Boom—!
Thunder tore through the last remnant of shadow in the canyon.
One second later.
White Night's figure had already appeared in front of the Shi Yu Fortress fifty kilometers away.
The structure of this fortress was completely different from that of the Blue Star Fortress; the walls were built of pitch-black obsidian, and dark red liquid flowed through the cracks, resembling coagulated blood.
RUMBLE!
The city gate opened wide, lacking the luster of a defensive shield, and no guards could be heard breathing; only the wind whistled through the empty corridors, like countless wronged souls whispering.
“It's excessively quiet.”
White Night, with a wisp of lightning wrapped around his fingertip, slowly stepped through the city gate.
Inside the fortress, burning bloody torches lined both sides of the passage. The torchlight shone on the walls, revealing countless twisted facial reliefs whose mouths constantly opened and closed, yet produced no sound.
After passing through three corridors, the view suddenly opened up.
This was a circular clearing, and in the center stood an altar ten feet high.
The base of the altar was pieced together from pitch-black bones, covered in bloody runes. Chains formed by these runes extended to the edge of the clearing, linking twelve humanoid stone pillars. Bound to the pillars were the fading phantom souls of the last 1,000 Sixth Revolution Peak experts of the Shi Yu Civilization!
Thick blood flowed across the surface of the altar, and in the center of the blood, a blurry bloody figure sat cross-legged.
Gray-black mist encircled his body, and within the mist, fragmented mysterious shards could vaguely be seen floating.
As soon as White Night stepped into the clearing, the bloody figure slowly stood up.
The mist dispersed, revealing a face so pale it was transparent. His pupils were pure blood red, yet a strangely calm smile hung on his lips.
His body was covered by a half-set of tattered Divine Armor. Blood seeping from the armor's crevices dripped onto the altar, making a “sizzle” sound, which surprisingly intensified the glow of the runes.
“You finally arrived,” a deep, cold voice echoed across the clearing, with a texture like grinding metal. “The little one from Blue Star.”
White Night's gaze fell upon the bloody runes on the altar. He quickly understood something and raised an eyebrow: “A Blood Sacrifice Technique using a thousand Sixth Revolution Peak experts as offerings—the Shi Yu Civilization is truly willing to pay the price.”
The bloody figure chuckled lightly, raising a hand to brush over the crack in the Divine Armor on his chest: “I am the God Slayer. What is this small price for my descent?”
“The last time the Shi Yu Civilization summoned me was a thousand years ago. That time, I flattened a super civilization that possessed three True Gods. The blood of True Gods is truly nostalgic...”
His blood-red pupils turned toward White Night, carrying undisguised curiosity and disdain. “Heh heh, you're just a little guy who hasn't even reached the Ninth Revolution. How can you be so calm upon seeing a True God?”
White Night's Eternal Demon Blade slowly left its sheath, the gray-black thunder and pale golden Divinity on the blade intertwining. “God Slayer? Sounds impressive, but unfortunately, you're going to be slain by me today.”
“Arrogant!” The God Slayer sneered, abruptly raising his hand. The twelve stone pillars in the clearing simultaneously burst apart, and the remnant souls turned into gray-black energy that he absorbed into his body.
In that instant, a terrifying pressure exceeding the Eighth Revolution Peak erupted. Centered on him, an area a hundred zhang in diameter was enveloped by the pure Dark Law!
This was a Law Domain unique to True God-level entities!
Within the Domain, light vanished completely, gravity became chaotic, and blue-white lightning was swallowed by the darkness as soon as it appeared.
The God Slayer's figure flickered continuously in the darkness. In his hand, a spear formed from the fusion of Divine Spark Fragments and blood materialized, its tip aimed at White Night's glabella: “Feel despair! This is the Domain of a True God, a realm that low-level civilizations like yours can never reach!”
Boom—!
The spear struck with the might of tearing space. Wherever it passed, the Dark Law condensed into countless tiny black holes, attempting to decompose White Night's body directly into particles.
White Night stood still, and the Nine Great Halos within his body lit up simultaneously. (A previous patch stated that four new halos were awakened after Eighth Revolution Peak, totaling nine now.)
The Nine Great Halos radiated immense divine power, and the pale golden light they emitted formed a barrier on his body. The black holes dissolved like melting ice upon touching the light.
