Chapter 1439: Chapter 1438: Let Her Go, and You Can Live

"What should we do, what should we do?" The Eight Great Clan Leaders and those deities who hadn’t been possessed were all pacing anxiously, not knowing what to do, because those who had been possessed were their closest kin. How could they bear to strike them down?

At this moment, a pillar of support was needed, someone to take command and make the decision—and that responsibility fell on Landyn Torres.

If he lacked the resolve, then the Eight Great Families would face a catastrophic defeat today and become the laughingstock of the Heavenly Realm.

"Kill them. Those who are possessed are doomed to die. Whether we act or not, these Ancient Gods will end up killing them anyway. So... kill!" The moment Landyn Torres uttered the word "kill," he acted once again. Without moving from his spot, he stomped fiercely on the ground, and the God Punch of Annihilation struck out.

With this punch, heaven and earth collapsed, spirits wailed, and wolves howled. Space crumbled, the world quaked.

As the punch was thrown, the young girl’s expression shifted, and she rapidly began deploying barrier restrictions with both hands.

With a deafening "Boom–," the God Punch of Annihilation slammed into the restriction, shattering it like fragile glass. The barrier crumbled instantly into ruins.

"Pfft–" The girl, parasitically inhabiting the body of a man from the Eight Great Families, took a direct blow to the chest, causing the man’s body to explode entirely.

Landyn Torres—unbelievably formidable.

Of course, though the man’s body had been destroyed, the girl wasn’t dead. Her soul escaped again, still searching for a new host!

"World Territory—Die for me!" Denton Schwartz unleashed the Qiankun Mirror’s light upon the fleeing soul, which immediately let out a piercing scream.

"Die! Die! Die!" Denton Schwartz’s excitement was palpable—this soul belonged to an Ancient God, and not just any, but the leader of them!

The "Buzz Buzz Buzz–" of the Qiankun Mirror, designed to target souls, caused trails of green smoke to rise as the girl’s soul gradually dissolved.

"I won’t die. I will return. I will return. This time, we’re just here to play early. Soon—very soon—our true forms will descend upon the Heavenly Continent. Then it will be your doom. Hahaha..."

With a sharp "Ssshh," her maniacal laughter ended abruptly as her soul disintegrated into wisps of green smoke.

Thus, one was slain.

"Next! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! They aren’t omnipotent. They can only exert thirty percent of their full strength, which makes them merely comparable to us!" Seeing Denton Schwartz’s Qiankun Mirror successfully exterminating the enemy soul, the other clan leaders followed suit, targeting the possessed individuals to begin their slaughter.

However, what happened next shocked the Eight Great Clan Leaders. Even armed with Innate Spiritual Treasures, they could barely fight the possessed individuals to a stalemate—and in some cases, they were even at a slight disadvantage.

Despite possessing these Spiritual Treasures, they were far from rivals to the parasitized beings. The clan leaders couldn’t even measure up to thirty percent of the power wielded by the Ancient Gods!

If even the eight clan leaders could only fight on even ground, then the other dignitary-level experts of their families stood no chance. Some of these dignitaries were instantly blown apart merely by approaching the enemy.

For a moment, the battlefield became a scene of carnage!

Only Landyn Torres was ferocious like a dragon, tearing through enemy defenses and obliterating their physical forms with every strike!

The destructive force behind his punches seemed to contain the eradication power of the Heavenly Dao itself!

But he was still just one man, with only two fists, while the enemy numbered over fifty. Killing them one by one was slow work, and some of the foes had already begun charging at the Sunset Formation, trying to escape.

Throughout the chaos, Denton Schwartz never left Landyn Torres’ side. While Torres could destroy bodies, he couldn’t eliminate the souls; Schwartz needed to strike swiftly with the Qiankun Mirror to finish them off and prevent them from possessing others again—a cycle that would cause even greater casualties.

"Not good! Some of them seem to understand formations—they’re all heading toward the formation’s core!" Just as Torres continued his sequence of attacks, some of the enemies began overtaking both male and female clan members, rushing toward a specific point of focus.

