Chapter 1283: Despair

"The Blazing Gold Race's Ancient God Gilded Gold is challenging Ancient God Ice Origin immediately after fighting with Bao Yuan!"

"Ancient God Ice Origin is a very strong existence among the Rank Seven Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race, but I've never heard of this Ancient God Gilded Gold."

The spectators were all completely stunned by this challenge.

Ancient God Ice Origin, who was just telling Zhao Feng what to do, was also dumbfounded. He was even wondering if his ears were playing tricks on him.

Someone directly challenged him, and this challenger was doing so after fighting with the peak Rank Six Bao Yuan. Even if this person wanted to fight him, he should have at least rested so that he could fight with full power.

It seems like the Blazing Gold Race is so sure of their victory with two Ancient Gods that they would actually challenge me right away, Ancient God Ice Origin speculated. This could be an opportunity for him, but Ancient God Ice Origin still needed to see what the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had to say.

"Go!"

Although the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race felt that something was wrong, they could only send Ancient God Ice Origin. After all, the one being challenged was the strongest fighter on the Spiritual Race's side. If they did not accept this battle, they would become the laughingstock of the Ziling Zone.

The Spiritual Race Elders thought that the Blazing Gold Race was just planning to use Ancient God Gilded Gold to wound Ancient God Ice Origin. They would then send Ancient God Gold Fury to defeat Ancient God Ice Origin and clinch the victory.

"They have two Ancient Gods. Ancient God Ice Origin will have to fight them in a row no matter what!" the Spiritual Race Fifth Elder sighed.

Whoosh!

Ancient God Ice Origin jumped onto the fighting stage.

"And here I thought that you wouldn't dare." Ancient God Gilded Gold sneered, excitement surging in his eyes.

"Since I've come up, I'll immediately send you down!" Ancient God Ice Origin proudly retorted.

In his eyes, Ancient God Gilded Gold was definitely weaker than him. Besides that, Ancient God Gilded Gold had just finished a battle with Bao Yuan.

"Then let me see if you have that right!" As Ancient God Gilded Gold roared, his aura began to swell, the dark golden flames engulfing his body and transforming him into a war god of fire.

"You will see!" Ancient God Ice Origin's eyes turned cold as he slowly activated his Spiritual Race bloodline. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around him instantly turned into an icy mist.

At this moment, Ancient God Ice Origin seemed to be one with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, his every move infused with massive power.

Shwooom!

With a wave of his hand, the icy crystals condensed into a serpentine dragon that charged at Ancient God Gilded Gold.

"Golden Light Sacred Body!" Ancient God Gilded Gold activated his unique physical body. Dazzling tattoos of flame appeared on his body while searing physical energy swept through the area.

Dingding! Bang!

Ancient God Gilded Gold used his formidable body to resist Ancient God Ice Origin's attack, but he was forced back several steps, and many scratches were left on his dark golden body.

"That's all there is to you!" Ancient God Ice Origin's eyes twinkled with light as he began to exert even more of his bloodline power.

The entire stage began to gleam with icy crystals as a heavy pressure descended upon Ancient God Gilded Gold.

Ancient God Gilded Gold felt like the entire world was against him, and he slowly began to sense danger.

"So strong! Ancient God Ice Origin has already reached this level? Ancient God Gilded Gold won't be able to last for long!"

"But it won't be easy for Ancient God Ice Origin to defeat Ancient God Gilded Gold. Moreover, he'll have to face Ancient God Gold Fury right after...."

The spectators commented as they carefully observed this match.

"Ancient God Gold Fury, do you know how Ancient God Gilded Gold was able to become so powerful so quickly?" True God Tian Qian couldn't help but ask.

Thirty years ago, Ancient God Gilded Gold was just True God Gilded Gold, an ordinary True God of the Blazing Gold Race. Some of the Rank Seven Ancient Gods of the Blazing Gold Race didn't even know who he was.

"Thirty years ago, True God Gilded Gold was traveling the world to hone himself and try to break through into the Ancient God ranks and shine within the Blazing Gold Race. His luck wasn't bad, as he accidentally came upon a ruin...." Ancient God Gold Fury messaged.

"Could it be because of that ruin?" True God Tian Qian appeared rather excited.

"It truly was, but as for what was in that ruin and what he encountered, only the upper echelon of the Blazing Gold Race knows!"

Ancient God Gold Fury also didn't know the full story. Regardless, that ruin was definitely not normal because it turned True God Gilded Gold from an ordinary disciple into one of the best Ancient Gods of the Blazing Gold Race.

Ancient God Gilded Gold had returned right when the Blazing Gold Race was fighting with the Spiritual Race over the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein. Thus, the Blazing Gold Race proposed this gambling match while imposing a complete blackout on any news of Ancient God Gilded Gold so that he could serve as their ace. Only the disciples taking part were able to notice through a few details that Ancient God Gilded Gold was the ace of this gambling match.

"But it seems like Ancient God Gilded Gold isn't a match for Ancient God Ice Origin." True God Tian Qian smiled.

In his view, Ancient God Gilded Gold wasn't that formidable. It was just that he appeared when the Blazing Gold Race needed him and thus received the favor of the upper echelon.

"Hah, Ancient God Gilded Gold is just playing with Ancient God Ice Origin. His true strength is far greater than Ancient God Ice Origin's!" Ancient God Gold Fury chuckled before messaging back.

Before the gambling match, the upper echelon of the Blazing Gold Race had arranged for him to fight with Ancient God Gilded Gold, so he had a deep understanding of Ancient God Gilded Gold's strength.

"Is that so?" True God Tian Qian had a look of disbelief.

At this moment, a heaven-shaking physical power mixed with tyrannical golden flames exploded outward.

Kabooom!

