Self-Destruction

Outside the Space-time Fortress, Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield.

After the Tongfeng Team was discovered by the Demon Race Sixth Royal Lineage Team and they prepared to launch a sneak attack, the screen before the metal platform where the Human Race Immortals sat enlarged the footage of the two teams' battle.

The gazes of numerous Immortals fell upon the Tongfeng Team. As the team currently ranked eleventh, their battle against the Demon Race team ranked second in points was quite significant.

On the battlefield, where the Sacred Mountain Battle had already been underway for nearly two months, a battle of this level had yet to occur.

When they saw the Tongfeng Team being ambushed by the Demon Race Sixth Royal Lineage Team, many Immortals frowned.

"That Shadow Rat from the Sixth Royal Lineage Team has a huge advantage at this stage of the Sacred Mountain Battle. It can let them ambush many teams." An Immortal Legion Commander, around 1.6 meters tall, extremely obese, with two antennae growing from his head and an aged face, spoke to the other Immortals beside him.

"Xizes, that Tongfeng Team belongs to your 5th Legion, right? What a pity for them this time!" The purple-haired Female Immortal Legion Commander beside him said wistfully to Xizes, who was frowning at the screen.

"What? The battle has only just begun, and you already think the Tongfeng Team will lose?" Although Xizes was not particularly optimistic about the Tongfeng Team either, they were his soldiers. How could he agree with such a view?

"I don't want to see a Human Race team lose either, but judging from their performances over the past two months, the Tongfeng Team is clearly much weaker than their opponents. Besides, they are short one member. Only that little fellow called Li Ze is fairly capable. He has comprehended two laws, so he should have a chance to escape." Seeing Xizes's reaction, the Purple-haired Female Immortal Legion Commander spoke helplessly.

As they talked, the Tongfeng Team had already evaded two sneak attacks from the Demon Race team and was fighting the opposing demons one by one.

"Good!"

When the many Immortals saw Li Ze suddenly erupt and behead the Tyrannosaurus Demon with a single sword strike, Xizes immediately shouted aloud.

"I didn't expect this Li Ze to be so capable! Not only has he comprehended the fire and space Origin Laws, his foundation is also exceptionally solid. His force output has reached around twenty units, and he has even mastered the third form of the Annihilation God Weapon. But even so, his combat strength shouldn't have reached this level!" The Purple-haired Female Immortal Legion Commander beside him exclaimed as she watched Li Ze erupt.

As Marquis-level Immortals, they could see many things from Li Ze's battle.

It was not only the Immortal Legion Commanders who were discussing the battle. The King-level Immortals seated in front were discussing it as well.

"It should be a talent. This Li Ze should possess another Burst Talent. Only then could he unleash combat strength at this level." A King-level Immortal dressed in Red Battle Armor and looking remarkably like an Earth Human stated with certainty.

"By all rights, even if such a Universe level little fellow were placed in my Virtual Universe Company, he could enter the Taichu Secret Realm. Why would he join the Outer Domain Battlefield? This is clearly a waste. Even if he missed the Genius Battle, he could still enter one of the Human Race's Five Great Giants in the future Universe level Strongman Battle." A King-level Immortal from the Virtual Universe Company said beside him.

"Perhaps he simply didn't want to wait that long. There are still five thousand years until the next Universe level Strongman Battle!" said the King-level Immortal who resembled an Earth Human.

"Right! If the Human Race wins this Sacred Mountain Battle and this little fellow enters the top thirty-one, then I'll take him as my disciple! The Origin Laws he has comprehended are fire and space, just like mine." The King-level Immortal resembling an Earth Human seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.

As a King Peak Immortal, he certainly could not recruit the most monstrous geniuses from past Genius Battles in Chaos City, while other geniuses were beneath the notice of someone like him. Therefore, after discovering Li Ze, this King-level Immortal began considering taking him as a disciple.

