Perhaps he had never met someone as formidable as Long Chen in his life. Long Chen slapped the old man completely stunned.
Previously, these elders had all looked at people through their noses. Even when they recognized the Divine Maiden Dongming Jade, they still wore an air of arrogance and arrogance.
Fanatics are called the executors of divine decrees known as the gods of slaughter, somewhat like the Ministry of Justice in a civilian empire. Even if the goddess makes a mistake or acts that blaspheme, she will still be punished.
However, fanatics ignore everything outside and focus on serving the God of Slaughter. So, even when Dongming Yu judged the Blood Killing Hall, they didn't care at all.
In their eyes, Dongming Yu was a child of the gods. After being mischievous and teaching a lesson, she would surely return to the right path under the guidance of the gods in the future.
So when they saw Dongming Yu return, the first thing they thought was that he had turned over a new leaf and completely repented, coming before the God of Killing to confess, and thus still acting superior.
But Long Chen's slap completely shattered their dreams. Dongming Yu was not here to repent; he had brought a thug with him.
"If you don't want to die, get lost." Long Chen sneered.
These elders were only at the second step of the Tongming Realm, completely ignoring Long Chen. He couldn't even be bothered to kill him.
"Desecrating the gods and insulting the servants of the gods, you will ..." The old man's eyes turned red. Ignoring Long Chen's warning, he swung his staff and charged at Long Chen.
"Puff puff puff puff... Dong
Mingyu swung the dagger in his hand, blood splattering everywhere. The fanatic elders were instantly killed.
"As I said, they are the most devout believers of the God of Slaughter, so faithful that they've gone mad. Their intelligence cannot be measured by human thinking." Dongming Yu put away the dagger and said.
She knew these fanatics too well, so she didn't waste words with them, because saying nothing to them was useless—killing was the only option.
Walking up to the statue of the God of Slaughter, Dongming Yu circled around the God of Slaughter, carefully searching for something.
"What, you still don't know much about this statue?" Long Chen asked in confusion. Logically, no one should know the Killing God statue better than Dongming Yu.
"Sister Yueyan said that Empuda has a very powerful assassination technique called the Tianhuang Absolute Kill."
But among the divine arts I inherited, this move does not exist. Sister Yueyan said it was because my merits were insufficient, so I couldn't inherit this top-tier divine grace.
This time, I came here to seize this move. Even Sister Yueyan values it very highly. I must get it. Hehe, I found it. Suddenly, Dongming Jade found a dark red light spot at the center of the statue's brow.
This point of light was extremely subtle; if Dongming Yu hadn't pointed it out, Long Chen wouldn't have noticed it at all.
But soon after, Long Chen noticed that there were dozens of such subtle red dots.
Dongming Jade told Long Chen that each point of light represented a divine grace inheritance, divided into basic, intermediate, and advanced divine graces.
Beginner divine grace, as long as you spend enough years in the Blood Slaughter Hall and work diligently, can usually be obtained in eighty years.
However, this divine grace inheritance does not require direct visits to the statue of the God of Slaughter; by linking the power of the main statue through the statue in the branch hall, one can directly bask in the divine grace.
Among intermediate divine graces, only a portion requires worshipping the main deity statue; others can be passed down through statues in the branch halls.
Intermediate divine grace is something many people never get in their lifetime; only those who have contributed enough to the Blood Slaughter Hall are qualified. Usually, only past Hall Masters are qualified to receive it.
As for high-level divine grace, only the goddess is qualified to receive it. But even if Dongming Yu is a goddess, she is not qualified to receive top-tier divine grace. As for why, she doesn't know.
When Leng Yueyan was in the underworld, she wanted to give her something, but she herself was a goddess who had inherited the divine arts of the gods. If she gave Dongming Jade something, it would invisibly increase its karmic karma.
However, Leng Yueyan knew that the Killing God Enpuda possessed a set of Tianhuang Absolute Killing Techniques, which was quite impressive, so she let Dongming Yu retrieve it herself.
"How do you make this thing?" Long Chen asked, pointing at the center of the evil god statue's brow.
"Sister Yueyan said he won't give me this inheritance, so we'll have to win it." Dongming Yu said.
"Can you do it?" Long Chen hesitated a little. This was a divine artifact. If he wasn't careful, he might injure Dongming Jade or even kill her. That was far too dangerous.
"I definitely can't do it myself. Isn't it because of you?" Dongmingyu chuckled.
"Me?" I don't even understand this stuff? Long Chen shook his head. He knew nothing about the divine inheritance and dared not agree rashly.
"Come on, Brother Long Chen, hold me from behind, your forehead pressed against the back of my head." Dongmingyu held Long Chen's hand, and Long Chen wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind.
"Buzz"
Dongming Yu and Long Chen slowly rose and approached the brow of the Killing God statue. Dongming Yu pointed at the statue's forehead, which glowed.
Long Chen's brow pressed against the back of Dongming Jade's head. Their souls formed a bridge, and streams of divine power surged into Dongming Jade's brow—and at the same time, into Long Chen's brow.
