Two top experts were engaged in a shocking battle.
As a result, the Cruiser of Civilization shook back and forth violently. Normally speaking, General Samman couldn’t possibly have been a match for Yang Qi. But he had a seed of truth with the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth in it, giving him indescribable might. It was almost as if Proud Heaven had sent a nascent divinity clone of himself to fight Yang Qi.
Although Yang Qi wasn’t sure how Proud Heaven had acquired the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth, there was no question that it was a pure version.
In fact, it even seemed somewhat purer than Yang Qi’s version.
Snorting coldly, Yang Qi transformed into a beam of dazzling light that stabbed toward General Samman with lightning-like speed. He was using Life-Death Void-Destruction Lightning, which was strong enough to rip an immortal world to shreds, and it began breaking the Battle God Deck apart to the point where the world beyond was once again visible.
“Life-Death Void-Destruction Many-Heavens God-Lightning!” General Samman gasped. “Sorry, not impressed. Check this out: Primal-Chaos Archaean Many-Heavens God-Lightning!”
RUMBLE!
He threw his hands out and numerous globes of primal-chaos vital energy appeared, which battered Yang Qi. As they exploded, they started out as a great dao that then split into the duality of yin and yang. Yin and yang became the four constellations, and the four constellations became the eight trigrams. The eight trigrams produced the sixty-four hexagrams. Each of the sixty-four hexagrams was broken into six lines, and those six lines formed the yin and the yang. It was an enormous, perfect cycle that went on and on.
The attacks slammed into Yang Qi’s Life-Death Void-Destruction God-Lightning and completely smashed through it.
“Many-Heavens God Seal!” Yang Qi suddenly unleashed a huge sealing mark, which looked like an imperial seal, the kind that could establish law and order. It contained a boundless will that instantly vanquished the lightning magic, then closed in directly on General Samman’s head.
A grave expression appeared on General Samman’s face. Taking a deep breath, he said, “So you’ve cultivated the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth to the point of unlocking the Many-Heavens God Seal. Sadly, Magister Proud Heaven’s cultivation base is far more profound than yours, and he’s made much more progress with the technique. God Legion Monarch Crown!”
A crown of what appeared to be thorns and thistles appeared on General Samman’s head, filled with valor, wisdom, strength, endurance, vitality, light, beauty, and hope.
As soon as the crown appeared, Yang Qi’s Many Heavens God Seal was rendered completely immobile.
“Be broken!” General Samman said. All of a sudden, the Spear of Judgement transformed into a bow and an arrow. He nocked the arrow to the bow, then shot it at the Many Heavens God Seal.
Swish!
The seal shattered! The force of the arrow defied imagination, and clearly surpassed anything Yang Qi was currently capable of with his Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth.
“Bow of Chastisement! God-Wrath Arrow!”
General Samman nocked another arrow and took aim at Yang Qi.
Godly vortexes sprang up everywhere around the arrow, accompanied by the howling of souls. All of the energy in heaven and earth seemed to flow into the arrow, which locked onto Yang Qi and made it impossible for him to move.
“Prepare to be shot through! The Bow of Chastisement and the God-Wrath Arrows express the rage of the legion of gods and the punishment of the Lord. Let’s see how you get out of this situation alive!”
WHIZZZ!
In the blink of an eye, the arrow was right in front of Yang Qi. He met it with his finger, and the resulting detonation ripped his God Legion Battle Robe to shreds and damaged his true energy so badly that he was left with only one percent.
‘So strong!’ Yang Qi thought, his eyes flashing. He knew that his Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth wasn’t strong enough to outdo Proud Heaven’s. There was simply no way for him to block the Bow of Chastisement and the God-Wrath Arrows.
“Prepare for punishment, Yang Qi,” General Samman said. Laughing heartily, he continued, “I got these energy arts directly from August Patriarch Proud Heaven’s seed of truth. Not even ten of you combined would be a match for me. Get ready to see how truly mighty I am. Since you’re being so stubborn, I’m going to kill you and drain you of all your power!”
Zip. Zip. Zip. Zip. Zip.
He unleashed a storm of arrows that closed in on Yang Qi with incredible speed.
“Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart!”
Without any hesitation, he drew on his four King Immortal-Slayer’s legacy medallions, opening a passageway inside his own body that led to the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart. Thus, as the arrows hit him, they actually entered the chart and began aimlessly sailing on.
