Chapter 25: God Slaying
First of all, the "Ancient Abyss Existences" seemed no weaker than "Thriving Frenzy" or "Candle Maiden"; the two sides were likely the pinnacle of two different types of existence.
Secondly, the "Ancient Abyss Existences" had existed for an incredibly long time. Su Xiao knew the history of the Star Realm's "Ancient Era," but he always felt that the history of the Star Realm should be even longer, and records of earlier eras had likely long since been lost in the river of time.
However, these "Ancient Abyss Existences" might all be witnesses to those ancient eras. From the distant reaches of the Abyss, they watched the changes in the Star Realm. The natural elemental power shrouding the Star Realm made them unwilling to approach it.
One thing was certain: the things preserved by the "Ancient Abyss Existences" were bound to be top-tier treasures. The reason was simple: if they weren't top-tier treasures, their "power of existence" wouldn't have withstood such a long passage of time.
What truly made Su Xiao feel like he had struck it rich was that these "Ancient Abyss Existences" were actually interested in "Common Source Matter."
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed normal. The distant reaches of the Abyss might have plenty of "Supreme Source Matter: Abyss Source Matter," but the environment there made it very unlikely to condense "Common Source Matter." Rarity brought value.
These "Common Source Matters," containing various peculiar "Source Matter" characteristics, were likely like trace elements needed by the human body for the "Ancient Abyss Existences." Of course, if the "Ancient Abyss Existences" couldn't absorb "Common Source Matter," they would at most fall into slumber.
But if they could obtain "Common Source Matter," they wouldn't mind paying with some of the "junk" or "useless little shiny stones" they had collected over the years.
A while ago, Su Xiao went to the Great Gathering Place, where there were stalls specifically selling Source Matter. He saw that "Soul Source Matter" was priced at 75 ounces of Space-Time Power per portion. Compared to a while ago, the price had dropped by 5 ounces. Moreover, because it was late in the game and Necromancy types were rare, the price tag for "Soul Source Matter" also had a note:
"Ample supply, big discounts for bulk!"
Of course, there was also an element of luck. If he encountered an "Ancient Abyss Existence" that both despised Star Realm powerhouses and was greedy, he would be gone for good. But if he encountered one willing to engage in long-term trade, he would start making a killing.
Su Xiao put away the [Endless Ring]. For now, it was hard to obtain "Common Source Matter," and conducting such communication and trade without being in Reincarnation Paradise was too risky.
Su Xiao walked out of the now-empty treasure vault. There were passages to the left and right of the vault. As soon as he exited, he saw Ancient Clan Chief Hatu approaching, his three subordinates nowhere to be seen.
Without any negotiation, Su Xiao took out a commemorative gold coin.
Ding~
The coin flipped into the air, and before it could fall, he caught it.
"Reverse."
Ancient Clan Chief Hatu spoke. When Su Xiao opened his hand, the coin was heads up. This seemed like a gamble of luck, but it was actually a contest of suppressing each other's perception. As the victor, Su Xiao walked toward the passage on the right.
Not far ahead, the team was reduced to just Su Xiao and the Alchemy Maid. As for Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and the Grey Hound Brothers, they had all retreated back the way they came. The subordinates of the Ancient Clan Chief and the Myriad Origins were nowhere to be seen, requiring caution.
Previously, Clock Tower Master Xilgefu had said that they had been blocked by the "Visage of All Things" and couldn't reach this secret island. Su Xiao wouldn't fully believe this. Even if these guys hadn't set foot on the island themselves, they must have had ways to scout the area beforehand.
Su Xiao walked through a metal passage that looked like it had been melted. At first, the Alchemy Maid followed closely behind him, but now her pace was getting faster and faster, even moving ahead of him.
As they advanced, a howling underground wind came from ahead, along with a thick, pungent smell of blood, so strong it was almost choking.
The metal passage abruptly ended. Su Xiao stepped into an underground space. Looking up, it was a hundred meters high. The ceiling was embedded with all kinds of bones, clearly smashed up there by immense force and firmly lodged in place.
In this vast underground space, covering tens of thousands of square meters, stood crimson stalactite pillars. These pillars were thick at both ends and thinner in the middle, covered in black fur.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The repetitive sound of smashing came from the center of the underground space. Continuing forward, past the pile of bones ahead, the ground here was actually paved with bones. Because they were haphazardly piled, the terrain was like a desert, with uneven bone dunes.
