Star Tower, Luo Feng is undergoing the process of being recognized as a master, his soul being constantly torn apart. On the Craftsman God Star, Zhang Junbao is also experiencing endless pain from body to soul due to the recombination of life genes.
Both leaders of the Earth Human Race are undergoing life-or-death trials, while in the Star Tower, Hong and Thunder God are also fighting for their lives.
"Boom"
" Brother Hong!"
With a roar, Thunder God's round, bald head shimmered with mysterious patterns, as if countless energies were surging from it. In an instant, terrifying purple lightning, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, emanated from Thunder God's body. The purple lightning gradually spread across the War Blade in his hand, and with a single slash, he cleaved a Machine Race powerhouse with two giant pincers and a venomous scorpion-like creature behind him, splitting him tens of thousands of kilometers away.
"Humans, you absolutely cannot escape!"
After being struck away by Thunder God, the giant scorpion-shaped Machine Race warrior still wanted to restore his divine body by relying on his Undying Body. However, Thunder God's lightning continuously eroded his divine body, forcibly preventing him from using his Undying Body to restore his divine body.
His right pincers had been shattered by Thunder God's strike, leaving him a one-armed scorpion, which fueled his growing rage.
"Thanks, Thunder God!"
Hong had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his armor was covered in wounds, clearly indicating that he had been through a major battle.
" Alien Race, you really spare no expense! To ambush the two of us, you actually invited ten King Level Illusionist to restrict my illusionary realm. Add to that eight King Level martial artists, and eighteen Alien Race King Rank are surrounding and killing us. What a brilliant tactic!"
Hong and Thunder God were training in the Star Tower. Since the Giant Axe Founder trusted them to come here, he must have left them some methods.
One of the methods was to conceal their identities as World Lord. To others, they appeared to be two Immortal God, and only the Universe Supreme Master could discover their identities as World Lord, or Universe Master could probe their bodies deeply.
The two trained for ten thousand years in the Miniature Universe of the Giant Axe using Time Acceleration, and then cultivated for three thousand years under the guidance of Puti. With the heartfelt guidance of two top-tier powerhouses in the universe, they had already possessed the strength of King Level.
With their combined strength, venturing into the Star Tower would be a piece of cake for them.
Over the course of a thousand years, it has already made a name for itself.
" Illusion Heart King, your illusions are truly terrifying. Ordinary King Rank experts are powerless against your illusions. This time, we invited a King Level Illusionist to kill you two here."
For nearly ten thousand years, humankind has seen the rise of numerous geniuses and powerful figures. Legend has it that the strongest World Lord, World Lord Level Zhang Junbao, slew over a thousand King Rank, while Daohe Blade River King killed dozens of King Rank with a single strike. Now, you and ' Purple Firmament King ' have only been at the Star Tower for a mere thousand years, yet you already possess the combat power of King Rank.
Moreover, the fact that neither of you had any combat records or reputation with other powerful races before this suggests that you are geniuses secretly cultivated by humans.
"Your Human Race has too many geniuses; some must be eliminated, otherwise the rest of us will soon have no place to survive."
" Flame Dragon King, your Demon Race had a large number of its King Rank slaughtered by my human World Lord, Aurora King Zhang Junbao, back then, but now you only dare to take your anger out on us. I'm ashamed of you!" Hong said disdainfully.
"If you dared to go after the Aurora King, I would respect you as a strong person. But now, you're nothing but a coward!"
" Brother Hong, stop wasting your breath on them. They're just eighteen King Rank. Do they really think we humans have no strong warriors?" Thunder God God's eyes flashed with lightning.
His killing intent was extremely strong, and his Lightning Secret Technique contained special effects. Even King Rank expert with Undying Body would find it difficult to recover his divine body under his Lightning Secret Technique. Moreover, following Thunder God Zhang Junbao's advice, the Thunder God developed the Law of Lightning in the direction of Punishment Lightning. After being guided by the Lord of Void Gold, his lightning was now beyond the ability of ordinary King Rank expert's armor to withstand.
