Chapter 1597: Lathander's Fury

Inside the Divine Kingdom of the Xieyangzhishen, as the Xieyangzhishen fell, the Divine Kingdom was gradually collapsing.

Countless petitioners let out terrified screams, occasionally interspersed with weeping over the fall of the Xieyangzhishen; if no deity saved them, they would be buried along with the Divine Kingdom.

On a high mountain, Li Zhangsheng was staring at two Divine Spirit Avatars of the Lord of Morning Lathander.

These two Divine Spirit Avatars, one holding a hammer and the other a Scepter, were equivalent in strength to a deity with Mid-level Divine Power.

Of course, without the amplification of the Divine Kingdom's rules on himself and the weakening of his opponents, Li Zhangsheng was fully confident in dealing with Lathander's two Divine Spirit Avatars; this was also the main reason he did not finish off the Sun God in a few moves.

Judging from their performance, Lathander's two Divine Spirit Avatars were roughly equivalent to Mythical Quality Ancestral Phoenix and Zhulong; their disadvantage was that Divine Power avatars were relatively fragile and not as sturdy as the main body, while their advantage was a deeper understanding of the rules.

"So it was you!"

The Lathander Divine Power avatar holding the Scepter recognized Li Zhangsheng; he expressed a deep impression regarding Li Zhangsheng's act of coveting the Seraph bloodline.

Li Zhangsheng did not answer; after a brief standoff, he struck first.

Baitian, Heiye, and Aixi charged straight toward the Lathander Divine Power avatar holding the hammer; they mainly focused on containment, and with their strength and speed, containment was no problem at all.

As for the remaining few Emperor Rank Demon Pets, they joined Li Zhangsheng in besieging the avatar holding the Scepter.

Lathander's two avatars did not know Li Zhangsheng's specific strength; they intended to test Li Zhangsheng's methods while being very confident in their own strength.

Chirp— Roar—

The Ancestral Phoenix and Zhulong charged up first, besieging the Divine Power avatar holding the Scepter from both sides.

The Divine Power avatar looked solemn; the Scepter transformed into two phantoms, colliding with the Ancestral Phoenix's Bird Beak and Zhulong's Dragon Claw in an instant.

Under the powerful force, the Divine Power avatar retreated a short distance but suffered no damage.

Suddenly, a burst of thunderous sound rang out; Adai's massive figure charged in front of the Divine Power avatar with astonishing explosive power, using Seven-Minded Control to strike from all directions with seven sharp claws.

The Divine Power avatar's expression grew even more solemn; this time, he chose to avoid the Keen Edge, and a strong radiance of Divine Power flashed, allowing him to instantly retreat out of the range of Adai's claw strikes with ghostly speed.

At this moment, Kailan held a hundred-meter-long Dark Green Light Sword and delivered a slash.

Boom— Crack!

The Divine Power avatar hurriedly brandished the Scepter to collide with the Dark Green Light Sword; the two held a brief stalemate before the Dark Green Light Sword could not withstand the impact and shattered with a bang.

Suddenly, Yinglong appeared silently behind the Divine Power avatar and bit down fiercely.

The Divine Power avatar hurriedly projected a Divine Power barrier; although Yinglong's bite force was strong, it could not shatter the Divine Power barrier in an instant.

Just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng sent out his three avatars.

One was dressed in Heavenly Emperor attire, one in human emperor attire, and one in Fengdu Dadi attire.

Just like with the Heavenly Pillar, Li Zhangsheng had specifically sent out the three avatars.

Among them, the Heavenly Emperor held the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda in his left hand, the River Map and Luo Scroll in his right, and had the Immortal-Slaying Gourd hanging from his waist.

The human emperor held the Demon Refining Pot in his left hand, the Heavenly Pillar in his right, and had the Nurturing Gourd hanging from his waist.

The Fengdu Dadi held the Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords and had the Chaos Gourd hanging from his waist.

