342: Divine Power

Chen Tianming gently raised his hand, pushing back slowly with just four fingers. After this extremely simple movement, he calmly uttered two words: "Return to zero!"

As these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze instantly, and time appeared to lose its meaning for that fleeting moment as all things stood still. The tenth meteorite, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and earth, had been hurtling straight toward the Fantasy Planet. Yet, when its massive body was just inches away from the Fantasy Continent, it miraculously froze in mid-air.

In the midst of this stillness, the nine stars that had previously fallen, along with this tenth one, were as if pulled by invisible threads, reversing time and rapidly retreating along the path they had come.

Along with the Fantasy Continent, everything returned to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened, and the world regained its peace.

Lemus seemed to wake from a dream, shocked beyond measure.

"The power of reversal? This is divine power! Impossible! How did you do it?!"

His questioning was laced with anger and confusion, shattering his previous cold, god-like demeanor.

Chen Tianming spread his arms slightly, his tone carrying a hint of indifference.

"Is it difficult? You self-proclaimed gods would rather sacrifice ten stars to save one, letting the world be destroyed in the process."

"What use is a god like you?"

A vast mental force broke through the clouds with Chen Tianming's words, surging straight into the universe.

Chen Tianming was now radiating a powerful pressure that Lemus found incomprehensible.

Even as a deity, he still could not understand how this near-divine pressure was generated.

For a time, the world fell into silence.

Even the god who could pull ten planets did not dare to act rashly against Chen Tianming.

The two stood in a standoff; for Chen Tianming, this was likely the best outcome.

But just then, a massive surge of energy suddenly rose from the Fantasy Continent, its momentum no less formidable than Chen Tianming's.

Moreover, this power came swiftly and in a concentrated manner, though in the context of the vast universe, this speed was not fast.

Yet its ferocious penetrating power had almost instantly torn apart and collapsed the golden nebula surrounding the Fantasy Planet.

The collapsing nebula twisted and shattered, turning into piece after piece of constantly shifting spiritual energy clusters.

Inside, the planet seemed to have lost its gravity; the entire prism-shaped planet stopped rotating, its outer shell beginning to shatter, floating and tumbling.

In the midst of the broken clouds, a black beam of light shot rapidly into the sky, piercing through the universe and heading straight for Chen Tianming.

In the blink of an eye, it flew over a thousand kilometers, its impact force creating layers of vortices among the surrounding meteorites.

Meteorites millions of times larger than Chen Tianming's body were like dust, drifting and spinning, only to collide with the beam of light and be instantly shattered into stone fragments by the black pillar.

However, for Chen Tianming, the speed of this impact was far too slow.

Moreover, the appearance of the black beam was not the first time.

Chen Tianming and Sariya had been enveloped by this same type of black beam when they had swapped souls.

Chen Tianming did not know what would happen if he were fully hit, but it was foreseeable that since he had swapped with Sariya after being ambushed last time, this time would certainly be no exception.

He dodged the attack nonchalantly. After evading it, he scanned the area, and the location of the attacker appeared in his eyes.

Chen Tianming sneered, just about to lock onto the person who had launched the sneak attack.

But suddenly, Lemus let out a terrifying roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

His body trembled incessantly, and the surrounding celestial bodies flew everywhere with his movements.

The entire starry sky was churned up by him, almost turning into a chaotic mess.

Chen Tianming looked back.

Lemus's massive divine body could not dodge the black beam.

His body was too large.

It was larger than planets, stars, and galaxies!

The moment the beam arrived, it began to slowly disappear from the base of the continent.

Boom!

On the shattered planet, gravity was restored.

The ley lines reversed, mountains and rivers were shattered, and it was like a huge rock, bare and desolate, floating in the pitch-black universe.

Looking at Lemus again.

The life force in his single eye had dissipated, and he floated powerlessly in the air.

Chen Tianming was somewhat shocked.

This beam is truly insane...

An ascendant god was actually taken out in one hit?

Just as Chen Tianming was puzzled.

Lemus's massive arm suddenly swung, like a paralyzed patient returning to the world.

His divine body began to recover, rapidly regaining vitality.

But his expression was extremely puzzled.

Raising his hands, Lemus seemed to have become a stranger.

But in Chen Tianming's eyes, all of his information was clearly and accurately marked out.

Chen Tianming's appraisal system took effect at this moment, and all of Lemus's information had changed.

The owner of the massive divine body before him had actually already swapped souls under the shroud of the black light!

At the same time.

In the center of the shattered Fantasy Planet, the soul of a god from afar was imprisoned, letting out an angry and unwilling roar.

The entire upheaval of the Fantasy Planet had been prepared to seal him.

No.

Chen Tianming suddenly felt hostility rise in his heart.

This planetary cage was not prepared for him at all; the goal of the mastermind behind it was not the god at all.

It was him!

Only now did Chen Tianming finally understand that being fully hit by the black light would result in a body swap.

And last time, his accidental swap with Sariya had already given the attacker the idea to covet Chen Tianming's body.

This sneak attack was tailor-made for him alone, and the opponent had even prepared to use an entire planet to seal him.

At this moment, Chen Tianming stared at the person in the air.

In the appraisal interface displayed by the system, Chen Tianming clearly discovered that the other party had already swapped into a soul Chen Tianming never expected.

He hid underground, using seals to close off space and conduct cruel swapping experiments, creating a variant known as the Spirit Race.]

After reading these system prompts, Chen Tianming felt somewhat complicated.

He didn't expect that the person in front of him actually came from the same place as him—a true fellow countryman.

Facing a fellow Earthling, Chen Tianming couldn't help but sigh and softly said.

"Brother, why do you have to do this? Why not use the system for the right things?"

Xu Ran, occupying the massive divine body, looked at Chen Tianming with disdain.

"The system? Hmph! I threw it away long ago! The power I possess now is all gained through my own hard work!"
