Chapter 1496

Within a 10,000‑kilometer radius, players formed guild‑based units, clustering regionally in batches.

Some solo players, however, were together with their friends.

Aqius seeing so many people, said: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a formation; perhaps you can really create a miracle."

Immediately it detached from Xiao Feng's hand and flew away.

Hum—

A powerful aura emanated.

Xiao Feng and the others only saw the little snake burst forth with scorching white light on its body; immediately afterward, a huge figure appeared in the void before them.

【God King·Giant Serpent Aqius (Enlightened Dharma)】

Level: 1240 (God King)

HP: Unknown

Note: The last God King of Yuan Su Shen Yu.

This giant serpent had a massive body over 2,000 meters long, coiled in place.

On its head grew a bone structure resembling a crown, like dragon horns, mighty and unmatched.

Its entire body was purplish‑brown, each scale as large as a boat; the scales formed a mysterious pattern, emanating an aura that could not be gazed upon directly.

"The boss has appeared!"

"Holy shit, it's huge!"

"Level 1220, no wonder it's a world boss!"

Players near and far saw Aqius, exclaimed in astonishment, and many immediately attacked.

Xiao Feng, turning his Luck into divine power, his chest emitted a huge sound as he lowly shouted: "Stop! This is not a monster; nobody is to attack!"

His voice echoed across a range of over ten thousand kilometers; many who had intended to attack were stunned.

A 2,000‑meter boss is already huge for ordinary people; even compared to the Lord of the Earth it has some weight, so people mistook it for a world boss.

But Aqius was actually just a bait.

The first wave of attacks from nearby players landed on it, dealing negligible damage.

He did not get angry; he simply raised his head and let out a roar that had been suppressed for a hundred thousand years, shouting: "Elemental Lord, you damned demon, do you dare to Appeared and fight me!"

As he roared, a God‑King‑level aura burst forth; a strong wind spread in all directions, forcing the players to retreat, only Xiao Feng and a few others able to remain steady.

This was still with Aqius having no killing intent toward the players; otherwise, ordinary players nearby would have been directly crushed to death by this aura.

At this moment, Aqius's aura affected not only the surrounding players but also the master gods of the various divine kingdoms far away, who all sensed it.

The Lord of the Soul Kingdom sat in the hall, attending court.

Feeling the suddenly appearing overbearing aura, he rose abruptly: "He has succeeded!"

"Your Majesty, what happened?" the ministers below asked.

Lord Mo did not explain, but issued an order: "Immediately send people to the Ice Divine Kingdom to inquire about the situation and see what the adventurers are doing."

At the same moment, other lords were also deeply shaken, as if hearing the news of the king's return, feeling their thrones might not stay stable.

The nearest Ice Kingdom lord reacted most strongly; upon discovering the divine king's aura at the border, he turned pale with fright and hastily sent people to scout the border.

Xiao Feng and the others had already buffed up and prepared for battle.

But the Elemental Lord did not appear.

Aqius roared again: "Elemental Lord, you cowardly weak ancient god, you don't even dare to face me! Come out! Stop hiding—I know you're there!"

"Your kin have been slaughtered by the strong of all races, leaving only you. The battle from a hundred thousand years ago is not over; if we continue today, I will surely make you vanish forever."

"Come out, you can't escape! The ancient god clan is destined to become a fleeting bubble in the river of time!"

After deciding to help Xiao Feng, he had already adopted a 'break the pot' mindset—since he was going to die anyway, he might as well vent the anger and resentment that had built up in his heart for years.

The players, unaware of the backstory, stared bewildered at the head‑raising, roaring giant serpent, clutching their skills, afraid to unleash them randomly.

Just then, a low, deep voice sounded!

"You…… are afraid……"

"Poor God King……"

"Fear makes you shout, your soul trembling……"

"Life, so beautiful……"

"You, about to perish……"

No one knew where this voice came from; it had no source.

But each of its words struck like a heavy hammer, pounding on everyone's hearts.

"Ugh, I feel so awful……"

Dun Dun clutched his chest, his face turning pale.

Xiao Feng supported her, but he himself was not feeling well either.

"Quick, look at the status bar!"

Li Li exclaimed in shock.

Everyone looked, and instantly gasped in shock.

Each person's body showed a debuff mark.

"【Whisper of the Ancient God】": You have heard the ancient god's whisper, full of fear, all attributes reduced by 50%, lasting 99,999 seconds.

"Holy shit, this is way scarier than the Lord of the Earth!" Xiao Feng's face went black.

All attributes reduced by 50%, directly cutting his attack power by several billion; even after drawing his sword he would be weak and feeble.

But there is also good news: as the debuff appeared, he entered combat, his clones could be summoned, and the Po‑Moon Immortal Sword began to stack the Endure buff.

"Come out, come out! Come out!!!"

Aquis's massive body writhed and rolled in the Xing Kong.

The Ancient God was not mistaken; he was terrified, utterly terrified.

A lifespan of tens of thousands of years is about to end; facing the Ancient God, the strongest in the history of this Yuan Su Shen Yu, who would not be afraid?

Even the First Dragon Emperor was frightened enough to flee with his clan; a mere Aquis is not even fit to be a clown!

"The countdown of life has begun...."

"Giant Snake Aquis, become the food of the Great Ancient God, Lord of Elements...."

"History will remember; your true name is written in the ancient books...."

"Offer everything you have, and the King of Ancient Gods will accept your loyalty...."

"Stop struggling. Death is not frightening; your power can coexist with mine...."

The Ancient God continues to whisper, speaking very slowly, but no one can interrupt him.

"No, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die...."

Aquis's soul suffered severe erosion; the players' attribute-lowering debuff is merely the aftermath of the Ancient God's whisper.

What he endured is the full version of the mental attack; his mind is on the verge of collapse.

Every whisper of the Lord of Elements erodes his soul, making him involuntarily want to prostrate himself and offer up his life.

But he is unwilling!

Tens of thousands of years!

A lifespan of tens of thousands of years—how could it be so pointlessly offered to the utterly evil Ancient God!

"Ahhh!"

Aquis roared, opened his maw, and spewed out a dazzling beam of light.

The beam of light pierced hundreds of kilometers of the Xing Kong, instantly killing a player on the Xian Shang.

"Struggling is futile...."

"Give up, sleep, sacrifice...."

"Your downfall will herald the return of the King of Ancient Gods...."

"The great Lord of Elements will remember you, my most loyal servant Aquis...."

The omnipresent voice continues to echo; Aquis is already on the verge of madness.

"Aquis, wake up!"

Xiao Feng saw that the King of Ancient Gods had not yet Appeared, but instead Aquis looked on the verge of mental collapse, and he too became anxious.

He flashed forward to the giant snake's head, Luck turn All Beings Dao's power, and unleashed a divine strike at Aquis.

A massive amount of life force was injected into the giant snake's body, a surge of vitality arose, slightly dispelling the deathly shadow brought by the Ancient God.

"Xiao Feng Warrior, kill me, quickly kill me!"

"The awakened Aquis let out a painful howl, his soul deranged by the Ancient God's whisper."
