(PS: Uh, the number of chapters was wrong yesterday, but it doesn't affect reading, please forgive me, friends! Lastly, shamelessly asking for subscriptions haha!)
.........
"Moo~~~"
A resounding bellow echoed through the sea, coming from the Barbaric Clan's Man Niu. A thick blood mist sprayed out of his 36,000 pores, slowly enveloping him.
I don't know how much time passed.
Suddenly, the vast Sea of Death God began to tremble violently, the waters distorted, and the blood mist gradually dissipated.
A towering and mighty figure reappeared at the same spot. Although his face still vaguely resembled that of Man Niu, both his aura and overall strength seemed completely transformed.
At this moment, Man Niu had two black horns on top of his head, a rugged skeleton, and stood nearly two zhang tall, looking extremely virile, with arms as thick as other people's thighs.
Standing at the bottom of the sea, his large, bell-like eyes breathed immense divine authority, emitting a robust essence energy!
Though his appearance had changed, he still retained the bloodline of the Barbaric Clan, so it's only appropriate to still call him Man Niu.
Splash...
He turned to survey his surroundings and was just about to stride forward when he suddenly frowned, looking at the blood-red metallic chains tightly coiling around him.
"Hahaha!" Apollo's lips, still smeared with a trace of blood, laughed manically: "Once the Blood Punishment Divine Chain binds a creature, it destroys its vitality, erases its cultivation, and in the end, only waiting... Pugh!"
"Crack!"
While Apollo was still babbling, Man Niu simply pulled with both hands, and then with a fierce shake, Apollo's speech abruptly stopped, and he immediately began coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
The blood-red metallic chains, still being tugged straight by Man Niu, then shattered!
They fell like chunks of blood, breaking into dozens of pieces easily crushed by Man Niu, and the last piece also snapped straight, resembling an arrow soaked in fresh blood for years!
"Whiz!"
This segment of blood-red metal, infused with the power of Man Niu's bloodline, was sharper than a longsword; it instantly cut through the resistance of the sea and pierced Apollo's heart, covered with a splash of crimson blood.
"Splat!"
A large amount of blood splattered, and Sun God Apollo, with his heart pierced, still had a trace of his previous manic expression on his face.
"Oh, you can't handle much, can you!" Man Niu shook his head, looked at Apollo's head for a long moment, and said, "Don't lie to me! Your divine form is intact; this injury isn't enough to kill you. Are you trying to take advantage of my lowered guard to ambush me?"
"Cough cough..." Seemingly having his thoughts exposed, Apollo, from within a groan, regained consciousness. He lightly touched his left chest with one hand, a brilliant golden light flashed, and a baby-fist-sized blood cavity immediately stopped the flowing blood; the next moment, it was as good as new.
"As long as my divine form exists, I am undying! Thinking you can kill me quickly is nothing but a fool's dream!" Apollo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, growling lowly like a cornered beast.
"Oh? I don't have much time either, so let's try killing you within three moves!" Man Niu nonchalantly shrugged,
"Hmph, everyone can talk big, but we'll see who ends up killing whom!" Apollo roared to the sky, and the entire Sea of Death God trembled, stirring up several tornadoes in the waters, sweeping through heaven and earth with overwhelming momentum.
He spread his fingers, and a golden War Spear flew to his hand, buzzing, which was the Thunderbolt Scepter he had seized from the King of Gods, Zeus!
At this moment, blood-red patterns flowed on the scepter, and bursts of thunder trembled crisply and piercingly, making one's heart tremble.
Innate Treasure, Creation Item!
Not far off, Li Qingming noticeably paused, feeling the rich rhythm of the Great Dao and the extremely strong compatibility with the Titan World from this Thunderbolt Scepter.
Of course, since the scepter was sealed by some Divine Skill, rendering it unable to display its true power, it remained an earth-shattering Spiritual Treasure, immensely powerful.
"This Thunderbolt Scepter, left by Father God, possesses boundless might! Let's see how you plan to battle me to death!" Apollo roared angrily, recalling all recent humiliations and intending to reclaim bit by bit.
Man Niu coldly smiled and said, "Just now I only destroyed your Divine Skill and pierced your heart! Now, I'll send you on your way!"
"Die!" Apollo roared, no longer concerned about his own defense, lunging forward with the Thunderbolt Scepter like lightning.
"Buzz!"
Golden runes emerged on Man Niu's skin, manifesting in golden color, now upgraded to Nine Revolutions Nine-Turned Power, making his flesh extremely resilient, impervious to all laws.
At the same time, with a "clang" sound, the Wolf Fang Club, which had been flung somewhere, was summoned back into his hand, emitting a deafening long hum, with protruding sharp auras blasting from it.
"Kill!"
Both simultaneously let out a low roar, transforming into two dazzling rays of light, clashing their Spiritual Treasures together!
