Burning the power of his domain to perceive the corresponding power of law was, in Basford’s view, an act of suicidal madness. Yet, to his surprise, the human before him had actually accomplished it; it was nothing short of a miracle.

However, this made Basford even more wary of Song Jian.

Glancing at the Divine Crystal in his hand, Basford revealed a confident smile, “I have already obtained the opportunity for godhood; the rest is all yours!”

After speaking, Basford slowly walked toward the exit of the God Temple. As he approached Song Jian, Basford had adjusted himself to peak condition, and the Divine Flames were slowly gathering inside him.

One must know that the divine for a God-level powerhouse is an extremely precious treasure, let alone for a Demi-God Level one.

The reason Basford’s Divine Flames were so terrifyingly powerful was precisely because they had merged with divine fire. But this divinity was also critical for Basford’s ascension to God-level. If he were to unleash the Divine Flames again in a short span, it could greatly damage Basford himself, potentially affecting his core. By then, even if he had the Divine Crystal, Basford’s advancement to God-level might fail.

Song Jian watched as Basford slowly approached, cracking a slight smile and taking a step aside, making a welcoming gesture.

Basford’s heart relaxed at once, he shot a smile back at Song Jian and slowly left the God Temple.

After leaving the God Temple, Basford finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly fled toward the dungeon entrance. In his view, it wouldn’t be long before he became a God-level powerhouse with the Divine Crystal in hand, and by then, a Demi-God Level Song Jian would be no match for him.

Song Jian watched as Basford left, making no move to stop him. At this moment, he was not Basford’s match; the horror of those Divine Flames was quite troublesome for Song Jian as well.

“Divine skills… It won’t be long before I have them too,” Song Jian murmured to himself, slowly heading toward the shattered deity statue.

Next to the statue were scattered seven or eight blue and green pieces of equipment, among them one that emitted a faint silver glow. These were level one hundred and fifty equipment, which was still too high-end for players. Moreover, these pieces of equipment were not of high grade, and the best use for them was to be melted down by a Forging Master into high-grade materials.

Song Jian picked up all these items and then turned his attention to the pile of shattered statue fragments.

“It seems that these broken stone fragments have no divinity left…” Song Jian shook his head. After all, the last BOSS, the remnants of the Goddess of Harvest, could not contain much divinity. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so powerless in the face of Basford’s Divine Flames.

Now, even if these broken stones were thrown into the Sword Qi Grinding Disc, it would likely be impossible to extract a hint of divinity from them.

As Song Jian hesitated, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the heap of rubble, and before his eyes, a towering mountain peak appeared, with a staircase over five meters wide extending from his feet all the way to the summit.

At the top of the mountain, a gigantic deity statue stood at a height of fifty to sixty meters, even larger than the Goddess statue within the God Temple.

“What is this? An illusion?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes and immediately used his Perception Eye skill. The scene that had seemed so real before now started to seem illusionary.

“As I thought, merely an illusion…” A hint of disdain crept onto the corner of Song Jian’s mouth.

“Human, are you willing to inherit my mantle, accept my legacy, and become a True Godson?”

A grand voice arose beside Song Jian’s ear.

“You only need to climb to the summit, come before my statue, pray sincerely, and you will earn my favor!”

“`

“Hahaha, just a remnant soul, and yet it still dares to overestimate itself, trying to deceive me?” Song Jian burst into laughter, unwitting, everything before his eyes was a trap. The moment he stepped on the staircase and climbed the mountain, he actually fell into the opponent’s trap.

The strand of the Goddess of Harvest’s remnant soul had been severely injured by Basford, but it was, after all, the remnant of a god’s soul, resilient as can be, yet it hadn’t completely faded away.

Now, it even resorted to casting illusions, trying to deceive Song Jian. If Song Jian were fooled, a Demi-God level tonic would likely allow the remnant soul to instantly recover.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art–Sword Qi Grinding Disc!

With a soft shout, countless Spirit Swords emerged from his body, converging in the air into a massive grinding disc that slowly began to rotate.

Waves of invisible force emanated from the grinding disc, pulsing outwards in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom, boom~

The series of booms caused the surrounding space to resonate. The illusion before him instantly shattered like glass, revealing a translucent specter before Song Jian’s eyes.

This specter was none other than the fallen Goddess of Harvest. She was draped in a black cloak that completely hid her face.

She looked nothing like the Goddess of Harvest, and more like an envoy of the Death God.

“Lowly human, you have forsaken the lofty glory of achievement, so what awaits you is only death and endless punishment!” The specter slightly lifted its head, and a sinister dark red light shot out from its eyes.

However, at that moment, a powerful suction force suddenly surged from the Sword Qi Grinding Disc, causing the specter before him to twist and distort, much like a wisp of fog being pulled toward the disc.

“No, it can’t be…” The specter’s body elongated and deformed, unable to maintain its original appearance. The black cloak was torn to shreds, and only then did Song Jian see that the opponent’s body was densely covered with demonic runes, as if they were naturally a part of its flesh.

Thunderous roaring~

The grinding disc began to spin rapidly. By now, the remnant specter of the soul was already at death’s door, nothing but an empty shell incapable of harming Song Jian even without the Sword Qi Grinding Disc.

It didn’t take long for Song Jian to gain two points of Divinity, and the Goddess of Harvest’s last remnant of a soul completely dissipated.

Song Jian was somewhat surprised. He had thought he would gain at most one point of Divinity but ended up receiving two.

Without hesitation, Song Jian invested these two points of Divinity into the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art.

In an instant, the skill slot for the Thousand Swords Art radiated blinding shimmering light, ascending directly from Legendary Realm to become a Divine skill. All attributes disappeared from view and then slowly began to coalesce anew.

The Thousand Swords Art, now a Divine skill, was also nurturing the properties that a Divine skill should possess. The skill slot for the Thousand Swords Art was no longer visible, replaced by a dazzling orb of shimmering light. Song Jian observed this light patiently, waiting for the upgraded Thousand Swords Art, whose power would probably be even greater than he had imagined.
