The three Divine-grade powerhouses exchanged a glance.

How could they still fail to understand?

This Faustus had clearly come here to pick a fight. He was being utterly unreasonable.

"Does he truly think himself invincible?"

Ankarach secretly gathered energy. The light at his fingertips grew brighter and brighter.

"Too arrogant..."

Hiram was so furious that his chest felt tight, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I have lived for millions of years, yet I have never seen a human so arrogant."

Brand’s killing intent was already set. His voice was cold, as though drifting out from a tomb.

"Join forces and kill him. End this once and for all!"

"Kill!"

Brand was the first to strike.

Hiram and Ankarach followed closely behind.

"We were going to fight in the end anyway. Why waste words?"

Facing the siege of three Divine-grade powerhouses, Faustus showed no fear at all.

The Divine-grade powerhouses fully unleashed their sage ranks, and overwhelming pressure swept over like mountains collapsing and seas overturning.

All kinds of secret arts and divine arts poured down like a torrential storm, tearing the void apart and swallowing Faustus’s figure in an endless torrent of energy.

"Die—!"

Hiram went straight for the kill.

A Godkin secret art unfolded in his hands. Vast world power gathered madly, and in the blink of an eye, a million elemental spheres condensed around Faustus.

Those spheres greedily devoured everything around them—air, light, even space itself. They also continued to devour one another.

In the end, even space could no longer endure it. Amid tearing and collapse, the spheres transformed into enormous Elemental Black Holes.

From the depths of those black holes, a terrifying aura capable of destroying heaven and earth faintly spread out.

"You arrogant fool. Let’s see whether you die or not!"

A ferocious smile hung on Hiram’s face.

This secret art, Elemental Black Hole, was his proudest killing move. Its power was comparable to the full-force strike of a High Divine-grade powerhouse.

"Divine Grace Idol!"

Ankarach attacked at the same time.

His body suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant ten thousand meters tall. His shoulders and back propped up the firmament. With one step of his right foot, the entire God Realm trembled.

His right shoulder tilted slightly, bringing his entire right arm down like an overturning mountain range as he slammed his palm toward Faustus.

Wherever that giant palm passed, space collapsed like paper. Its power was absolutely terrifying.

What Brand unleashed, meanwhile, was an auxiliary secret art.

He condensed world power into countless weapons, packed together densely like surging ocean waves, covering the sky and earth as they rushed toward Faustus.

Faustus’s gaze sharpened.

The elemental energy around him gathered wildly, turning into a boundless sea of ice and fire. In an instant, it flooded this entire stretch of heaven and earth.

Unlike other powerhouses, Faustus himself was an amplifier!

His damage could be amplified countless times over. The quality and energy of his elements could likewise be amplified countless times over.

He had no secret art.

But this ability itself was the strongest secret art under heaven.

He also possessed Causal Power.

The corners of Faustus’s mouth lifted slightly.

With Causal Power in hand, the ending could be rewritten.

Among the countless interwoven threads of cause and effect, he had already seen the method to break through their attacks.

"Explode!"

Hiram detonated the Elemental Black Holes.

Boom!

Rumble—!

The explosions connected into one continuous blast, deafening to the ears. They actually blew apart the space of the God Realm.

"Go!"

Ankarach’s giant palm came crashing down, landing squarely on Faustus’s position.

Crash, crash, crash—!

The weapons condensed from world power surged like a tide, drowning Faustus completely.

At the same time, Faustus’s vast ocean of ice and fire elements swallowed the three Divine-grade powerhouses as well.

"Hmph—I am Divine-grade. You think this tiny bit of elemental damage can possibly hurt—"

Hiram’s face was filled with disdain, but halfway through his sentence, his expression changed drastically.

He discovered that every single cell in his body had become abnormal, as if something had drilled inside and taken root throughout him.

"Are you trying to tickle me?"

"Hahaha... All beneath Divine-grade are mere ant—"

Ankarach’s enormous ten-thousand-meter body suddenly trembled.

He had also sensed the abnormality within himself.

"What is going on? Inside my body... what is this thing?"

A hint of surprise flashed through Brand’s eyes.

However, he did not panic.

He still had a life-saving method.

"Life Condensation!"

The moment his voice fell, the vitality within his body suddenly vanished, as if it had been drawn away by an invisible hand.

The three Divine-grade powerhouses raised their heads at the same time and looked toward the place where Faustus stood.

Step!

Step—step—

Faustus slowly walked out from the smoke and dust filling the sky. He stepped through the air as though walking on flat ground.

His robes fluttered violently.

He was completely unharmed.

"Everyone, please personally witness the transformation of an era!"

Faustus’s voice was as cold and hard as iron.

"Today, I shall use the blood of Godkin sages to sacrifice to the sages of Aetheria’s human race."

Countless years ago, that greatsword powerhouse had crossed the Time River and returned to a battlefield of certain death for the sake of his race.

Countless years ago, the sages of the human race had willingly taken their own lives in exchange for a place where their people could survive.

Today, Faustus had come.

He had come to demand back everything the human race had lost!

The moment his words fell—

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Three deafening explosions rang out. The bodies of the three Divine-grade powerhouses abruptly collapsed, turning into powder that scattered across the sky.

Daniel’s eyes lit up.

The trump-card secret arts of two sages were still extremely precious.

He immediately sold both secret arts.

...

"Hm?"

Faustus’s gaze sharpened.

Something was wrong!

Of the three Divine-grade powerhouses, two were dead.

There was still one left!

Brand of the God of Light Hall had actually not died?

His eyes widened.

With the power of Endless Divine Power, killing a Low Divine-grade opponent above his level should not have been difficult at all. This had already been proven by the fall of the other two gods.

With his current strength, he was fully capable of instantly killing a Low Divine-grade.

But Brand...

Was actually still alive?
