Chapter 435: Chapter 434: God’s Tomb Cemetery, Bombing the Garden
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Wina, who was originally a six-winged angel, was truly extraordinary. She easily absorbed a set of God Bones and eleven Upper God Patterns.
Meanwhile, Liu Sisi and the others were still struggling to fully digest even the Middle God Patterns.
Still, they weren’t in a hurry to progress.
They rested when they needed to and absorbed spiritual energies when the time was ripe.
A day passed.
Li Jing successfully concealed the rules that allowed the birth of angels and innate gods in the Little Universe, and through his authority as the Creator, he gained much insight into the nature of these rules.
This understanding was unlike the effects of his status bar’s power-ups.
This time, the knowledge was personally gained by him and thus was much deeper.
Having concealed two rules, Li Jing didn’t rush back to the Fragmented Space.
Even though Wina had already digested the eleven Upper God Patterns he had given her and smoothly ascended to the Upper God, she was still unable to control the vast power increase efficiently, she needed time to get familiar with it.
At dusk.
Wina’s star-like eyes were half-closed. She was enveloped and levitated in front of Consonance Heart by an indescribable force.
Li Jing, standing on the ground, looked up and watched.
At this point, Wina was a bona fide Upper God.
The powerful aura exuding from her was heart-stopping.
In her original form, her health bar, which was originally at 13454, had shot up to 16668.
This health capacity had far surpassed the Tenth Realm.
According to the rule of alien species, where the health bar increases by 1500 for each realm, her strength had reached the Twelfth Realm.
The Twelfth Realm.
This was a realm that did not exist in the conventional classification of realms in the world.
Upon seeing such a health bar, Li Jing narrowed his eyes.
Wina’s health bar clearly signaled to him that there were more profound levels beyond the Tenth Realm.
He had had suspicions about this before.
But seeing was believing.
Now, looking at the 898235 essence sources displayed behind Wina’s health bar, Li Jing couldn’t help but be envious.
Nearly nine hundred thousand essence sources.
If he could kill her, it would be more than a lower god and two god envoys combined that he had planned to conquer outside...
Of course.
Li Jing was only momentarily covetous of Wina’s resources, he would never actually strike her.
Although Wina, as an innate god born into this Little Universe, was completely under his control in terms of life and power, she was his prized asset that he had painstakingly raised. He couldn’t just slay her.
Through Wina, Li Jing also grasped a fact.
The so-called gods were genuinely inferior to the Orthodox Immortality Cultivators.
The Orthodox Immortality Path touched the rules at the Ninth Realm.
This threshold was high, but once they entered the Ninth Realm, as long as they had enough opportunities and talent, they could fully control various rules.
At this point.
Even though Wina had become an Upper God, the only authority she had control over was the power of space. She did not possess the power of any other rules within her.
The only praiseworthy thing was.
Accompanying her ascension as a god, Wina’s control over the spatial authority had become incredibly terrifying.
At this point, she was merely suspended there, getting familiar with the surge of power within her.
The surrounding space was constantly distorting.
At this moment, anything that touched her would be devoured and torn apart by the twisting, and then annihilated under the powerful rule of space.
Even with his understanding of space brought about by Reverse Space, Li Jing could not guarantee that he would escape from this force unscathed.
From this point of view.
Gods are indeed convenient beings.
The Authority and God’s Position are inherent.
Just as he was sighing, the constantly distorting space around Wina gradually quieted down. She slowly opened her starry eyes and looked down at him.
Meeting her calm gaze, Li Jing felt considerable pressure.
Wina clearly knew that she was now fundamentally different.
Although a certain someone could control her life and death, in terms of power, she had surpassed him by several levels, becoming an existence he could only look up to.
With her keen observation powers after becoming an Upper God, Wina noticed that Li Jing had stiffened under her gaze. A smile of slight satisfaction spread across her face.
"Do you regret it now?"
"..."
Li Jing remained silent, then raised his hand to snap his fingers lightly.
Wina’s face paled instantly.
At the moment his fingers snapped.
Her ethereal demeanor vanished instantly, as all the power and aura within her were completely dissipated.
Without the support of her powers, how could she float in the sky?
"Ah!"
With a miserable cry, Wina tumbled down from the sky, landing on her butt with a "plop."
Her posture...
Was as embarrassing as it could get.
The dignity and prestige of an Upper God were shattered in this moment.
Fortunately, she wasn’t flying too high.
And the altitude provided enough cushion.
Otherwise, she would have landed flat on her face.
Looking up with a frustrated expression, Wina was fuming but didn’t dare to lose her temper.
She knew that Li Jing could easily destroy her, but she had not expected him to do it so lightly.
