Chapter 2423: The Lone Star God Never Falls
This course of action was undoubtedly extremely risky. Scattered like this, once surrounded and attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable!
But Jiangnan had already prepared a comprehensive life insurance for everyone, and with Little Cherry around, it wasn't a big deal!
Besides, it was only the truly strong who were leaving the group!
For example, if Baldr stayed with Odin and the others under the current situation, it would undoubtedly be a waste of resources!
To avoid falling behind at this stage, efficiency had to be maximized!
Maybe some human contestants would be eliminated because of this, but their lives were safe, and in exchange, they gained efficiency in harvesting points—undoubtedly the right choice!
After deciding on the course of action, the humans, who had originally been divided into four groups, broke apart again!
They split into nearly fifty groups, each heading for their respective targets!
Just moments ago, the humans had been darting around the starry sky like headless flies, but now they seemed to have a clear goal!
They split up, using the Rift Magic Butterfly's long-range teleportation to move quickly!
This drew exclamations from the countless support groups outside Julang City!
Σ(°△°|||) "What the hell? What are the humans doing? There are only a little over three hundred of them, and they're spreading out like this? A team of six or seven people—what can they accomplish?"
(￢益￢٥) "Sigh... They're not seriously thinking that just six or seven of them can harvest points, are they? Harvesting others, or being harvested? This is way too arrogant, right?"
(￢_￢) "Heh heh... Probably seeing the major races' points skyrocketing and getting anxious, so they're rushing in. Or maybe they think Jiangnan's reputation will keep other races from daring to touch them?"
"They're all going to kill us anyway—why wouldn't we fight back? Even if they're afraid of Jiangnan and won't go for the kill, they'll still come after us to eliminate us!"
The human team's move stunned the various sequences. Scattered attacks? Weren't they just asking for death?
Chong Feiyu, however, snickered slyly. If anyone underestimated these human contestants, they'd be in for a nasty surprise. They had no idea how many cheats these guys had stacked on themselves!
Jiangnan didn't even hesitate. He headed straight for the largest sequence melee battlefield in the starry sky right now!
He poured all his spirit energy into the Warp Bubble, accelerating crazily—even Destiny's Heavenly Punishment could barely keep up!
On that battlefield, more than a dozen third-rate sequences were engaged in chaotic battle, scratching and clawing at each other, fighting with all they had!
This was the only time they could earn points, so they tried to grab every moment. They didn't know how long it would be before they got eliminated.
The starry sky was filled with expanding domains, explosions of light, blossoming spirit skills—the sounds of charging, roaring, and shouting were endless!
Nearby planets had been shattered, and everyone's eyes were bloodshot with the frenzy!
"Boom!"
From a distant part of the starry sky came ear-splitting thunder!
Many contestants locked in battle noticed the rolling thunder!
(°ー°〃) "Wh... what's that..."
Before they could finish, the guy was cut down by his opponent!
(･ˇꇴˇ･#) "Ha! Fighting me and you dare to get distracted? Are you looking to die?"
But suddenly, terrified shouts rang out across the battlefield:
ﾚ(⚆益⚆٥)ﾍ=З=З=З "Jiangnan! It's the Jiang Devil!"
ﾚ(ﾟ﹏ﾟ;)ﾍ "Run! Run the hell away! Stop fighting!"
Just a moment ago, the chaotic battlefield exploded like fireworks as everyone fled in all directions. Quite a few even activated their life tokens immediately!
"Flash of Time!"
Mila put a 2-second Time Sundial on Jiangnan!
World, stop!
"Boom!"
A vivid blood-red line suddenly appeared across the vast battlefield. Jiangnan, using a Warp Charge, slammed into the center of the battlefield, shattering every contestant in his path!
Then he raised his hand toward the sky!
"Dimensional Reduction Strike!"
A two-dimensional plane spanning thousands of kilometers formed, expanding wildly across the battlefield!
