Chapter 365: Divine Might, Reinforcents Arrive
“Bai Fu?”
Aetheron was utterly shocked.
Lufas and Bai Fu had appeared on Holy Land Star at the sa ti. Lufas was trying to take away the Fourth Apostle, while Bai Fu was covering for him.
What the hell kind of plot twist was this?
Hadn’t Lufas just attacked Bai Fu not long ago, beating her into a fool? How did they suddenly beco allies now?
Forget it—there was no point in dwelling on that.
Aetheron had seen countless storms in his lifeti, and what he was doing now was a first-rate, world-shaking affair. He had already steeled himself ntally, so no matter how strange or bizarre the situation beca, he wouldn’t lose his composure.
So what if Bai Fu and Lufas had temporarily joined forces?
That changed nothing about the outco!
Bai Fu couldn’t defeat him.
Lufas couldn’t defeat him.
Did they really think that two of his defeated subordinates combined could stop him?
Ridiculous.
Perhaps, before today, there might have been a sliver of a chance—but now he had successfully absorbed the vitality and power of nurous followers from the Apostolic Holy City. There was no way such a thing could happen anymore.
“That gigantic god-like body—did you summon that too? Interesting. I’ve never seen such a power before. It seems you’ve gained new insight.”
Aetheron smiled faintly at Bai Fu, then suddenly shouted into the void.
“Lufas! I’ll let you run for five minutes. After five minutes, I’ll show you what ‘omnipresence’ truly ans!”
“Five minutes?” Bai Fu curled her lips. “You really think you can deal with in five minutes?”
Aetheron shook his head. “Five minutes are what I’m giving Lufas. As for taking care of you—honestly, that won’t even take five minutes.”
Boom!
The mont his words fell, the twin-helix tree coiled with over a dozen followers suddenly twisted violently.
The branches writhed beneath Aetheron’s feet like surging black-and-white flas, framing him—who floated above them—as if he were a sage who had seen through all truths of the world, his entire being emanating an aura so holy it made others feel unworthy.
How could one even describe that feeling?
It was the kind that made one want to kneel just by looking at him.
【How could Aetheron be so wise, so intelligent? Compared to him, I’m like an illiterate fool. How could I possibly fight him? He is the true saint of the Psionic (Dark Energy) Path. His words are law, his will unshakable. All who seek enlightennt in Psionics (Dark Energy) can only follow the path he has paved, never to question him!】
Damn it!
Bai Fu shook her head hard, forcing the strange thoughts out of her mind.
There hadn’t been any ga prompt indicating an attack, yet she had still been influenced by the Supre God’s Disciple.
What kind of power was this?
A domain?
No—that couldn’t be. Even a Transcendent Domain wasn’t this strong.
Could it be that the Supre God’s Disciple had truly touched the realm of “God”?
Even she—on the verge of completing her fourth divine tamorphosis, a Transcendent no weaker than most who had already achieved four—was being affected. To say that the Supre God’s Disciple was nearly divine didn’t seem wrong.
Bullshit.
That was a huge problem!
If the Supre God’s Disciple really beca a god… wouldn’t that trigger the arrival of the Reaper?
“Interrupt him!”
Bai Fu dared not delay another second. She imdiately commanded the massive divine body and Hei Fu to launch an assault on the Supre God’s Disciple.
Aetheron remained calm even as they attacked from front and rear.
No matter how you struggle, it’s futile. I’ve already stepped onto that path. You… still have a long way to go before you can reclaim the title of True God of the Ethereal Realm.
Today, I don’t care if you’re Hei Fu, Bai Fu, or Transparent Fu—once you face , you’ll all beco Dead Fu!
Aetheron neither dodged nor defended. He transford into a great tree rooted in space itself, manipulating the purest Psionic, Dark Energy, and Ethereal Realm Particles to counterattack against Hei Fu and the god-body controlled by Bai Fu.
Such a savage fighting style—Bai Fu had only ever seen it in herself before.
Now, she had finally t an opponent worthy of it.
But she had to admit—the Supre God’s Disciple was a terrifying foe who inspired involuntary fear.
His power had already been monstrous; now that he had turned over a dozen followers of the Apostolic Holy City into his own nourishnt, he had beco even more horrifying.
Relying on the massive divine body, Bai Fu could barely hold her own for now—but once its invincibility faded…
She was screwed.
There was no way she could defeat the Supre God’s Disciple head-on.
Through Apostle Vision, she could see with her own eyes that the Supre God’s Disciple’s HP bar was constantly lengthening, his stats slowly climbing over ti. In contrast, the followers bound by the twin-helix tree were rapidly deteriorating—their values dropping across the board, each one in a miserable state.