And as she harbored her silent rage, Li Jing’s calm voice rang out.
"Consider this a lesson."
In his words, the power dissipated from Wina’s body was restored.
For a moment, she felt that she could be herself again.
But when she thought of the fact that Li Jing was the creator of this world, and that she, having transformed here, was essentially his creation, she couldn’t help feeling disheartened again.
A chance for independence seemed impossible in this lifetime.
With a quiet sigh, Wina got up, brushed the dust off the front of her chest, and knelt on one knee.
"Master, I won’t dare next time."
"That’s fine, if you want to float above my head in a dress, looking into my eyes, I don’t mind."
Li Jing said nonchalantly.
"..."
Wina.
What Li Jing said was completely off with her, leaving her a bit confused on the spot.
This move of Li Jing was somehow meant to teach her a lesson.
But he didn’t say it openly, instead, he teased her.
Silently getting up, Wina thought it necessary to regain some face and said blankly.
"I am now your possession, Master. You can look if you want. Besides, hasn’t everything that can be seen already been seen by you?"
As she spoke, she showed a hint of allure and amusement.
"If you need me, Master, I don’t mind giving you my body, after all, there’s no way I can resist."
Hearing this, Li Jing rolled his eyes and said,
"Enough, stop messing around. Since you have achieved Superior God, we should go and find the Supreme God Pattern soon. Restrain your power a little. In the War Worship God System Realm in your current state, it will inevitably attract heavenly punishment."
Hearing his words, Wina pouted unwillingly.
Even she herself didn’t realize the changes in her after becoming a god.
As a six-winged angel, she didn’t have any emotions.
Shame, competitiveness and the like, had no relation to her.
Now, she had them.
All these changes occurred subtly.
Not speaking of the previous situation where she wanted to regain face, even a day ago when she had just achieved the Lower God status,
In the past, she wouldn’t bat an eye standing naked in front of Li Jing.
Leaving all these things aside,
Seeing that Li Jing was preparing to return to the War Worship God System Realm, Wina silently sealed most of her power within her body.
Everything else didn’t matter.
Having finally achieved Superior God, there was a chance to achieve the Supreme God, and she didn’t want to be killed by a bolt from the blue for no reason.
This self-imposed seal did not change Wina’s health bar above her head.
However, her unmatched power around her had fallen to the level of the Eighth Realm, and Li Jing could easily feel this.
Seeing this, Li Jing didn’t hesitate and took Wina out of the Little Universe.
...
Spatial displacement.
The two returned to the Fragmented Space.
A whole day has passed in the outside world, with no sight of the various armies.
After looking around, Wina spoke.
"Master, we still have some time left, do we go directly to the last line of defense of the War Worship God System or...?"
"Go straight there, so as not to miss anything."
Li Jing said, then held out his hand and said,
"With your current strength, you can’t fly too fast through space, and rashly using your Authority would easily attract the attention of Alicia and others. Show me the way, I’ll take you."
"Okay."
Wina nodded, obediently placing her soft and boneless hand in his palm.
Seeing this, Li Jing unleashed the Silent Shadow, and with a movement of his body, he turned into a bolt of lightning with her and shot out.
...
There was no need to mention Li Jing’s speed of flight through space.
In less than half an hour, he successfully caught up with the massive army that had been advancing for a full day.
However, he had no interest in them.
Without a moment’s pause, Li Jing directly led Wina further in.
In the blink of an eye, another half-hour went by.
Wina said,
"Master, we’re near. I can sense the aura of the Twilight of the Gods."
"Twilight of the Gods?"
Li Jing turned his head.
"When a clan of gods is extinguished, the place where the last person in the clan sleeps will form the phenomenon of the Twilight of the Gods."
Wina explained,
"As a human, you can’t sense this supernatural phenomenon, only gods have the ability to perceive it."
After saying that, she continued,
"I can feel that the scale of the Twilight of the Gods ahead is quite large, so it is likely that the last member of the War Worship God Clan who died was a Su..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a huge tomb appeared in the far distance.
Seeing the tomb, Wina was slightly stunned and exclaimed in surprise,
"This... how is it possible? Is it the God’s Tomb Cemetery?!"
Upon hearing her words, Li Jing frowned and asked,
"What’s special about this God’s Tomb Cemetery?"
"There are various manifestations of the Twilight of the Gods, and the God’s Tomb is the most special kind among them."
Wina explained,
"The God’s Tomb is formed where more than a thousand gods have perished at once, causing the extinction of their lineage."
"You mean, there are at least a thousand God Patterns here?"
Li Jing raised an eyebrow.
"Theoretically, you are correct."
