Chapter 1335: Brutal Slaughter
Killing intent, bloodthirst, malice… mixed with an incredibly dense aura of blood and gore swept toward them, causing even the peerless experts of the Star God Realm to feel nauseated. After the shock of having their perceptions violently torn apart, coldness and fear crept into the hearts and souls of everyone like demons… This was a fear that seemed beyond the resistance of willpower, more terrifying than the hellish winds in their nightmares.
And the source of it all… Yun Che before their eyes. His entire body was shrouded in an extremely dense blood aura, making his form invisible, impossible to even determine whether it was a blood aura or wildly spraying thick blood.
But within the thick redness flickered two points of light even more intense than blood, like the blood-red pupils of a hellish demon god suddenly opening.
"How… how… how is this possible?" Ahead, Celestial Wolf Star Guard Commander Xing Lou said with a trembling voice. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could hardly believe his own speech could tremble so badly.
He, and all the Star Guards present—the shortest lifespan among them was several thousand years. As Star Guards of the Star God Realm, their status and experience were extraordinary, but not one of them had ever felt such terrifying aura or such soul-tearing fear… And this was coming from a young man from a lower realm, someone they believed they could casually decide the life and death of!
"Divine Sovereign… Divine King to Divine Sovereign…" This voice came from Tiangang Star God, Shen Hu, and his words were clearly trembling as well.
"How… can such a thing exist in this world…" As Star Gods of the Star God Realm, they doubted their own spiritual senses for the first time. The most exaggerated, most extreme forbidden abilities they knew of were far inferior to what they were witnessing now, not even a ten-thousandth.
"Creation Divine Power… this is Creation Divine Power…" Xing Shendi's eyes trembled violently, and he murmured to himself. Without a doubt, this was power beyond the cognition and imagination of a God Emperor—the heaven-defying power that only the supreme Creation Divine Power of the legendary Age of Gods could possess!!
After shock and horror, what penetrated from the depths of Xing Shendi's pupils was a desire and greed a thousand times stronger than before. He suddenly turned his head and roared at Xing Mingzi: "Subdue him immediately… but absolutely do not harm his life!"
The voice Xing Shendi roared out carried a tremor and hoarseness that everyone could hear, and this time, he clearly shouted the word "absolutely."
In just a few breaths, Yun Che had skyrocketed his profound power from the first level of the Divine King Realm to the first level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, giving everyone earth-shattering shock. However, the first level of the Divine Sovereign Realm… in an ordinary star realm, it was a nearly invincible power, but this was the Star God Realm! Every Star Guard present had the strength of the Divine Sovereign Realm. Three thousand Star Guards in total—any one of them surpassed Yun Che in profound realm level.
Moreover, there was also Xing Mingzi, who was at the Divine Lord Realm!
Therefore, while they were shocked and terrified by Yun Che's perception-tearing, astonishing mutation, they never thought his mutation could pose any threat to them… This was the Star God Realm, and they were Star God Star Guards. Yun Che's strength might be unrivaled among the younger generation, but in their eyes, it was far too low. Even if he erupted with power that defied common sense, it was impossible for him to pose any threat to them.
As Xing Shendi's roar fell, before Xing Mingzi could respond, a strange howl like a desperate beast sounded above Star God City. The blood aura on Yun Che exploded, and he lunged violently at Xing Ling. The originally vermilion blade of the Heaven-Defying Sword became suffused with blood light, as if drenched in the thick blood of a hellish blood pool.
Brutality, bloodlust, pain, hatred, despair… every wisp of the incoming aura seemed to come from the abyss. And even though it was the profound aura of the first level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, the moment it approached, it brought the coldness and fear of death… Xing Ling's pupils contracted sharply. Under the shadow of death, his Divine Sovereign body, tempered through countless trials, reacted instinctively before his will, retreating backward as fast as he could.
Boom————
The Heaven-Defying Sword struck the ground, blood-colored profound aura spreading straight to the sky. The ground, enhanced by the highest-level profound formations in the world, trembled violently…
Before Xing Ling could even catch his breath, two blood-red pupils, more terrifying than demons, were already closing in again. He let out a strange cry, thrust both arms forward, crossed before his chest, and explosively unleashed the power of an eighth-level Divine Sovereign under fear.
Bang!!
First-level Divine Sovereign versus eighth-level Divine Sovereign—in anyone's understanding, this was an insurmountable chasm that could not be crossed by any means.
But…
"Waaaaaah!!"
A heart-rending scream pierced everyone's souls. The clash of power between a first-level Divine Sovereign and an eighth-level Divine Sovereign, yet it was Xing Ling who screamed in agony! Under the blood light erupting from the Heaven-Defying Sword, his right arm instantly shattered into several pieces, while his left arm shattered into dozens of pieces, and the next moment, it was ground into chunks of flesh scattering through the air.
"Ah!!"
"What… what!?"
"Xing Ling!!"
This scene shocked Xing Mingzi so much that his entire body jolted, and it terrified all the Star Guards, making their souls flee. They simply could not believe that Xing Ling, whose strength was among the top of all Star Guards and possessed the power of an eighth-level Divine Sovereign, would have both his arms destroyed in one sword strike by Yun Che, who had explosively unleashed the power of a first-level Divine Sovereign.
That was a Divine Sovereign body—tens of millions of times tougher than metal and stone, a true "divine body" in the cognition of the world!
