High in the sky, Su You laughed heartily: "Let's fight! Just imagine how powerful you, a mere unborn evil god, are. Well, let me put an end to you here today, thus eliminating a future threat for the gods of heaven and earth!"
As Su You spoke, his azure halberd shone brightly, and a circle of blue aura rapidly spread outward from him.
"Okay!"
Lord Humu responded crisply. With a flick of his sword, a blood-red aura permeated the surroundings. The demon god above him suddenly transformed into a brilliant divine light, pouring into the blade of Lord Humu's sword.
Lord Humu's sword gently slashed through the air, and a bright line was immediately outlined.
Seeing this scene, Ming Qi couldn't help but be secretly astonished. Such a casual sword could cut through the void. Such power was no less than that of an ordinary god!
Tiger Wood Lord slashed with his sword, but the attack didn't end. With a flick of his wrist, a blood-red miniature castle swiftly emerged from the void.
Su You was stunned at the sight of the tiny castle appearing out of thin air, but it only lasted a moment. Then, Su You's halberd emanated an infinite amount of blue light, charging towards the small castle outlined by Tiger Wood Lord.
"Huh?"
Ming Qi was stunned, bewildered. The two were so close, and with Su You's strength, he could easily strike Tiger Wood Lord. Why would he pass up such a prime opportunity to attack the castle, now only the size of a fist?
The scene shifted rapidly. After a deafening roar, Su You, halberd in hand, had already retreated several steps, while the castle outlined by Tiger Wood Lord had grown to dozens of meters in height!
Seeing the castle suddenly grow countless times larger, Ming Qi's mouth opened wide, speechless.
"It's too late. You have the foundation of a divine city, how can I not have it?"
Humu Divine Lord smiled and pointed his sword at Su You. The blood-colored castle had already flown behind him, rapidly expanding.
"You directly gave birth to a divine city!"
Seeing this, Su You finally lost his composure.
Being able to directly give birth to a divine city was more than just a simple deity. In terms of sheer strength, Su You was completely outmatched.
"My intuition keeps telling me that I need to adopt some strategy against such shameless people like you."
In the space of a few words, the blood-colored divine city behind Humu Divine Lord had expanded to several miles in radius. In terms of size, it was almost the same as Su You's Azure Divine City, but Humu Divine Lord's blood-colored divine city was still growing rapidly!
"You've been sealing your own strength!"
Su You gritted his teeth.
"You've already seen it, so why bother saying more? My only regret is that I didn't catch more fish. Well, I'll take your divine seal today!"
The blood-red divine city erupted with blood. Nine blood-red pillars of light rose from the city, soaring into the sky. Thousands of red rays of light were then refracted in the air, interweaving into a web, finally converging on the body of the Tiger Wood Divine Lord.
The Tiger Wood Divine Lord's figure swayed, still heading towards Su You's divine city.
After learning of the Tiger Wood Divine Lord's true strength, Su You knew that it was impossible to kill this evil spirit on his own. Even if he escaped a little too late, he might die!
The Divine Evil is the nemesis of all the gods of heaven and earth. The eons of hatred for them within their bloodlines have long since coalesced into Divine Evil True Blood, a force that no deity can resist. No matter how powerful a deity, once tainted by Divine Evil True Blood, their divine seal is immediately compromised. At the very least, their realm regresses, leading to their fall from the altar; at worst, their divine seal collapses, leading to their utter demise!
This time, Lord Humu displayed unparalleled power. Ming Qi only vaguely witnessed a ball of blood rushing towards Suyou's Divine City. The next moment, he saw the Azure Divine City abruptly split in two, then rapidly crumble and shatter!
The Azure Divine City was shattered by Lord Humu's sword!
Ming Qi stared intently at the screen, fearing he would miss a single glimpse.
This level of combat was drastically different from the one he was currently experiencing. Although these were merely scenes from the past, they held immense mysteries. Through them, one might even glimpse the essence of the Dao.
The divine city shattered, and the blue light surrounding Su You immediately faded, his enormous form rapidly shrinking.
The divine city was the foundation of the gods. Once destroyed, their combat effectiveness would immediately decline by at least 30%, and would continue to weaken thereafter. If they failed to promptly find a source of energy to re-condense the divine city, a fall in their realm would be a minor issue, and their divine seal would most likely shatter, sending them plummeting from the nine heavens to the mortal realm.
Su You's reaction was also swift. The moment the divine city shattered, he immediately tore through space and attempted to escape.
"Trying to escape?"
The Tiger Wood God chuckled, pointing his longsword in the direction Su You was escaping through space. The sword flew out of his hand, transforming into a stream of blood-red light and following him.
The void trembled, light burst forth, and in the blink of an eye, Su You tumbled from a void in a state of disarray. Hu Mu Divine Lord's longsword pierced his back squarely.
"You!"
Su You, terrified and furious, turned and attempted to flee again, but at this point, his chances of escape were slim.
Hu Mu Divine Lord stepped into the air and said calmly, "We kill gods like we butcher dogs. It has always been this way. Slay gods, explode..."
The longsword rang out, and a blood-red ripple emanated from it. Su You, at the center of the blood-red ripples, vanished in an instant, leaving only a fist-sized azure bead.
Hu Mu Divine Lord slowly stepped forward, reached out, snatched up the blue bead, examined it, then shook his head and said, "Such a low-level divine seal? Well, it's still a divine seal, so I'll keep it for now."
With a casual throw, Su You's divine seal flew backward, disappearing into the blood-red castle in a flash.
The battle ended there, and Su You, the Azure God, was banished from the fold!
The bloody glow from Hu Mu Divine Lord's body gradually faded, returning to his ordinary state. He extended his hand to recall the blood-red divine city and ascended into the air.
Until Hu Mu Divine Lord's figure completely vanished from the scene, Ming Qi's mind still echoed with Hu Mu Divine Lord's words: "We kill gods like we butcher dogs..."
Ming Qi rubbed his swollen eyes, watching the image in the sky gradually shatter and dissipate.
The battle hadn't actually been long, but it had seemed so terrifying that it seemed prolonged. It wasn't until he felt something pierce him like a needle that he suddenly realized it!
His gaze fixed on the spot where the image had previously stopped, Ming Qi was shocked to discover a blood-red flower the size of a washbasin, slowly descending!
