146: Chapter 146 Slaying Three Gods in Succession, Shattering the Divine Core

Carlo recovered his mobility, and his divine body shrank rapidly. His seven-hundred-zhang body shrank to five hundred zhang, and then down to three hundred zhang, while the dark green divine fire on his body continuously extinguished.

He lowered his head to look at his chest, where hundreds of Laws had been stripped away by Wang Pingan, leaving only a few wisps of residual Origin connecting his divine fire and divine core.

"Where are my Laws? Give my Laws back to me!"

Carlo swung his bone staff, trying to draw power from the Abyss Divine Kingdom, but the fractured ley lines did not respond. The islands sank into the seabed, the ore veins collapsed from deep within, and the entire Divine Kingdom could no longer support him in continuing the battle.

Wang Pingan stood before Carlo, golden divine fire spreading out to block the dark green waves surging from the side, his gaze falling upon that water-blue divine core.

Carlo raised all four of his arms simultaneously, pouring his remaining Divine Power into the bone staff. A dark green water sphere condensed at the tip of the staff, and the final Laws of the Abyss Divine Kingdom were compressed within it.

He knew he no longer had a way out. His divine core was exposed, the altar was destroyed, and his subordinate legions had been pierced right through by Wang Shan. The only thing he could do was to drag Wang Pingan down with him in his fall.

"Human Race deity, do you think you can win just by destroying the altar? The Abyss Divine Kingdom still has its final Origin, and I will use it to bury you right here!"

Carlo pushed the bone staff forcefully, and the dark green water sphere left his hand. The seawater along the path was drawn into a long river, and the ground of the entire battlefield collapsed downward as a result.

Wang Pingan did not dodge. He raised his right hand, and the golden divine fire in his palm pressed forward. The water sphere collided with the flames, and a large amount of water vapor rose from the sea surface.

The two forces reached a stalemate in the center of the battlefield. Carlo's divine body continuously channeled outward the Origin, while the cross-border passage behind Wang Pingan continuously gushed forth the power of the Divine Kingdom.

Carlo desperately exerted pressure with the remaining strength of a decayed Divine Kingdom, while Wang Pingan withstood it head-on with the foundation of his 180,000-square-kilometer Divine Kingdom. Cracks quickly appeared in the Laws on the outer layer of the water sphere.

"You no longer have the strength."

Wang Pingan closed his five fingers, and the golden flames poured into the water sphere along the cracks. The dark green Laws were burned through layer by layer, and the Divine Power compressed within them dissipated into a vast expanse of water mist.

Carlo let out a roar, his four arms bursting open simultaneously. The bone staff snapped in the middle, and residual divine fire spurted from his chest as his body staggered backward repeatedly.

He wanted to turn and flee toward the altar where the divine core was located, but Wang Pingan pressed down with his hand, and the golden divine fire sealed off all directions, directly cutting off Carlo's retreat route.

"You destroyed my Divine Kingdom, and you still dare say the outcome has been decided!"

"You can't even protect your own divine core, with what will you continue to fight?"

Wang Pingan raised his right hand, bringing his fingers together into a sword shape. The golden divine fire condensed into a three-foot sword beam, which swept across Carlo's neck without any pause.

The dark green divine fire was cleanly sliced apart. Carlo's head detached from his divine body, his four eyes still staring fixedly at Wang Pingan, while muddled roars still issued from his mouth.

Wang Pingan reached out and grabbed that water-blue divine core. Its surface was covered with cracks, and the residual Water Laws inside were dashing about frantically.

Carlo's Divine Thought came from the divine core, his voice carrying sharp malice, "Let me go! I am willing to hand over all my resources, and I am willing to become your vassal deity, as long as you spare my divine core!"

Wang Pingan did not reply. He closed his five fingers, and the water-blue light on the surface of the divine core collapsed inward, crushing the residual Divine Thought within his palm into pieces.

The water-blue divine core split into several pieces, and pure Origin gushed out from the cracks. Deprived of the divine core's traction, Carlo's divine body crashed heavily into the sea surface.

