163: One punch to kill

The five streaks of light, filled with endless killing intent and greed, were like five venomous snakes that had smelled blood, sealing off all escape routes for Lin Ye and Su Qingyue from five different angles!

The battle axes and long spears in their hands were already enveloped by pure Divine Power, exuding terrifying Divine Might!

Their distorted faces were even covered with cruel, cat-and-mouse-like sneers!

In their eyes, these two 'newcomers' who had just experienced the 'Origin baptism' and were in their weakest state were nothing more than... two lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

However, just as their weapons, capable of splitting mountains and shattering stones, were about to touch their bodies!

"Noisy."

Two calm words, devoid of any emotion, slowly escaped his lips.

"What?!"

The five Scavengers, who had been so aggressive, were simultaneously shocked the moment they met those eyes! An uncontrollable, extreme fear, originating from the deepest part of their Soul, suddenly shot up to their spiritual root!

"Not good! This guy is tough! Quick..."

The burly man leading them was the first to react from that terrifying pressure, letting out a shriek of horror!

However, he no longer had a chance.

"Since you like... 'picking up trash' so much."

Lin Ye slowly raised his right hand, a cold, death god-like arc appearing on his handsome face.

"Then... become the first... nourishment for my myriad realms furnace."

"myriad realms furnace — Devour!!!"

A silent roar erupted in his heart!

Buzz — ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

An indescribable terrifying suction, filled with endless devouring and suppressing intent, suddenly erupted with Lin Ye's body as its center!

The massive, dark-gold illusory image of the myriad realms furnace, which had long been integrated with his Divine Soul, appeared behind him without any warning!

Its maw, like a black hole capable of devouring all heavens, aimed at the five streaks of light that had already been scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

"No!!!"

They horrifyingly discovered that their bodies, which had been charging forward, were now as if firmly grasped by an invisible hand, unable to advance even an inch!

The Divine Power, Qi and blood, and even... Divine Soul within them!

They uncontrollably surged out from their seven orifices like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, transforming into five colorful energy torrents that were frantically... devoured by the dark maw of the furnace!

"Ah — !!!"

In just a few breaths!

The five previously vibrant lives rapidly... shriveled and withered at a visible speed!

Finally, they turned into five cold, lifeless... mummies, devoid of all vitality and Soul!

"Thud."

The five mummies, like discarded trash, fell onto the cold Chaos stone platform, shattering... into pieces!

However, Lin Ye's face, which had been slightly pale from forcefully devouring 'World Origin', suddenly... flushed with a sickly crimson!

Streams of extremely pure 'origin points', refined from the lifelong Cultivation of five Early Stage Dominator (God Emperor) powerhouses, surged madly into his nearly dry Qi Sea and Divine Soul like the most nourishing sweet spring!

"Ding!"

"The myriad realms furnace has been activated! Refining 5 Early Stage Dominator (God Emperor) powerhouses..."

"Refinement successful! Congratulations, host, you have gained 5,000 origin points!"

"Ding! The host's System panel has been updated!"

"Ding! The host's internal energy has been replenished! Injuries... recovered!"

"Hoo..."

Lin Ye let out a long breath of turbid Qi, and the deep-seated weakness vanished! It was replaced by an unprecedented... fullness and power!

This was the... overbearing nature of the myriad realms furnace!

Refining all things! Returning to Origin!

The Scavengers who had been hiding in the shadows of the stone pillars, preparing to watch the show, were like several statues instantly petrified by a Spell, their mouths agape, eyes vacant, and minds blank.

They stared blankly at the five mummies that were no longer human-shaped, and at the young man who slowly withdrew his hand.

Their hearts, which had long been filled with slaughter and greed, were at this moment completely engulfed by an indescribable... extreme fear!

Instant... instant kill?!

Five genuine Early Stage Dominator (God Emperor) powerhouses were... sucked dry before they even touched the opponent's clothes?!

What... what kind of monster... is this?

"Head... Boss..." A Scavenger swallowed with difficulty, his voice already sharp and piercing due to extreme fear, "That... that seems to be... the legendary... Demonic Technique of Devouring?!"

"Shut up!"

The Mid Stage Dominator leader with a ferocious saber scar on his face suddenly roared!

His eyes, which had been filled with cruelty and mockery, were now replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and... an uncontrollable hint of fanaticism!

He stared intently at the fleeting dark-gold illusory image of the furnace behind Lin Ye, and his heart, which had been silent for thousands of years, began to pound madly!

He didn't care about the lives of those useless people!

What he cared about was... that Cultivation Technique!

That supreme Demonic Technique that could ignore the Laws of the Divine Realm and forcefully devour others' Divine Souls and divine sparks!

If... if he could get his hands on this Cultivation Technique... wouldn't he be... "Hehehe..."

A chilling, hoarse laugh suddenly burst from his mouth!

He slowly walked out from the shadow of the stone pillar.

