“Asura, the six of us were born together, and there wasn’t much difference in strength between us. Now you can obstruct us, but don’t think of using the fact that we’re injured to delay us. You can’t make us retreat again. You’ve got no chance,” Yaksha shouted and threw the divine prong in his hand.

It turned into a blur while rushing toward Asura with the scent of blood.

Asura narrowed his eyes, and his expression turned ugly. He extended his hand to hold back the divine prong, and divine power surged forth, sending the weapon back with a jolt.

He then looked at the expressions of the five ancient gods and saw that using divine energy to intimidate them was useless. It reminded him that someone in Lanlou was scheming against him and the five ancient gods, which resulted in the battle of gods staring in advance, and fury burned in his heart.

“I don’t know what you are talking about. If I had really wanted Heavenly Grand Ritual, then wouldn’t I have stolen it as soon as we returned after losing the battle? Why would I wait until now?

“Also what benefit do I get by stealing it right now? Making you all ally with Lakshmi City to deal with me?

“You all should use your brain a little! There should be someone behind the scenes growing the hatred between us to start the battle of gods in advance.”

“Since you said that it is someone’s scheme, then why don’t you bring that person out? ” Indra said bluntly with disdain in his gaze.

“If you bring him, then it will prove your innocence, and we will retreat immediately.”

“Yes, if you bring the person behind the scenes, we will go away.”

“Definitely won’t remain here!”

The five ancient gods continued one after another, leaving Asura speechless. The five had set their mind that it could only be Asura that could steal the Heavenly Grand Ritual and assassinate yin son of heavens from beyond the heavens.

The ones who could enter the divine palace and the sealed room were only the seven ancient gods and the master god. Apart from them, even if any other ancient god wanted to enter, the seven ancient gods would sense them the moment the unknown entity came in contact with the spell formation.

Ancient Goddess Lakshmi’s remaining soul was in Lakshmi City, and during the competition, she had erupted with divine presence, which made it impossible to regard her as suspect.

The new ancient goddess Liu Qing also was in Lakshmi City, and so were the souls of the five ancient gods, so none of them could have taken action either.

That only left Asura, who had already broken the balance when Lakshmi was injured by trying to devour her soul. How could the five ancient gods not know then how great his ambition was?

Fury burned in Asura’s heart while he gloomily stared at the five ancient gods with divine power surging through his body. Right then, the five ancient gods firmly believed that he was the thief.

Since he couldn’t make them believe that it was nonsense, there was no need to do so. He was only one step away from becoming a master god. If he didn’t have to suppress Lakshmi’s soul, then he wouldn’t even place the five ancient gods in his eyes.

“Since this is the case, there is no need to talk more. I also want to see how much progress you have made after so many years.”

After saying that, two clones came out from Asura City. The three of them looked at the five ancient gods, and divine power surged forth as they threw out divine techniques.

The five ancient gods also didn’t speak nonsense and directly attacked.

The five ancient gods did not fall back after the first exchange. Once the Heavenly Grand Ritual was stolen and yin son of heaven killed, their way forward had been cut off while their path of retreat had the formidable Asura standing on it.

They naturally understood his strength. If they don’t kill Asura right then, they would be the ones to die in the end.

Upon seeing that, Brunhilda rushed to attack, but she only used half her strength, concealing her true power. After crossing swords with Asura, she guessed that his strength had already reached the peak of ancient god realm. He was one step ahead of the five ancient gods, having become a quasi master god.

With the five ancient gods bearing the brunt of the damage, Brunhilda naturally didn’t need to use her full strength. With a card like that up her sleeve, the chance to kill Asura would naturally appear.

When the battle erupted between ancient gods in the sky, musical instruments appeared in the hands of the twelve holy daughters, and they began to play a heavy melody. Once it appeared, almost formless ripples flew out of the musical instruments and fell at the glabella of the gods of the other five clans. Then, divine presences erupted one after another.

“Kill!”

Once this command resounded, countless divine presences rushed toward the gate of Asura City. The subordinates of different gods used their bloodline energy, and multicolored lights blossomed. Their power turned the bushes in the surroundings into ashes.

At the gate of Asura City, Ashbi looked at the countless divine presences flying over and sighed. The battle of gods could not be said to be a battle between ancient gods. All of the gods would have to enter a melee, which would leave Asura City in a vulnerable position.

The total number of gods in Lakshmi City in addition to those under the five ancient gods was ten times more than what Asura City could claim to have. Regardless of how well they fought in the melee, those who entered it would die.

But ancient gods would not retreat, so everyone else could only brace themselves for the fight.

Ashbi turned to the four patriarchs and Li Yunmu and said, “It might be possible for you to protect yourself, but whether you can come out alive will depend on your luck and ability.”

Divine light erupted from his plump body then, and two clones split up from his body.

Deva Clan’s matriarch shot a glance at Li Yunmu, and an expression which was a smile yet not a smile appeared in her eyes.

“I hope the sixth ancestor can survive the melee among gods. Presently, Asura City only has two ancestors, you and lord Ashbi,” she said in a profound tone.

After saying that, Deva Clan’s matriarch advanced toward the gods of the five clans at a leisurely pace. Her charming figure shook like a snake as she advanced towards the main forces of the enemy gods at a pace which was neither fast nor slow. The elders of Deva Clan followed behind her, and they were all advancing using the same footwork.

For a moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have transformed.

When Deva Clan’s matriarch was fifty meters away from the enemy, the army of gods which should have been throwing divine techniques were slightly startled, and their eyes glazed over.

But them, the twelve holy daughters as well as the descendants of the music clans who were standing at the back of the army changed the rhythm of their instruments and from a heavy and sharp melody, their music turned into one full of grief.

Once it echoed in the field, a struggle appeared in the eyes of Yaksha Clan’s gods, who were bearing the brunt of the attack. But the next moment, the elders of Deva Clan swayed again, and the gods of Yaksha Clan fell back into a stunned state.

The other patriarchs of the four clans looked at Li Yunmu, and Rahu Clan’s patriarch said in a meaningful tone, “Sixth ancestor must be careful. We will leave first.”

He then rushed toward the army of gods, and his originally enormous hand began to swell with the plan to cover up the entire sky. Doro Clan followed behind them with three divine techniques which they brought out with their six hands.

Morrow Clan unleashed their bloodline ability, and everyone divided to produce two extra clones. Originally, the Morrow Clan only had two hundred gods. Fifty of those then took the descendants of the clan to security, which left only one hundred and fifty to fight. However, they soon turned into four hundred and fifty. It increased the number of Asura Clan’s gods slightly.

The four hundred and fifty gods immediately charged toward the possessors of heavenly eye in the space between their eyebrows, the gods of Indra clan.

Li Yunmu saw the four clans trying their utmost, but he still remained standing on the same spot outside Asura City. Rat and the other three were behind him, looking at the chaotic war with a hint of shock in their eyes, but not one of them moved.

They knew that Li Yunmu wasn’t someone from Asura City, and after swearing their allegiance to him, they didn’t have any favorable opinion of Asura City, so they didn’t care about the crisis faced by its clans.
