447: The Final Holy War (Part 1)

"Benefactor, I wonder..."

Chen De's Adam's apple bobbed as he hesitated, wanting to say something.

"I wonder if you'd be willing to give me the Essence?" Myriad Gods laughed heartily after speaking. "Alright, I agree!"

"As long as Benefactor is happy." Chen De also smiled, the blood-red light flickering on his blade growing deeper.

Myriad Gods smiled faintly and walked towards the Essence. "Then I shall not decline."

As he walked, he suddenly stopped and turned back. "But I thought about it, good things should be left for the younger generation. You take it."

"No, no." Chen De quickly waved his hand, a serious expression on his face. "I'm not interested in the Essence at all. Benefactor, you should take it, really."

"Oh." Myriad Gods nodded knowingly, then seemed to make a certain decision. "Never mind, the Essence still..."

Whoosh!

A black and white primordial energy sphere appeared without warning in front of Chen De, then exploded.

But Chen De seemed to have anticipated it, as he had already moved to another spot the moment it exploded, not affected in the slightest.

"Benefactor, what is this..."

This attack made Chen De tremble, his face filled with disbelief and pain.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Myriad Gods scratched his hair, a bit embarrassed.

Horizontal Sweep of the Eight Desolations!

The next moment, another incredibly powerful close-range attack struck towards Chen De.

At the same time, Chen De also threw a punch, meeting it head-on, striking at the blurry black and white figure.

However, even the Innate Saint Qing Li had to treat Myriad Gods's move with caution, and even suffer a setback, if he encountered it.

As soon as they clashed, Chen De was sent flying backward repeatedly.

In mid-air, cracks constantly appeared on his body and then rapidly vanished. As for the arm he used to clash, it was almost shattered.

But in just a blink of an eye, the black liquid in the Evil God Essence took effect, and his arm was restored to its original state.

But then, countless energy spheres surrounded Chen De, rapidly swirling and continuously attacking him.

Vaguely, these energy spheres could unleash various different techniques, bombarding Chen De from all directions.

At the same time, Myriad Gods continued his relentless assault, his short spear gathering power and shooting out.

And so, another powerful and fierce attack assailed Chen De.

"Benefactor, you didn't use this move just now," Chen De interjected, snatching a moment amidst the chaos.

It was too insidious, truly too insidious. Could it be that Benefactor had deliberately held back a few moves just for this moment?

In this critical moment, a normal person would have long been struggling to cope, fleeing in a panic.

However, Chen De did the opposite, advancing instead of retreating.

Ignoring the surrounding energy spheres' encirclement, he suddenly threw a punch to meet the strong attack.

The next moment, the short spear tore through Chen De's fist like a hot knife through butter.

Then, it pierced straight through Chen De's chest, instantly stiffening his entire body.

"Benefactor, you... hid your strength." This sudden change made him look at Myriad Gods in disbelief.

Yes, Myriad Gods had hidden his strength.

Even when he was struggling against Qing Li, the power he unleashed was not his full strength.

There were still many unique martial arts he had created that he hadn't used.

Of course, even if he used all of them, he wouldn't be Qing Li's opponent.

Myriad Gods did not respond.

At this moment, Chen De seemed unable to believe that he was so vulnerable.

He looked down at his fist, the bloody hole shocking to behold.

He then looked at his chest, which had already been pierced through, front to back.

He suddenly decelerated sharply in the air, his body swaying with it.

Then, the power contained within the short spear, acting upon Chen De, erupted.

In just a blink of an eye, the vitality in his body was rapidly annihilated, exploding into countless fragments.

Seeing that Chen De seemed to have been dealt with, Myriad Gods's expression remained calm, and he said faintly, "Come out, I know you're not dead."

There was no response from the scene.

Seeing this, Myriad Gods didn't waste any more words, gathering power and striking at the various fragments left after Chen De's explosion.

However, at the very instant these attacks were about to land.

Those fragments of Chen De that had been annihilated of their vitality and were completely lifeless suddenly moved.

They seemed to turn into liquid, rapidly flowing, concentrating, and coalescing.

Chen De reappeared in the field, exactly as he was, completely unharmed, though his aura was slightly weakened.

But in the next moment, it returned to its peak.

Myriad Gods was incredibly surprised by this. "This, this isn't a substitute divine ability. What kind of move is this?"

At this point, Chen De naturally didn't care about exposing anything.

Now, in the entire Lower Plane, just with the Evil God Essence, he was enough to stand invincible. What else was there to worry about?

On the other side, after his surprise, Myriad Gods also returned to calm. "I didn't expect such a miraculous invention. Speaking of which, I'm quite interested now."

Myriad Gods simply assumed that Chen De's Evil God Essence was just some powerful body technique or martial art.

Just like his Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan, which instantly restored his essence, qi, and spirit to full capacity after use.

If there was a divine ability that could achieve this, Myriad Gods would absolutely believe it.

In fact, if his Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan could be combined with Heaven and Earth Profound Connection, the effect might be even better.

For example, within a certain limit, as long as one didn't die, no matter how severe the injury, they could instantly recover, and their essence, qi, and spirit would always be at full capacity.

Chen De's divine ability was so powerful, it must also have corresponding limitations, just like his, either in terms of uses or time.

"You are indeed formidable." Myriad Gods smiled, praising Chen De without reservation.

"Benefactor is truly formidable, ambushing and exploding me in an instant." Chen De said modestly, his face still bearing that harmless smile, but in the depths of his eyes, the blood-red light grew even denser.

Thick blood seemed to slowly flow in his pupils. Looking closely, they were countless wriggling, fuzzy, tiny tentacles, baring their fangs and claws, wreaking havoc.

The smile on Myriad Gods's face gradually faded, and his attitude began to become more serious, as if the previous battle was just a casual display of strength.

"If I can't kill him in one go, then I'll try a few more times.

I don't have many other strengths, just that I've lived a bit longer, perhaps over ten million years, so my patience is quite sufficient."

"Wuwuwu." Hearing this, Chen De immediately wiped away tears. "Benefactor, you must be very lonely living for so long."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you release."

After the first round, neither side called for the start of the second round before they were already fighting again.

Myriad Gods was fighting Chen De while seemingly performing some kind of starting stance, and he quickly completed the action.

"How was that move, Horizontal Sweep of the Eight Desolations? That was the strongest martial art I created while cultivating body refinement.

And this move is the strongest martial art I created while cultivating True Qi, its name is..."

"Qi Against the Universe!"
