The Taoist was pleased with his own scheming but he did not expect the girl to listen to his description with a face that was getting pale and haggard, and in the end, tears actually flowed from her eyes before slipping down her cheeks as she watched the human-headed snake monster that was continuously roaring and struggling while standing on the clouds.

At this time, she no longer had the energy to maintain her sitting posture. Her hands were making gestures relaxed as she slumped on the futon.

“Junior Niece, w-what’s wrong? Calm your mind down! You can’t make any mistake…” Upon seeing this, the old Taoist no longer cared about disrupting the girl’s state of mind as she was using the relic. Panic, he muttered some spells and cast more than ten spells to strengthen her state of mind but all of these efforts were rendered useless. In the end, he could only watch the girl passed out in front of him.

At that moment when the Taoist master of the Yingzhou paradise lost her consciousness, Zhang Lisheng who was shackled by the starlight chains and had now been forced into a desperate situation by many of the Taoists who were not afraid of death, suddenly felt that the shackles had become loose for no reason.

In shock, he instinctively struggled. Roaring loudly in “Ahhhh….” He no longer cared about defending against the attack from the Dao spells and relics of his enemy. Instead, he used his hands that were covered with dark red scales to grab the hole whose size was of a basketball in the sky not far away.

“Junior Brothers, Junior Sisters, something has happened to my disciple. I’m afraid this paradise formation will no longer be able to trap this witchcraft scoundrel. Looks like it’s time for me to die today…” Lu Tiandao could also sense the abnormality in the paradise. Chills ran down her spine as a determined look was formed on her face. She pointed out her index fingers who pointed and jammed them into the temple of her head.

At once, an exceptionally glaring thick green brilliance that sent chills down to the others shone upward from several millions of pores in her body and attacked without any extra efforts. The instant the green brilliance appeared, it sliced off a scale from the giant snake and revealed the red bloody flesh underneath it.

“Senior Sister, you don’t have to do this…” When a fat Taoist who was flying in the air saw Lu Tiandao unleashing her invincible might, he said in a trembling voice.

Before he could finish his words and among the surviving Taoists, a middle-aged man who was wearing a tattered casual outfit who still looked handsome at this moment in this fierce battle laughed out loud and said, “Senior Brother Song, if it’s not the time now, then when will it stop…”

Raising both of his index fingers, he also jabbed them into his temple and at once and a green light emitted from his entire body.

“Junior Brother Song, you’re making things difficult for me again, I was merely voicing out my deep regret for having one less human immortal in the future for our Gate of Dao, otherwise, with Senior Sister Lu’s innate talent and drive, even though she has used up her human immortal’s foundation, it would only delay her cultivation by ten years. But as for my life, even though I usually am timid, I still have the courage to sacrifice myself in taking out a demon!” The fat Taoist snarled angrily and used his index fingers to stab into the temples on his forehead as well. After green light erupted from his body, he suddenly retracted the anger on his face and said with a chuckle, “Ah I’m sated! I’m sated! Looks like burning my primordial spirit can actually increase my strength too. It’s worth it for me to die after having a taste of this happiness!”

The elegant middle-aged man retrieved his laughter and then solemnly looked at the calm appearance of his Senior Brother who had never once answered back despite being ridiculed by himself for several dozens of years beside him. Taking a deep bow, he said, “Senior Brother, you call yourself timid but in actual fact, you’re greatly magnanimous and now that I see your true color, I conceded from the bottom of my heart.”

“Haha, I can’t believe that I’d actually make you concede one day, Junior Brother Song,” The fat Taoist laughed out loud, “In that case, let us charge towards the gate of Hell together, shall we?”

“Suits me fine!” As the middle-aged man was tidying up his tattered collar, he smiled at the fat Taoist and both of them charged at that giant snake that had already torn the crack in the sky to a height taller than a man.

Just like this, streaks of green light emitted one by one, the Taoist masters who were in the Heavenly Gate Stage chose to erupt their primordial spirit and give up their lives. Using their death as the price, they hoped that they could kill their strong enemy.

A few minutes later, being surrounded by several dozens of green light that were both strong and weak, the human-headed snake demon in the cloud had its injury becoming more serious despite continuously being nourished by the white brilliance shining through from the hole that was getting larger in the sky.

The battle from the strong enemy finally completely provoked the brutality in Zhang Lisheng’s nature. His cautious mind completely faded away as he gave up in tearing the space through the world barrier to escape back to the Shrimp World No. 2. Roaring, he said, “I’m Zhang Lisheng who was born in a family of Father of thousands of years in the wilderness. I’ve also obtained the ancient witchcraft’s inheritance and why shall I cow in fear?! Since all of you are determined to die, then die! Die! Die!”

The young man howled angrily and smacked with his tail, ripped with his claw, hit with his head, and bit with his teeth. He inflicted injuries in exchange for his own injuries and fought with his entire life as he circled around the Gate of Dao’s people with all his might. That gush of inexplicable fierce aura that came from nowhere actually elicited fear from the Taoists who would inevitably die for having erupted their primordial spirit.

In the battle, the blood and flesh of the witchcraft god and the corpses of the Taoists flew everywhere across the sky, dying the white smoke-like clouds on Yingzhou’s sky to become red in color.

After a round of hard battle, Zhang Lisheng was already on the verge of death. Not only that, the only surviving person in the Gate of Dao was Lu Tiandao.

