Godslayer

"7%! I've lost 7% of my divine body! This is impossible!" Sha'er's scattered divine body rejoined, and he stood in the void, roaring in terror.

He had been somewhat rushed when he blocked that attack, but he had still used nearly all his strength. If one slash could erase 7% of his divine body under those circumstances, then if he failed to block it and took a direct hit, wouldn't one slash nearly kill him? Could someone at Domain Level really do that?

With that one strike, Li Dui had more or less gauged his opponent's strength.

He was at the very bottom among Immortals, barely at the edge of the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge. There were Immortals even weaker than him, but they were truly rare.

"Go to hell." Li Dui couldn't be bothered to waste any more words. He kept attacking from a distance. No matter how weak this guy was, he was still an Immortal. Who knew if he had some desperate measure up his sleeve? Li Dui was a fragile little thing, so it was best to keep his distance. He could take his time killing him.

Sha'er didn't dare take another hit. He dodged with fearful caution while frantically sending messages to his master. What kind of Domain Level demon was this? There was no such thing as a Domain Level expert like this! He had to be a supreme powerhouse using some kind of concealment technique, merely making himself look like he was at Domain Level.

Sha'er did his best to flee toward his master's temple, but it was a long way away. By the time his master received the message and rushed over, Sha'er would likely have turned to ashes.

He had only recently become an Immortal God, and now he had run into an enemy like this. How could he not feel bitter? That bitterness made his dodging movements exceptionally smooth. He had successfully evaded dozens of attacks in a row without suffering so much as a scratch.

As for why this supreme powerhouse was clearly a martial artist yet kept attacking from a distance, Sha'er instinctively assumed his opponent was probably toying with him, having fun.

He had no objection to his opponent thinking that way. Go ahead and play. Don't stop—keep playing. Maybe he could hold out until his master arrived.

Li Dui had no idea what this Immortal was imagining. He was still carefully guarding against a sudden counterattack.

One streak of blade light after another slashed from afar as he watched the Light Immortal dart around in every direction.

There was nothing he could do about it. That was how it was for martial artists. Close combat allowed for all kinds of unpredictable changes, but once a ranged attack was launched, there was no controlling it. If he were a Mental Master Controller, this Immortal would have been skewered by now.

If he couldn't land a hit, then he would try something else. Li Dui began using the Flash movement technique he had often relied on before, constantly changing his position as he attacked.

After comprehending Teleportation, the Flash movement technique had become even more mysterious. Each shift carried an elusive quality. It was fundamentally different from Teleportation, but with each flash he could appear somewhere else. Perhaps Flash was a more suitable name for it now.

Sha'er was suddenly under much greater pressure. Dodging alone could no longer ensure that he would avoid every hit. He had no choice but to use a secret technique, skillfully redirecting the force of the attacks to keep himself going.

Unfortunately, redirecting the force was no easy task. The attacks Li Dui unleashed had the power of someone at the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge: a high-ranking Army Leader, nearly at the peak. Sha'er, on the other hand, wasn't even at the eleventh level. If he took too much of the shock, even by accident, part of his divine body would be forcibly annihilated.

Time passed. No matter how angrily Sha'er roared or begged, Li Dui couldn't be bothered to reply. He simply kept flashing into position and attacking.

Immortals really were hard to kill. This was only an Ordinary Immortal without an immortal body, with a low level of law comprehension and poor secret techniques. Li Dui had hacked at him relentlessly for nearly an hour before Sha'er's aura became noticeably weaker.

Sha'er was desperate. That much time wasn't even enough for his master to receive the message. Yet he had already lost 22% of his divine body, and his strength had fallen considerably. If this continued, things would only get worse.

"You bastard—you made me do this!" Sha'er gritted his teeth. His left forearm snapped off below the wrist on its own. The severed limb radiated a terrifying, explosive aura as it shot toward Li Dui.

He was sacrificing part of his divine body, hoping to use a small-scale self-detonation to fight me to the death? Li Dui wasn't bothered.

If he didn't sacrifice his divine body, I'd still have to figure out how to hit him. Now he'd just tossed away nearly 10%. Let's see how many times he can do that.

Besides, did he think I'd be afraid just because he detonated part of his divine body? It was only an arm. Was that supposed to stand up to me?

"Hah!" Li Dui let out a sharp breath and swung his blade in a furious slash. This time, he held nothing back. He unleashed all his comprehension of space at the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Aside from his combined comprehension of the Earth-Space Law, this was the strongest slash Li Dui could deliver. With Number 2's physical strength, which was on par with a Domain Lord's, it could go toe-to-toe with a Peak Army Leader Immortal.

The blade light stretched out like a vast, unending curtain, sweeping toward Sha'er.

Sha'er had sacrificed his divine body because he hoped the explosion would frighten Li Dui and give him a chance to escape.

When he saw Li Dui meet the attack head-on, Sha'er was overjoyed. He went all out and unleashed his strongest move. One enormous ghostly claw after another appeared in the sky, forming a chain as they attacked Li Dui.

Without even looking to see how his attack had fared, he turned and fled as fast as he could.

The blade light collided with the severed arm, unleashing terrifying power in an instant. Space shuddered.

Li Dui's figure vanished without a trace, then silently appeared behind and to the side of Sha'er, bringing his blade down.

The explosion had overwhelmed Sha'er's senses. He couldn't detect what was happening behind him. By the time the attack was upon him, there was no time to react. The blade light annihilated him outright.

Li Dui looked exactly as though he'd expected this.

An Immortal God who lost 30% of his divine body was left with only half his strength. Their strength had been worlds apart, and Sha'er had taken the attack completely unprepared. There was no way the Light Immortal could have survived.

Li Dui reached out, collected the spoils, and sensed Number One's location. With a thought, he appeared beside him.

He sent Number One to the World Ring to sort through the spoils, while Number 2 teleported again and again throughout Xueluo World.

After many attempts, Li Dui figured out how it worked. If he spread his senses outward in a sphere with himself at the center, the range he could sense wasn't very large. It was only about 1% of the maximum distance he could sense in a single direction.

That meant 1% of a light-year. That range was more than enough for ordinary combat and escape.

For long-distance travel, a King Rank Immortal's Teleportation was merely decent.

He could teleport one light-year at a time. If he teleported once per second without stopping for an entire day, he could cover only a little over eighty thousand light-years. That was just what a spaceship traveling at more than three times the speed of light in the Dark Universe could cover in a day.

Li Dui did the math. To match a spaceship traveling at fifty times the speed of light, he would need to teleport nearly sixteen times per second.

The result left Li Dui embarrassed. A King-level Immortal could teleport more than a dozen times per second, even dozens of times, without any problem.

He certainly couldn't do that. At most, he could teleport three or four times per second. There was nothing he could do; his body couldn't keep up.

In other words, even if Li Dui traveled by teleporting at his maximum rate, he would be only slightly faster than his E9-Grade Spaceship. It really wasn't worth the effort.
