Let's start by analyzing the sun

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a thunderclap.

An extremely brilliant, blazing white beam of light erupted from the giant halo, rapidly descending towards the freshwater ocean below.

Simultaneously.

A suffocating wave of divine power instantly swept across this small, self-contained world.

Wherever the light beam passed, ripples appeared in layers in the air within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

This was a phenomenon caused by the disturbance of the world's laws.

Faced with this scene.

Several star lords of the Flash Star Clan eagerly began to praise.

"Your Highness is mighty!"

"Your Highness's divine power is unparalleled!"

"The God-Slaying Sword will surely be reduced to ashes!"

Amidst the flattery.

The light beam descended from the sky, directly striking a certain point on the sea surface.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar.

A sun bloomed on the sea.

Centered on the point of impact, all the seawater within a radius of five hundred kilometers vanished without a trace.

In the more distant vast sea area, super tsunamis thousands of meters high were instantly stirred up.

The area affected by this strike extended as far as 120,000 kilometers.

In short.

Nearly half of the freshwater ocean was stirred up by this strike.

Such a scene.

Showed just how powerful a main god-level expert truly was.

However.

Above the firmament.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

It was not only extremely cold.

But also extremely awkward.

The star lords who had been frantically flattering just now were all tongue-tied, unable to utter a single word.

Star King Radiant Flare, who had been wearing a nonchalant expression, now had a stern face, with not a trace of emotion in his divine eyes.

The instant the light beam struck.

All these gods clearly saw that there was no shadow of an island at all, only a vast expanse of seawater.

In other words.

The divine power attack unleashed by the Star King completely missed.

Yet, the Star King had previously spoken with an extremely confident tone, repeatedly calling them "water rats" and "rat nests," as if they could be easily exterminated.

But in the end, he didn't even touch a single hair of the enemy, and his previous bold words had become a joke.

How embarrassing?

How humiliating?

At this moment.

Each of the star lords wished they could find a crack to crawl into and disappear from the Star King's presence.

Because witnessing a main god-level expert losing face was definitely a very bad thing.

For the next five seconds.

No one spoke.

For this group of star lords, these were five very long and very difficult seconds.

Subsequently.

The silence was finally broken.

A star lord, with extreme trepidation, opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, this matter must involve the intervention of a main god-level expert from the Angry Hoof Clan, otherwise, the God-Slaying Sword would have no chance of survival."

This was obviously making excuses, taking the initiative to exonerate Star King.

On the other hand.

This was also an act of self-preservation.

When the other star lords heard this, they all put on an expression of sudden realization and echoed one after another.

"That should be the case."

"If there was no intervention from a main god-level expert from the Angry Hoof Clan, the God-Slaying Sword would definitely die."

"The God-Slaying Sword is indeed a treacherous and cunning fellow, actually secretly joining the Angry Hoof Clan."

Although Star King Radiant Flare did not speak, his old face clearly looked much better.

He pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The God-Slaying Sword, that rat, should not dare to crawl out of his rat nest in a short time."

A group of star lords hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness is absolutely right."

"The rat is intimidated by Your Highness's divine might, how dare he easily show his face."

Star King Radiant Flare lightly "hmmphed" and the killing intent in his tone became even more obvious: "If that rat dares to come out again, I will personally take his rat head."

He immediately changed the topic: "The Holy Spirit Shrine has already issued an order, our clan must quickly clear the Angry Hoof Clan's forces out of the Southern Rain Realm."

The Star King ordered: "From today onwards, the main strategic direction of our clan will be shifted to the Angry Hoof Clan."

"Yes!"

The star lords responded in unison.

After a moment.

The halo dimmed.

Star King Radiant Flare's figure quickly disappeared.

Only then did a group of star lords breathe a sigh of relief, each feeling as if they had escaped a calamity.

The five star lords turned their heads in unison, gazing at the star lord who had come up with the excuse, their divine eyes revealing gratitude.

But they didn't say much.

Who knew if the Star King had left any backup plans? If they were heard by His Highness, wouldn't they be suffering a great misfortune for nothing?

That star lord smiled and said simply, "Everyone, I have something to attend to, I'll take my leave first!"

The other five star lords bowed together: "We wish Star Lord Nine Radiance a smooth journey!"

Star Lord Nine Radiance returned the bow, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the distance.

At this time.

The sea below was still raging with huge waves.

The aftermath of the Star King's attack had not yet subsided.

The five gods watched together for a while before leaving the area one after another.

