The Gap Between Levels

"Boom—!"

Amidst a deafening roar, a violent bolt of lightning, centered on a dark shadow that crashed heavily to the ground, spread outwards in all directions.

Wherever the violent lightning passed, the ground was shattered like fragile tofu, sending up chunks of rock that seemed to be under artillery fire, hurtling towards the surrounding area.

At the same time, a terrifying shockwave also spread out.

In that moment, Fang Li's figure retreated rapidly, like a small boat struggling to survive in a stormy sea, desperately dodging the Explosive Wind.

While dodging, Fang Li kept his pair of Ice-Blue Demon Eyes fixed on the incoming bolts of violent lightning.

The next second, a series of violent bolts of lightning, weaving through the Explosive Wind, struck one after another, heading towards Fang Li's direction.

By relying on his ability to detect the Death Lines of lightning, Fang Li managed to barely discern the trajectories of the incoming bolts. His body moved like a spider, constantly leaping back and forth to dodge the direct strikes of lightning.

Unfortunately, even though Fang Li managed to discern the trajectory of the lightning strikes by using his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception of Death Perception to detect the Death Lines, he still couldn't avoid all the electric shocks.

Faced with the unavoidable electric shocks, Fang Li exerted all his strength, swinging the Moon Blade in his hand at an extreme speed, slicing towards the bolts of lightning.

When forced into a corner, Fang Li's movements became even more refined, and his attacks even began to incorporate a hint of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique's Flash Sheath technique. With each swing, his speed accelerated to the limit, cutting towards the incoming electric shock with an unconventional trajectory.

"Bang bang bang bang bang—!"

Instantly, one after another, the electric shocks were Death Lines Fang Li, leading to their end, like blooming fireworks suddenly exploding, filling the air with electric arcs.

In the end, Fang Li managed to dodge all the lightning attacks and avoid the Explosive Wind.

However, at this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the center of the Explosive Wind and lightning.

Fang Li only felt a blur before his eyes, Vajra Variant, with its entire body in a jet-black color, appeared in front of him, raising a jet-black claw high.

"Bang—!"

The jet-black claws swung down heavily, carrying an intense electric shock, and once again shattered the ground.

This time, although Fang Li avoided the direct hit from the claws, he could not avoid the impact of the explosion. He was directly swept in and, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground.

With a loud "bang," Fang Li landed on his back and rolled away like a gourd.

The impact caused pain throughout Fang Li's body, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"Roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar————!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Father pressed his advantage, as if intending to kill Fang Li, and once again leaped high into the air, pouncing fiercely down in the direction of Fang Li, who was rolling all the way across the ground.

This pursuit is absolutely deadly.

"Damn it!" Fang Li cursed under his breath, ignoring the excruciating pain all over his body, and reached out to grab the ground.

The fingernails dug deep into the soil and rocks, and under the intense friction, they quickly tore open, bleeding profusely.

However, by using this method, at the last moment, Fang Li successfully stopped his movement, suddenly flipped over, and rolled to the side.

The enormous black shadow arrived almost simultaneously, slamming a claw into the ground.

"Thump—!"

Instantly, the ground was shaken easily, cracking open in various places.

If that claw had actually landed on Fang Li, even with Fang Li VIT (durability) of nearly 20 points, he would have been instantly crushed into minced meat.

Having realized this, a ruthless glint flashed in Fang Li's eyes. He leaped up, flipped over, and instead of retreating, charged forward, rushing towards the direction of the Heavenly Father.

The Ice-Blue Demon Eyes turned to the pitch-black desolate god, causing Death Lines to converge in Fang Li's field of vision.

But the line that represents the core, the one at the deepest part of all the Death Lines, is above the head of the Father.

Given the agility the Heavenly Father just displayed, if Fang Li were to leap onto its head, he would surely be dodged before he could even attack, or even counterattack.

"In that case, I'll first cripple that claw of yours that likes to wave around!"

Fang Li dodged and suddenly darted in front of the Heavenly Father's claws that had just landed on the ground. He immediately slashed down with his Moon Blade at the thick claws.

However, the Father showed no sign of panic; his wicked face was once again etched with a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth.

"Puff----!"

Just as Fang Li was about to strike the Father's forepaw, a voice came from the Father's back.

Under such a sound, the skin on the Father's back was suddenly pierced by a pair of sharp weapons.

Those were a pair of jet-black wings, like blades made up of countless pieces of steel.

Dark wings emerged from the Father's body and bloomed on his back. Then, one of the wings suddenly flashed, slicing through the air like a cold blade, and slashed down.

That speed was faster than any attack the Father had ever displayed so far.

Even with Fang Li's extreme stat allocation and the amplification from skills and equipment, he still couldn't outrun that attack at this moment.

Therefore, the fatal slash landed heavily.

"Pfft—!"

Crimson blood gushed out, like exploding water droplets, splashing into the air.

Fang Li's abdomen was ripped open with a huge gash, and his body was sent flying like a ball, sliding a distance on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough...!"

Lying on the ground, Fang Li couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

As for his body, it was already completely stained red with blood, a truly pitiful sight.

Clutching his abdomen, Fang Li felt the blood draining from his body and clenched his teeth tightly.

"They tried to dodge at the last moment, but they still couldn't completely dodge it?"

The speed of that attack exceeded Fang Li's expectations.

Therefore, even though Fang Li reacted in time, he was still hit by the knife.

If Fang Li hadn't dodged at the last moment, he would probably have been cut in two.

"Is this the difference between ranks?"

Fang Li could only clutch his stomach, raise his head, and look ahead.

There, the Heavenly Father spread his pair of blade-like wings, looked at Fang Li of blood, and grinned again.

That look on his face was as if he were mocking a pathetic loser.

Immediately, the Heavenly Father slowly walked toward the direction of Fang Li.
