Chapter 919: The Battle Begins


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


In the sky outside Asura City, Asura was floating while wearing golden armor and his hair in a ponytail like before. His wicked face was completely emotionless as he looked at the army of gods underneath.


The army of gods were standing on the ground while the ancient gods and Brunhild were flying in the air.


“You all leading the gods underneath, why have you come to my Asura City?”


A smile appeared on Asura’s wicked face when he spoke while looking at the five ancient gods. When he finished, he took note of Brunhilda, and curiosity appeared in his eyes.


“When did another ancient goddess appear in Lanlou?”


The five ancient gods didn’t reply to Asura’s question. Some of them had sneers on their faces while others had cold expressions.


Brunhilda tucked her hair back and said with a calm expression, “I am the new ancient goddess of Lakshmi City. If you haven’t forgotten, then you have something of Ancient Goddess Lakshmi. I have come to retrieve it in her place.”


Asura nodded and said with some surprise in his voice, “No wonder, Lanlou has a new ancient goddess. Such a thing can only happen in the territory of that disappointing sister.”


Apart from Ancient Goddess Lakshmi, the other ancient gods all used the power of belief to strengthen themselves. The amount necessary to ancient gods was extremely large, so power of belief was viewed as a precious treasure.


Asura had known that the four ancestors secretly stole part of power of belief for cultivation because he counted how much was offered to him every year, so as soon as the amount was smaller, he immediately knew that something was off.


The other five ancient gods did the same. Because of this, it was completely impossible for an ancient god to appear from the subordinates of Asura or the five ancient gods. Only Ancient Goddess Lakshmi and the music clans of Laksmi City stored the power of belief in their instruments.


Ancient god realm was difficult to reach without relying on power of belief, but it wasn’t impossible, so one ancient god being born in Lakshmi City was completely reasonable.


“If little sister left something here, why don’t I know about it?” Asura asked without changing his expression.


The five ancient gods sneered at him, while Brunhilda smiled. She then said, “Asura really knows how to joke. I wonder whether you have already swallowed Ancient Goddess Lakshmi’s soul.”


The smile at the corners of Asura’s lips froze, and he looked at Brunhilda without saying anything else. He hadn’t thought that Lakshmi City’s new ancient goddess would directly say such a thing in front of the five ancient gods.


Even if he possessed the strength of a quasi master god, he needed time to completely devour Ancient Goddess Lakshmi’s soul. If he didn’t enter seclusion and wholeheartedly focus on fusing with it for a long time, he would have to divide a portion of his strength to suppress it.


Speaking of which, the five ancient gods already knew how much strength Asura possessed. But most likely because of the words of the newly advanced ancient goddess, they had decided to jointly attack him.


That put Asura in a difficult situation, and Ancient Goddess Lakshmi’s situation should be known by everyone anyway. She only existed as a part of a soul, so she should also be concerned about the five ancient gods, why were they acting like this then?


“Still pretending, Asura. I ask, why did you display your strength when dealing with your sons? It was to put a fear toward you in the heart of us five ancient gods so that we would retreat.”


Yaksha swayed the divine prong in his heart, causing a strong smell of blood to spread through the air.


“Asura, we were born at the same time, so we understand each other all too well. We are completely clear about the amount of strength you can use at this moment. I want to ask you one question now though, are you finally regretting stealing the Heavenly Grand Ritual and forcing us five ancient gods and Ancient Goddess Liu Qing to collaborate?”


The crack between Yaksha’s eyebrows opened, revealing his divine eye. After forming the alliance, Ancient Goddess Liu Qing had told them about the true situation of Ancient Goddess Lakshmi. Once the five gods understood it, they became even more certain about being able to deal with Asura.


Asura was startled by Indra’s words. “Heavenly Grand Ritual was in your hands, so why are you looking for me after losing it?”


When he said that, the five ancient gods sneered again. The man could really act!


The next instant, the five ancient gods’ divine power bubbled forth as each of them threw their bloodline ability toward Asura. Brunhilda transformed into an afterimage to look for a chance to attack.


Multicolored lights blossomed in the sky as ancient god’s presences spread everywhere.


Asura avoided all the ancient gods’ divine techniques while being on alert about Brunhilda hiding in the surroundings.


“Don’t force me, or no one will come out intact. I have never touched your Heavenly Grand Ritual.”


Yaksha stopped in midair, and the divine prong in his hand flickered with golden light. It fused with his bloodline, which was extremely devilish.


“I will believe your ghost! You are the biggest liar! Asura, I will kill you today.”


Asura felt very sullen after hearing him. He had hid his strength during the attack on the Land of Ice, but when he went to devour Ancient Goddess Lakshmi, something went wrong. Even so, he remained calm and unhurried. It was mainly because his strength was the highest among the seven ancient gods and the closest to master god realm.


When Ancient Goddess Lakshmi and the five ancient gods thought to collaborate, Asura used the four ancestors to attract the five ancient gods and revealed his true strength, which made them retreat in apprehension. Everything went according to his plan.


What had happened then? Why did the five ancient gods suddenly say that he had stolen Heavenly Grand Ritual when he didn’t know anything about it?


He could only guess that someone behind the scenes was framing him. When he thought of that possibility, he felt even more sullen. Who was it that had such large guts to scheme against him and the five ancient gods?


In the residences of the four clans of Asura City, the clan patriarchs of each clan summoned the elders of Elder Council to discuss how to deploy troops in the battle of gods. Everyone sensed the pressure of ancient gods’ presence outside, and a hint of panic was on their faces.


“So they have started fighting for real!”


The four clan patriarchs turned to look outside and wondered whether they should use their full strength in the war or save some of it to make sure that the descendants who hadn’t matured yet could escape Lanlou. None of the four patriarchs had anticipated that the battle gods would begin so quickly.


During the first battle of gods, the ancient gods of Lanlou had first tested each other and only small scale conflicts erupted. Only after a very long time did the seven ancient gods finally start the genuine battle of gods and contested each other over territory.


But this time was completely different. The five ancient gods allied with Lakshmi CIty and dispatched soldiers toward Asura City without any warning. The speed of events was extremely fast, as if everyone wanted to deal with Asura as fast as possible.


When faced with five ancient gods together with an unfamiliar ancient goddess, regardless of how formidable Asura was, he was still an ancient god who hadn’t crossed into master god realm. It was extremely hard to say who would win in such a battle.


Because of that, the four clan patriarchs ordered a few god elders to take the clan’s younger generation and leave Lanlou immediately.


If the situation stabilized, the elders could return with the younger generation, but if Asura lost the war, they could settle in the Ancient Lands which didn’t have any gods anymore.
