Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 34 The Fall of the Four Divine Beasts

"This, how is this possible?"

Redding looked at Hope and couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.

Hope's lips curled into a mocking smile, his tone remaining calm and unremarkable. His ice-blue armor radiated endless chill, and the longsword in his hand flowed with a gentle, watery luster, making him appear like an invincible war god.

At this moment, Redding finally panicked. He couldn't understand how Hope could withstand their combined innate divine power twice. The first fire-type ruler, Prinhor, had personally admitted that even a Great Perfection ruler couldn't withstand it twice. It was impossible to stop it with the power of the will to win ten consecutive victories in the plane war.

"Great Perfection? Could it be that Hope was actually already at Great Perfection, not only because of the ten consecutive victories in the interdimensional war, but also because of the power of the will of a Great Perfection cultivator..."

Reading's eyes widened as he considered a possibility, and he spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice:
"Hope, you've reached the pinnacle?"

Although it was phrased as a question, Reading spoke with absolute certainty, his expression turning incredibly grim.

“I was already at the Great Perfection when the world was first created.”

Hope narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly, while simultaneously adjusting his soul power to quickly recover.

Although the innate powers of the Four Divine Beasts were not enough to kill him, enduring them twice still had some impact. However, for Hope, this injury was nothing.

"What? Hope, you've been hiding this for so long!"

Lius the White Tiger was taken aback by Redding's words, but then he came to his senses and looked at Hope with anger in his eyes.

Unfortunately, his anger is now just impotent rage, which is meaningless.

Feeling the depletion of his vital essence, Lius felt a wave of powerlessness, yet there was nothing he could do.

"Brother, we..."

Suzaku Nemo trembled slightly, standing beside Redding somewhat at a loss. They had never imagined that the Water Ruler Hope would have such strength; their innate abilities had failed to kill him twice.

Reading was equally anxious, desperately trying to think of a way to break the deadlock, but his expression grew increasingly grim.

Redding had studied Hope, the ruler of the water element, quite a bit over the years, but he had never imagined that Hope was hiding its Great Perfection strength.

Back when Augusta, the Lord of Light, completed the mission of the Supreme God, and the last token appeared, Hope also discovered it. However, when she was about to confront Augusta head-on, she took a step back. At that time, Augusta did not have the Supreme Artifact.

Because of this, almost none of the main gods thought that the Water Element Ruler was at the Great Perfection. After all, if the Water Element Ruler was at the Great Perfection, there was no reason for him to be afraid of the Light Element Ruler. Only a few people, such as the Death Element Ruler, speculated that it might be related to Ofu.

In Redding's eyes, the water elemental ruler, Hope, is an old ruler who existed since the beginning of time. He participated in the previous ruler wars and fought against multiple rulers. No one has ever discovered that he is a Great Perfection master, nor should he be.

"If it weren't for wanting to experience your innate abilities and magic arrays up close, and to try and improve my research, you wouldn't have had a chance to make a move. You are far from being true rulers! Now, it's my turn!"

Ignoring the four gloomy-looking divine beasts, Hope slowly spoke after recovering his soul slightly. His figure suddenly transformed into a stream of azure water, surging towards Redding and the other three with overwhelming force. A huge sword light flashed on the longsword in his hand, emitting a dazzling white light.

"Run! Go to hell!"

After speaking, Redding forced himself to transform into his true form as a blue dragon once more. However, the blue dragon scales that had originally exuded a powerful aura were now somewhat dull and lifeless, as if they had lost the bloodline of a divine beast.

"Roar!"

The Azure Dragon exhaled a golden breath, which spread around the four people, and the golden sphere constructed by the magic circle reappeared.

"Chichi~~"

As Lius and his companions retreated, they desperately mustered their last reserves of strength to infuse the magic circle with the power of the main god. As the sound of space shattering rang out, pale blue ripples appeared on the golden sphere, transforming into a blue defensive formation.

The Four Divine Beasts' combined ultimate move—the Azure Dragon Defense of the Four Elements Water System! "Block it for me!"

Redding screamed inwardly, while simultaneously mobilizing his remaining strength to enhance his defense, covering the icy blue orb with a layer of faintly visible ice crystals.

After using their innate divine powers twice, the four divine beast gods had almost exhausted all their power. As the water-type god, Ledin had enjoyed a portion of the willpower from the ten consecutive victories in the interplane war, and was currently the only remaining fighting force among the four.

In order to survive, he had to use all his strength to work with the other three people to activate the magic circle with the last bit of divine power and carry out a joint defense.

At this point, Redding couldn't care less about anything else. He just wanted to hold on for the time being and find an opportunity to escape to Hell. The Lord of Destruction certainly didn't want them to be taken away by other Lords, and then they would have a chance to survive.

However, Reading's idea was good, but the defenses that the four of them, now weakened, could not provide were far from sufficient.

"Om~~"

As the spatial turbulence was dispersed, the white sword light fell, and the blue sphere was instantly torn apart like a piece of paper, landing directly on the cyan dragon scale body.

"Ow!"

The Azure Dragon spat out blue light, as if letting out a final, unwilling roar, but could only watch as the sword light sliced ​​through its body. The fluctuations of its life force quickly dissipated, and its pair of blood-red pupils gradually became transparent.

Azure Dragon God Ledin—fallen!
"Big Brother!!!"

The White Tiger god Lius roared, his voice filled with grief and indignation, his eyes fixed on Hope.

"I never imagined I would perish here!"

Nemo, the chief god of Suzaku, coughed up bright red blood, his face showing a look of despair.

Bowen, the chief god of Xuanwu, also stared intently at Hope, no longer attempting to escape, because they knew it was pointless.

Only when the four divine beasts are united can they contend with the Sovereign. Whether it's combining their innate divine abilities or their combined magical array techniques, none of them can be missing. The moment the Azure Dragon God, Ledin, fell, they were merely lower-ranking gods, with no possibility of ever again contending with the Sovereign.
Running away is pointless. Even if the three lower-level gods scattered and fled, they could not escape the pursuit of the rulers. Moreover, without their eldest brother Redding, even if the three of them ran away, they would only be prey for the other rulers to slaughter at will.

Hope paid no attention to the gazes of Lius and the other two. From the beginning of time until now, everyone had experienced countless killings and had seen the same gazes countless times. He had long since become indifferent to them.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Hope moved her right hand slightly, and a blue and white halo flowed on the longsword, which then transformed into three sword beams that suddenly shot out and flew toward Lius, Bowen, and Nemo respectively.

After losing Ledin, the combined magic circle of the four divine beasts became ineffective. The three of them, including Lius, could no longer exert their power as rulers and only had the power of lower-level gods. Faced with Hope's attack, they had no chance to resist.

"Hope! The Overlord of Destruction will surely kill you!"

Lius transformed into its white form, its silvery-white fur trembling as it desperately tried to resist.

However, it was all in vain. The blue and white sword light easily sliced ​​through the white tiger's body, and the red "king" character on the white tiger's forehead dimmed instantly, and then it lost its life.

Lies, the chief god of the White Tiger—has fallen!
"hold head high!"

"ah!"

The Vermilion Bird Nemo spread its wings, radiating intense flames, while the earthen-yellow divine power of the Black Tortoise Bowen flickered on its tortoise shell, attempting to block the sword's edge.

Finally, two blue and white sword beams pierced through the bodies of the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise, and the blazing red light and the earth-shaking earth-yellow halo instantly dissipated.

Nemo, the chief god of Suzaku—has fallen!
Bowen, the chief god of Xuanwu, has fallen!
Thus, the four divine beast gods, who had dominated the divine planes for countless years and were comparable to rulers, all perished.
