Chapter 276: Chapter 275: The Formidable Ancient God!

Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing that Ghost Pupil had left his deity out in the open world, Du Gang put on a look of regret.

Ghost Pupil, seeing Du Gang’s expression, instantly flew into a rage.

“Do you think you can kill me?”

He was incredibly angry. Despite being a bronze-level assassin hired to kill, his target seemed to fancy himself capable of fighting back, even going so far as to ask whether his deity was left in the open.

Unforgivable!

Du Gang chuckled, “Exactly, I believe you will die today. You should be grateful that you have a deity left out there, else you’d surely be doomed by now.”

Though his adversary wasn’t an Ancient Demon, he decided to fish for more information.

“Who among the Ancient Demons sent you?”

“Ancient Demon?”

Ghost Pupil fell right into the trap. He sneered: “You actually think an Ancient Demon would bother to deal with you personally?”

Du Gang frowned, “Why not? I am an Ancient God. Shouldn’t the Ancient Demon fear me?”

“Why should they fear you?!”

Ghost Pupil scoffed, “You’re merely a God Spirit Level deity. No matter how talented you are, you’re nothing compared to an Ancient Demon!”

Du Gang got it – this blind youth didn’t understand causality and had no inkling of what the emergence of an Ancient God meant. But instead of explaining, he asked another question: “Where is the Demon Realm’s headquarters?”

He knew that he wouldn’t get a direct answer. He just wanted to see if those of lower ranks would know the location of their headquarters.

“Ha!”

Ghost Pupil laughed mockingly, “Why in the world would I tell you?”

He thought Du Gang was way too naive, asking him about the location of the Demon Realm’s headquarters when they were clearly enemies.

Du Gang, on the other hand, felt like he got the message. Ghost Pupil indeed knew the location of the Demon Realm’s headquarters.

This meant, everyone, even God Spirit Level assassins, had the chance of knowing where the Demon Realm’s headquarters was…

Ghost Pupil, however, lost his patience. He’d initially thought that the Ancient God would be formidable, but Du Gang was just a pompous fool with a low IQ in his view.

“Die!”

With a roar of rage, Ghost Pupil transformed into a rainbow-like figure and quickly dashed towards Du Gang.

“Bring it on!”

Du Gang let out a long cry, momentously brandishing a long spear, and met Ghost Pupil’s assault head-on.

“Boom!”

In that moment, the spear collided with the dagger.

Ghost Pupil held back from his strongest attack, merely trying to probe Du Gang, who used one of his Divine Power techniques that was the strongest he could muster up at this stage – Nael’s 300 Power.

As stated in the Way of the Soldier, every inch in length adds to potency. However, this was different. Du Gang’s spear, which was significantly longer, was being slightly pushed back by Ghost Pupil’s dagger.

“Heh, is that all you’ve got?”

Ghost Pupil sneered and launched his attack again, this time, his strongest one.

“Ghost Strangling!”

With an angry roar, an attack infused with the energy of 1400 Nael’s Divine Power emerged.

This was his limit. This attack indicated that he too had mastered the Supreme Technique and had honed it by 2%.

“He does possess a Divine Power Technique that goes above 1000!”

At this moment, the surrounding spectators realized this and their expressions read: “So it’s true”.

Qin Jingshuo, too, was astonished. The fact that anyone could randomly show up and have the ability to execute a 1400-level Divine Power Technique was incredible!

The Demon Clan’s reputation was truly deserved!

As for Du Gang, seeing this, he didn’t hesitate. In an instant, he activated the Jie-Character Secret and executed his most powerful attack.

World Creation!

This was a Supreme Technique amplified with ten times Combat Power.

He was only capable of using 300 Nael’s Technique according to his original Divine Power. Nevertheless, with the ten times amplification, the displayed might reached a staggering 3000 Nael’s Divine Power!

Terrifying!

Dangerous!

At this moment, Ghost Pupil instantly reacted. He was frightened by this powerful aura.

“Damn!”

It wasn’t just him. All the spectators were utterly shocked!

“That’s Du Gang, isn’t it?!”

“How could he possibly unleash such a terrifying Divine Power Technique?!!”

Shock overwhelmed Qin Jingshuo, alarm written all over his face, “He’s merely at the First Tribulation God Spirit Level…”

The same level as Du Gang, he could only execute a few hundred Nael’s Divine Power Technique, which already set him apart amongst his peers in the Big Dragon Pit. However, Du Gang was able to release a Divine Power Technique at a 3000 Nael level!

