Within the rift,
Wang Luo's eyes snapped open. His powerful mental energy sensed a formidable presence descending.
"Is it that newly ascended God?"
"But he's only just reached Godhood, and he's already eager to attack our base?"
"I originally planned to ascend to Three Tribulations God in one go, but I'm just a little short on divine substance. It seems I'll have to ascend now, otherwise, the base might not be safe!"
He was unsure if his Azure Dragon body, at the Demigod stage, could withstand a God's attack. For safety's sake, he decided to ascend to Godhood first.
He then inhaled a large mouthful of divine substance.
Marshal Lizard strode forward, hands clasped behind his back, walking through the air towards the base.
Finally,
The dazzling divine radiance emanating from him spread all around, drawing the attention of the Awakeners who were absorbing divine substance.
"Disaster, a God has arrived at our base!"
Yuan Ye and the other two's faces changed instantly.
How could this damned God have come so quickly?
Zhao Qingxuan and the others also stopped. The moment they saw the God, their bodies stiffened.
As the emerald divine radiance shone upon them, everyone felt as if they were trapped in a swamp, even feeling an urge to surrender and prostrate themselves.
This was the effect of the divine radiance.
"It's you?"
Zhao Qingxuan recognized the lizardman. Wasn't this the Divine Son that Wang Luo had repelled before?
"Oh? You recognized me so quickly? That's right, it's me. How is it? Surprised?"
"Didn't expect me to reach Godhood so soon, did you?"
Marshal Lizard's grotesque mouth curved into a cold sneer.
Mucus dripped continuously from his mouth onto the ground, making a sizzling sound.
"A defeated dog dares to come to our base? Seeking death?"
Yang Shu said coldly.
Knowing that this calamity, with the descent of a God, was likely unavoidable, she decided to go all out.
"Little woman, your words are quite sharp. You're very good, and you fit this God's aesthetic perfectly. I've decided, you will serve me tonight!"
"I will let you experience the might of our Giant Lizard tribe. Don't worry, after tasting it, you'll be reluctant to leave, heh heh heh~~~"
Yang Shu was furious,
She swung her sword, unleashing a pure white sword light.
Bang!
But suffocatingly, the sword light, unleashed by a Divine Artifact, was crushed by his outstretched hand!
"Hm? Is that a Divine Artifact?"
Marshal Lizard's eyes lit up. "There's a Divine Artifact here?"
"Hahaha, excellent, human woman, you truly are fated with this God. I shall take both you and the Divine Artifact. Don't worry, in the future, on account of the Divine Artifact, this God will cherish you!" This was truly an unexpected delight!
Even in the Underworld, their Giant Lizard tribe didn't possess Divine Artifacts!
If they could bring this back, their Giant Lizard tribe would have a foothold, even while being subservient to other races.
But at this moment,
Yang Shu instantly used her evasive technique, 'Swift Light Flash,' and fled into the distance with the Sword of Light.
"Shu Shu!"
Zhao Qingxuan cried out.
She knew Yang Shu's intention: to use the Divine Artifact as bait to attract the opponent's attention, drawing him away from the base to buy them time.
But this would put Yang Shu in a dangerous situation, especially since her opponent was a God!
"Your speed is quite fast, but unfortunately, you underestimate Gods!"
"Divine Might!"
Hum!
A vast mental pressure swept over, directly engulfing Yang Shu.
His divine might was directed solely at Yang Shu, as he wanted all humans to see the difference between themselves and Gods.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring?
Yang Shu, who had just used 'Swift Light Flash,' suddenly stumbled and stopped, falling to the ground.
Even with the protection of a Divine Artifact,
It could not withstand the pressure of a true God!
"A mere Demigod, do you really think you can escape my grasp?"
Marshal Lizard roared,
His large hand extended, transforming into a sky-covering palm that reached for Yang Shu.
Yang Shu gritted her teeth. She had thought she could buy some time for others, but it seemed nothing had changed.
Clutching the Sword of Light, she was prepared to die. Rather than fall into the hands of a lizardman, she would end her own life!
However, just as the giant palm was about to grab her,
A brilliant lightning bolt erupted from the mist rift. The ground then cracked, Marshal Lizard's sky-covering palm was violently swept aside, and a pillar of purple lightning shot up from beneath the earth, connecting heaven and earth!
The lightning pillar was immense, with a diameter of about nine meters.
"Is this... someone has ascended to Godhood?"
Marshal Lizard's eyes widened.
What a coincidence! Ascending to Godhood at this critical juncture?
That pillar of purple lightning was clearly a phenomenon of ascension!
"Who is it?"
Everyone was surprised.
Because the figure within was shrouded by the lightning pillar, they could not see what was happening inside.
"Wang Luo, it must be Wang Luo!"
Yang Shu and Zhao Qingxuan said with certainty.
"It is indeed me!"
Wang Luo's voice came from within the purple lightning pillar.
"I'm truly sorry, Shu Shu, for making you worry. I will use his blood to heal the wounds in your heart!"
"Thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise I would have really taken my own life!"
Yang Shu gave a wry smile.
In that moment, she truly believed she was going to die.
Wang Luo stood within the lightning pillar, gazing up at the sky, where shadowy figures resembling Gods were flying, and scenes of eternal worship appeared.
"Is this the phenomenon of ascension? It certainly has gravitas!"
But then he felt streams of divine energy flowing into his body from the immense lightning pillar.
"I thought it was just for show, but it has this ability too!"
It was somewhat like cleansing his body,
Similar to the feeling when absorbing divine substance, but more pronounced and profound.
Marshal Lizard's expression turned grim.
He had already realized that this newly ascended God was also an SSS-class Awakener, and the figure was unforgettable—wasn't this the one who had driven him back to the Underworld?
"Damn it, it's him?"
If that person could crush him back then, he might still be able to crush him after ascending to Godhood.
How could he get his revenge then?
"Come here!"
Suddenly, he violently waved his hand, reaching for Yang Shu.
Even if he couldn't conquer the entire human base, he would capture the Divine Artifact and the woman.
Moreover, from their conversation just now,
He could tell their relationship was absolutely unusual. If he held this woman hostage, he was sure he could retreat safely.
Of course, his most prized possession was the Divine Artifact.
However, just as he was about to make his move, a purple lightning chain suddenly emerged from the lightning pillar, wrapping around his arm and rendering him immobile.
"What do you think you're doing? Just watch obediently!"
Wang Luo said coldly.
Marshal Lizard struggled with all his might but could not break free from the restraint of the lightning chain.
"How is this possible? How can I not even break one of your special abilities?"
Marshal Lizard roared,
His divine power surged within him.
He refused to believe that the gap between him and the other party was so vast!
