Under the countless gazes of the crowd, a middle-aged man emerged from the sea of blood. He was wearing a wide robe adorned with ancient runes. The runes seemed alive and were swimming across the fabric of his clothes.

There was a golden talisman floating silently in the center of his palm.

Strangely, the blood mist around him couldn't come close to him as if they were being repelled by some unseen force.

He was the Talisman God, and he ruled over the Talisman World. He also held the Talisman of Sacrifice, one of the Ten Divine Treasures of the Tianxing Civilization.

In a nutshell, he was a powerful figure.

With his arrival, two of the four main gods had finally arrived.

Ye Guan stood frozen in mid-air. His skin had cracked open, and blood was seeping out from the fissures. However, his fleshly body absorbed his blood in the blink of an eye—it was a cycle of destruction and regeneration.

The Talisman God fixed his gaze on the blood-soaked figure of Ye Guan.

Without a word, the Talisman of Sacrifice in his palm shot skyward. A moment later, a dazzling beam of light burst forth, and a pillar descended from the heavens with an unstoppable force.

Upon closer inspection, one could see countless stars within the pillar of light—the stars seemed to be moving closer to each other.

Before the talisman light could reach Ye Guan, the immense pressure it carried caused the sea of blood around him to churn violently, boiling as if it were about to erupt

Ye Guan lifted his head, and his blood-streaked face expressionless as he stared at the descending pillar of light.

The pillar of light carried with it the power to obliterate everything in its path.

However, Ye Guan's eyes reflected only a sea of blood. He was calm, cold, and indifferent.

Rumble!

Just then, three bloodline powers surged from within him, shooting toward the sky in a flash. Within moments, they a towering figure—a Triple Bloodline Divine Statue.

Boom!

When the Triple Bloodline Divine Statue emerged, an overwhelming pressure swept across the heavens, countering the suffocating weight of the talisman light. The two forces collided, and their clash shook the very fabric of space.

The next instant, the Triple Bloodline Divine Statue roared. It lifted a massive sword made out of Ye Guan's bloodline high, and it swung downward with all its might.

Schwing!

Spacetime was torn apart by that slash, dissolving into nothingness.

The sword collided with the talisman light, and they both trembled violently before the sword and light shattered simultaneously.

A catastrophic shockwave swept across the skies, and the world seemed to be breaking apart under the immense force. Fragments of spacetime were also crumbling away into the void.

Ye Guan's Triple Bloodline Divine Statue stood firm, and its massive arms were raised in a protective embrace, shielding Ye Guan from the devastating shockwave.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions echoed endlessly, and the Triple Bloodline Divine Statue trembled under the strain. When the dust settled, a beam of mirror light descended from the sky, piercing the shockwave and crashing into the Triple Bloodline Divine Statue.

BOOM!

The mighty Triple Bloodline Divine Statue trembled once more, and Ye Guan himself was blasted nearly a thousand meters away.

The Triple Bloodline Divine Statue became faint and translucent.

Just then, a beam of talisman light came crashing down, and there was a pillar of mirror light next to it. The two gods had decided to attack at once.

Behind the Triple Bloodline Divine Statue, Ye Guan roared. A myriad of blood-red sword intent burst out of him, and the Triple Bloodline Divine Statue followed suit, lifting its massive sword for another strike.

In an instant, a towering wave of blood-colored sword light poured out, dyeing the sun and skies red.

Boom!

The battlefield was thrown into chaos. Terrifying waves of power rolled out like a tsunami, obliterating everything in their path. The pressure was immense, crushing all in its wake.

The Tianxing cultivators retreated in fear, trying to escape the expanding storm of energy. However, the storm was far from over. Beams of mirror and talisman light s rained down on Ye Guan's sea of blood.

Bang! Bang!

The blood sea where Ye Guan was standing was torn apart, and massive waves of blood rose tens of thousands of meters high, blotting out the sky. Deafening explosions rang out, and the battlefield was shattered.

Ye Guan was blasted away as well.

Before he could stop, more beams of talisman and mirror lights made a beeline for him.

At the same time, Ye Guan's Triple Bloodline Divine Statue transformed into a streak of sword light that charged at the descending beams of light.

Boom!

A crimson explosion erupted; the Triple Bloodline Divine Statue was suppressed and blasted into the ground by the combined might of the two gods.

Rumble!

Before anyone could rejoice, the spacetime around the two gods trembled violently, and a myriad of blood-red swords appeared, slashing toward them.

Phantom Edge!

Caught off guard, the faces of the two gods shifted. They reacted quickly, summoning their divine treasures to defend themselves. Layers of talisman lights and mirror lights shielded them as the swords that seemed to have been made out of blood came crashing down on them like torrential rain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two gods were engulfed in an endless sea of blood-red sword lights!

Ye Guan's sword intent was strong, but it couldn't break through their defenses. Every sword was blocked by the gods' barriers. Then, the flaming figure that had been watching from the sidelines turned into a blazing streak that shot toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's Triple Bloodline Divine Statue whirled around, slashing out.

