Ye Yu’s smile felt like an inexplicable mockery to Cai Banjian.

A mere Golden God Realm godling—what right did he have to display a smile that looked as though he controlled everything?

What right did you have?

You should be afraid!

Cai Banjian stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of Ye Yu.

He stomped down fiercely, and the ground trembled violently.

Four stone pillars engraved with strange totems burst from the earth, completely sealing off every path behind Ye Yu through which he might escape.

Immediately afterward, a paper fan appeared in Cai Banjian’s right hand and slashed forward.

Its speed was so fast that there was no time to react.

Seeing that there was nowhere to dodge and nowhere to retreat, Ye Yu simply chose not to evade at all.

He allowed the paper fan to strike his arm!

Seeing this, a flash of delight passed through Cai Banjian’s eyes.

What a madman!

The ribs of the paper fan in his hand had been refined from the bones of a Demon Wolf at the Divine Lord Realm.

When swung, it summoned the lingering soul of the beast from its former life to strike with its claws, unstoppable and invincible.

Even Ancient Demons famed for their powerful physiques would be unable to block it.

And yet you, a mere Ghost God, actually think you can withstand this strike head on. That is nothing but a fool’s dream!

"Howl!"

A gigantic phantom of a wolf demon suddenly appeared above the paper fan and slashed its claw toward Ye Yu.

Without question, once this strike landed, Ye Yu would be cut into three or four pieces.

But the smooth sensation he expected never appeared.

Instead, there was only a faint, weightless sound.

[Snap!]

An extremely subtle noise—so quiet it could almost be ignored.

Cai Banjian stared at Ye Yu in disbelief.

He could not understand what had just happened.

Why had Ye Yu blocked his full powered strike so easily?

It was completely unreasonable. It simply violated all logic.

No... at the very moment the blow struck Ye Yu, it seemed as though the divine power inside his body had also vanished.

Although such a thing sounded like a fairy tale and should have been utterly impossible, Cai Banjian could still remember the sensation clearly.

Falling from the position of a god into a mortal.

Losing all strength.

Becoming helpless and unsupported.

Before Cai Banjian could think further, Ye Yu’s attack had already arrived.

"This is no time to lose focus. You will die."

Upon hearing those words, Cai Banjian instinctively opened the paper fan in his hand and raised it before himself to defend.

A layer of blue light suddenly appeared, forming a protective barrier around his entire body.

This gave Cai Banjian a strong sense of security.

Unfortunately, that was only what he believed.

Ye Yu threw out a punch while simultaneously activating Servitude of the Gods.

In an instant, everything in the surrounding area was coated with a layer of gray.

The blue barrier completely dissipated.

The paper fan also lost all of its brilliance.

Cai Banjian’s eyes widened uncontrollably. That sensation appeared again.

The divine power within his body vanished completely without a trace.

At this moment, Cai Banjian even felt as though he had turned into an ordinary mortal with no power whatsoever.

Such a feeling had never appeared during his long years of life.

Yet before he could properly process it, an incomparably powerful force surged toward him from the front.

[Snap!]

Cai Banjian was blasted away like a cannonball.

More than half of the Lieyang Gate was destroyed in an instant.

Not far away, Xiao Cui’s expression changed drastically. She could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Defeating a Divine Lord Realm expert in a single instant.

Even though she had already known that Ye Yu was extremely strong, witnessing it again was still utterly shocking.

"Is... is he dead?"

Unlike Xiao Cui’s astonishment, Ye Yu frowned.

Something felt wrong.

Very wrong.

Under normal circumstances, once Ye Yu used Servitude of the Gods, with his powerful physique a single punch would be enough to extinguish a life.

Even a Divine Lord Realm expert would die on the spot.

But the feeling when he struck Cai Banjian just now had been completely off.

He should not have been sent flying.

Just as Ye Yu suspected, the situation was indeed abnormal.

From within the dust cloud, Cai Banjian walked out.

Half of his body had already disappeared, yet he was still stubbornly alive.

"How... how did you do that? You completely cut off my divine power. What kind of divine technique is that?"

As he spoke, Cai Banjian’s body began to tremble violently, then underwent a massive transformation.

Within a single breath, he turned into a gigantic nine eyed scorpion.

The missing half of his body had been replaced by a massive pair of pincers.

A dense aura of a demon god spread throughout the area.

His enormous body created an overwhelming pressure.

However, Ye Yu’s gaze locked onto the red pendant hanging from his neck.

Although it appeared unremarkable, it allowed Ye Yu to instantly understand why Cai Banjian had survived that punch.

Eight Kings Blood Jade.

It was known as one of the ten most mysterious divine artifacts in the God Realm.

Ye Yu had previously seen its description in the illustrated catalogue given to him by Old Ge.

According to the legends, as long as blood essence was stored inside it, when the user reached the brink of death it would trigger rapid healing and restore them to peak condition.

It was essentially a resurrection armor worn on the back.

Or, more accurately, an external blood reservoir.

As long as there was enough blood essence stored inside, the user would become nearly impossible to kill.

A completely outrageous cheat artifact.

Who would have thought that Cai Banjian, this pathetic fool, would possess such incredible luck and obtain such a divine artifact.

Could it be that he saved the world in his previous life?

It was truly infuriating to look at!

Having transformed into a nine eyed scorpion, Cai Banjian let out a sinister laugh.

"It does not matter if you refuse to say anything. Once I kill you, I can simply extract every answer from your divine soul. Why would I waste time talking here?"

Ye Yu could not help but frown slightly.

Using Servitude of the Gods twice in succession had already nearly drained his divine power.

Under these circumstances, the situation was not very favorable.

Just as Cai Banjian raised his massive pincers and prepared to charge forward, a golden spear suddenly pierced straight through his chest from behind.

Immediately afterward, blazing divine flames completely engulfed him.

It was Zhu Xincheng.

She had already finished dealing with several elders of Lieyang Gate and rushed over to provide support.

Her timing could not have been better.

Seeing this, Ye Yu did not remain where he was. He instantly rushed forward at top speed, ignoring the divine flames, and grabbed the Eight Kings Blood Jade from Cai Banjian’s neck and tore it away!

Cai Banjian tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

Under the burning of the divine flames, he rolled on the ground in agony as his aura continuously weakened.

"Ah!!!"

"You will never be able to keep the secret of the divine mine forever! You will all die because of your greed!"

After leaving behind those final words, Cai Banjian died on the spot.

Turning into a charcoal roasted giant scorpion.
