Ming Qi looked up and saw a towering, blood-red divine figure slowly rising from the Blood-colored Divine City. Clad in a blood-red battle robe and crowned with a divine crown, he held an imposing presence.
This was the Blood God's true form, and Ming Qi was not afraid at all. After possessing the dual paths, his strength had skyrocketed. Although he had never truly battled a god, any powerful being had an assessment of their own strength. At this level, rash actions were unacceptable.
The black and white energies swiftly severed hundreds of divine weapons in the blink of an eye. The slain weapons instantly transformed into wisps of blood energy and returned to the Divine City. These weapons were all formed from divine power, and after merging into the Divine City, they could once again transform into divine weapons for battle.
Now in the void, he was getting closer and closer to the essence of the stars. At this point, Ming Qi no longer had to worry about his star power failing to recover. He immediately unleashed his Star Attraction and charged forward, Fire Emperor Sword in hand.
He didn't intend to give the Blood God any chance to react. Even though he was a deity of his generation, today was the day he would fall.
Ming Qi had just entered the Martial God realm, and his strength might not compare to the already godlike Blood God, but he possessed a dual path, something the Blood God couldn't possess. This improbable ability gave Ming Qi astonishing explosive power, and was the main reason he dared to join the divine war.
Ming Qi rushed forward swiftly, the Fire Emperor Sword gleaming inwardly. When he was still a thousand meters away from the Blood-colored Divine City, his figure suddenly flashed and vanished. The next moment, he reappeared in a corner of the Blood-colored Divine City, the Fire Emperor Sword radiating a burst of light as he slashed down.
The dazzling sword light sliced across the Divine City, slicing through it like a melon or vegetable, instantly slicing off a large chunk.
With a successful strike, Ming Qi quickly retreated several miles.
Cutting off a corner of the Blood God's Divine City was tantamount to completely enraging him, which was precisely Ming Qi's goal. As a deity, he possessed far greater dignity than ordinary humans. Regardless of which side he belonged to, Ming Qi's current move to sever a corner of the Divine City was intended to provoke the Blood God into a furious rage, forcing him to confront Ming Qi head-on.
"Die!"
The Blood God was indeed enraged. His enormous phantom opened and closed his hands, and pillars of blood rose from the Divine City. They then transformed into colossal divine weapons several feet tall. Wielding blood swords and clad in crimson armor, these weapons gathered in mid-air and madly rushed towards Ming Qi.
At the same time, the Blood God's phantom, hovering above the Divine City, struck again. A blood sword suddenly appeared in its hand. The phantom then rapidly lengthened, wielding the blood sword and charging towards Ming Qi.
Ming Qi, without hesitation, grasped the sword in his left hand and extended his right hand to lightly tap the Blood God's phantom through the air.
The Nine Heavens Attracting Stars Art used the Soul-Calming Heavenly Slaying God Finger. With a single thrust of his finger, surging star power surged. Ming Qi hadn't expected this finger to inflict significant damage; his purpose was simply to test the full potential of the God-Slaying Finger against a deity.
Although the God-Slaying Finger had previously proven invincible, its targets were mortals. Now, facing a deity, he needed to use it to gauge whether the Nine Heavens Attracting Stars Art and other immortal arts could be fully utilized in a divine battle.
This finger arrived instantly, and the Blood God's phantom's rapidly slashing blood sword paused in mid-air, lingering for nearly two seconds before striking again.
Seeing this result, Ming Qi was immensely satisfied. Being able to halt a deity's attack for two seconds was enough to determine victory or defeat in battle.
Having verified the effectiveness of the God-Slaying Finger, Ming Qi had a firm grasp of his other magical techniques. However, those were his life-saving measures, meant to turn the tide of a life-or-death battle, and he naturally wouldn't use them lightly.
However, Ming Qi wasn't willing to waste too much time here. A wounded deity now seemed to pose no threat to him.
Thinking of this, Ming Qi didn't attack immediately. Instead, he stepped through the air, his figure flashing and quickly split into four forms. Simultaneously, several brilliant Epiphyllums appeared in the surrounding void.
Although his spirits merged with his martial soul upon reaching the Martial God Realm, his original abilities remained intact. On the contrary, they were enhanced accordingly.
Now, with the blessing of the Star Attraction, Ming Qi's strength had already increased in all aspects. With the added power of the Epiphyllum, his four forms instantly possessed terrifying power.
Summoning these four forms, imbued with the power of the Epiphyllum, he immediately directed them to attack the Blood-Colored Divine City from four different directions.
Previously, in the Land of Heroes, he had witnessed the battle between Lord Tigerwood and the Azure War God. He knew that the divine city was the foundation of all gods. Destroying it meant the deity faced the danger of falling from the altar. Therefore, Ming Qi had undeniably set his sights on the Blood God's divine city.
Four shadowy figures, along with Ming Qi himself, attacked the Blood God's divine city from five directions. They were met by countless divine soldiers. These soldiers showed no fear and would not retreat. Even facing the strongest in the world, they would charge without hesitation.
However, these divine soldiers were ultimately weak. Even the four shadowy figures and the vast army of divine soldiers could only delay their attack by a few seconds.
As the dense swarm of divine soldiers were utterly slain, roars erupted from the Blood God's divine city. Immediately afterwards, a massive blood-red ball of light flew out from the divine city, striking one of the shadowy figures with lightning speed.
The blood-red ball of light exploded upon contact with the shadow, its powerful force shattering it into fragments.
One shadow was destroyed, but Ming Qi remained unfazed, commanding the remaining three, along with his own main body, to furiously attack the Divine City.
Destroy the Divine City, and the enemy will be doomed!
Pieces of Divine City debris continued to fall into the void, and the Blood-Red Divine City finally began to shake.
At this moment, the enormous phantom of the Blood God within the Blood-Red Divine City rapidly shrank, and a figure emerged from it. This figure wore a divine crown, a blood-red battle robe, and wielded a blood-red sword, radiating murderous intent.
Even after seeing the Blood God's main body forced out, Ming Qi remained oblivious and continued his assault on the Divine City.
The Blood God's main body, roughly the size of an ordinary human, was surrounded by layers of blood-red energy. Seeing Ming Qi continue to ignore him, he flew forward in a rage, blood-red sword in hand.
"Mortal, accept death!"
The Blood God roared, and the blood-red longsword erupted with unprecedented brilliance. A hundred-meter-long blood-red blade descended from the sky, sweeping across Ming Qi and the other three figures.
"We're all going to die, why stop talking nonsense!"
Ming Qi sneered, pointing the Fire Emperor Sword into the distance, and a ring of pale flames erupted around him.
As Ming Qi's strength grew, the flames of the Strongest Fire Ring also completely transformed into pale divine fire.
A large shield appeared alongside the Strongest Fire Ring. This was the immortal shield unique to the Seventh Heaven Watcher. Although he and the Blood God were currently evenly matched, Ming Qi did not dare to be complacent.
With the two defensive barriers deployed, Ming Qi no longer held back. The blood beads behind him transformed into streams of light and merged with the Fire Emperor Sword. At the same time, his body boldly charged towards the oncoming Blood God!