Three gods flew in different directions, going their separate ways to carry out their missions.

The remaining two gods, who had nothing to do for the time being, traveled together.

The two flew for tens of thousands of kilometers, away from the original location, before daring to discuss what had happened earlier in low voices.

"It's really unexpected that with His Highness's great strength, the sea area location he deduced earlier was actually a wrong location."

"The God-Slaying Sword is truly amazing, even His Highness was tricked by him."

"Do you think the God-Slaying Sword received external help?"

"It doesn't seem like it, we haven't found any traces of main god-level experts from the Angry Hoof Clan before, this should be the God-Slaying Sword's own means."

"Isn't that a bit too powerful? The God-Slaying Sword's strength hasn't reached the main god level, yet he has the ability to shield himself from the Star King's prying."

"Perhaps this is some deep-level application of the world's laws, the previous battle has proven that the God-Slaying Sword has a considerable grasp of the world's laws in this realm."

"That's possible, it seems I also need to study the world's laws more."

Talking about this.

The topic shifted once.

"I have an idea, we should be more careful when fighting in this realm."

"We really need to be careful, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault."

The two smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding arose in their hearts.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, they both understood that their colleague meant—don't fight too hard, prioritize self-preservation above all else.

Because the God-Slaying Sword's series of performances had given them a considerable shock.

The two gods didn't think that with their own strength, if they faced the God-Slaying Sword, they would have any chance of survival.

Just then.

The two simultaneously sensed something and quickly turned their heads to look into the distance.

What they saw.

A faint shadow, seemingly a spear shadow, suddenly rose from the sea surface in the distance at an astonishing speed.

"Whoosh~"

A strange whistling sound instantly shattered the surroundings.

This sound was extremely strange, not only did it resound in the ears of the two gods, but it also transmitted directly into their souls.

Just by hearing it, they faintly felt a sense of "soul being scorched."

One of the gods was a little horrified and blurted out: "What kind of attack is this?"

The abnormal sensation just now made him instinctively realize that the power of this spear shadow was probably extraordinary.

The other god glanced at the direction the spear shadow was flying, and his face immediately changed drastically: "Crap, Star Lord Nine Radiance seems to have gone that way."

The subtext was—this spear is aimed at Star Lord Nine Radiance.

Then.

The two gods did something interesting at the same time.

They first made a "charge forward" motion, seemingly wanting to rescue Star Lord Nine Radiance.

Then they recalled the tacit understanding of "not seeking merit, but seeking no fault," their movements suddenly stopped, and they even retreated a distance.

That side was obviously an extremely muddy pool of water, if they rashly approached, they might be in danger, so it was best to be careful.

One of the gods, highly vigilant, looked around and said softly: "Since Star King is here, I don't think he will sit idly by."

The other god unhesitatingly echoed: "That makes sense."

The two gods stayed where they were, watching the spear shadow cut through the sky and quickly disappear into the horizon.

The former hesitated for a moment and suddenly made a suggestion: "Perhaps we can wait a while and then go see what's going on."

The latter readily agreed: "Good idea!"

The so-called "wait a while" was undoubtedly waiting for Star King to take action.

If Star King Radiant Flare came to preside over the overall situation, it would definitely not be a good idea to stand by and watch, delaying for a while was obviously the safest approach.

I didn't not go, so there's no reason for His Highness to punish me.

But if I'm late, how can that be my fault?

*

Far away.

Just as the two gods had predicted.

Star Lord Nine Radiance encountered an unprecedented crisis.

Five minutes ago.

He had taken the initiative to defuse the situation for Star King, earning a trace of goodwill from His Highness, and incidentally gaining the gratitude of several colleagues, he was actually very excited in his heart.

Five minutes later.

The excitement of this star lord rapidly cooled down, and his heart instantly fell into a bottomless abyss.

Just now.

He suddenly had the feeling of being locked on.

Star Lord Nine Radiance suddenly turned his head and immediately saw a spear shadow emerging from the sea surface below, streaking towards him like lightning.

In that instant.

Although the spear shadow was more than 20,000 kilometers away from him, he was horrified to discover that he might not be able to escape.

This was not an ordinary lock-on.

This seemed to be—soul lock-on.

To put it more clearly.

As long as the target's soul still existed, no matter where they fled to, the attack would definitely catch up.

Star Lord Nine Radiance gritted his teeth and used a secret technique.

"Pfft!"

