The God of Slaughter's Shock
"That's true."
Xiong Jun glanced at Snow Empress, who was looking in their direction, scratched his head, and understood Ji Xuanqiu's thoughts.
With Snow Empress) in charge, the situation just now was indeed not considered dangerous.
He stopped dwelling on the matter and instead said, "We've dealt with most of the powerful Evil Spirit Master; it's time for us to lead our teams to wipe out the Evil Spirit Master in other areas."
Although Heaven Dou City is the place where the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Spirit Master are most concentrated, this does not mean that there are no Evil Spirit Master in other places.
According to the original plan, after clearing out the Evil Spirit Master in Heaven Dou City, apart from the necessary personnel remaining behind, these Limit Douluo were to each lead ten Titled Douluo to various parts of the Dou Ling Continent to clear out the Holy Spirit Cult bases and Evil Spirit Master in other places.
With both powerful deities from the Holy Spirit Cult present in Heaven Dou City, and a Limit Douluo leading the team, there's virtually no chance of any unexpected incidents.
Upon hearing Ji Xuanqiu turned his gaze to the battlefield.
Although not much time has passed since the start of the battle, as Xiong Jun said, the Evil Spirit Master have indeed been mostly dealt with.
With overwhelming combat power and numbers, the Evil Spirit Master of the Holy Spirit Cult were no match for them and have now been mostly dealt with.
Even those Evil Spirit Master who wanted to escape encountered the Soul Suppressing Douluo and a group of Titled Douluo, making it virtually impossible for them to escape.
Even if someone manages to escape temporarily thanks to their special abilities, they will inevitably leave behind bloodstains or items closely related to themselves during the battle. The Soul Suppressing Douluo's curse killing ability is unparalleled. With these items, there is no need to chase after him. He can take lives from a distance, and the enemy has nowhere to escape.
As for the powerful figures and army on the Dou Ling side that they were originally worried about, who might pose an obstacle to them----
Ji Xuanqiu glanced at the ground with a strange expression.
A Titled Douluo from the Dou Ling Empire crashed head-on into Titled Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda. Despite being Titled Douluo himself, he didn't dare to stop them and turned to flee.
Heaven Dou City, where the Dou Ling army was stationed, there was no movement at all. The army, which had the ability to force back Limit Douluo, was now holed up in their camp and dared not come out at all.
Tens of thousands of soldiers huddled in their camp, gazing at the sky with expressions of fear, solemnity, or resentment, yet at the legion commander's request, not a single one came out to support the Holy Spirit Cult.
Clearly, these people won't cause them any trouble.
Seeing Ji Xuanqiu looking towards the Dou Ling Empire's military camp, Xiong Jun followed suit and said, "Don't worry about them interfering; many Dou Ling experts are already terrified."
Faced with the formidable array of their Spirit Pagoda, very few dared to venture out and risk their lives.
The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Spirit Master had no choice; they knew they couldn't escape, so they were forced to "suicide."
However, those who Dou Ling are clearly different from those who fight Evil Spirit Master. Huo Yuhao had already stated at the start of the battle that this war was to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult, not to massacre the city. Any Dou Ling expert with even a modicum of sense would not be foolish enough to lead their people to their deaths alongside the Evil Spirit Master.
Even though the Spirit Pagoda believes that some of the evil Dou Ling who aided and abetted the wicked deserve to die, they will not actively kill them to maintain stability, lest they incite rebellion throughout the city and cause unmanageable consequences.
Ji Xuanqiu withdrew his gaze and instead glanced at the streets, alleys, and palace of the Dou Ling Empire. "It seems that not all Dou Ling people are so sensible."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun glanced around the streets and alleys of Heaven Dou City and saw some Dou Ling residents still praying for the Holy Spirit Cult and the God of Slaughter. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
These ordinary residents had only a superficial understanding of Soul Masters, and coupled with the deliberate propaganda from the higher-ups of the Dou Ling Sect, they clearly held a positive impression of the Holy Spirit Cult and the God of Slaughter.
Perhaps in their eyes, the Spirit Pagoda isn't a righteous force coming to save them from their suffering, but rather an invader bringing them disaster?
"It makes us look like the villains—"
Xiong Jun shook his head helplessly.
However, it's understandable. A powerful enemy nation invaded in large numbers, waged war on their own soil, and the aftermath destroyed vast areas of buildings, with far-reaching consequences. It's unrealistic to expect them to Spirit Pagoda as a benefactor.
