Su You's shadow loomed like a dark cloud high above. Humu Divine Lord and his sword seemed insignificant in comparison. Yet, even this insignificant mortal had accomplished something countless others dared not even think of.
Deicide.
"Perhaps you still don't know the true nature of my Dao. Then I'll tell you now."
The "protect" character before Humu Divine Lord had transformed into golden light shields, completely protecting him. While the incoming abyssal icy flames could quickly corrode the shields, with the presence of the "protect" character, each time a shield was eroded, another would instantly regenerate, completely filling the gap in his defense.
With just one simple word, he had withstood the attack of the most powerful immortal flame!
Ming Qi was completely speechless. The difference between those who had comprehended the Dao and those who hadn't was so vast. If it weren't for this unexpected revelation, it would have taken him an unfathomable amount of time to realize it on his own.
While secretly rejoicing, Ming Qi was also curious about the true Dao of the powerful Humu Divine Lord. Challenging a deity was beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
Condensing a divine seal, creating a divine city, and possessing both a divine city and a divine seal, a deity possesses an absolute advantage even over cultivators of the same realm.
"I have no interest in knowing your Dao, but you have now thoroughly angered me, and you must pay the price!"
As a lofty deity, Su You was accustomed to looking down upon all living beings from above. In his eyes, any mortal being was but a mere ant. Mundane ants were only entitled to look up and worship the gods, so how could they dare even think of disrespecting them?
Any mortal being who dared to disrespect the gods or commit acts of blasphemy would be punished by divine will.
Facing Su You's wrath, Lord Humu remained remarkably calm. The blood-red word "Zhu" (punishment) before him shone with a terrifying rainbow glow. Strands of blood, as thin as hair, gradually formed a blood-red vortex in front of him. A hurricane as thick as a thumb rose from the vortex.
"My path is to kill gods. You've lived long enough, perhaps you've heard of it."
"Arrogant! The path of killing gods was long ago extinguished in the vast universe. How could it appear here..."
Su You's shadowy figure roared to the sky, his divine might radiating forth. Abyssal icy flames seemed endless. Lord Humu's shield began to show signs of crumbling, but at this point, Lord Humu didn't care whether the shield could hold out, or for how long. His focus was completely focused on the blood-red hurricane emanating from the blood-red vortex.
In just a few breaths, the blood-red hurricane, once only the size of a thumb, grew to the thickness of a bucket and expanded at a visible rate.
Chi…
The Tiger Wood Lord's shield finally began to crack, and a crack began to appear. As the crack appeared, a stream of Abyssal Ice Flame immediately seized the opportunity to penetrate, raging within the shield.
"Once contaminated by the Supreme Immortal Flame, even immortals and gods would be deeply afflicted, unable to be erased. Could it be that the Tiger Wood Lord has become so powerful that he's no longer afraid of the Immortal Flame?"
Seeing the Abyssal Ice Flame already infiltrated the shield, the Tiger Wood Lord showed no intention of exerting his power to expel it. This surprised Ming Qi. If the Supreme Immortal Flame were allowed to unleash its destructive power, even a god like the Tiger Wood Lord would suffer fatal damage.
"Hahahaha, you've been touched by my Immortal Flame. Let's see how long you can hold out!"
Seeing the Tiger Wood Lord's indifference to the Abyssal Ice Flame, Su You couldn't help but laugh. Mortals are still mortals. How could he be so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth? He didn't even know about the Supreme Immortal Flame, and yet he was so arrogant as to claim to kill gods?
From beginning to end, Su You's phantom completely ignored Hu Mu Divine Lord's actions. In his view, any attack methods that a mere mortal could devise through trickery would be completely vulnerable to him, as the gap between them was insurmountable.
Hu Mu Divine Lord remained unfazed by the encroaching celestial flames. His armor began to rapidly dissolve, and even his skin began to ulcerate. Blinding blood slowly dripped through the cracks in his armor.
He remained focused, constantly drawing lines with his longsword against the blood-red hurricane that had transformed into a tornado. Strands of blood intertwined into a brilliant pattern, then completely emptied into the blood-red hurricane.
The giant blue dragon that followed the ice flames had completely surrounded Hu Mu Divine Lord. If his shield was completely breached, it would charge forward fearlessly. Even if it couldn't kill Hu Mu Divine Lord outright, it would easily entangle him.
Until the blood-red hurricane grew as massive as a mountain, Humu Divine Lord flicked his sword, and the previously written word "Zhu" suddenly transformed into two blood-red clouds. The larger cloud formed a streak of blood in the air, flying towards Su You's shadowy figure above the Divine City. The other merged into Humu Divine Lord's sword in a flash of lightning.
Only then did Humu Divine Lord slowly speak: "Su You, you truly are unworthy of being a god. You have no understanding of the way to kill gods. Well, today I will show you the true meaning of the way to kill gods, and you will ultimately become nothing more than an embellishment on my path to kill gods."
Humu Divine Lord spoke slowly, but his tone remained steady. The raging ice flames did not disturb his resolve at all!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Humu suddenly raised his sword high, pointed it at the distant shadow of Su You, and shouted, "Azure God Su You, today is your death!"
Lord Humu's cry shook the earth. Before he even finished speaking, the sword in his hand transformed into a streak of blood-red light and flew towards Su You's shadow. Its speed was as fleeting as a meteor, swift and unstoppable.
At this moment, even Ming Qi, a bystander, could not grasp the sword's trajectory.
As Lord Humu's sword flew out, the long-simmering blood-red hurricane suddenly roared like an ancient beast, tearing apart the world. Then, with incredible swiftness, it followed the sword's path and pounced upon the Azure God Su You's divine city.
Since the day Su You condensed his divine seal and created the divine city, the Azure God City has remained unchanged, untouched by the slightest damage.
To this day, Su You absolutely refused to believe that a mere mortal could breach the impenetrable azure divine city.
Observing Lord Humu's series of movements, Su You's shadowy figure simply clasped his hands together, then separated them. Vast swathes of azure light shot forth from all directions of the divine city, charging into the void.
Though Ming Qi had no idea what lay beyond, he was certain that Su You's attack was intended to ward off the blood-red hurricane. From the visuals, it was clear that the blood-red hurricane Lord Humu had brewed had transcended the barriers of time and space, defying these iron laws completely!
Swish…
The sound of space tearing continued, and the entire scene began to tremble.