The seawater was smashed by the divine body into a wave wall hundreds of zhang high, and the dark green divine fire scattered along the crest of the waves. The surrounding remaining Scale Demon soldiers all came to a halt.

They gazed at the corpse of the divine lord that had fallen into the sea, and then looked at the golden figure in the sky, lowering the bone forks in their hands one after another.

News of Carlo's fall spread along the Laws of the Divine Kingdom. The surviving Scale Demon military Formation lost its final command, and many priests collapsed to their knees on the spot beside the shattered altar.

Wang Mu did not give them a chance to catch their breath. Pointing his command banner toward the central sea area, he shouted, "Artillery Battalion, lock onto the alien Divine Kingdom Passage! Heavy cannons, fire in a volley! Cut off Tuya's retreat route first!"

Two hundred zifu heavy cannons turned their directions. The Pure Yang fire liquid within the cannon barrels re-gathered, and four hundred beams of fire blasted out along both sides of the passage.

Tuya had just retreated to the edge of the deep blue Divine Kingdom when the spatial bridge was pierced by artillery fire. Dense cracks emerged on the surface of the passage, and the bridge deck connecting the two Divine Kingdoms continuously collapsed.

"Baer, go back immediately!"

Tuya looked back at his own Divine Kingdom. Less than thirty percent of the poisonous sea Origin remained, and tens of thousands of Stinger Jellyfish soldiers crowded near the passage, none daring to be the first to step into that fractured space.

Baer likewise wanted to leave. Dragging his injured crab-shell divine body, he retreated toward the earth-yellow Divine Kingdom. His six arms propped up a damaged battle hammer, and the heavy body churned up layers of spray from the sea surface beneath his feet.

Wang Pingan turned to look at the two alien deities. The golden divine fire pressed toward the sea surface along with his gaze, and all the surrounding water vapor dissipated under his Divine Might.

"Wanting to leave now is too late."

Tuya urged the poisonous sea, and the deep blue Laws condensed six bone spikes behind him. The bone spikes shot toward Wang Pingan, the poisonous mist along the way condensing into sharp, elongated lines.

Wang Pingan raised his palm to block in front of him, the golden flames forming a wall of fire. The six bone spikes crashed into the fire wall, their toxins burned into black smoke, and the bone spikes broke as a result.

Suffering a backlash, Tuya's divine body retreated backward. The poisonous sea behind his shoulders churned unceasingly, and the body of water that originally covered thousands of li began to collapse inward.

Seizing this opportunity, Wang Shan led three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artists stepping out of the military Formation. The medicinal power of the mad blood battle pill was still flowing within their bodies, and the phantom of the double-faced mingwang once again raised its fractured battle saber.

Just as Baer turned around, Wang Shan had already rushed to his front. The vitality and blood Qi of three thousand Martial Masters poured into the battle saber along the military Formation, and the blade, wreathed in crimson flames, slashed toward Baer's lower legs.

Baer raised his battle hammer to block, but the movements of his damaged divine body were half a beat slow. The battle saber cut in from below the knees, severing the thick crab shell and plunging along with the lower legs into the sea.

Baer's massive body lost its balance, slamming one knee into the seabed. His six arms propped up the ground, stirring up a large expanse of murky seawater.

Wang Shan did not pursue. He withdrew his saber and retreated back into the military Formation, while Wang Pingan had already crossed a hundred li of the sea surface in a single step, landing before Baer's chest.

Baer raised his battle hammer to smash toward Wang Pingan. Wang Pingan reached out and grabbed the hammer handle, and the golden divine fire spread along the hammer shaft, burning through the earth-yellow gravity Laws on the spot.

The battle hammer slipped out of Baer's control, and Wang Pingan raised his foot to step on his chest. The surface of the crab shell cracked repeatedly, and earth-yellow divine fire gushed out from the cracks.

"You think that by surrounding me, you can carve up my Divine Kingdom."

Baer propped the ground with his six arms, trying to shove Wang Pingan away. However, the Origin beneath Wang Pingan's feet continued to press down, firmly nailing the hundred-zhang divine body to the seabed.

