"Eldest Princess, for the sake of you being the sister of Lizhui, just surrender; I will not hurt you.

Serving the great God of Fire is your greatest honor."

Lizhui, that is, the late fourth prince of the Shaya Kingdom.

This fourth prince's mother was from the Flame Temple, and it was rumored that the fourth prince's mother was related to Priest Mode, one of the three great priests of the Flame Temple.

Unexpectedly, this rumor turned out to be true.

Before the eldest princess could reply, Mode finally cast his gaze upon Yuwen Zhanye.

"As for this one, he must be a subordinate of Prince Lin; he will not be so lucky.

Lizhui quite disliked this ninth brother, and now that Lizhui has passed, I will naturally take extra care of those he disliked."

Killing intent surged from Priest Mode, and he struck in the blink of an eye.

Once he struck, Priest Mode held nothing back.

After all, he could not discern the opponent's strength for the moment.

The opponent was at the very least a top-tier High-level Professional, and Priest Mode would not give him a chance.

In an instant, a flame hot to the extreme appeared beside Yuwen Zhanye.

This ball of flame looked small, only the size of a rugby ball, but the power hidden within it was enough to melt Star Meteor Iron.

Any High-level Professional who touched it would surely be injured.

"Lord Zhanye, be careful, this is Raging Fire!" The eldest princess was quick-witted and quickly called out a warning, while simultaneously feeling anxious for Yuwen Zhanye, "My lord, leave quickly, do not worry about me!"

She still had a chance to survive if she stayed here.

After all, she was Diya's daughter, and these people would not truly do anything to her.

Yuwen Zhanye was different; a Legendary powerhouse would be targeted for assassination in this situation.

However, facing Priest Mode's attack, Yuwen Zhanye was light and breezy, very calm.

"This Raging Fire is far inferior to that guy Heng Luo's."

As he spoke, Yuwen Zhanye raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Crack!

Instantly, that terrifying Raging Fire was annihilated in the Void.

This scene surprised the White Wolf Priest and left Priest Mode shocked beyond measure.

"Who are you?" Priest Mode finally began to take Yuwen Zhanye seriously, his voice cold, "How do you know of High Priest Heng Luo?"

The Heng Luo that Yuwen Zhanye spoke of was the former High Priest of the Flame Temple; in order to better serve the great God of Fire, the former High Priest stepped down and entered the Senate of the Flame Temple.

In the current Flame Temple, the High Priest was not Heng Luo, but Heng Luo's status was definitely higher than that of the High Priest.

Yuwen Zhanye looked at Priest Mode, his expression calm: "Yuwen... Zhanye."

"Yuwen... Zhanye?" Hearing this name, Priest Mode's heart skipped a beat, "Yuwen Zhanye of Rakshasa City?"

The Flame Temple had naturally dealt with the Abyss, and even traded with the Abyss.

In the Abyss, the most famous place was Rakshasa City.

In Rakshasa City, there were a vast number of Legendaries, likely numbering in the dozens or nearly a hundred, and when combined with the Legendaries who visited Rakshasa City on a daily basis, this city could be considered... the head of all cities.

In Rakshasa City, where over a hundred Legendaries resided, a few families were the most powerful.

The Yuwen Family was one of them.

This family had a peak Legendary powerhouse.

A peak Legendary, that is, someone whose Legendary Path was nearing its limit, just one opportunity away from becoming a god.

That peak Legendary powerhouse was Yuwen Zhanye.

Seeing Yuwen Zhanye, how could Priest Mode not panic?

I fear that even if he and the White Wolf Priest joined forces, they would not be a match for a peak Legendary.

"Yuwen Zhanye..." Priest Mode's tone softened, "Why don't you stay properly in Rakshasa City, instead of coming to the Continent to meddle in the affairs of our Temple!"

In Rakshasa City, Priest Mode naturally would not dare to provoke Yuwen Zhanye.

But this was the White Wolf Tribe, and the White Wolf God sat here, so Priest Mode had confidence.

Not to mention, now that the gods had fallen to the human world, the God of Fire was currently in the Flame Temple, making Priest Mode even more emboldened.

A peak Legendary was, after all, just a Legendary; although they were the people closest to the gods in the world, they were ultimately not gods.

"Even Heng Luo has to be polite when he sees me, what kind of thing are you, Priest Mode, to manage my business?" Yuwen Zhanye's thoughts turned, his mind pondering how to maximize the benefits for his master, "Today I will take the eldest princess away, let's see... who among you dares to stop me."

Yuwen Zhanye flicked his sleeve, his aura soaring; facing two priests alone, he acted with ease.

"Yuwen Zhanye, you are very strong, and even if I joined forces with the White Wolf Priest, we would not be your match.

But don't forget where this is; this is the White Wolf Tribe, and the White Wolf God sits right here.