This meant that even some weaker Ninth Tribulation God Spirit Level beings theoretically were less powerful than him – of course, this was only theoretically.

Nevertheless, it was inconceivably terrifying. Even if Zhu Qing tried to hide her strength, there was still a limit. At most, she could only reach a few hundred Nael’s Divine Power Technique level, no more than that.

“Swish!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Ghost Pupil swiftly reacted. He ripped off the white cloth covering his eyes, revealing his terrifying, scar-ridden eyes that reflected horrific white light.

“What kind of eyes are those?”

Some couldn’t help but swallow, heart pounding. They found Ghost Pupil’s eyes terrifying – they didn’t look human.

“Ugh~!”

An eerie sound, one that none had heard before, suddenly resonated.

Following that, an aura seemingly hailing from the underworld spread out in all directions.

Everyone present involuntarily shivered at that moment.

“My body has been divinized. How could it possibly feel cold?”

The crowd found the situation utterly absurd. Their divine bodies feeling cold?

But that was what they were experiencing, not just them; even Du Gang, who was right in front of Ghost Pupil, felt a bone-chilling cold that was forcing him to stutter slightly.

“Die!”

After revealing his eerie eyes, Ghost Pupil became exceedingly gruesome and brutal. His entire body’s musculature expanded noticeably at that instant.

Not only did his outward appearance change, his previously 1400 Nael’s Divine Power Technique also received an unknown boost and doubled.

“2800 Nael’s Divine Power Technique!”

At that moment, Ghost Pupil’s attack had escalated to the horrifying level of 2800 Nael’s Divine Power Technique!

Though it was still 200 less than Du Gang’s 3000 Nael’s Divine Power Technique, it was almost at the same level.

“Boom!”

Their attacks collided, creating an explosion of brilliant sparks momentarily before dissipating.

“So strong!”

Caught in the terror-inducing aura’s influence, everyone began falling back involuntarily. They retreated tens of meters before managing to stop, only feeling a sense of safety at that distance.

Both the Demon Clan and the human race spectators were astounded by the fight’s intensity, especially regarding Du Gang, “He also is only at the First Tribulation God Spirit Level!”

“Indeed, Ghost Pupil is strong, but he has already reached the Third Tribulation God Spirit Level that has a six times multiplier…”

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

The two engaged in a clash of punches and kicks. Every move emitted a terrifying power that sends shivers down the spine.

“Impossible!”

Ghost Pupil might appear cool and collected at the moment, but his shaking voice betrayed his fear, “How can you be this strong?”

He could not believe it, he even used the Ghost Pupil, which had a doubling effect.

Don’t underestimate this doubling effect, it increased everything across the board. Not only was his Divine Power, Divine Thought, and so on strengthened, but his divine abilities also doubled.

In the past, he’d killed many difficult enemies with this effect. But now, his once invincible methods seemed to be impractical.

“Humph!”

Du Gang sneered, “I don’t believe you can use such explosive techniques all the time. Once your ability runs out of time, it will be your death!”

Damn it!

Ghost Pupil cursed silently.

Indeed, there was a time limit to his use of Ghost Pupil.

As for Du Gang…

Looking at Du Gang’s confident demeanor and his certain he would outlast him, he shook his head inwardly.

I can’t keep this up, he’ll drain me eventually!

What to do?

Should I abandon my physical form and recreate it later?

No, that’s too costly!

This time, he made a big mistake, daring to kill him face to face.

I am an assassin, for God’s sake!

Ghost Pupil was a bit annoyed; he was too eager to compete with the Ancient God, leaving himself in a very passive situation.

In fact, if he were to assassinate from the shadows, it wouldn’t matter if Du Gang had three thousand Naer divine power abilities, or even three thousand five, Ghost Pupil was still confident he could successfully assassinate him.

Time to retreat!

Ghost Pupil finally made up his mind in the blink of an eye.

“Die!”

On the surface, he was all in for a desperate fight.

“Boom!”

After a strong attack, Ghost Pupil started to emit an even more gloomy aura, as if preparing for a decisive move.

Seeing this, Du Gang stopped in his tracks, preparing to deal with it seriously.

“The apex showdown is about to begin!”

Everyone else was too excited to keep their calm at this scene, wishing they could get a closer look.

However, at this moment, something none of them expected happened.