No one knew how many people were sent to the 2D dimension!
The next moment, the sundial phantom vanished, and over two hundred bolts of Destiny's Heavenly Punishment crashed down, heavily injecting themselves into the 2D plane!
The plane instantly expanded, covering the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye, even two-dimensionalizing the surrounding planets and stars!
But even so, quite a few slipped through the cracks!
Jiangnan immediately dismissed the 2D plane, switching to Void of Nothingness, and began spinning wildly across the battlefield with over two hundred bolts of Destiny's Heavenly Punishment hanging over his head!
The sounds of charging and roaring had vanished from the field, replaced by thunder!
Even if Jiangnan hadn't used the Dimensional Reduction Strike, the over two hundred lethal bolts of Destiny's Heavenly Punishment alone would have been enough to kill these third-rate sequence contestants!
This was a true dimensional reduction in terms of strength!
Jiangnan's total points skyrocketed by over forty thousand!
At the teleportation point in Julang City, many charred and blackened sequence contestants were sent back, smoke rising from their bodies as they coughed up blood!
Their eyes were filled with intense terror!
(#థཀཥ)σ "Devil! He's a devil! Pfft—"
Quite a few had managed to activate their life tokens in the thunder, lucky to have escaped with their lives!
While Jiangnan was strolling around the battlefield, Night Iris's Dark Cosmos team emerged from the void right behind him!
Seeing the raging thunder on the battlefield, she twitched:
(≖﹏≖✿) "Freak... He beat me to it, huh?"
Jiangnan propped up the 2D plane again and waved at Night Iris:
(ﾟꇴﾟ)ﾂ "Hey—fancy meeting you here! Wanna come down and join?"
٩(๑˃̶ꇴ˂̶)۶ "Master! I'm coming!"
Night Jinshi was about to rush over, but Night Iris grabbed the back of her neck!
Join my ass—you've already cleared them all!
(≖～≖✿) "Keep at it. See ya."
With that, she led the Dark Cosmos team to the next location.
Jiangnan clicked his tongue. Even the Dark Cosmos was in such a hurry? He couldn't afford to slow down either!
"Let's go, let's go—next stop!"
Jiangnan began his frantic round of battlefield hopping, heading straight for the most crowded places. Even when he ran into major races on the way, they all gave him a wide berth!
Even if Jiangnan arrived only to find that a major race had already beaten him to it, they would tactfully withdraw, leaving this batch of "monsters" for Jiangnan!
Because if they didn't, Jiangnan would just go in and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
And at that moment, Jiangnan's terrifying destructive power was on full display!
No matter how large the melee or stronghold, Jiangnan never stayed for more than three minutes!
Every contestant from every race would be turned into Jiangnan's points—no exceptions!
Right now, the thing every contestant dreaded most was seeing that iconic Destiny's Heavenly Punishment!
Once the heavenly punishment appeared, it meant Jiangnan had arrived!
Combined with Mila, they didn't even have a chance to escape!
With the major races staying out of the picture, no one in Chuangjie Daxu could stop Jiangnan!
He was a merciless point-harvesting machine!
But what the various races' support groups were thankful for was that there was only one freak like Jiangnan!
And relying on Jiangnan alone couldn't drag the whole human race up by the bootstraps, carrying the whole family on his back!
Teams of six or seven people going to attack teams of tens of thousands of contestants? Wasn't that just asking for a beating?
Even if the lower-ranked sequences were weaker, they weren't so weak that they could be bullied by just anyone. After all, they were the strongest of their races, selected through layers of elimination!
They were probably in for a rude awakening!
Meanwhile, Xiao Chuihuo and Zhao Dezhu had already arrived at a battle cluster!
The Frost Giant Clan and the Northern Barbarian Clan had teamed up to surround and attack the Li Clan, farming points. The battlefield was a mess!
In total, there were about twenty thousand people on the field!
Xiao Chuihuo and Zhao Dezhu's arrival didn't attract anyone's attention at all!
