474: Stone statue, control half

[But they were no fools; they quickly devised a countermeasure.]

[They gathered into a formation, intending to withstand your attacks together.]

["Boom!"]

["Boom!!"]

["Boom!!!"]

[You threw several punches at them in quick succession.]

[But this time, no creatures died.]

[Of course, in this state, it was also very difficult for them to hurt you.]

[Although they could still launch attacks, after changing their formation, their movement speed became even slower.]

[The attacks they launched, while still able to affect you to some extent, were mostly dodged by you.]

["Isn't this just a turtle formation..."]

["With such methods, aren't you just sitting ducks waiting for death?"]

[You muttered to yourself.]

[In this situation, you were already in an invincible position.]

[Although these creatures' turtle shells were hard, there would eventually come a day when you pierced through them.]

[Conversely, their attacks.]

[Almost never touched you.]

[Even if an occasional attack managed to affect you, the damage it caused was far less than the damage you inflicted upon them.]

[Although you knew the other party must be planning something, because your Crisis Awareness did not give you any warning, you decided to continue like this for now.]

[After all, their consumption was far greater than yours.]

[Even if they still had some schemes they hadn't unleashed, it would definitely not be a loss for you.]

[As time passed bit by bit, injuries gradually began to appear on those creatures.]

[Especially among some of the weaker ones.]

[Although they appeared normal on the surface, you could clearly feel their aura constantly weakening.]

[If this continued, those weaker creatures would soon die at your hands one after another.]

[And your strength would increase once again, and your advantage would grow ever larger.]

[But just when you thought victory was within your grasp, your Crisis Awareness suddenly sent you a violent warning.]

[This made your heart tighten, and you immediately scanned your surroundings.]

[But what you didn't expect was that, with your naked eye alone, you couldn't see anything at all in the surroundings.]

[This immediately made you nervous.]

[After all, things you cannot see are the most terrifying.]

[Especially in this situation where the enemy is hidden and you are exposed, the opponent's existence would constantly bring you an invisible pressure.]

[Helpless, you had no choice but to continue fighting these creatures while constantly observing the surrounding situation.]

[Just like that, several more hours passed.]

[The moment you completely obliterated one creature, a huge Stone Statue instantly fell from above your head.]

[Against him, you had absolutely no way to dodge.]

[So, the moment you saw him, you immediately used Submit to Me as Master!]

[Between heaven and earth, an invisible wave swept toward the Stone Statue, but although he was greatly affected, he was not controlled by you.]

["Hahaha, Heavenly Dao!"]

["Our Divine Soul and flesh have long undergone earth-shaking changes."]

["With those methods of yours from the past, you can no longer control us."]

["As long as I... Urgh!"]

[The Stone Statue's words came to an abrupt end, and he suddenly became somewhat dazed.]

[You tried to issue commands to him, but while he accepted the commands, his original Divine Soul was constantly fighting you for control of the body.]

["Interesting."]

["To think that even Submit to Me as Master cannot completely control them..."]

[You muttered to yourself, but didn't think too much about it.]

[Because for you, as long as you "control half," Submit to Me as Master is actually considered a success.]

[After all, the warning from Crisis Awareness came from the Stone Statue.]

[As for the other creatures, they were simply no match for you.]

[Thinking of this, you once again attacked the other creatures.]

[And they also knew that in this state, they could not possibly be your match.]

[So, after exchanging glances, they immediately lifted the restrictive state on the world.]

[The power within your body recovered once again.]

[You directly summoned the yu nei heavenly dao, letting him continue to take you to engage in a tug-of-war with those creatures.]

[Soon, you killed several more creatures.]

[And your strength grew to an unimaginable level.]

[At this point, in a one-on-one fight, no creature would be your match.]

[The contest between you was about to turn into a game of cat and mouse.]

[Of course, the increase in strength did not make you lose your head.]

[You quickly thought of the only existence that could pose a threat to you—the Stone Statue!]

[Since you didn't know how long Submit to Me as Master could control him, it was better to resolve this trouble as soon as possible.]

[You had the yu nei heavenly dao take you back to where the Stone Statue was, and manifested an invisible longsword in your hand.]

["Clang!"]

[The terrifying sword radiance pressed down horizontally, tearing apart a large expanse of the firmament.]

[Countless galaxies and Universes trembled; that sword radiance, containing the divine charm of the Dao, annihilated everything it passed through.]

[Between heaven and earth, it seemed only this brilliant radiance remained.]

[And its effect was naturally very significant.]

[The Stone Statue had absolutely no power to resist before this sword, and was instantly sliced into two halves.]

[But who would have thought.]

[The next moment, a bizarre scene occurred.]

[The Stone Statue did not die after being split into two by you; instead, it formed two "new creatures."]

[One of them was controlled by Submit to Me as Master, while the other was the Stone Statue itself.]

["You! How is this possible?!"]

["My Divine Soul and flesh have already undergone huge changes; even if you were the former Heavenly Dao, it is impossible for you to control me!"]

[Half of the Stone Statue screamed in horror.]

[But before he could finish, you commanded the other half of the Stone Statue to attack him.]

[It must be said, as an existence capable of posing a huge crisis to you, the Stone Statue's strength was absolutely unquestionable.]

[Even in the situation of "fighting himself," he still created a huge commotion.]

[Each of his strikes formed a violent shockwave, causing a large number of mountains and rivers to shatter.]

[Of course, a big commotion is just a big commotion.]

[Now his defeat was a foregone conclusion.]

[Under the continuous attacks from you and half of the Stone Statue, the other half of the Stone Statue soon fell into a desperate situation.]

[He screamed repeatedly, attempting to get the other creatures to come and help him.]

[But you had no intention of giving him that chance.]

[With a sword radiance that illuminated the world shooting into the sky, the other half of the Stone Statue completely lost its vitality.]
