A giant axe descended from the sky, cleaving the void.
With a crackling sound, the sky, like a mirror, shattered into several pieces.
"Not good! Space is breaking! Retreat!" The remnants of the shattered deities gasped and rapidly withdrew.
Gazing at the utterly devastated space, they were secretly astonished.
This world was a true world of deities. Although they had once fought a great battle, degrading the entire world by one level, a starved camel is still larger than a horse. It could still accommodate deities.
The space of such a powerful world was, in their minds, incredibly sturdy. Without the power of a deity, it was virtually impossible to break it. Yet, with a single axe from the giant before them, space had shattered to this extent. They were stunned.
Was the giant before them a pseudo-deity, or a true deity?
For a pseudo-deity to break space, they could at most inflict some scratches. Shattering space so thoroughly was beyond their capability.
"You... why have you become so powerful?" A god's corpse recognized the giant's aura and stammered, pointing at the giant.
When the giant fought the corpse of the Light God, they could sense the giant's aura. At that time, the giant was nowhere near as powerful as he was now.
If the giant was once a sharp, gleaming sword, he was now a bottomless abyss. They knew he was strong, but they could no longer discern just how strong he was.
The giant before them was shrouded in mist, making it difficult for them to discern his true strength.
They were inwardly alarmed and became extremely vigilant.
The giant roared, "I have broken through! I am not who I was. Enough nonsense, surrender your lives!"
The giant axe was raised again. With a casual swing, a crackle sounded, and space fractured once more.
He strode upon the earth, the ground cracking. He swung his axe at the void, and space shattered. He was like a destructive demon god, walking on fragile paper, the sound of cracking echoing wherever he went.
"Die!" the giant bellowed.
"Everyone, attack together! We have numbers, we can definitely kill him!"
Seeing that evasion was impossible, the god corpses decided not to evade. They unleashed their skills in unison to counterattack.
The headless giant god raised his arms, two colossal hammers appearing in his hands. He roared, "Thunder, come!"
Boom!
Crackling!
Lightning descended from the heavens and struck the hammers.
Wielding the thunder-entwined hammers, he ferociously swung them at the giant.
"Destruction Thunder Hammer!"
On the other side, a god's corpse, enveloped in flames, also raised his scepter.
"Radiant Flame World!"
The other god corpses were not to be outdone, each unleashing their ultimate skills.
"Spirit Emperor!"
"Three Thousand Talismans!"
"Earth Shatter!"
"Waterwood Dragon Ascent!"
"..."
Various colored skills were unleashed from their hands and surged towards the giant.
Seeing this, the giant roared and charged forward directly.
"Myriad Treasures Condensing Technique!"
"Full Body Armor!"
With a hum, his entire body was encased in full body armor. He abandoned all pretense of defense and plunged into the crowd of god corpses.
Bang!
Boom!
Skills struck him one after another, shattering his full body armor, but failing to penetrate his flesh.
At this moment, the giant counterattacked.
"Heaven Splitting!"
He leaped above them all and brought his giant axe down with a ferocious swing.
Boom!
Crack!
Instantly, the void trembled, space shattered, and a vague, chaotic phantom appeared within their perception.
"What is that?" the god corpses wondered.
But in the next moment, the mysterious phantom rushed out like a gluttonous maw, swallowing the entire space in a single gulp.
"Not good! Flee!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. The space around them had already been consumed.
Seeing this, the giant beckoned, and the phantom flew to his hand.
A blurry cluster of stars appeared in his palm. He lowered his head to gaze at the cluster and murmured, "The world begins, heaven and earth stabilize!"
As his voice fell, the star cluster began to spin rapidly, gradually transforming into the rudimentary form of a circular world. But this was torment for the god corpses trapped within the star cluster, as their power was being rapidly drained.
Boom!
Finally, the star cluster stopped changing.
The giant looked at the new small world before him and shook his head, "Without the Azure Lotus, the small world cannot be stabilized and will eventually dissipate!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, the small world in his grasp dispersed, vanishing into thin air.
Only a group of weakened god corpses remained on the ground. The evolution of the small world had absorbed a vast amount of their energy. Now, they lacked the strength to even walk.
The giant raised his axe and brought it down, killing them one by one. Their residual souls appeared, and with the Soul Severing Technique, their lives were utterly ended.
Lin Yu also heard the system's prompt.
"Ding, you have killed the God of Fire (fallen, residual soul), upgrade points +1 billion."
"Ding, you have killed the God of War (fallen, residual soul), upgrade points +1 billion."
"Ding, you have killed the God of Elves (fallen, residual soul), upgrade points +1 billion."
"Ding, you have killed the God of Earth (fallen, residual soul), upgrade points +1 billion."
"Ding, you have killed the God of Poison (fallen, residual soul), upgrade points +1 billion."
Five consecutive system prompts signified the complete demise of five divine residual souls.
At this moment.
The God of Swords beside him was silent.
His pupils constricted, betraying his inner turmoil.
Finally, he sighed, "Lin Yu, without realizing it, you have already surpassed all of us."
Lin Yu replied humbly, "I am still young and have much to learn from you."
The God of Swords patted his shoulder and smiled, "You are already so strong, what more can I teach you? You will bear more responsibility in the future. By the way, the Wind God Dragon Realm has returned."
What?
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then his mood became complicated.
He felt a sense of unease, as this was, after all, a world of deities.
Yet, he also felt a flicker of anticipation. After all, his soul-replacing clone was still in that world. Would it bring him any pleasant surprises?
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of anticipation.
Seeing him smile, the God of Swords found it strange, but he could understand. Lin Yu was too powerful now to even consider his former enemies.
"When will they arrive?" Lin Yu asked.
The God of Swords pondered for a moment, "I estimate within ten days."
"Then there's still time!" Lin Yu declared.
"What?"
"I'll be back before you know it!"
"Where are you going?"
This was a critical juncture. Lin Yu, please don't go missing! How would they face the Wind God Dragon Realm without you?
Lin Yu turned back and said, "I'm going to wipe out those residual souls in one go!"
With that, he left without looking back, leaving only the stunned God of Swords standing there.
After a long while, he sighed wistfully, "It's good to be young. Not so many worries. You just do what you think of!"
