Chapter 15: God Realm Divisions
"Stone God, you are actually not dead."
The Heavenly Demon exclaimed in disbelief.
Stone God, a divine being, now reappeared, instilling great fear in him.
But quickly, the Heavenly Demon realized that Stone God's power was no longer comparable to the Ancient Era.
After millions of years, Stone God had once again awakened.
His power had naturally yet to return to its peak.
"Sky Demon Clan, this is not a place you should come to!"
Stone God's voice was icy as he swung the gigantic axe towards the Heavenly Demon.
"How laughable, where is it that we cannot go? Now that all gods have fallen, it's the time for our Sky Demon Clan to rule over all heavens and the myriad realms."
This Heavenly Demon's voice was equally cold, and his strength was extraordinarily powerful.
Now that Stone God had just awakened, his divine power was dissipating.
The Heavenly Demon did not fear Stone God, and the two mighty beings clashed.
Countless eyes were fixed on the great battle unfolding in the sky.
They were shocked, they were delighted, they couldn't believe it.
Stone God, truly existed.
This battle raged on with heavenly collapse and earth split, leaving sun and moon without light.
After all, Stone God had just awoken, and his body found it difficult to sustain a prolonged battle.
The Heavenly Demon gradually gained the upper hand.
Lin Feng knew how terrifying the Heavenly Demon was.
The Heavenly Demon was active in the Post Ancient Era, perhaps even one of the most active during the Ancient Times.
Many powerful Heavenly Demons had strength comparable to the Divine Spirits.
Of course, Divine Spirits varied widely in power.
The gods of the Ancient Era, known as the Ancient Giant Gods, harnessed the power of offerings and could absorb the power of faith from countless individuals.
They were the strongest group of gods.
This group of gods was known as the "Giant Gods."
After the Ancient Era, the Ancient Giant Gods fell.
And the new gods could no longer bless all people, coupled with the diminishing faith.
The power of the gods drastically declined.
These gods came to be known as "Heavenly Gods."
Previously, at Fallen God Cliff, Lin Feng witnessed Heavenly Fire hatching a Divine Egg.
That was the heir of the Heavenly God.
As the years passed, the power of the gods continued to weaken.
By the Ancient Times, divine power experienced another significant decline.
The gods of this era were called "True Gods."
By the time of the Ancient Era, the power of True Gods weakened once more.
The concept of "Void Gods" appeared.
Void Gods had some godly abilities, but far from the extent of True Gods.
In Ancient Times, the Human Clan's Hundred Saints divided the first layer of the God Realm into four levels: Void Gods, Divine Fire, True God, and Undying.
…
The second level of the God Realm was "Heavenly Gods."
Above that lay the "Giant Gods."
…
Yet since ancient times, Heavenly Gods were rare.
As for Giant Gods, they were even harder to appear.
It is known that in the Ancient Era, some of the mightiest Giant Gods could rival the "Great Emperors."
…
In the Ancient Era, Stone God was at a "Ancient Giant God" level, but now his power had severely weakened.
Thirty thousand years ago, this Heavenly Demon was evidently also at the God Realm.
For only those in the God Realm could travel through the Extraterrestrial World, coming from the depths of the Endless Starry Sky to the Heavenly Martial Continent.
But which layer of the God Realm this Heavenly Demon belonged to was unknown.
"Stone God, I will kill you, then devour your origin power."
The Heavenly Demon laughed arrogantly.
His combat power became increasingly formidable.
In contrast, Stone God became increasingly suppressed.
"Is Stone God about to be defeated?"
Countless people looked terrified at the battle in the sky.
If Stone God were to be defeated, they would undoubtedly perish.
"This axe of mine once split the heavens and earth."
Stone God roared furiously, stepping forward as his body burst into flames.
He gathered all his strength and swung an axe towards the Heavenly Demon.
Having been once an "Ancient Giant God."
Stone God naturally had his own unparalleled absolute skill.
Indeed, any Ancient Giant God had their own Tao.
