Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065: Confronting the Fake God

An hour later, Chen Mengze and Jiang Yingying returned to Shen Mo’s house again.

Both of them were dressed in the robe armor crafted by Shen Mo, holding treasured swords, and carrying two sets of steel bows and arrows on their backs... The bow and arrows were primarily prepared for Jiang Yingying, who knew her physical vitality was not strong enough. She wouldn’t gain much benefit in close combat with the fake god and its disciples, so before entering the cultivation world, she had rigorously practiced her archery skills!

Since they still lacked Divine Power in their bodies and couldn’t use God Path methods, Shen Mo didn’t engrave Divine Runes on their arms and weapons. However, he reprocessed his own armor and treasured sword, engraving Divine Runes with different effects on them.

The chains used to restrain the three of them earlier were also densely engraved with Divine Runes, ready to bind the Long Eared God.

Entering the fake god’s God Realm was akin to entering a peculiar space like a Dungeon or Fairyland. Even if the battle made a huge commotion, it wouldn’t transmit outside, so Shen Mo directly arranged the location inside the wooden cabin!

After thoroughly checking for any oversights, Shen Mo took out a wooden fragment and painted a Divine Rune to open the God Realm with his fingertips...

This was the Divine Rune he had obtained from the disciple, Leader Ma, of the Godslayer Palace during his and Chen Mengze’s first entry into the cultivation world; it was the first multi-layer Divine Rune he mastered. In fact, this Divine Rune was a Fivefold God Rune, most likely derived from the initial batch of cultivators who entered this world and became fake god disciples through the study of Divine Runes.

Through conventional means, only the disciple closest to the fake god, who sacrificed a large portion of their primal Essence and Qi in exchange for Divine Power, could activate the effect of the Divine Rune and open the God Realm!

Primarily, the reason lies in the excessive amount of Divine Power required to activate this Divine Rune. Even if disciples sacrificed all their Essence and Qi, it still wouldn’t be enough to gather the required Divine Power.

However, this posed no difficulty for Shen Mo.

With a thought, he began to utilize the improved version of the "Long Eared God Praying Scripture," and within short breaths, substantial Essence and Qi were sacrificed to the "Self God," exchanging for God power like an abyss or a sea.

Normally, this Divine Power would be stored at the earlobe area, gradually changing the shape of the earlobe, eventually allowing him to possess a pair of long earlobes like other disciples. However, since these Divine Powers originated from the "Self God," they allowed every inch of flesh and blood in his limbs and trunk to store Divine Power, causing his entire being to radiate a faint halo.

Soon, a large amount of halo flowed like a torrent towards the wooden fragment in his hand, making the engraved Divine Rune increasingly dazzling and bright.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, the Divine Rune erupted with a blinding light, accompanied by powerful spatial fluctuations.

Chen Mengze and Jiang Yingying couldn’t help but close their eyes, feeling a distortion and dizziness akin to teleportation by a teleportation array. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a peculiar space.

"Is this the Long Eared God’s God Realm?" Jiang Yingying couldn’t help but exclaim.

It was a vibrant world, with grasslands, tall trees, blooming flowers, clouds, sunshine...

The expansive grasslands stretched to the horizon, dotted with various wildflowers emitting a faint fragrance; a sun shrouded in mist hung high in the sky, shedding gentle light to illuminate this peculiar world; and on the land remained some ancient ruins eroded by time, including dilapidated temples, scattered broken spears and armors, and bones uncertain whether human or animal, all appearing increasingly aged and mysterious under the sunlight.

More astonishingly, everything here seems to have its unique melody: the rustling of flowers and leaves, the flowing of clouds, the sunlight pouring down, the murmurs of ancient ruins... all sounds merged into a harmonious, delightful tune, akin to celestial music naturally played upon the breakthrough or enlightenment of a celestial being!

Not far ahead of the three, a graceful figure stood silently. Noticing the entry of outsiders, it turned its head slightly, seemingly listening to the unique rhythm of Shen Mo and the others’ bodies and souls.

Through the diffused light, the features of this silhouette could be faintly discerned.

Its face appeared delicate and pure, its figure graceful and slender, exuding an aura of sacredness and inviolability with elegance and composure.

Most notable is its earlobes, appearing long, full, and crystal-clear, in harmony unlike the conspicuousness of disciples like Village Chief Wang Tie and Guo Yun, adding a touch of serene dignity to its disposition... In this God Realm world, there were no others besides this silhouette. Given such distinct features, without much thought, it was clear that it was the Long Eared God!

According to the intel provided by Guan Ling, the fake god born from the corpse of Empyrean Fairy initially lacked a fixed form, often appearing as a divine light, a divine fire, or a phantom; however, over countless years, as disciples and followers worshiped and prayed, they would unconsciously envision the fake god’s image. Upon sensing the will of the disciples, the image of the fake god became ever closer to the thoughts of the masses!

Such was true for the Martial Might God, as was the Long Eared God.

The Long Eared God originally had a calm demeanor, devoid of any expression. As it heard the unique rhythm of Shen Mo and the others, it suddenly broke into a smile. But the smile lasted only for a brief moment, soon replaced by confusion, doubt, incomprehension, and anger. Clearly, it had sensed Shen Mo’s true nature.

The next moment, the Long Eared God reclaimed the Long Eared Divine Power it had "bestowed" upon Shen Mo and stripped him of his disciple status.

Shen Mo could sense the Divine Power derived from his own Essence and Qi as "Self God" starting to dissipate continuously, like water without a source or a tree without roots, disappearing at a pace that in half the incense stick’s time would leave him devoid of all Divine Power.

"That’s enough!"

Shen Mo was indifferent to the loss of Divine Power; he needed Divine Power merely to activate the effect of the Divine Rune, used to imprison and subdue the Long Eared God. As long as he subdued it before all the Divine Power dissipated, that would suffice.

Immediately, he employed Destiny’s [Riding the Clouds and Mist], with clouds rising beneath his feet, carrying him toward the Long Eared God to strike.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Chen and Jiang, who remained at their previous position, took down their bows and shot several arrows at the Long Eared God.

Seeing the Long Eared God sweep its hand, the world resonated with strange sonic fluctuations, with the sword style aimed at its body shattering like hitting an iron wall. At that same time, Shen Mo felt each inch of flesh and every drop of blood in his entirety seeming to resonate, as if hit by a strong spell.

However, his physical vitality was far stronger, surpassing even the Formless Realm. Even among True Immortals, he was not at a disadvantage, further enhanced by the [Indestructible Body] blessing. Long Eared God’s methods, aside from producing peculiar sounds from his body,

couldn’t cause him the smallest measure of harm!

In the blink of an eye, Shen Mo appeared before the Long Eared God, with terror reflected in its expression as he punched it to the ground.
