Peerless Martial God 2 Chapter 1733: Godly King Taotie vs. Godly Emperor Purple Dragon!
Previously on Peerless Martial God 2...
Godly Emperor Nine Netherworlds turned back, casting a fearful glance at Godly King Taotie. Excitement had vanished from his demeanor, replaced by apprehension.
He had already conceded defeat. The manner of his loss remained incomprehensible, yet the fact of his opponent's overwhelming strength was undeniable.
“I have won. May I enter the temple as a regular member?” Godly King Taotie inquired with indifference towards the guard.
The guard offered a curt nod, a flicker of displeasure crossing his face, but he dared not antagonize Godly King Taotie. “Remain calm,” he stated coldly. “Await the conclusion of the other Godly Kings’ matches, and then I shall escort you and the other qualified contenders to the temple.”
“Very well,” Lin Feng acknowledged with a smile. Since he found himself within the Ancestral World, dedicating some time to it was no inconvenience. Chi You and the imposter Tian Dao were unlikely to recover their strength anytime soon.
Godly Emperor Purple Dragon, too, was now eligible to enter the temple as a regular member. Lin Feng observed Godly King Horned Mahoraga, whose confidence seemed unshaken.
“Brother Taotie, who do you believe will secure qualification?” Godly Emperor Purple Dragon inquired. Seated beside Lin Feng, he offered a smile while subtly observing him, his true thoughts remaining concealed.
Lin Feng felt compelled to respond and stated with measured indifference, “Godly King Horned Mahoraga will emerge victorious!” He gestured towards Godly King Golden Dragon and Godly King Horned Mahoraga, who were currently engaged in combat.
Upon hearing this, Godly Emperor Purple Dragon couldn't suppress a thin smile. “I, however,” he responded, a hint of annoyance in his tone, “predict that Brother Godly King Golden Dragon will prevail. Shall we engage in a wager?”
“A wager on what?” Lin Feng asked. The prospect of a bet offered a welcome diversion from his boredom.
“Haha! We beasts relish the subjugation and torment of humans, do we not? Therefore, should I lose, my three million human slaves shall be yours. If I win, you forfeit yours. What say you?”
“Agreed!” Lin Feng declared. Despite the unsettling implication of being a slave owner, he had no alternative. Maintaining his guise as Godly King Taotie necessitated this agreement; refusal would invariably invite suspicion.
Witnessing Lin Feng’s unperturbed demeanor, Godly Emperor Purple Dragon’s doubts were entirely dispelled. This was indeed the familiar Godly King Taotie.
Godly Emperor Purple Dragon and Godly King Golden Dragon were blood brothers. Godly King Horned Mahoraga and Godly King Taotie shared an indirect familial connection; Godly King Taotie’s wife was Godly King Horned Mahoraga’s elder sister.
Consequently, the clash between Godly King Horned Mahoraga and Godly King Golden Dragon inadvertently escalated into a contest between Godly Emperor Purple Dragon and Lin Feng.

The battle raged with formidable intensity and suspense. Godly King Golden Dragon and Godly King Horned Mahoraga had been locked in combat for three arduous hours, both nearing exhaustion. All other Godly Kings had concluded their contests. Godly Emperor Ghost and Godly King Giant Head had also successfully earned their places within the temple.
However, the prolonged duel between Godly King Golden Dragon and Godly King Horned Mahoraga continued unabated.
Abruptly, Godly King Golden Dragon transmogrified into a colossal dragon, stretching hundreds of zhang in length. Its body was sheathed in resplendent scales, exuding an awe-inspiring presence. Its horns, extending for several hundred meters, appeared capable of obliterating anything in their path!
With the sole exceptions of Lin Feng and Godly Emperor Purple Dragon, all others, including Godly Emperor Ghost, felt an palpable sense of pressure.
“Hmph! Let us conclude this engagement now!” Godly King Golden Dragon roared, launching himself towards Godly King Horned Mahoraga. Forsaking any special techniques, he relied solely on the inherent might of dragons – their raw physical strength!
“Hmph! You believe I fear you?” Godly King Horned Mahoraga retaliated, similarly transforming into a titanic mahoraga. It too measured hundreds of meters, its form a striking contrast of crimson and black hues, its eyes burning with malevolence. Drool dripped from its maw, revealing a primal desire to annihilate Godly King Golden Dragon.
Observing this turn of events, Godly Emperor Purple Dragon's expression shifted, a premonition of impending defeat for Godly King Golden Dragon gnawing at him. With a surge, he transformed into a streak of light.
Lin Feng mirrored this action, swiftly following in pursuit of Godly King Horned Mahoraga.
The two monstrous forms collided violently. Godly King Golden Dragon was sent hurtling backward, emitting an enraged cry before reverting to his human form and plummeting from the sky. Godly Emperor Purple Dragon caught him and retaliated with a powerful punch aimed at the mahoraga.
Godly King Horned Mahoraga was also repelled, although with significantly less force than Godly King Golden Dragon. Upon witnessing Godly Emperor Purple Dragon’s strike, apprehension surged within him; he recognized his inability to contend with such power. Terrifying energies emanated outwards, engulfing him.
“Brother, aid me!” Godly King Horned Mahoraga’s voice cracked, his gaze imploring Lin Feng. Obligated to maintain his impersonation of Godly King Taotie, and sensing Godly Emperor Purple Dragon’s underestimation of him, Lin Feng decided to seize this opportunity to feign outrage.
“You have violated the rules! Do you truly believe I shall not unleash my fury?” Lin Feng bellowed, his voice icy. His attention was fixed on a blood-red fist hurtling through the air.
Godly Emperor Purple Dragon’s punch, imbued with the formidable strength of a dragon, suffused the atmosphere with an oppressive aura, evoking a sense of desolation and despair.
With a supreme strike from each Godly King, a truly astonishing scene unfolded. Lin Feng unleashed a palm strike, simultaneously pushing aside Godly King Horned Mahoraga to avoid any harm.
“Haha! Show me your true power, you stinking taotie!” Godly Emperor Purple Dragon declared coldly, infusing his fist with star strength.
“I shall not disappoint,” Lin Feng replied. He channeled the power of his Ancestral Body, concealing it carefully. Godly Emperor Purple Dragon, being merely a minor Earthly Godly Ancestor, was oblivious to its presence.
A moment of profound silence followed the collision of their attacks, punctuated by the distressed cries of many beasts. The assembled Godly Kings appeared utterly bewildered.
After a considerable duration, the mingled purple and red lights finally dissipated. Yet, Godly Emperor Purple Dragon and Godly King Taotie were nowhere to be seen amidst the dissipating energy. They stood apart, silent, as if the momentous clash had never occurred.
“Let us depart,” Feng stated indifferently to Godly King Horned Mahoraga. Refusing to defy his brother-in-law, Godly King Horned Mahoraga trailed behind him.
“Return and recuperate!” Godly Emperor Purple Dragon admonished Godly King Golden Dragon, his sense of humiliation palpable due to Godly King Golden Dragon’s defeat.
Since Godly King Golden Dragon had caused his brother to lose face, he remained voiceless and departed alone.
Godly Emperor Ghost and Godly Emperor Giant Head had already positioned themselves beside the guards, awaiting escort into the inner temple.
The inner temple and the Godly Temple were not situated in ordinary space; only auditor beasts resided there. Truly powerful cultivators inhabited the inner temple and the Godly Temple!
