Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Chapter 272: Chapter272:Caught In An Ambush



Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the forest, and blood-red armor materialized around Enzo. He quickly soared into the sky as the ground where he had stood was struck by a fireball, leaving a massive crater that billowed thick smoke.

The surrounding trees exploded into countless fragments.

"Seeking death!"

"How dare you ambush me!"

Enzo was furious. He gazed toward the direction of the fireball. Although he couldn't see anyone, he had already locked onto that energy signature.

In the next instant, Enzo dove down.

Like a streak of blood-red light, he crashed toward a large tree below. As he neared, he threw a powerful punch, unleashing a surge of thunder that shattered the tree and forced the shadow hiding behind it into the open.

To Enzo's shock, the figure didn't look back and started to flee.

"Trying to escape? Too late!"

Enzo was determined not to let this person get away.

His eyes narrowed slightly as the Flame Wings on his back flapped rapidly, propelling him forward.

Just as he closed in, a sudden turn of events occurred.

Enzo burst out of the forest and into the wilderness. Below him, a massive rock emitted a strange energy, and a muscular man clad in silver armor, wielding a large double-handed axe, leaped out. He soared high from the rock, bringing the axe down toward Enzo in mid-air, shouting, "Die!"

That momentum was unstoppable.

Enzo quickly reacted, throwing a punch in the direction of the incoming giant axe.

Boom!

A more intense rumbling sound erupted.

The massive rock below shattered, and Enzo felt a sharp pain in his fist, a trickle of blood flowing from it. The axe had actually pierced through his blood-red armor's defenses, which surprised Enzo.

This giant axe man had some strength.

However, Enzo was unaware that the strong giant axe man was in a state of shock.

This was his full power, and the result—

It only managed to break a bit of Enzo's skin.

How could this be?

The figure that had initially ambushed Enzo and quickly retreated also stopped. He landed next to the giant axe man, both looking at Enzo, who was suspended in mid-air, their expressions equally astonished.

The two of them naturally recognized each other.

As members of the Rage Temple of 'the Temple of the Seven Gods' ,within the Starry Sky , they were just ordinary members, but among the many supernatural beings in Starry Sky, they were considered powerful individuals, especially in comparison to their peers. Their talents far exceeded those of their contemporaries.

But now, both of them were defeated by the unfamiliar young man in front of them, which was hard for Kitsch, the one who had ambushed Enzo, and Quinn, the giant axe wielder, to accept.

"I don't understand..."

"Isn't the Fierce Beast continent a trial ground beneath the deities? Why is there such a powerful individual here? Someone with this level of talent should be exploring even stronger secret realms!"

The two found it difficult to comprehend.

But now wasn't the time for such thoughts.

Enzo didn't care who the two below were. Since they dared to launch a sneak attack, they had to be prepared for death.

In Enzo's hands, fireballs and lightning orbs materialized.

Both elemental spheres radiated an astonishing aura, causing Kitsch and Quinn's expressions to change drastically.

"Who is he, exactly?"

"Clearly at Level 9, yet possessing such immense power. Someone like this shouldn't even exist in the world of killers!" Kitsch was completely stunned. No matter how shocked he was, he needed to escape the immediate threat, so he hurriedly shouted to Enzo, "We are from the Rage Temple of 'the Temple of the Seven Gods'!"

Enzo ignored him.

The fireballs and lightning orbs quickly descended upon the two.

Seeing this, Kitsch shouted, "Run!"

After speaking, he quickly took out a strange metallic sphere and crushed it, then grabbed the giant axe man Quinn and fled without any intention of facing the lightning orb and fireball head-on.

A violent explosion echoed once more.

On the ground, a circular pit over a hundred meters in diameter appeared.

Enzo's figure slowly descended.

His mental energy radiated outwards, but he couldn't sense the presence of the two men, raising his brow in slight surprise as he said, "Who exactly are these two guys? Temple of the Seven Gods? Rage Temple? From what I learned in Ambera City, this world only has the Beast Temple, but never a Rage Temple."

"And that metallic sphere just now..."

"It had a trace of immortal deity's aura. It definitely isn't an ordinary object."

All these details indicated that the two had unusual identities, which piqued Enzo's curiosity.

He had a hunch that they might be from Starry Sky.

However, he quickly shook his head, deciding not to dwell on the matter, and returned to the previous forest to continue exploring that strange aura, while also searching for the Elder Deity crystals and other treasures in the blood ruins.

