Rumbling sounds echoed, followed by crackling noises. The formation, unable to bear the strain any longer, finally shattered.
Witnessing the formation that protected them from harm dissolve into streaks of starlight with a mere wave of a divine hand, the humans stood stunned, their pupils wide.
The gods looked down upon the mortal realm.
Typhoon, the Wind God, was the most enraged. The humans had publicly humiliated him twice, and today, he would finally have his revenge.
“Roar! Humans, do you still remember the Dragon Realm of the Wind God?” he bellowed with laughter.
At his words, the humans snapped back to reality and looked up. A colossal white dragon head emerged from the clouds – it was Typhoon.
Overwhelmed by the gods’ presence, their souls trembled violently, rendering them immobile. Astonishment filled their hearts.
“You…” someone pointed at Typhoon, about to speak.
Typhoon sneered and glared. The man exploded.
This scene silenced everyone, who dared not utter a sound. They were too fragile before the divine beings.
A single glance from a god could end their lives, yet they were utterly powerless. This feeling of helplessness fueled their anger and despair.
Jian Ku, clutching a wooden sword, gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
“Gods, you bully us too much!”
His voice boomed, reverberating in the hearts of all.
The crowd stared at him in shock, their faces etched with worry.
The gods looked surprised, never expecting a human to move under their oppressive aura. They watched this human with keen interest.
The Lich chuckled, “This human is quite interesting. I can kill him and turn him into a lich. His potential must be considerable.”
Typhoon sneered, “Very well, I shall kill him, and his corpse will be yours!”
The other gods chuckled, anticipating the Lich’s creation.
Suddenly!
Typhoon looked down from above, as if gazing at a mass of corpses.
Boom!
A black and white sword energy surged from below.
The sword energy was peculiar, carrying the essence of reincarnation and a hint of the profound truth of life and death.
However, when the sword energy reached within thirty feet of him, it could advance no further.
Typhoon roared with laughter, “To attempt to attack a god with mortal means, do you know your crime?”
Jian Ku’s body trembled slightly. That single strike had depleted his energy; he couldn’t muster another.
“My life has been devoted to the sword, yet I am still inferior to the Sword God. Heh heh… Today, knowing death is inevitable, I shall unleash my first strike!”
“This is my courage, and this is my sword’s heart – never to retreat!”
He stood with his sword, his hair fluttering slightly. A radiant aura of humanity instantly enveloped the human race.
Those who had been about to prostrate themselves in surrender suddenly felt a surge of defiance, their jaws tightening, their backs straightening.
“As humans, we stand to fight, we do not kneel to live!”
Their words resonated like thunder, igniting the blood of all.
The gods merely smiled.
It was akin to humans laughing at ants.
“Since you all wish to die, we shall grant your wish!”
The humans exchanged glances, their hearts resolute in their decision to face death.
The gods raised their hands, channeling power into their palms.
“Mortals, accept the judgment of the gods!”
The gods’ voices descended, reaching the ears of the humans.
But the thought of Jian Ku’s defiance ignited their spirits, and they chose to die unyieldingly.
This scene astonished even the Sword Gods and the others, who looked at Jian Ku with a hint of confusion.
However, now was not the time for contemplation.
The gods’ attacks were imminent, and they could not simply wait to be slaughtered.
“My friends, though we are but demigods, we shall die with glory!”
“If we cannot kill the gods, we shall at least leave our mark on them.”
“Friends, I shall go first. I will await you on the road to the Yellow Springs.”
“…”
Self-detonation!
This was their thought.
Alas, the gods’ oppressive power was too great, allowing them only minimal movement. Thus, self-detonation would only harm their own people.
They abandoned the idea of exploding themselves.
Finally, they gritted their teeth and unleashed their strongest attacks.
The gods laughed upon seeing these assaults.
“Pathetic mortals!”
A god in blue robes chuckled softly and, with a flick of his sleeve, dispersed all the human attacks.
“What? How is this possible?” The humans exclaimed in shock.
These were their most powerful attacks, yet they were so easily repelled.
“Mere mortals, you know not the might of the divine!” the blue-robed god chuckled, shaking his head.
He found these humans somewhat amusing.
However, the thought of the human who had destroyed their spatial gate filled him with resentment.
Today, they would annihilate the human race, and tomorrow, they would hunt down that individual. No matter where they fled, they would be killed.
The Lich sneered, “Let’s finish this quickly, lest we attract the attention of other gods!”
The gods, who barely knew each other, had united against a common enemy. But the current situation was complex, and even they, as gods, had to be extremely cautious.
What if they were targeted by other gods?
“You speak wisely. Let us kill them!”
The gods nodded in agreement and attacked in unison.
Boom!
Instantly, various beams of power filled the sky.
Rumbling.
The immense power shook heaven and earth, distorting and trembling the very space.
Die!
The humans closed their eyes in despair.
So be it!
This life ends here.
…
Meanwhile.
Lin Yu had just finished massacring a world and returned to Blue Star.
His wristband began to beep incessantly.
“Who is it, always causing trouble?” Lin Yu grumbled with displeasure.
He opened his wristband to check. After reading the message, his expression shifted multiple times.
Lin Wu, seeing this, asked, “Main Body, what’s wrong?”
Lin Yu showed him the message. After reading it, Lin Wu said urgently, “Main Body, we can’t wait any longer. We must go now. If we delay, it will be troublesome.”
Lin Yu nodded. “No rush!”
No rush?
Lin Wu was stunned.
The next moment, Lin Yu lightly tapped the void, and the distorted space formed a spatial gate.
Lin Wu was perplexed, as clones and the main body’s talents were not mutually exclusive. He was unaware of Lin Yu’s talent upgrades.
“This is the ability granted by the upgrade of my third talent, 'Sparrow Step.' It can not only open gates between worlds but also within them. Let’s go!”
Lin Yu finished speaking and stepped through.
The next moment.
The scenery changed drastically.
…
“Humans, you have offended and defied the gods. Your sins are heinous. Today, we, the gods, shall bestow death upon you!”
The gods’ voices echoed as their attacks descended.
No matter what means the humans employed, they were futile. They could not withstand the gods and could only await their judgment.
The humans looked up, tears welling in their eyes.
They closed their eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.
After a long wait, death did not come as expected.
They opened their eyes in confusion, only to see a giant standing before them.
The giant was ten thousand meters tall, wielding an axe, stepping on a green lotus. Small stars orbited around him, making him appear like the lord of the stars, majestic and awe-inspiring.
“You dare to kill my human race!” Lin Yu roared, “Not a single one of you will escape!”
“Divine Skill: Bloody Scroll!”