“We can only hope Hiye and Jin Lu manage to free them. If the two of them can rescue those trapped followers and gather everyone’s strength, we might be able to slay the Supre God’s Disciple here today. Otherwise, this will get ugly.”
Bai Fu activated every skill she had; even the Titan Holy Shield never left her side.
But that only protected her from harm—it couldn’t inflict any real damage on the Supre God’s Disciple.
The longer it dragged on, the worse things would get for her.
As their clash raged, Aetheron suddenly stopped.
Spatial fluctuation?
Had Lufas returned?
Oh.
No.
It was just two little ones—bearing the aura of Void Lords, yet far weaker than true Void Lords.
Aetheron’s gaze fell upon Hiye and Jin Lu, who had suddenly appeared beside the First Candidate God’s Disciple, Weipses.
The two worked together seamlessly, their palms forming blades wreathed in vibrating space-cutting edges, slashing hard at the branches binding Weipses.
Crack!
The branches snapped—but Weipses wasn’t freed. Almost instantly, new branches sprouted from the severed stumps, tangling him again.
“No good! We’ll have to cut them all off in one go!”
Hiye and Jin Lu exchanged glances, each taking one side, hacking away furiously—slash after slash after slash.
But soon, they both stopped.
The branches they’d just severed didn’t “die.”
Instead, they beca even more active—swelling and twisting like chanical arms, crackling as they lashed toward the two of them.
“Not good!”
Hiye and Jin Lu’s faces changed drastically. Without daring to pause for even a second, they dove into the void passage they had just opened, narrowly avoiding the encroaching branches.
Hiye’s face darkened as she glared at the ever-tightening vines around Weipses. “Sister, looks like we’ll have to use the rough way—tear the branches and that guy apart together! He’s a triple-tamorphosed Transcendent; even if his body gets shredded, he shouldn’t die!”
Jin Lu nodded in agreent and was just about to act when Bai Fu’s voice suddenly echoed in their minds.
“Retreat—now! If you don’t, it’ll be too late! Go to the place we hid before, I’ll find you right away!”
Hiye and Jin Lu’s hearts tensed.
Floating high above, they quickly looked down—and what they saw below left them utterly shocked.
Branches. Branches everywhere.
Without anyone noticing, the entire Holy Land Star had been pierced through by countless black-and-white tendrils from the twin-helix tree, riddled with gaping holes as if the planet itself were impaled and bound.
All across the Holy Land Star, wails and screams filled the air.
More and more people were being ensnared by those branches—followers of the Apostolic Holy City.
As for Shadow Foxtail and the Players, they had already received Bai Fu’s ergency alert and had run fast and far, successfully avoiding the crisis.
“No wonder the Supre God’s Disciple just stood there motionless earlier. I thought he’d gone arrogant from his power surge—but turns out that bastard’s been secretly devouring the Holy Land Star from within, waiting to ambush us!”
Hiye grit her teeth.
The Supre God’s Disciple was truly the most terrifying enemy she had ever encountered.
He had sched for decades, yet even with his strength skyrocketing and his grand design nearing completion, he hadn’t lost his composure. Even after Lufas stole his most crucial piece, he remained perfectly calm.
“Do as Bai Fu says!”
Hiye shouted to Jin Lu, then turned and ran. Jin Lu followed closely behind without hesitation.
Trying to escape?
At this point, why would Aetheron ever let Hiye and Jin Lu leave so easily?
But just as he raised his hand, Bai Fu pressed the Ritual God’s Scepter forward, unleashing the combined might of the 【Ritual of the God】 and Star Sea Fall toward him.
Amid the sweeping torrent of energy, Aetheron stood unshaken, like a colossal ship cutting through a storm, not even swaying once.
When the energy finally dispersed, he saw that Hiye, Jin Lu, and Bai Fu had all vanished.
Standing before him now was only that massive divine body.
Just this thing, and you think it can stop ?
Aetheron sneered—but quickly realized sothing was wrong.
Impossible.
Why wasn’t it taking any damage? Even after he had unleashed skills that used Ethereal Realm Particles, the godly body showed not a single mark.
How could there exist a being that resisted Psionic (Dark Energy) attacks even better than himself?
Fool.
This divine body of mine is invincible!
You can only shorten its ti in the world by attacking it—but you’ll never actually harm it.
Bai Fu carried Hiye and the others, fleeing at full speed.
As for the Players—kids, good luck to you all!
The warships carrying them were far too large. Even for a Void Lord like her, helping the Players teleport would leave traces impossible to hide.