It was seen that after throwing an intensely blinking light towards Du Gang, Ghost Pupil began to retreat rapidly. In an instant, he’d widened the distance between them, fleeing towards the outskirts.

“Where do you think you’re going!!!”

Du Gang, in the rear, dissipated the light and immediately began to give chase while shouting.

And so, one running in front and one chasing behind, they quickly disappeared near the Big Dragon Pit.

The remaining crowd looked on with deep emotion, starting a discussion.

“These two are incredibly strong!”

“Yes, this is definitely the strongest battle I’ve ever seen!”

Two people with nearly three thousand Naer divine power abilities — it was beyond everyone’s imaginations.

Qin Jingshuo said with emotion, “But, the most outrageous is Du Gang. He’s just First Tribulation God Spirit but can fight toe to toe with an assassin from the Demon Clan who’s a Third Tribulation God Spirit….”

“No, this guy actually chased after that assassin from the Demon Clan, shows his power is stronger!”

We can imagine once today’s events get out, Du Gang’s name will reverberate throughout the entire second layer of the Abyss.

On the other hand, the Demon Clan members looked a bit more flustered. They were naturally serious, looking as if they’d met a grave crisis.

Du Gang was a human, and the emergence of such a top talent among the humans was not good news for them.

Soon, all the members of the Demon Clan had left. Just by their hurried steps, everyone could tell; they were definitely going to report this.

“Do you guys think the Demon Clan will put out a warrant for Du Gang?”

Someone asked such a question.

Qin Jingshuo shook his head and laughed dumbly, “Whether they put out a warrant or not, it’s all within the Demon Clan…it doesn’t affect us much…”

“For genius warriors, being hunted by the Demon Clan is also an honor. It means that their power has been recognized by the enemy…”

….

At this moment, Du Gang didn’t chase the Ghost Pupil as everyone expected him to.

As soon as he was out of everyone’s sight, he had directly returned to the altar.

“Lucky his IQ isn’t high enough, or I would’ve been exposed!”

Du Gang said with a beaming smile.

Actually, it was him who had a time limit on his own explosive power, so he made the first move. This tactic had no added advantage, its only purpose was to save face and keep the enemy clueless about his true situation.

If he had known earlier that Ghost Pupil could have exerted twenty-eight hundred Naer divine power abilities, he definitely wouldn’t have fought.

Initially, he wanted to destroy him instantly, but things didn’t go as planned, and Ghost Pupil unleashed his terrifying power.

“This guy, he should be able to figure it out afterward, right?!”

After some careful thought, Du Gang felt that he should still be relatively safe, so he sat down cross-legged to continue cultivating his Supreme Technique.

….

On the other hand, Ghost Pupil ran away from the abyss without looking back, returning to the Dragon Inn.

“Sir, did you fail?”

The Demon Clan elder responsible for communication looked at him in surprise, finding it hard to believe.

This was a bronze-ranked assassin; even he failed?!

A bronze-ranked god-level assassin, the strongest existence at the God Spirit level, had failed like this…

“Sir, how could that Ancient God, who is merely First Tribulation God Spirit, beat you?”

First Tribulation God Spirit…

Ghost Pupil seemed to be awakened as if by an epiphany.

Right, Du Gang was just a First Tribulation God Spirit!

Meaning, even if his advancement in Supreme Technique was very fast reaching five percent, his divine power limit should only be five hundred Naer at most.

This indicates the one who really exploded and had a time limit was him!

He lacked time more urgently than I did!

Ghost Pupil thought it through carefully, noticing that barely anyone chased him in the later part.

Think about it, and he was annoyed.

“I was bluffed by him?”

Damn it, was it because of the words ‘Ancient God’?

He admitted that he did not think much about it since he thought that as an Ancient God, Du Gang should be that powerful.

But now that he thought about it, even an Ancient Demon still needed to follow the rules!

Seeing his expression, the elder immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that even Ghost Pupil couldn’t do anything, but now it seemed that he clearly still had a way.

“Sir, what are you going to…”

Ghost Pupil nodded, saying seriously, “Before, I had the competitive impulse to fight him, but now it seems unnecessary!”

“He is an Ancient God, and I am a demon realm’s assassin; my goal is to murder him. As long as I kill him, there’s no need for a fight…”

He was resolute, “Moreover, if I want to compete, I’ll do it with an Ancient Demon!”

“So, the next time I meet him, I will take his life!”

This time, he had figured it out. He would sneak over and perform a one-shot-kill!
