Chapter 273: Chapter 272: Divine Descent of the Eternal Hunt, Taking the Offensive

SHIIINK!

A golden-red wolf’s claw suddenly emerged from the void and brutally pierced through Su Ye’s back!

Then, it clenched hard!

’I’ve won!’

Over countless years, through innumerable slaughters and hunts, its combat skills had reached an impeccable level!

It was utterly convinced that this one grasp was enough to crush the outsider’s heart.

’Sink into eternal slumber!’

However, its claw felt none of the warmth of a human heart.

"Huh?"

VMMM.

The next instant, Su Ye’s body flared with a sapphire-blue spiritual light!

SPLASH.

Clear water splashed everywhere, scattering across the ground!

In the blink of an eye, Su Ye’s body of flesh and blood had dissolved into a pool of pure water!

At the same time, WHOOSH.

Several hundred meters away, a pool of water rippled, and Su Ye’s figure re-formed from within it!

Water Escape Skill!

This Five Elements Escape Skill seemed ordinary on the surface.

But in reality, it was an excellent technique for evading calamities, cheating death, and preserving one’s life!

It was precisely by relying on this Water Escape Skill that Su Ye had managed to dodge the fatal blow without a scratch!

Even so, his expression remained grave!

"Huuuh..."

Su Ye took a deep breath, a chill running through him.

’If my Divine Sense hadn’t already advanced to the fourth tier, greatly enhancing my perception and reaction speed, allowing me to activate the Water Escape...’

’Otherwise, right now...’

Su Ye couldn’t help but raise a hand to his chest.

If he had been even a fraction of a second slower just now... even for an instant!

This heart... would probably never beat again!

’Such terrifying stealth... who is it?’

Su Ye’s gaze locked onto the spot where he had just been standing.

WHOOSH.

The enormous, headless corpse of Prince Tewa Kan lay sprawled on the ground. A small hole had been torn open in the center of its chest.

A figure was standing upon it.

It was shrouded in a golden-red light, its face indistinct. It wasn’t tall, only the size of a normal person.

Yet, it radiated an aura that could only be described as terrifying!

’What intense pressure...’

’The concentration of divinity on this monster is several times stronger than the Fertile Divine Abomination’s!’

Su Ye’s pupils contracted.

A frightening guess surfaced in his mind.

"You are... the Eternal Hunting God?"

"Precisely."

Unexpectedly, the golden-red figure standing on the corpse nodded.

"Outsider, you have guessed correctly."

"This is one of my Divine Incarnations!"

Hearing this, Su Ye’s expression turned grim.

The Eternal Hunting God, protector of Tewa Kan City, the deity who commanded ’Hunting’ and ’Death’!

—had descended!

Even as just an incarnation, it subjected Su Ye to terrifying pressure!

’Pure and dazzling divinity...’

’Even though its total Spiritual Power isn’t shocking, the pressure is still immense...’

’Wait...’

As this thought crossed his mind, a flicker of understanding appeared in Su Ye’s eyes.

He seemed to have grasped a key point!

Just then, the Eternal Hunter Incarnation spoke with indifference.

"Outsider, your strength and talent are quite impressive. You are worthy of being my prey... Therefore, I will give you a chance."

"I will not attack you again for another twenty seconds!"

"During this time, you may try to run... Your struggle will bring me greater pleasure..."

"What do you say?"

The Eternal Hunter Incarnation proposed calmly.

Twenty seconds!

Right now, Jiaojiao was already piloting the Ghostly Flood Dragon toward this location!

If the Eternal Hunter Incarnation kept its promise, the probability of Su Ye rendezvousing with the Ghostly Flood Dragon was very high!

Once aboard the spirit vessel, he would be able to attack or retreat at will!

Without a doubt, it was a very tempting offer!

However, Su Ye looked up, the corner of his mouth curling into a mocking smile as he stared at the Eternal Hunter Incarnation on the corpse.