“What should we do next?”
Yulia urgently asked Bai Fu.
Bai Fu replied, “Call for reinforcents. There’s no way we can take down the Supre God’s Disciple alone now. The Three Universal Civilizations are all tied up, so our only option is the Original Pact. With sothing this big happening, as long as the leader of the Original Pact truly cares about maintaining ‘balance’, he won’t just stand by. Also, spread word that the Supre God’s Disciple is devouring the Holy Land Star—warn everyone that he’s extrely dangerous. If he keeps feeding, we’re all going to die!”
Bai Fu didn’t hide the Reaper’s existence from Yulia, so Yulia imdiately understood what she ant.
“Don’t worry. I’ll contact Lit and Sen Lan, have them reach out to the other followers of the Apostolic Holy City. You handle the Original Pact yourself.”
“No problem.”
Bai Fu imdiately sent a public broadcast toward the direction of the Three Universal Civilizations, requesting urgent contact with the Original Pact.
As expected, in less than half a minute, she received a response from the Original Pact’s leader.
“I know you’ve always wanted to kill —but for the sake of that balance you chase, there’s now soone even worse than threatening it. If you don’t act, disaster’s coming!”
The Original Pact leader paused. “Who?”
Bai Fu hurriedly told him everything that had just happened.
“There’s no ti to hesitate! Hurry and get here as fast as you can. If Lufas gets caught and the Fourth Apostle falls into the Supre God’s Disciple’s hands, we’ll never have another chance to stop him!”
Even the ever-calm leader was shaken after hearing Bai Fu’s report.
This turn of events was far too sudden.
A few minutes?
He definitely couldn’t make it there in ti.
The good news was that, out of caution toward the Apostolic Holy City’s strength, he had sent several agents to infiltrate it over the past few years.
They weren’t as powerful as him, but among triple-tamorphosed Transcendents, they were elite—and each carried special equipnt.
They might not be able to kill the Supre God’s Disciple, but there was a good chance they could help Lufas escape his pursuit.
“I’ve already contacted them. They’re close to your location—they’ll arrive shortly!”
Bai Fu let out a sigh of relief.
Help was better than none at all.
Barely over a minute later, one Original Pact mber arrived on scene. His na was Angus—a powerful Esper whose stats utterly crushed those of Demitri, another Esper. It was clear he was one of the Original Pact’s top aces.
“You go link up with Lufas. The others will back you up. Leave this place to .”
Angus smiled confidently.
Seriously, dude—you’re strong, sure, but your stats are nowhere near the Supre God’s Disciple’s!
Bai Fu quickly tried to dissuade Angus from acting recklessly. It was better to wait for everyone to gather before confronting that monster.
Angus waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t underestimate my Esper power. Besides, I brought this.”
A miniature Zodiac Armillary Sphere floated into his palm.
Bai Fu recognized it at a glance.
Wasn’t that the Predestined Celestial Sphere the Original Pact had used when ambushing her in the Ethereal Realm?
Bai Fu had coveted that thing for a long ti. After completing the 【Path of Fusion】 quest and obtaining the Analysis Card, she had been plotting how to reverse-engineer its crafting thod. She hadn’t expected the opportunity to co knocking by itself.
There was nothing to hesitate about now.
Analysis Card—activate!
Once the copying process was complete, Bai Fu didn’t bother trying to stop Angus anymore. If you want to go, go. I’m out of here first.
Bai Fu gathered Yulia, Hiye, and the others, then rushed in the direction where Lufas had fled.
A few minutes later—
“Hey! Wait for !”
A voice shouted through the communicator.
Bai Fu turned to see Angus panting heavily as he chased after her.
“Weren’t you going to intercept the Supre God’s Disciple?”
Angus’s face was green.
Intercept? My ass!
“Couldn’t beat him.”
Tch.
I told you the Supre God’s Disciple was insane—you wouldn’t listen.
Bai Fu ignored him and kept running.
Angus might have been unreliable, but his effort wasn’t aningless—at least he had bought her so ti, turning the Supre God’s Disciple’s ‘five-minute capture of Lufas’ into a complete joke.
Well… not a very funny one.
Because in the end, the Supre God’s Disciple still stopped Lufas—it just took him twice as long.
“One, two, three… twelve Transcendents in total.”
The Supre God’s Disciple bead, showing not a trace of fear.
Compared to ten minutes ago, he had changed.
He had fused halfway with the twin-helix tree, his human form completely gone. Under the night sky, he looked like a writhing demon.
“With so many here to witness my ascension, it is my honor. To witness my becoming a god—this is your honor too!”