Long Chen's mind grew slightly dizzy, feeling as if he had fallen into a strange world where endless runes flickered.
Each rune radiated surging divine power. Long Chen knew that each rune represented a kind of magical inheritance.
At the very top of countless runes stood a spiritual rune, radiating brilliant light that obscured all the glows of the runes.
"Brother Long Chen, that's the ultimate divine grace. I want to get it." Dongming Yu said to Long Chen.
"Alright, since Leng Yueyan can let us come, we should be absolutely confident. Go ahead and give it a try." Long Chen nodded.
"Whoosh!"
Dongming Yu formed hand seals with both hands, and streams of divine power surged out like threads, falling toward the rune. However, the rune burned like a raging fire, burning away all the threads Dongming Yu had shot.
You have to understand, those threads are the divine power within Dongming Jade's body. Although she betrayed the God of Slaughter, divine power still circulates within her, forming a single entity and can control that trace of divine power without divine blessing.
But the divine power of Dongming Jade was clearly insufficient to shake the rune.
"Again,"
Long Chen's soul power surged into Dongming Jade's sea of consciousness, intertwining with Dongming Jade's soul power as they explored the golden rune together.
"Buzz!"
Just like before, Dongming Jade's divine power was instantly burned away, and Long Chen's soul was struck by intense pain, as if being scorched by some kind of flame. At the same time, a lofty divine might was lofty as it looked down on Long Chen.
"Gave you face?"
Long Chen snorted coldly, his soul power surging madly. Using Dongming Jade's soul as a medium, the soul threads rapidly condensed into ropes, thickening and tightly binding the massive runes.
"Come here!"
Long Chen shouted, his soul power surging fiercelyIt erupted, the void roared and exploded, and the massive runes began to tremble, gradually pulling them closer.
"Sure."
Seeing the rune being pulled, Dongmingyu was overjoyed, but her expression quickly changed. As the rune approached, Dongmingyu's soul throbbed with intense pain.
Within those runes was a terrifying will; the closer she got, the more violent her soul trembled, even at risk of shattering.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the runic light erupted, and within the endless divine radiance, a pair of eyes appeared. Upon seeing those eyes, Dongming Yu couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Kill ... "God"
Dongming Yu's voice trembled slightly, and those eyes were actually the eyes of a god, coldly staring at her. Endless fear welled up in her heart.
It was like a disciple who had made a grave mistake, about to face the harshest punishment; her face turned pale.
Long Chen also looked into those eyes. His soul ached slightly, but he stared at them without blinking.
Long Chen knew these eyes were not looking at Dongming Jade at all, but at him. The slight sting was a form of probing.
As his soul ached more and more, the Shenguan Star within Long Chen's sea of consciousness began to tremble slowly, and then the Mingmen Star also began to light up.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the pair of eyes within the runes vanished, and the struggling runes were pulled in and surged into Dongming Jade's brow.
Dongmingyu and Long Chen opened their eyes. Long Chen saw that the center of the statue's brow was beginning to dim and lose its luster, while Dongmingyu's face showed disbelief.
"So, did it work?" Long Chen placed his large hand on Dongmingyu's shoulder, asking questions while checking Dongmingyu's body, and found that Dongmingyu showed no signs of discomfort.
It seemed the rune had suddenly given up struggling and was actively fused with Dongming Jade, but Long Chen was still a bit uneasy.
"Brother Long Chen, the God of Death gave me the Tianhuang Absolute Killing Technique. He ... He told me not to destroy his legacy, ... this." Dongming Yu's face was still filled with shock, still not recovering.
Because just now, the rune suddenly merged into Dongming Yu's soul, imprinting the Tianhuang Absolute Killing Technique into Dongming Yu's mind, and at the same time, it left behind the Killing God's words: Please do not destroy my legacy.
The God of Death not only forgave her betrayal and gave her the talisman, but also, with a hint of negotiation or even pleading, came to ask her not to destroy the Blood Killing Hall. She was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that the god actually begged her.
Long Chen frowned, testing the Killing God. But when the Divine Gate Star and Mingmen Star reacted, the Killing God decisively withdrew and voluntarily handed the talisman to Dongming Jade. What did this mean? Could it be that he had uncovered his own secrets? Or did he learn something?
Dongming Yu obtained the talisman, a look of wild joy appearing on his face. Clearly, this Tianhuang Absolute Kill was an extremely terrifying divine technique that did not disappoint Dongming Yu.
But for some reason, Long Chen felt a vague sense of unease, as if he had been set up. Could the God of Killing know the secret of the Nine Stars?
For quite a long time, he hadn't heard that mysterious voice calling him again. Long Chen seemed to sense a terrifying threat slowly approaching him.
This time, he didn't need that mysterious voice to remind him; he himself felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.
"Let's go."
Long Chen led Dong Mingyu out of the Blood Slaughter Hall. Zhong Ziyang and the others watched helplessly as Long Chen and Dong Mingyu left, but dared not stop them in the slightest.
After Long Chen and Dongming Yu returned, good news soon arrived.
