...

Ignoring the constant prompts appearing on the panel, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Kaige, who was still hesitating, and gently shook his head.

"What do you mean!"

Ye Kaige, who was hesitating over whether or not to deliver a finishing blow, frowned and questioned him.

That sense of decay radiating from the soul and divine soul could not be faked.

At this moment, he seriously suspected that Chen Mo had used some kind of forbidden art and was suffering from backlash.

Facing Ye Kaige's gaze, which was as "naive" as a college student's, Chen Mo felt a slight sense of guilt.

"Sigh!"

A sigh rang out, and Ye Kaige, who was already prepared to deactivate his divine art, suddenly trembled, his pupils dilating instantly.

"Whoosh!"

A figure wrapped in golden light appeared in front of him as if teleporting.

Those eyes, carrying a brilliant golden glow, looked at him as if looking at a fool, and he raised his hand to deliver a slap.

"Boom!"

The sound of an explosion echoed, and the entire floating island tilted slightly at that moment, showing the power contained in this strike.

But Chen Mo remained standing where he was, while a giant pit, a full hundred meters wide, abruptly appeared in front of him.

In the pit, Ye Kaige spat out a large mouthful of blood, looking at Chen Mo, who had a faint sneer on his face, in disbelief.

"You have entered the special state 'Wither and Flourish Tribulation'. This state will burn a large amount of divine power to maintain the immortality of the divine body and the indestructibility of the divine soul. Divine power is being consumed, current consumption: 200 points/second."

"Please note, your divinity has entered an overload state. This state cannot be maintained for long; please use it with caution."

Chen Mo glanced at the panel.

At this moment, both his Strength and Speed had reached a staggering 270 points, and his Spirit had reached 315 points.

These values were not increased randomly.

According to the standards of the Wither and Flourish Tribulation, the initial boost is 100 points, and for every point of divinity, all attributes increase by another 10 points.

"You... you were faking it before."

In the giant pit, Ye Kaige stared angrily at the figure looking down at him from above, his teeth grinding audibly.

However, Chen Mo ignored him. With a light grip of his right hand, the blood kill spear materialized in his palm.

For a deity of the divine path, the most important of the three major attributes is always "Spirit."

If divine power is the engine for all divine arts, then Spirit is the launcher.

The stronger and more high-end the launcher, the more powerful the "projectiles" it fires.

With 325 points of Spirit, he now possessed a divine power output far exceeding before. The Rank 2 divine art, Blood Kill, was no longer a grand undertaking but something he could perform with ease.

"I'll send you on your final journey!"

Chen Mo did not have the bad habit of letting his enemies catch their breath.

Moreover, given the negative effects of the "Wither and Flourish Tribulation," every second it lasted was a huge burden on his divinity and a "massive" consumption of divine power.

Being "frugal," how could he possibly waste time here with Ye Kaige?

In an instant, a flash of blood-red light shot straight toward Ye Kaige's throat.

Ye Kaige certainly wouldn't sit and wait for death; the Rank 2 defensive divine art, Soul Crystal, immediately manifested.

But in the end, he had overestimated himself, or rather, underestimated Chen Mo, who possessed 325 points of Spirit strength.

"Crack... Squish!"

The blood kill spear directly pierced through the Soul Crystal and plunged into his fragile throat with almost no pause.

"Gurgle..."

Blood surged from his mouth, but even after suffering such a heavy blow, he still stared fixedly at Chen Mo, and a clump of "Soul Fire" began to gather in his hand once more.

"Stop!"

Li Chengsheng's figure suddenly appeared, grabbing Ye Kaige's right hand, which was still condensing the "Soul Fire Bone Lotus."

"I... haven't... lost!"

A hoarse voice "flowed" out from his leaking neck.

His determined gaze even moved Chen Mo slightly.

Pride is a common trait among most "geniuses"; Ye Kaige and Du Ruo were both like this.

This wasn't actually a bad thing, because to go further on the divine path, self-confidence is the foundation.

For example, in the final step of becoming a True God, the "Divine Path Heart Inquiry Gate," so many people fail at this stage not because they haven't accumulated enough foundation, but because their heart toward the "Dao" is not pure enough.

If nothing else, as long as he could maintain this "pride," the path of a True God would certainly not be his end.

"Sigh!"

Looking at Ye Kaige, who had clearly fallen into some kind of obsession, Li Chengsheng shook his head slightly and then placed his hand on Ye Kaige's shoulder, pressing down gently.

"Thud!"

Facing the power of a True God, Ye Kaige had no room to struggle and fell directly to the ground.

After doing all this, Li Chengsheng finally looked at Chen Mo, whose golden glow was receding inch by inch, his eyes full of admiration and emotion.

...

"His aura... how did it increase so much?"

In the air, facing this 'absurd' scene, Duan Fei couldn't help but ask, looking toward Qin Feihu.

Everyone had their specialties, and the only one among them who minored in body-strengthening divine arts was Qin Feihu.

"Don't look at me, I don't understand it either. Damn it, a fusion divine art of three high-level laws—if I could understand that, I wouldn't have stayed at the Rank 3 True God realm for so long."

Qin Feihu was also speechless.

It was true that he had minored in a Rank 4 strengthening divine art, but that was just a conventional divine art of a single law.

As everyone knew, for every additional law a divine art fused, both its power and the difficulty of cultivation would increase geometrically.

The reason Blue Cave thought so highly of Chen Mo was precisely because of this.

If Chen Mo could grow up and continue his current achievements, he might not be the strongest in his realm, but he would certainly hold a place among the many top geniuses.
