The Era of Gods Chapter 164 – Super Large Fire Elemental and Meteoric Fire Rain

Chapter 164: Super Large Fire Elemental and Meteoric Fire Rain

|

The so-called incarnation is an avatar that a demigod or stronger being forms by using a sliver of their divinity and a strand of consciousness as the core, gathering a large amount of divine power.

This refers to beings below Demigods, as the incarnations of True Gods are different.

The strength of an incarnation is related to its divinity and divine power. The more divine power carried during its formation, the more powerful the incarnation will be.

The divine power carried by this Vampire Demi-god Incarnation seemed not to be a lot. Despite its powerful aura, they didn’t feel much of a threat.

But for Yu Xiu, who was far away, the moment the Vampire Demi-god’s Advent occurred, he felt as though his head had been smashed by a sledgehammer. He lost consciousness for a full ten seconds or so, and when he came to, his face was as pale as paper. He hurriedly packed up his monocular telescope, turned, and ran.

Lin Xiao and the others were Divine Beings with Divinity of their own, allowing them to disregard the oppressive presence of a Demigod, but Yu Xiu was just an ordinary person, a mortal in their eyes.

Any mortal who faces a Demigod directly must make a willpower save on the spot.

Clearly, he failed his willpower check, stunned for more than a dozen seconds. In gaming terms, it was as if he couldn’t attack or be attacked by anyone for a dozen turns—a situation where, in combat, he would have been dead long ago.

As for Yu Xiu’s Half Beastman subordinates, they fared even worse. After the willpower check, they all fell into fear and scattered in all directions.

And this is only a Demigod. If it were the Advent of a True God’s incarnation, failing the willpower check would have various outcomes depending on the True God’s alignment and will.

If the True God were an Evil God, there would be a high chance of instant death, and the soul harvested by the Evil God’s incarnation.

If the Advent were of a non-evil deity, there would likely be forced conversion of mind and will, turning the individual into a Fanatic Believer of that deity.

Of course, these are the worst outcomes and only apply to mortals with weak willpower. Professionals with relatively firm willpower would, like Yu Xiu, fall into states of fear or stupor.

After escaping to a safe distance and coming upon a small hill, Yu Xiu was about to use a whistle to gather the scattered Half Beastman when his wristband vibrated slightly. He clicked it and a familiar middle-aged man’s projection popped up, addressing him:

“Where are you right now?”

Yu Xiu replied:

“I’m outside Alfonso City.”

“The company has new orders for you. Leave Alfonso immediately and head to the vicinity of Redstone Plateau Eagle Beak Gorge, at the border between the Vampire Kingdom and the Human Kingdom. The company has set up a camp there.”

“Oh, and don’t pass through any cities on the way.”

The middle-aged man cautioned:

“Students from the Super Newcomer Summer Camp are currently exercising in this plane, and all Vampire Lords are their targets; they will probably attack directly. Avoid going there to prevent being caught in the fray.”

Yu Xiu, looking at the massive cloud of blood that had just unfolded over the city in the distance, pulled out a flask and took a swig to calm his nerves, shrugged, and said:

“No need for estimates—someone is already attacking Alfonso. They entered the city in less than half an hour, and now even the Vampire Demi-god’s Incarnation has descended. The scale of the battle is enormous.”

“Wait!”

The middle-aged man held up a hand, urgently asking:

“Are you saying that the Vampire Demi-god has sent down an incarnation?”

“Yeah, any problem with that, Supervisor?”

The man known as the Supervisor showed a hint of joy and said:

“Then you hurry back there, find a way to get your hands on that bit of Divinity that makes up the Demi-god’s Incarnation.”

“Pfft!”

Yu Xiu sprayed out a mouthful of liquor, covering his mouth and rolling his eyes:

“Are you joking, Supervisor? How am I supposed to get my hands on that Divinity? With my strength, it’s like using my head to snatch it.”

The middle-aged man realized this and quickly explained:

“I’m not asking you to rob them; wait for them to defeat the Vampire Demi­god, then approach them in the company’s name to buy that bit of Divinity. I will guide you on what to say when the time comes.”

Yu Xiu was silent. Frankly, he objected to the order, but he couldn’t refuse; if he did, it would be difficult for him to continue his career.

Fortunately, it was just passing a message, no need for him to take action, not too dangerous, so he nodded and said:

“I can go, but I’ll wait until they’ve finished fighting and it’s safe to go over.”

“Okay, once you complete this task, you’ll get a promotion to First Level permission, and we’ll transfer you to a better and more relaxed position.”

Upon receiving such a promise from his supervisor, Yu Xiu was content and put the whistle to his lips, blowing it hard to summon his Half Beastman subordinates.

Meanwhile, not far from Alfonso City, Shen Yuexin and Lin Xu also appeared when the Vampire Demigod Avatar revealed itself. She reached out and, with a light grasp, a whip crackling with blazing white lightning appeared in her hand. She flicked the lightning whip, which rapidly extended a hundred meters, cracking the Void with loud snaps, and she called out:

“Let’s make it quick to avoid protracted troubles.”