"Ah… aah… aaaaah!!"
Xing Ling's pupils were about to shatter. He watched his own arms turn into flying chunks of flesh—a despair he had never imagined. But the demon that had destroyed his arms did not stay away. The Heaven-Defying Sword, now stained blood-red, fell mercilessly on his body.
Pfft!
A jet of blood shot up several zhang high, mixed with countless shattered internal organs. Xing Ling's chest exploded, and his sternum was almost completely crushed… Xing Ling let out a roar of extreme pain and despair. He wanted to struggle, but his arms were gone. He wanted to flee, to escape at all costs, but what awaited him was even deeper despair.
"You… bas…tard… who… be…trayed… and… hurt… Mo Li…"
Yun Che, within the blood light, made sounds more terrifying and hoarse than a demon, every word as if from an abyss of eternal despair…
"Die!!"
Bang!!
A punch smashed through Xing Ling's body, punching straight through it… Perhaps Xing Ling never imagined, nor did anyone, that his Divine Sovereign body could be so fragile.
"Ah… aaaaah…" Xing Ling's scream turned silent, blood spurting like crazy from his seven orifices.
"Die!!!"
Bang!!
A punch landed, snapping Xing Ling's neck.
"Die!!!!!"
Bang!!!!
This punch struck Xing Ling's head heavily, instantly shattering his skull. Blood and flesh flew everywhere… his entire head exploded above his neck, leaving not even a fingernail-sized piece of bone under that fist shrouded in blood light.
Xing Ling's body convulsed violently a few times, then fell still.
Xing Ling—a Star Guard Commander who could make the Realm Kings of middle and lower star realms cower and pay respect—died like that, with almost no ability to resist.
A violent death, his body dismembered.
In the few seconds before his death, he experienced the greatest pain, fear, and despair of his long life.
Star God City fell into a deathly silence. The air was thick with a dense smell of blood. Every Star Guard's eyeballs bulged as if they were about to explode. A Star Guard, even a Star Guard Commander, had died horribly before their eyes. They should have been furious… but at this moment, they felt no anger, because boundless shock and fear, multiplied several times, filled every corner of their bodies and souls.
"How… how could this be…"
"He… Yun Che… he…"
"Ac…tually…" The face of Tianyuan Star God Tu Mi, which in the eyes of the world seemed eternally peaceful, was now completely twisted.
Not only the Star Guards, but all the Star Gods and elders were also speechless. They had not yet calmed down from the shock of Yun Che's profound power eruption defying cognition when they were again shocked to the point of their livers and gallbladders splitting.
They knew Xing Ling's strength very well. Even if Yun Che erupted with power that defied reason, he should not have been a match for him… but they watched with their own eyes as Yun Che brutally killed Xing Ling.
And it was a slaughter! A first-level Divine Sovereign slaughtering an eighth-level Divine Sovereign!!
"Brother-in-law… he… he…" Cai Zhi's face lost color, her hands tightly gripping Mo Li's. She found Mo Li's palm was so cold. Despite this astonishing scene, Mo Li's eyes were dazed, extremely unfocused…
In everyone's trembling gaze, Yun Che slowly stood up. As he raised the Heaven-Defying Sword, Golden Crow Flame and Phoenix Flame merged on his body, turning into a cruel and ruthless crimson flame.
"You… all… de…serve… to… die!!"
He seemed to be roaring, seemed to be moaning, but every word was the most terrifying sound anyone had ever heard. With blood-colored profound aura and blood-colored flames, like a frenzied crimson blood demon, he charged alone toward the three thousand Star Guards, every one of them trembling.
"Attack together… cripple his limbs!!"
Xing Mingzi woke up as if from a dream and shouted loudly.
If it were ten breaths ago, Xing Mingzi would never have allowed two Star Guards to attack Yun Che at the same time, because that would be a self-humiliation of the Star Guards' strength, status, and dignity. But now, the words "attack together" roared out, and he did not forget Xing Shendi's order—only cripple, do not kill!
As Xing Mingzi gave the order, the three Star Guards closest to Yun Che leaped into the air. Star God spears, identical in appearance, appeared in their hands, and the silver armor on their bodies shimmered with starlight.
Three Star Guards, three Star God spears. Yun Che did not retreat half a step; he charged straight at them. With a strange cry that seemed both pained and hateful, the Heaven-Defying Sword, burning with crimson flame, carved a blood-colored arc of light…
Boom!!!
"Ughaaaah!!"
Three overlapping screams rang out. The three Star God spears flew sideways, and the arms holding them shattered simultaneously… In that instant, they finally understood why Xing Ling's powerful Divine Sovereign body had been so fragile under Yun Che's sword…
"DIE!!!!!"
No one could understand how much hatred was carried in that roar. As the Heaven-Defying Sword struck down, a huge wolf shadow flashed in the sky… It was the Celestial Wolf shadow familiar to all Star Guards, but not the blue shadow they knew. It was a terrifying blood-red, and even the bared fangs seemed soaked in a pool of blood.
Bang————
This was a "Primordial Fang" twisted by Yun Che's twisted power. The moment the blood-colored wolf shadow enveloped them, the armor and Divine Sovereign bodies of the three Star Guards were instantly torn apart. Before they could even let out a scream, they had turned into flying blood and shredded flesh.
