156: Godhead fragment! Two upgrades!
At this moment, even though the Celestial God's Will possessed World Power, he still felt a wave of unease in his heart!
And as the Panda's power subtly gathered, this unease continued to expand.
"Impossible!"
The Celestial God's Will's expression was arrogant as he roared.
"I bear the World Power of the entire Celestial World!"
"To deal with me is to deal with the power of the entire Celestial World!"
"How is that possible for a newly ascended Mythical-grade like you!?"
He didn't believe it, and he couldn't!
Aside from its sparse population, the Celestial World's overall strength was considerable. Bearing the Celestial World's power, he didn't know how he could lose!
Then, an indescribable pressure erupted from the Panda, sweeping outwards!
Martial God Domain!
The surrounding air instantly became heavy, and space itself subtly twisted, as if torn apart by the Martial God's power.
Trapped within the domain, the Celestial God's Will felt his movements slow down, as if even his breathing was suppressed.
What terrified him even more was this:
His attributes, and the World Power he bore, began to constantly diminish, becoming increasingly weak!
"How is this possible!"
For the first time, a look of terror appeared on the Celestial God's Will's face!
Having left the Celestial God's Will's Prohibition of All Laws domain, the Panda could now unleash his own domain!
The Martial God's divine domain could suppress all of an enemy's power, attributes, and so on...
This power didn't just refer to personal strength.
It was proven that within the Martial God Domain, even World Power would be greatly reduced!
Judging by the weakening of the Celestial God's Will's strength, it was reduced by at least two-thirds!
"Your domain... can suppress even World Power!?"
The Celestial God's Will couldn't believe it!
The importance of World Power accounted for a large portion of the win rate in Mythical-grade battles.
And this Martial God actually suppressed it just like that?
In fact, if the Celestial God's Will had continued to use wind-element abilities, he would have discovered that even the power of laws was also suppressed.
Within the Martial God Domain, all powers, except for martial arts, were equally suppressed!
"It seems I absolutely cannot let you live!"
The Celestial God's Will stared intently at the Panda, his face filled with extreme dread...
A Mythical-grade existence capable of suppressing World Power, if he grew any stronger, he would pose a huge threat to his true body!
"I still have one-third of my World Power, the advantage is still mine!"
Even while enduring the pressure, the Celestial God's Will's aura remained high, and the Holy Light Judgment Sword in his hand erupted with platinum radiance!
Under the amplification of World Power, the Celestial God's Will had to unleash a full-power strike!
But across from him, the Panda stood with his eyes closed, his expression solemn.
The next moment, the primal energy of heaven and earth surged like a tide, rapidly converging into a vortex.
"Divine Form."
Martial God Form!
The moment the skill was unleashed, countless threads of primal energy, like silk, continuously surged from around the Panda, rapidly condensing into a majestic divine statue, as if cast from azure gold.
The Martial God Form's face was identical to the Panda's, revealing divinity within its solemn and majestic features, and every detail of its condensation was meticulously precise, rendered with utmost clarity.
Its stature was not as tall as the Ancient Shadow, barely about three zhang.
But there still seemed to be room for enhancement and advancement.
The moment the Martial God Form appeared, a vast pressure surged again, like a great sun suspended between heaven and earth, making it difficult to look directly at.
"Playing tricks! Die for me—!"
The Celestial God's Will had fully erupted, and the Holy Light Judgment Sword tore through the air, slashing fiercely towards the Panda.
Compared to the Martial God Domain, the Martial God Form didn't put much pressure on him.
Because he had never seen it before.
The Martial God Form was an upgrade based on the Ancient Shadow, and it received a qualitative improvement after advancing to Mythical-grade.
It could be said that among Mythical-grade existences, the Panda's Martial God Form was unique.
A sharp glint flashed in the Panda's eyes.
Almost integrated with the Divine Form, he swung two azure-gold divine arms, directly facing the Judgment Sword!
"Boom!"
Two incredibly powerful arms directly clamped the Holy Light Judgment Blade.
Immediately after, a fierce aura, like thunder, instantly swept towards the Celestial God's Will... Martial God Aura!
The Holy Light Judgment Blade shattered instantly!
The Celestial God's Will's glowing eyes instantly widened, and his suspended heart finally sank to the bottom.
The next moment, the Martial God Form flashed and crossed over, arriving above the Celestial God's Will, and punched downwards!
"Bang!"
The Celestial God's Will was struck as if by a cannonball, his entire body plummeting rapidly towards the ground like a meteor.
This time, not only did his heart sink, but he himself sank with it.
The Panda, fused with the Martial God Form, flickered, leaving behind an afterimage, and in mid-air, punched the half-dead Celestial God's Will.
With an explosive sound, he slammed him back to the already shattered arena.
Until the moment he landed.