The Thunderbolt Scepter was wrapped in a layer of bright lightning, and the giant Wolf Fang Club was also shimmering with a layer of golden light; the two collided, emitting deafening roars.
"Roar!"
With a mighty roar, a western-style golden dragon, entirely enveloped in thunder, burst out from the Thunderbolt scepter. Its huge mouth spewing lightning, it reached out its massive claw toward the Man Niu's top of the skull.
"Hmph, what is this? A giant lizard with wings?" Seeing this, Man Niu chuckled lightly and casually slapped his Wolf Fang Club.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar resounded, and a divine dragon with a body length of nearly a hundred zhang and nine massive claws, beautifully arched, shot out from the Wolf Fang Club.
Its roar was dignified, high-pitched, and bursting with explosive power!
"Shred this reptile!" Man Niu grinned and with his club pointing forward, he remotely targeted the onrushing western-style giant dragon.
"Howl…" The Divine Dragon bellowed, seemingly looking down upon the large, winged lizard. Diving from above the waters, it smashed down upon the giant dragon.
"Rumble!"
The giant dragon was no match for the Divine Dragon and was instantly pulverized into the Infinite Sea Floor, becoming fragments.
In an instant, the sea floor was collapsed by the ferocious power of the Divine Dragon, with rocks, soil layers, and undercurrents all erupting violently.
"You've lost at the first move!" Man Niu laughed heartily, his empty left hand viciously grasping at the Void ahead.
"Swish!"
The nearby waters were all seized by Man Niu, who condensed them into a blue, ethereal Divine Arrow.
"Kui Water Rule Arrow! The stern rule of water, the power of water rules!" From a distance, Yin Xi and Xuan Tian were taken aback and almost blurted out.
"Getting interesting now!" Li Qingming squinting his eyes, chuckled lightly, "These old creatures preserved from the First Epoch really aren't easy to deal with! The stern iron rules, hehe, the stern iron rules!"
...
"You're called Apollo, right? Take my second move!" Man Niu, having formed the Kui Water Rule Arrow in his hand, aimed it at Apollo's head and casually threw it.
"Whoosh!"
Undercurrents at the sea bottom shattered, and rocks and soil layers turned to dust. The area became desolate, with only the sound of the arrow tearing through the waters.
"Not good!"
Sensing the unmatched momentum of the arrow, Apollo's face drastically changed.
He held up the Thunderbolt scepter high, chanting an awkward spell, as Divine Patterns surged out from his mouth, stacking and accumulating in front of him and eventually forming an oval, brilliantly golden light shield, tightly protecting him.
"Boom crack~~~"
Just as the light shield was formed, the eerie blue Kui Water Divine Arrow broke through the sky and struck directly on the shield.
Then, the sound of shattering glass rang out, and the divine pattern light shield couldn't even withstand a moment before turning into scattered light pieces, melting into the pitch-black seawater.
"Puff!"
The Divine Arrow, with an unrivaled force, shattered the defense light shield and penetrated Apollo's skull, laced with red blood and white brain matter, swiftly piercing through, leaving behind a lifeless body collapsing with shock and unwillingness filled in its eyes.
"Shriek!"
A silver radiance flashed between Apollo's eyebrows. A rhombic ice crystal the size of a thumb shot out from the top of his skull, evidently Apollo's Divine Form.
It hurriedly fluttered upwards, abruptly darting toward the camp of Jiang Ziya behind.
"Thinking of running? This is only the second move!" Man Niu sneered disdainfully; he turned his head to look at Li Qingming and said, "Yo, little bro! May I borrow that wooden whip in your hand?"
"By all means, I dare not keep you asking!" Li Qingming's lips cracked into a slight smile as he tossed the antiquated Divine Beating Whip over.
"Hahaha, I like your style!" Catching the simple Divine Beating Whip, Man Niu leaped into the air and lightning-fast intercepted in front of Apollo's Divine Form.
"No, no... Master, save me..." Apollo's Divine Form tried dodging left and right, a panicked psychic wave flashing from the shiny ice crystal.
Jiang Ziya's expression shifted uncertainly, wanting to help but noticing Li Qingming from afar, whose eyes were intently fixed on him.
Unsure of Li Qingming's cultivation level, he dared not make any move.
While Jiang Ziya hesitated, Man Niu on the other side had already roared violently, "Save you? After bullying my son, now you fall into my hands and still expect someone to save you? Let me tell you, even the Heavenly King can't help you!"
Man Niu was straightforward, he didn't give Apollo any more chance to plead, but wielded the Divine Beating Whip with savage fierceness, splitting down.
"Puff!"
A remarkably heavy hit, the seemingly simple Divine Beating Whip, upon contact with Apollo's Divine Form, suddenly glowed brightly. A dazzling burst of seven-colored light shone, and cracks appeared on the Divine Form.
"Ah..."
A ghastly scream came from within the Divine Form; the cracks widened, and it began to tremble irregularly, specks of silver powder scattering silently from the cracks.(To be continued.
