Fifteen apex High-Level Deities with a Divine Office, oh my God! Who is their enemy?
As the Chief Elven Priestess observed the Dragon Head Ring in her hand, she became more fearful.
There was a large disparity between the power of apex High-Level Deities that had a Divine Office and those that didn’t have one, and this disparity would probably reach several folds or even a dozen folds or more.
A person able to kill fifteen apex High-Level Deities with a single sword strike was already so terrifying, and killing fifteen apex High-Level Deities with a Divine Office that belonged to Solomon Divine Branch was more astounding. The terrifying power of their enemy was really unimaginable!
The peerless powerhouses training in seclusion in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils were really no small matter!
The Chief Elven Priestess and the Sword God exchanged a glance, and they both saw the shock apparent in each other’s eyes, while Raymond’s instructions emerged again in their minds.



Priestess, what is the matter with those rings of Solomon Divine Branch?
After Yang Ling recalled the Nine-Dragon Divine Ring in his spatial ring and the Battle Soul Blade that nailed the husky man in black armor in the castle at the seabed, he got quite confused, and he detected intense danger.
An expert with a ring that had a single dragon’s head possessing an apex High-Level Deity’s power and the power of the husky man in black armor with nine dragon’s heads was too terrifying. He was probably more powerful than the black-robed old man Artest and Raymond.
According to his observation of the state of the castle at the seabed, the husky man in black armor was a bitter enemy of Ancient Wizards. The plaza was filled with all kinds of corpses of High-Level Divine Beasts, as well as innumerable corpses of ordinary soldiers and Magical Beasts. According to the Sea Tribes’ legend, it was obvious that the army of the husky man in black armor was annihilated, and the castle at the seabed also suffered grave damage. This was why the ancient wizards were forced to leave hurriedly before clearing the battlefield.
According to what the Chief Elven Priestess had said, Solomon Divine Branch was one of the few great factions in the Main Plane of Chaos, and it was also one of the few factions able to contend against the City Amongst the Clouds. If the husky man in black armor was really Solomon Divine Branch’s apex expert, then this meant that Solomon Divine Branch was a bitter enemy of Ancient Wizards, and they would affect Yang Ling’s pursuit over Ancient Wizards’ tracks.

If Solomon Divine Branch’s experts discovered that I’m related to Ancient Wizards, I will be in trouble.
After Yang Ling observed the five Godheads, he was astounded further, and he felt great pressure weighing upon his shoulders.
It wouldn’t be an issue for him to deal with an ordinary High-Level Deity with his current power and the power of the Magical Beast Army. But, dealing with an apex High-Level Deity would be difficult, and even if he tamed eight or ten God-Level Magical Beasts in a short time, he still wouldn’t be able to deal with the powerful Solomon Divine Branch. Putting aside everything, he would be in great trouble if they just sent several apex High-Level Deities after him.

This is the case unless I can quickly become a High-Level Soul Wizard and help the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and others to advance into the God-Level, as well as comprehend the Mighty Beasts Domain, or if I can revive the Golden Roc Divine Beast within the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension in a short while.

As Yang Ling stroked the Battle Soul Blade on his back and detected its unyielding Battle Soul and intense murderous aura that it inherited from the Ancient Wizards, he became quite confident and quickly found a way to deal with the issue. The Ancient Wizard that killed the husky man in black armor with a single black strike, as well as innumerable High-Level Divine Beasts, boosted his courage.
As long as the Battle Soul came out, the whole world would change color.
As long as he advanced into a High-Level Soul Wizard and got enough Wizard Power and Mental Energy to use the Battle Soul Blade, then he could kill any enemies that came after him as long as he used the Spatial Fetters and Teleportation Wizard Spell with the blade.


Different situations call for different actions!
If a single God-Level Magical Beast wasn’t a match for them, then he would just summon a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand. He would also set up traps and Restriction Spells before ganging up on the enemies and poisoning them. There was always a way to get rid of the enemies!

A lion coat of arms is carved on those rings, and the word ‘Solomon’ is also carved on them. This is why those fifteen experts are obviously members of Solomon Divine Branch.
The Chief Elven Priestess muttered to herself irresolutely for a moment before she paused and said,
According to what I know, all people with a Divine Office in any kinds of Divine Branch will get a Dragon-Head Ring, and it’s only the coat of arms and name carved on the rings that varied. A person who has a Dragon-Head Divine Ring isn’t necessarily a member of Solomon Divine Branch.

The Chief Elven Priestess took a breath before she started talking about the Divine Branches’ introduction that she had once read in an ancient book.
According to the records in the ancient books, experts who practiced until the peak of the High-Level Deity Stage would get three options. They would either join another person’s Divine Branch and strive hard to make a contribution to get a Divine Office bestowed by a Divine Lord and share his believers’ Wish Power, or they could come up with a way to spread their belief by themselves and strive hard to one day become an independent Divine Lord, or even a powerful Plane Guardian.
As for the last option, it was concentrating on practicing different Laws. They wouldn’t depend on Wish Power to make advancement, and this was why they might be able to become a powerful Plane Wanderer.
No matter if one joined another person’s Divine Branch or spread his belief by himself, he would still craft a Dragon-Head Divine Ring upon getting a Divine Office, and he would use it to absorb the believers’ Wish Power. All rings were practically of the same size, but the designs, coat of arms, and name carved on them were different.

