“Long-daren!”

“Long-daren!”

It wasn't until another Saint Adjudicator commander's voice rang out that Long Qi snapped out of his daze.

He had never seen such utter darkness!

The radiant vision of the Eye of Incandescence was occupied by countless shadows... Just how much misfortune, how much calamity, did one have to bear to attract such a phenomenon?

Bang bang bang!

The Saint Adjudicator Legion was ready for battle. Nearly a hundred transcendents drew their source energy weapons and opened fire on the ghoul before them.

In an instant, a barrage of bullets exploded in the air.

The moment the Saint Adjudicators drew their guns, Gu Shen strode forward. He wouldn't give them a chance to suppress him with firepower... A transcendent who had comprehended two complete great accomplishment domains could easily slaughter lower-level opponents, but it wasn't a guaranteed victory.

Modern, highly logical bullets could potentially penetrate domains.

As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant.

Hundreds of strands of incandescent fire detonated every bullet along the way. Gu Shen weaved through the explosions, aiming to capture the leader first. His primary targets were Long Qi and the other Saint Adjudicator commanders with considerable strength.

"Boom!"

In a flash.

Gu Shen arrived before a Saint Adjudicator commander.

The latter didn't even have time to react before Gu Shen struck him in the chest. The claw pierced through his torso, and with a gentle tug, all of his internal organs were pulled out. Gu Shen tore through him like a ball of cotton, then struck with his palm again, sending the Saint Adjudicator commander crashing into the crowd of gunners.

The firepower became chaotic.

The devoted members firing were clearly being directed by the spiritual link of this Saint Adjudicator commander.

With the commander's death, their rhythm was immediately disrupted.

Just as Gu Shen was rampaging like a wolf among sheep, ready to continue the slaughter—

The Seventh Elder of the Shrine reacted with speed.

After the Eye of Incandescence gave an extremely dangerous warning, Long Qi immediately realized what kind of opponent he was facing... However, Gu Shen was too fast. By the time Long Qi realized it, he had already killed the second Saint Adjudicator commander.

"Ghoul! Be punished!"

Long Qi roared and took out a palm-sized badge carved with a sunset landscape.

The badge was instantly filled with holy light, vibrating with the sound of wind and thunder!

Long Qi threw it out, and the palm-sized badge swelled in size as it absorbed the holy light from all directions—

Boom!

Spiritual manifestation technique!

A majestic small mountain descended upon Gu Shen!

Gu Shen glanced up, his expression unchanged. The small mountain, radiating countless dazzling lights, pressed down. With a casual wave, countless iron scales chimed, transforming into a rain of swords that surged upwards!

Under the command of the Iron Throne.

The iron scales transformed into an iron sword, soaring into the sky, directly stabbing at the mountain of light.

Using the sharpest sword to attack the most solid shield!

"Clang!"

The sword met the mountain, and an ear-piercing sound of shattering echoed... Long Qi's expression changed drastically. Light City of the West Continent was known as a place of miracles, where the Light Shrine had long resided. There was a "Mount Sunset Ruins," and whenever night fell upon the five continents, the last ray of light in the world would be absorbed by Mount Guixu. Over time, the entire mountain contained unparalleled transcendent power.

This transcendent badge, engraved with the scenery of Mount Guixu, was made by the Divine Seat extracting a wisp of radiance from Mount Guixu.

The Divine Seat gave it to every elder who entered the shrine.

This sealed artifact was a symbol of recognition from the Light!

At this moment!

The manifested Mount Guixu was cleaved apart by Gu Shen's sword. Not only was the iron sword not suppressed, but it penetrated upwards from below!

Mount Guixu exploded, and countless pieces of gravel shot in all directions...

The Saint Adjudicators were stunned.

The guarding mountain personally made by the Light Divine Seat was just shattered like that?

Because it was originally a condensation of light and spirit, the gravel that shattered and shot in all directions was only a virtual image—

Countless rays of light bloomed.

The iron sword pierced through the void and finally, truly, struck the small badge that had been thrown into the air!

Crack!

Not only did "Mount Guixu" shatter!

Even the badge that carried the radiance of Guixu was shattered!

Long Qi's eyes were about to burst. If he had felt fear when he first saw this vast darkness, now only rage remained!

His most important object had been shattered!

This was a loss that no follower of the Light could accept!

"I'll kill you!"

The Seventh Elder's eyes were practically spitting fire. He immediately sat down cross-legged, determined to engage in a deathmatch with Gu Shen!

Long Qi unfurled his spiritual domain. With a wave of his sleeve, three sandalwood incense sticks flew out, suspended in the air, and ignited without fire. Instantly, a plume of green smoke enveloped the area within a thousand meters.

Buzz!

Gu Shen's forward momentum slowed drastically, as if trapped in a quagmire.

But the gunfire from the Saint Adjudicators was unaffected!

Long Qi's first domain, Tan Tan (Sandalwood Altar), was a domain of group buffs, highly valued in the shrine. The Grand Elder personally sent these three incense sticks to enhance and expand the influence of his spiritual domain!

Gu Shen chuckled softly, narrowed his eyes, and watched this mystical scene with interest.

He didn't try to tear apart Tan Tan (Sandalwood Altar), but stopped, retracted his iron sword, and reassembled it into iron scales, surrounding his body. Countless rays of fire struck the Iron Throne bulwark, splashing brilliant sparks. The broken arcs of bullets also became extremely slow within the Tan Tan (Sandalwood Altar) domain.

Then.

Long Qi raised his arms, the Eye of Incandescence engraved on his forehead burned continuously, smoke swirling around it, and golden light enveloped his head.

A glow gathered, condensing into a divine form!

