The sword emanated divine power that dared not be directly gazed upon. Even a mere glance made one feel breathless.
"That... that's actually a top-tier Divine Lord artifact! Such a rarity in this world!"
"How is that possible!?"
"What is the background of the Immortal Demon Kingdom? How can they even obtain a top-tier Divine Lord artifact!"
"This is utterly unbelievable..."
The gods were so astonished they thought they were dreaming.
"She... what is she doing?"
"Can she truly kill the God King of Termination?"
After a moment of silence, a voice slowly spoke, "Her divine position must be higher than the God of Termination!"
"But that goddess was clearly at the God King level just a few days ago, yet in mere days she has become a Divine Lord on par with the God of Termination!"
"No, even higher. One is at the early stage of Divine Lord, the other at the intermediate stage of God King!"
"The Immortal Demon Kingdom is truly outrageous."
"With intermediate Divine Lord strength and a top-tier Divine Lord weapon, how are others supposed to live?!"
These words reached the ears of the gods in their divine abodes, and all felt their worldviews being reshaped.
Among the gods witnessing this once-in-a-millennium battle were even some at the pinnacle of the God King realm.
However, for them to have reached this level, each had lived for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years as ancient deities.
They had paid immense prices to reach this stage.
No one could understand better than them what it meant to break through from God King to Divine Lord, and specifically to the intermediate stage of Divine Lord, in just a few days.
This was precisely why, despite countless deities on the Primordial Continent, there were only a few dozen at the Divine Lord level.
Yet now, a goddess from the Immortal Demon Kingdom had appeared, brazenly telling them that it only took a few days to advance from God King to Divine Lord. How could they not be shocked and awed?
"How did she manage to do it?"
"What else could it be but relying on the protection of the castle forces on the Primordial Continent."
The God of Origin stood to the side with arms crossed, looking enviously at Xian'er, who radiated holy light in the sky.
Some slow-witted deities, not understanding, asked, "What is the reason for this?"
The God of Origin snorted, "We need tens of thousands of years of cultivation and to endure all sorts of tribulations to break through our divine positions. But the people of the Immortal Demon Kingdom can gain divine power and break through their divine positions through constant slaughter. Naturally, it is much simpler for them than for us."
"Slaughter grants power?"
The quick-witted deities thought of the powerful evil gods who were slaughtered on the Primordial Continent a few days prior and suddenly had an epiphany, exclaiming in shock:
"The massive slaughter of evil gods a couple of days ago, was it all done by this eighteen-winged goddess alone?"
Upon hearing this, the other gods also understood what was happening and were once again horrified.
A chill ran down their spines. Her strength was too terrifying.
One person had eliminated over a dozen powerful evil gods; it was unimaginable what that scene must have been like.
Especially an ancient evil god hidden among the crowd, who now felt immensely fortunate.
They had arrived too late and hadn't joined the battle.
Otherwise, they might have become nourishment for that goddess by now, instead of just spectating here.
However, alongside their fear, these evil gods also felt a surge of anger.
Now, a Divine Lord, whose strength could stand at the pinnacle of the Primordial Continent, was personally coming to kill them, mere low-level evil gods, to gain divine power.
How could this not fill them with dread?
If one day, these evil gods accidentally provoked this powerful eighteen-winged goddess, they would have nowhere to escape and would be slaughtered like lambs.
Even if their Divine Lord was powerful, he couldn't protect them every single moment.
"The Immortal Demon Kingdom is breaking the rules of the Primordial Continent! We should unite and resist them!"
"Exactly! Back in ancient times, the major divine systems had an agreement that higher deities could not slaughter lower deities. Yet the deities of the Immortal Demon Kingdom are slaughtering evil gods on such a large scale! Where is the law and order!"
"Resist them!"
"Yes! We must resist them!"
"..."
Unfortunately, apart from the indignant evil gods, no one else paid them any heed.
The situation became somewhat awkward.
This was because on the Primordial Continent, evil gods were not well-received.
They were wicked and had no bottom line; allying with them was worse than cooperating with a dog.
Furthermore, the people of the Immortal Demon Kingdom only slaughtered evil gods, and it had nothing to do with their other divine systems.
Were they out of their minds to sacrifice their own interests to provoke such an overwhelmingly powerful deity?
At this point, someone said dismissively, "Tch! You hypocritical villains. Don't you know why the Divine Lord of the Immortal Demon Kingdom is hunting your evil god system? And you still want to involve others? Utterly stupid and wicked!"
The gods looked towards the speaker and saw it was the Water God Chi Shui, a deity of the nature element.
Nature element gods were generally peaceful. For one to speak such harsh words, it must mean they were extremely angered by the evil god system.
The evil gods: "..."
They also cursed their Divine Lord, the God of Termination, and the Annihilator Divine Lord, Xue Tu, in their hearts.
These two Divine Lords were powerful. What better could they have done than to provoke the Immortal Demon Kingdom, thus bringing forth a rapidly advancing Divine Lord who now posed a death threat to them, low-level evil gods?
"The reason that eighteen-winged angel can advance so quickly is because she killed us evil gods and absorbed our power!"
"So we cannot stay here any longer. If that eighteen-winged angel targets us, we will undoubtedly become stepping stones for her advancement!"
"Right! Let's leave quickly!"
In the blink of an eye, the evil gods hidden among the crowd of deities all fled, leaving their Divine Lord, the God of Termination, alone.
...
As the gods chattered about the current situation, expressing their shock at Xian'er's power.
In the starry sky, two immensely powerful Divine Lords faced each other from afar.
Xian'er caressed the divine sword in her hand, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.
What a pity. If she had been a step faster just now, her sword would have pierced the body of the God of Termination.
She didn't expect the God of Termination to have some tricks up his sleeve and escape so quickly.
At this moment, after evading Xian'er's sword strike, the God of Termination was utterly terrified.
This eighteen-winged angel's strength was truly too formidable. He was completely outmatched.
"It seems that the eighteen-winged angel had been hidden in the stellar expanse long ago, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the God of Termination!"
