Chapter 484 – Divine Battle: Fist of the Sun!

“Now, I possess the qualifications to participate in a divine war!”

“Hum!”

Stepping out from the Life Spirit Garden into the cosmic void, Mu Lin’s first sensation was one of chaos and distortion.

The shattered space left Mu Lin disoriented, unable to distinguish north from south, while the disordered time made it impossible for him to anticipate when attacks would come.

At the same time, the inability to grasp time meant his attacks posed no threat to a True God—random strikes might only hit reflections of the past or illusions of the future.

Beyond the chaos of time and space, Mu Lin was also affected by various rules.

The Heavenly Martial True Lord, fighting with all his might against opponents of the same rank, had unleashed his Dharma Domain to its limit, suppressing Mu Lin’s mystical arts and forcing him to rely solely on physical combat. It was impossible for the True Lord to weaken his domain’s power for Mu Lin’s sake—doing so would be akin to seeking death.

Apart from the True Lord, the influence of the deities’ Dharma Domains on Mu Lin was even greater.

The law of decay caused Mu Lin’s body to age rapidly… along with his mana and mystical arts.

Within the decay domain, even if Mu Lin stood still, his mana would deplete at a rate hundreds of times faster. If he cast a spell, its decay would accelerate even more—once a spell left his body, it would wither away at a rate thousands of times faster.

Such powerful rules meant that spells that could originally affect hundreds of miles were now limited to a range of about a kilometer around him.

The Night Demon’s domain of darkness could silence and extinguish everything. The combination of these two domains further diminished the power of cultivators’ mystical arts.

Beyond decay and darkness, the Mother of Nest Worms’ law of reproduction was equally terrifying.

Under its influence, Mu Lin was shocked to discover that his belly had swollen.

Worms were gestating within his body, seeking to absorb his energy and grow rapidly.

“…”

Merely standing still subjected him to the influence of numerous rules, while the chaotic and shattered time and space could grind everything to nothingness. This was the battlefield of a divine war.

Dangerous, terrifying, forbidden, chaotic… this was not something an Earth Immortal could even approach. Even a Celestial Master, exerting every ounce of strength, could only struggle to survive.

And this was merely the aftermath of the chaotic battle.

Mu Lin’s current situation was far from favorable—a True God had already set its sights on him.

Relying on numerical superiority, the first to rush to Mu Lin’s side was not the Night Demon deity, who harbored the deepest hatred and killing intent toward him.

Human Race True Lords were frantically intercepting the approaching deities, and the Night Demon’s guardian deity hesitated, not charging ahead.

The first to reach Mu Lin was the Mother of Nest Worms.

She wielded the law of reproduction, which was closely tied to life. She sought to devour the Life Authority to complete herself.

Driven by greed and madness, she charged the fastest.

Although her appearance was pitiful by the time she reached Mu Lin, her eyes held no fear—only excitement.

“I arrived first. You are mine…”

The Mother of Nest Worms, now before Mu Lin, laughed maniacally. Clearly, she believed that once she closed the distance, she could quickly resolve Mu Lin, either devouring him or transforming him into her follower.

Even though Mu Lin now stood three thousand meters tall, his body brimming with boundless light energy, she showed no fear whatsoever.

“A True God is not something an ant can withstand!”

“Squeak!!”

With a piercing insect cry, Mu Lin suddenly realized that his body was showing signs of disintegration.

At this moment, it was no longer just his belly that was nurturing worms—his blood, his bones, his cells, all were transforming into worms.

A single insect cry could instantly turn billions of people into worms. This was the Mother of Nest Worms, a True God of exalted status.

Yet, though She was powerful, Mu Lin was no lamb to be slaughtered.

As he had said before, he now possessed the qualification to participate in the struggle!

“I am the sun!”

“My Authority—Purify all!”

“Boom!!”

Feeling the mutation in his body, Mu Lin unleashed his ultimate technique, transforming his three-thousand-meter Divine Form into a vast and magnificent sun.

The Sunfire incinerated everything, carrying within it a light that purified all.

Under this radiance, the anomalies within Mu Lin’s body were instantly purified as Impurity.

Moreover, the Sunfire and endless light radiating from Mu Lin’s body began to spread into the Cosmic Void.

At this moment, Mu Lin clearly intended to recreate the scene from the Northern Wastelands, letting endless sunlight burn and purify everything.

But then, Mu Lin discovered that the light radiating from his body could only spread about ten thousand meters.

Although this light was still powerful, it was incomparable to the scene in the Northern Wastelands, where a single sun illuminated mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.

There was no helping it—the rules here were too chaotic. Decay, night, madness, forbidden arts… these Authorities could all affect the propagation of light imbued with Purification.

If not for the sheer size of the sun Mu Lin had transformed into and the immense energy released in its burning state, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain even this ten-thousand-meter light Domain.

And in the next moment, Mu Lin’s light Domain, infused with Purification and death, was breached.

The Mother of Nest Worms charged forward. Well, as She entered the Purification light Domain, She was momentarily affected by the rays, and Her aura weakened by an insignificant amount—the Purification light was purifying Her Impurity.

But in the next instant, She activated the powerful adaptive instinct of the worms. Her body transformed into a crystalline form, with flames burning inside, resembling a firefly.

In this state, She could not only withstand high temperatures, but Her crystal-like body, much like Mu Lin’s light body, could absorb light and convert it into energy.

Thus, Mu Lin’s sunlight soon became unable to affect Her and instead became nourishment for Her growth.

“I told you, mortals cannot oppose Deities!”

The Mother of Nest Worms’ words and the scene before him indeed made Mu Lin narrow his eyes.

But soon, he smiled indifferently:

“Indeed, pure energy cannot oppose Deities. But it’s not just you who has rules—I have them too!”

“True intent of death, emerge!”

“My Dominating Will can destroy everything!”

“Boom!”

Clenching his fist, Mu Lin gathered endless nuclear energy within it, with the true intent of death and an overbearing divine will attached to his fist.

“Hum…”

The convergence of infinite energy made Mu Lin’s fist seem to transform into light—a ray of sunlight.

The light was so dazzling that even the chaotic and anomalous battlefield could not completely obscure the spread of the sun’s radiance.

Because of this light, many on the battlefield noticed Mu Lin, and then, they were all stunned:

“That’s… Mu Lin??? It’s only been three days, how has he changed like this? And why is his strength so formidable?”

The peak strength of a Celestial Master was nothing remarkable to the gods and True Lords present, but they all knew that when Mu Lin entered the Life Spirit Garden, he was only an Earth Master.

After just three days, he had advanced from an Earth Master to a Celestial Master—and not just any Celestial Master, but one among the elite. This rate of advancement was absurdly fast, leaving even the Celestial Deities and True Lords momentarily stunned.

After the initial shock, the Evil Gods grew increasingly restless.

Mu Lin’s rapid growth made them genuinely feel threatened.

As for the True Lords, they were immensely encouraged… They saw hope for ending the chaos and calamities of this era.

…

Mu Lin was still unaware of the thoughts of the Celestial Masters and True Lords. At this moment, he was only focused on the Mother of Nest Worms, pouring all his energy into gathering power into his fist.

The convergence of endless light made Mu Lin feel as though his hand had truly vanished, melted away by the boundless radiance.

Yet, even though his hand seemed to disappear, through his own Dominating Will, Mu Lin still managed to concentrate the light within his grasp.

In the next moment, with a “hum!” Mu Lin’s light wings flashed behind him, and he shot forward like a streak of light, arriving before the Mother of Nest Worms.

The fist, charged with boundless power, was then unleashed by Mu Lin.

“Take my Nuclear Fist!”

“Boom!”
