The moment Tsubasa and Orochimaru completely vanished into the void, the air throughout the entire Ōtsutsuki Star Region seemed to ignite.
It was neither the golden fire of the God Tree nor the dark green fire of the Insect Race's destruction, but the raging fire of fury that burned after the dignity of the two gods had been thoroughly challenged.
"Insignificant beings, how dare you disrupt the war of the gods!" The cold voice of the God of Ōtsutsuki echoed in the void, filled with unprecedented rage. It was once a supreme True God, ruling over a star field, and for billions of years no one dared to provoke it. But today, not only had two outsiders trespassed into its star field, but its old rival, the Insect God, had also seized the opportunity to enter. What it found even more intolerable was that those two "rear students" carrying the aura of the Ōtsutsuki bloodline had actually died right under its nose—this was the ultimate trampling of its divine majesty!
The pale golden Divine Domain instantly expanded, its light so dazzling that even the remaining fragments of space in the distance were melting. The God Tree that supported the entire Ōtsutsuki Star Region swayed wildly, the patterns on its trunk glowing with brilliant golden light. Countless thick branches, like ancient dragons awakened, tumbled and stretched in the void, instantly transforming into billions of golden spears that pierced through the universe, their tips pointing directly at the Insect God, carrying an aura of world-destroying power.
"Hiss--!!!"
The Insect God's rage was no less intense. It had finally managed to kill the "most outstanding descendant of the Ōtsutsuki," avenging the death of the Holy Mother Insect, but its hatred hadn't diminished; instead, it was completely ignited by the God of Ōtsutsuki's overwhelming attacks. Its deep-seated grudge against the God of Ōtsutsuki dates back to the Insect Swarm War billions of years ago, when they fought fiercely for the origin of the universe. Now, with old and new grievances accumulating, it had reached a point of no return!
" Ōtsutsuki! You think I can forgive your mistakes just because I killed those two little bastards? Today, I will tear down your God Tree and flatten your star field!" The Insect God's spiritual roar shook countless Xingchen. The dark green Divine Domain began to writhe like a living thing, covered with ferocious Insect Race runes, constantly devouring and assimilating the surrounding energy and space, attempting to transform the entire Ōtsutsuki Star Region into a massive insect hive to nourish the Insect Race.
Its carapace hardened further in its rage, a dark green energy shield appearing on it, enough to withstand most physical and energy attacks. Its massive jaws snapped shut, even gnawing at the scattered chains of law around it, each bite producing a terrifying "crunching" sound. Its two remaining intact compound eyes gleamed with bloodlust, occasionally unleashing a highly condensed decomposition ray that pierced the void with dark holes.
The two gods fought with unbridled rage, no longer caring about controlling their power and completely disregarding the lives and deaths of countless Ōtsutsuki Clan within the star field.
The God Tree's countless roots emerged from the void, like countless golden tentacles, frantically drawing energy from the surrounding Xingchen. Whether it was the blazing flames of stars, the profound essence of planets, or the icy power of comets, all were continuously absorbed into the God Tree by these roots, transformed into pure divine power. The entire Ōtsutsuki Star Region became its source of power, making its divine power seem inexhaustible, and its attacks becoming increasingly fierce.
"Die!" The voice of the God of Ōtsutsuki was filled with icy killing intent. Countless golden spears pierced towards the Insect God at the same time, densely packed like a golden ocean, sealing off all of the Insect God's escape routes.
Undeterred, the Insect God spun violently, its massive body converging into a raging energy Uzumaki within its dark green Divine Domain. Countless Insect Race phantoms roared and clashed within the Uzumaki. Its tentacles lashed out like steel whips at the golden spear, each collision unleashing a deafening roar. Golden Power of God and dark green destructive energy scattered in all directions, forming terrifying energy streams.
"You? I failed to kill you back then, but today I will annihilate your soul and spirit!" The Insect God roared, suddenly opening its massive maw and spewing out a stream of dark green corrosive liquid. The corrosive liquid transformed into a huge dark cloud in the air, corroding the void wherever it passed. Any golden spear that touched it was instantly eroded and melted.
However, the God of Ōtsutsuki's attacks were simply too dense. Although the Insect God was ferocious, it gradually became overwhelmed by the overwhelming onslaught. More importantly, in order to kill Tsubasa and Orochimaru, it had used its ultimate technique, the Disintegration Ray, twice in succession, consuming a considerable amount of divine power, and was now in a brief period of weakness.
The God of Ōtsutsuki keenly observed this, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and immediately seized the opportunity. "An opening!"
It manipulated the main trunk of the God Tree to tilt forward violently, and countless thick golden roots, like chains, rapidly emerged from the void, instantly wrapping around the Insect God's enormous body. The roots were covered with sharp barbs that pierced deep into the Insect God's carapace, drawing out the dark green energy within its body, while simultaneously releasing golden Power of God in an attempt to destroy its physical structure.
"Damn it! Let me go!" the Insect God roared furiously, struggling desperately. Its tentacles lashed and tore at the golden roots, its jaws biting down hard, severing several roots each time. But the God Tree had so many roots that as soon as one batch was severed, a new batch would surge up, like an endless tide.
