The Gun God Li Tianyi ultimately decided to take a gamble here.
He hoped His Majesty the King was truly doing business!
The reason he dared to try his luck here, even after seeing at least two God-King level deities, was twofold.
Besides the fact that he truly needed a suitable weapon, he also believed that Xiao Mo would definitely not do this.
After all, he, Gun God Li Tianyi, was also a Primordial God.
If he were to die in the Immortal Demon Kingdom, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Primordial God faction.
At that point, the rules that restricted the Primordial Gods and the Central Region Empires would be naturally lifted, providing ample reason to break out of the Central Region and annihilate the Immortal Demon Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Gun God Li Tianyi believed that no matter how foolish His Majesty the King here was, he surely would not want to go to war with the Central Region Empires and the Primordial Gods at this very moment.
He was certainly not prepared for a war with the Central Region yet.
Therefore, this was one of his life-saving trump cards.
Time ticked by.
The God-King battle in the outer space had entered its final stages.
The Lion Clan Beast God Shi Biwu was covered in blood, his golden staff having fallen into the void.
As he saw the approaching sword light, Shi Biwu felt an unprecedented sense of danger wash over him.
"Don't kill me!"
The Lion Clan Beast God Shi Biwu cried out in despair. He could feel that this sword, once it pierced him, would be certain death!
But his cries were of no use.
Xian'er did not hesitate for a moment, thrusting her long sword into Shi Biwu's heart and twisting it slightly.
Following that, hundreds of sword lights surged from Shi Biwu's body in an instant, cutting his body into thousands of pieces.
However, Shi Biwu still managed to reconstitute his body, weakly looking at Xian'er to beg for mercy.
But Xian'er gave him no chance to beg, and with another swift strike, pierced his divine sea in the center of his forehead.
The next moment, Shi Biwu's semi-transparent divine soul was directly pulled out of his divine sea by this sword.
Seeing his divine soul leaving his body, Shi Biwu's soul turned to flee, but Xian'er, with her quick reflexes, grabbed hold of it.
"Still want to run? Possible?"
"No!"
The Lion Clan Beast God Shi Biwu's divine soul wilted instantly. It struggled in Xian'er's hand, pleading, "I am willing to surrender! I am willing to become a subordinate god to your Majesty the King, please spare my life!"
"Become the Holy Lord's subordinate god?"
Xian'er's beautiful eyes cast a cold glance at him, and she said indifferently, "You think you are worthy? You have no faith in the Holy Lord in your heart!"
As her voice fell, Xian'er once again swung her sword into the void, and time began to twist.
At this moment, her gaze fell upon Gun God Li Tianyi, and she frowned slightly, asking, "Are you a Primordial God from the Central Region?"
Seeing the divine soul of Shi Biwu in her hand, and her cold expression, Gun God Li Tianyi was startled. He quickly explained, "I am a Primordial God, but I am here to do business with His Majesty the King of the Immortal Demon Kingdom. I am not your enemy!"
Upon hearing this, Xian'er stared at Gun God Li Tianyi for a good while before softly uttering a few words, "I hope so!"
With that, Xian'er handed Shi Biwu's divine soul to Mo Youyou, saying, "Throw him into the Soul Reincarnation Pool and purify his soul thoroughly!"
"As you command, Venerable Xian'er!"
The Underworld Demoness Mo Youyou took the divine soul of the Lion Clan Beast God Shi Biwu, bowed respectfully to Xian'er, and then her figure vanished in a flash.
Paying no heed to Shi Biwu's struggles and panicked screams, she returned directly to the Immortal Demon Sacred Hall in the royal capital and threw him into the [Soul Reincarnation Pool].
Upon entering the [Soul Reincarnation Pool].
Before the Lion Clan Beast God Shi Biwu could say anything, he saw the divine souls of Baal and Ming Guang in the corner.
"Baal... Ming Guang! You two are not dead?"
Shi Biwu's divine soul's eyes widened instantly.
The divine soul of Ming Guang, curled up in the corner of the reincarnation pool, was enveloped by the light of immortality and demons.
He looked up at Shi Biwu and said faintly, "Shi Biwu, so it's you. I'm glad we could meet here!"
"You're glad? I'm not happy!"
The Lion Clan Beast God Shi Biwu was displeased and began searching for a way to get out.
"No rush! You'll be as happy as us soon!"
At this moment, Baal's divine soul slowly spoke, "Also, don't waste your energy. You can't escape from here!"
However, Shi Biwu did not believe him. He tried several times to rush out, but each time he was fiercely repelled by the light of immortality and demons.
Soon, as the light of immortality and demons grew more and more brilliant, Shi Biwu's divine soul was instantly engulfed by it.
Shi Biwu became even more terrified, as he felt something eroding his divine soul. He suddenly realized what he was about to face.
"No! Don't! I want to get out!"
Shi Biwu roared in panic, but apart from the few divine souls within the [Soul Reincarnation Pool], no one else could hear his voice.
Finally, he was completely submerged in the endless light of immortality and demons.
...
Outside.
Gun God Li Tianyi, under Xian'er's cold gaze, nervously returned to the sky above the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
But he ultimately did not dare to enter the royal capital.
At this moment, his heart was anything but calm.
He had personally witnessed a deity with the peak strength of a Lower God-King fall before his eyes.
The Lion Clan Beast God Shi Biwu was far more powerful than him, yet he was still slain and his divine soul captured.
The unwilling, despairing screams still echoed in his mind. This had undoubtedly been a tremendous shock to him.
When he saw Xiao Mo again, Gun God Li Tianyi no longer harbored the disdain that a God-King might have for a God-Tier deity. Instead, he showed great respect.
"Your Majesty the King, would you be willing to sell Shi Biwu's natal divine artifact, the Golden Cudgel? If so, I would very much like to purchase it!"
Xiao Mo glanced at Gun God Li Tianyi and smiled faintly, "Please wait a moment!"
Facing a Primordial God who could bring him a large amount of divine power condensation fluid, his attitude was quite good.
Hearing this, Gun God Li Tianyi had no choice but to wait quietly.
Approximately an hour later, he suddenly sensed that the divine might emanating from Xiao Mo had increased severalfold.
The fluctuations in divine power had directly advanced from the mid-stage of the High-Rank God Tier to the peak of the High-Rank God Tier, leaving only half a step to the God-King realm.
Gun God Li Tianyi was instantly stunned: "How is this possible?"
He had never seen anyone whose strength and realm could improve so quickly.
In such a short period, to cross from the late stage of the High-Rank God Tier directly to the peak.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have believed it to be a fairy tale!
After all, among the Primordial Gods, he himself was considered a once-in-a-millennium cultivation prodigy.
In just over a decade, he had advanced from a mortal to the early stage of the Lower God-King realm.
Yet, even when he crossed the God-Tier levels, it had taken him at least a month or two!
Now, with the facts before him, he found it utterly incredible.
If he hadn't clearly perceived Xiao Mo's strength to be only at the mid-stage of the High-Rank God Tier before, he would have suspected that Xiao Mo was deliberately concealing his true power.
"It's just as the rumors say! The lords within the Territory Stone can rapidly enhance their strength by defeating enemies!"
Gun God Li Tianyi could still sense Shi Biwu's life force moments ago. Now, the aura had completely disappeared, indicating that Shi Biwu's divine body's life force had been utterly extinguished.
This also meant that Shi Biwu had truly perished.
Even if his divine soul had escaped, he could not return to his divine body and be resurrected...