It turns out that it’s like this. Priestess, thank you.
Yang Ling took out the Nine Dragon Divine Ring in his spatial ring, and after he ascertained that it didn’t have a lion picture or Solomon’s name, he heaved a sigh of relief.
After Yang Ling ascertained that the husky man in black armor wasn’t apex expert of Solomon, he didn’t have to worry about having a conflict with the powerful Solomon Divine Branch, and he also didn’t have to worry about the hunt of peerless powerhouses. The most ideal situation possible was that the Divine Branch that the husky man in black armor belonged to was already exterminated, and he wouldn’t ever get any trouble due to them.

Priestess, do those rings have another function other than absorbing believers’ Wish Power?
The Corpse Wizard King was quite interested in info about Divine Branch, and he was even more interested in those rings.


If those rings could be used for offense or defense, then wouldn’t this be tantamount to picking fifteen Divine Weapons?

This is… I’m not sure whether they have any other functions.
The Chief Elven Priestess shook her head. The ancient book had just a brief introduction about Divine Branches, and she wasn’t aware of the concrete situation.

Yang Ling, you should take all those rings. I just want a Force-Attribute Godhead.
The Sword God chuckled and took Force-Attribute Godhead. He had already practiced to the peak of the Mid-Level Stage, and he didn’t care about anything. But he still urgently needed the Godhead of a Force-Attribute High-Level Deity.

I just want that Life-Attribute Godhead. Yang Ling, you should quickly take the others. The Graveyard of Gods and Devils is quite dangerous, and we must quickly leave this place.
The Chief Elven Priestess extended her hand and took the Life-Attribute Godhead before she instructed Yang Ling to collect the other Godheads and rings. She planned to leave quickly!
The altar inside the temple emitted intense Death Aura, and after the Protective Magical Formation Spell was destroyed, this aura spread far away. This aura might attract the attention of many demons or High-Level Divine Beasts at any moment, and this was why an accident might occur if they didn’t leave quickly.

Rodriguez, hurry up and search this place to verify whether we have missed any treasures.
Yang Ling passed down orders and ignored the red-eyed Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and others. He quickly collected the Dragon-Head Rings and the remaining three Godheads.
The Graveyard of Gods and Devils was really filled with perils like what the Chief Elven Priestess had said, and they must leave quickly. In addition, Yang Ling was still perplexed about whoever he should give the three Godheads to. The Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, Dark Dragon King, Burning Fire Elf King, and others were close to advancing into the God-Level, and they all coveted and drooled over them. This was why it wasn’t easy for him to make a choice in a short while.

Well, what is this?

After the beauty Sala turned over the armor left by a corpse, she inadvertently discovered a black book with pages made out of a thin hide. Yang Ling quickly took the book and rummaged through it. He found out that it had sloppy handwriting, and it recorded various matters. It seemed like a notebook or a travel book. There were a few sloppy big words on its cover, and they were ‘Armstrong Solomon’.
Death Note!


The notebook’s owner had died innumerable years ago, and he had already turned into a skeleton. Yet, the notebook was preserved, and it was still intact because it was made out well.
After Yang Ling rummaged through it and saw page upon page filled with sloppy handwriting, he furrowed his brows and collected it casually. This book probably recorded the reason behind the dead people’s intrusion into the temple, and it might also have recorded a secret unbeknownst to people. This was why it had a high value!
Roar!
After Yang Ling collected the notebook, a deafening roar echoed out from the horizon. As time passed, the sound turned more distinct and closer to them. It seemed like a demon or a High-Level Divine Beast was rushing toward them.

Yang Ling, let’s leave, let’s leave quickly. If we don’t leave now, we won’t have enough time to do so.

The Corpse Wizard King, Giant Ape King, and the others, who were Yang Ling’s subordinates, were still rummaging everywhere and collecting the spatial rings, jewelry, and even the leather armor of the dead men. They plundered this place crazily as if they wished to take even the ground with them. When the Chief Elven Priestess saw this, she couldn’t help but shake her head, and she spoke nervously before she retreated quickly with the Sword God. They withdrew from the valley at their highest speed!
As the distant roar got closer, it was followed by wave upon wave of intense Energy Ripples. No matter if it was a demon or a Divine Beast, it still possessed at least a High-Level Deity’s power, and there were still roars transmitted from other directions. If they didn’t leave now, they wouldn’t have enough time to do so.

Fine, let’s leave, let’s leave quickly.

Yang Ling looked at the temple that he still didn’t search carefully, as well as the mysterious altar before he gritted his teeth and read in silence the Wizard Mantra. He cast the Object Assimilating Restriction Spell and moved the giant altar into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. Soon after, he quickly followed the Chief Elven Priestess’s group along with the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and others. They left the valley at their highest speed and disappeared among the boundless forest.
…



Damn it! We were again a little late.

After the crowd had just left, a group of Abyssal Demons that were patrolling in a region a thousand miles from their destination rushed over quickly. After they detected the intense Death Energy released by the altar, they rushed over quickly, and they didn’t expect that they would be a little late.