In other words, Thunder God's attack is completely penetrating. In a typical Strongest Battle King Rank- level expert, a full-force attack would only inflict 10% or even less damage after being weakened by the armor.
Therefore, although battles between King Rank experts are fierce, very few perish. It is extremely difficult for King-level Immortal expert to kill an expert of the same level.
However, Thunder God's attack techniques can penetrate armor and directly strike the divine body of King-level Immortal. Given this disparity, Thunder God's attack techniques pose a significant threat to King-level Immortal.
He and Hong roamed the Star Tower for a thousand years, encountering countless ambushes by Alien Race, but they were never afraid.
This time, an Alien Race powerhouse even gathered eighteen King-level Immortal, preparing to join forces to kill the two of them.
" Purple Firmament King, your killing intent is overwhelming. I admit your Lightning Secret Technique are indeed strange; ordinary armor is completely unable to withstand your attacks. But since we intend to kill you two, how could we be unprepared?"
It's up to you now, Iron Wall King!
As he spoke, behind the Flame Dragon King who surrounded Hong and the Thunder God, appeared a powerful Alien Race warrior covered in scales. Behind him, a tail with a bone hammer swayed constantly, and his triangular head had three sharp horns on the top and sides. His upright, yellowish-brown eyes were devoid of any emotion.
"A high-ranking Demon Race High King, the Iron Wall King, renowned for his powerful defensive techniques. Most importantly, he possesses a Heavy Treasure Armor, making him fearless even when facing Peak King Rank!"
Upon seeing the Alien Race King Rank appear before him, Thunder God's intelligent assistant instantly relayed the information to Thunder God.
Clearly, this opponent was specifically prepared for Thunder God by these Alien Race. Thunder God's Lightning Secret Technique can penetrate ordinary armor, but it will likely be less effective against Heavy Treasure.
Thunder God's face turned solemn. He hadn't expected that these Alien Race powerhouses would not only prepare ten Soul Master-level King Rank- level experts specifically to counter Hong's illusions, but also one expert to counter his Lightning Secret Technique.
Nineteen Alien Race King Rank, each with their own unique abilities, were watching them intently. They were determined to win this battle.
In recent years, thanks to Zhang Junbao's encouragement, human powerhouses have become increasingly valiant and skilled in battle, making other Alien Race powerhouses feel somewhat inferior. That's why they've united to carry out a plan to exterminate human geniuses.
" Brother Hong, what should we do?" Thunder God asked telepathically.
" Thunder God, do you believe me?" Hong suddenly asked.
"Of course, you're like an older brother to me. Besides Junbao and Luo Feng, you're the person I trust the most."
"That's good. Junbao and Luo Feng are already far ahead of us. It will be very difficult for us to catch up with them."
Fortunately, they will definitely stay in the World Lord realm for a long time, which is our opportunity.
They all have a record of defeating King Rank. Although you and I have also earned the title of King Rank, we are still quite far behind them.
One High King and eighteen Initial King are not enough for Junbao to kill with a single sword strike.
A bunch of chickens and dogs, do they think we're easy to bully?
"Even if I die, I won't let them get away with it!" Divine Eye blazed with murderous intent.
"Unfortunately, they miscalculated one thing. Those Alien Race all thought that my illusionary realm master had a strong mental state, while your Lightning Secret Technique was the strongest."
Little did they know that your mental cultivation had already reached the Third Layer.
"Thunder God, can you withstand the illusionary attack of ten King Rank experts?"
"Hehe, although I'm not good at illusions, I should be able to hold them off for a while!" Thunder God grinned, a sly glint in his eyes.
When Hong recommended Thunder God to the Giant Axe Founder, it showed that he also possessed a strong mental fortitude.
Having witnessed the immense power displayed by Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, and Hong through their mental fortitude, how could the Giant Axe possibly overlook the mental cultivation of the Thunder God?
