Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 60: Hurley Arrives, Hope VS Thunder-type Overlord
Even on his deathbed, Diya was still in a daze, never imagining that he would perish like this.

On the other side, in the wind-elemental divine plane, atop Mount Wind God, Diya, with brown hair, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Diya let out an angry roar, its voice also containing a mournful cry.

Since the birth of its autonomous divinity, Diya has always been the ruler of the wind element, a position that has never changed. It has survived numerous wars between the gods of heaven and earth and has never fallen.

Diya never imagined that this time, he would actually lose his Sovereign Avatar.

"Hope!!!"

Dia raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if trying to look at Hope from afar. However, after a moment of silence, he slumped weakly into his seat.

The next moment, Diya decisively stood up and simultaneously activated the power of the Earth God, moving forward at high speed towards the nearest teleportation array.

Although he lost the Sovereign's avatar, Diya still did not want to die. Even though the loss of the Sovereign's avatar was hard to accept, in the face of a real life-or-death crisis, Diya's first consideration was to survive.

Judging from the strength Hope has displayed, he and Hurley have clearly underestimated him, and Hurley probably can't kill Hope.

However, Diya has already offended Hope, so he probably can't stay in the God Plane anymore. He has to hide in the Material Plane to have a chance of survival.

"I hope Hope won't specifically target me!"

As Diya moved quickly forward, he silently prayed in his heart.

Although Diya's divine avatar possesses three main divine artifacts and the power of will bestowed by the main god's avatar, even a main god in the material plane cannot do anything to him. However, he cannot withstand Hope's subordinates, who have a Great Perfection High God as the main god's messenger.

The wind-elemental high-level god Bai'er and the lightning-elemental high-level god Ninisha are both messengers of Hope. If Diya were to fight these two in the material plane, he would still be banished. After all, the divine avatar of the main god is only 0.8 times more powerful than the high-level god, and its laws are too profound. In a real fight, Diya would be no match for them.

All Diya could do was travel through a few more material planes and then pray that Hope, seeing that he had lost his main god avatar, wouldn't bother to arrange for a Great Perfection cultivator to hunt him down across all material planes.

At the same moment, the instant Hope and Dia met, Hurley moved. His right hand flashed with lightning, instantly tearing through space and rushing straight into the spatial turbulence, flying towards the location between the Qingya plane and Hope.

However, in just a moment, Hurley's expression froze slightly, because Dia was killed by Hope in just one exchange, which Hurley had not expected.

In his and Dia's plan, Dia was supposed to use his speed to evade Hope's attacks and then reunite with him.

"Hulley! It seems this was all part of your plan."

Hope's divine sense immediately noticed Hurley's presence, and his previously furrowed brows, which had been furrowed with some doubt, relaxed slightly.

When Hope heard that Dia had taken action against Parhouse, he was not only angry but also a little confused. After all, Dia killing Parhouse, even without considering his own thoughts or whether he could do it, had no practical significance.

Although Diya has another divine avatar, it is the avatar of the earth god. Even if he kills Parhouse and obtains the water godhood, it will not have any real meaning for Diya. Moreover, given Parhouse's strength, Diya could be killed instead if he wanted to kill him.

Now, upon seeing Hurley, Hope understood immediately. It seemed that Dia and Hurley had reached a consensus and were preparing to plot against him together.

"I was really underestimated!"

Hope slightly raised her right hand, and the longsword she had just thrown returned to her hand. She looked calmly in the direction of Hurley.

"Hulley, since you want to kill me, you must be prepared to be killed!"

A layer of light blue armor appeared on Hope's body, surrounded by raging water. Holding a longsword, he transformed into a blue streak of light and charged towards Hurley. "Parhouse, collect Dia's corpse and the main godhood. You leave first."

Hope telepathically spoke to Palhaus behind him, then sped up and rushed toward Hurley.

"Yes, Lord."

Upon hearing this, Palhaus breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed towards the direction of Dia's corpse.

"Whoosh!"

The raging torrent of water quickly surged to Hurley's front, transforming into Hope's figure, his starry eyes filled with azure killing intent.

"Hope, have you... reached the pinnacle?"

Hurley paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, his tone becoming more serious.

Everything that just happened was too fast. From the moment Hurley discovered Hope colliding with Dia and bursting out of the Tomb of the Gods, to Dia's fall, it all happened almost instantly. Hurley couldn't stop it at all. When Hurley came to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated Hope.

In a single exchange, with a single strike, he annihilated Diya. Hurley felt that this strength was much greater than he had anticipated. The only explanation was that Hope was actually at the Great Perfection, possessing the profound six-fold fusion of laws and a portion of willpower.

"You are honored, Hurley. You will be the first Overlord I kill with all my might!"

Hope did not deny it, and there was no need to hide anything from a dead man.

"Hope, I acted impulsively today. Let's call it quits, and I'll find a way to make it up to you."

Hurley gritted his teeth and spoke, while keeping a wary eye on Hope.

At this moment, Hurley no longer had time to wonder why Hope, who was at the Great Perfection stage, would yield to Augusta back then. Hope's strength had disrupted his plans.

"ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, Hope gave a mocking smile, then drew his longsword in a circular arc, and a semi-transparent water blade shot out instantly.

"Hope, don't push your luck! Even if you're at the Great Perfection level, the outcome is still uncertain!"

Hurley's expression changed slightly, and a long spear surrounded by a large amount of lightning appeared in his hand. The current instantly turned into a barrier to block the impact of the water blade.

In Hurley's view, although Hope was at the Great Perfection level and his strength surpassed his own, he was not without a chance.

Hope is a Great Perfection Sovereign with an added amount of willpower, while Hurley is an Ordinary Sovereign with an added amount of willpower, plus the physical body and innate divine abilities of a Thunder Giant. Although his profound understanding of the laws is not Great Perfection, it is close to Great Perfection. In a true life-or-death duel, he has about a 20-30% chance of winning.

"Hulley, I never give my enemies any chance. In the previous battles with Redding and the other three, I never had the opportunity to use my full strength. This time, I hope you can make me feel a little bit of fighting spirit!"

Hope didn't say anything more. Instead, he held the longsword high, and the power of the water god condensed and gathered on the blade. The surrounding spatial turbulence was instantly blown away by the water.

"Fine! Fine! Fine! Hope, if you want to fight, then I'll fight you to the end. Do you really think you've got me cornered?"

Hurley realized that war was inevitable. He drew his spear in a semi-circular arc, and a large number of dark purple thunderclouds began to appear. Almost instantly, lightning enveloped the sky and earth.

At this moment, the battle between the Water Dominator and the Lightning Dominator has officially begun!