Moreover, these residents can only talk about it; it's not a big deal.
Thinking this, his gaze turned to the Dou Ling Palace, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
A massive protective shield had been deployed at the Dou Ling Imperial Palace, and numerous large Soul Tool were aimed at them, gathering energy, seemingly preparing to put up a desperate resistance and attack them.
"There really are some who aren't afraid of death." Xiong Jun clicked his tongue twice, but there was no anger in his eyes, only a hint of amusement. "Does this person know they're about to die?"
That makes sense. It's one thing for ordinary Dou Ling residents, but the higher-ups in Dou Ling must know about the dirty dealings of the Holy Spirit Cult, and might even be involved.
Once they've cleaned up the Holy Spirit Cult and exposed their crimes, the higher-ups of the Dou Ling Sect will definitely be purged.
Rather than waiting to die, it's better to make one last desperate attempt; that's a reasonable way of thinking.
"Pagoda Master Xiong Jun, go and clear out the Evil Spirit Master in other places. I'll stay here and deal with the issues with the higher-ups in the Dou Ling Sect," Ji Xuanqiu said.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun glanced at Ji Xuanqiu, and seeing his calm and composed expression, secretly curled his lip.
That sounds nice, but really, isn't it just that they want to stay and watch the remaining two battles of the gods?
He wanted to too.
But someone has to go to other places.
Besides, who gave Ji Xuanqiu the first reason to stay?
"Fine, you stay."
Xiong Jun sighed softly, turned around, and left.
Meanwhile, the ignorant Dou Ling residents on the ground watched the Holy Spirit Cult's powerful warriors rapidly crumble in the sky, their prayers fading as despair welled up in their hearts.
"It's over—we're going to lose—"
"Those evil invaders from the Douluo Federation are about to win, what should we do?"
"Is Heaven going to destroy my Dou Ling?"
Some people sobbed softly, some slumped to the ground, and many more simply stared blankly at the sky, their eyes vacant.
In their minds, the Spirit Pagoda and the Douluo Federation were enemies of their Dou Ling Empire. If they attacked, they were invaders, demons coming to Destruction their homeland.
As for what the Holy Spirit Cult has done over the years, many ordinary people are unaware of it and don't care. They only know that the Holy Spirit Cult is subordinate to the God of Slaughter and is an organization officially recognized by the Dou Ling. If they fall, the Dou Ling will not have a good ending either.
"Lord God of Slaughter of God of Slaughter, you are our only hope now!"
A follower of the God of Slaughter looked up at the sky. He couldn't see the details of the battle clearly, only feeling terrifying energy fluctuations constantly exploding, shaking him to his core. But he still stared intently in that direction, silently praying.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the Snow Empress was also watching the battlefield between Huo Yuhao and the God of Slaughter, a worried look appearing between her brows.
Because it was Huo Yuhao was at a disadvantage.
As Huo Yuhao clashed with the God of Slaughter, his attacks mostly ended with Huo Yuhao being suppressed.
Snow Empress had actually foreseen this situation during her several encounters with Huo Yuhao after the God of Slaughter appeared.
At that time, Huo Yuhao used either the Emperor Sword Seven Luminaries Returning to the Void, Seven- Seven Colors Divine Lightning, or Crimson Gold Profound Flame, all of which were powerful techniques; while the God of Slaughter merely used his killing intent, doing so at will.
The gap was there from the very beginning.
The God of Slaughter's cultivation level didn't seem to exceed Level 100 by much, but the strength he displayed far surpassed his cultivation level.
In Snow Empress's opinion, if she or Di Tian were to face the God of Slaughter, they would probably die at God of Slaughter hands in less than three moves.
Even knowing Huo Yuhao had many God of Slaughter cards, she couldn't help but feel a little worried about his strength.
Compared to Snow Empress, Gu Yuena had a clearer understanding of the God of Slaughter's strength.
The Power of the Seven Elements in her palm erupted suddenly, forcing the Demon Empress back. Taking advantage of this gap, she glanced at the battlefield between the God of Slaughter and Huo Yuhao, her expression slightly hardening.
If we were to describe the current God of Slaughter using the Douluo system, his cultivation level would be around level 102, but the strength he has displayed has probably reached the Late-Stage Third Rank God or higher!
It's important to understand that once you reach the God Rank, fighting against opponents of a higher level is no easy feat.