"Interesting, he's trying to summon a god."

Gu Shen remembered that during the Battle of Frozen Lake, the Li Clan's Shrine Barrier had a similar effect... When Li Qingsui cast it, the Shrine manifested a giant god, greatly amplifying the strength of the Longye Allied Forces.

The methods of this Shrine Elder were quite similar to those of the Li Clan, with different paths leading to the same destination.

On the outskirts of this Ice Sea Relic, authority could not be used.

Even if Apostles carrying emblems entered the relic, they couldn't initiate a divine descent... Long Qi's methods obviously couldn't summon the Light Divine Seat, but the power of light carried by these Saint Adjudicators was condensed in the domain. This was a method that only fanatical believers of the West Continent could cast.

Gathering the strength of a hundred people to ascend.

This kind of method could be considered summoning a god.

But in reality, what was being summoned was a "false god."

The power of a true god was far beyond what a hundred people could contend with by offering a wisp of their will. Even thousands or tens of thousands of people could not harm the seven gods who had fused with complete fireseeds.

A grand statue of light condensed on the snowfield.

Rays of light shot in all directions, transforming into a long sword.

The statue was hundreds of meters tall, slowly drawing its sword, piercing through the wind and snow. The power it released at this moment was truly like the Divine Seat descending, awe-inspiring.

This was Long Qi's second domain: Xiang Zhu (Incense Master).

He had grown up in the shrine since childhood and comprehended these two domains. After merging them, he advanced to become a titled one.

Both of these group buff domains didn't help his own combat strength much.

In terms of one-on-one combat strength, Long Qi was insignificant. Looking at the five continents, there probably wasn't a titled one he could defeat in a one-on-one fight.

But if he brought a group of Saint Adjudicators, it would be different!

The incense of faith from these Light City residents could gather and merge into his body.

The Xiang Zhu (Incense Master) manifested above his head looked like one person, but it was actually a hundred people!

At this time, he wouldn't be afraid of one-on-one combat!

……

……

Long Qi was weak.

Every titled one Gu Shen had ever seen was stronger than Long Qi.

But at this moment, Long Qi, with two domains amplifying him, exuded an aura that had surpassed several levels.

"Stronger than 'Cloud Tiger'..."

Gu Shen carefully looked at the giant divine form of light, and couldn't help but compare Long Qi to the previous Yun Hu.

With the Tian Yun (Sky Cloud) and Bao Hu (Raging Tiger) domains combined, Yun Hu, after his advancement, was not a weakling, even among titled ones.

Titled ones were also divided into ranks.

In these ranks, Yun Hu, who had just advanced, even if his strength didn't reach "six," it should be "five."

But Long Qi, after gathering the incense of faith from the entire Saint Adjudicator Legion, had reached the "seven" level.

"There's actually a titled one like you... who specializes in borrowing the power of others to fight."

Gu Shen looked at Long Qi after the god summoning and said with a smile: "The bizarre arts of Light City are truly eye-opening."

"Fiend."

Long Qi's face was stern, and he was radiating countless lights. He immediately raised a palm.

"Rumble..."

The towering figure also raised a palm.

"When the Shrine travels, darkness must be punished!"

Long Qi's voice vibrated in all directions, like thunder!

His palm swept through the void, and the towering divine statue manifested from light also made a sword-wiping gesture!

The sky roared.

The countless rays of light illuminated almost the entire ten-mile radius of the snowfield.

Although it was a false god.

It was bright enough to be dazzling and make people dare not look directly.

The believers closed their eyes one after another.

Only Gu Shen, with his hands behind his back, raised his head with a calm expression and looked at the Light Incense Master summoned by Long Qi...

He had come out of the Ice Sea and deliberately didn't return to the five continents, just to come to the relic to see what level the transcendents sent by Light City's Source Tower and the Storm Church had reached.

If he encountered some unfinished grudges from Sang Continent in the Ice Sea, he would settle them together.

More importantly.

He wanted to know what level his current strength had reached.

He wanted to know.

After enduring five years of withering in the Ice Sea.

Comprehending the fire of life, advancing while bearing the "three transcendent realms."

Holding the two top-level great accomplishment domains of the Incandescent Fire Pure Land, wielding "Creation and Destruction."

After killing the devil and erasing the dark consciousness of Truth...

Just how strong his current combat power could be.

Yun Hu... couldn't test it.

But the "false god" summoned by Long Qi might have a chance.

Gu Shen's voice echoed on the snowfield.

"Draw your sword."

These two words were like an order, even more like an urging.

Long Qi was stunned for a second, and his anger grew even greater upon hearing these arrogant words.

"Presumptuous! Be punished!"

The divine statue raised its sword and stabbed at the black dot on the snowfield!

The gale howled, and the ice and snow were melted by countless rays of light before they could even fly.

Under this towering light, Gu Shen's figure was very small, indeed like an ant.

Gu Shen still looked up, even though the light above his head was dazzling and the incandescent wind was drumming.

A moment later, immense pressure descended!

The snow on the ground under his feet cracked inch by inch, instantly blooming with layers of spider webs!

He didn't use Pure Land or Incandescent Fire, but resisted this terrifying pressure with his physical body—

The sword of light fell heavily!

This sword was so powerful that it seemed to want to cleave the entire snowfield apart!

Just in the last second.

Gu Shen's eyes burst out with a cold, dazzling light that was even more blinding than all the Saint Adjudicators combined.

On the broken ground of the snowfield.

The tiny ant on the snowfield, who had been completely crushed by the aura of the divine statue, drew a silver light with his backhand. The silver light instantly condensed into a large bow.

The bow was like a full moon.

Pointing the arrow at the sun!