Central area.
Thump! Thump! Thump!!
This was a figure over 4.5 meters tall. It wore a full suit of crimson battle armor that seemed to be fused onto its body. Its eyes were bloodthirsty yet numb, with scarlet pupils. In its hand was a square warhammer, which it used to smash the skulls in front of it, crushing them and filling the black pit in the center.
Compared to "Mother of Birth: Eve's" ultimate seduction and the horror of her true form, the crimson battle armor seemed somewhat ordinary. But what if the square warhammer in his hand, named "God's Lament," was one of the top three heaviest weapons in the Star Realm, and the bones he was smashing belonged to Supreme-tier gods?
All the bones here were actually the bones of gods, the weakest being Ninth Rank gods, many were Absolute Strength, and there were even Supreme-tier god bones.
This person was the most notorious butcher of the Second Era: Alchemical Civilization, the God Slayer: Golz. He had killed more gods than anyone else in the history of the Star Realm.
The most important point was, don't be fooled by his seemingly ordinary, crimson, and burly full-body armor. Compared to some enemies with extremely high entry-level presence, he was more dangerous. The Alchemists of the Second Era had used a massive amount of "Ancient God Source" to create the "Infinite Source," a treasure of the Ancient God system.
So, where did all that "Ancient God Source" come from? That's right, the God Slayer: Golz was one of the few, besides a limited number of Ancestral Law Destroyers, who dared and had the ability to hunt Ancient Gods.
As if sensing Su Xiao's arrival, the God Slayer stopped hammering. He held the dark gold metal handle of "God's Lament" in his right hand, hoisting the heavy weapon onto his right shoulder. Slightly hunched, his left arm hung naturally between his legs, and a drop of extremely vivid red blood dripped from the gauntlet on his fingertip.
Good news 1: The God Slayer was injured.
Good news 2: The maximum combat power in this world was below "Supreme Peak."
Super bad news: This injury was from the Deer God in the past.
Clang!
The long blade was drawn. Su Xiao's aura exploded like a sea of blood, causing the surrounding god bones to surge outward.
In the midst of the overwhelming blood energy, the God Slayer crossed one arm in front of him. His originally numb gaze regained some alertness. White cold mist exhaled from the vents on his mouth. He sensed it—this was an opponent he had fought before, a very troublesome one... a Shadow of Law Destruction.
Boom!
The God Slayer stomped the ground. The shockwave from this stomp was as fierce as Su Xiao's earlier kick to the vault door. The bones here were instantly cleared, blasted to the surrounding walls.
The God Slayer's crimson color intensified to the extreme, his armor turning pitch black, and his aura followed suit.
Holding his long blade, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, Su Xiao stood calmly. The God Slayer, slightly hunched with "God's Lament" on his shoulder, stood opposite him.
No words were needed. Meeting meant a life-or-death battle.
With a boom, all the bones in the underground space were shaken into the air. Su Xiao and the God Slayer vanished simultaneously, leaving only a trail of blood and a black light in the air.
The long blade and the warhammer clashed violently.
After a brief silence came a deafening explosion-like roar. With the two at the center, the space cracked like a huge shattered mirror, fracturing in large pieces.
Holding the long blade, Su Xiao felt his right arm go numb instantly. The enemy's strength was ridiculously powerful. To be safe, this slash appeared to be a powerful chop, but it was actually a powerful chop combined with a perfect block.
The God Slayer's gaze also changed. The Law Destroyer he had fought in the past, though the fight was intense and even slightly outmatched him, was repelled or even nearly sent flying by his first blow.
On the "God's Lament" in the God Slayer's hand, a dark gold liquid substance emerged, suddenly amplifying the power of this blow. It felt as if the God Slayer, though seemingly motionless, was hammering blow after blow.
Clang!
The long blade's block was broken, and Su Xiao took a large step back.
'Extreme Blade: Heavy Moon!'
The God Slayer was about to press the advantage, but a heavy, pitch-black slashing force pressed down.
Clang!
The moment the God Slayer was suppressed by "Heavy Moon," Su Xiao delivered a powerful slash and used the recoil to leap backward.
