Initially, Meng Hen's arrogance was largely due to the disparity in cultivation.
Even as fellow Star Gods, his years of cultivation had long propelled him to the third tier.
Compared to Ye Yun, who had just ascended to the first tier, he should have had complete dominance. Yet, the speed and strength displayed by the latter showed no trace of a first-tier Star God.
To an unaware observer, one might even mistake him for a terrifying existence beyond the seventh tier!
Furthermore, that golden sword was also outrageously powerful, surpassing even Blood Tomb, an artifact of attack, by more than a notch!
How could such a powerful magical artifact be nurtured in a world where Star Gods had only just been born? This defied reason!
"I refuse to believe you are truly that formidable!"
At this juncture, there was no turning back for Meng Hen.
He would either kill Ye Yun and seize this great world, or be killed by him, his path ending in annihilation!
Or, he could flee with his tail between his legs, but the latter two options were clearly not for him to choose!
With his mind made up, Meng Hen fully mobilized his divine power, his eyes blazing with crimson light, and let out a fierce roar.
"Blood God Domain!"
With a command, crimson light rapidly expanded in the void, forming a colossal domain spanning thousands of kilometers.
Within this space, blood-red streams of light surged everywhere, accompanied by a potent stench of blood, as if the flowing substance were actual blood!
Meng Hen's own body began to ooze blood as if decaying, transforming in an instant into a grotesque, blood-red monster!
The gods of the Great Luo Domain were re-invigorated upon witnessing this.
"Blood Demon Transformation, the Star God has finally gotten serious!"
With his domain fully unleashed, transforming into a Blood Demon, coupled with the elevation of Blood Tomb, this was undeniably the peak state of their Star God as they understood it.
An extremely chilling aura emanated, and Blood Tomb also pulsed with light, manifesting as streaks of red blood dragons coiling around him in the void.
At this moment, he was the emperor of this world, the master of all!
Meng Hen, transformed into a monster, fixed his blood-red eyes on Ye Yun, his voice also contorted.
"Tens of thousands of years, you are the first to make this god go all out! You can die without regret!"
As he spoke, his twisted, bloody palm slammed onto Blood Tomb before him.
Simultaneously, the blood dragons poised around them erupted, pouncing towards Ye Yun like ten thousand dragons paying homage!
After flying a short distance, the individual blood dragons dissipated and converged into one, all flowing into a single entity.
The leading blood dragon's aura visibly intensified at an alarming rate!
"Break for me!"
Meng Hen was confident that even if Ye Yun brought out the Star Shield to defend again, with the augmentation of his Blood Tomb, he could easily shatter it!
However, Ye Yun had no intention of using the Star Shield to counter the attack.
As the blood dragon approached, Ye Yun merely raised an eyebrow, and two distinct and powerful auras erupted from his body.
True Flame God Domain!
Sword God Domain!
This time, it came too swiftly; Ye Yun didn't even bother to shout out the names.
Although, according to the rules of the world, only by calling out a technique could its full power be unleashed.
Yet, at this moment, there was no need to concern oneself with that slight, incremental loss of power!
What the observers witnessed was Ye Yun, mere moments from the blood dragon, instantly unleashing two distinct divine powers!
One blazed like fire! The other was like an invisible blade!
The two forces, superimposed upon each other, intertwined and fused, as if they were meant to be a single entity from the very beginning.
This dual God Domain directly tore Meng Hen's Blood God Domain to shreds!
"What?!"
These two words echoed in Meng Hen's mind.
He keenly sensed that Ye Yun had clearly unleashed two different divine powers and two different God Domains!
A Dual God Domain? This was an impossibility in his eyes!
Not to mention, the opponent seemed to have honed them to an almost perverted degree!
However, Ye Yun paid no mind to his inner shock. At this moment, he had only one thought, which was...
"Sword Cuts the Heavens, Destroy!"
Ye Yun's long sword flashed with golden light. Facing the increasingly close blood dragon and the cloying scent of blood that assailed his senses,
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and swung forth a radiance that erupted like a falling star.
This sword strike was entwined with the relentless True Flame Divine Fire. Anything that existed in the world could be burned to ashes by it!
Even stars and time itself were fragile before it!
In the face of the massive blade of flames, that terrifying blood dragon appeared as fragile as a mere worm.
With a crack, the sword's edge descended, and the blood dragon was bisected, its entire form disintegrating under the scorching of the True Flame Divine Fire!
By now, Meng Hen could no longer remain calm.
"This is impossible!"
Until the surging divine power was almost striking his face,
Meng Hen belatedly realized a terrifying truth.
Looking at Ye Yun, enveloped in flames, his body trembled.
"You are not a first-tier Star God?"
"Did anyone tell you I was a first-tier Star God?"
Ye Yun smiled, no longer concealing his full divine power, and said teasingly.
"Of course, not too high either. A mere seventh-tier Star God, should not disappoint you too much, right?"
"You..."
Meng Hen's heart constricted violently.
A seventh-tier Star God?
What did that even mean? Even setting aside any artifact augmentations,
A seventh-tier Star God could easily overwhelm three of him!
Only upon reaching the Star God realm would one truly understand the vast chasm between these tiers!
Unless one possessed a super-powerful artifact of the third tier or higher, no matter how skilled, one couldn't hope to fight across even a single small realm within the Star God domain!
"..."
Meng Hen instantly understood that he was utterly finished this time!
Although he had no idea how the Heavenly Domain, a sub-world without Star Gods, had suddenly become a powerful world with a seventh-tier Star God.
Yet, at this moment, there were clearly more important matters than curiosity, and that was his life...
"I admit defeat this time. I will find you again in the future!"
After issuing this harsh threat, Meng Hen did not hesitate and chose to flee...
As for his means of escape, he used the ability of Blood Tomb, transforming himself into a mist of blood and vanishing from everyone's sight.
"Ye Yun, he..."
Xing Wu frowned, about to remind Ye Yun of the necessity of eliminating all threats.
However, before she could speak, Ye Yun waved his hand with a smile.
"Don't worry, he won't escape..."
In Ye Yun's eyes, besides himself, he would never allow anyone to boast before him and then escape scot-free!
