Buzz, buzz, buzz...
A buzzing filled his head, as though countless flies were circling him, leaving him distracted and agitated.
Liu Hou stood frozen in the starry sky, his face blank as he stared ahead in bewilderment.
What had happened?
What had he just seen?
How could the world possibly be like this?
Even now, Liu Hou had yet to recover his senses. He still could not quite believe what he had seen.
What had he just seen?
Cai Tao, a mighty High-Stage Dao-Origin Divine Lord whose cultivation surpassed Qin Hao's by two whole stages, had actually...
Been killed instantly by a single sword strike!
That was right—an instant kill!
Although Liu Hou's lower cultivation made him slower than Cai Tao, leaving him behind, he had sensed it with perfect clarity. That Giant Sword that had appeared out of nowhere...
Once its single strike fell...
Cai Tao had been cleaved in two on the spot!
A Dao-Origin Divine Lord might not count as a cultivator of particularly high cultivation in the Divine Domain, but their strength was still considerable. At the very least, killing someone at the same cultivation stage was anything but easy.
That was indeed the case.
As long as their Life Divine Power and Divine Soul had not been completely destroyed, they were not truly dead and could be revived in the future.
Even if their Divine Body was completely destroyed, as long as their Divine Soul remained, they could rebuild their Divine Body and regain their peak combat strength.
If the treasure they found to rebuild their Divine Body was something exceptionally rare and precious, it might even improve their Divine Body's aptitude to some extent, allowing them to climb another rung. Of course, that possibility was rather slim, and no one would be foolish enough