Her comrades from the same Gate had all died a terrible death. Her right arm had already been severed by the snake tail and there was a 30-centimeter long slash in front of her chest. Looking at the ancient witchcraft’s successor whose entire body was covered in fist-sized injuries, with his red meat and white tendons hanging out all tangled together, whose crown of his head already also been cracked open by half, she roared, “Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill witchcraft and protect Dao! I summon thee, Heaven Relation Sword…”

As she was speaking, she activated a secret method and consolidated the last primordial spirit power emitting from her entire body. Her body crushed to become a puddle of meat and bones to transform into a giant sword of a hundred meters long before slicing it towards Zhang Lisheng.

The sword-tip of the giant sword depicted a square stone city pool, while both sides of the sword blade were engraved with towering mountains. There was a sea-like pattern on the ridge of the sword and the sword ring resembled a round cloud while the sword handle was made from the shape of a man and a woman. It appeared to be old, simple and blunt.

However, when it flew to hack down towards the head of the young man who was powerless to dodge away and could only move his head aside to dodge; its sharpness actually sliced through half of his crown of the head and his skull, revealing a faintly pulsating brain.

At this time, if Lu Tiandao still had a trace of power remaining to brandish the sword, the enemy would inevitably die no matter how strong he was. Unfortunately, after he burned his primordial spirit and used her body and bones to launch the ultimately powerful sword, the trace of remnant soul left behind by her shocking will no longer have the power to cast another spell. There was nothing that she could do but to watch the giant sword disappear between the earth and sky in despair.

“If you had sliced through my brain, even if my divine power has the ability to repair all attributes, I’d still lose my consciousness and die but unfortunately, the Heaven is not by your side.” On the clouds, Zhang Lisheng, who was covered entirely in open wounds sensed the pain that seemed to be able to rip apart his soul from the heavy injuries throughout his body, felt a gush of pleasure in his heart. Looking at Lu Tiandao’s remnant soul phantom image, his voice gradually became louder as his roar resounded across the sky. “The Heaven is not by your side! Since the Heaven lets me escape this calamity today, it is to leave a misfortune for your Gate of Dao. I swear by the name of my Theonym, Wizard Li, I’ll destroy your inheritance, flatten your Mountain Gate and slaughter your roots! If I go against my oath, the heaven and earth will hate me forever!”

Accompanied by this roar and the tumultuous thunder flashing in the tumbling red clouds, a complicated expression of regret, hatred, and anger could be seen on the blurred face of Lu Tiandao’s remnant soul. In the end, with despair, she dissipated in the hurricane with distortion.

After annihilating all enemies and venting out all of his anger, Zhang Lisheng finally calmed down again.

He concentrated and contemplated for a moment. He intuitively felt that he could not stay in this place any longer but when he recalled the meaning behind being ambushed in the Fishing Mountain Village, he had no choice but to fly to the hole in the sky with a grave expression. Using his might bit by bit, he tore open the hole and risked his life by getting into it.

Just at that instant when the young man wiggled his body and flew into the crack in the space, he inadvertently glanced and saw several dozens of more figures suddenly appearing at the mountain beneath him. Then, he suddenly felt his vision turned black as he conflictingly felt an endless time thousands of years passed by silently, but at the same time felt like only several seconds too, before he finally regained his vision. At this time, he realized that he was already hovering above the Wizard Li’s ancestral ground.

At that instant when Zhang Lisheng returned to his place of faith, several hundreds of totem poles erected on more than 10 million square kilometers in the Hellfire Archipelago immediately lit up with fire of three colors: turbid red, earthy yellow, and blue.

The power of faith of 300 million believers that had been accumulated for many days was conveyed to the Wizard Li’s god by the burning of the stone pillars, breaking the last and final restrictions and prompting him to take the step of transforming from an ‘earth god’ to a true god.

Massive amounts of seawater, soil and countless living organisms inhabited the oceans and the islands began to produce a glimmer of evolutionary forces that were all mixed together to whirl around Zhang Lisheng to form a giant ball that firmly wrapped him in it.

As though being inside a round egg that was waiting to be hatched, Zhang Lisheng’s heavily injured body began to gradually heal and continue to lengthen and become bigger. The scales covered with the drawing of mountains and rivers; on the other hand, did not change at all.

In the end, the enlarged body burst out of his skin and the young man’s scales began to crack and open up from his spine, before gradually being shredded away.

At this time, when the natives who were busy working in the various tribe’s settlements saw the abnormality of the totem poles; they began to discard the work on their hands and kneeled right away, just to worship in the direction of the stone pillar.

The sound of the prayer and praises sounded very noisy but when all of them were collected together in the sky, it became extraordinarily beautiful.

In this ethereal song, a bald head suddenly struck with force and broke open the roundball made from a combination of water, soil, and evolutionary force.

Followed closely behind the head was the arms. Two dark red palms stretched out along the crack and forcefully held onto both sides of the ball continued to squirm upward. Not long after, half of his body began to show.

“This is the feeling that a true god has towards this world?” With his lower body in the round ball, Zhang Lisheng looked at the sun, jungle, ocean, and giant island, which had suddenly become vivid around him and muttered to himself.

The vague consciousness made him realize that everything would be different from before from now on. When all of the intelligent creatures living in the Shrimp World No. 2 mentioned his name once again, he would naturally sense it. His divine power had already shaken off the shackles of the totem poles and he could replenish his power of faith anywhere in this world. Not only that, he could even grant his believers six different levels of magic from weak to strong. If everything went smoothly, this would become the strongest weapon to fight against the Atlantean civilization.
