Chapter 447: A Clean Sweep

Seeing Blade Slaughter make his move, the Deities instantly roared in fury.

'There are so many of us, yet he's all alone and acting so arrogant!'

Despite this, their faces remained etched with extreme caution.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The auras of these Deities erupted completely.

Li Yang watched, taking in the sight of all the Deities.

'Just how strong is my teacher?' Li Yang couldn't help but wonder.

Their side had only the Blade Slaughter Sect Master, while Luoyu had nearly a hundred Deities! There were even over a dozen Four-Element Deities among them. Such a force could not be underestimated anywhere.

But now, these nearly one hundred Deities faced the Blade Slaughter Sect Master alone, yet they were incredibly wary. Each one looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, not daring to relax for a moment.

To make nearly a hundred Deities wary with his power alone—this was Blade Slaughter!

WOOOOOM...

The powerful experts roared, and a massive membrane materialized before them, shielding them securely.

With so many experts combining their power, the might of this membrane definitely reached the level of a Five-Element Deity, perhaps even surpassing it.

"Haha, you think you can stop me just because there are a lot of you?" the Blade Slaughter Sect Master laughed heartily.

He gripped the battle blade in his hand. At that moment, the blade's light finally condensed, a colossal saber glint that stretched across the sky, blanketing the entire world.

In the surrounding void, cracks appeared one after another. Destructive currents even began to seep out, a testament to the attack's immense power!

"Blade Annihilation!" The Blade Slaughter Sect Master gripped his battle blade and, under the gazes of everyone present, finally slashed down.

The instant the saber glint fell, the entire world seemed to shatter, completely unable to withstand the attack. A rift tore open directly in the sky, following the path of the descending blade!

Countless destructive currents poured down from this rift like a waterfall, a sight both shocking and spectacular.

Then, the saber glint finally made contact with the membrane.

'Can we block it?' Luoyu and the other Deities were all exerting their full power, watching the saber glint slash down.

A powerful attack versus the mighty defense of nearly a hundred combined Deities—which would prevail?

Luoyu and the many Deities watched, and so did Li Yang.

And at the very instant the saber glint and the defense met...

CRACK!

A crisp sound seemed to ring out as a crack appeared on the massive defensive membrane. The crack then began to spread rapidly, covering the entire membrane in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after, the defensive membrane formed by the combined power of nearly a hundred Deities completely collapsed, shattering into countless fragments before vanishing.

"What? Our defensive membrane was shattered?"

"How is that possible? Not even a Five-Element Deity should be able to break through that membrane!"

Seeing this, the faces of the Deities all changed drastically.

'The membrane was shattered?'

Li Yang watched as the membrane was directly shattered by the saber glint, his heart pounding with excitement.

'Teacher is so strong!'

That was the combined defensive membrane of nearly a hundred Deities, yet it couldn't withstand a single attack from the Blade Slaughter Sect Master!

Li Yang's heart was filled with excitement, shock, and longing.

'I wonder when my strength will reach my teacher's level?'

So many Deities, and even united they were no match for Blade Slaughter!

Defeating a hundred powerful Deities single-handedly—this was a true top-tier expert!

Beside him, Hei Xu said with great excitement, "Li Yang, your teacher, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master, is an absolute king of the Divine Realm! An existence like him stands at the very pinnacle of the Divine Realm, not far from an Emperor. He can completely sweep away other Deities."

A king of the Divine Realm. These are the most powerful Deities. The appearance of even one strikes fear into the hearts of countless others. For them, killing other Deities is an instant kill!

While Li Yang was excited and thrilled, Luoyu's expression was extremely ugly.

'Damn it, how is the Blade Slaughter Sect Master so strong?'

This was exactly the kind of strength he craved.

Previously, he had coveted the Gold-devouring Insect because he believed that with it, his deterrent power among Deities would make him an invincible king.

In reality, even if he had the Gold-devouring Insect, he would still be no match for an expert like the Blade Slaughter Sect Master, who had become a king of the Divine Realm purely through his own power.

Because the Blade Slaughter Sect Master could withstand the Gold-devouring Insect's attacks head-on and then capture him!

"Luoyu, stand aside. You can't stop me," the Blade Slaughter Sect Master said coolly after shattering the membrane.

Hearing this, Luoyu retorted angrily, "Blade Slaughter Sect Master, don't go too far! I am of the Zun Lie Clan, and these Deities serve under my ancestor. Do you dare to attack us?"

His words carried a veiled threat.

Faced with Luoyu's threat, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master was completely unfazed. "Haha, I have great respect for Zun Lie Venerable, but this is my disciple's territory. You are the ones who have broken the rules."

As he spoke, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master swung his battle blade, and a saber glint shot directly toward a group of them.

There were over thirty Deities in that spot.

"Fall back, fall back now!"

Feeling the power of the saber glint, the thirty-odd Deities revealed expressions of utter horror. They felt a heart-stopping terror from the attack.

Despite this, a few Deities were too slow to dodge and were struck by the aftershock of the saber glint.

"PFFT!" "PFFT!"

The faces of these few Deities turned pale as they spewed mouthfuls of blood, their bodies sent flying backward.

Merely the aftershock was enough to injure these Deities.

Another saber glint shot out. In another spot, the faces of several Four-Element Deities changed drastically. Not daring to resist, they fled at top speed.

A Five-Element Deity has comprehended one more law than a Four-Element Deity, so theoretically, their strength should be ten times greater. However, not every Five-Element Deity can be called a king among Deities.

Strength is not only related to one's realm, but also to various other factors. For example, mastering powerful attacks certainly makes one stronger. Possessing special means of enhancing strength, such as an Evil Qi domain, can also boost one's power!

But a king of the Divine Realm possesses all of these—mastered attacks, various other strength-enhancing methods, and so on—and all at a top-tier level. Their strength is far greater than that of an ordinary Five-Element Deity. One can only imagine how terrifying such an expert is!

A clean sweep! At this moment, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master moved as if through an unguarded land.

'Damn it!'

A grim look filled Luoyu's eyes. The Blade Slaughter Sect Master had arrived so suddenly, and his strength was too immense. Their Deities were no match for him at all.

'What do I do? What do I do? We're no match for him. The Blade Slaughter Sect Master will definitely be able to get close to the sun, and then he'll see the creature inside.'

His greatest fear was the discovery of the terrifying creature within the sun.

But now, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as their encampment was destroyed and the sun was completely exposed.
