Space-Time Scepter Awakens

Du Kao, having undergone a second metamorphosis, possesses Combat Strength that is nearly at the Main God Level. If it weren't for the constraints of the rules of this plane, his Combat Strength would very likely have broken through to the God-rank.

Although Fogreitai was merely a manifestation of his will, fortunately, Moffitt's body was strong enough to allow him to unleash his Combat Strength to God-rank.

In terms of Combat Strength, the two are evenly matched.

In terms of combat skills, Du Kao possesses the memories and experience of Lord-level. While Fogreitai is a lord, he is limited by his Combat Strength and cannot execute many of his moves, making it difficult to determine who is superior between the two.

Both were well aware that neither could maintain their peak Combat Strength for very long, yet they couldn't predict how long their opponent could maintain it. The current situation had become one where whoever could maintain their peak Combat Strength the longest would be the ultimate winner. Both were worried that their own endurance wouldn't be as long as the other's, so they decided to decide the outcome with a single, decisive blow.

Du Kao's originally semi-transparent body became increasingly transparent, and the cyan longsword in his hand began to shimmer with purple mist as his aura intensified.

The flames that were originally red all over Fogreitai also began to turn into a blinding white, and the temperature of the entire void rose several times over.

"Without a trace!"

Du Kao's longsword suddenly slashed horizontally, and the purple blade vanished without a trace the instant it was swung—a truly bizarre scene.

"A God -God Skill!" Boyi, who was watching the battle from several star systems away, had his eyes light up when he saw this. He hadn't expected that Du Kao would forcefully use a God -God Skill with less than the Combat Strength of a God-level being in order to win this battle.

"Heavenly Fire Descent!"

Almost simultaneously, Fogreitai moved as well. He pointed one of his enormous palms towards the sky, and a burst of flame shot from his palm straight up into the heavens. In the next instant, countless white flames rained down like raindrops. His attack completely covered the entire void battlefield, leaving almost nothing untouched.

"This guy is using a God -God Skill too..." Boyi hadn't expected their battle to be this intense. In this final move, both of them were clearly holding nothing back. Forcing the use of Main God Level God Skill with Combat Strength not yet at the God-level would not only deplete all their energy but also place a tremendous burden on their bodies, making recovery difficult in the short term.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The booming sound was like a series of firecrackers, incessant and deafening; it was the sound of flames colliding with invisible blades.

The entire battlefield instantly turned into a turbulent ocean due to the attack from the two, and the two completely lost their strength, only able to let the energy waves impact their bodies.

In just a moment, both of their bodies were riddled with holes, teetering and struggling in the energy shockwave.

The continuous shockwaves not only impacted this void, but the entire plane began to crack due to the battle between the two.

A crack near the battlefield between the two was suddenly torn open by the shockwave, like paper being ripped apart, turning into a huge gap.

Just then, a strange energy suddenly surged from afar, and wherever it passed, all the spatial cracks began to rapidly repair themselves. Even the shockwaves created by the two were suppressed by that energy fluctuation.

"This is... the Space-Time Scepter... the spirit of the Space-Time Scepter has awakened..." Du Kao, supporting his swaying body, looked into the distance.

Almost simultaneously, the entire plane of space was once again completely sealed off. The space also stabilized completely, and Sea Emperor's detection energy finally returned to normal.

Seeing the change in the surveillance projection, Gu Ding quickly asked, "Sea Emperor, what happened? Has your detection ability returned?"

"It's recovered. Space-Time Scepter must have been stimulated by the powerful energy fluctuations and awakened itself. Now the entire plane's space and various force fields have all returned to normal operation," the Sea Emperor explained.

"Then we should be able to leave this plane now, right?" Having witnessed the power of the gods, Gu Ding knew very well that the longer he stayed in this plane, the more dangerous it would be, and leaving as soon as possible was the best course of action.

"We still can't leave. The Space-Time Scepter has sealed off the entire plane once again." The Sea Emperor's message plunged everyone's spirits into despair once more.

"What should we do now?" Liliath turned to Gu Ding and asked.

"Where is the Space-Time Scepter?!" Gu Ding didn't answer Liliath's question, but instead asked the Sea Emperor.

"In the Headquarters Star Region the Dees Family headquarters, not far from the Black Hell we left before."

"Sea Emperor, turn the spaceship around and head to the Dees Family Headquarters Star Region!" Gu Ding made the decision immediately.

"No, it's too dangerous! No matter what happens at the family headquarters, there's always at least one Celestial God left behind. Besides the Celestial Gods, there are more than ten Strongest Kings. We're no match for them at all." Hake immediately objected, feeling that his group would be committing suicide if they went over there.

"In fact, the three Celestials who remained behind have already been killed by Boyi," the Sea Emperor told Hake. "Many True God-level powerhouses were impacted by the energy of the Celestial battle, and less than one in ten can still fight. Moreover, the Federal Government and several other major powers are also heading towards that area. However, Gu Ding, your chances of successfully seizing the Space-Time Scepter are extremely slim. That thing itself is a peculiar Strange Treasure. Even when it was dormant, no one in the Dees Family could subdue it. Now that it has awakened, it is more than a hundred times stronger than when it was dormant. I'm afraid even the Fourth Elder at his peak would be somewhat wary of it."

"There's no other way but to try our luck. The longer we stay in this plane, the more dangerous it becomes for us. As long as the Space-Time Scepter remains in place, we can't leave. This problem must be solved!" Gu Ding knew that the root of the problem preventing them from leaving lay with the Space-Time Scepter. Only by controlling the Space-Time Scepter could the problem be fundamentally solved.

"Gu Ding is right. The battle at the level of gods has nothing to do with us, and the resource plundering by the Federal Government has nothing to do with us either. There is no need for us to continue to risk staying in this plane. Leaving this plane is the best decision. And the only way to leave this plane is to use the Space-Time Scepter to break the seal." Miko said, sharing her insights.

"But, according to the Sea Emperor, no one could subdue that thing while it was dormant, and now that it has awakened, it is even more terrifying. Liliath still felt it was too dangerous.

"Sister Lily, the Space-Time Scepter has never been subdued, yet the Dees Family has been able to use it to seal this plane, which means there must be other ways to use it. Therefore, to break the plane's seal, we don't necessarily have to subdue the Space-Time Scepter. Now that the Space-Time Scepter has awakened, it might not be a bad thing for us. It has self-awareness, which means it can communicate with humans, and we might be able to persuade it to break the seal." Miko's words enlightened everyone.

"It's settled then, Sea Emperor, turn!" Gu Ding immediately approved the decision. (To be continued~^~)
