In the shadows.
A group of divine remnant souls watched this scene, grinding their teeth in hatred.
"I've already given him a divine artifact, and he still won't leave. Truly a greedy mortal."
"I'll go kill him. At worst, we'll hide after killing him, and that terrifying human definitely won't find us."
"No! It's just a divine artifact, and a broken one at that. It's not worth you risking your life."
"Right. Peace and quiet prevail now, and neither side is killing. This is the best state. If you break the balance, our meager remnant souls will likely be wiped out by the other side. That would be terrible."
"Look at all the demigod beasts in this world. If all else fails, we can possess them."
"I think that's a good idea. With a living body, our remnant souls can be nourished and slowly recover."
"We'll see. The potential of beasts is too ordinary."
"Look, that mortal has started again."
"He's challenging the heavens!"
"..."
It was no wonder the divine remnant souls were furious. The Sword God seemed to have tasted blood, thinking all divine artifacts were buried underground, and began digging three feet deep in search.
His crazed fervor infuriated the divine remnant souls buried below. They hadn't buried themselves very deep. If he dug them up, would they kill the Sword God or not?
Logic told them they couldn't kill him, but they were still incredibly angry.
"Forget it! I guess all the divine artifacts here are gone. Let's change locations!" The Sword God stopped digging.
The divine remnant souls underground breathed a sigh of relief. This annoying guy was finally leaving.
The Sword God left, but he hadn't given up on finding divine artifacts. He had merely moved to another location to continue causing trouble.
Another ancient battlefield.
He gained quite a bit here, but it was similar to the gains from the previous ancient battlefield.
The gods buried underground were also enraged, but they dared not come out.
If Lin Yu discovered them, they would all be finished.
While they could exert the power of pseudo-gods, they were far more broken and weaker than the corpse of the God of Light. If they showed themselves, it would be the end.
The Sword God seemed to sense a mysterious aura underground. Having gained nothing, he left for the next ancient battlefield.
Thus, in seven or eight days, he had visited over a hundred ancient battlefields.
He had infuriated all the divine remnant souls.
Underground.
"I can't stand it anymore! This damned mortal is insulting me!"
"He actually urinated on my divine corpse! I can't stand this!"
"I want to kill him, kill him!"
"Let's attack together and kill him in one blow."
"Kill, kill, kill!"
.............
Gobi Desert.
Inside a cave.
After a month and a half, Lin Wu finally finished his comprehension and opened his eyes.
"Main body, comprehension complete!"
"Good, you've worked hard!"
Lin Yu's heart was filled with excitement, and he immediately activated power synchronization.
In the next moment, insights related to light appeared in his mind, and he quickly digested and understood them.
With almost no fanfare, he successfully grasped this thread of the power of the law of light.
After comprehending it, he had to merge this trace of power into his soul.
"Merge!"
Boom!
After a colossal roar, infinite light illuminated his mind, dispelling all darkness.
The entire cave lit up. Seeing this, Lin Wu waved his hand and concealed the rays of light.
Therefore, outsiders could barely see any unusual phenomena during his entire breakthrough process.
After a long time, Lin Yu opened his eyes.
"This is the first time I've broken through a realm on my own, and it was so fast." He felt a sense of pride.
"Main body, you are now a demigod. Your power has undergone a fundamental change, especially your perception, which will become terrifying." Lin Wu reminded him.
"Mmm! Let me see!"
Lin Yu closed his eyes and used his perception to sense his surroundings.
One hundred meters!
One thousand meters!
One hundred li!
Three hundred li!
Ten thousand li!
He could perceive the area within ten thousand li with great clarity, but this was not his limit. He found that he could perceive an area of roughly one hundred thousand li, although the areas beyond ten thousand li became increasingly blurry.
Suddenly, at a distance of fifty thousand li, he detected a battered, blurry figure.
"Senior Sword God?"
He opened his eyes, and Lin Wu asked in confusion, "What is it?"
"I saw Senior Sword God being chased by a group of divine corpses. Fortunately, those divine corpses are extremely broken and much weaker than the corpse of the God of Light. Otherwise, Senior Sword God wouldn't be able to hold on. I must go save him."
With that, he had already walked out of the cave.
He waved his hand and said, "All my clones, follow me!"
With a whoosh, nine thousand clones surged forward.
"Combine!"
Boom!
White light appeared and then dissipated, and a giant stood before them.
"Take me to save the Sword God!" Lin Yu commanded.
The giant nodded and stepped into the void, each stride covering a hundred li.
Lin Yu still felt it was too slow. He muttered, "As You Wish Rule!"
Hum!
A golden aura appeared on his brow.
"As you wish, as you wish, according to my will! Speed!"
In the next moment, the As You Wish Rule's light changed color, transforming into a pair of enormous silver-white wings that grew on the giant's back.
With a slight flap of its wings, it covered over a thousand li, increasing its speed severalfold.
Before long, they arrived at their destination.
At this moment.
The Sword God was quite disheveled. His hair was scattered, and he had multiple injuries, but these were all superficial and not serious.
"Hahaha, you chased me all the way here!"
"Mortal, we gave you several divine artifacts, why are you still not satisfied?"
"A mere broken divine artifact, unable to even unleash the power of a pseudo-divine artifact. How dare you say that?"
"Greedy mortal, today we gods will destroy you. No one can save you!"
Behind him were more than a dozen broken divine corpses. Some were missing limbs, some only had a head – as pathetic as could be. They roared with fury.
One colossal god, ten thousand meters tall, but headless, stomped down with his foot!
"Die, you damned human!"
Seeing this, the Sword God did not panic. He dodged with a flash.
"As expected, you gods are all so broken, your powers have greatly diminished. Why come out from being buried in the ground? To embarrass yourselves!"
"Human, if I don't kill you, I'll take your surname!"
"I do not have such a degenerate descendant."
"Such a sharp-tongued human, let's all attack together."
The gods attacked in unison. Although each of them was broken to the point of being laughable, their combined strength was still terrifying.
The Sword God was greatly alarmed and frantically dodged, but enemies were everywhere, and he had nowhere to escape.
"It's over, I was too careless!" The Sword God's face turned pale. "It seems I have to use that move. This move will damage my origins, and I'll need to rest for months to recover."
Just as he was about to use his ultimate skill, the sky suddenly darkened.
"Senior, I'm here!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the Sword God was overjoyed.
Lin Yu jumped down from the giant's shoulder and looked at the gods.
"Hahahaha, too pathetic! An eyesore. You might as well die!"
The giant immediately swung its axe.
"Change of Heaven and Earth! I am the Source!"
"Heaven's裂!"
