Chapter 715: The Despair of the Upper-Tier Divine Authorities, a Glimmer of Hope for the Breakthrough?
In an instant, the vast battlefield turned eerily strange.
Once bitter enemies—Orichalcum Kingdom and the Ashen Temple—who had been engaged in a deadly feud for countless years, suddenly joined forces to resist the Scourge Legion brought by Sterl from Hell.
However, even with the two factions combining their strength, they were pushed back step by step by this terrifying army.
Just looking at the numbers, the Legion of Hell outnumbered the combined forces of Orichalcum Kingdom and the Ashen Temple by several times!
Moreover, Sterl had intentionally waited until both divine-level factions had exhausted their resources—using almost all of their hidden trump cards—before he chose to strike.
This meant that without those hidden cards and powerful artifacts, facing an army that was not only numerically superior but also at full strength, it was no surprise that they were being overwhelmed.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a sharp, blood-curdling roar echoed across the battlefield.
Sterl turned his gaze toward the sound and saw Kun’s body expanding rapidly, growing several times in size, transforming into a massive giant standing ten meters tall.
Though still small compared to the hundred-meter-long dragon god, Kun exuded a malevolent aura, a nearly tangible essence of evil that wrapped around him.

Not only that, but countless shadowy, ghost-like entities crawled across his body’s surface, adding to his terrifying presence. In terms of momentum, he was even more fearsome than the gigantic dragon god.
Kun was currently riding on the back of the dragon god, gripping one of its wings with both hands and pulling with all his might. With his other hand, he conjured a spear, charged with the formidable power of evil spirits, to counter the attacks of the Ashen Temple’s upper-tier divine authority.
Despite the dragon god struggling desperately, surrounded by scorching dragon flames, Kun ignored them completely. The Evil Spirit Armor that had formed around him perfectly shielded him from the flames.
In the next moment, accompanied by an even more agonizing shriek, there was a sickening slit as the connection between the dragon god’s wing and its back was violently torn open. A grotesque bloodstain appeared, and a torrent of golden blood spilled out, falling to the ground and forming a river of blood.
This was the blood of an upper-tier divine authority. To ordinary beings, their blood was something beyond imagination—a treasure of immeasurable worth.
Just a single drop of such blood could form a small pond, enough to obliterate any third-class creature or below.
Of course, if someone could collect this dragon blood and refine it, purifying it, they might be able to inherit a trace of the dragon god’s bloodline, gaining immensely powerful talents and undergoing a total transformation.
Soon, Kun tore the dragon wing off with brute force, a cruel grin spreading across his face. The evil spirits coiling around his body went wild, greedily surging forward. Under the horrified and enraged gaze of the dragon god, they quickly tore into the wing and devoured it.
His dragon wing... was eaten!
This scene caused all the gods to flinch, their eyelids twitching. Even the dragon god’s heart filled with a trace of terror.
Sterl watched the scene with a bemused expression, clearly entertained by the spectacle.
"We have no choice but to fight back. I’ve already investigated their origins—this entire force comes from Hell!" one of them said.
"Hell? Damn it! The trash from Hell should have been crushed by the will of [Transcendence] the moment they appeared!"
"Are all of you gods from the Orichalcum Kingdom this naive? If even you and I can break through the boundaries of the lower realm and descend here, let alone these Hellish beasts!"
The Ashen Temple god couldn’t help but shout in anger.
The other two gods quickly understood the situation. With the upcoming great calamity, the fusion of the lower realm was accelerating. As the space and Laws of the lower realm strengthened, the restrictions on the worlds would only weaken further. Therefore, it wasn’t strange to see Hellish beings appear in the main world.
"Even so, there’s no way they could show up in such numbers. Has Hell sent out everything it has?"
"Something’s wrong. The problem lies with that Sterl!"
The three high-ranking divine authorities soon realized the root cause. The entire Hell seemed to have come out, and it was most likely because of the one who called himself Sterl.
"Perhaps... I’ve found a way to break through."
The God of Ice and Frost said with a low voice, his eyes filled with a strong killing intent as he looked at Sterl.
"I had the same thought. I don’t sense any higher-level Law power from him. Perhaps... he’s just a puppet."
"Exactly, I feel a strange fluctuation from him. It’s a power that connects all the Hellish creatures. He must be the medium."
"Take him down, and these Hellish scum shouldn’t be able to stay here anymore!"
"Since that’s the case... Let’s cooperate for once."
The three high-ranking divine authorities communicated at lightning speed, exchanging thousands of pieces of information in the blink of an eye.
Soon, they reached the same conclusion: take down Sterl!
"Prepare yourselves. I can’t hold out much longer. These scum are really troublesome."
The God of Ice and Frost took a deep breath, his eyes quickly enveloped in a layer of ice, while his aura surged greatly.
"I’m ready too. I’ve got an artifact here that contains a hint of higher-level Space Law. These quasi..."
Another god from the Orichalcum Kingdom spoke up. As for the third, he remained silent, slowly drawing out a pitch-black dagger covered in cracks.
This dagger was an Ancient One artifact obtained in the Void Ruins. Although it was severely damaged, it could still be used a couple more times.
Within this Ancient One artifact was an extremely potent toxin. Even a high-ranking divine authority would meet a dead end if this poison invaded their body!
