Chapter 611: Erosion 4

Li Chengyi’s figure flickered at breakneck speed, appearing behind the Red God with another blade fortified by the Flower Language Fortress.

"Lipid Praise." The Red God, finally not daring to be careless, unfolded a red light in both palms that exploded and enveloped everything around him.

He was a deity who once stood toe-to-toe with the White God but ultimately failed in the divine war.

In fact, outside, he had another true divine name.

——Black God.

Meaning, the God of Darkness.

The supreme deity of the Dark Religion, Main God of the Divine System, the pinnacle within the mighty divine power!

Black God Nabatus.

The blinding red light exploded at the speed of light, and Li Chengyi, unable to dodge, was instantly enveloped by it.

An infinite amount of blood and grease seeped out of nowhere from the light, swiftly infiltrating through the gaps in Li Chengyi’s armor.

The powerful corrosive force made even the Floral Dress, at its current strength, emit a creaking sound as if bearing an unbearable burden.

"Truly powerful..." Li Chengyi gave up on defense altogether, wielding his sword with both hands and positioning it at his waist.

He activated his rarely used Flower Language Ability.

’Destiny...’

His eyes shone with a sharp purple light.

The Golden Sword in his hand blazed with a terrifying golden flame, like the sun.

A series of vibrations affecting some unknown dimension spread from him in an instant.

The Red God sensed something amiss, and immediately a red cross burst forth from his brow, magnified and transformed into a cross-shaped colossal blade.

’Darkness is the primal force!!’

He recited in his mind, as the Red Artifact Keludo in his hand turned into a beam of light, overtaking others and crossing the distance at the speed of light to shine upon Li Chengyi.

But something bizarre happened.

The divine weapon’s attack, combined with powerful divine energy, and even though the Red God’s divine power was far from its peak, was still at the level of the Supreme Main God.

This strike contained the willful impact of countless faithful, mixed with the pure dark and bloody divine force.

And the physical impact of the top-tier divine weapon, forged from the strongest materials in the world.

Under the triple overlay, even space began to distort, showing numerous tiny, bubble-like traces.

However, as the beam of red light from the divine weapon approached Li Chengyi, in the blink of an eye.

It actually bent!!

All the red light, all the power, was gathered on the half-drawn Golden Longsword in Li Chengyi’s hand.

The longsword shattered instantly, turning into countless Gladiolus Petals that dissipated. Yet the energy of the red light remained blocked by an unseen blade in front of Li Chengyi.

The feeling was as if the beam from the divine weapon was destined to land on that Golden Sword.

"What is this.....!!?" The Red God, previously composed, finally showed a deep red light in his eyes.

"Such a level of destiny... the power of causality!!?"

The Red God, having dabbled a bit in the power of fate and causality, was aware of its weak scope.

It was something that could be touched upon only by relying on immense energy as a way to extend to its fringes.

But not like the man before him, who could use the power of fate and causality to such an extent!!

"Truly terrifying power..." Li Chengyi swiftly raised his sword, deflecting the red divine light, changing its direction, and blasting it toward the distant dark space.

The red light swiftly made a loop and then returned to the Red God, morphing back into the colossal red cross-shaped blade, Keludo.

"A stunning strike." The Red God calmed down, but his emotions were far from as settled as his appearance.

"Was that... a petal just now?"

He asked with a deep voice.

He had seen the anomaly when the Golden Sword collapsed.

As a once Supreme God, at the pinnacle of great divine power, his experience and knowledge naturally far surpassed all the other prisoners he encountered before.

"Does the Red God have any objections?" Li Chengyi once again conjured a new Golden Sword and spoke seemingly nonchalantly.

It was rare for an opponent to focus on the petals after his blade collapsed.

This made him wary.

The Red God did not reply immediately, but the red light in his eyes flickered rapidly as he fell silent.

He remained silent, so Li Chengyi also made no move, floating silently as he waited.

