Chapter 163: A Divine General Blocks the Way

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

One after another, terrifying divine auras burst forth.

It was as if, in the pitch-black night sky, stars were blooming one after another.

Gune could sense each one with perfect clarity.

At the same time, Gune felt these auras rapidly approaching him.

"Indeed, my previous strategy of hiding was correct."

"So many powerful beings were hidden here, including four Divine Controllers."

"If I hadn't concealed my aura and kept a low profile, once discovered by these experts, they would surely swarm in, capture me, seize the treasures in my hands, and even soul-scour me."

"Fortunately..." Gune's perception swept over the rapidly approaching powerful auras one by one.

"Now I no longer fear these Divine Controllers."

"In fact, today I can even spar with these Divine Controllers to see roughly where my current strength stands among them."

"Here they come!"

Just as Gune was flying, his heart suddenly stirred.

"Hum!"

A flash of silver-white light streaked by.

A peak Fifth-Realm Divine expert, clad in silver-white armor and wearing a sword at his waist that emitted a powerful aura, blocked Gune's path.

Gune halted.

After scrutinizing the other party, Gune roughly understood his strength.

A peak Fifth-Realm Divine General.

Even among Fifth-Realm divinities, there were considerable gaps.

They could roughly be divided into three tiers.

Ordinary Fifth-Realm divinities.

Peak Fifth-Realm divinities.

And the one before him, a peak Fifth-Realm Divine General.

Fifth-Realm divinities need not be elaborated upon.

The Fifth Realm was already the highest realm of divine cultivation.

All aspects were near their limits.

Divine power, mysteries, various techniques, divine abilities—all reached heights ordinary divinities could not match.

Peak Fifth-Realm divinities.

Their mysteries were perfected, granting them absolute control over mysteries.

Only with perfected mysteries could one become a true peak Fifth-Realm divinity.

This was the greatest difference between peak Fifth-Realm divinities and ordinary Fifth-Realm divinities.

Then, the Fifth-Realm Divine Generals—these were formidable.

Fifth-Realm Divine Generals not only had perfected mysteries, but possibly more than one aspect of mysteries perfected.

At the same time, their divine power was transformed by special Cthulhu energy, reaching a critical-line transformation that surpassed the divine power of Fifth-Realm divinities.

Additionally, they used divine power imbued with Cthulhu energy, which surpassed divine power, to cultivate powerful Cthulhu scriptures.

This created a significant gap between Fifth-Realm Divine Generals and Fifth-Realm divinities.

As for Divine Controllers, they had completely merged with the essential power of Cthulhu.

They possessed a trace of Cosmic Momentum!

And Cosmic Momentum was the greatest difference between Divine Controllers and Fifth-Realm divinities or Divine Generals.

Although they did not possess Cosmic Momentum,

Fifth-Realm Divine Generals could be considered half-step Divine Controllers.

Some powerful Divine Generals were even not inferior to ordinary Divine Controllers.

After scrutinizing the other party, Gune spoke aloud.

"Sir, why do you block my path?"

The silver-armored Divine General narrowed his eyes, examined Gune, and then spoke.

"I mean no harm."

"I wish to trade with you, but it seems you may not be willing. Even if you were..."

Saying this, the silver-armored Divine General looked around and then shook his head slightly.

"I'm afraid there's no time."

"Although I am well aware of Your Excellency's formidable strength, the more so it is, the more covetous others become of the treasures in your hands."

"If Your Excellency can survive this time, I would like to engage in a transaction with you."

Hearing the other's words, Gunie sneered inwardly.

"Blocking my path, yet claiming to have no ill intent, and even wanting to trade with me?"

"If you want to stall for time, at least find a reasonable excuse. This shoddy pretext is fit to fool ghosts!"

"It seems that negotiating peacefully with these fellows is impossible."

"The only way is to beat them bloody, make them understand that the consequence of spying on the treasure in my hands is death, so they will fear me."

"I don't care whether Your Excellency has ill intent or truly wishes to trade with me."

"But no matter what, blocking my path like this, you really think I'm easy to bully."

"Hehe... I do not harbor such thoughts." The silver-armored divine general said with a light laugh.

Though he said this, his steps blocking Gunie did not move an inch.

Gazing at the other for a moment, Gunie laughed.

"If I'm not mistaken, among the four deity controllers rushing over, there should be a strong one from Your Excellency's faction!"

Gunie's words stirred something in the silver-armored divine general's heart.

What Gunie said was not false; he had blocked Gunie this time on the orders of the deity controller [Red Blood Brahma].

"I think Your Excellency is mistaken." The silver-armored divine general said.

"Mistaken or not,"

Gunie's eyes fixed on the silver-armored divine general.

"You don't really think that with your mere divine general level, you can stop me, do you?" Gunie said.

Instantly, the silver-armored divine general's eyes narrowed.

"Since you want to be a dog blocking the road, you must have the觉悟 of a roadblock dog."

"If I kill you now, I imagine the expression of that arriving deity controller will be quite interesting."

As Gunie said this,

The silver-armored divine general gently pressed his right hand on the silver divine sword at his waist and said in a low voice,

"I have no ill intent. If Your Excellency insists, I have no choice but to fight."

"Fight?"

Gunie sneered.

"You overestimate yourself. This is just suicide!"

As Gunie's words fell,

"Hum!"

A holy light sword, like milky white glass, crossed three thousand meters, its blade instantly thrusting out.

The moment Gunie's holy light sword was unleashed,

The divine sword in the silver-armored divine general's hand also rose in counterattack.

A surge of light, vast and mighty, rushed toward Gunie's holy light sword.

"Boom!"

The two sword blades clashed together.

Vast divine power fluctuations rippled out, instantly spreading over thousands of kilometers.

Gunie stood still.

But the silver-armored divine general, in the clash of swords, was pushed back a hundred meters, his divine power slightly shaken.

"Such fierce divine power!" the silver-armored divine general thought to himself.

"This guy indeed has strength comparable to a deity controller."

"The sword blade he unleashed is truly formidable."

"Fortunately, it's not unbearable."

"Once Lord Red Blood Brahma arrives, it will be fine."

The next moment.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Three sharp holy light swords struck down again.

The silver-armored divine general gritted his teeth, held his divine weapon, and resisted with all his might.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sword blades intertwined, divine power burst forth.

For a time, the entire heaven and earth within thousands of kilometers were churned by the explosive fluctuations of their divine power, shaking the realm.

At the same time, the many deities in the nearer area, feeling the terrifying might that could easily destroy those at the third level and severely wound those at the fourth level, all did their utmost to restrain their auras and accelerated their escape.