"Hahaha, Yu Chi, you're quick to make plans! You're already preparing to take a disciple!" The King-level Immortal from the Virtual Universe Company beside him laughed.

"Yes, but you should also see whether that little fellow Li Ze is willing to acknowledge you as his master. We may be one thing, but King Huilei is King-level Invincible. Becoming his disciple would be far better than becoming yours!" A Winged Human Race King-level Immortal on the other side, who had been listening to their conversation, also smiled at King Yuchi.

"No way. King Huilei shouldn't lack disciples, right? He's already King-level Invincible and is about to enter Chaos City for secluded cultivation. He probably won't compete with King Peaks like us for disciples."

King Yuchi glanced at King Huilei, who was watching the battle footage ahead. Seeing the faint smile at the corner of King Huilei's mouth, he felt somewhat uncertain, but still stubbornly said,

"The Sacred Mountain Battle isn't over yet. Let's first see how this little fellow performs next." The King-level Immortal from the Virtual Universe Company said to the two of them.

After saying that, everyone turned their attention back to the screen.

At the same time, discussion of this battle was also taking place where the Demon Race Immortals were watching.

"Where did this Human Race fellow come from? His strength is already catching up to the soldiers of our Royal Clan Teams!" A Red Giant Tiger King-level Immortal roared as he watched Li Ze slaughter the Demon Race Sixth Royal Lineage Team on the screen.

On the screen, after Zi Ci severed his tail and fled, Li Ze immediately set his sights on the Red Giant Tiger being held back by Shantuo. No further accidents occurred, and soon, the Red Giant Tiger's head was severed.

Seeing this junior member of his race killed, the Red Giant Tiger King-level Immortal instantly could not sit still and roared aloud. If looks could kill, the icy glare in his eyes would have slain Li Ze thousands of times already.

Buzz!

The other Demon Race Immortals had also gone from their joy before the battle began to grim expressions, and noisy discussions broke out.

For the first time, a trace of doubt and worry surfaced in the hearts of the Demon Race Immortals, who had been brimming with confidence in this Sacred Mountain Battle.

Inside the Space-time Fortress.

Seeing the rat demon flee and realizing his speed was nowhere near enough to catch up, Li Ze gave up on trying to keep him behind.

"Luan, Jirui Yu, go help the captain hold back their team captain. Mengqian, help Han Fu first. I'll deal with the other demons." Li Ze transmitted to the three who had already freed up their hands.

"Alright!"

"No problem!"

Hearing Li Ze's transmission, the three answered swiftly.

Even now, the three were still immersed in their shock over Li Ze's sudden eruption, but their movements did not stop. They immediately followed Li Ze's instructions and headed toward the other two battlefields.

Li Ze swept his gaze around and fixed it on the Red Giant Tiger fighting Shantuo. His figure flickered as he rushed toward the giant tiger.

"Red Tiger, be careful! That Human Race killing god is heading for you!" Though the Deer-shaped Demon being desperately held back by Lairui'er could not temporarily break free from the entanglement, he still had enough attention to observe the entire battlefield.

After seeing Li Ze kill four team members in succession and Zi Ci flee after severing his tail, he knew the battle was lost. Their Demon Race Sixth Royal Lineage Team existed in name only now.

When he saw Li Ze heading toward Red Tiger, he hurriedly warned him.

Then, seeing the other two team members going to assist the Human Race Tongfeng Team's captain, he knew he had to quickly find a way to escape. Otherwise, once that Human Race killing god finished killing the other Demon Race team members, his own time of death would come as well.

With that thought, the Deer-shaped Demon began cautiously responding to Lairui'er's attacks, constantly preparing to flee.

In less than a minute, Li Ze successively helped Shantuo, Lan Teng, and Lan Kun kill their opponents. After freeing up their hands, they saw that the Mantis Demon fighting Han Fu had been suppressed by Han Fu and Mengqian working together.