And behind me is the great God of Fire; now that the God of Fire has descended to the Continent, do you really want to offend two gods?"

Although Priest Mode believed in the God of Fire, today was not like the past.

Now, the God of Fire's God Kingdom was shattered, which meant that if he died in battle for the God of Fire, his soul could not be received into the God Kingdom.

In other words, he had no chance of resurrection and did not want to die for the God of Fire.

Therefore, he used the names of the God of Fire and the White Wolf God to pressure Yuwen Zhanye.

He would avoid entering the fray if he could.

Beside them, the eldest princess's heart went cold.

At first, she had been excited because Yuwen Zhanye was stronger than she had imagined.

Now, the White Wolf God had actually joined forces with the God of Fire; looking at it this way, her plan was bound to fail.

The opponent consisted of two gods.

Although her mysterious younger brother displayed extraordinary strength and had powerful adventurers like Yuwen Zhanye under his command,

compared to the gods, the gap remained too vast.

"Lord Zhanye, you need not worry about me; leave this place first.

My father is Diya; they would not dare do anything to me!" After a moment of thought, the eldest princess decided not to drag her ninth brother down.

"Yuwen Zhanye, you have an old saying in the East: those who understand the times are outstanding; you had best take care of yourself!" Mode continued to apply pressure.

He did not wish to fight Yuwen Zhanye; forcing the other party to leave would suffice.

However, Yuwen Zhanye did not wish to do so.

He was preparing to gamble on something big.

Currently, the God of the White Wolf was right here in the White Wolf Tribe.

Yet, even with Yuwen Zhanye and Lin Chao having arrived here, it was very troublesome to find the God of the White Wolf.

It was difficult for them to find the God of the White Wolf, but they could force the God of the White Wolf to appear.

Of course, this did not mean Slaying the Wolf Tribe of the White Wolf Tribe.

After all, given the selfishness of gods, even if their own offspring were Slayed, upon sensing danger, they would still watch from the sidelines.

Therefore, what Yuwen Zhanye was thinking of was to lure the God of the White Wolf... along with the God of Fire, to Iron Stone City.

Lure them with what?

He himself was the best bait.

"Why should I leave?" Yuwen Zhanye wore a black robe, mysterious and powerful, "The God of Fire, a god who has not even become a Medium Divine Power after thousands of years of ascension, can scare me?"

"You actually dare to blaspheme the gods!" Priest Mode was incomparably furious.

The reason for his anger was partly because Yuwen Zhanye blasphemed the gods, and partly because this move by Yuwen Zhanye forced him into a corner where he had no choice but to act.

Otherwise, it would be he who was disrespectful to the gods.

"White Wolf Priest, join forces with me to take this person down.

I carry a Divine Word Scroll on me; he cannot do anything to us!" As Priest Mode spoke, his face wore an expression of heartache.

The Divine Word Scroll was a spell scroll bestowed by a god.

As one of the three great priests, he had only been qualified to receive one in his entire life.

Now that this one was about to be used, Priest Mode felt unbearable heartache.

There was resistance in the eyes of the White Wolf Priest, but this was the White Wolf Tribe, and Priest Mode represented the God of Fire and was a guest of the God of the White Wolf; naturally, he could not watch a guest get hurt.

The two priests joined forces, and Priest Mode even took out the Divine Word Scroll from his hand.

Seeing the Divine Word Scroll, the eldest princess revealed an expression of wariness in her eyes: "Lord Zhanye, you must be careful.

Within the Divine Word Scroll is contained a strand of a deity's Divine Power, enough to threaten a Legendary."

Gods dealing with Legendaries was a crushing posture; dealing with peak Legendaries required a bit of effort.

Of course, it was merely a bit of effort.

The Divine Word Scroll was a spell scroll crafted by the God of Fire and bestowed upon his believers.

Within this type of scroll was contained a continuous strand of the God of Fire's Divine Power.

Such a scroll was incomparably precious; even gods rarely crafted them, as it would consume the god's Divine Power.

But this type of scroll was also very powerful; in terms of might, it was comparable to a few strikes from a god.

Although it could not Slay a peak Legendary, it was enough to cause irreparable damage to a peak Legendary.

Yuwen Zhanye's expression was calm; he was waiting for the Divine Word Scroll.

"Eldest Princess, stand behind me; once I finish solving things here, I will take you and Riyan away."

Yuwen Zhanye stepped forward, completely unafraid.

Priest Mode gritted his teeth; he knew that he could not hesitate at this moment.

"Great God of Fire, you leap through the endless Void, scorching all things in the world.

Your Fire is a tempering of the soul, a punishment for sinners.

Descend your God's Fire and burn to ashes the unforgivable enemy before me!"

Following the incantation chanted by Priest Mode, the Divine Word Scroll also began to activate at that moment.