His figure exploded into a ball of light, then disintegrated into countless light spots, and then completely dimmed.

Two thousand kilometers away.

The air flickered.

Star Lord Nine Radiance's figure reappeared.

He glanced back, and his heart sank even deeper.

Because the spear shadow was flying closer.

Also because the direction of the spear shadow had a slight deviation, the spear tip was still pointing at his location.

This star lord had just used a method to conceal his aura, and had tried his best to shift his position, but failed to avoid the lock-on of the spear shadow.

It really was a soul lock-on.

Star Lord Nine Radiance was still unwilling to give up and tried several other secret techniques in succession.

Unfortunately, all his efforts failed.

At this time.

The distance between the spear shadow and him had been reduced to three thousand kilometers, at most in another breath, the spear shadow would hit him.

Star Lord Nine Radiance intuitively felt that this seemingly inconspicuous spear shadow was actually unusually dangerous.

He decisively roared, mobilizing all the divine power in his body to lay down layer after layer of defense.

At the same time.

This star lord vigorously waved his quasi-divine artifact, which was a whip of light emitting a faint glow, and forcefully lashed out at the spear shadow.

In any case.

He had to fight with all his might.

"Whoosh~"

The light whip brought up a shrill whistling sound.

The space within a radius of one hundred kilometers around seemed to be entangled by this light whip, and a strange distortion appeared in the space.

Not only that.

Even gravity had a certain deviation.

The spear shadow came head-on, and was strongly pulled by the light whip from a distance.

Star Lord Nine Radiance desperately hoped that this whip could effectively block the enemy's attack.

In the past.

He had wielded this "Nine Radiance Divine Whip", whipping countless enemies to the point of body and soul destruction, establishing many battle achievements, and had repeatedly received rewards from the Holy Spirit Shrine.

However.

This star lord was disappointed.

The spear shadow only trembled slightly, its shape was slightly elongated, then the spear shadow fluctuated and immediately returned to its original shape.

The pull of the light whip had no effect.

Failed.

The next moment.

The spear shadow seemed to descend from the void, flickering in the air, and came to the front one kilometer, directly stabbing towards his face.

Extreme horror instantly appeared in the pair of divine eyes of Star Lord Nine Radiance.

Because he sensed that a terrifying force was transmitted from the spear, easily penetrated his defense, and directly descended on his soul.

Such a bizarre attack really startled him.

What exactly is this law?

Why is my defense like a decoration?

However.

Star Lord Nine Radiance didn't have time to think too much.

"Boom!"

He heard a thunderclap.

Then.

The soul of this star lord instantly ignited with pale blue flames.

This strange flame brought him unimaginable extreme pain.

"Ah~"

Even though he had a super strong body, he couldn't withstand the pain, and he couldn't restrain himself from screaming miserably.

Star Lord Nine Radiance tried his best to stabilize his mind and began to observe his own sea of consciousness.

He immediately saw that the boundless sea of consciousness had already ignited with soaring blue flames, completely turning into a boundless sea of fire.

As the burning continued, his soul began to weaken rapidly, and his divine power also declined.

This star lord roared wildly, decisively stirring up a mental tsunami in his sea of consciousness, trying to extinguish the blue flames.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The loud noises came one after another.

The sea of consciousness was turned upside down.

This move seemed to have an effect.

The blue flames were clearly weakened by a large margin.

Star Lord Nine Radiance was overjoyed, preparing to continue his efforts to put out the flames.

But before He could act, a "boom" echoed within His divine sea, and the blue flames swept through it once more.

This time, it wasn't just the surface of the divine sea that was burning; even the middle layer was erupting with blue flames.

"Ah～"

The Nine Luminaries Star Master let out a tremendous wail.

His body was also ignited, and instantly burst into raging blue flames.

*

Tens of thousands of kilometers away.

A figure stood on a small island, gazing unblinkingly into the distance.

This was none other than Cheng Han's other avatar.

Also the second avatar to condense a divine imprint.

He smiled contentedly, "The complete version of the God-Darkening Spirit-Extinguishing Spear is indeed quite powerful!"

Back in the Voidwind Realm.

Cheng Han had deduced the incomplete version of the God-Darkening Spirit-Extinguishing Spear from the blood of the foreign god.

This avatar, having condensed the second divine imprint, had finally completed the divine skill.

The effect of the first test of the God-Darkening Spirit-Extinguishing Spear just now exceeded expectations.

A god with decent strength was actually beaten without any ability to fight back.