"Roar!"
The Blood Beast formed and pounced. The God Slayer's body was momentarily stunned by the blood energy. In that brief numbness, Su Xiao closed in.
'Chasing Stars and Moon.'
Star points appeared on the God Slayer's armor and weapon.
Clang!
Su Xiao's blade struck the blocking "God's Lament." This seemingly light blow nearly sent the God Slayer flying backward. He forcibly steadied himself.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
Su Xiao delivered four consecutive slashes, each hitting a star point on the God Slayer's body. It seemed like only light armor penetration, causing blood to splatter. In reality, "Star Chase" was complete, and "Moon Shadow" appeared above.
A silver full moon appeared in the sky. Su Xiao delivered a powerful slash.
Clang!
The long blade was blocked by "God's Lament," but the moon disk above enveloped the God Slayer. The slash suddenly descended, leaving a deep cut on the God Slayer's chest. Silver moonlight seeped from the wound, continuously eroding him. This blow caused the God Slayer's health to drop significantly.
As for the God Slayer's 920% health, don't mind the details for now. Yes, the God Slayer's strength was very simple and crude: immense power, incredible speed, and extremely high vitality and defense. The simpler the strength, the more unsolvable it became in the late game.
Wind pressure came from the side.
'Feather Shell.'
Su Xiao leaped backward as if his soul had left his shell. With a roar, his crystal shell was shattered and flew sideways. Almost simultaneously, he appeared behind the God Slayer.
'Extreme Blade: Star Piercer.'
This was Su Xiao's most penetrating and fastest slash, aimed directly at the back of the God Slayer's head.
Don't be fooled by the God Slayer's 920% maximum health. He was flesh and blood, without immortality or the ability to revive. Even his self-healing was similar to Su Xiao's. Because of this, he had terrifying combat instincts and perception.
The God Slayer turned his head with all his might, the armor on the side of his neck cracking. But he had to do this. If this blade pierced through his head, he would die instantly. The penetrating force behind him, capable of piercing a star, made him certain of this.
"Ha!"
The God Slayer roared, stomping the ground. A dark gold shockwave spread.
Just as Su Xiao's thrust missed, his ears buzzed. He almost instantly used "Dragon Shadow Flash" to penetrate space, evading the next attack.
When his consciousness returned, Su Xiao broke free from a bone wall, spitting blood. His whole body felt like his bones were falling apart, and his internal organs burned like fire.
Not only that, blood gushed from his left ear, his left eye was bloodshot, and his left arm was twisted and bent. Yes, the moment after being shaken by the dark gold shockwave, he was sent flying by a warhammer blow. "God's Lament," with its sheer physical attack, had pierced through the space penetration of "Dragon Shadow Flash."
Clang!
The long blade blocked the incoming "God's Lament." The blood on Su Xiao's body and chin was shaken into the air. These blood beads, suspended in midair, turned into blood energy, forming a Blood Beast.
'Extreme Blade: Furious Beast.'
"Roar!!"
Although the mini Blood Beast's roar was weak, it drove the slashing force of "Extreme Blade," causing the roar's power to skyrocket. In other words, the mini Blood Beast was just the activation method.
The God Slayer opposite was hit by the oncoming slashing pressure, his mind buzzing. He really hadn't expected that an enemy suppressed to this extent could turn the tables with just a dozen drops of blood.
The charging God Slayer was right in front of Su Xiao. Stunned by the slashing pressure, Su Xiao took the opportunity to deliver a straight kick.
The God Slayer suddenly vanished without a sound. After a brief delay, a sonic boom and airwave erupted from where he had been, leaving a diagonal upward afterimage.
Boom!!!
The God Slayer flew diagonally upward. The power of this kick sent him breaking through the building layers, rock layers, and soil layers above, blasting him onto the island.
Not only that, the God Slayer flew diagonally far away, crashing into the Sea of Life. He plowed through the splashing water for over a dozen kilometers before stopping. He crouched on the water's surface, a large mouthful of blood spraying from the vents of his helmet, attracting a large number of underwater worms.
With a boom, the God Slayer vanished from the spot.
Inside the underground space, a loud crash came from above. The God Slayer smashed through the ceiling and landed. Slightly hunched, his left hand formed a claw, blood dripping from the edge of his helmet.
