Dragon-Slaying Axe
Within Boti's Exclusive Domain, of the 321 tombs, except for the three demigod tombs which were empty, the Demigod Realm experts buried within the rest of the tombs began to emerge from the ground. Some of those who had already been blasted out by Gu Ding skipped the process of crawling out of the ground and simply got up, scanned the area, and then locked their attention on Gu Ding and his group.
Although there was still no movement from the largest divine tomb, it made little difference to Gu Ding and his group who were trapped in the domain.
Sea Emperor had anticipated Boti's domain attack pattern, and he had even told Gu Ding how to break the domain. However, Gu Ding's strength was simply insufficient to do so.
Gu Ding, Bigge, and Elsa formed a pincer movement, protecting Liliath and Tagore in the middle.
Several demigod corpse puppets pounced at the first moment. Bigge swung his longsword, and a black crescent Blade Force shot out, instantly slicing three demigod corpse puppets in half at the waist, turning them into energy fragments.
Bigge couldn't kill Boti with his Blade Force strike for two reasons. First, Boti was only one step away from becoming a god; she was just one divine position away from being a true deity. Given the right opportunity, she could instantly condense that divine position and become a god. Second, Boti herself was a five-star prodigy, possessing hundreds of times more energy reserves than an ordinary demigod, making her far from easy to kill. Most of the demigods buried here were merely ordinary demigods, capable of dealing with those below demigod strength, but against Bigge, they were simply doomed.
While Bigge was fine, Elsa and Gu Ding were not so relaxed.
Elsa's body surged with red energy, her hand gripping a giant axe almost as tall as herself. The axe's material was unknown, yet it could inflict damage on demigods. However, she was only Eleventh Order genetic entity. Even with this Combat Strength boost, while she could defeat a peak thirteenth-tier genetic entity, killing a demigod was indeed difficult for her.
Two demigods pounced on her immediately, and she could only swing her giant axe, barely managing to parry and block.
After killing his three opponents, Bigge immediately noticed Elsa's situation and continued to wield his sword, helping Elsa kill the two demigods.
On Gu Ding's side, he unleashed all his abilities except for Absolute Seal, boosting his Combat Strength to over a hundred billion points. With the damage stacking, his peak Combat Strength even reached over 500 billion points. The two demigods who rushed towards Gu Ding were also newcomers to the Demigod Realm, with Combat Strength of less than two hundred billion points each.
However, even with his considerable Combat Strength, Gu Ding couldn't harm any demigod with his bare hands. Therefore, Gu Ding used the axe he had previously purchased from the Titan Star, the one that had slain a dragon. Since Sea Emperor's unlocking abilities weren't sufficient to break the axe's seal, Gu Ding had no choice but to use it as is, unsure if it would have any effect.
As a powerful melee fighter, one essential quality is the ability to easily master other weapons. The axe is no exception for Gu Ding.
Gu Ding gripped his axe and charged forward, unleashing a masterful strike. The seemingly unremarkable, rusty axe sliced through a demigod's neck as easily as cutting tofu. The demigod's head flew off instantly, and his body shattered into pieces.
Strangely, all those fragments were absorbed by the axe.
Gu Ding twisted his body again, and the axe easily sliced through the waist and abdomen of the second demigod. The demigod's body collapsed instantly and was completely absorbed by the axe.
Gu Ding looked at the axe in his hand with some disbelief, "This thing is so useful, and it can even absorb energy fragments."
But he had barely uttered a sigh when the second wave of attacks began, with another group of demigods rushing in.
With this axe in hand, three demigods were instantly killed by Gu Ding. The axe seemed to grow stronger as it absorbed energy; with just one Gu Ding, a golden blade flashed through the void, and the three demigods were instantly cut in half at the waist. His killing speed was now comparable to Bigge's.
Elsa, on the other side, undoubtedly had a lot of pressure relieved.
Elsa only needs to provide slight obstruction to prevent the opponent from getting close to Liliath. Bigge and Gu Ding will then strike and kill the opponent immediately.
After several waves of attacks, Gu Ding realized that with this axe, his own Combat Strength was no longer important, because the axe's power kept increasing.
Gu Ding even used this axe to kill a being ranked eighty-seventh on the "Demigod Prodigy" Ranking List.
It's important to understand that those on the Demigod Prodigy Ranking are essentially beyond the realm of ordinary people. Eighty-seventh might not seem like a high ranking, but among the many demigods in the Universe Sea, those who rank in the top one hundred are naturally incredibly powerful. And only those ranked in the top ten of the Demigod Prodigy Ranking could possibly instantly kill someone ranked eighty-seventh. But if Gu Ding hadn't possessed that axe, with his Combat Strength, he probably wouldn't have even been able to break through the opponent's defenses.
In less than ten minutes, Gu Ding and Bigge had eliminated over a hundred of the more than three hundred corpse puppets. Bigge, having been greatly exhausted from his previous battle with Boti, was slightly out of breath. Gu Ding, however, guided by his axe, fought with increasing ferocity.
By this time, Boti had arrived at the Child Family's mansion and, with Ross's arrangement, stayed there temporarily. Ross led her to a guest room before leaving.
Upon entering the guest room, Boti immediately began checking the situation within her domain. As she had anticipated, Gu Ding and his companions couldn't possibly withstand the relentless attacks of over three hundred corpse puppets. She had already witnessed Gu Ding's strength during his battle with Ross; he was utterly incapable of affecting demigod-level corpse puppets. Elsa, who hadn't participated in her battle with her, was clearly also lacking in strength. Add to that Liliath, who was essentially useless, and the heavily injured Tagore. She acknowledged that Bigge's individual strength was indeed formidable, but he had expended a great deal of energy in his battle with her, and with so many burdens hindering him, he certainly couldn't hold out for long.
However, upon entering her own domain, she immediately sensed that her number of corpse puppets had decreased by more than 120, which stunned her. "How could this be? How is this possible?"
"What's impossible? Since you've imprisoned us in your domain, you should be prepared for us to wreak havoc on it." Gu Ding carried a hint of sarcasm. "Besides, I'm also curious to see what will happen after we've slaughtered all the corpse puppets here."
Boti took a deep breath and looked at Gu Ding. "You really shouldn't have provoked me. Now that things have come to this, I'll show you the true terror of this field..." (To be continued.)
