I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [104]
Added 2025-01-21 22:49:45 +0000 UTCOn Yujing Terrace, a determined young woman, steeled with resolve, released an arrow of rebellion aimed at the god she revered most.
Meanwhile, out on the open sea, the adepti were closing in on the two approaching gods.
Despite briefly noticing the disturbances in Yujing Terrace amidst the swirling sands over Liyue Harbor, their focus remained fixed—what lay before them demanded their full attention.
The gods were within striking distance.
The adepti readied their powers, locking eyes with the two gods. The gods, in turn, lifted their gazes, shifting their attention from Liyue Harbor to the approaching adepti.
For a moment, the skies and seas fell into an eerie stillness.
Boom!
The silence shattered with the thunderous roar of a massive ballista firing from one of the Crux fleet’s armed merchant ships.
Originally designed to hunt colossal sea creatures, the bolt crackled with violet lightning imbued by Beidou’s Vision, tearing through the air and piercing the eight-headed serpent god.
“Aargh!”
The serpent god roared in pain, but the next moment, torrents of Hydro energy surged across its body, healing the wound and expelling the electrified bolt. Its many eyes turned, glaring down at the small ship below.
With a thunderous bellow, the serpent unleashed a massive wave, aiming to obliterate the vessel.
“[Whirlwind Strike]!”
A fierce whirlwind descended from the heavens, spinning into a towering cyclone that caught the surging waves, reversing their momentum and scattering them back toward the serpent god.
Zing!
A sharp sound rang out as a long spear sliced through the air, riding the storm. The weapon carried the ferocity of an unstoppable tempest, splitting the sky as it hurtled toward the serpent god, carving through the air like the primordial winds of creation.
Ding-ding-ding...
The crisp chime of a handbell resonated, and a veil of sand and dust gently flowed into the tempest.
In the blink of an eye, the raging storm and the spear that drove it lost their power, dissipating into the air with surprising gentleness.
“Hmph!”
A faint grunt escaped the lips of the Vigilant Yaksha, Xiao. Azure winds swirled from his arm as he forcefully flicked the remnants of sand and dust off his spear. Then, using the momentum, he landed steadily on the sea’s surface and offered a brief nod to Keqing and Beidou aboard the ship.
Spotting Keqing, Xiao’s brow furrowed slightly, but he held his silence.
The serpent god and the robed goddess turned their gazes toward Xiao, locking onto the Yaksha.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the skies above, torrents of fire, wind, and water surged forth, elemental forces hurled toward the two gods.
An elderly adeptus, who appeared no different from an ordinary old woman, stepped forward, the air shattering with a resounding sonic boom as she leapt with raw physical strength alone. In an instant, she reached the God of Dust.
With a single punch, she struck.
Boom!
The sheer force of her blow rippled outward, a sphere of violent energy seeming to fracture the very world around it. The impact sent the God of Dust hurtling into the ocean, creating a massive explosion as the water erupted into a towering column hundreds of meters high.
Granny Ping did not hesitate. Knowing such a strike could not end the battle, she pushed off the air again, generating another sonic boom as she hurtled toward the god.
Her aged yet unyielding gaze locked onto the God of Dust, whose form was still reforming. She unleashed another punch, simple yet devastating.
Boom!
The second strike dwarfed the first, its explosive force drowning out even the sound of elemental reactions swirling in the air.
The God of Dust was flung across the sea like a skipping stone, her body shattered, her chest bearing a gaping hole where the punch had landed.
“Huff...”
Granny Ping exhaled deeply, placing her hands behind her back as she hunched slightly, her murky gaze fixed on the fallen god with a mix of sorrow and nostalgia.
“You’ve endured much, Guizhong, but today is not the day for your return,” she murmured in her raspy voice.
Turning to the adepti above, where Cloud Retainer and the others were attacking the serpent god, she called out, “Though these gods are formidable, they are significantly weaker than when they were at their full strength. We still have a chance.”
The other adepti nodded in unison.
Xiao stepped lightly across the water, the speed of his movements leaving a long ripple trail in his wake. A mist of blue water enveloped his form, a phenomenon caused by his supersonic flight skimming the ocean’s surface and drawing Hydro energy into the air.
At blinding speed, Xiao struck one of the serpent’s heads, slicing it clean off.
“Aaargh!”
The serpent god’s remaining seven heads roared in unison, their agonized cries reverberating across the sea. But mere seconds later, they seemed to shrug off their pain.
A brilliant white light gathered in one of the serpent’s mouths, coalescing into a concentrated beam of energy.
In the span of a heartbeat, the light split into four searing beams, racing toward the adepti with blinding speed.
The beams tore through the air, surpassing the limits of human perception. In less than three seconds, they reached their targets—Cloud Retainer, Moon Carver, Mountain Shaper, and Xiao.
Boom!
The resulting explosion drowned the battlefield in a cacophony of hissing steam, swirling tornadoes, and clashing Hydro and Pyro elements. Vapor rose in thick clouds, obscuring the area where the adepti once stood.
“Is this… what a battle between adepti looks like?”
On the Crux fleet’s deck, Keqing gripped her longsword tightly, her voice barely above a whisper.
“This… this is beyond anything I could have imagined.”