While the Demon Pets entangled the two Divine Power avatars, Li Zhangsheng released the Four Swords of God-Slaying and the Sword Array Diagram; the four areas formed instantly, setting up the God-Slaying Sword Array.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng and the three avatars each appeared beneath one of the precious swords; as the four of them pinched incantations, the sword Qi of the God-Slaying Sword Array surged, and its intensity clearly rose by a notch.

Not only that, but the space also became much more solidified.

Harassed by the sword Qi, Lathander's two Divine Power avatars were clearly restricted and completely suppressed by the Demon Pets.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng seized a gap, pulled the Moke Dragon-Hunting Bow, and the Dragon-Hunting Arrow transformed into an Ancestral Dragon Phantom, forcefully crashing toward the Divine Power avatar holding the Scepter.

By the time the Divine Power avatar reacted, the best opportunity to dodge had been lost; the Dragon-Hunting Arrow pierced through space and appeared abruptly in front of him.

The Divine Power avatar's reaction was not slow; he used the Scepter in his hand to resist the Dragon-Hunting Arrow with the fastest speed.

But it was ultimately too rushed, and the power was not concentrated enough; in the end, the Dragon-Hunting Arrow knocked the Scepter aside, and he only had time to avoid his vitals before his shoulder was struck by the Dragon-Hunting Arrow, nearly being pierced through directly.

The Demon Pets naturally did not let this opportunity pass, fiercely intensifying their offensive and continuously worsening the Divine Power avatar's injuries.

During this process, Li Zhangsheng pulled the Moke Dragon-Hunting Bow to a full moon state again, but kept it drawn without firing, locking onto the Divine Power avatar holding the Scepter.

Having suffered from the Dragon-Hunting Arrow, the Divine Power avatar holding the Scepter had to divert part of his attention, but he never had the chance to pull the Dragon-Hunting Arrow out of his shoulder.

Thus, this Divine Power avatar met a tragic end.

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Power avatar besieged by the Demon Pets found another flaw.

Li Zhangsheng seized the opportunity, utilized the special effect of the Dragon-Hunting Arrow to instantly appear in front of the Divine Power avatar, released the bowstring of the Moke Dragon-Hunting Bow, and shot an arrow directly into the Divine Power avatar's head at close range.

Boom-pop—

The Divine Power avatar had no time to react; his head was instantly blown apart by the Dragon-Hunting Arrow.

Li Zhangsheng was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing the core that wanted to turn into a stream of light, and instantly sealed it away.

With one Divine Power avatar gone, the Divine Power avatar holding the hammer naturally faced greatly increased pressure; unable to fight alone, he soon followed in his footsteps, and his core was also sealed and taken away by Li Zhangsheng.

All in all, it only took one minute to resolve the two Divine Power avatars.

After confirming there were no omissions, Li Zhangsheng quickly left the Xieyangzhishen's Divine Kingdom, which was about to collapse, shook the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, and returned to the Fairy World.

Not long after, more than a dozen streams of light appeared in the Xieyangzhishen's Divine Kingdom; besides several of Lathander's avatars, there were also avatars of other deities.

From beginning to end, including Lathander, their main bodies had never left their Divine Kingdoms.

The expressions of Lathander's several avatars were very ugly; the loss of the two avatars was secondary, but more importantly, it was the fall of five members of the pantheon.

As long as some time and Divine Power were spent, avatars could always be recreated, but it was very difficult to fill the gap of five pantheon members in a short time; the key was that these five deities were the backbone or even high-level combat power of the Light Pantheon.

The key was that after this incident, the Light Pantheon's appeal to wild deities was greatly reduced; at least until the culprit was resolved, wild deities would basically choose to protect themselves and mainly wait and see.

Although Li Zhangsheng had cleaned up the traces, the death of the two avatars still allowed Lathander to obtain certain memory fragments from the avatars, which also allowed Lathander to lock onto the culprit.

However, Lathander was helpless; unless Li Zhangsheng did not leave the Fairy World, he could not do anything to the other party, and even if he led the pantheon members to invade the Fairy World, he feared he would not be able to achieve his goal and might even lose his entire army.

While Lathander was in a fit of impotent rage, Li Zhangsheng had already returned to the Fairy World to count his gains.
