Chapter 953: Blademaster in the Flesh

Since Aragon last disappeared, Li Yi had not seen him for a while.

In the eyes of others, Aragon was still in the straw, distributing quests there daily. However, to Li Yi, Aragon had long disappeared and could not be found even after turning Foreignland upside down.

He did not think Aragon would appear on Mount Pantheon.

Li Yi bent down to check on Aragon's state and realized he had only 1000 HP remaining, and it was decreasing steadily. If Li Yi had arrived any later, he would have died here.

Li Yi took out a bottle of Sacred Tranquility and poured it in Aragon's mouth.

Gurgle, gurgle...

With a bottle consumed, Aragon's complexion turned for the better. The HP bar above his head grew swiftly.

Aragon slowly opened his eyes. "... It's you?"

Li Yi nodded. "Your Highness Aragon, why are you here?"

Handing over another bottle of Sacred Tranquility, Aragon took it and took huge gulps.

Gurgle, gurgle...

"There's poison in the air, I was too careless."

Aragon stood up from the stood, shaking his head and sighed bitterly.

Ever since Li Yi killed Genghis, Aragon had felt there was no need for him to stay in Foreignland. Hence, he quietly left and arrived here.

Aragon smiled at Li Yi. "Like you, I have always been curious about Ascension."

"Do you know why the Three Heroes of Humanity are immortal?"

Li Yi shook his head. He really did not know.

Aragon chuckled. "It's because the three of them went to the Ruler of Gods' Palace."

Li Yi raised an eyebrow. "You mean they've seen the Ruler of Gods?"

Aragon shook his head. "I'm not too sure. Augustus told me that if I wish to know the answer, I should head to the Ruler of Gods' Palace myself."

Aragon turned to look and waved at Li Yi. "The flower and plant monsters are surrounding us, let's head out."

Tst —

At the swing of Aragon's arm, a powerful blade aura was fired, taking out over a hundred flower and plant monsters dozens of meters away.

Li Yi and Aragon left the Life God's Palace together.

No players could be seen outside the palace.

Aragon pointed at the palace ahead. "Up ahead's the Death God's Palace but the Death God isn't in there, only a bunch of opinionated Superior Gods.

Past the Death God's Palace was the Ruler of Gods' Palace!

"How many Superior Gods are there?"

"Ten."

"..."

Was it possible to defeat ten Superior Gods?

Li Yi finally had a clear look as he closed in on the Death God's Palace. The Death God's Palace was not a dungeon but a building that was part Mount Pantheon.

"Are we just going to barge in?"

"There's nothing terrifying about gods. As long as there is no fear in our hearts, defeating gods is simple."

Aragon had his hands behind his back, and he entered the Death God's Palace arrogantly.

Tst —

Wham!

At the flash of a blade aura, Aragon flew backward from the impact.

Upon landing, Aragon spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I can easily kill ten Moderate Gods but who would have thought I'm no match to a Superior God, even one against one..."

Aragon uttered with a pale face. The impact had left him heavily wounded.

Li Yi took out two bottles of God's Gift for his consumption.

Aragon's eyes lit up. "These are God-tiered potions. Young man, you did well."

Gurgle, gurgle...

With two bottles of God's Gift emptied out, Aragon's complexion returned to being bright pink.

"There's a total of ten Superior Gods in the Death God's Palace with the strongest being the Sun God and weakest, the Thunder God. I'm about equal to the Thunder God but I can't take even one hit from the Sun God."

"How do you think Augustus and the others made it past this stage?"

The gap between mortal and god was not a thin line. Li Yi could only be considered a demigod when he transformed into a Lightning Leopard, but it still would place him in a difficult spot to win against a Superior God, even more so against ten.

If they could not attack by force, the best course was a strategy.

Li Yi checked his stats but was disappointed to find he was still not in possession of a Great God's Brilliance.

Oh mother, how did Scumbag Wang and those bunch of idiots get it?

Li Yi tried to walk into the Death God's Palace but when he made it to the door, a whirlwind overwhelmed him, spinning him around. Like Aragon, he was blown out of the place.

His 2.1 million HP was reduced by more than half...

So, he could not barge his way in?

Li Yi retrieved another two bottles of God's Gift to drink.

After his last upgrade on Evil God Summoning Scroll, there were 15 bottles of God's Gift left. They came in handy now and were not put to waste.

Li Yi poked Zhang Yan and found out after questioning that Zhang Yan has not added anyone, nor had any party members leave. They had been at it for 35 times now.

35 times was insufficient?

Li Yi was in a daze.

Tuning into Pantheon forums, Li Yi caught sight of an interesting piece of news.

"There are idiots everywhere but even more this year. Take it from the bravely advancing Huashan Guild."

Clicking on the post, it was a compilation video of the Huashan Guild fighting the Seven Demon Gods.

It was impossible to clear Seven Demon Gods with their current equipment and levels, but their perseverance was admirable. They kept going after each TPK and had not stopped...

Based on the calculations of the poster, the TPK count was nearing 250 times.

In the beginning, the Huashan members were still wearing equipment but nearing the end, the durability of their equipment had hit zero, so they fought on with naked bodies. This method of play was a display of idiocy in the eyes of others, no less.

Below the post were comments taunting the idiots of the Huashan Guild.

Li Yi helplessly sighed. "Who's the real idiot here?"

Huashan's actions may be deemed foolish, but they had helped The Mountain. Without them, The Mountain would not have gotten his hands on three Great God's Brilliances.

"Great God's Brilliance, as long as I have it... surely I can pass through."

Aragon asked, "Great God's Brilliance? What's that?"

"The power of the masses, it's almost equal to Divine Power."

He could not charge his way through with brute force, so Li Yi waited outside the Death God's Palace for five minutes. The party led by Zhang Yan died more than twenty times, yet he still did not acquire any Great God's Brilliance.

Should he reveal his trump card here?

Li Yi's brows were tied up in a twist.

After much hesitation, Li Yi took out the 100% completed Evil God Summoning Scroll.

This was his trump card!

"Give me the sword!"

Just as Li Yi was about to recite the incantations for the summoning of Evil God, Aragon extended his arm out towards him.

"What sword?"

"My Emperor Sword!"

Li Yi retrieved Emperor Sword and handed it to Aragon.

Buzz!

Aragon gently waved Emperor Sword, prompting a pure white glow over the blade, radiating light to its surroundings.

"There's a hidden ultimate Divine Spell on Emperor Sword, do you know what it is?"

"What is it?"

"Buzz!"

Aragon held Emperor Sword horizontally, walking into the Death God's Palace with his head held high.

"Bow down!"