Moreover, the Earth Lineage is renowned for its strong mental fortitude.
Therefore, under the special training of the Giant Axe, Thunder God's state of mind also reached the Third Layer level. If he were to venture into the Illusion Sea, he would definitely be able to pass through the first twenty islands.
Even when facing the soul pressure of Universe Venerable level, Thunder God was able to withstand it to some extent.
As soon as Hong spoke, Thunder God knew Hong's plan.
The story of Tian Huaxia's horse race is a well-known tale in China. Hong had the Thunder God defend against the illusion of ten Alien Race King Rank, precisely because of this plan.
Just as the two were secretly exchanging words, nineteen Alien Race King Rank had already surrounded and attacked them.
Ten Alien Race King Level soul masters joined forces to unleash a soul illusion attack, attempting to rival Hong's illusionary abilities.
But to their surprise, Hong took a step back, while Thunder God, his body crackling with lightning, grinned and stepped forward to meet him.
"You're courting death! A mere martial artist Law of Lightning dares to withstand the illusion created by the combined efforts of the ten of us! May you be forever trapped in this illusion!"
The ten Alien Race soul masters were enraged. Hong didn't fight them; instead, Thunder God stepped forward. In their view, Hong probably intended to sacrifice Thunder God so that they could escape.
"Could ' Purple Firmament King ' be Soul Slave of Illusion Heart King, actually shielding him from the illusionary attacks of ten soul masters? This is absolutely suicidal!"
"Boom!"
A terrifying surge of soul power violently assaulted Thunder God's soul, and lightning crackled incessantly around his body, with countless bolts of Thunder God swirling around him, making him appear as if the true Thunder God had descended to earth.
His eyes were somewhat unfocused, but deep within them, a glimmer of lightning seemed to be the indomitable god of thunder, steadfastly guarding the soul of the god of Thunder God.
Kill him!
The moment the ten Soul Masters cast their illusion, they unleashed their attack techniques once more, each controlling their own psychic weapons to strike at Thunder God.
In their view, Thunder God was trapped in an illusion and had no chance to fight back.
Using illusions to confuse enemies and render them unable to resist, followed by attacks with psychic weapons or secret techniques, is the most common and effective attack method for Illusionist.
Using their illusionary abilities, they have killed countless powerful individuals.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, ten bolts of lightning flashed through the void, striking their attack fiercely and forcefully blocking the fatal blow.
"How is this possible? How can he still perform secret techniques?"
The same thought immediately popped into the minds of all the Alien Race powerhouses, but before they could even understand it, Thunder God's figure had already appeared before them.
"Die!"
Thunder God's War Blade, crackling with purple lightning, cleaved through the void with the lightning of retribution, and the ten Soul Masters immediately felt the power of the legendary Punishment Lightning.
"This Lightning Secret Technique is completely unstoppable by my armor. My Immortal Divine Body lost 15% of its power in a single strike! Heavens!"
The ten soul masters panicked immediately.
They dared to openly attack Hong and Thunder God because they believed that with the combined strength of the ten of them, they could overcome Hong's illusion. And with Iron Wall King's defensive capabilities, they were completely unafraid of Thunder God's Lightning Secret Technique.
To their surprise, Thunder God stepped forward and withstood their illusion, severing 15% of their divine bodies with a single strike.
If Thunder God were to strike a few more times, wouldn't they all perish?
At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, Hong looked up at Iron Wall King, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The Heavy Treasure Armor could withstand physical attacks, but it couldn't stop his illusionary attacks.
Only Heavy Treasure capable of defending the soul can prevent the soul from being attacked by illusions from other powerful beings. Unfortunately, the Flame Dragon King and the others originally planned to have the Iron Wall King, who possessed Heavy Treasure Armor, deal with the Thunder God, but they did not expect to be met with Hong's illusion attack instead.