Seeing this, Li Ze, Shantuo, Lan Teng, and Lan Kun rushed toward the Mantis Demon, planning to deal with it before joining forces to kill the strongest Deer-shaped Demon.

The Mantis Demon, being jointly suppressed by Han Fu and Mengqian, saw Li Ze and the others rushing toward him and immediately understood the Human Race team's plan.

Knowing that he did not possess a life-saving technique like Zi Ci's and could not possibly escape the pursuit of so many people, he made a decision.

"Boss, I can't escape. In a moment, I'll self-destruct to draw their attention. Use the opportunity to escape, and remember to avenge me!" The Deer-shaped Demon suddenly heard the Mantis Demon's transmission in his mind.

Boom!

The instant the Deer-shaped Demon heard the transmission, before he could react, the Mantis Demon faced Li Ze and the others closing in. A vicious glint flashed in his eyes as he connected with the Origin Core within his body and erupted with all his Original Force. His body was directly swollen larger by the immense Original Force before exploding.

Unlike various secret techniques, which could only erupt a certain amount of Original Force at once, self-destruction detonated all of one's Original Force. The self-destruction of a ninth-rank Universe level soldier could even severely injure a Domain Lord in an instant.

The moment they saw the Mantis Demon's body expand, Li Ze and the others immediately guessed that he intended to self-destruct. Everyone rapidly retreated, while Han Fu instantly set up several Giant Metal Shields before himself and Mengqian for defense.

After the tremendous explosion, the explosive energy instantly surged toward the retreating group.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous explosions rang out from among them.

After the massive wave of energy passed, the surroundings gradually quieted. At the point of the explosion, all matter had been blasted into nothingness.

A Giant Pit hundreds of meters deep had been left in the ground, which was far tougher than metal.

After recovering, Li Ze sensed that his body had not suffered any injury. He looked at Shantuo, Lan Teng, Lan Kun, and the others not far away and saw that they had not been harmed either. However, Han Fu and Mengqian, who had been closest to the explosion, were both lying not far from the blast site.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they instantly flew over, only to find that the Giant Metal Shields before the two had long since vanished.

Whew!

After examining the two, everyone let out a long breath. They found that neither had died. They had merely suffered serious injuries and been knocked unconscious by the powerful energy wave. With the recovery speed of Universe level soldiers, they would soon recover.

"Shantuo, watch over them. Lan Teng, Lan Kun, and I will go kill that last Deer-shaped Demon." Li Ze looked at the two lying on the ground, a cold glint flashing through his eyes as he spoke to the others.

But just as they set off, Li Ze and the others stopped with helpless expressions.

There was no sign of the Deer-shaped Demon where Lairui'er and the others had been fighting. Only Lairui'er, Jirui Yu, and Luan remained there.

"That cunning fellow—we failed to keep him!" Lairui'er transmitted to them.

It turned out that after the Mantis Demon self-destructed, Lairui'er and the others had been stunned for a moment by the enormous blast when they saw the Deer-shaped Demon opposite them suddenly begin to grow larger as well.

The three thought the Deer-shaped Demon was going to self-destruct too, and hurriedly flew backward in fright. Unexpectedly, the Deer-shaped Demon had merely feinted. He instantly transformed into a streak of lightning and escaped through a gap in their encirclement.

That lightning streak was incredibly fast, shattering layers of space in an instant before vanishing directly over the horizon.

After hearing the reason, Li Ze and the others were speechless at the cunning of this Demon Race team captain.

They did not feel any regret over failing to wipe out the Demon Race Sixth Royal Lineage Team completely.

They immediately began cleaning up the battlefield and tending to the wounded.

While the Tongfeng Team cleaned up the battlefield, news of their victory over the Demon Race Sixth Royal Lineage Team had already spread throughout the entire Sacred Mountain Battle battlefield.

Li Ze's reputation as a killing god also spread among all the surviving Universe level soldiers of the Demon Race.