"You idiot, still putting on an act!"

BOOM!

A muffled explosion erupted beneath his feet as a sapphire Escape Light flared. He swung his Moonfall Halberd, slashing toward the Eternal Hunter Incarnation!

He didn’t run! He didn’t dodge! He even... took the initiative to attack!

SHIIINK!

The silvery, frost-colored Moon Arc tore through the air with a piercing shriek!

"Damn you!"

"Insignificant mortal, you have enraged me!"

A cold glint shot from the Eternal Hunter Incarnation’s eyes as its anger flared.

But faced with Su Ye’s attack, the seemingly unrivaled Eternal Hunter Incarnation chose to dodge!

VMMM.

Its figure flickered, darting to the side!

The curved Moon Arc blade sliced down. The mangled corpse of Tewa Kan, along with the ground nearby, looked as if it had been hit by a cannonball!

Flesh and dirt splattered everywhere!

"Haha!"

"Is dodging all you can do? Is this what a god is?!"

Su Ye laughed wildly.

He swung the Moonfall Halberd again and again, the force of the blows whistling through the air.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ground trembled as crater after crater appeared, sending dust and smoke billowing into the air!

The Eternal Hunter Incarnation looked pathetic, using its Teleportation Skill to dart left and right, desperately dodging with none of the dignity of a god!

SPLAT.

Mud splattered across its face.

Though it was only there for an instant before being vaporized by Divine Power, the indignity made it fly into a rage, its killing intent boiling over!

"AAAAAAH!!!"

"You defile the radiance of a god, outsider! I will burn your soul for a thousand years!"

"Go on, you can try!"

Su Ye sneered.

"Stop making empty threats and stop dodging! Let’s see who dies!"

"You piece of trash! Do you dare?"

Su Ye’s mockery was relentless!

Faced with his taunts, the Eternal Hunter Incarnation’s face was ashen, but it truly did not dare to face him head-on!

On the rare occasions it couldn’t dodge and was forced to clash, it always came out on the losing end!

’Just as I thought!’

At that moment, Su Ye became completely certain of his suspicions!

’There haven’t been any divine descents on the Far South Continent for nearly a thousand years... Is it because the gods don’t want to? No! It’s because they *can’t*!’

’Due to the world’s decline, the power of the gods has also waned... Weaker ones like the Goddess of Fertility have fallen into slumber and perished, while stronger ones like the Eternal Hunting God are stretched thin...’

’Therefore, even for a god, the amount of power they can bring down into the mortal world is definitely limited!’

’The Eternal Hunter Incarnation’s original plan was probably to possess its own descendant, using their shared divinity and bloodline as a vessel. That would have been enough to unleash the power of a mid-to-late fourth-tier being!’

’However, its plans fell through. The Prince Tewa Kan, on whom it had pinned such high hopes, was instantly beheaded by me when I acted with caution and caught him off guard...’

’As a result, the Eternal Hunter Incarnation was forced to abandon that body... It used its remaining power to launch a sneak attack to kill me... but it failed again!’

’And the cost of that attack was definitely not low!’

With Su Ye’s sharp spiritual senses and fourth-tier Divine Sense, a perception of that level, he could only sense the attack a mere instant before it struck!

’How could the cost of such an attack be low?!’

’After that one strike, the Eternal Hunter Incarnation’s power... entered a low point!’

’Even as a Divine Incarnation, it needs time to recover and gather its strength...’

’That’s why it had to put on an act and try to intimidate me!’

He had figured it all out!

Su Ye’s eyes turned dark and deep, a bloodthirsty madness surfacing within them. His desire to attack was overwhelming!

He wanted to kill a god!

WHOOSH!

The Moonfall Halberd moved like the wind!

Like an unending tide, his attacks came one after another, wave upon wave!

He completely suppressed the Eternal Hunter Incarnation!

"So this is a god? How laughable!"
