God-Slaying, Merely a Joke!

Boom.

A figure, wreathed in world-ending lava, erupted from the depths of the earth, proclaiming his invincibility to the world.

"Courageous," Jiang Ping thought to himself. No matter how arrogant the Ant King was, to maintain such fighting spirit when facing an insurmountable opponent was truly rare!

After two heavy blows, the Ant King's body cracked like porcelain, spiderweb fissures spreading from the center. The Tablet of Truth had been shattered again by that single palm strike!

Most importantly, the core Nine-Nine Song runes within had also been mostly obliterated. Previously, when resisting the Spear of Destiny, the truth runes hadn't been annihilated!

"The next blow decides life and death!" the Ant King said with extreme solemnity.

This opponent was the most unbelievable existence he had ever encountered. Although he had made thorough preparations before challenging him, his power was still despair-inducing!

Jiang Ping glanced at the Ant King with curiosity. Facing such a vast chasm, what other means did you have?

"The Great Heaven and Earth Sacrifice begins!"

The six bloody characters were spat out by the Ant King. As his words fell, blood-red arrays appeared simultaneously across the Primordial World. The largest and most central array was the Altar of the God Sacrifice!

The earth seethed as countless Devouring Ants went mad, their billions of kin beginning to slaughter each other!

The sounds of fighting, screams, and wails rose one after another.

Jiang Ping watched it all with cold eyes. The Ant King standing at his feet continuously strengthened, with myriad strands of world origin power converging from all over the world.

The mutual slaughter at the altars further caused billions of streams of blood to converge at the Ant King's feet!

The massive flow of blood drenched the Ant King entirely, even staining the golden Divine Fire on his brow a vibrant red!

"Setting up Sacrifice Arrays across the world to draw upon the world's origin power, then inciting his kin to slaughter each other, with the power of the same origin continuously converging upon himself."

Jiang Ping saw through everything. The Ant King was right; this blow truly decided life and death.

The entire Primordial World rumbled and continuously fell!

This was not an illusion. If someone could observe from the periphery of the void, they would see the Primordial World instantly wither.

Its energy continuously declined, and even the world itself was falling!

After such a great sacrifice by the Ant King, the world's origin was severely damaged, leaving it with no hope of further advancement!

Nor could it give birth to any gifted beings!

In mere seconds, billions of Devouring Ants died, their power and souls converging into the Ant King through the intermittently flashing array patterns.

The Ant King's spiderweb-like body was completely repaired, even undergoing another bloody evolution. Rolling world origin power surged into him, making it feel as if he could stand firm on the earth and fully control the entire world!

Crack, crack, crack!

As if unable to contain the immense energy, the Ant King's body trembled continuously. A pair of demonic, blood-red eyes stared at the colossal figure before him, the blood-red Divine Fire on his brow pulsing.

Boom!

The earth beneath the Ant King's feet cracked under the unbearable power. Fiery magma erupted from the depths of the earth, and the Ant King's figure vanished instantly!

At this moment, there was no afterimage, no sonic boom.

As if traversing time and space, shattering the void, the Ant King, wielding a blood-red Divine Spear, appeared directly in front of Jiang Ping's brow!

"This strike, I sacrifice Heaven! I sacrifice Earth! I sacrifice my kin! I sacrifice myself!"

A voice filled with overwhelming killing intent echoed in Jiang Ping's ears.

Jiang Ping's composed expression finally faltered. In his eyes, the Ant King had disappeared. The Ant King was indeed ruthless.

To slay him, he not only sacrificed heaven and earth, and his kin, but also himself!

Of course, the Ant King was not seeking death. As long as the Creation God fell, all fortunes would be within his grasp.

He could easily recover and even devour the Creation God's body, replacing him to become the supreme deity of the world!

Spatial rifts frequently appeared, with chaotic currents surging out, and the earth continuously collapsing.

Boom!

Ten thousand volcanoes erupted simultaneously, spewing forth rolling, fiery magma.

Whoosh!

Gigantic tsunamis crashed against the continent, causing the continental plates to sway like small boats before being submerged by the dark sea in an instant!

Crack!

The world's barrier showed cracks, and the chaotic energies from the outside surged in, beginning to assimilate the entire Primordial World!

The Ant King's strike had inverted heaven and earth, making the sun and moon lose their luster!

The entire world entered an apocalypse, as if it would return to chaos in the next moment!

Kill!

The Ant King's figure completely vanished from heaven and earth, leaving only a blood-red God-Slaying Spear charging directly at the Creation God's brow! This strike was like a blood-red demonic star crashing into the earth!

It left an indelible blood-red trajectory across the sky, the spear tip pointed directly at the deity's brow!

Clang!

Jiang Ping's expression was solemn as he extended two fingers to gently pinch the blood-red spear at his brow.