...

On the other side.

Kitsch and Quinn appeared next to a massive metallic structure. That was a large spaceship, entirely silver and exuding a sense of technological beauty.

As soon as they arrived, they clutched their chests and coughed violently.

Cough, cough…

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, their pale faces regained some color, but they still looked shaken, especially the weaker Kitsch, who muttered in a daze, "Terrifying, too terrifying. He's at the same Level 9 as us, but he has overwhelming strength, and he didn't even use elemental laws."

"He must be from another temple."

The giant axe man Quinn said, equally horrified.

At that moment, a clear, slightly cold voice came from nearby, asking, "Kitsch, Quinn, are you injured?"

The two exchanged glances, their expressions grim, but they still greeted her, "Patricia."

The young girl Patricia continued to look at them.

Quinn reluctantly explained what had happened, but after hearing it, Patricia mercilessly mocked, "Kitsch, are you saying you initiated a sneak attack, only to be discovered by the natives of the Fierce Beast continent, and then chased away? And then Quinn joined in, but neither of you were a match for that native, getting beaten up and fleeing like dogs?"

"Patricia, shut up!"

Kitsch could hardly endure the humiliation, but he only dared to shout back and didn't choose to retaliate. He wasn't a match for Patricia. This woman was the captain of their trio for this trial, and her strength was extremely formidable—rumored to be among the top hundred in the Rage Temple rankings.

Thus, neither Kitsch nor Quinn dared to offend her.

Kitsch could only argue, "That guy is definitely not a native of the Fierce Beast continent. He's very likely from some temple."

Patricia looked down on him with disdain.

Her arms crossed over her ample chest, she scoffed, "Only the weak make excuses. I know the teams that entered the killer continent, and none of them match the description you're giving. That guy is just a native. And as members of the Rage Temple, you can't even defeat a mere native—what does that make you, if not worthless?"

"You!" Kitsch was furious.

But in the end, he chose to endure.

However, this didn't mean Kitsch had completely given up on resistance. He deliberately said, "Patricia, I can tell you honestly that guy is really strong. Even you wouldn't be his match! Right now, he's probably still in the law forest of the blood ruins. If you have the guts, why don't you go find him and try to fight him?"

Patricia scoffed, saying, "Foolish provocation."

But after that, she added, "Regardless, you two are the teammates assigned to me by the temple. Being injured by a native means I have the responsibility as captain to avenge you."

With that, a holy light enveloped her.

Silver metallic armor manifested all over her body, and her golden hair flowed in the wind. She wielded a long sword, looking like a Valkyrie—imposing and powerful.

Then she flew toward the location Kitsch had mentioned.

Meanwhile, in the forest.

Enzo sensed for a long time. Apart from a slight increase in his own power, he found nothing.

He still couldn't figure out what that aura was.

Therefore, Enzo decided not to dwell on it any longer. The strange aura entering his body was passive and required no conscious interference, nor could it be interfered with.

This meant Enzo could simultaneously do other things.

He hadn't forgotten his purpose for entering the blood ruins—to find the Elder Deity crystals. After his previous experience, Enzo was confident that he could directly absorb the Telekinetic Crystal, Psychic Crystal, and Blood Energy Crystal.

Moreover, after absorbing a sufficient number, he should be able to fully condense the spell he had previously grasped, turning it into another ace up his sleeve.

This filled Enzo with motivation.

Half a day later, while searching for the Elder Deity crystals in the forest, Enzo came to a stop. In front of him lay a massive Fierce Beast, its bright green blood continuously oozing out, emitting a peculiar stench.

Standing next to the Fierce Beast's corpse was a blonde woman in silver armor.

The woman had a stunning figure and a cold gaze.

Even though she knew that Enzo was the one who killed the Fierce Beast, she walked over to its head and cleaved it open with her long sword, then extracted the bright green Telekinetic Crystal and stored it in her space storage ring.

Afterward, the blonde woman looked at Enzo with evident hostility.

She asked, "So it was you who just defeated those two worthless ones, Kitsch and Quinn? You have some strength, but that's about it."

Enzo's gaze grew increasingly cold.

He asked the blonde woman Patricia, "Are you talking about the ones who ambushed me? And that Fierce Beast was killed by me, so you should return the Telekinetic Crystal."

In response, Patricia burst into laughter.

Her eyes gleamed with arrogance as she mocked Enzo, saying, "Weaklings have no right to bargain!"