The platinum radiance shimmering in the Celestial God's Will's eye sockets finally completely extinguished.
"[Killed Celestial God's Will, gained experience +3 million (+200%)!]"
"[Ding! Your level has increased to: Level 34!]"
"[Infinite Gold Perk - You have gained one draw!]"
"[Killing Blessing - Gained Free Attributes: 300 points!]"
"[Destiny Treasure Affinity - You automatically obtained its dropped items: Godhead Fragment * 1, Celestial God Battle Armor, Celestial God Cloak!]"
Boom—!
The instant Ye Ze received the kill notification, the loud bang of the Celestial God's Will's corpse hitting the ground erupted.
At the same time, it stirred up earth, stone, and dust from the ground, sending them outward.
And as the crowd on the scene resisted the impact, their expressions became wonderfully varied upon seeing the corpse...
"The Celestial God's Will... is dead!!!"
For a moment, the battlefield fell silent.
Meanwhile, the Human Race and Spirit Demon Clan side erupted into complete ecstasy!
"Holy crap? Slaying a Mythical-grade!!"
"Invincible! Who says the Human Race has no Great Emperors!"
As the Demon Suppression Army cheered.
Moon Rabbit's eyes widened, and her gaze towards Ye Ze was both excited and somewhat awestruck:
"You, you, you... could you be the reincarnation of a true god?"
Great Demon King Bai Lin stared intently at the Celestial God's Will's corpse, his face full of disbelief... "He's really dead!"
"And he was solo-killed!"
White Lin's heart was in turmoil... To be able to slay the Celestial God's Will at such a young age, if he didn't die prematurely, Ye Ze would surely make a name for himself across all realms in the future!
He suddenly felt that the Spirit Demon Clan's greatest gain from coming to the Star Spirit World secret realm might be clinging to this powerful leg!
In fact, even Ye Ze hadn't expected the Martial God's combat power to be so strong.
In less than a minute, he had slain a will clone of the Celestial God.
If he strengthened the Martial God Form, controlled divine artifacts, and controlled World Power in the future... how exaggerated would his combat power be!
Ye Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Then he looked at his gains. One Celestial God's Will gave him so much more experience than the unformed Barbarian God Phantom from before!
Not only did it directly fill his experience bar, but even the next level's experience bar was only a sliver away from being full:
96%... only 4% more experience to level up again!
Ye Ze looked at the Barbarian Race and Demon Race on the battlefield, feeling that leveling up twice was not a problem.
In addition, Killing Blessing directly exploded with 300 free attribute points.
But what Ye Ze was most curious about was the Celestial God's Will's item drops:
Two Legend Seven-Star equipment, and a... Godhead Fragment!
Ye Ze looked at the fragment, like a shattered crystal, containing traces of divinity:
"[Godhead Fragment: A fragment of condensed divine power. With five pieces, a Godhead can be condensed, achieving a Mythical-grade divine position!]"
"So this is the proper way to become a Mythical-grade..."
Ye Ze suddenly understood.
Furthermore, through the Eye of Insight, he learned that the Godhead Fragment dropped by Ye Ze upon slaying the Celestial God's Will would cause a portion of the Celestial God's main body's strength to decrease.
It could be said that this fragment was plucked from the Celestial God's body.
There weren't many ways to obtain Godhead Fragments, but slaying Mythical-grade clones was theoretically the most efficient.
"Interesting."
Ye Ze's gaze flickered to the Barbarian God Phantom on the other side.
Although he could synthesize Mythical-grade with perks, would he dislike having too many Mythical-grades in his hands?
Upon noticing Ye Ze looking at the Barbarian God Phantom, White Lin seemed to understand his meaning and immediately added:
"This shadow of the Barbarian God probably can't use World Power."
"The Celestial God probably used some divine artifact to allow his clone to use World Power..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ze finally realized... so the Celestial God also possessed a Mythical-grade item?
He just didn't know if the one in the Celestial God's hand was among those Ye Ze was familiar with...
However, the Barbarian God definitely didn't have a divine artifact. Ye Ze's mind stirred, and he called out to the Panda.
The Barbarian God Phantom inexplicably shivered.
Although the Prohibition of All Laws domain had disappeared and skills could be used again, he felt no joy, instead, his nerves were taut.
The Celestial God's Will, whose strength was similar to his, had died!
How dangerous must his situation be!
As it turned out, his thoughts were correct.
The moment Zero wielded the Fire Tipped Spear to force back the Barbarian God Phantom, a towering azure-gold divine form charged out from behind him!
A surging sound of tearing air rang out.
The Barbarian God Phantom's pupils instantly constricted, and a sudden sense of life-and-death crisis assailed him!
At this moment, he seemed to understand how the Celestial God's Will had died...