Su Xiao placed the Dragon-Slaying Flash under his left armpit and casually sliced off his already twisted left arm.
Crack, crack, crack~
A crystal left arm formed. The "Combat Prosthetic" was less than 4% weaker than his original left arm.
Clearly, both sides were now in a state of desperate battle, ready to pull out some trump cards.
'Extreme Blade: Azure Demon.'
Pfft!
Blood splattered from the God Slayer's left shoulder. A cyan-blue slash embedded itself into the bone wall behind him. This caused the God Slayer's scarlet pupils to contract. The cyan-blue slash was so fast that he only had time to twist his body, dodging his throat and neck.
'Extreme Blade: Azure Demon!'
Pfft!
Blood splattered. A deep, bone-reaching cut appeared on the God Slayer's abdomen. He charged forward. At medium range, this incredibly fast slash was almost unstoppable.
With a whoosh, wind pressure hit Su Xiao's face. He instantly had the same hairstyle as Kingsley.
'Perfect Block!'
Clang!!
Su Xiao took half a step back. If he hadn't upgraded "Perfect Block" to a Supreme passive, this blow would have broken his block and shattered most of his body.
Su Xiao's crystal left hand pressed against the ground. The crystal shell formed by "Feather Shell" allowed him to duck faster. A terrifying wind pressure swept overhead, plowing through all the space affected by the warhammer, showing its power.
With a thud, the moment Su Xiao leaped backward, "God's Lament" smashed down from above onto his previous position. Midair, Su Xiao pointed his left index finger at the God Slayer.
'Blood Smoke Cannon.'
Blood energy gathered at his fingertip, compressed to the limit, then shot out as a blood-colored ray, breaking through layers of airwaves along the way.
The God Slayer charged forward while suddenly twisting to dodge. He then vanished from Su Xiao's perception. It wasn't teleportation, but... his instantaneous speed was so fast that perception caught it, but transmitting it to the body took time. The God Slayer's burst speed was faster than the perception-to-body transmission.
If his combat experience wasn't freakishly sufficient, this surprise attack would have been an instant kill.
'Extreme Blade: Heavy Moon!'
Boom!
The slashing force landed on Su Xiao himself. The "God's Lament," coming at super speed with extreme power, entered the slashing zone and was immediately affected. This was a moment less than 0.0001 seconds.
'Substitution.'
With a loud thud, the Demon Spirit was blasted into the bone wall behind.
"Hoo~"
The God Slayer exited the super-speed and extreme-power state. He exhaled hot air. It was clear that entering this state was a huge burden for him, but it was worth it. A normal "Super-Top Supreme" god would have been instantly killed by this blow.
'Instant Return!'
Su Xiao swapped positions with the Demon Spirit again, appearing in the pit in the bone wall created by the Demon Spirit's impact. The Demon Spirit, meanwhile, faced the God Slayer, who had instantly appeared in front of it and was swinging his hammer down.
A hundred meters away, Su Xiao pointed his long blade, which was flowing with silver moonlight, at the God Slayer. The silver full moon above immediately changed. This was the silver moon disk he had condensed with "Chasing Stars and Moon."
Silver moon spears, swords, and blades, over three meters long, rained down from the silver moon disk. The God Slayer was forced to leap backward, but these moonlight weapons chased him as they fell, even forming a path of various weapons several meters wide along the way.
The God Slayer looked at the silver moon disk above. His eyes narrowed slightly. He was sure that if he didn't deal with this silver moon disk quickly, it would continue to strengthen as the battle went on, potentially delivering a fatal blow at a critical moment.
"Blood Smoke Cannon" shot past. Although the God Slayer dodged by turning his head, it prevented him from leaping up. A moonlight blade pierced his left arm.
The God Slayer suddenly stopped. He looked at the silver moon disk above. Suddenly, the silver moon disk froze, became brittle, and shattered with a bang.
Boom!
The God Slayer vanished from the spot, charging at Su Xiao with a fierce momentum. This was the strongest enemy Su Xiao had ever faced who was most willing to engage in close combat.
Suddenly, the enemy in front split into two.
Clone abilities were common, but the problem was that both were real bodies, and their combat power hadn't decreased from the split; instead, both had increased slightly. This was extremely rare. In fact, Su Xiao had only seen this once.