Wina said,
"But, Master, this trip of ours might not be as smooth as expected. The formation of the God’s Tomb consumes a huge amount of God Patterns. With such a scale, it’s uncertain how many are left."
After saying this, she added,
"There is another issue, the presence of the God’s Tomb implies that the souls of the last batch of gods who died are still present. Their combat abilities are far inferior to when they were alive, but they are not easy to deal with."
Hearing this, Li Jing’s eyes lit up.
The presence of the God’s Tomb implies that the souls of the last batch of gods who died are still present?
This...
Is something to be excited about, right?!
God Souls, unquestionably, belong to the Alien Species.
If they could be "transcended" in one shot...
Without any hesitation, Li Jing speeds up.
???
Wina.
She believed she explained things very clearly.
The existence of God’s Tomb implies that, while many God Patterns would be consumed, the God Souls of gods would remain.
They are very strong and difficult to deal with.
Why was Li Jing acting with such recklessness, as though he was excited?
Before she could even grasp the situation, Li Jing had already brought them close to the enormous mausoleum.
An invisible force formed an obstruction, causing the two, who were transformed into flashes of lightning, to feel like they had plunged into a mudflat, unable to move forward.
Upon encountering such circumstances, Wina quickly let out a warning.
"Master, you can’t forcefully invade the God’s Tomb. You have to enter through the main entrance of the cemetery and not use Sky Control, otherwise you’ll awaken all the God Souls inside."
Facing the invisible opposition, Li Jing immediately realizes there are special "rules" in God’s Tomb.
Hearing Wina speak up, his eyes started to shine brighter.
"Is that so?"
???
Wina.
A good thing?
This...
She was certain he wasn’t talking about entering the God’s Tomb through the main entrance and not using Sky Control, right?
Before she could react, Li Jing, who had ceased to use his concealment, waved his hand and brought out the Flying Sword Blue Edge.
"Ten Thousand Remnants Absolute Shadow."
"Clang!"
A crisp sword whistle echoed as the Flying Sword Blue Edge shot up into the sky, splitting into ten thousand sword shadows under the night sky in an instant.
"Sky Sword!"
With a rebuke.
All of the sword shadows together shot up, each one reaching a terrifying height of ten thousand meters.
"..."
Wina.
Li Jing’s move was overly dramatic.
But also quite intimidating.
An Upper God like Wina dared not belittle it.
To resist such a move, she would have to use at least thirty percent of her power.
But using so much power would inevitably invite Heavenly Punishment.
If it were the her who was still the Messenger of the God’s Descent, even if her real body was awakened, she wouldn’t stand a chance against such an attack. She would be wiped out without any ability to resist or defend.
But this, is not the point.
The point is.
Li Jing’s sudden move clearly intended to make a hole in the God’s Tomb!
"Master!"
Wina cried out in shock.
Before she could shout "Don’t!" the ten thousand sword shadows dropped down.
Just based on raw power.
Although the Sky Sword formed by the Ten Thousand Remnants Absolute Shadows is less powerful than a pure Sky Sword,
it wins in terms of numbers.
Exhibited by Li Jing with his cultivation at the Ninth Realm and the divine might of the Level Eight Immortal Artifact, the Flying Sword Blue Edge, how terrifying would such power be?
"Boom boom boom!"
As the ten thousand sword shadows descended, they were blocked by an invisible force and exploded one by one. The sharp sword intent and the terrifying explosions made the entire world tremble. The invisible force covering the God’s Tomb was torn apart.
In an instant, Wina was dumbfounded.
Encountering God’s Tomb, unless one is an Upper God in his prime, one wouldn’t dare to provoke it recklessly.
Li Jing, on the contrary, had not only provoked them, he had bombed the God’s Tomb itself!
The force covering the God’s Tomb, in addition to serving as an obstruction, was also a seal.
It was this seal that imprisoned the God Souls left by the gods after their death, restricting them within the cemetery.
With the seal exploded open, the limitations of the God’s Tomb naturally disappear.
"Master, we’d better run now!"
Without hesitation, Wina grabbed Li Jing’s hand.
But before she could even use her strength, Li Jing "tchs-ed" and shook her off.
"Don’t get in the way!"
"..."
Wina.
Just then.
Countless chilling wails of ghosts and wolves echoed from the God’s Tomb.
One after another, the towering tombstones in the cemetery exploded into fragments, and with that, one powerful phantom after another broke out of the ground and swarmed towards them.
On seeing this, Wina almost broke down crying.
At first glance, the God’s Souls, which grouped together like a beehive, are all of at least the Ninth Realm level, and out of them, several strong beings were equivalent to inferior gods in their prime.
