Chapter 508: Purge
"The way he harnessed spatial power..." murmured the Slaughter God Monarch.
A thought crossed his mind, causing his pupils to dilate. "The Kirin Clan!?"
The Kirin Clan, like the Moon Demon Clan, was one of the imperial families native to the Moon Demon Domain. They were blessed by space itself, gifted with an innate mastery of spatial power.
After the Kirin Clan's God Emperor fell to the Supreme Demonic Sword, the Heavenly Demon God Emperor of that era nearly annihilated their entire race. They had faded into obscurity for generations. Yet now, against all expectations, they had reemerged—and still stood alongside the Moon Demon Clan?
Having slain the Heavenly Demon You Bai, the avatar turned his gaze toward the oncoming forces of the Pioneer and Heavenly Demon alliance. "Who's next?"
It added, "Or perhaps, you can come all at once?"
The Slaughter God Monarch commanded coldly, "You Ming, go."
He needed to determine if these Myths truly belonged to the Kirin Clan. If they did—and had allied with the Moon Demon Clan—it would demand the Heavenly Demon Clan's utmost vigilance.
Without hesitation, the God King You Ming stepped forward and summoned his God Kingdom.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of Li Pin's Myth avatar, You Ming's God Kingdom was like an open book, revealing itself with crystal clarity.
His deep study of the Moon Demon Realm and its inhabitants had left him intimately familiar with the Heavenly Demons' Myths, God Kings, and the workings of their spatial laws and God Kingdoms.
It was like the Mara Divine Treasure World was a game he had played countless times. He knew when threats would arise, their nature, their effects, and how to counter or evade them with precision.
If his opponents were overwhelmingly powerful, they could crush him with brute force and sheer attribute advantage. However, the gap between Myths, God Kings, and God Monarchs was not an unbridgeable chasm. Under such circumstances, the outcome of the clash was almost predetermined.
As You Ming's God Kingdom descended, Li Pin's avatar clenched his hand. The high-frequency vibrations of spatial power resonated strangely with the God Kingdom, creating a unique harmonization.
What should have been an impenetrable force, capable of stripping a Myth Realm expert of their spatial control, instead resembled a brittle sheet of metal. A single breach would have allowed effortless penetration.
Thankfully, a God King's God Kingdom was far more substantial than the spatial power wielded by a Myth Realm expert. This gave You Ming time to react.
The moment the God Kingdom was pierced, You Ming acted swiftly. Spatial power coalesced in his hands, forming a violent spatial storm that tore toward Li Pin's avatar with devastating force, intent on shredding him to pieces.
Despite the attack being so powerful that even a God King would have had to rely on their God Kingdom to withstand it, Li Pin's avatar remained utterly unfazed. He fearlessly dashed into the spatial storm, his keen senses effortlessly deciphering the intricate dance of spatial forces.
Dodging each attack with the precision of a dancer on a razor's edge, he charged directly toward You Ming, whose eyes widened in disbelief.
A spatial blade, condensed from compressed spatial power, formed in the avatar's hand. It cleaved downward like an invincible divine weapon, aiming straight for You Ming.
The instant it struck, the blade detonated in a concentrated burst of power, far surpassing the intensity of the initial spatial storm. You Ming's final, despairing scream was swallowed by the explosion, his form utterly annihilated as the chaos subsided.
While Li Pin was slaying the God King, a terrifying destructive force surged toward him from behind.
The Slaughter God Monarch, realizing the peril his trusted God King faced, had intervened.
Li Pin's avatar didn't spare the God Monarch's sudden attack a glance.
While he was on the move, two other Myth Realm avatars, already anticipating the Slaughter God Monarch's intentions, acted simultaneously.
The Slaughter God Monarch and the two avatars each unleashed a spatial storm. They collided violently, obliterating the very fabric of space for hundreds of miles around. All matter caught in their destructive path was pulverized, crushed into nothingness by the immense forces at play.
As for the first avatar who attacked, he rode the dispersing shockwaves of the spatial storm to quickly disengage. [1]
"Impressive, God Monarch," the avatar remarked, turning to face the battlefield.
In their unified consciousness, it sensed how the Slaughter God Monarch, leveraging his attribute advantage, had crushed the other two avatars.
As the saying goes, "A swimming champion can conquer vast rivers like the Yangtze, but is no match for the overwhelming force of a tsunami."
This wasn't a question of skill anymore—it was pure power breaking through everything.
However, even the power of a God Monarch had its limits. As long as the avatars weren’t instantly destroyed or overwhelmed in a single strike, surrounding and taking down a God Monarch wasn’t just a fantasy.
The three Myth Realm avatars, perfectly coordinated without a word exchanged, launched a synchronized attack on the Slaughter God Monarch.
Meanwhile, another three avatars stepped forward, issuing a challenge to the Destruction God Monarch. "Together."