They were even more brazen—only the two of them showed up!
(￢_￢) "Hey—stop fighting! Just come at us all at once! I'm in a hurry!"
But Xiao Chuihuo's voice was completely drowned out by the roaring. No one noticed the two extra people!
Zhao Dezhu laughed heartily and patted Xiao Chuihuo on the shoulder!
"Forget it—leave the aggro-drawing to me!"
He took a step forward and roared!
"Universal Enmity!"
In that instant, Zhao Dezhu's body radiated endless golden light!
The contestants from the three clans who had been fighting all turned their gazes onto Zhao Dezhu!
He had just taunted everyone on the entire battlefield!
"What the hell? Where did these two humans come from? Just two? What's that supposed to mean? Are they mocking all of us?"
"Do they really think the two of them can take on all of us? Who do they think they are? This is the biggest insult!"
"Even if we're not as strong as the major races, we're still ranked over five thousand! They're asking to die! Brothers, charge! Tear these two melon-skins apart!"
"W... wait—are we really going to attack humans? Aren't we afraid of Jiangnan?"
Clearly, some were afraid of Jiangnan's retribution. The Angel Execution still cast a long shadow!
But the Frost Giant chieftain was impatient: "They're attacking us, and we're not allowed to fight back? We don't have to kill them—just eliminate them, and it's done!"
"I don't believe Jiangnan can actually track us down! They're just a couple of human nobodies! Hit them all together, kill them instantly, and then we keep farming!"
In an instant, every contestant on the battlefield attacked Zhao Dezhu simultaneously. Countless devastating skills descended like a torrent, unstoppable, splitting heaven and earth!
Layer upon layer of domains pressed down, enough to shatter even a celestial god!
A combined attack from so many experts was no joke!
Xiao Chuihuo raised an eyebrow: (๑◔_◔ิ) "You taking this, or am I?"
Zhao Dezhu laughed heartily: "Same as always—I'll take the hits, you dish out the damage!"
With that, he strode toward the torrent of skills, facing down the stacked domains. With each step, his aura grew stronger, the divine light and divine patterns swirling on his body becoming more intense!
His eyes seemed to hold two suns, burning with fury as he roared!
"Domain Expansion—Star God Undefeated!"
In that instant, endless divine power erupted from Zhao Dezhu's body, like a dam bursting, a volcano exploding!
"Boom!"
A towering, heaven-reaching golden ancient star god phantom stood tall in the starry sky!
Its body was so massive that even a blazing red giant star in the starry sky was only the size of one of its eyes!
The ancient star god's body, formed from divine power, was extremely solid, seeming almost real, with endless divine patterns flowing across its skin!
And its face—it was Zhao Dezhu's own!
This ancient star god's body was Zhao Dezhu's domain form!
With one hand, he grabbed—divine patterns materialized out of thin air, forming a golden star sea great shield!
He slammed it down in front of him!
"Boom!"
The torrent of skills collided with the shield like waves crashing against an unshakable divine mountain. Divine patterns shattered and re-formed on the golden shield as it absorbed the combined attack!
Everyone was stunned by the enormous ancient star god phantom. What kind of monster was this?
Even the Desolate God Clan couldn't transform into something this big, right?
Zhao Dezhu roared again, raising his hand high as divine patterns converged into a golden battle axe!
Stepping forward with his shield, he swung the golden axe and brought it crashing down upon the entire battlefield!
"Star God Heaven-Opening!"
A blazing golden axe-light slashed downward, cleaving the entire battlefield from top to bottom. It even shattered several planets in the process!
Countless people were crushed outright, and the overlapping domains were torn apart by the single axe strike!
The divine power tide that rippled out blasted everyone away, splitting the battlefield wide open!
Xiao Chuihuo laughed: "Old Zhao, you still love showing off!"
As he spoke, flames blazed fiercely on his body!
"Now... it's my turn!"