This focus was no less than the array core on Sunset Square. The enemies appeared deeply familiar with the array’s mechanisms, knowing that once the core was destroyed, the formation would lose all its power!

"Roar!" Landyn Torres roared furiously and charged toward the core.

"Hahaha, too late. Your Five Elements Sky Locking Array? It can’t hold us!" One man chuckled wickedly as he viciously struck the formation core with three consecutive palms, each engulfed in flame.

Each of his fiery blows ignited flames around the square, like surges of electricity traveling through the formation. The protective barrier was soon consumed by fire.

Then, under the burning blaze, the array let out crackling sounds before utterly collapsing in a thunderous crash.

"Run! Run! We’ve gotten enough for today..." The righteous and evil gods seemed elated, shooting skyward in waves.

"Leaving? Wishful thinking!" With sudden resolve, Landyn Torres stomped his feet, bit his finger fiercely, and pressed it against his forehead.

"Five Elements Sky Lock!" His voice rang cold and commanding. As bloodlight flashed on his forehead, the entire Eternal City shimmered within a dazzling crimson glow—a red light encircling the city entirely.

Torres burned his own vitality. Prepared for battles against these entities, he had devised contingency plans long ago. How could he allow his enemies to escape so easily?

As the crimson barrier activated, eight distinct points erupted with a sharp sound, and the light rapidly contracted, trapping any remaining gods who hadn’t managed to escape within Sunset Square.

Suddenly, the demeanor of every righteous and evil god turned grim.

Without hesitation, Torres sneered, "We might not be able to kill you, but erasing your souls here will certainly leave you crippled. Trying to leave? The Eight Great Families refuse!"

"Kid, do you think you can mock us just because our true forms can’t descend?"

"Kid, you’d push us to the breaking point?"

"Boy, leave room for reconciliation. We might cross paths again someday!"

"Boy, do you know who I am? Do you know who they are?"

"Hahahahaha!" Torres laughed uproariously, "As if I don’t know who you are! In the Ancient Times, you were merely servants polishing others’ boots and licking their asses. And now, you dare flaunt yourselves as gods? Utterly shameless!"

"Pffft– damn you, little brat!"

"How dare you insult us like that!"

"Arghh, you’re pushing this too far!" The provoked Ancient Great Gods abandoned thoughts of escape, their minds fixated on exacting vengeance.

"Do you truly think we fear you? Think we don’t dare break the seal? Think we’re limited to three percent of our power? You... brat—today you’ll witness what an Ancient Great God truly is!"

"Blood Body!"

With a deafening "Boom–," one of the Ancient Great Gods suddenly self-destructed, releasing a swirling mist of blood that formed into a gore-dripping figure.

This was an Ancient Evil God—a Blood Body, not its true form! Yet the Blood Body appeared undeniably more powerful!

Torres’ eyelids twitched. This Blood Body seemed at least twice as strong as before, capable of unleashing seventy percent of its power!

His gaze turned razor-sharp!

At that very moment, a distant sound broke through the sky—no, it wasn’t a roar—it was a piercing whistle, a deafening screech that rattled everyone’s skulls painfully!

Everyone, including the righteous and evil gods, turned to look at the sound’s origin in stunned bewilderment.

"An arrow—" someone quickly realized the source: a sharp arrow imbued with Gang Qi, cutting through the air.

"Biu–"

With a resounding "Boom–," the arrow struck the protective restriction around the Eternal City, and to everyone’s horror, the mighty Eternity Great Prohibition—a defense unbroken for countless ages—was breached in a single strike!

Immediately after, like a cannonball, a figure shot through the newly created hole in the restriction!

"Swish–" The figure landed atop a three-story building in the southeastern corner of Sunset Square.

His long hair streamed in the wind, a bow slung across his back, a black stick in his hand, and his piercing gaze locked onto the floating righteous and evil gods. Pointing at one of them, he declared coldly, "I don’t care what kind of god you are or what grudge you harbor against the Eight Great Families—release her, and you may live!"