Baer's Divine Thought came from his chest, "I am willing to hand over the ore veins and the legions! I beg you to spare my divine core!"

Wang Pingan looked down at him, "Begging for mercy on the battlefield is already too late."

He thrust both hands into Baer's chest. The golden divine fire tore apart the crab shell and the Laws, seizing the earth-yellow divine core hidden deep within the divine body.

Baer let out a hoarse roar, his six arms striking the seabed repeatedly, yet unable to shake the divine fire pressing down on his chest.

Wang Pingan closed his hands, and the earth-yellow divine core split apart in his palm. Baer's Divine Thought and divine fire shattered together, and his massive crab-shell divine body heavily smashed into the seabed.

Three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artists stamped the ground in unison. The mingwang battle saber pointed toward the remaining Tuya, and fifty thousand Immortal Martial Legion members pressed together toward the edge of the poisonous sea.

Tuya looked at Baer's remains, then at the Divine Kingdom Passage that had mostly collapsed. Drawing all six bone spikes back into his body, he turned and fled toward the deep blue sky.

Wang Mu immediately ordered heavy artillery to blockade the area. Artillery fire spread out along the direction of Tuya's escape, and Law-breaking shells continuously pierced into the deep blue sea area, blowing apart the Origin bridge between him and the Divine Kingdom.

Losing his path of return, Tuya's divine body halted mid-air. Deprived of the divine core's traction, the poisonous sea Laws caused large patches of deep blue seawater to plummet from the vault of heaven.

Turning his head back, he saw that Wang Pingan had already arrived close by. His voice turned sharp, "You cannot kill me! My Divine Kingdom still has value; I can breed more Stinger Jellyfish for you!"

Wang Pingan raised his hand, the golden flames sealing off all around Tuya. The poisonous sea Laws were burned straight through the moment they approached.

"Your Divine Kingdom, I will take it myself."

Tuya urged his final Divine Power, and all six bone spikes stabbed toward Wang Pingan simultaneously. Wang Pingan sidestepped to dodge, striking his right palm against Tuya's chest.

The Pure Yang flames penetrated into the divine body, and the toxin Laws scattered outward along the flames. The deep blue divine fire was pressed back to the location of the divine core.

Wang Pingan clamped his five fingers around that deep blue divine core, inside of which Tuya's Divine Thought struggled frantically. "I am willing to surrender all my Origin! I beg you to spare my life!"

Wang Pingan did not stop. The power in his palm continued to tighten, and the deep blue divine core cracked open, crushing Tuya's Divine Thought to pieces.

Deprived of its divine core, Tuya's divine body smashed down into the sea surface. The poisonous sea dispersed in all directions, and the deep blue mist that had once blanketed the battlefield gradually receded.

Carlo, Baer, and Tuya—three First-Order Deities—fell one after another. The legions of the three alien Divine Kingdoms simultaneously lost the protection of their main gods.

Wang Mu mobilized thirty-six sub-Formations. Fifty thousand Immortal Martial Legion members sealed off all sea areas, heavy cannons cleared away the remaining soldiers section by section, and the shield Formations suppressed the alien troops attempting to flee.

The Scale Demons lowered their bone forks, the Crab Soldiers discarded their battle hammers, and the poison sacs of the jellyfish soldiers completely shriveled up. The three remnants of the army could no longer organize any resistance.

Leading the Vanguard Array, Wang Shan charged into the center of the remaining enemy troops, his battle saber slashing down in succession along the enemy Formations. Meanwhile, Wang Mu used Formations to partition the battlefield, breaking the eighty thousand remaining troops into dozens of pieces.

Artillery fire, Sword Qi, and the heavy armor military Formations advanced side by side, and the final resistance of the alien legions was quickly shattered on the spot.

The corpses of the three deities slammed onto the sea surface, and the churning waves crashed against the shattered islands. At the same exact moment, the three alien Divine Kingdoms also lost the control of their masters.

With the three divine cores shattered and the three 100,000-square-kilometer Divine Kingdoms losing their masters, the vast Origin transformed into a storm that swept across the heavens.