After what seemed like minutes.

The Red God spoke again.

"May I ask for your name, sir?"

"Bai Lu. What is it that you wish to say, Red God?" Li Chengyi replied indifferently.

The strength of his opponent far surpassed those deities he had encountered before, and from the brief instant of their encounter, Li Chengyi could tell that this Red God could kill swarms of gods as feeble as Randy with a wave of his hand.

The two were simply not of the same species, like a giant to an ant.

Such a powerful being was also imprisoned here, which made the waters of the Shadow Dragon Prison seem quite deep.

From their exchange of blows, even he, after using the Flower Language Technique and donning the Floral Dress, was briefly suppressed and fell into a disadvantageous position.

This meant that if they were to clash again, he would have to use the ultimate technique of the Thousand Face Sword Canon or even reveal his true form.

The gap in strength compared to the previous adversaries was like a leap across rifts.

He even suspected that this Shadow Dragon Prison might have been created just to imprison the Red God before him.

"Bai Lu, sir, you must not be native to our Mosha soil, are you?" the Red God spoke softly.

"It’s easy to see that," Li Chengyi neither confirmed nor denied.

"You entered here, intending to capture these prisoners for your own use, did you not?" the Red God asked again.

"...You’re quite astute," Li Chengyi’s side began to emit faint wisps of white vapor.

That was a sign he was preparing to use his true form.

Once his true form unfolded, it would allow his strength, defense, and regenerative abilities to be fully realized.

The ensuing power would be at least several times greater than it was now.

Not to mention, the immense size of his true body alone, with the Giant Strength of his slashes, was far beyond what could be compared to his common state.

After all, his true body was still in the complete half-human, half-deer form.

Even he was not sure how much immense strength he could exert once his true form was revealed.

"Do you want to make a bet?" the Red God continued.

He hadn’t experienced such intense emotional fluctuations in a long time. He remembered the last time, when he was severely drained after rescuing the worlds and was subsequently backstabbed by a deity, leading to the destruction of the Dark Religion and his imprisonment.

"What’s the bet?" Li Chengyi was intrigued, wondering what trick the other party had up their sleeve.

"If you and I fight with all our might and you win, I will willingly serve you. If I win, you will join my divine system and become one of my serving gods," the Red God said indifferently.

"What do you say, do you dare?"

His true strength, of course, was not limited to this human form. As the former Dark Master, a being comparable to the Supreme Main God of the White God, his true body was not of the human race but an Ethereal Shark born in the Black Sea.

The Ethereal Shark was a top-tier species far more powerful than the Rainbow Dragon, innately capable of dominating all the dark forces.

Like shadows, desolation, and death energy were all natural powers within their control.

This race was born with three imprints and, as they grew, would gradually gain nine opportunities for transformation.

With each transformation, they would obtain an imprint and sublimate themselves.

By adulthood, they would be innate wielders of twelve marks.

Such power could easily crush the likes of the Shadow Dragon King.

To be precise, the Ethereal Shark’s menu included the name of the Shadow Dragon King, and as for the common Shadow Dragons, they weren’t even worth eating.

Li Chengyi was quite pleased with the Red God’s proposal.

The power of his opponent far exceeded his expectations. If he could successfully subjugate him and willingly take him under his command, then the gains of this journey would be immense.

After a brief clash, Li Chengyi had felt that this Red God possessed at least the strength equivalent to the joint forces of all the True Fire experts from the four major schools.

Although still far from matching his peak state when wearing the Divine Flower Gourmet, such power was indeed sufficient to sweep across the entire Mosha.

According to the levels described in the Yin Canon: Ethereal Fire, Fire Essence, Qi Fire, and Divine Fire.

This fellow before him likely could only be contended with at the Divine Fire Level.

"A deal is a deal!" Li Chengyi responded firmly.

Paine’s fluctuations were nearby; he had to first deal with the trouble at hand so he could seek out the others without distraction.