One could see that within the Void, a deity seemed to appear.

That deity's image was illusory and translucent, and in his left hand, he held a ball of Fire.

The Fire burned, radiating endless pressure.

This ball of Fire was composed of Divine Power, representing the Rule of Fire.

The greatest gap between a Legendary and a god was Divine Power and divine office.

Although a Legendary accumulated Divine Power, they could not truly use it, still using the power of a mortal.

No matter how much mortal power there was, how could it contend with the Divine Power of a god?

Fire filled the sky, rushing straight toward Yuwen Zhanye.

Even as a peak Legendary, Yuwen Zhanye had no particularly good way to deal with this kind of Divine Power and Rule of Fire.

However, Yuwen Zhanye was, after all, not a peak Legendary; as of now, he was already a god.

One could see Yuwen Zhanye take a step forward, his eyes carrying an expression of contempt.

"This kind of Fire wants to hurt me?"

He was seen extending his hand, actually grabbing the God of Fire's ball of Fire directly.

That ball of Fire, in his hand, was like a toy.

"The God of Fire is truly worthy of being the most useless god; having become a god for so long... still this weak?"

As he spoke, Yuwen Zhanye blew a breath at that ball of Fire, and that ball of Fire was, in an instant... blown out!

That's right, blown out!

This scene shocked Priest Mode, the White Wolf Priest, and the Eldest Princess.

"How is this possible!"

"This is a Divine Word Scroll!"

Even for a peak Legendary, it is impossible to deal with an attack from a Divine Word Scroll so easily.

Yet Yuwen Zhanye intercepted the Divine Word Scroll's attack with a mere wave of his hand; this is simply too exaggerated.

"You are not a peak Legendary!" Priest Mode gritted his teeth, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.

"When did I ever say I was a Legendary?" Yuwen Zhanye chuckled, and under the shocked gazes of everyone, a wisp of Divine Power emerged in his hand, "Now... it is my turn to strike."

"The God of Fire is truly a piece of trash, and the priests under him are all trash as well."

As he spoke, Yuwen Zhanye gave Priest Mode no chance to resist.

His figure instantly vanished from everyone's sight, and in a flash, he appeared behind Priest Mode.

Yuwen Zhanye possesses the Stealth Divine Profession; Priest Mode was completely unable to resist his Stealth ability.

His palm landed on Priest Mode's back at that very moment, and endless Divine Power erupted.

"Pfft!"

Priest Mode spat out fresh blood, a look of terror appearing on his face.

"Your Excellency... do you wish to start a God War?"

However, Yuwen Zhanye ignored Priest Mode entirely and continued his assault.

His attack speed was extremely fast; the White Wolf Priest could not react at all, instead hiding to the side to defend and secretly communicating with the God of the White Wolf.

How could Priest Mode be a match for Yuwen Zhanye alone?

Shadow Stab!

Shadow Sudden Kill!

Yuwen Zhanye used several Divine Arts in succession.

The first Divine Art broke armor and caused heavy injury, while the second Divine Art went straight for the decapitation.

In an instant, after a few rounds, Priest Mode was unable to parry and was directly Slayed.

Yuwen Zhanye's figure appeared in the hall once more, a smile in his eyes.

"Tell the God of Fire that his old friend, the God of Theft and Wind... was also killed by me."

"If the God of Fire wants to avenge his friend, I don't mind sending you two together... to annihilation."

Although Priest Mode is dead, given the God of Fire's capabilities, he can naturally revive Priest Mode's soul for a period of time to obtain the information here.

Of course, Priest Mode cannot be resurrected.

Yuwen Zhanye left such words naturally to provoke the God of Fire.

A Divine Profession influences a god's personality and habits.

The God of Fire is naturally hot-tempered.

Therefore, before and after the start of the battle, Yuwen Zhanye repeatedly said things that could provoke the God of Fire, just for fear that the God of Fire would not take the bait.

Beside them, the Eldest Princess was completely stunned; she could not speak.

This Yuwen Zhanye, her younger brother's subordinate, is a god??

Then what is her younger brother??

A terrifying thought emerged in her mind.

Could it be...

Her father is a god!

Her younger brother is also a god!

Thinking of this, the Eldest Princess was bewildered, and a strong sense of pleasant surprise surged in her heart.

And just at this moment, a voice arrived: "Newly ascended god, you have crossed the line!"

One could see a projection of a god appearing within the Void.

This deity was none other than the God of the White Wolf!

His true form did not appear; what appeared was merely a projection.

However, seeing this projection, a grave expression appeared in Yuwen Zhanye's eyes.

After all, don't let his casual words from just now fool you.

In reality, he was not a match for the God of Theft and Wind at all.

Naturally, he is also no match for the God of the White Wolf.

At least, not currently.
