Sterl was feeling dizzy!


    This time, the n to hunt the Archduke of Blood for self-preservation was fraught with problems.


    Sterl had not met with disaster, purely because something was off with the Archduke of Blood as well, which allowed Sterl to seize many opportunities he had never dared to hope for in the n.


    However…


    The rapid influx of Divine Power into his body, coupled with the inexplicable changes that followed, made him feel as if his luck had suddenly improved.


    Sterl discovered that he now had an added measure of "Fortune" within him!


    But how could this be? He hadn''t even killed the Archduke of Blood; where could this Fortune possiblye from?


    "Wait a minute!"


    "Having destroyed half of the Archduke of Blood''s formation setup, that must have significantly hindered this being loathed by the heavens and earth."


    "So I must have received the reward of Fortune."


    Sterl quickly deduced.


    The concept of Fortune wasn''t extensively studied in the lower realm, and even gods might not have ess to it.


    The information provided by Sosia and Sonis was urate, but it didn''t necessarily require killing a being despised by the world; inflicting sufficient damage would suffice!


    Sterl had directly seized half of the authority over the array of seizing heaven and creating fate!


    For the energy-depleted Archduke of Blood, this was a massive weakening.


    "Just three more pieces of Fortune, and I can evolve my cheat!"


    Sterl felt as if his heart had stopped!


    He shifted slightly, finding a morefortable standing position.


    After all, there was nothing he could do but wait for time to pass slowly…


    He didn''t have enough Divine Power to create a Law.


    Hecked enough Fortune to evolve his cheat.


    Wait!


    He could only wait!


    In Sterl''s perception, everything around him stretched out into a seemingly endless duration.


    When the next piece of Fortune arrived, the power of the supreme Sky Thunder erupted once again.


    The rainbow-coloreddivine thunder descended once more!


    The gods desperately unleashed their ultimate abilities, their eyes filled with hope and excitement; they believed they might create a miracle!


    Unfortunately, there was no miracle.


    After earlier casting their abilities, many gods threw out a plethora of items, their divine-level wealth naturally being immense.


    Sterl watched from a distance,pletely unaware of what they were using; he only saw crystallized items being crushed one after another, the various lights emanating from the gods sparkling like a rainbow.


    Then, one by one, pills and potions were rapidly consumed, and Sterl felt a bit overwhelmed just watching.


    "The speed of divine-level beings is astonishing; they can use so many items at once."


    He casually muttered, while pondering—


    Perhaps the small world could provide him with a significantbat advantage in the future; other gods could only rummage through their inventory for resources, and when it came to taking potions, they had to throw them into their mouths.


    But Sterl could directly transfer potions into his mouth and swallow them, which was much more convenient...


    He now sensed the presence of Fortune and was on the verge of achieving Fission Law, causing all his pressure to dissipate as he gleefully watched the unfolding events.


    There had been an opportunity to challenge the Archduke of Blood directly.


    With the uing evolution of his cheat, Sterl felt a surge of optimism.


    He had deliberately timed his arrival with Licitris to the river valley.


    After all, if the situation turned dire, Sterl could choose to let the Blood of Contamination infect him; he wouldn''t die immediately, and that would give him a chance to gain an extra point allocation for future use.


    At this moment, there were only a few minutes left until his cheat would cool down.


    If he could hold out during this time, his cheat shouldplete its evolution, and Fission Law would also be finished.


    Then, he would have new points to enhance the Holy Spirit Bloodline before the countdown hit zero.


    Whether he chose to further strengthen his bloodline or extend the duration of the Holy Spirit Bloodline to free up point allocations, he would be satisfied either way.


    Unfortunately, as Sterl looked around, he realized he didn''t need to kill the Archduke of Blood to evolve his cheat, yet he had no intention of running away.


    The Archduke of Blood was calling forth Thunder mixed with a massive amount of contamination power, bombarding the area. If not for the five divine beings blocking the attacks, Sterl feared he might have already been caught in the crossfire.


    Not cooperating with the gods to take down the Archduke of Blood would lead to endless trouble.


    To put it bluntly, if the five divine beings perished, and only the Archduke of Blood and Sterl remained in the entireyer of hell, that divine-level demon would undoubtedly choose to eliminate Sterl as well!


    Moreover, Sterl had previously taken away an Origin of Chaos from the Archduke of Blood, and their enmity was already irreconcble.


    Having spent some time as a Swallowing Heaven yer, Sterl hade to ept a certain logic: if he offended someone, he had to eliminate thempletely. Otherwise, if they sought revenge when he was at his weakest, he would find himself dead with no one to me.


    As Sterl pondered this, he felt another surge of Fortune within him.


    He was just one piece away from evolving his cheat, and the Divine Power for creating Fission Law had reached 94%—


    Meanwhile, a brilliant Thunder descended from the sky where the Archduke of Blood was. For some reason, the other divine beings were frantically consuming potions and using items.


    The Archduke of Blood, however, was not doing anything other than summoning Thunder with all his might, seemingly brimming with confidence.


    But the other divine beings were far too preupied to notice such details.


    They were focused solely on using as many items and potions as they could.


    Boom!


    Apanied by an ear-splitting roar, Thunder fell!


