Chapter 137: Slaying the Gods! (Part One)

Watching the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor casually flick a stream of purple energy, Kobei’s mouth curved upward slightly. With a thought, the golden liquid within his dantian instantly surged into a boil. His profound internal energy rushed straight to the center of his brow, causing the tiny golden pagoda to vibrate slightly, and a wisp of eerie purple flame abruptly emerged.

Having suffered quite a bit the last time that purple energy invaded his body, Kobei was much more cautious this time. The very second he saw the purple energy, he released the Netherworld Purple Fire.

Boom!

The purple energy pillar shot from the lower-tier divine monarch's palm violently slammed into Kobei. The moment it made contact, the energy pillar suddenly exploded, transforming into a storm of purple rain that frantically drilled into Kobei’s body.

Kobei stood as firm as Mount Tai, his legs like pillars. The impact brought by the purple energy pillar could not shake him even a fraction of an inch! With a faint smile on his face, watching the purple energy invade his body, Kobei flicked a thought. The Netherworld Purple Fire, which had been lying dormant within him for a long time, instantly moved, obliterating all the invading purple energy into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

One second, two seconds... ten seconds passed. Kobei still wore a faint smile, standing with his arms crossed over his chest, looking completely at ease without the slightest trace of pain.

"How can this be?"

The lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor wore an expression of incredulous shock. Two beams of tangible, piercing light shot from its purple eyes, locking onto Kobei with an unblinking stare.

A lower-tier divine monarch had absolute confidence in its divine power. Below the Realm of War Gods, absolutely no one should be able to withstand the divine power exclusive to the God Clan—power imbued with the attribute of devouring life force!

Even though it saw with its own eyes that Kobei had taken its full blow head-on and remained completely unharmed, the lower-tier divine monarch still refused to believe its own eyes!

How could a mere puny being at the Transcending Mortal Realm block divine power that carried the devouring attribute?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Human, stop putting up a stubborn front! Beg for mercy obediently and I'll grant you a quick death!" the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor roared, its voice tinged with an inexplicable panic as it stared at Kobei, who stood there nonchalantly.

"Damn it, I'm putting up a stubborn front in your dreams!"

Kobei rolled his eyes speechlessly, stamped his foot hard, and shot forward like a sharp arrow accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, instantly closing the distance to the lower-tier divine monarch.

Boom!

Carrying terrifying brute force and profound Nine-Yang Divine Skill internal energy, his fist slammed fiercely into the lower-tier divine monarch!

Before the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor could even react, Kobei's punch sent it flying backward. Even when flying through the air, a divine monarch's limit speed was only around twelve times the speed of sound, roughly on par with Kobei's limit speed. Now that Kobei had suddenly erupted with power, it simply didn't have time to react.

"Court death!"

The lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor roared in fury. It was utterly enraged—it had actually been sent flying head-on by a puny being at the Transcending Mortal Realm!

Boom!

A vicious glint flashed across the lower-tier divine monarch's eyes. With a fierce roar, its purple domain instantly expanded. The next moment, the purple domain enveloped Kobei. Having witnessed Kobei's strength, the lower-tier divine monarch did not let the domain spread out, instead concentrating all its energy to compress the domain down to a diameter of about ten meters.

"A domain?"

Feeling a sudden, heavy weight press down on his body, Kobei let out a cold smile. With his current strength, this level of pressure had virtually no impact on him. The divine monarch in purple battle armor was merely a lower-tier one; even the mid-tier divine monarch Kobei encountered when he first stepped out of the crystal palace couldn't do anything to him using domain pressure alone, let alone this lower-tier divine monarch.

Boom!

Just as the dense purple light points within the purple domain were about to pierce into Kobei's body, a wisp of eerie purple flame surged up from within him.

Hiss—the purple flames covering the surface of Kobei's body instantly incinerated those purple light points attempting to invade him into nothingness.

Boom!

Kobei wore a disdainful, cold smile as he clenched his fists tightly. The muscles all over his body instantly bulged, massive physical strength burst forth, and the Nine-Yang Divine Skill internal energy flooded his entire body simultaneously.

Protected externally by the Netherworld Purple Fire, and internally by profound Nine-Yang internal energy and terrifying brute force!

Facing a lower-tier divine monarch realm expert, Kobei truly had nothing to fear!

"Hmph, the Divine Monarch Realm? So this is the extent of your tricks!"

Kobei narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor with a cold smile. He stamped his foot fiercely, turning his body into a streak of purple lightning as he sprinted toward the lower-tier divine monarch. Wherever he passed, the purple light points pervading the air were instantly burned into nothingness by the Netherworld Purple Fire covering his body.

"Die!"

A deep roar squeezed out from between Kobei's teeth as his fist, shrouded in the Netherworld Purple Fire, smashed viciously toward the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor.

Seeing Kobei charging like lightning with mysterious purple flames covering his body, the pupils of the divine monarch in purple battle armor violently contracted, a flash of horror crossing its eyes.

