Chapter 4386

Izumi Saki: "!!! Eww, perverted Miss Xia Shizi."

Eri: "Indeed! Aki no Oka Shiho! You've completely ruined what little reputation literary creators still had."

Eri's face was filled with revulsion.

Miss Xia Shizi: "...... You two who draw hentai manga, what the hell are you talking about here?"

Aki no Oka Shiho rolled her eyes, expressing utter exasperation.

Are you any cleaner? And even setting that aside, you draw manga, she writes novels! There's still a huge difference between you two, isn't there? Sick Old Man: "......"

The Sick Old Man was currently hunting a host of Immortal Kings, merely diverting a sliver of his divine awareness to see what was being discussed in the Society, whether it might aid his current battle... Then he saw the subtle discussion inside the Society. The Sick Old Man paused for an instant; after a brief silence, his vital energy erupted fully, his quasi-Immortal Emperor-grade weapon revived further, its power growing even more... terrifying.

Another number of Immortal Kings were completely swallowed and forcibly refined to death.

Deep within the vast starry sky.

The Old Hou Jue laughed heartily, his eyes glowing with excitement.

Though his body was gradually evolving into something unseeable, his demeanor and movements remained clear and free of confusion.

"...... The Great God's Declaration!"

The Old Hou Jue chanted ancient incantations.

Long ago, the Old Hou Jue killed the Norse All-Father Odin and obtained the Eternal Spear: this divine authority... immediately coalesced into the form of the Eternal Spear, which the Old Hou Jue hurled with sudden force.

The terrifying spear pierced through time and space, suddenly impaling Li Dake's body.

It shattered his heart completely.

Li Dake's body froze; black blood seeped from his lips, strange dark tendrils spread deep within his wounds, restoring him to peak condition—but after massive use of demonic god power, Li Dake no longer had a human form.

"...... You madman! Don't you fear death at all?"

Li Dake uttered strange, indescribable words, his expression twisted with fury, "Fine! Since you're so insane, unafraid of death! Then I'll oblige you! I'll turn you into my divine clan."

Li Dake charged forward again.

He no longer cared for himself.

Because he could feel that before he relinquished his current Immortal Emperor realm, the Old Hou Jue would fall first.

The Old Hou Jue resisted more and more... desperately; just as he was about to fall completely, he suddenly laughed, his eyes blazing as he fixed them on Li Dake.

His words were calm, yet utterly certain: "By the way... aren't you also at your limit?"

The Old Hou Jue had naturally allocated some attention to the Society, so he had earlier seen Su Han's evaluation of Li Dake.

"Perhaps."

Li Dake's expression was blank; though he felt victory was now certain, he remained cautious until true triumph was achieved.

He said coldly, "But you will never see that moment."

Once you submit to me! I'll make you kill all your friends yourself... The world ultimately belongs to me."

"Are you sure?"

The Old Hou Jue regarded Li Dake with amusement, hesitated, then purchased and used a Kiss of the Angel.

In the next instant, pure white light enveloped the Old Hou Jue's body.

That... utterly bizarre ancient divine power was completely purged; the Old Hou Jue's state restored to its peak.

"...... What!"

Li Dake's expression changed drastically; deep in his eyes was horror, disbelief, and a barely perceptible fear: "What the hell are you?"

After a brief silence, Li Dake turned and fled without hesitation.

In prior clashes, he had fully experienced the Old Hou Jue's tenacity; even now, with superior strength, he could not crush him.

Even under system-enhanced conditions, this was true... If he dropped from this state, the outcome was obvious.

Though his heart burned with resentment, Li Dake knew he had no choice.

"Can you escape?"

The Old Hou Jue roared with laughter, activating the power of the Greek hero Heracles; his wolf-like body swelled further, muscles expanding.

He charged forward; each step he took carried annihilating energy, crushing entire star systems into fragments.

Inside the Society chat room.

Wei Bo: "Shivering."

"

Ti Qie Hui Li: "Was all of this within your expectations?"

Hei Qi Yihu: "Too terrifying... from start to finish, that transmigrator was toyed with by the Old Hou Jue the whole time..."

Gao Ban Tongnai: "Yes, the Old Hou Jue only threw out a bait, but the opponent didn't suspect a thing... swallowed it whole."

Gao Ban Tongnai shook her head, her expression deeply complex, unsure what to say.

Fourth Hokage: "This is actually quite normal."

Fourth Hokage: "We've been in the Society long enough... we've received many exceptional benefits."

But in reality, the stronger one is, the harder it is to get injured... yet conversely, once injured, recovery becomes exceedingly difficult."

Fourth Hokage: "Unless you're like the President, or the vampires in the Society! Who inherently possess immortality... otherwise, serious wounds take centuries or millennia to heal... Kiss of the Angel, Kiss of the Angel."

Bofengshui Sect sighed bitterly.

Ye Hei: "To be honest, that's true. In the original 'One Hand Covers the Sky,' I suffered a Dao injury, with no medicine available, and kept coughing up blood."

In the original text of One Hand Covers the Sky, I suffered a Dao injury and, with no medicine available, would occasionally cough up blood.