A moment later, Yang Qi was able to use the power of the monarch chart to stop the arrows in mid-flight. A shadowy projection of King Immortal-Slayer appeared, who subsequently began hacking away at them.
POP!
An arrow exploded, turning into power that Yang Qi quickly absorbed and used to push his Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth to a higher level.
One by one, the rest of the arrows exploded, and as he absorbed the true energy, he felt himself improving and growing stronger. In fact, it seemed like he might be reaching the point of another breakthrough.
This true energy was of the same origin and type as his own version of the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth. However, it was slightly different, and as such was profoundly helpful.
Although Yang Qi had been at a disadvantage during the fight moments ago, he’d been building up strength and absorbing true energy. It had been his plan all along. Considering what had happened with the six Warriors of the Great Dance, once General Samman revealed that he had the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth, Yang Qi had known exactly how things would play out.
Apparently, General Samman had no idea that the thousands upon thousands of arrows he launched had actually been taken by Yang Qi. He saw Yang Qi staggering backward, his face pale, looking like he might collapse at any moment. Of course, it was a trick. Yang Qi was feeling stronger than ever.
A vicious smile appeared on General Samman’s face. “Admit defeat, boy. It won’t be a dishonor to die by my hands! I’m going to devour your cultivation base and take that God Legion Seal. Prepare yourself for death!”
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, General Samman unleashed another God-Wrath Arrow with the Bow of Chastisement, and this one was even more powerful than anything before. It was fully a hundred times stronger, and thrummed with might as it closed in on Yang Qi’s chest.
Yet again, Yang Qi opened a passageway to suck in the arrow. However, in that very moment, the arrow stopped moving.
A smile appeared on General Samman’s face. “Block all effects of King Immortal-Slayer’s legacy medallions! God-Wrath Arrow!”
The power of King Immortal-Slayer’s legacy medallions suddenly rose up from deep within the fragment of the Cruiser of Civilization, sending out spatial fluctuations that interfered with the passageway inside Yang Qi and caused it to completely vanish.
Then, the arrow suddenly sped back into motion and slammed into Yang Qi’s chest.
POP!
In the blink of an eye, Yang Qi was impaled on the ground, grievously injured!
Seeing this, General Samman smiled viciously and said, “Yang Qi, did you really think I was unaware that you were secretly absorbing the power of those God-Wrath Arrows? I let you open a path to the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart. Then, in your moment of greatest complacency, I struck with all the power I possess! I was manipulating you the entire time! And now my God-Wrath Arrow is right in your sea of energy, destroying you from the inside out. You can’t use any of the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth now! Everything so far is going according to Magister Proud Heaven’s plan. He’s aware of your vile ambitions to destroy the future world. You can run, and you can hide, but you can never escape Magister Proud Heaven’s control. Now, it’s time for you to die.”
The bow and arrows once again transformed back into the Spear of Judgement, which General Samman launched viciously toward Yang Qi.
“Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth! Sovereign Lord Hurls the Mammoth!”
As the Spear of Judgement shot forth, an image appeared that seemed to be the Sovereign Lord himself lifting a godmammoth high over his head and smashing it to the ground.
Godmammoths were supremely powerful, and designed to crush hells. But sometimes, their inherent nature would be changed by prolonged contact with hells. They could become rebellious, damaging the palaces of the gods and forcing them to flee into primal-chaos. If that happened, the Sovereign Lord would appear, hoist that godmammoth into the air, and crush it. It was called Sovereign Lord Hurls the Mammoth.
Now, General Samman was using that move to hurl his spear directly at Yang Qi, aiming to pierce through his soul and kill him.
SNICK!
The spear stabbed into Yang Qi, causing blood to splatter everywhere as he flopped to the ground.
General Samman burst out laughing, then flew over to Yang Qi’s side. Reaching down, he prepared to detonate Yang Qi’s head and take the God Legion Seal out of him.
A momentous event was just about to occur.
However, even as he reached down, Yang Qi’s body suddenly vanished, leaving behind only the spear.
“What’s going on here?” General Samman said, visibly shocked.
“Did you really think you could trick me?” Yang Qi said as he appeared in the air above General Samman. “I have a piece of the Cruiser of Civilization too. Proud Heaven didn’t plan for that, did he?”
Then the Hand of the One God smashed down onto Samman’s head.