“A Law Domain, is this the ability of the True God level?”
White Night's figure suddenly vanished in the darkness, appearing behind the God Slayer the next moment. The Eternal Demon Blade swept horizontally, the thunder on the blade no longer gray-black, but transforming into a streak of Purple-Gold Lightning that pierced the darkness.
The lightning contained billions of tiny Law threads—powerful Law energy that he had condensed after analyzing the Dark Law using his “Law Reconstitution” ability.
“Pfft!”
The Divine Armor cracked instantly, and the God Slayer's left arm flew off with a string of blood beads, causing the Dark Domain to briefly destabilize.
He turned back in disbelief, White Night's calm face reflected in his blood-red pupils: “Impossible! How could you break through my Law Domain! How could you break my defense?”
A Ninth Revolution True God could still handle ten thousand Eighth Revolution Peak experts with ease!
The fundamental reason was the Law Domain, the supreme power exclusive to the True God level!
Logically speaking, the Eighth Revolution Peak level should not possess the ability to break a Law Domain!
But clearly, White Night was such an unreasonable existence.
“Who said you can't win without a Domain?”
White Night's voice echoed in the darkness, his figure flickering around the God Slayer like a ghost.
The blade light of the Eternal Demon Blade continuously sliced through the nodes of the Dark Domain.
With every collision, large swathes of the Dark Law were purified by the lightning, revealing the pale altar ground behind it.
“Damn it!”
The God Slayer completely descended into madness. He violently burned his Divine Armor, fusing all remaining Divine Spark Fragments into the spear: “Darkness: Godfall!”
Boom—!
The spear transformed into a dark pillar of light piercing heaven and earth. Countless phantom images of slain gods emerged within the pillar, emitting shrill screams, attempting to destabilize White Night's Divine Soul.
This was the God Slayer's ultimate killing move, condensing the Divine Fragments and soul power of all the gods he had devoured!
White Night took a deep breath, and the professional characteristic of Thunder Sovereign within him suddenly erupted!
As a Unique Class, his Thunder Law feared no divine entity!
The Eternal Demon Blade was raised high, and a blurry phantom image of a Thunder God appeared within the Purple-Gold Lightning on the blade!
“Thunder God: Slash!”
Swish!
RUMBLE—!
The moment the blade light collided with the pillar of light, the entire fortress trembled violently.
The Purple-Gold Lightning seemed to possess life, flowing upstream along the dark pillar of light. Wherever it passed, the phantom gods vanished one after another, and the Dark Law was forcibly stripped away and purified.
The God Slayer let out a miserable, non-organic howl. His body disintegrated inch by inch in the lightning, ultimately leaving behind only a dim Divine Spark Fragment, which landed on the altar.
The Dark Domain retreated like a tide. Sunlight shone through the holes in the fortress, illuminating the ashes of the runes scattered across the ground.
White Night picked up the Divine Spark Fragment. The God Slayer's final consciousness echo lingered on the fragment: “Why... you clearly don't have a Domain... your life level is clearly still only a Demigod...”
White Night put the Divine Spark Fragment into his storage space and turned toward the core of the Shi Yu Fortress.
That Black Crystal Pillar wrapped in Blood Sacrifice energy.
Immediately after.
The Eternal Demon Blade gently swung, and the crystal pillar cracked instantly.
The next moment, the Game System prompt appeared before all Blue Star Professionals:
【Congratulations to the Blue Star Civilization for winning the Fortress Offense and Defense Competition!】
【The entire civilization receives a permanent buff: All participating members receive one Star Radiance-level treasure chest; all Blue Star Professionals' full attributes are increased by 10%; all Blue Star Professionals' Law Affinity is increased by 10%.】
When the system notification sounded, White Night had already walked out of the Shi Yu Fortress.
Deafening cheers came from the direction of the distant Blue Star Fortress, where 2,999 Blue Star Professionals were celebrating their victory.
He looked up at the sky. The black wings in the clouds had completely dissipated, leaving only the pale purple lightning belonging to Blue Star shining brightly.
“Ninth Revolution... True God...” White Night gripped the Eternal Demon Blade in his hand, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes.
Sunlight spilled onto his back.
He led the 2,999 Blue Star Professionals, who were filled with surprise and fervor, into the beam of light that would teleport them back to the Blue Star mainland...