With a boom, the "God's Lament" warhammer smashed into Su Xiao's previous position. As he leaped backward, wind pressure hit him.
'Feather Shell...'
Thud!
Su Xiao turned into an afterimage, crashing into the bone wall behind. Amidst flying bones, his vision was tinged with light red. This blow nearly sent him to the afterlife.
Boom!
A thrown "God's Lament" warhammer smashed into the bone pit where Su Xiao had been a moment before, shaking the entire underground space. The impact point was covered in dense cracks in space.
This was even more incomprehensible. How could a top-tier weapon like "God's Lament" also split in two, with both being 100% real?
Drip, drip~
Blood dripping from Su Xiao's chin fell into the pool of blood at his feet. Based on his combat experience, he determined that the God Slayer's top-tier clone ability—no, it should be called a division ability—had certain prerequisites. Otherwise, he would have used it at the start of the battle.
The God Slayer seemed fierce and explosive but lacking stamina. However, this was a complete deception. As the battle intensified, he would gradually awaken. Let's call it "combat warm-up."
The God Slayer needed to "warm up" to a certain level before using this "division" ability. This likely came from the "Causality System" of Alchemy. The downfall of the Alchemical Civilization was more due to their abuse of the "Causality System."
With a boom, wind pressure hit Su Xiao's face. The two God Slayers suddenly vanished from his perception again. It was that overload of extreme power and speed.
'Extreme Blade: Heavy Moon.'
The slashing force descended, continuously pouring onto Su Xiao. His eyes scanned left and right.
'Extreme Blade: Blood Smoke Cannon.'
Su Xiao pointed his long blade diagonally. The Blood Smoke Cannon, already gathered on the blade, shot out. With a clang, it slowed down one of the charging God Slayers by half a step.
Thud!
On the side bone wall, shattered bones flew like blooming white bone flowers. Su Xiao crouched in the pit on the wall, blood dripping from his chin. "God's Lament" came fiercely, aiming for his head.
'Substitution.'
Su Xiao vanished from the spot. The Demon Spirit took his place and had its head shattered.
A hundred meters away, Su Xiao was slightly hunched, his chest heaving. He felt his lungs burning with every breath, and his heart was also damaged. But he couldn't use Spirit Shadow Threads to suture and heal now. If he relaxed his perception for even 0.1 seconds, he would be shattered into pieces by "God's Lament."
Ahead, to his left and right, the two God Slayers simultaneously raised their right feet and stomped the ground. This time, two dark gold shockwaves surged forward. The power and shameless speed of this move were comparable to the "Straight Kick."
Blood energy was released, instantly forming a Blood Beast.
'Roar!'
The Blood Beast roared, its layers of blood-colored shockwaves canceling out the dark gold shockwaves. Because both were similar abilities, the enemy's body was briefly paralyzed.
The truly bad situation appeared. The two God Slayers walked forward side by side, then gradually overlapped and merged into one. A dark red aura brewed inside the God Slayer. His beastly soul was excited to the extreme.
"Roar!!!"
The God Slayer roared like a wild beast. The dark gold cloak that had just formed behind him fluttered upward.
On the opposite side, Su Xiao's blood energy suddenly depleted by a large amount. Dark red blood energy emerged, forming a spiral blood spear over two meters long. The moment this blood spear formed, a feeling of palpitation appeared. His crystal left arm grabbed the "Annihilation Blood Spear" with a snap. This was the strongest ability of the Blood Spear Grandmaster.
"X Ultimate Ability: Annihilation Blood Spear (Supreme Level: Passive). Consumes 80% of blood energy value to quickly form an 'Annihilation Blood Spear' with an attack strength equal to current base blood energy strength × (Strength + Stamina + True Willpower + Soul Strength). The flight attack speed of this blood spear will be based on your Agility attribute. You can attack enemies in the following ways.
Melee Grip: In this state, the 'Annihilation Blood Spear' will be enhanced by your technique abilities, gaining the 'Absolute Pierce' characteristic and can be detonated."
An even more astonishing scene occurred. The "Annihilation Blood Spear" in Su Xiao's left hand began to dissolve, turning into a liquid that merged into his crystal left arm.