Lin Xiao withdrew his slightly odd gaze and called out as his figure rapidly enlarged, transforming into a towering thirty-meter-tall humanoid with a snake tail, resembling a Supreme Naga but with scales shimmering in golden light. With a grasp, a forty-meter-long Pure Gold Spear appeared in his hand.

This was a spoil of war he had acquired from the Snake People Demigod during the final exams. If a Demigod had used it as a weapon, it definitely was something valuable. After he removed the spiritual branding left by the Snake People Demigod with Divine Power, it had become his weapon.

As for Lin Xu’s weapon, it was a grandiose Golden Bow. When he drew the bowstring, a Golden Arrow composed purely of the Power of Faith slowly took shape.

The power of his bow depended entirely on how much Power of Faith was consumed by the condensed arrow; the more invested, the greater the power naturally was.

With their weapons revealed, Lin Xiao knew it was his turn to step in. With a stomp on the Void, ripples burst forth out of nowhere, and he transformed into a mass of golden light, charging into the Blood Realm unfolded by the Vampire Demigod Avatar.

By coincidence, the Vampire Demigod also possessed a Blood Realm, but it was stronger than that of the Snake People, imbued with rules of aging.

If ordinary people entered this Blood Realm, not only would the blood in their bodies boil or be forcefully extracted but also they would be weakened by the aging rules.

The rule of aging doesn’t literally make one old; aging involves the Supreme Time Law. It brings about a weakened state similar to that experienced after life’s natural aging process.

And the Blood Realm isn’t just about making your blood boil or forcefully extracting your blood; these are just the most commonly used and most powerful manifestations of the blood rule. The complete rule of blood refers to the control over blood. To ordinary people, the most horrifying aspect is naturally having all their blood forcefully drawn out, or boiling like it’s been set aflame.

These are the ways to wield the blood rule, a control from the rule level that ordinary people simply can’t counter. This is the impassable chasm between gods and mortals.

Only a Deity can contend with another Deity. Although Lin Xiao and his companions aren’t Demigods and lack Godhood, their robust Divinity, coupled with the Power of Faith, can negate the impact of the rules.

Of course, legendary heroes who are just beginning to touch the level of rules can also resist the influence of domain rules for a short period.

It’s worth mentioning that legendary troop types and legendary heroes are actually two different things.

Legendary troop types refer to the level of troop types: Rank 6 and Rank 7 are transcendent troop types, Rank 8 and Rank 9 legendary troop types, meaning that troops of this level are as powerful as legends.

Legendary heroes, on the other hand, refer to mortals who have begun to master rule powers and have legendary traits similar to Divinity, reaching the level of Rank 8 in the evaluation of countless mortal creatures in the Main World against the Void Sea Crystal Wall System. Both kinds have no significant difference in physical constitution or ability, with the major difference lying in their mastery of rules.

For example, both a legendary troop type and a legendary hero have a strength of 100, which can deal a hit equivalent to 50 strength to an enemy with a constitution of 50. However, a legendary hero with rule power can deliver damage that is a multiplier of 50 or employ rule power to ignore the enemy’s defenses to deal full damage.

Or to put it another way, even with zero-level Weak Divine Power, by virtue of their Transcendent Divine Power “Life and Death”, they can instantly kill a legendary creature of Rank 8 or even Rank 9, but not a Rank 8 legendary hero who has mastered rules.

Of course, this applies to the vast majority of cases and doesn’t include some freakish legendary troop types like Dragons which, with their innate freakish talents, can’t be measured by common standards.

Besides, if a troop type can advance to Rank 10, there’s no distinction between ordinary troop types and legendary heroes. Creatures at this level will absolutely possess attributes comparable to legendary rules, freakishly strong ones.

And this Legendary Vampire Duke named Afonso is actually a legendary creature, not truly a legendary hero who masters rules.

For distinction, those who have mastered rules are commonly referred to as True Legends or legendary heroes—they are graced with the name of heroes.

But this is only for those from the Main World. Many Natives Planes also call some powerful species that have reached Rank 8 with bloodline talents legendary, making the classification quite chaotic.

But they know in their hearts that these legendary Vampire Dukes who have reached Rank 8 through bloodline are not truly legendary.

“Boom!”

Charging into the Blood Realm like a shell, Lin Xiao’s Divine Power for protection collided with the domain power, triggering a terrifying impact that exploded forth, ripping a large chunk off the city-covering Blood Realm.

He thrust his Pure Gold Spear fiercely, and a golden translucent flame wrapped around the spearhead, forming an inverted triangular cone that effortlessly tore through the viscous blood, as a huge golden figure plunged deep into the expanse of the Blood Realm.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Blood Realm, Shen Yuexin raised her Forbidden Whip and lashed it violently. The blazing white lightning of the whip’s body suddenly swelled and extended indefinitely, turning into a lightning whip pillar thicker than a human and blasting into the Blood Realm. In an instant, the whip’s body brightened up, exploding into countless tiny lightning bolts spreading in all directions, its lightning Purification power instantaneously cleansing the Blood Realm within the reach of those tiny bolts.

In contrast to her overpowering whip, Lin Xu’s style was very understated, so much so that he didn’t even take action.