"You can't escape." The voice of the God of Ōtsutsuki was cold and ruthless. The branches of the God Tree once again condensed into countless golden spears, which fiercely stabbed at the entangled Insect God.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Golden spears pierced the Insect God's carapace one after another, penetrating its body. Dark green blood spurted out, turning into highly corrosive droplets in the air, sizzling as they fell into the void. The Insect God let out a painful hiss, its body convulsing violently, and the dark green Divine Domain dimmed slightly.
But it was, after all, True God had lived for billions of years, with a terrifyingly tenacious vitality. Even when entangled and severely injured, it did not give up the fight. The life essence within its body burned wildly, and the dark green energy surged, forcibly pushing open a portion of the golden roots. With a sudden struggle, its enormous body managed to temporarily break free from its restraints.
"Trying to trap me? Dream on!" the Insect God roared, turning around to launch a counterattack.
But how could the God of Ōtsutsuki give it a chance? The branches of the God Tree swept across again, like countless golden giant axes, cleaving fiercely towards the Insect God's body. At the same time, countless roots coiled around it again, completely sealing off the Insect God's retreat.
The battle between the two gods became even more brutal and unrestrained.
The aftershocks of the battle were no longer the slight ripples of before, but a terrifying storm capable of destroying everything.
Within the Ōtsutsuki Star Region, those once prosperous planets inhabited by countless Ōtsutsuki Clan are now in dire straits.
On a life-bearing planet with a diameter of millions of kilometers, towering buildings once stood tall, and countless Ōtsutsuki Clan Reproduction here. In the city center, a city lord dressed in magnificent attire was inspecting the area. He was Peak Domain Level expert, virtually invincible on the planet. But at that moment, a golden aftershock of divine power swept across, and the entire city was instantly razed to the ground.
"What's going on?!" The city lord's expression changed drastically, and he immediately activated his divine power to try to defend himself. However, the aftershock of that divine power was too terrifying, and his defense was as fragile as paper, shattered in an instant. He didn't even have time to let out a scream before his body was completely vaporized, leaving not even a trace.
Other races on the planet suffered even more. Mountains collapsed under the impact of divine power, and huge rocks crashed to the ground like a meteor shower; the oceans were instantly evaporated, revealing the dried-up seabed, and countless marine creatures turned to ashes in the high temperature; the continental plates, like broken puzzle pieces, continued to split and collide in violent tremors.
"Run!" A young Ōtsutsuki Clan was terrified and ran desperately towards the planet's escape pod. He was a genius of the clan, having reached the Domain Level Early Stage at a young age, but in the face of such Ten'i, he was no different from an ordinary clansman.
"Divine punishment! This is divine punishment!" An elderly man with white hair knelt on the ground, praying desperately, his hands clasped together, hoping for divine mercy. But what responded to him was a stream of dark green energy that instantly turned him and everything around him into ashes.
"Save me... Mother!" a young Ōtsutsuki Clan cried out, trying to find his mother, but before he could run a few steps, he was swallowed up by the collapsing ground and never heard from again.
Wailing cries, desperate prayers, and heart-wrenching screams could be heard everywhere on the planet, but they were quickly drowned out by even greater explosions. In the aftermath of the battle between the two gods, the entire planet, like a fragile glass ball, collapsed with a roar, turning into countless fragments that dissipated into the universe.
Such scenes are playing out in every corner of the Ōtsutsuki Star Region.
Some planets were directly pierced by the golden power of the God Tree, exploding from their core; some planets were covered by dark green corrosive energy, turning the entire planet into a desolate scorched wasteland before slowly collapsing; and some planets were swept up by spatial turbulence and instantly torn into countless fragments.
Countless Ōtsutsuki Clan, whether they were high-ranking city lords, powerful Domain Level experts, or ordinary clansmen and young children, were no different from ants in the face of such a battle at the True God Level, and could only wait for death to come in despair.
Those powerful individuals who had reached the Saint Level threshold and were capable of Sky Splitter for long journeys fled in panic, desperately rushing out of the star field. They knew that staying in the star field meant certain death, and only by escaping could they have a chance of survival.
However, they underestimated the destructive power of the battle between the two gods on space. The space of the Ōtsutsuki Star Region had long been ravaged by the two Divine Domain, filled with countless spatial rifts and temporal turbulence, making it impossible for normal space travel to pass through.
A powerful Ōtsutsuki at the Peak Domain Level managed to tear open a spatial rift, but as soon as he entered, he was instantly torn to shreds by the violent spatial turbulence within, unable even to escape with his soul. Another powerful figure was slightly luckier, successfully traversing a distance, but as soon as he emerged from the spatial rift, he was struck by the aftershock of a stray golden spear, and his body instantly vaporized.
Of the powerful individuals who managed to escape the blood domain, less than one in a hundred survived. Those Ōtsutsuki Clan lacked the strength or were unable to escape in time, along with their respective planets, were reduced to cosmic dust.
The once glorious Ōtsutsuki civilization, which ruled for countless eras, was almost completely wiped out in this war of gods. The people suffered heavy casualties, with less than one in ten thousand surviving, and countless traditions, technologies, and resources were reduced to nothing in the flames of war.