A bright light burst forth from the tip of Hong's spear, instantly enveloping the remaining nine Alien Race King Rank. They were all martial artists skilled in close combat, who had come to surround and kill Thunder God.
Faced with Hong's illusion, they lost all ability to resist in just a moment.
Hong's body became utterly ethereal, as if he didn't exist at all.
He has now successfully achieved a preliminary fusion of the Law of Light and Time Law, and has begun to explore the mysteries of the Fusion Law light and time.
This is also a Path of the Beast God. Back on Earth, without any guidance, Hong was able to comprehend the realm at the Planetary Level his own, becoming the undisputed number one on Earth.
Over the years, although his brilliance has been overshadowed by Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng, he began to truly shine after being taken as a disciple by the Giant Axe Founder.
The Giant Axe Founder is currently the only Universe Supreme Master. With his vision, he devoted himself to nurturing Hong, and Hong's cultivation on the Path of the Beast God progressed by leaps and bounds, as if this was the path that truly belonged to him.
The fusion of the Law of Light brought Hong's illusions to an extremely terrifying level. Hong's illusions were the most human-centric ones he had come to understand after experiencing countless worldly affairs in the universe; his understanding of human nature had reached an unprecedented level.
Hong's illusions are always the most comfortable and the ones you don't want to leave.
Every living being has desires, and Hong's illusions directly address the most fundamental desires of life, immersing them in them from which they cannot extricate themselves.
After the nine Alien Race King Rank were trapped in Hong's illusion, they immediately lost their ability to resist. Some of them became frenzied, laughing wildly, as if their pursuit of thousands of years had finally been realized.
Some looked utterly ecstatic, as if they were the strongest being in the universe, above billions of people, capable of annihilating countless star systems with a mere gesture, and with all races of the universe trembling at their feet.
Some, however, do indeed have a gentle expression, as if they have encountered the most beautiful moment of their lives, and wasting even a moment would be shameful.
Even more terrifying, within Hong's illusion, they actually removed their armor, because within the illusion, countless eons had passed, and they had become the greatest beings in the universe, with no one able to threaten them.
With a silly grin, the Flame Dragon King took off his armor and lunged forward as if a mountain of gold was waiting for him to embrace.
Even the Iron Wall King, who possessed the Heavy Treasure Armor, removed his armor and sat cross-legged in the void, as if he had become an invincible king in the universe.
"Desire is something that no living being can avoid. The stronger a person is, the stronger their desires become."
The world is full of suffering; all living beings are merely struggling in this mortal realm.
Rest in peace, and may you be reborn in a peaceful place.
With a single sweep of Hong's spear, the divine bodies of all nine Alien Race King Rank were annihilated.
They had already removed their armor and stood naked in front of Hong, completely unprepared.
"Dead, all of them are dead!"
"Even the Flame Dragon King and the Iron Wall King, who possessed the Heavy Treasure Armor, perished. The illusion created by the human Illusion Heart King actually caused even High King, possessing the Heavy Treasure Armor, and the Iron Wall King to completely give up resistance and be slaughtered at his mercy."
"And you, Purple Firmament King, how were you able to withstand the illusion cast by the ten of us working together? Do you possess a powerful soul defense Heavy Treasure? I refuse to accept this!" The last Alien Race soul master let out a helpless roar.
With Thunder God's relentless hacking and slashing, of the ten Alien Race King Level soul masters, only he remains.
His divine body had already lost more than 50%, and his strength was less than 10% of what it used to be. There was no way he could escape from Thunder God.
"I don't possess any powerful soul-defense Heavy Treasure, but your illusions are still far from enough to break through my mental state!"
With a single strike, Thunder God annihilated the divine body of the last Alien Race soul master, causing his complete demise. Only ten World Ring remained, drifting silently in the void, testifying that their masters had once existed in the universe.
" Brother Hong, we did it!"
"Yeah, at least we haven't fallen too far behind those two."
Hong and Thunder God exchanged a smile, cleaned up the battlefield, and continued their conquest.