His terrifying Mid Stage Dominator Divine Might erupted like an awakened ancient Vicious Beast, causing the air, which had been filled with fear, to... hum!

"Good! Good! Good!" His sharp, eagle-like eyes locked onto Lin Ye, and his face, covered with ferocious saber scars, was filled with endless greed and excitement, "This is truly... finding something where one least expects it!"

"Kid!"

He suddenly raised his hand, his calloused right hand, as if stained with the blood of billions of living beings, pointed at Lin Ye from afar!

"Hand over that Demonic Technique! And offer that woman beside you to me!"

"I will... spare you a complete corpse!"

"Noisy."

He didn't even bother to say another word of nonsense to this 'ant' who had long been blinded by greed.

He threw a punch at that figure, who had been so arrogant and aggressive!

"What?!"

The cruel smile on the scarred leader's face instantly froze!

He never expected that this 'newcomer', who in his eyes should have had unstable Qi and an unstable divine spark, would dare to... actively attack him?!

Was he... seeking death?!

"Overestimating yourself!"

He roared, and his terrifying Mid Stage Dominator Divine Power erupted!

His calloused right hand suddenly shot forward!

"Buzz —"

A High Grade Divine Artifact, the 'Ten Thousand Soul Banner', entirely made of pale white bones, with billions of wronged Souls swirling around it and exuding a terrifying Aura capable of defiling all things, instantly appeared in his hand!

Without thinking, he was about to unleash this terrifying demonic treasure that could make even powerhouses of the same rank change their expressions!

However... it was already... too late... Lin Ye's punch was very slow.

So slow that everyone present could clearly 'see' how that seemingly ordinary, fair and slender fist, inch by inch, pierced through the obstruction of space.

But, it was also... very fast!

So fast that the scarred leader's natal demonic treasure, which was already connected to his Divine Soul, didn't even have time to activate!

So fast that his terrifying Mid Stage Dominator Divine Power shield didn't even have time to react in the slightest!

That was a kind of... absolute power that transcended time and space, and even the Laws of this Divine Realm!

That was the supreme Divine Might born from the God-Demon Prison Suppressing Body after it had fused with the Origin Law of the Center of the Myriad Realms Divine Domain!

Under the scarred leader's gaze, filled with endless horror and disbelief!

That seemingly ordinary fist, without any fancy moves, solidly landed on the scarred leader's... chest!

"Pop."

Immediately after —

"Crack... crackle..."

A crisp sound like shattering glass spread outwards from the point of contact of the fist!

The scarred leader slowly lowered his head, disbelievingly looking at his chest, which had been tempered to be indestructible by Mid Stage Dominator Divine Power... it began to shatter from the center, like glass struck by a heavy hammer... inch by inch!

Everything, under this one punch, was completely... crushed by that indescribable, terrifying Fist Intent, filled with endless suppression and destruction!

"No..."

He struggled to raise his head, and his eyes, which had been filled with endless brutality and killing intent, now only held endless confusion and... emptiness!

To his dying breath, he couldn't understand!

He, a dignified veteran powerhouse of Mid Stage Dominator! Who had roamed this reception platform for thousands of years, hunting countless Wild God Geniuses... the King of Scavengers!

Why... why did he lose... so completely?!

"Boom — !!!"

In endless unwillingness and fear, his tall and burly body, along with his powerful Divine Artifact and sturdy divine body, exploded like a sand sculpture weathered by the wind!

Turning into... scattered, myriad... blood-colored light specks!

Vanishing into thin air!

...One punch!

Another punch!

Their arrogant leader, who in their eyes was as powerful as a god or demon, and had already reached Mid Stage Dominator!

Just like that, was... instantly killed?!

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

An uncontrollable, extreme fear from the deepest part of their Souls instantly overwhelmed all their reason!

Without thinking, they prostrated themselves like the most lowly ants, uniformly kneeling before that god-like figure!

"Lord Divine Venerable, spare our lives!!" "We... we failed to recognize Mount Tai! We... we surrender!!"

Lin Ye ignored them.

He needed... a few 'guides'.

Just then!

The cold System prompt in his mind resounded!

"Ding! Detected that the host has successfully killed one Mid Stage Dominator (God Emperor) Cultivator..."

"Detected pure divine spark fragment (Blood Fiend attribute)... currently refining..."

"Refinement successful! Congratulations, host, you have gained 30,000 origin points!"

"Ding! System panel has been updated!"

"Ding! Detected that the host has initially established his might, unlocking the ultimate goal — [Ascend to Dominator]!"

"Promotion conditions:"

"One: Must comprehend any main Cultivation Technique to the 'World Origin' level!"

"Two: Must absorb a massive amount of 'Divine Origin' and complete 'law crystal stones' to condense a unique 'Immortal Emperor Seat' within the Qi Sea!"

"Once the Emperor Seat is formed, one can transcend heaven and earth, wield Reincarnation, overlook the Myriad Realms, and become... Dominator!"