Taking Lan Xuanyu as an example, with the Dragon God Bloodline as his foundation, his comprehension of various Laws, his mastery of the power of Tribulation Lightning and the fundamental Laws of the Universe Origin, and his possession of Six-Word Battle Armor, multiple Divine Tool, and Super Divine Tool artifacts, he dared to say that he could contend with ordinary Super God Rank when he was a second -Second Rank God in the lower realm. The gap between God Rank is thus evident.
After all, the difference between each level of the God Rank is not small. Moreover, those who can cultivate to the God Rank have all gone through layers of selection. Just like the powerhouses in Douluo, the levels of Titled Douluo, Super Douluo, Limit, and becoming a god are all hurdles. Those who can overcome them one by one are all outstanding Exceptional Talents with excellent foundations such as opportunities, understanding of Laws, and cultivation.
If you want to fight against opponents of higher levels at the God Rank, what are your advantages?
Without an advantage, how can you fight against opponents of a higher level? You can't rely on just enthusiasm, can you?
But the situation with the God of Slaughter is clearly different.
He was previously Second Rank God in the Divine Realm Divine Realm, and one of the best among them, ranking among the Second Rank God three. His strength was probably at the late stage of the Super God Rank, or even the peak.
Re-Cultivation, although he has lost all his Re-Cultivation, the God of Slaughter still possesses at least Super God Rank understanding of the Laws, his killing intent is based on the Laws, and he also has Super God Rank insights into the use of Divine Power and Divine Consciousness. In addition, with the God of Slaughter Divine Position Gu Yuena, it is not surprising that he has such strength.
"However, without being able to unleash the full power of his God of Slaughter Divine Position, defeating Yuhao won't be so easy," Gu Yuena thought to herself.
The God of Slaughter is currently unable to unleash the full power of his Divine Position.
To unleash the true brilliance of Divine Position, one's cultivation must reach a certain level. The God of Slaughter is Second Rank God, requiring a cultivation level of at least 110 to fully unleash the power of the God of Slaughter Divine Position. The current God of Slaughter cannot display the full power of his God of Slaughter Divine Position.
If the God of Slaughter were to reach level 110 or higher, he could instantly possess Super God Rank strength, but right now—he's still far from it.
(Note: After Dou Wu Tang San Re-Cultivation, it seems that he reached the cultivation level of a first -First Rank God in the lower realm, which allowed the true power of the Sea God Divine Position to be revealed.)
Since he cannot unleash the full power of the God of Slaughter Divine Position, it won't be so easy for God of Slaughter to defeat Huo Yuhao.
After all, even ordinary God Rank powerhouses don't have as profound a foundation as Huo Yuhao.
"Before he had cultivated his Divine Body and acquired the Four-Word Battle Armor, Yuhao already possessed the strength of the Early-Stage Third Rank God. Even if his raw strength is still inferior to the God of Slaughter, he won't be easily defeated. The stronger the God of Slaughter is, the more it can serve as a training ground for him."
Gu Yuena noticed that although Huo Yuhao was at a disadvantage, under the pressure of the God of Slaughter, his aura became more solid and his fighting spirit increased rather than decreased, which made her smile slightly.
While the God of Slaughter was undoubtedly an enemy, he had also come a long way on the path to God Rank, and for Huo Yuhao, he was perhaps a "..."
Good teacher.
The profound knowledge and experience displayed by a Super God Rank powerhouse in battle are the best nourishment for Huo Yuhao, who has not yet truly become a god.
Just as Gu Yuena was paying attention to Huo Yuhao, a water blade condensed from Taiyin True Water, carrying the power of Laws, slashed through the air. "You still have the mind to look at others? Take care of yourself first!" The Demon Empress roared, and the water blade was already upon her.
Gu Yuena glanced at her coldly, then slightly raised her hand, releasing a surge of icy cold air that effortlessly froze and shattered the water blade—a faint cracking sound echoed through the space as it transformed into countless ice crystals that scattered across the sky.
Although she was empowered by the Four-Word Battle Armor, she could be considered to be on the same level as the Demon Empress, the Snow Empress, and the Di Tian, and could all briefly break through to the God Rank.
However, being at the same level does not mean they are of equal strength; none of these people are her match.
If it weren't for giving Old Yi a chance to shine and Huo Yuhao's promise to Lan Fozi, she could have easily killed the Demon Empress.
But for now, if we want to keep them around, we can only put on an act for now.
Seeing Gu Yuena easily block his attack once again, the Demon Empress grew increasingly anxious.