However, upon glancing at the remaining twenty some avatars and making a quick calculation of their total numbers, the Destruction God Monarch made a decisive decision.
"Retreat!"
With a low command, he abandoned all pretense of being a world-class expert and retreated hastily, followed by the entire Dragon Hawk Squad that accompanied him.
They had mistakenly believed that with their lineup, they could easily deal with what they thought was only one God Monarch, one God King, and eighty-eight Myths on Li Pin's side.
However, as the battle unfolded, they were shocked to discover that the eighty-eight Myths had unleashed combat power on par with God Kings—top-tier God Kings, no less.
Three avatars working together could even challenge a God Monarch.
Such power was terrifying. With their numbers, it was no exaggeration to say their combined strength rivaled that of one to two hundred God Kings.
How could anyone possibly stand against that?
Only by rallying the strongest experts from around the world could they hope to mount a siege.
But the World Heart clearly didn’t have the influence to gather all the world’s top experts.
Just then, a calm voice echoed from behind. "Since you're already here, why leave so soon?"
A figure rose slowly on the distant horizon. From a thousand kilometers away, it unleashed a sword strike across the battlefield.
The moment the sword light slashed through the air, the Slaughter God Monarch, the Destruction God Monarch, and even the pioneers seemed to catch a glimpse of the Supreme Demonic Sword's unparalleled sharpness they had encountered in previous cycles of reincarnation.
The strike tore through the void with unparalleled speed, carrying an overwhelming Sword Intent. Even from a thousand kilometers away, it nearly rendered the Destruction God Monarch's mind incapable of functioning.
No matter how he evaded, resisted, or countered, the Sword Intent remained locked onto him. It carried an unyielding will, determined to pierce his soul and obliterate his spirit.
The Destruction God Monarch screamed in disbelief. "Immortal Sword Intent! This is Immortal Sword Intent!"
A Sword Intent forged from immortal will? Spiritual immortality? Such a technique belonged to the God Emperor realm!
But wasn't the one working with the Moon Goddess said to be merely a God King? How could he suddenly ascend to the level of a God Emperor?
The shock he felt at that moment far surpassed his fear. It was only when the sword beam, imbued with terrifying Sword Intent, shattered space and closed in on him that he snapped back to reality.
But it was too late.
The Destruction God Monarch unleashed a counterattack on par with Li Pin's Vacuum Pulverizer strikes. The surrounding space, spanning hundreds of miles, seemed to disintegrate into its most basic particles.
Yet, even this couldn't halt the edge of the oncoming sword.
The beam surged forward like a projectile from the Supreme Demonic Sword, as if powered by an engine that required no material fuel. Every ripple of space became a source of propulsion, driving the indestructible immortal sword qi straight through the Destruction God Monarch's body.
In that instant, the immortal mental spirit crashed down like a towering mountain, suppressing every ounce of his consciousness.
No matter what life-saving techniques he possessed—Limb Regeneration, Blood Rebirth, Decoy Clones, or Damage Transfer—they all became useless. The Destruction God Monarch's mind, paralyzed and subdued by the erupting Sword Intent, could not command his abilities.
By the time the immortal will receded and dissipated, the Destruction God Monarch had already been utterly destroyed by the sword qi.
"This... is the Immortal Realm..." he murmured, his voice tinged with awe, regret, unwillingness, and a trace of... satisfaction.
In the next moment, the Destruction God Monarch's consciousness, a God Monarch ranked among the strongest of the three domains, completely faded away.
"A God Emperor!? How could there be a God Emperor!? That man... wasn't he a pioneer like us? The power of a pioneer caps at the God King level. How could he possibly ascend to the God Emperor Realm!?"
Long Ying, who had arrived as part of the coalition, was struck with terror at the sight. "Run! Now!"
"A God Emperor!? A pioneer actually broke through to God Emperor!? He must have uncovered critical information!"
The remaining invited God Kings erupted with power, spatial ripples flashing as they raced to escape.
Yet, the reason Li Pin had initially dispatched only thirty-three Myths to intercept them wasn't due to a lack of power. It was because he had also sent fifty-five avatars to encircle them, ensuring no escape.
As the fleeing God Kings rushed blindly, they fell straight into the trap set by Li Pin's fifty-five Myth Realm avatars.
A single thought split into a hundred, each avatar wielded part of his focus. Although this slightly weakened their individual power, it was more than sufficient to hold the enemies in place until the main body arrived.
In moments, over a dozen Pioneers were sent into reincarnation, including the Gold Pioneer, Long Ying.
Neither of the two elite God Monarchs from the Heavenly Demon Clan, beings who stood among the strongest, survived. Both fell to Li Pin's sword.
Aside from a few who managed to escape, nearly half of the Heavenly Demon Clan's elite forces perished here.
For the first time, the omniscient and omnipotent cultivation system revealed its sharp edge.