"What a terrifying flame!"

The lower-tier divine monarch stared intently at the purple flames dancing across the surface of Kobei's body. It stomped its foot and retreated rapidly, while clenching both hands tightly as the purple light points within the domain rushed frantically toward Kobei.

Never before had this lower-tier divine monarch realm expert witnessed such terrifying purple flames. In its wildest dreams, it never expected that these purple flames could directly burn its divine power into nothingness!

Its mind and soul deeply shaken, an involuntary chill gripped the lower-tier divine monarch at the sight of Kobei's purple-fire-covered fist. Without time for further thought, it retreated madly; it did not dare to let those eerie, terrifying purple flames touch it!

The lower-tier divine monarch's limit speed was on par with Kobei's, but because this was within its own domain, Kobei's speed was suppressed by a fraction, while the divine monarch's speed was implicitly enhanced slightly. As a result, Kobei's fist—carrying terrifying power and coated in the Netherworld Purple Fire—failed to connect with the lower-tier divine monarch.

"Hmph!"

Although he missed the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor, Kobei's expression remained completely unchanged. He knew very well that if a divine monarch realm expert were that easy to hit, they wouldn't be divine monarch realm experts at all!

Boom!

The golden liquid in his dantian boiled violently, and waves of profound Nine-Yang Divine Skill internal energy surged into his legs. Utilizing the Spirit-Flitting Steps instantly, a clear afterimage remained in place while Kobei appeared right in front of the lower-tier divine monarch realm expert the next moment.

"The Proud Dragon Regrets!"

Looking at the lower-tier divine monarch realm expert at close range, Kobei let out a low roar and pushed his palms forward. Accompanied by a crisp, resonant dragon roar, a golden giant dragon howled out from between his palms.

"Oh no!"

The lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor trembled violently at the sight of the golden giant dragon roaring toward it. Such bizarre an attack was something it dared not block.

The purple flames from before were terrifying to the extreme, and this golden giant dragon looked even more ferocious. How could the divine monarch in purple battle armor dare to take it head-on? Disregarding Kobei, who had already reached its front, it panicked and scrambled back toward the left!

A cold smile surfaced at the corner of Kobei's mouth. Although the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms looked intimidating, when driven by the NineYang Divine Skill internal energy, it was simply not enough to threaten a divine monarch realm expert!

Kobei had never intended to use the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms to attack the lower-tier divine monarch; this move was merely a feint designed to draw its attention!

The true killing blow was the Netherworld Purple Fire quietly condensing in the palm of his hand!

"Die!"

With a savage grin on his face, Kobei slammed the Netherworld Purple Fire in his palm viciously onto the lower-tier divine monarch's back. Just as the lower-tier divine monarch dodged the golden giant dragon he had unleashed, Kobei had already shifted behind it. Facing the purple-flame-coated palm print, it was simply too late to dodge!

Boom!

Kobei's palm smashed brutally into the lower-tier divine monarch's back. The brilliant purple flame in his palm surged fiercely into the divine monarch's body!

"No!"

The lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor panicked, letting out a hysterical roar as it felt that eerie purple flame inside its body.

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

Boom!

Boom!

The lower-tier divine monarch's eyes bulged wide, bloody cracks splitting its eye sockets. With a distorted, ferocious expression and rage burning to the extreme, its body—composed of pure energy—channeled massive divine power frantically toward the eerie purple flame within.

Its divine power was immense, akin to an endless ocean, while that eerie purple flame was merely like a tiny spark within that sea.

Yet this tiny spark refused to extinguish when faced with the surging, overwhelming divine power. Any divine power that made contact with the purple flame was instantly transformed into nothingness!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A ruthless glint flashed across Kobei's eyes. With a slight shift of his feet, he instantly reappeared in front of the panic-stricken lower-tier divine monarch. Palm prints imbued with purple flames rained down crazily upon it, wisps of purple fire pouring into its body until they gradually merged into a blazing mass.

The divine power of the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor was annihilating faster and faster!

The Netherworld Purple Fire was, after all, the terrifying entity known as the God-Slaying Flame!

How could a mere lower-tier divine monarch possibly resist it?

Once invaded by the Netherworld Purple Fire, even a mid-tier divine monarch would find it difficult to cope!

"Ah, no!"

"No!"

The lower-tier divine monarch roared madly. It could feel its divine power dwindling rapidly, and before long, it would be entirely burned into nothingness by the purple flames!

A divine monarch realm expert's body was formed entirely of pure divine power; once its divine power was completely incinerated, it meant utter and absolute death!

"Die! Die! Let's die together!"

Driven completely insane, the lower-tier divine monarch in purple battle armor let out a shrill roar as its boundless divine power exploded violently outward!

Boom, boom, boom!

The lower-tier divine monarch had chosen to self-detonate! The instantaneous eruption of the infinite divine power within its body possessed a terror beyond description!
