Lin Yu had just suppressed six main gods and had not yet taken their lives when several more streaks of light appeared in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, he saw about ten main gods, seemingly curious, but they all stopped a million miles away, watching from afar, not daring to approach.
Lin Yu rejoiced inwardly. These were just sheep delivered to his doorstep, why wouldn't he eat them?
An idea flashed through his mind, and he produced a main divine artifact, making it emit a brilliant light.
The divine artifact's radiance shot up into the sky, like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, illuminating the mortal realm.
As soon as it appeared, it caused both shock and joy to all beings within a million miles.
Mortal spirits, affected by the powerful pressure, prostrated themselves on the ground, their faces filled with fear.
Divine beings, however, were stirred, fantasizing about obtaining great treasures, while the main gods immediately took action, intending to seize the treasure.
It was known that the gap between realms was immense. Some worlds were powerful, like first-tier cities, while others were barren, like fifth-tier towns, with a heaven-and-earth difference.
Even if a main god-level existence was born in the latter, they could not obtain even a single main divine artifact due to the world's barrenness.
One could imagine the allure of such a main divine artifact.
Even main gods from noble backgrounds were stirred. Although they knew the competition was fierce and there was a risk of perishing, over a hundred main gods were still tempted, their eyes gleaming with greed.
"The Great Brahma Buddha Son has descended! You heretics, retreat at once!"
Ten thousand miles outside the Sacred Mountain, a Buddha radiating golden Buddhist light descended from the heavens.
Beside him were seven fierce dogs, their eyes spewing red flames, and nine lotus youths, all with solemn appearances, their clear eyes seeming to cleanse all evil in the human world.
Around him sat twelve Arhats, each in a different posture but all exuding powerful energy, each possessing the power of a main god.
Standing before the Buddha Son was a bodhisattva with his upper body bare. He rode a golden lion, holding a small golden pagoda in his right hand, his aura incredibly powerful.
These were all the Buddha Son's retinue.
To command Arhats and Bodhisattvas as a Buddha Son, his cultivation must be terrifyingly profound.
Even Lin Yu, hidden in the shadows, was slightly startled by this sight.
This was the most powerful main god he had encountered so far.
Even the eight main gods of the abyss had not put such pressure on him.
The Arhats held different objects in their hands, which were likely all main divine artifacts.
"The world this Buddha Son hails from must not be underestimated. It is likely not weaker than the abyss," Lin Yu muttered to himself.
"However, now that I have a hundred million clones, and after merging, I will have one hundred composite clones. Dealing with them should not be a problem, but I should test them first!"
"Let him go!"
With a thought from Lin Yu, a composite clone, appearing as a young man of normal size wearing a Taoist robe, stepped out.
He walked out of the Sacred Mountain, and all eyes fell upon him.
The Buddha Son opened his eyes, glanced at him, and showed a trace of disdain before closing his eyes again.
This disdainful attitude displeased many main gods, but the opponent's formation was too powerful. All his followers seemed to be at the main god realm, which was unbelievable.
Then how strong must he himself be?
"I am Zhao Gongming! I have already claimed this place. Please return, all of you!"
His voice was gentle but carried a hint of transcendence, and when it entered their ears, it made them feel involuntarily ashamed.
The gods present were stunned for a moment, then enraged.
"Who do you think you are? Just because you arrived first means you've claimed it? Did you even ask if we agree?"
"Either you wise up and withdraw yourself now, and you can preserve your life, or today I will personally teach you a lesson and show you the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Seeing that you are young, you must have been a prodigy in your original world. But this is the interdimensional transit hub, where countless strong individuals reside. How can you be so arrogant?"
"........."
As soon as the composite clone Zhao Gongming appeared, the scene immediately became lively.
Even the arrogant words of the Buddha Son were forgotten.
Zhao Gongming sighed, "Not listening to advice will lead to death, alas!"
His sorrowful and compassionate demeanor angered some of the gods.
However, everyone present was shrewd. Despite their harsh words, they all kept their true intentions hidden deep within, and no one made the first move.
Lin Yu's mouth twitched slightly, utterly speechless. So everyone was a sly old fox.
Fine, if you won't make a move, then I'll strike first.
However, before taking action, Zhao Gongming looked at the Buddha Son.
The Buddha Son's expression was slight, but one could see a hint of disdain.
Lin Yu was very unhappy. This Buddha Son was too pretentious. So what if he had dozens of main gods as followers? I have hundreds more, and I'm not as ostentatious as you.
Furthermore, each of my composite clones is comparable to a peak main god, no less dignified than you. I act discreetly, and you dare to be the leader? This Buddha Son has already been added to my book of life and death.
If I don't kill him, I won't be satisfied.
Zhao Gongming snorted coldly, "Not listening to advice leads to a quick death. Today, I, on behalf of heaven, shall claim you all!"
The gods heard this and burst into laughter, mocking him for being too arrogant.
There were over a hundred main gods present, scattered throughout the void, with some even hidden in the depths of space. Even a peak main god would not be able to find them easily.
"Haha, this is hilarious! If you have the ability, kill me first!"
A main god roared with laughter.
Zhao Gongming sighed and flicked his finger, launching twenty-four bright pearls.
"Ding Hai Shen Zhu!"
Boom!
Instantly, the Ding Hai Shen Zhu broke through the spatial limitations and struck the main god directly in the chest. With a crack, his chest shattered, creating a large hole. He looked down at his pierced chest, his face filled with shock.
"Collect!"
The bright pearls opened like mouths, containing immense space within. The main god's body was then absorbed.
Although the Ding Hai Shen Zhu was condensed by a composite clone, it still possessed the might of a main divine artifact.
After this single strike, the surroundings became silent.
No main god dared to mock him anymore; they even hid deeper.
"This Taoist has formidable power. Is that a main divine artifact?"
"It must be a main divine artifact. Could this be the main divine artifact he acquired here?"
"Such a powerful main divine artifact has fallen into this person's hands. Damnable!"
"Oh no, he's about to attack again!"
"Don't rush. We are hidden in the depths of space. Without formidable spatial attainments, it's impossible to find us!"
"That's right. The previous main god was too overconfident and didn't hide deep enough."
Suddenly, their expressions changed drastically.
"Damn it, what's happening? Why is space de-dimensioning?"
"........."
The gods were greatly alarmed.
They had hidden in the depths of space, very deeply, making them hard to find.
However, their expressions had now changed dramatically.
This was because the space they occupied was de-dimensioning.
The concept of height was disappearing, leaving only length and width. They were being reduced to two dimensions, becoming like images on a screen.
Damn it!
They struggled desperately, but found it useless. This power was too strong and too bizarre.
Among the many cultivation systems, dimensions were extremely mysterious. Even beings above the main god realm rarely delved into them.
"Dimensional Scroll! Collect!" a cold voice rang out.
Zhao Gongming waved his hand, and tens of thousands of miles of space were transformed into two dimensions, becoming a scroll that flew into his palm.
This scene, witnessed by those who survived, struck them with immense fear, and they fled madly.
Even the Buddha Son opened his eyes again, this time with a trace of astonishment.
The Buddha Son spoke, "Fellow Taoist, your Taoist magic is formidable. This monk also wishes to learn from you!"
"If fellow Taoist wishes to learn, I shall paint another picture of the Buddha Son's descent. Do you like it?" Zhao Gongming chuckled.
The Buddha Son was enraged, "Audacious demon! You seek death!"