Ahead, a sound pierced through space. The God Slayer, whose aura had surged significantly, vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, his "God's Lament" was swinging toward Su Xiao's front.
Su Xiao didn't block with his long blade. His slightly blood-red crystal left arm punched out. The punch was clean and decisive, perfectly matching his style.
Bang!!
Su Xiao's punch shattered this top-tier weapon of the Star Realm. The four-cornered hammerhead of "God's Lament" shattered into metal fragments. This caused the God Slayer's scarlet pupils to rapidly contract.
Why was Su Xiao's punch so powerful? The answer came from the "Absolute Pierce" characteristic of the "Annihilation Blood Spear."
After punching through and shattering "God's Lament," the blood-red liquid energy quickly separated from Su Xiao's crystal left arm, instantly forming the "Annihilation Blood Spear."
Pfft!
The "Annihilation Blood Spear" pierced through the God Slayer's chest. Yes, another "Absolute Pierce" characteristic. If he had used the "Annihilation Blood Spear" to pierce "God's Lament" directly, even if successful, the "Annihilation Blood Spear" would have collapsed afterward. But now, it had successfully pierced twice.
After being pierced through the chest by the "Annihilation Blood Spear," the God Slayer's power was temporarily stripped away. He was lifted by the blood spear, which then exploded violently.
The God Slayer instantly vanished, turning into an afterimage that crashed into the ceiling. The bone layer, rock layer, and soil layer above were instantly "annihilated" into nothingness. The God Slayer then turned into another afterimage, crashing into the "Alchemy Giant Eye" in the mid-to-upper sky. Eye fluid splattered everywhere and poured down in large amounts.
The "Alchemy Giant Eye" was also incredibly unlucky, caught in the battle between these two monsters. Even worse, it couldn't dodge.
On the bone field below, Su Xiao's crystal left arm was gradually forming. But the next second...
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Five figures landed around him. It was five God Slayers.
Among them, some held the "God's Lament" warhammer, some held the "God's Lament" heavy curved blade, some carried the "God's Lament" greatsword on one shoulder, and there was a tall female God Slayer, holding a "God's Lament" rapier in each hand. The rapiers were slender, with powerful piercing force and top-tier slashing ability.
Now he knew why the God Slayer could hunt Ancient Gods. With this ridiculous ability, one-on-one, the God Slayer was a top-tier close combatant. Five-on-one siege...
In an instant, the tip of the rapier was right in front of Su Xiao's eye. In the past, his path of strengthening would have truly ended here.
'Extreme Realm: Star Realm!'
With Su Xiao at the center, everything within a few hundred meters was suddenly frozen. Because the Star Realm in this area was resonated and synchronized by technique power, it appeared clearer and brighter. Everything around entered "Star Realm Freeze."
The tip of the rapier suddenly stopped right in front of his pupil. He calmly stepped back half a step, reversed his long blade, and sheathed it, assuming a drawing slash posture.
'Extreme Blade: World!'
Clang!
A sharp, metallic slashing sound appeared around Su Xiao, filling the entire area covered by "Extreme Realm: Star Realm." These two abilities unexpectedly complemented each other. Star Realm not only increased the slashing range of World but also greatly enhanced its power.
The five God Slayers were all cut into sugar-cube-sized pieces. Within the range of "Star Realm Freeze," they had no means of defense and could only rely on their physical strength to endure, because their body energy and protective energy were also frozen.
What was even more terrifying was that their thoughts were also frozen at this moment.
After 3 seconds, "Star Realm Freeze" disappeared. The pieces of flesh and blood scattered down. Five "God's Lament" series weapons fell to the ground. The Alchemical Civilization was indeed outrageous, forging so many pieces of this top-tier weapon.
Wind pressure came from above. Su Xiao leaped backward. A heavy blade was thrust diagonally into the ground. Then, the original God Slayer appeared. He had been inside the "Alchemy Giant Eye" all along and hadn't come down himself.
Threads of dark blue smoke spread inside the God Slayer's chest, causing his pupils to contract. It was the wound from the blood spear earlier. A part of the Demon Spirit had quietly entered his body, but because it was covered by Cyan Steel Shadow energy, the God Slayer hadn't noticed.
This was perfectly normal. When Cyan Steel Shadow energy invaded an enemy's body, it caused high true damage while bringing intense pain.