What exactly is the concept of an inferior god in its prime?
She could deal with these; it wouldn’t be a problem.
But she wouldn’t dare to undo the seal inside her body!
This is the end!
We are doomed!
Wina is in a panic.
However, Li Jing, looking at the sky full of God Souls, has a glint in his eyes.
The God Souls surging towards the sky were far from just a thousand.
Putting aside their bottom-line health bar of 12,000, each God Soul had an Essence Source displayed behind its health bar.
Possibly due to the God Soul, not many had high Essence Source values.
But at least they all had several hundreds to thousands.
Such a large batch, must not be missed!
"Linglong, Smoke Eye, let’s get into a fight!"
At his command,
Linglong and Smoke Eye appeared on either side of Li Jing.
At the same time,
A sharp sword light descended from the sky, shattering a few souls of the Ninth Realm who were leading the charge.
Upon seeing this, Wina instinctively looked up.
In the sky, Spirit Weapon Qingfeng revealed his figure, holding the Flying Sword Blue Edge with a cold stern face. The excitement concealed in the depth of his eyes turned into a ray of cold sword light, aimed at the divine tomb below.
?
Wina slowly put out a question mark.
This one...
Where could he come from?
Why does it seem that he is stronger than she was when she was the God Envoy?
After stemming out the spirit weapon Qingfeng, the now discernible Linglong, who was not to be outdone, picked up her own body. With a baby voice, she scolded and then threw her essence body out.
"Kill!"
The Pagoda flew out of her hand, instantly turning into a golden light. It shot up to the sky and transformed into a sun-eclipsing pagoda, ruthlessly landing in the middle of the God’s Tomb.
"Boom!"
The entire God’s Tomb trembled three times.
Tens of god souls whose strength was comparable to the Ninth Realm were crushed directly.
Seeing this, Wina’s mouth was wide open in an ’O’ shape.
This little girl is terrifyingly fierce...
She just appeared next to Li Jing, was she in the Little Universe before?
Wait!
It seems she is not a human but a Spirit Weapon?
Staring at Linglong, who had run to retrieve her Pagoda, Wina couldn’t help but watch the Qingfeng who had entered a fight with a group of god souls, as easily as a tiger in a lamb flock. Every time he strikes a sword, he would surely shred a god soul.
This one...
Seems to be a Spirit Weapon too?
Spirit Weapons...
Why are they this fierce?
While she was in a daze, Smoke Eye, who was perfectly hiding all her aura beside Li Jing, subtly raised her hand.
In a moment, she produced several handprints.
"Qingyuan’s Mysterious Skill, Water Spirit plunging into the world."
Along with a faint scolding, a flood formed from condensed water-attribute spiritual Qi swiftly engulfed dozens of god souls of the Tenth Realm.
The rules of water were triggered.
A purifying outlook emerged from within the flood.
The god souls that were swallowed by the flood instantly turned into a stream of clear air, purified until there was not even a residue left.
Seeing this, Wina’s eyes almost popped out.
This...
What kind of technique is this?
The authority of water does have some purifying effects.
But it’s not as exaggerated as this!
The 15-16 year old girl next to Li Jing, who only had the strength of the Ninth Realm and had not achieved the god status, even though she controlled the authority of water, she shouldn’t be able to exert much power.
And this one...
Why does she seem to be a Spirit Weapon and not a human?
Observing the situation before her, Wina was somewhat unable to comprehend.
At the same time, she felt somewhat redundant.
Three spirit weapons including Qingfeng were violently fighting, slaughtering god souls as if it was as easy as killing a chicken, even easily crossing realms. If she wanted to help, it might not be as easy.
Seeing these three fighting with the swarming god souls, Wina raised her hand.
Before her, the situation was completely dominated by one side.
But the three had not appeared to collide with the souls of lower gods, and they were deliberately avoiding it, showing some caution.
Under such circumstances, she couldn’t just stand by and watch.
Coordinating with the three to clear out the Ninth and Tenth Realm’s god souls, before joining forces to fight the god souls at the God’s Descent, might give them a chance of survival.
Just as she was about to act, Li Jing looked back at her calmly.
"Stay put. This has nothing to do with you."
???
Wina.
I have nothing to do with this?
Am I not part of the fighting force?
On the other hand,
Li Jing’s eyes were electric, and he raised his hand to activate the seal.
Next second,
All the colors between the heaven and earth changed. The terrifying might of the heavens slowly descended upon the world.
Feeling the heavenly might, Wina trembled all over, raising her head in astonishment.
God Incantation?
No.
It seems like a Forbidden Skill from the East.
So...
Why do I feel the power of heavenly punishment?
...