The rapidly dissipating aura of Evil Spirit Master around her reminded her that the Spirit Pagoda had gained an absolute advantage.
The fact that she couldn't defeat Gu Yuena, and the fact that Snow Empress was watching her intently from the sidelines without participating in the battle, told her that she was already at a complete disadvantage.
If she hadn't held two trump cards and been confident that her life wouldn't be in danger, she would have abandoned the God of Slaughter and fled.
Ordinary Evil Spirit Master cannot escape, but she and the God of Slaughter have a chance to retreat.
However, once she leaves, Gu Yuena, who is a reincarnation of a god just like Huo Yuhao, will be free to act, and it is unknown what kind of situation the God of Slaughter will face at that time.
After all, Snow Empress Di Tian were nothing to the God of Slaughter, but Gu Yuena was different.
As fellow reincarnations of gods, who knows what trump cards she holds?
The reason she chose Gu Yuena as her opponent was because she was worried that Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao would cooperate to besiege the God of Slaughter. If she withdrew, the situation would develop in that direction.
"Alright, the focus is still on the God of Slaughter. If he can kill Huo Yuhao, it will all be worth it. Anyway, with those two trump cards, my life isn't in immediate danger. Let's wait and see. If the God of Slaughter still can't achieve anything, then we can consider retreating."
Thinking this, the Demon Empress once again unleashed a Divine Skill of the Sea God, gritting his teeth as he launched an attack on Gu Yuena.
She obtained most of the fragments of the Sea God Divine Spark. After studying them, she gained many insights into Laws and God Rank, as well as numerous Sea God Divine Skill. She dared not use the Sea God Divine Spark for the time being, but these Divine Skill were another matter.
While the Demon Empress gritted her teeth and persevered, on the other side God of Slaughter, on whom she and the people of Dou Ling had placed high hopes, was engaged in a fierce battle with Huo Yuhao.
"Clang--!"
The two, one wielding the God of Slaughter Sword and the other the Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle, engaged in an extremely dangerous hand-to-hand battle in the sky. The sword light and the pestle shadows clashed, and each collision exploded a shockwave that tore through the void, shattering the heavens into pieces.
The more they fought, the greater the God of Slaughter's suspicions grew.
As Snow Empress and Gu Yuena saw, he had gained the upper hand.
However, he didn't leave many scars on Huo Yuhao.
The opponent's physique is too strong.
There are differences even among Divine Body Divine Body. Apart from those who excel in physical body Qi and Blood circulation, ordinary God Rank experts do not pay special attention to body refinement.
In the eyes of the God of Slaughter, Huo Yuhao's Divine Body was far superior to that of ordinary God Rank experts after breaking through to the God Rank. In particular, his recovery ability was astonishing, seemingly due to his mastery of the Dao of Life. Even if he was injured and his body's recovery was suppressed by a bit of killing intent, he could quickly remove the killing intent and recover.
Most importantly, Huo Yuhao seems to have a special physique.
The God of Slaughter discovered that even when his attacks landed on Huo Yuhao, the killing intent would be reduced by 20-30% out of nowhere.
He could sense that there seemed to be a special energy within Huo Yuhao's physique that assimilated his killing intent and weakened his power.
That seems to be— the Power of Chaos!
With a physique imbued with the Power of Chaos, a powerful body, and incredible regenerative abilities, coupled with a divine Divine Tool armor that provides extremely strong protection, Huo Yuhao has become an Undying physical monster.
Even though the God of Slaughter had the upper hand at one point, after his attacks clashed with Huo Yuhao's power, it became difficult for them to inflict a truly effective fatal wound on him.
Of course, if that were all, the God of Slaughter would at most find it troublesome, but wouldn't be surprised or suspicious.
After all, if a Main God were to Re-Cultivation power, he could understand having such opportunities and means. Even the Power of Chaos is something that almost every continent possesses; given enough opportunity, it is attainable.
What truly made the God of Slaughter's heart sink was something else— Huo Yuhao was actually making continuous progress in battle!
His control and use of Divine Power were becoming increasingly proficient. His opponent was like a sponge, constantly absorbing the various experiences he displayed.
Is this the behavior a normal reincarnation of a First Rank God should exhibit?
Shouldn't you have a greater grasp of these things than I do?
Could it be that his opponent wasn't First Rank God? But if he wasn't a reincarnated god, yet possessed such abilities, what kind of monster was he fighting?!
Who exactly is our opponent?
The God of Slaughter stared at Huo Yuhao, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.
