Chapter 463 The Person Who Conferred Godhood
The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon chuckled, then opened its mouth wide and spat out a ball of black light.
The black light collided with the white light bursting from the Confucian sage's fingertips, and even the surrounding space became distorted because of these two incredibly powerful forces.
The battle between celestial beings was powerful enough to destroy a small world. Although the Confucian Sage had not yet become a celestial being, and the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was not in its true form, the aftershocks of their clash of power still gave the impression of causing the surrounding space to collapse.
The clash between the power of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon and the Confucian Sage was no less intense than the collision of two minor worlds. The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon appeared quite relaxed, but sweat was already beading on the Confucian Sage's forehead.
Ultimately, although the Confucian Sage was very close to the realm of Celestial Immortals, he was still not a Celestial Immortal. The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, on the other hand, was a top figure even among Celestial Immortals. Even though what appeared here was not the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon in its true form and was far less powerful than the real Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, it was still beyond the Confucian Sage's ability to handle.
Compared to the Sage of War, who was severely injured in a single encounter, the Sage of Confucianism held out for quite some time, proving himself to be the strongest among the human race's sages. However, even the Sage of Confucianism could only hold out for a little longer under the power of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon.
Before long, the black light spewed out by the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon almost completely overwhelmed the white light emanating from the Confucian Sage's fingertips. Furthermore, the Confucian Sage retreated step by step, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Pfft!" The Confucian sage suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground—it seemed that his injuries were even more serious than those of the military sage before him.
"You are indeed quite capable," the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon said in a low voice. "However, since I have been summoned here by the Demon-Summoning Banner, according to the will of the one who summoned me, all of you humans will perish here today. You cannot blame me!"
As he spoke, the aura emanating from the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon suddenly became fierce, as if it was about to launch a terrifying attack that would kill all the humans present.
Not only was the Sage of War defeated, but even the Confucian Sage, the strongest among the human race's sages, was defeated by the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon. This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the human race's sages.
A Celestial Immortal-level expert is simply too powerful; those who haven't reached the Celestial Immortal realm cannot possibly resist them. Even though the one appearing here isn't the true form of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, it still holds an overwhelming advantage over the human saints.
Even Yuan Tiangang, the human race's chief strategist who always boasted of his profound understanding of the heavens, sighed in utter despair, "It seems that Heaven is ultimately determined to destroy our human race! Heaven is determined to destroy our human race!"
It was thought that after the darkness of the Middle Ages, the human race was finally about to usher in a golden age. However, the sudden appearance of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon plunged the human race, which had just seen the dawn, back into endless darkness.
At this moment, even in Lin Fei's mind, another Yuan Tiangang, who existed as the Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit, was extremely anxious and said, "How could this be? How could this be? If the past is changed, won't the future also undergo earth-shattering changes?"
In the Middle Ages, the human sages stormed the demon palace, annihilating the demon race and ushering in the golden age of humanity. But now, if the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon were to wipe out all the human sages here, no one could predict what would happen next.
Lin Fei's expression, however, became increasingly strange.
As the aura of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon grew stronger, a subtle change was also taking place within Lin Fei's storage space.
Lin Fei's original storage space was sealed by the system after he entered the system's instance space. Everything inside that wasn't obtained through system redemption was unusable.
However, at this moment, a force emanated from Lin Fei's storage space, as if the sealed items inside were trying to break free from the system's seal and rush out.
And that thing was none other than the Investiture of the Gods, which Lin Fei obtained from the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace, symbolizing the supreme status of the Nine Heavens Emperor!
The Investiture of the Gods seemed to sense the aura of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, and became restless, showing a tendency to break free from the system's seal and escape from Lin Fei's storage space.
It seems that while this system is incredibly powerful, it is not omnipotent. The Investiture of the Gods is a rare treasure in the world, symbolizing the status of the Nine Heavens Emperor. Even a powerful system cannot completely seal it away.
Just as the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon's momentum had reached its peak and it was about to launch a devastating attack on all the humans present, the Investiture of the Gods finally broke through the system's seal and escaped from Lin Fei's storage space.
The Investiture of the Gods was radiant with golden light, floating above Lin Fei's head, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Whether it was the human saints, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, or those few demon saints, all of them were looking at Lin Fei.
Although the Investiture of the Gods is a supreme treasure symbolizing the identity of the Nine Heavens Emperor, it is the highest secret of the ancient Heavenly Court. Not to mention that people in the Middle Ages did not know it, even in ancient times, probably only beings of the level of an emperor would know what the Investiture of the Gods really was.
Therefore, although both the human saints and the demon saints of the demon race vaguely sensed the extraordinary nature of this object, none of them knew what it was.
However, unlike these people, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was not only a figure from ancient times, but also the mount of the Nine Heavens Emperor. It knew more about the existence of the Investiture of the Gods than anyone else.
Therefore, upon seeing the suddenly appearing Investiture of the Gods, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was extremely surprised, even forgetting to launch its attack on the humans. It stared blankly at the Investiture of the Gods floating above Lin Fei's head, thinking incredulously, "The Investiture of the Gods? How is this possible? How could the Investiture of the Gods appear here?"
The Investiture of the Gods slowly unfolded above Lin Fei's head. The Investiture of the Gods was blank except for the name Lin Fei was written at the very top: the Supreme God of Heaven, the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens: Li Longyuan.
Although Lin Fei has now obtained the Investiture of the Gods, it only contains Lin Fei's name. As for the other gods, Lin Fei has not yet had time to write their names on it.
The words on the Investiture of the Gods require a certain level of cultivation to be decipherable. Apart from the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, who possessed such cultivation, none of the others present could see what was written on the Investiture of the Gods. Even the Confucian Sage could only vaguely make out a single line of text on the Investiture of the Gods, unable to discern its full content.
When the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon saw the words on the Investiture of the Gods, he instantly realized: "So this person is actually the one chosen by the Emperor to be conferred the title of God!"
