Under the watchful eyes of a group of deities, a battle to slaughter a god officially began.
Above the Petrified Forest.
One side—the Thorn God Master—struck first.
"Hiss~"
It let out an angry roar.
With Black Cloud as the center, terrifying Divine Power fluctuations swept across an area five hundred kilometers in radius.
At the same time.
Huge visible ripples spread outward from Black Cloud.
Streams of Black Qi poured from Black Cloud, condensing into countless black lines that fell toward the Petrified Forest like a torrential downpour.
In an instant.
Countless black lines crossed hundreds of kilometers and descended into the forest.
Each black line that struck the ground exploded with a boom, turning into a patch of Black Cloud that swallowed a large swath of petrified trees.
Viewed from the sky.
Countless patches of Black Cloud bloomed across the ground, devouring nearly twenty percent of the forest.
It was an extraordinarily spectacular sight.
On the surface, the Thorn God Master only needed to attack once more to easily destroy the entire Petrified Forest and win the battle.
However.
That was not the case.
In the Firmament.
The God General Wu Jing sent by the Myriad Heavens Race to observe the battle witnessed the scene of Black Cloud blanketing the ground and could not help shaking his head repeatedly.
It snorted and commented, "What a fool with nothing but brute strength. It has no idea how to use its brain!"
On a distant mountain.
Two Mountain Gods used their exceptional eyesight to watch Black Cloud press down upon the earth from afar.
They shook their heads together and began discussing it.
"The other side is clearly baiting the Thorn God Master into attacking."
"Indeed. That was far too unwise."
At the edge of the Petrified Forest.
The Giant Spirit