A gigantic blood-red light flew out.

Bang!

The flaming figure was flung thousands of meters away. When it stopped, it was stunned to see that its flames had dimmed significantly.

It was supposed to be impervious to the weapons and abilities of people from low-tier civilizations, but Ye Guan's bloodline power had weakened its flames. It was clear that something was wrong here!

Enraged, the flaming figure's flames surged, and it charged at Ye Guan again.

Ye Guan met its attack head-on, and the spacetime around him transformed into bizarre grids. The flaming figure charged into the trap, and by the time it realized that it had fallen into a trap, it was already too late for it to retreat.

A million blood-red swords descended upon it.

"Roar!" the flaming figure roared. The blood-red swords overwhelmed it, and it exploded into flames that splattered across the battlefield.

The Tianxing Civilization cultivators were horrified. How could the bloodline of someone from a low-tier civilization destroy a Tianxing Flame?

Before they could recover, Ye Guan raised his head again. More beams of mirror and talisman lights fell from the sky, forcing his Triple Bloodline Divine Statue to defend him once more.

Boom!

The Triple Bloodline Divine Statue absorbed the force of the attack, but cracks began to spread across it, and its figure flickered weakly.

High above, both the Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God shared a glance, and their eyes were tinged with caution. They hadn't expected that a swordsman from a low-tier civilization could withstand their combined assault, much less hold out against them for so long.

What truly unsettled them was Ye Guan's bloodlines—they dared not underestimate them.

"He's stalling for time," the Mirror Goddess suddenly remarked.

The Talisman God frowned, feeling uneasy.

The main gods were extraordinary individuals. They had fought countless battles and had encountered numerous elites from great civilizations. Among them were many who had astonished even the main gods with their talent and brilliance.

In the end, however, those talents had perished, disappearing into the long river of history.

Meanwhile, the Tianxing Civilization had withstood the ruthless passage of time. Thus, even though Ye Guan was a troublesome threat, they believed that there was no way he could pose a real threat to the Tianxing Civilization.

The battle between the gods and Ye Guan raged on, stretching far longer than anyone had anticipated.

The members of the Tianxing Civilization gathered, and their eyes were filled with disbelief and fury—disbelief, as they had never expected a swordsman from a low-tier civilization to withstand the onslaught of two main gods for such a long time, and fury, as they never had any invaders until now.

Ye Guan's invasion was an unprecedented crime—the first in their long history.

High above, the Mirror Goddess gazed down at Ye Guan.

"He's waiting for something..." she murmured with eyes narrowed in suspicion.

The Talisman God's expression darkened. "Waiting for someone?"

The Mirror Goddess's elegant brow furrowed. "Have the Justice God keep an eye on the surroundings, just in case."

The Talisman God frowned but nodded in agreement. There was something deeply unsettling about today's events, and caution was paramount. Without hesitation, he reached out and contacted the Justice God.

The Mirror Goddess' gaze remained locked on Ye Guan, who was standing motionless behind his Triple Bloodline Divine Statue.

Ye Guan's eyes were closed, and he was emanating a suffocating aura of killing intent that was growing stronger by the second. His increase in strength allowed him to repair his Triple Bloodline Divine Statue.

It would soon be whole again.

The Mirror Goddess exchanged glances with the Talisman God, and their eyes betrayed a glimmer of astonishment. From the beginning of this fight until now, Ye Guan's aura had only been growing stronger!

The Mirror Goddess's gaze hardened, and she whispered in realization, "It's her bloodline."

The Talisman God nodded, surprise flickering in his eyes. "It is an extraordinary bloodline."

"We can't delay any longer," the Mirror Goddess said, her voice firm. "We need to end this swiftly."

Suddenly, the Talisman God turned toward the horizon. "He's here."

Before his words had faded away into silence, an overwhelming presence descended upon them like a storm. A spacetime rift was torn open, and a figure emerged from the rift.

The newcomer was an imposing and towering, large-framed figure. His muscles were like iron bands, and the veins on his exposed skin were as thick as iron columns.

The large-framed man was none other than Martial God Shi.

Among the four main gods, he was the only one Physique Cultivator. No divine artifact or weapon was necessary for him, as his nearly indestructible fleshly body was a weapon in itself.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, a crushing wave of pressure radiated outward, making the battlefield tremble.

Martial God Shi's cold eyes fixated on Ye Guan.

"Is it him?" Martial God Shi asked, his eyes glimmering with killing intent.

The Mirror Goddess nodded slightly. "Yes. He is powerful, and he has great mastery over spacetime and the power of his bloodlines. Proceed with caution."

Without a word, Martial God Shi sprang into action, launching himself at Ye Guan with the force of a comet. The earth trembled beneath his power, and he left nothing but destruction in his wake.

At the same time, a brilliant beam of talisman light and mirror light shot down from the heavens, all converging on Ye Guan.

The three gods had attacked at the same time!