Dark golden flames madly clashed with icy crystals. In the end, all the power that Ancient God Ice Origin had condensed from activating his bloodline was destroyed by Ancient God Gilded Gold.

"Your strength...!" Ancient God Ice Origin suddenly became dejected.

At this moment, Ancient God Gilded Gold was exuding a level of power that was completely on par with his.

"What's going on? How could Ancient God Gilded Gold be this strong?"

"So Ancient God Gilded Gold was hiding his strength the entire time! This is the Blazing Gold Race's true ace card. It seems like the Spiritual Race is looking at a wretched defeat!"

Cries of alarm and sighs of praise resounded in the ears of the people from the Spiritual Race.

The disciples of the Spiritual Race had expressions of rage and reluctance, but there was nothing they could do.

The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race all had nasty grimaces. From the current situation, it would be very difficult for them to get even ten percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein today.

"Didn't you say that you would send me off the stage?" Ancient God Gilded Gold spoke with a threatening tone and a ruthless gaze.

"Cut the small talk!" With a gloomy look on his face, Ancient God Ice Origin immediately summoned a sword of ice that began to exude a chill through the surroundings.

"Ice Crystal Celestial Slash!" Ancient God Ice Origin raised the sword, and a stream of chilling Divine Power shot out.

Ancient God Ice Origin could no longer hold back. He had taken out his high-quality divine weapon and used one of his supreme skills.

Thwish!

A massive ice crystal sword shot across the stage toward Ancient God Gilded Gold.

Ancient God Gilded Gold grimaced. Even before the slash arrived, he could already feel a stabbing chill on his chest.

Swish!

A simple stone ax of dark yellow appeared in his hand. The appearance of this stone ax made the air tremble. A simple yet heavy energy swept through the area.

Wielding the ax, Ancient God Gilded Gold shot into the air, slashing out several waves of majestic golden flame.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Ancient God Gilded Gold destroyed the ice sword slash approaching him inch by inch and even succeeded in forcing Ancient God Ice Origin back.

He actually blocked it!? Ancient God Ice Origin was quite stunned by this sight.

As Ancient God Gilded Gold approached, Ice Origin sensed that the high-quality divine weapon in his opponent's hand was of slightly higher quality than his.

"Ice Crystal Heaven-Defying Style!" Ice Origin used another powerful sword skill as he entered into a fierce battle with Ancient God Gilded Gold.

However, the spectators could already see that Ancient God Ice Origin was slightly weaker than Ancient God Gilded Gold. If things continued as expected, Ancient God Gilded Gold would eventually win.

Even if Ancient God Ice Origin still had other moves that could reverse the situation, he wouldn't have the strength to fight anyone else, and the Spiritual Race would still lose.

Boom!

At this moment, Ancient God Gilded Gold unleashed a golden ax image that could shake the heavens.

"Crystal Spirit Liquefaction!" In the face of such a powerful attack, Ancient God Ice Origin could only use a secret technique of the Spiritual Race. His transparent body of ice suddenly began to ripple like water.

Kacha!

The golden ax image directly struck Ancient God Ice Origin, creating a massive wound.

When the golden ax faded, the massive wound on Ancient God Ice Origin's body immediately healed.

Plush!

After using his secret technique to dodge this powerful attack, Ancient God Ice Origin spat out blood and began to counterattack.

Hwooom!

Several massive shards of ice shot forward.

Ancient God Gilded Gold didn't have the strength to dodge after using his supreme technique and was struck directly by these massive shards of ice. However, his injuries were far less severe than Ancient God Ice Origin's.

He actually blocked it!? Ancient God Gilded Gold was rather shocked.

In the end, the Spiritual Race bloodline was still ranked above the Blazing Gold Race bloodline. In addition, the bloodline had a trait that allowed it to neutralize a fatal attack a single time.

"In that case, I'll use this technique to defeat you!" A hint of madness appeared on Ancient God Gilded Gold's face.

A dazzling golden light shot out of Ancient God Gilded Gold's body and fused with the dark yellow stone ax.

Whoosh!

The golden flames blazing on the stone ax suddenly increased, and the weapon began to exude Destruction Intent that could annihilate all.

"Destruction Intent!" Ancient God Ice Origin's body trembled, and fear appeared in his eyes.

The already powerful Ancient God Gilded Gold suddenly displayed another powerful strength. This attack had twice the power of Ancient God Gilded Gold's first supreme skill.

Ancient God Ice Origin was heavily injured, and his bloodline power weak. He could not use the secret technique a second time.

"Ice Crystal Heaven-Defying Style!" Ancient God Ice Origin ignited the last of his Divine Power and bloodline and poured it into this move.

But he had barely fired off this move when Ancient God Gilded Gold shattered it. The rest of the Destruction Intent struck Ancient God Ice Origin.

Thwish!

In a flash of golden light, Ancient God Gilded Gold's ax threw Ancient God Ice Origin from the stage.

The battle was over. Ancient God Ice Origin was defeated!

"Ancient God Ice Origin lost!" True God Long Yuan immediately paled.

The rest of the Spiritual Race fighters also became depressed. Ancient God Ice Origin lost badly while the Blazing Gold Race's Ancient God Gold Fury was still waiting in the wings. They had already completely lost this gambling match.

A cloud of despair engulfed the Spiritual Race group.

"The Blazing Gold Race, victory!" After a while, the elder from the Life Sacred Land finally announced.

But before the spectators could even make their comments, Ancient God Gilded Gold's tyrannical voice resounded over the stage; "Is this the strongest person the Spiritual Race sent? He wasn't any big deal. Just me alone is enough to sweep over the rest of you!"

Ancient God Gilded Gold stood on the stage with a haughty look, his tone completely unbridled as he scanned the remaining fighters of the Spiritual Race with scornful eyes.