This strike was like a gazelle's horn, or a majestic elephant crossing a river – leaving no trace yet being profoundly skillful.

It was clearly the most ordinary, most mundane strike, yet it stopped the blood-red God-Slaying Spear from advancing even an inch!

"H-how is this possible?"

The Ant King's shocked roar echoed from the divine spear. To be caught by just two fingers after his lifelong ultimate attack?

"Not bad."

Jiang Ping spoke, evaluating the Ant King's ultimate attack. He had only been playing around moments ago; a slight increase in seriousness would be enough to drive the Ant King to despair.

However, it was truly not easy to force even a sliver of seriousness from Jiang Ping with this attack!

"How is this possible!"

A heaven-shattering roar echoed through the world as the blood-red God-Slaying Spear surged again!

Sizzle!

The entire divine spear transformed into a drill, continuously attacking Jiang Ping, attempting to break free from the restraint of his two fingers!

Die, die, die!

The killing intent emanating from the divine spear was something even Jiang Ping could easily sense. At this moment, the God-Slaying Spear was not only a thousand feet long, but its entire blood-red color had deepened, becoming scarlet!

Jiang Ping could even smell wisps of blood.

The scarlet divine spear manifested streaks of black runes, and these runes combined to form the Ant King's body!

Spear and body united, the tip of the spear was the Ant King's crimson Divine Fire at its brow!

The Ant King refused to accept defeat!

Even if it meant being shattered into pieces, it would make this Overgod pay a price!

"It's over."

Jiang Ping said calmly, releasing the God-Slaying Spear with his two fingers. The Ant King rejoiced, and the God-Slaying Spear pointed at the Creation God's brow, thrusting forward!

An extinction-level strike, capable of destroying the soul!

However, what appeared in the Ant King's consciousness was a sky-piercing giant pillar!

Jiang Ping's divine body seemed to grow even larger. The vast Primordial World could no longer contain his true form. He extended a single index finger and struck directly at the God-Slaying Spear!

A dimensional reduction strike!

The sky was obscured, and the earth was split into two. The Primordial World itself seemed to be torn apart by this single finger!

The God-Slaying Spear, brimming with killing intent, instantly halted.

Boom!

A heaven-shattering explosion sounded. The scarlet divine spear was shattered by the single finger, and then, starting from the tip, its blood-red color began to fade, returning to its original silver hue before dissolving into ten thousand strands of dust that scattered in the wind.

The Ant King's towering figure reappeared in the world. Gazing at the immense figure that the world could not contain, he couldn't help but mock himself.

"So, 'slaying gods' was just a joke! Hahaha!"

His laughter spread throughout the world. At the altar, the surviving Devouring Ants stared blankly at their strongest king.

The Ant King cast a resentful glance at his kin, his towering body beginning to decompose, finally transforming into countless brilliant points of light and disappearing forever from heaven and earth.

Born in battle, died in battle.

This king, who had created countless mythical miracles, ultimately perished in a fierce battle, just like the enemies he had killed.

All his methods, his lifelong power unleashed in an extinction-level strike, could not harm the true god in the slightest.

As the Ant King dissipated, he suddenly thought of Gai Feng from a thousand years ago, realizing that he must have died with the same regret.

Jiang Ping shrunk his divine body, reappearing within the Primordial World. He looked down at all things below.

At a glance, the land was blood-soaked and violently shaken, with tsunamis raging.

The air was filled with the stench of death, the world's barriers were riddled with holes, and chaos from the outside was constantly invading.

"King! How could you leave us like this!"

The surviving Ant Queens wailed, chasing after the scattered points of light, desperately trying to retain any trace of the peerless demon king's life force.

The heavily injured Ant Tribe Heroes also couldn't help but grieve. In the world war, each of them had slain tens of millions of creatures and annihilated countless races, yet now they cried like young cubs.

There were even some unyielding Ant Tribe Heroes who raised their weapons and attacked Jiang Ping.

The Ant King's prestige was too great. In the hearts of the Devouring Ants, the Ant King surpassed their creator!

Jiang Ping casually lifted a foot and, with a snap, crushed the little one who had provoked him.

There were still tens of millions of Devouring Ants remaining, and these were the most elite of their kind, otherwise, they wouldn't have survived the great world sacrifice.

Especially the hundreds of Ant Queens; as long as they remained, and given time and resources, they could create another swarm of Devouring Ants within a century.

In fact, these were the only remaining creatures in the Primordial World, as all other life forms had been slaughtered and completely consumed by them!

The Devouring Ants looked at the ten-thousand-foot-tall Creation God with caution and reverence, no longer daring to provoke him foolishly.

As the Ant Queens began to bow their heads in submission, the Ant Tribe Heroes also started to kneel and beg for mercy.

Jiang Ping glanced at the Devouring Ants beneath his feet.

"All living beings must ultimately take responsibility for their actions!"
