Armipotent

It was the same flame transformation which he did not know what it was about. All the God Ranks transformed their bodies into their perspective elements. And he was fighting against The Flame God Rank again, 'Is that something you get when you reach God Rank?' He asked Zara. Zara was now a God Rank, so he expected for her to know something about this elemental body. Knowing what it did might help him to fight the God Rank.

[I also don't know. I don't get any skills even though I am at the same level as a God Rank. I think it's different for a spirit.] Zara did not know anything about the elemental body. And she did not even know about the God Domain.

"Barbarian oh barbarian. Can you respond when someone is speaking to you? Are you deaf or a mute?" The unknown Flame God Rank still tried to make a conversation with Tang Shaoyang for some reason, and Tang Shaoyang did not want to humor the man.

"You came out of the God Domain alone…. Did you kill Irnus from the Allurion Alliance?" Not getting the answer, the Flame God Rank looked around, trying to find Irnus who was supposed to fight Tang Shaoyang. At least, he was informed that the main target was fighting in a God Domain, and that was why he had been waiting here, waiting for Tang Shaoyang. He just did not expect that Tang Shaoyang would return while Irnus was nowhere to be seen. 

He opened the void crack on his back and also the space behind The Flame God Rank. One of his tails entered the voice crack, grabbing the Flame God Rank who was caught off guard. The Flame God Rank was slammed to the ground with his head first, not just once, but dozens of times. He then brought the Flame God Rank closer to his head and spat the dark poison on the Flame God Rank. It would be foolish of him to not use Dark Poison after knowing how potent his poison was.

The Flame God Rank screamed in agony as the flame pillar burst out of his body. Tang Shaoyang released the Flame God Rank from his tail because the flame was actually hurting his tail. That explained that the man in front of him might be stronger than Irnus, at least, that pure crimson flame was stronger than Irnus' golden flame.

The Flame God Rank slowly got back on his feet, coughing up as the poison got into his system. He realized he had been poisoned and immediately created a distance. Yet, it was another victim who underestimated Tang Shaoyang just because he was one lower rank.

The unknown Flame God Rank took out a vial with pristine golden liquid in it. He was about to chug down the liquid, but Tang Shaoyang would not allow the man to drink the antidote. Dozens of void cracks appeared, surrounding the Flame God Rank. His three tails came out from the three different cracks. The fastest tail smashed The Flame God Rank, destroying the vial and smashing the hand. Then his second tail grabbed his right ankle while the third tail got the left hand. His tails coiled around the ankle and the left hand before pulling them.

"ARRRGGGHHHH!"

Tang Shaoyang forcefully pulled the man's limbs off his body. The right foot and the left arm snapped as blood spurted out. However, the Flame God Rank quickly regenerated his missing limbs. He recovered within five seconds. He knew that he could not stay still or else Tang Shaoyang would rip him apart. His figure disappeared from the void crack encirclement, a Blink.

The Flame God Rank tried to escape, trying to make his way toward where Doombringer was. He tried to regroup with his friends for help, but he could not escape from Tang Shaoyang's Spirit Eyes.

After learning the Void Elemental and Master of Void, Tang Shaoyang was brave enough to travel through the void. He formed a giant crack at his size and moved right above the Flame God Rank. His descending speed from the sky caught The Flame God Rank in surprise. He slammed the Flame God Rank to the ground, pinning the man with his paw.

The Dark Poison had completely affected not just The Flame God Rank's body but also his energy. The crimson flame turned murky flame, just like Irnus before dying. They showed similar symptoms even though this one looked stronger than Irnus. It showed how potent his Dark Poison was, to take effect this fast, giving them a little chance to recover.

"Speak! Who are you? Where are you from? The federation or church?" Tang Shaoyang's four dragon heads came closer, observing the dying God Rank.

Ptui!

The Flame God Rank spat onto one of the heads, and his spit was fire instead of liquid. The fire was the size of an adult's thumb, and the spit hit the chin that did nothing, "Federation or Church? Buahahaha… You have angered someone you should not have angered. You, your people, and your empire will face destruction. It's a pity that I will not be able to witness you get destroyed!"

"A pitiful performance." Tang Shaoyang lost interest in interrogating The Flame God Rank. Not because he did not want to, but because it would take time to crack someone like this one. From the tone, expressions, and also the unyielding spirit, it was not going to be easy to make the Flame God Rank speak. Not when he had a limited time like now.

"Pitiful performance? Taste this pitiful performance, You Barbarian!" The murky flame blazed, it got brighter and brighter. He was about to blow himself, trying to take Tang Shaoyang with him.

Tang Shaoyang sensed the unstable and growing energy, and he acted faster before the Flame God Rank blew himself up. The youngest head spits out Void Energy, creating a black hole right at the Flame God Rank's head. The black hole twisted the head, crushing the firehead into dust, and the murky fire disappeared as the explosion was canceled.

[You have killed a God Rank, ???]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have reached Level 16974!]

He got less and less level the more God Rank he killed. The first kill of the God Rank gave him a lot of levels, almost doubling the second kill, and double the level for the third kill. It was normal because he was so high up there. He was not surprised if he got less than a thousand levels for the fourth God Rank kill.

His attention immediately shifted toward Doombringer after killing the unknown Flame God Rank. He got no information about where he came from. From the way the man spoke, they were not from the church or the federation. It meant another faction was involved in this fight, and the most suspicious one was the Giteron Dynasty who also tried to take over the Tang Empire.

Tang Shaoyang focused his Spirit Eyes toward where Doombringer was, but then a roar traveled to his ear. It was Doombringer's roar. The Calamity Behemoth was on the ground, his four limbs were pierced by the Ice Blades. A net made of golden lightning kept The Calamity Behemoth on the ground.

The two God Ranks floated above the struggling Doombringer. One of the strongest spirits was down, and he was surprised that it was Doombringer who fell first. From the other spirits' reaction, he thought Doombringer might be the strongest spirit, even compared to Avyn. It was a surprise that the behemoth was the first spirit to be taken down.

The Lightning God Rank held a spear in his hand, and the Ice God Rank had a sword. Above them, more Ice Blades formed. The two God Ranks were about to kill Doombringer, and Tang Shaoyang had two choices here. He had the time to save The Calamity Behemoth, but he also had a chance to kill two God Ranks at the same time while the two focused on Doombringer. This was the golden chance that might not come again later.

It was quite a difficult choice for Tang Shaoyang to make in a split second. If he helped Doombringer, he might gain the Calamity Behemoth. That might help him in the future, Doombringer might listen to his order. However, it was not a certainty, not a hundred percent that Doombringer would listen to him. But the chance of him killing the two God Ranks was quite high, higher than the chance that Doombringer would be obedient in the future. It was hard to make a prideful being like Doombringer listen to his order, after all.

Tang Shaoyang made the obvious choice, killing the two God Ranks. The God Ranks launched their assault. The Lightning God Rank threw his lightning spear toward Doombringer's head while the giant ice blades descended toward the helpless Doombringer. At the same time, a massive void crack formed behind the two God Ranks. Tang Shaoyang appeared right behind, and at that moment, Doombringer stared at Tang Shaoyang with resentment and anger. The Archaic Spirit realized that Tang Shaoyang could save him, but his Master chose to let him die and killed the two God Ranks.
