Figures darted out, each unleashing their full power, displaying their strongest abilities.
The ranks parted, surrounding the colossal minotaur from all sides, as everyone deployed their most potent crowd-control skills.
Notably, the three God-level powerhouses charged to the forefront.
"Xuan Kong Lock!"
"Black Cage!"
"Seven Directional Sky Locking Array!"
…
As Star Gods and God-level powerhouses, they all possessed their ultimate trump cards.
Now, these abilities rained down like a barrage towards the minotaur.
Durable chains wrapped around its limbs, coiling and tightening, preventing it from taking even a single step.
Within the array on the ground, golden chains of light surged forth, transforming into thorny tendrils that ensnared its entire body!
Massive black pillars condensed from the sky, smashing down like meteors, trapping the minotaur's immense form within them!
"Divine Lock!"
At this moment, Qian Ling also brought out a second-tier artifact, one of her trump cards for this expedition.
She herself hadn't expected to use it in such a situation.
From in front of Qian Ling, a slender golden chain suddenly transformed into countless streams of light, descending from the heavens to entangle the minotaur.
The primary effect of the Divine Lock was designed for God-level powerhouses, possessing special suppression attributes, thus yielding excellent results!
The other Star Gods were also not idle. Despite their limited power, they still assisted by deploying their respective binding techniques.
In a blink of an eye, the once majestic and imposing minotaur was fully adorned in a variety of restraints, an image that was somewhat embarrassing to behold.
The minotaur did not fail to struggle against these restraints. The muscles binding it contorted and strained, attempting to tear free.
Indeed, its strength was sufficient to support such an endeavor.
After struggling for only two to three seconds, the chains and divine restraints on its body began to crack at a visible rate, even being torn to shreds!
The speed of this was so great that Qian Kong, watching from afar, couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Just a few moments of delay, I don't believe you can pull off any tricks!"
He looked condescendingly in Ye Yun's direction.
At this point, Qian Ling was indeed struggling to hold on and quickly called out to Ye Yun, who was not far away.
"Quick, Dan! We can't hold it much longer!"
Simultaneously, a bloody aura emanated from the minotaur's massive body, indicating it had used its full strength to break free from the restraints!
Empowered by this force, the already fragile restraints were shattered layer by layer, and its body could now move with difficulty!
By this point, the faces of Qian Ling and the others were almost pallid from exhaustion.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun had poured all his divine power into the Far Heaven's Vow in his hand, and finally, he moved.
"Taste this power, capable of shattering stars!"
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes, and the Far Heaven's Vow in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light.
Immediately, he appeared above the minotaur's forehead. Beneath the creature's immense and astonished gaze, Ye Yun swung the golden and white cross in his hands, smashing it down fiercely!
In a sense, the Far Heaven's Vow also served as a melee weapon, capable of being used to bludgeon opponents to death.
As he brought down the strike, immense force was instantly unleashed upon the minotaur's head, emitting a resounding clang!
The sound was crisp and clear, certainly a good sign.
"Break!"
Under the impact of the golden cross, the minotaur's massive head snapped upwards, and its colossal body stumbled.
Ye Yun seized this opportunity to launch a follow-up attack!
At such close range, and with a speed that offered the minotaur no chance to react, flashing aurora shot out from the Far Heaven's Vow, directly piercing a spot on its head.
The emitted light passed through its body and struck the ground far away, raising a storm of dust and wind.
As the golden light faded, a bloody hole remained on its head.
At this moment, the minotaur stood there motionlessly, as if petrified.
Subsequently, cracks began to appear across its massive body, as if it were about to shatter.
Ye Yun descended, his Far Heaven's Vow striking the ground.
A true man never looks back at explosions…
With a boom, the minotaur's body exploded, disintegrating into a shower of golden fragments that scattered like myriad stars.
Only a golden treasure chest lay quietly on the ground…
"This fellow, a Star God… how is this possible?"
Qian Kong and the others from the Qian Yuan domain stared dumbfoundedly at the scene.
They were still reeling from Ye Yun's powerful attack.
That single blow was so incredibly potent that they had initially believed it to be a powerful attack unleashed by a God-level powerhouse above the twentieth rank!
Ye Yun was undoubtedly a Star God, but the artifact in his hand, was its power perhaps a little too monstrous?
Gradually, Qian Kong's expression grew grim.
"This fellow, I truly underestimated him…"
Meanwhile, Ye Yun rejoined Qian Ling and the others.
Qian Ling looked at Ye Yun in astonishment and asked, "Say, how did you know its weak point was there?"
Although Ye Yun's attack had been powerful, it wouldn't have been possible to instantly kill a monster equivalent to a twentieth-rank God-level being without hitting a vital spot.
Hearing this, Ye Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, that? I just guessed."
The weak point was, of course, discovered by his Heavenly Eye.
Naturally, the Heavenly Eye only indicated that the minotaur's face contained a core point for converting divine power.
Part of his attack was a gamble, and fortunately, he had gambled correctly!
"I don't believe you."
Qian Ling rolled her eyes at him, completely dismissive of his explanation.
However, since he didn't wish to divulge it, Qian Ling didn't press further and instead looked with delight at the golden treasure chest, stating expectantly.
"I wonder what this final reward will be…"
"It's simple, just open it and see."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, raising a finger. The massive treasure chest slowly opened.
Instantly, golden light erupted, as if a legendary treasure had been found.
This ostentatious display was far more magnificent than the rewards from before!
When everyone saw the contents of the golden treasure chest, despite being prepared, they couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.
"Wow, so many good things!"
