CHAPTER 453: CHAPTER 453: WHAT KIND OF GOD ARE YOU?

Abe Family Mansion

In the dim and expansive underground chamber, a tall and alluring figure smashed through the door, sending dust flying everywhere.

The tall silhouette emerged step by step from the dust, its emerald eyes piercing through all barriers, fixing a deadly gaze on Abe Waka like an enemy at their gates.

"How lucky, to run into a masterless [Crown]!"

With a sinister curve at the corner of his mouth, the intruder raised his hand, dagger-like claws extending from his fingertips, crouching slightly as if he were a bowstring storing strength, ready to spring forth.

However, in the next second, visible ripples appeared in the space-time ahead, and from the center of the wavering, a nameless dark fissure slowly opened, revealing a twisted, chaotic dark void.

Then, an exceedingly magnificent White Jade Golden Bridge emerged from the depths of the void, permeating into reality, linking and coupling with the material world.

In the dazzling light of the white jade, a slender figure crossed the golden bridge, stepping on a rainbow cloud, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, blocking the path of the attacker.

The emerald pupils slowly contracted at the sight of such an exaggerated entrance, and the attacker’s heart instantly wavered.

But soon, a slight sniff caught a whiff of energy from the opponent’s body, much weaker than his own, and greed once again prevailed in his heart.

To gamble for the Holy Grail, which grants all wishes!

Boom!

The intruder’s tiptoes left a spiderweb-like pit on the marble floor, shooting towards the black-clad young man like a cannonball.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao had just steadied himself, looking up to see a lithe and alluring woman lunging at him, her sharp, hook-like claws gleaming with a cold light, aiming straight for his face.

Qi sank into the dantian, the black-clad young man neither dodged nor evaded, his fist, like a heavy cannon, pummeled solidly into the woman’s palm.

Dong~

The clash of fist and claw exploded in a ring of milky white shockwaves in the closed underground space, creating a vacuum region in a short time.

The terrifying overpressure shockwave hit like a truck head-on, causing Abe Waka to suddenly tilt back, staggering.

But before she could regain her footing, the vacuum region in front compressed and collapsed, sweeping her forward like a tidal wave.

Like a leaf drifting with the current, Abe Waka swayed left and right, barely managing to stabilize herself, looking in horror towards the center of the battlefield.

This power, at least of a Seventh Rank Grand Mage, perhaps even Eighth Rank!

Wasn’t it said that Heroic Spirits take a long time to grow?

How could the enemy reach such a level in such a short time?

Even beings like Zhu Jun and Amaterasu, their basic strength growth wasn’t so exaggerated!

On the other side, his fist clutched in the enemy’s palm, sharp nails piercing into flesh, feeling the all-round suppression from the opponent, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly, releasing his strength to forcibly shake off the enemy.

Crack~

The five sharp claws that locked onto his fist like a meat grinder tore through flesh, leaving five gaping, grotesque wounds. The woman retreated three steps along the force, licking the bloodstains on her scythe-like nails, her emerald eyes like a greedy she-wolf, fixated on Zhu Haomiao.

"To think the [Crown] Servant favored by the Holy Grail is such an immature brat like you..."

"Maybe you have unparalleled potential, but unfortunately, elder sister won’t give you a chance."

Hearing the alluring woman’s whisper, Zhu Haomiao glanced at the claw marks on the back of his hand, muscles contracting to instantly close the gaping flesh.

Then, he lifted his gaze, curiously observing the woman not far away.

He had descended into this world with a Bronze Level energy level, inherently a rank higher than ordinary descenders!

Although he later focused on refining the [Dao Heart] and didn’t stress over the growth of basic attributes, the cultivation technique’s improvement along with Amon’s nurturing led to a massive accumulation of attributes within him, with the real restriction being the speed of assimilation, not the rate of cultivation growth.

Yet even so, his current energy level was merely Silver, while the opponent’s basic attributes were several times his, likely nearing the Golden Peak!

Excluding the absurd possibility of the opponent’s growth rate being multiple times his own...

The only explanation was that she was not an [Original Descender], but rather a matured expert from another Three-layered Heaven Illusion Realm summoned by accident to this world.

In contrast to the Original Descenders needing to struggle step by step for growth, these veterans only needed to pass the [Compilation period] to recover eight to ninety percent of their power.

Historically, countless original geniuses have been snuffed out at their budding stage by these [Overseas Dragons].

Some of these old hands even liked to target pioneering Illusion Realms to assassinate talents, seizing their Qi Fortune and True Objects.

At the same time, Zhu Haomiao also understood why the enemy was so "decisively ruthless", charging in so rashly!

Normally, with her current strength, she could overpower the vast majority of original [Heroic Spirits], without worrying about gathering intelligence.

Unfortunately, he could not be viewed through ordinary principles...

Basic attributes are merely the foundation of combat power, authority, and Extraordinary Power are amplifiers, and the latter is the key to determining the combat power cap!

His five fingers twitched slightly, Zhu Haomiao instinctively wanted to unleash the Original Sin Authority, but his brows suddenly furrowed.

What caliber of beings had he associated with?

Blazing Angel, Sun God, Thunder God, Wisdom Goddess...

What kind of God are you?

Are you fit for me to go all out?

Nah, let’s just play with regular strength for now...

On the other side, clearly sensing the fierce aura emanating from the black-clad youth about to explode, the alluring woman’s muscles tensed, but quickly noticed the aura from her opponent dissipate again.

A flicker of confusion crossed her eyes; she didn’t understand why the enemy would voluntarily relax.

Could it be that he was aware of their gap, thus giving up resistance?

The flash of doubt vanished, and the woman’s eyes sharpened as she started to muster all her energy.

No matter, when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses all its strength!

Though she holds a [God’s Destiny], she still couldn’t contend with those top-tier monsters.

The further along, her advantage would gradually be evened out!

Only by seizing a [Crown] while they haven’t grown could she have a chance to vie for the final [Holy Grail]!

Thinking of the black-clad youth’s dramatic entrance, the woman steeled her heart, let out a wolf-like howl, and transformed into a shadow, lunging at Zhu Haomiao.

On the other side, facing the opponent’s onslaught, Zhu Haomiao made a slight grabbing motion, and a heavy, narrow Eight-sided Han Sword instantaneously formed in his hand, a subtle and profound light unfurling between his brows, unnoticed by others.

[Gale Force·Absolute Shadow]!

In an instant, the entire world seemed to slow in his eyes, reflecting the woman’s "slow" movements in his dark pupils. The corners of the black-clad youth’s mouth lifted slightly as he sidestepped lightly, skirting around the opponent’s claws with ease.