    Under the influence of the rainbow-coloredBlood of Contamination, the lightning emitted an extraordinarily bizarre fluctuation, twisting and shimmering!


    The Thunder rapidly struck and shattered Marlon''s canvas, causing the god of the Hall of Valor to spit blood and nearly perish.


    Earlier, among the items he had used was a crystal that significantly enhanced power by binding one''s techniques and life force together—if one thrived, the other thrived; if one suffered, the other suffered.


    At this moment, Marlon''s life force was plummeting!


    Moreover, he had voluntarily sacrificed his Divine Power after the canvas shattered to avoid being infected by the rainbow-coloredBlood of Contamination.


    With multiple enhancements at y, this god from the main world had copsed to the ground, consuming restorative potions while sitting cross-legged, utterly devoid of anybat capability.


    However, Marlon''s sacrifice proved valuable; he had managed to weaken the Thunder by over half, albeit at the cost of nearly losing his life.


    Now, the rainbow-coloredlightning no longer appeared ferocious. It descended with divine might, crashing down forcefully!


    The arrows crafted by the gods of the Golden Kingdom and Ashen swiftly pierced through the Thunder.


    Sterl could see the lightning being forcibly torn apart by the arrows, scattering in all directions. Before the energy of the arrows was depleted, they even managed to dart toward the Archduke of Blood, leaving a direct gash on his face.


    "Ugh!"


    The Archduke of Blood let out a wail, clearly affected by the curses enhanced within the arrows. Despite his earlier demeanor of disregarding any wounds and fighting valiantly, he had now faltered.


    At this moment, the gods of Ashen and the Golden Kingdom were also in a miserable state, kneeling on the ground.


    The arrows had nearly drained them of their strength!


    They quickly worked to suppress the Blood of Contamination, fearing they might perish immediately.


    Meanwhile, the Lord of Evil Spirits, transformed into a dragon, was visibly stirred.


    He saw a glimmer of hope for victory!


    The dragon lunged forward, biting madly!


    The Archduke of Blood was ensnared as if wrapped in a python, unable to move. Naturally, the dragon, as the embodiment of the Lord of Evil Spirits, had more than just ws and fangs for attack.


    While entangling the Archduke of Blood, the dragon''s body transformed into countless skeletal figures that began to gnaw and tear at him.


    The scales on the Archduke of Blood were rapidly stripped away, and flesh was being devoured!


    He was gravely injured!


    However, the price paid by the Lord of Evil Spirits was that all the skeletal forms desperately gnawing away were swallowed into the rainbow-coloredblood.


    By the time Rog withdrew, his form had shrunk to a minimal size, bing norger than an average person. Though the Lord of Evil Spirits seemed to have some reserve of power, he tore open scroll after scroll, enveloping himself in mist that allowed for rapid recovery.


    Yet, for the moment, he was also left withoutbat strength.


    Finally, Licitris wielded her scythe, making her movest with a simple yet unassuming strike!


    But Sterl could clearly see that after the Subus Queen''s de passed through, her dark hair turned white, and her Divine Power and life force werepletely drained.


    At the same time, the Archduke of Blood was brutally bisected!


    Countless streams of ck energy surged and shattered from his body bit by bit.


    Of course...


    This wasn''t a case of the other four divine beings setting Licitris up for the kill. What had just happened?


    The five divine beings were momentarily stunned, not expecting that their desperate gamble would actually have a chance of sess.


    They hadn''t fought this way earlier mainly because the Archduke of Blood could also use all his resources to boost hisbat strength.


    So they had held back their trump cards, waiting for the right moment to unleash their power.


    But who would have thought that ast-ditch counterattack would actually work?


    Was the Archduke of Blood really on the verge of death?


    The expression of the other divine beings shifted dramatically!


    They hastened their recovery efforts, desperately trying to rise... the Archduke of Blood wasn''t dead yet, and there was still a chance to im the kill.


    Only Sterl remained calm, observing the scene without urgency.


    Though he didn''t have a pressing need for the Archduke of Blood''s head, he knew that Fortune was something that could never be too abundant!


    However...


    Sterl was aware that the five divine beings'' counterattack... had failed!


    From his previous experiences through the Hell Trial, Sterl knew that the Archduke of Blood was not so easily killed!


    He had the ability to resurrect!


    Sure enough, after being in, the remaining gods frantically tried tond the finishing blows.


    In an instant, various energy sts were fired, and Licitris forced herself forward despite her weakness.


    The Archduke of Blood''s body was torn to shreds amid the overwhelming Divine Power.


    Yet...


    Tworger chunks of his corpse suddenly absorbed a massive amount of blood.


    The water level in the river valley noticeably dropped.


    The two pieces heaved and merged into one, reviving once again!


    In the midst of continuous distortion, the Archduke of Blood''s bodypleted its reconstruction!


    Not only had he evaded the desperate counterattack from the five divine beings, but he also swept away all his previous injuries, entering a peak state!


    "Come!"


    "Bring it on!"


    This divine-level demon sneered.


    And at this moment...


    Sterl remained unfazed.


    The three gods from the main world wore bitter smiles, knowing that things were not so simple.


    Only the two divine-level demons looked horrified!


    "Exclusive ultimate talent, Blood God Resurrection Technique."


    "How is this possible?"


    "You sold that skill to the Will of Hell, didn''t you?"