'Substitution.'
Su Xiao swapped positions with that part of the Demon Spirit, instantly appearing behind the God Slayer. The God Slayer, standing on the bone pile, only had time to place the dark gold heavy long blade behind him.
Boom!!!
The God Slayer turned into a streak of light, flying diagonally upward. Being hit by a full-power straight kick would naturally result in this.
In the distance above, the "Crawling Colossus," which was controlling the floating island to move away, suddenly felt its island shake. Then, its many large eyes saw that the God Slayer, whom it had always feared, had broken through its island from below, landed on it, and plowed a distance.
The "Crawling Colossus's" massive body instinctively contracted. It began to consider if it had done anything to offend the God Slayer recently and how to survive the pursuit of this executioner.
But at that moment, the God Slayer, crouching on the ground, suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. He breathed heavily a few times before stabilizing. All of the "Crawling Colossus's" eyes widened.
With a boom of spatial explosion, a teleportation array imprint appeared on the floating island. Seeing this person, the "Crawling Colossus" was equally terrified.
Su Xiao and the God Slayer had both arrived on the floating island. The "Crawling Colossus," whose size was too large to see the edges, quickly retracted its mountain of flesh, eventually shrinking to about a dozen meters high, as if to say, "You two big shots, please pretend you didn't see me, I beg you."
Although the "Crawling Colossus" and the "Shadowless Eye" were both dangers on the Sea of Life, they were vastly different. The "Crawling Colossus" was captured by the Alchemists, while the "Shadowless Eye" was invited and given sincere gifts.
Above was an orange-yellow cloud stream. On the now-stationary floating island, Su Xiao and the God Slayer stood facing each other. The next second, both vanished from the spot simultaneously.
'Extreme Blade: White Night.'
'God Slaying.'
The two long blades clashed. Layers of wind pressure scattered. As space crackled and shattered, the floating island broke in two along the line between them.
The immense impact force sent both flying backward. The floating island, now broken in half like a snapped cookie, could no longer hold together and shattered into large pieces that fell.
Su Xiao stood on a piece of broken island. He leaped forward. On the opposite side, the God Slayer suddenly vanished from perception again. It was the super-speed state. He reappeared behind Su Xiao, his black blade slashing at Su Xiao's nape.
With a crack, the shattered "Feather Shell" scattered. Su Xiao, now behind the God Slayer...
'Extreme Blade: Star Piercer.'
The long blade pierced through the God Slayer's head. The God Slayer's body faded. This was an illusion left behind at super speed, where his physical speed had broken through space.
The black blade slashed into Su Xiao's neck. The blade cut through skin and flesh. Just as it cut in one-third of the way, the God Slayer behind Su Xiao suddenly stopped.
With Su Xiao at the center, everything within a few hundred meters was instantly frozen. Or rather, the Star Realm in this area was resonated and synchronized by technique power, causing everything around to enter "Star Realm Freeze."
Su Xiao turned his body, letting the black blade leave his neck. He stood in midair like this. The long blade in his hand was shrouded in dark blue smoke. He slashed backhand.
Clang!
It was like drawing a dark blue ink slash on a frozen canvas with a clean blade cut. The God Slayer's head was severed from his body.
When "Star Realm Freeze" faded, the God Slayer's eyes regained some light. But his left finger only twitched once before the light in his eyes began to fade. Yes, he had lost, beheaded with a single slash.
As for why Su Xiao could use "Extreme Realm: Star Realm" twice in one battle, the upgraded "Extreme Realm: Star Realm" could last a total of 5 seconds. He had only activated it for 3 seconds earlier, and now for about 1.5 seconds. He never used abilities in a standard way just because they could last 5 seconds.
Large amounts of island debris fell into the sea, crashing loudly. Su Xiao landed on the water's surface. The next second, a large group of black worms in the seawater beneath him fled to the depths of the seabed, not daring to approach him.
He lightly flicked the long blade, shaking off the blood, and sheathed it.
The God Slayer had been slain.
Su Xiao's gaze fell on the "Crawling Colossus," which had shrunk to about a dozen meters high, like a mountain of flesh, a few dozen meters away. The "Crawling Colossus," which was about to sneak away, trembled and stopped. Its many eyes were wide open. At this moment, it was terrified.
