The previous two mace glows vanished into nothingness. Qin Qiong, bursting forth, held twin maces, his Qilin armor blazing with Qilin divine fire.
"Vile human creature!"
Seeing the enraged Celestial God of Lingxu Palace, Qin Qiong hesitated not. With a mace, he struck downwards. The Qilin divine fire transformed into a sea of flames, engulfing the Celestial God. The sea of fire flowed, and golden mace glows, like golden dragons, prowled within it.
"Damn it!"
The Celestial God of Lingxu Palace roared. He glanced around at the surrounding Qilin divine fire, then looked up. His right foot, like a divine pillar, blocked the descending mace glow.
Amidst the roaring sea of fire, the divine power of the two Celestial Gods collided fiercely in the void. Layers of spiritual energy storms whipped the entire sea of fire into a greater frenzy.
"A sturdy physique!"
Qin Qiong's expression was calm. Seeing that his mace strike had been blocked by a single foot, he raised the golden mace in his left hand. Under the triumphant gaze of the Celestial God of Lingxu Palace, it descended in a fury. The powerful golden mace directly struck the Celestial God's thigh.
"Ah..."
The leg!
A convergence of divine power was at the sole of his foot. This mace strike directly hit his thigh. The sound of violent bone shattering echoed clearly into both their ears.
"Die!"
Enduring immense pain, the Celestial God rose with both fists, striking with all his might. Twelve streams of divine fire blazed, continuously fueling the immense consumption of spiritual energy in his physical body.
"Boom!"
The Celestial God launched his fists, fiercely resisting the suppression of Qin Qiong's twin maces. However, each resistance was akin to slow suicide for him now. His entire arms vibrated under the impact of the violent divine power. Upon closer inspection, some muscles began to spasm. His arms were at their limit.
After struggling to resist for several rounds, Qin Qiong, sensing the Celestial God's discomfort, raised the mace in his hand and ferociously struck towards the Celestial God's right elbow.
"Ah!!"
With a single blow, the Celestial God, no longer able to resist, had his entire right arm explode. Drops of divine blood cascaded downwards!
"Celestial God!"
"Today is your day of death!"
Qin Qiong watched the Lingxu Palace Celestial God, who had lost an arm and was flying backward. He raised his twin maces in fury, and two golden divine glows were hurled forth, shaking the heavens and earth.
Gazing at the sky filled with surging Qilin divine fire, those two golden glows, shooting out from the sea of flames, were like harbingers of death, striking a sense of dread into the Celestial God's heart. A feeling of powerlessness and despair gripped him.
"Creatures of the Great Han... one day, my Lingxu Palace will surely annihilate you all!"
The mace glow, carrying the Qilin divine fire, struck downwards with fury. Golden divine light, spanning ten thousand miles from the other end of the sea of fire, powerfully descended towards the Lingxu Palace Celestial God.
"The Great Han Imperial Dynasty..."
High in the void, Qin Qiong, who had swung his twin maces, watched the terrifying, surging sea of fire. From the area where the two mace glows descended, the extreme unwillingness and rage of that Lingxu Palace Celestial God could be heard intermittently.
"Ah..."
Within Qin Qiong's line of sight, scattered specks of divine blood splashed out. Upon contact with the Qilin divine fire, the divine power contained within the divine blood was instantly refined, like peeling away layers of silk.
"Rumble!"
Qin Qiong shook his hands. The twin maces in his hands dissipated into nothingness. He waved his right hand towards the sea of fire, and the ten-thousand-zhang Qilin divine fire vanished directly. The void was empty!
His divine eyes scanned the capital city of the Ancient Lion Kingdom. Now that the three True Gods of the Ancient Lion Kingdom were dead, the main lineage of the Ancient Lion Kingdom still had to be dealt with. How could such a treacherous clan be allowed to remain!
"Kill!"
Qin Qiong strode directly into the core region of the Ancient Lion Kingdom. He made no move against the beings within the city. Every wrong has its cause, and every debt has its owner. By destroying the core lineage of the Ancient Lion Kingdom, the Ancient Lion Kingdom would be pacified, and there would be no need to spill more innocent blood.
...
"A mere secret technique, and you dare to use Celestial God divine power before me? Do you truly think you are a Celestial God!"
Accompanied by an arrogant voice, Yuchi Gong's strike exploded in the void, shrouded in smoke and mist.
After shattering Yuchi Gong's attack, the Wudian Celestial God did not stop. He launched a punch, like a crack of lightning, and with extreme speed, surged towards Yuchi Gong.
He punched towards Yuchi Gong!
"What!"
"Even though I am ranked among the True Gods, I can still ascend and slay your Celestial God beings!"
"He is like this!"
Yuchi Gong responded coolly, not placing the Wudian Celestial God in his eyes at all. He pointed a finger at the Celestial God of Lingxu Palace, whose physical body was shattered.
"You are like this too!"
Yuchi Gong's steel whip in his hand showed no sign of evading the Wudian Celestial God's attack. He directly struck downwards with fury.
"Boom!"
The immense impact shook the heavens and earth relentlessly. A violent spiritual energy storm swept in all directions, raising a lightning storm for several miles.
"Audacious!"
Seeing his punch shattered, the Wudian Celestial God became serious. That was his full-power strike, yet it could not move this Great Han Dynasty being an inch.
Recalling his fellow disciples who had perished at the hands of the Great Han Dynasty, he knew they had not died in vain. If he had arrived any later, even the Celestial God of Lingxu Palace would have likely perished.
"My An Yuan Heavenly Dynasty's Celestial Gods cannot die in vain!"
"I must take your life as atonement!"
Said the Wudian Celestial God.
He extended a hand, and a giant broadsword condensed into form. The moment it appeared, spiritual energy surged with intense density. It was likely that he had not made a move for a long time, keeping it stored within his physical body. The sharpness contained within this broadsword had reached its peak.
Merely the sword light flashing between its edges was incredibly sharp and terrifying.
"Behold my sword!"
The Wudian Celestial God wielded the broadsword, overwhelmingly powerful. His moves were broad and grand, each sword strike like rampaging thunder, incredibly mighty and peerless.
Yuchi Gong smiled slightly. Both were Celestial Gods, but why did this one possess such arrogance? Was the plight of the Lingxu Palace Celestial God before him not enough to deter him?
Thus!
Then let them all stay here!
The divine fire in Yuchi Gong's eyes ignited with a crimson-gold hue. He gripped the bamboo-jointed steel whip with both hands. He struck out with his left hand, causing the rampant spiritual energy storm that ravaged the void to abruptly halt. Facing the broad, grand, and incredibly powerful sword attacks, he directly swung his left whip, striking the broadsword.
"Boom~~"
The broadsword and the steel whip, though different, both followed the path of brute force. Their power was immense.
The steel whip, launched from his left hand, directly struck the Wudian Celestial God's broadsword. To the Wudian Celestial God's shocked gaze, the steel whip directly shaved off a layer of the broadsword's material, and specks of precious treasure vanished into the void.
Concurrently, he was jolted by the recoil from the broadsword, causing his arms to go numb. Blood splattered, and some veins burst through the flesh, writhing crimsonly.
"Swish!"
To the Wudian Celestial God's shock, the steel whip in Yuchi Gong's right hand whipped out and landed directly on the hilt of the broadsword.