"Very well... then... come on!" With a slight smile, the Red God spoke, and as his words fell, his body rapidly expanded and exploded into countless clouds of dark smoke that enveloped the surroundings.

Simultaneously, Li Chengyi blinked to a location hundreds of kilometers away, also surrounded by white smoke that exploded and formed a huge white sphere that slowly rotated.

One black and one white, two clouds of smoke each enveloped their respective figures.

Both instantly understood that the other was now seriously engaged.

Roar!!!!

Suddenly from within the black fog, a translucent figure of a colossal one-horned shark burst forth as if leaping from the sea and forcefully plunging into it, vanishing instantly into the darkness.

When it reappeared, the huge shark’s body shimmered with red fluorescent patterns and appeared above Li Chengyi, bearing down heavily.

The shark’s hulking body was hundreds of kilometers long and tens of kilometers wide, with scales standing on edge like blades and streaks of blood-red fluorescence extending from head to tail.

Its head was covered with countless bloodshot eyes, and the mouth, which nearly occupied half of its face, was rimmed with spiraling rows of black and red serrated teeth.

The teeth shimmered with a powerful red light, identical to that of the previously mentioned Red Artifact Keludo.

Then it bit down, unleashing tri-fold impacts of consciousness power, divine energy, and physics like tidal waves crashing fiercely.

Clang!!

In an instant, a massive ashen trident thrust out from the white smoke below, striking the giant shark’s jaw forcefully.

Half an hour later.

Inside the office.

A slight crack in the Shadow Dragon Prison suddenly widened, stretched, and two streams of light, one black and one white, flew out.

The black light landed, transforming into an elderly man with white hair—the form of the Red God.

The white light flew into the meditating Li Chengyi.

He had entered as his Primordial Spirit, not in his true body.

The Red God looked around, his eyes filled with an unspeakable sense of sentiment, nostalgia, and longing.

Soon, his gaze sharpened as he noticed the meditating Li Chengyi.

"As per our agreement, I’ve lost." His expression was calm, showing no discomfort about becoming a subordinate.

"This place is equipped with death energy formations. Red God, according to our agreement, from now on, you will join The Garden and become one of my generals," said Li Chengyi, unperturbed.

He had indeed won, but only by a narrow margin.

After employing the Flower Language Technique and causing wounds that the Red God couldn’t heal, the Red God saw the outcome and conceded defeat.

But Li Chengyi could clearly sense that the other party still harbored tremendous power that wasn’t unleashed.

Apparently, the Red God had a stronger hand he hadn’t played yet.

Did he just easily concede defeat?

This made Li Chengyi suspicious of his true motives.

Although he also had the Divine Flower Gourmet that he hadn’t used and wasn’t afraid of the opponent’s hidden card,

But... there was a strange feeling.

"So from now on, you will be my Main God," the Red God said simply.

"Can you tell me why?"

Li Chengyi finally asked.

"If I’m not mistaken, you must be related to the Evil Soil from the past, right?" With a calm statement from the Red God, Li Chengyi’s heart jolted.

"You know of Primordial Soil?!" His expression tightened, the aura belonging to the Divine Flower Gourmet faintly gathering around him.

Ancient, evil, and terrifying shadows began to seep rapidly through the cracks that had suddenly appeared behind him.

The Red God’s expression shifted slightly, and he quickly stepped back.

"Please, Main God, control your power. I mean no harm! Have you met Thousand Leaves? I am also a member of the Thousand Leaves Army! I once belonged to the Primordial King City of Evil Soil!"

"After the new Emperor of Flowers died without the ability to regenerate, we could only hide from pursuit, concealing our names and powers."

At this point, the dark aura from Li Chengyi had completely enveloped the office.

He stared at the Red God before him, his mind racing with thoughts.

"What are you hiding from? Or rather, who is your enemy? Who destroyed the Guilty Crown back in the day!?"
