Slaying Gods

"7%! My divine body lost 7%! Impossible!" Sha'er's split divine body recombined. He stood in the void, roaring in terror.

He had blocked somewhat hastily just now, but it was still nearly his full strength. Under those circumstances, a single slash annihilated 7% of his divine body. If he hadn't managed to block and had been hit directly, wouldn't one slash have nearly killed him? Was this something a Domain Level could do?

With one strike, Li Dui had roughly confirmed his opponent's strength.

The edge of Heavenly Bridge's eleventh floor, the bottom-tier level among Immortal Gods. Weaker Immortals than this existed, but they were truly rare.

"Die for me." Li Dui couldn't be bothered to waste more words, continuing to strike from afar. No matter how weak the guy was, he was still an Immortal God—who knew if he had some desperate trick? A fragile little thing like Li Dui was better off keeping his distance. At worst, he'd just kill a bit slower.

Sha'er dared not tank it anymore. Trembling with fear, he carefully dodged while frantically sending messages to his master. What Domain Level demon? Where in the world was there a Domain Level like this? It had to be a super powerhouse using some concealment method, only appearing to be Domain Level.

Sha'er tried his best to flee toward his master's temple, but the temple wasn't close. By the time his master received the message and arrived, he'd probably have turned to ash.

He had only just become an Immortal God not long ago, and now he ran into an enemy like this. How unwilling he felt! That unwillingness made his evasive movements exceptionally smooth. Dozens of times in a row, he dodged successfully without taking a single scratch.

As for why this super powerhouse, clearly a warrior, kept attacking from a distance—Sha'er subconsciously assumed the guy was playing cat and mouse for fun.

He had no objection to that mindset. Play on, don't stop, keep playing. What if he could hold out until his master arrived?

How was Li Dui supposed to know what this Immortal God was imagining? He was still warily watching for a sudden counterattack.

Blade lights slashed over from afar, one after another, as he watched the light-type Immortal God bob and weave in every direction.

No help for it—that was how warriors worked. Close combat let you change a thousand ways, but ranged attacks were out of your hands once launched. If he were a Spirit Reader controller, this Immortal God would have been riddled with holes by now.

Can't hit him, huh? Time to switch it up. Li Dui started using his old flicker movement technique, constantly shifting his attack position.

After comprehending teleportation, the flicker movement became even more profound. Each shift carried an elusive quality. Though still fundamentally different from teleportation, with a single flicker, he could appear somewhere else. Maybe it should be renamed "blink" now.

Sha'er's pressure skyrocketed. Dodging alone could no longer guarantee he wouldn't be hit. He had to use secret techniques, cleverly borrowing force to maintain his position.

Unfortunately, borrowing force wasn't so easy either. The attack power Li Dui was using was roughly at the level of Heavenly Bridge's thirteenth floor—Army Leader high-tier, nearly peak. Sha'er was barely at the eleventh floor or below. If he took too much shock from a careless moment, a small part of his divine body would be forcibly annihilated.

Time passed. No matter how Sha'er raged, roared, or begged, Li Dui couldn't be bothered to reply. He just kept blinking and striking.

Immortal Gods were truly hard to kill. This one was just an ordinary Immortal God without an undying body. His law comprehension and secret technique level were both low. Li Dui hacked at him for nearly an hour before sensing his aura weaken noticeably.

Sha'er was in despair. In that time, his master might not even have received his message. His divine body had already lost 22%, and his strength had dropped considerably. If this continued, things would only get worse.

"Bastard~ You forced me!" Sha'er gritted his teeth. His left wrist snapped off on its own. The entire forearm radiated a terrifying, explosive aura as it shot swiftly toward Li Dui.

Sacrificing part of his divine body, trying to fight me to the death with a small self-destruct? Li Dui wasn't bothered.

If you hadn't sacrificed divine body parts, I'd still be trying to land a hit on you. You toss away nearly 10% like that—let's see how many times you can do it.

Besides, did you think I'd be scared just because part of your divine body self-destructs? One arm, and you think you can go head-to-head with me?

"Hah~" Li Dui exhaled sharply and swung his blade in a furious slash. This time, he held nothing back—the full power of Heavenly Bridge's eighteenth floor, space comprehension, erupted. Apart from combining earth and space laws, this was Li Dui's strongest strike. Using Number Two's body, equivalent to a Domain Lord's physique, it could go toe-to-toe with a peak Army Leader Immortal God.

The blade light spread like an endless curtain, slashing toward Sha'er.

Sha'er had sacrificed his divine body hoping the explosion would scare Li Dui off, then find a chance to escape.

Seeing Li Dui slash head-on, Sha'er's heart leaped with joy. He went all out, unleashing his strongest technique. Huge ghost claws appeared in the sky, linked in a chain, charging at Li Dui.

He didn't even look at the result, turning to flee madly.

The blade light met the severed arm. In an instant, a terrifying burst of power erupted, shaking space.

Li Dui's figure vanished inexplicably, appearing silently at an angle behind Sha'er, and slashed down.

The explosion masked Sha'er's perception. He had no idea what was behind him. By the time the attack landed, he couldn't react at all. The blade light annihilated him completely.

Li Dui wore an expression of no surprise.

An Immortal God who lost 30% of their divine body was left with only half their strength. The gap in power was too great, and with such an unguarded hit, how could this light-type Immortal God survive?

He reached out, grabbed the spoils, sensed Number One's position, and with a thought, appeared beside him.

He had Number One go into the World Ring to sort the loot while Number Two teleported repeatedly across the Xueluo World.

After many attempts, Li Dui summed up his experience. If he spread his perception spherically outward from himself, the range was not large—roughly 1% of the maximum range when focusing in one direction.

That was 1% of a light-year. For normal combat and escape, it was more than enough.

For long-distance travel, a King Rank's teleportation was just so-so.

One teleport could cover a light-year. If he teleported once per second continuously for a day, he'd only cover over 80,000 light-years—equivalent to a ship flying at just over three times light speed in the Dark Universe for a day.

Li Dui calculated. To match a ship at 50 times light speed, he'd need to teleport nearly 16 times per second.

That result made Li Dui wince. A King Rank Immortal God could teleport a dozen or even dozens of times per second without issue.

He definitely couldn't. At most, he could teleport three or four times per second. No help for it—his physique couldn't keep up.

In other words, Li Dui's maximum teleportation speed was only a bit faster than his E9-Grade spaceship. Hardly worth it.