Otherwise, they could not have cultivated to the "Giant God" realm.
And Stone God's Tao.
Was combined with the axe.
In ancient times, Pangu split heavens and earth apart.
In present times, Stone God's axe shattered the sky.
Stone God roared.
The axe swung down.
Between heaven and earth.
It seemed there was only that gigantic axe.
An axe light spanning a hundred thousand meters.
Crossing the void.
This was Stone God's absolute skill, once unleashed, having unfathomable power even ghosts and gods couldn't measure.
Never in any era, could any "Ancient Giant God" be underestimated.
Even if.
This Ancient Giant God is now in decline.
Don't underestimate him.
For, Ancient Giant Gods mastered the most powerful divine skills, enough to deliver a deadly blow to anyone.
And now.
Stone God performed "Axe Breaking the Sky."
Striking down with it.
The Heavenly Demon was shocked to find he could not move.
"No..."
The Heavenly Demon cried out in terror.
Only now did he realize.
How terrifying the Ancient Giant God was.
Even if the Ancient Giant God's divine power had dissipated.
They still were an existence beyond the gods of this era to contend with.
Puff!
The axe ripped the Heavenly Demon apart.
Stone God returned to his original space.
Crack, crack.
His body shattered.
"I am about to die..."
Stone God murmured.
He had lived till now relying on the power of faith.
And now.
Even the last dozen elders who believed in him had passed away, and Stone God could no longer hold on.
He felt his remaining soul was shattering.
"Stone God, may you bless our Stone City."
"Stone God, may you protect my family from illness and disaster."
"Stone God, may you help me become a powerful cultivator."
…
In Stone God's dying moments, waves of telekinesis flooded in.
This was the power of faith.
Merging with Stone God's remaining soul.
…
In Stone City, a statue of Stone God was erected.
Beside Stone God, there were also statues of thirteen elders.
It was them.
Who inherited the will of their ancestors and believed in Stone God.
At the end of their lives.
They awakened the slumbering Stone God.
The whole of Stone City was grateful to the thirteen elders.
Their faith.
Saved millions of people in Stone City.
And now, Stone City's people once again picked up the long-abandoned faith.
It was their faith.
That made Stone God's crumbling soul solidify.
Stone God survived.
He was absorbing the power of faith.
Just like the Ancient Era.
Every year, during the Stone God Festival.
He would bless all people.
...
All images disappeared, Lin Feng's divine sense returned from that illusory world to reality.
He had seen the events of the Middle Ages.
The power of faith.
The resurrection of Stone God.
The fall of the Heavenly Demon.
And now, in his mind, there remained an image of the axe light.
It was the axe light left behind when it shattered the sky.
"Stone God's will is integrated within."
Lin Feng was moved.
He carefully pondered the axe light.
Axe Breaking the Sky.
This was Stone God's supreme absolute skill.
"The legacy of yet another Ancient Giant God."
Lin Feng opened his eyes, showing a look of joy on his face.
This sacrificial offering to Stone God.
He had received great benefits.
"Let's go."
Lin Feng said.
"Yes, my lord."
Zhan Junhua responded.
The three of them descended below.
Outside, a sea of people awaited.
Everyone was waiting for the appearance of the Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master from the Spirit Array Master Guild.
"Look, they're coming out..."
Someone shouted.
Countless gazes turned towards them.
The leaders of the Seven Great Forces and many high-ranking members cleared the way themselves.
A young man came out.
"How is that possible?"
Voices filled with disbelief echoed.
A Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master from the Spirit Array Master Guild? A young man around twenty years old?
This was too astonishing.
Numerous people were moved.
They couldn't believe it.
How many Spirit Array Masters spent their entire lives unable to become Earth-rank Spirit Array Masters?
Yet he became a Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master at about twenty?
This truly defies all reason.
"Who exactly is he?"
Countless people were filled with curiosity, speculating about Lin Feng's identity.
Even the people from the Seven Great Forces felt the same way, everyone was highly curious about Lin Feng's identity.