The Barbarian God Phantom was already heavily wounded from his battle with Zero; taking another hit would surely mean death!
Almost instinctively.
The Barbarian God Phantom chose to dissipate on his own!
This way, his power returned to his main body, preserving the Godhead Fragment.
"Damn it! He ran fast!"
The Panda's punch hit nothing but air.
The Barbarian God Phantom was originally a detached shadow that had left its host body; dissipating was just a thought away.
But by doing so, he essentially sold out all the Blood Wasteland Tribe members present!
"Lord Barbarian God...?"
"Why has Lord Barbarian God's aura disappeared!"
"Why would Lord Barbarian God abandon us! No! No—"
After the Prohibition of All Laws domain disappeared, the Barbarian Race had initially been in a state of counterattack, also causing no small amount of damage to the Spirit Demon Clan and the Demon Suppression Army.
The moment the Barbarian God Phantom disappeared, the Blood Wasteland Tribe was completely leaderless, on the verge of collapse!
"The Barbarian God Phantom ran, but killing these should be enough to level up."
Ye Ze wasn't disappointed and immediately shifted his target to the remnants of the Blood Wasteland Tribe.
The once formidable Barbarian Race, after the death of their young chief and the World Master's escape, had their morale drop to its lowest point.
Many of them, who originally still had some power to fight back, even turned and fled, preparing to return to the teleportation gate and escape back to the Barbarian Realm.
"Not a single one can escape!"
Ye Ze sent Zero and the Panda to hunt them down!
Although the Panda's Martial God Form's duration had ended, with the Martial God's current base strength, he was still more than enough to dominate the entire field.
The Panda and Zero, two figures of azure-gold and crimson, soared and hunted across the battlefield!
At the same time, Ye Ze conveniently began drawing new perks.
Although he was only 4% away from leveling up again, accumulating two draws wouldn't increase his luck, so he might as well draw one first.
The thirty-fourth perk...
"[You have drawn a Gold Legendary Perk: Hundred No Taboos!]"
"[Hundred No Taboos: Immune to (enemy) domain effects, ignores all negative, restrictive, suppressive, and other effects!]"
"What a Hundred No Taboos!"
Ye Ze couldn't help but exclaim... it had a feeling of 'transcending the three realms'.
It could even completely ignore domain effects!
One must know that domains were a killing move-level ability for most Legendary and Mythical-grade powerhouses!
Especially for the Celestial World, law domains were their racial ability, often causing enemies to suffer greatly.
Now, he could directly ignore them!
Ye Ze couldn't help but think of the Celestial God's Will again...
If he were to fight the Celestial God's Will again now, the opponent probably wouldn't last even a minute from appearance to death.
That strange Prohibition of All Laws domain would be completely useless against him!
Ye Ze even thought of the Celestial God's main body...
With Hundred No Taboos, facing the Celestial God's main body should be very interesting!
Killing a Celestial God's Will clone yielded such rewards; if he could kill the Celestial God's main body, what kind of gains would there be!
Furthermore, there was also a Celestial World teleportation gate within the Star Spirit World, which theoretically allowed direct entry.
The only problem was that if he were to face the Celestial God's main body, his current strength was still far from enough.
However, there was still great hope.
Looking at the Hundred No Taboos perk, Ye Ze thought that since perks could be transferred, he would first bestow it upon himself.
After all, there was only one perk, and the effect of immunity to domains was quite versatile, making it more effective for adapting to battles.
At this moment, the Panda and Zero's hunting efficiency was extremely high.
More than a dozen kill notifications popped up on Ye Ze's panel...
"[Killed Barbarian Race Blood Rage, gained experience +120,000 (+200%)!]"
"[Killed Barbarian Race Blood Vengeance, gained experience +180,000 (+200%)!]"
"[...]"
"[Eliminate Dissidents - Current number of alien races killed: 66/100!]"
In a short time, Ye Ze's remaining experience bar was directly filled.
Leveled up again!
"[Ding! Your level has increased to: Level 36!]"
"[Infinite Gold Perk - You have gained one draw!]"
...
Celestial World.
The entire world was permeated with a daylight-like radiance, and countless floating islands seemed to cluster around the central Celestial Island.
Within the Celestial God Temple, the Celestial God, as the World Master, was uncharacteristically furious.
"How dare he! How dare he kill my clone!"
The death of his will clone caused the Celestial God's main body's divine power to drop significantly...
This was the first time since the Celestial God became the World Master that his clone had been killed by an 'unknown inferior race'.
A group of high-ranking Celestial God Race members stood at the entrance of the divine temple, exchanging glances.
It was a long time later that the Celestial God issued an order:
"Go tell the Hunting Bird Clan! Find the location of Ye Ze's world for me immediately!"
"If I don't act soon, this child will become a great menace!"
