After slaughtering so many members of the Evil Spirit Race, he finally gathered enough experience points. Leveling up now was incredibly difficult. Just wiping out the Evil Spirit Race from one planet wasn't enough, he had to destroy several planets consecutively, and even then, it required the stacking of experience boost cards to reach the level-up threshold.
The amount of experience needed was simply too much, or rather, the cultivation levels of the Evil Spirit Race were too low. Gaining experience from Earth Monarchs was pitifully low. Especially now that experience was compressed, it wasn't as abundant as before, drastically slowing down his leveling speed.
Regardless, he had finally reached the moment of leveling up. Upon breaking through to God Monarch Level 5, the power that was sealing him was instantly forced open, and the suppression placed on him was greatly weakened.
Originally, the seal had weakened him by nearly fifty percent. Now, with his cultivation elevated, the weakening effect was reduced to less than thirty percent! A sudden increase of several grades of effectiveness left him very satisfied.
"This time, it's my turn!"
Yi Tianyun sneered coldly. The Power of the Planets within his body began to circulate. He had wanted to activate it earlier, but felt that even if he did, he wouldn't be able to bring out its full potential.
If he couldn't kill the Evil Spirit Territory Lord and ended up scaring him off instead, that would've been troublesome. Yi Tianyun definitely didn't want that to happen.
That's why he kept delaying, waiting until he broke through to God Monarch Level 5. That would be the moment of true eruption!
"What's the matter? Not running anymore?" The Evil Spirit Territory Lord saw Yi Tianyun stop moving and was instantly delighted.
"Yes, I'm not running anymore. Because your death has arrived!" Yi Tianyun said with a cold smirk.
"My death? I don't know who was just running like a stray dog, and now you're talking about my death? Absolutely laughable. Hasn't Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God taught you not to be so arrogant? No wait, Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God himself was always arrogant and conceited!" The Evil Spirit Territory Lord snorted coldly and immediately launched an attack at Yi Tianyun.
His power was still the same as before, no fluctuations yet, so he could still hold up for now.
While he remained constant, Yi Tianyun was different. The Power of the Planets in his body had now fully activated, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Metal, and Lightning also generates Water. In this crazed looping cycle, the power began to climb. With the added increase in his cultivation base, his foundation expanded.
Even if he only gained an extra 3 million points of Star Power, with a 128x multiplier, that directly turned into an increase of 400 million combat power. Absolutely nothing to scoff at. And the key was, it wasn't just a simple 128x boost. There were also martial art multipliers stacking on top!
As the planets within his body spun, they generated a wildly stacking power that surged forth in full force, tearing open the void directly.
His combat power, which had previously been at 2.6 billion, instantly shot up to 3.3 billion, a leap of 700 million, an absolutely terrifying surge!
The moment this power surged out, the Evil Spirit Territory Lord immediately felt it. His heart was filled with terror, and he quickly tried to pull his punch back to escape. The transmitted power gave him a tremendous sense of danger, even the feeling of death flooded up from within!
"Trying to run? Too late."
Yi Tianyun's expression was indifferent as he reached out and grabbed the Evil Spirit Territory Lord's incoming fist. With a bang, the energy from the Evil Spirit Territory Lord's strike dispersed on both sides of Yi Tianyun's palm, failing to cause even a scratch.
The Evil Spirit Territory Lord froze, not understanding what Yi Tianyun was trying to do.
Yi Tianyun simply smiled at him, reached out, and yanked, rip!, the Evil Spirit Territory Lord's arm was torn off just like that. Despite such a strong and sturdy body, it was ripped apart like tearing paper.
"Run, run, run!"
The Evil Spirit Territory Lord's mind was filled not with thoughts of revenge or a desperate fight, but with one idea: escape. If he didn't run now, he would truly die.
If he died, then revenge wouldn't matter anymore.
But could he even escape?
After tearing off his opponent's arm, Yi Tianyun gripped the Stars Divine Spear in his right hand and thrust it forward. A force capable of piercing everything easily ran through the Evil Spirit Territory Lord's body, nailing him in place mid-air.
There was clearly nothing in the void, yet it managed to trap him. This was all due to the Power of the Void. With his Void Bloodline, Yi Tianyun could massively strengthen the surrounding void, turning it into a wall of iron, trapping his opponent inside.
The Power of the Void wasn't just for spatial travel, it had many uses. This was one of them.
"Didn't you say you wanted a fair and square fight? Why are you trying to escape now? Not going to avenge your master? Or are you thinking: 'As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn'?" Yi Tianyun sneered at him. The Evil Spirit Territory Lord's face was pale. He wanted to resist, but found that his power was completely locked down.
Yi Tianyun's attack had struck his vital point, and the violent energy was rampaging through his entire body. On the surface, he looked fine, but in reality, his body was already mostly destroyed after that one spear strike.
The wings on his back were wilting like flowers, quickly falling off, leaving only light-based wings with no feathers.
"Don't, don't think this is the end. Even if you are Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God 's disciple, you'll still die!" The Evil Spirit Territory Lord crushed a strange object in his hand. It quickly turned into light and scattered in all directions.
Yi Tianyun didn't even need to investigate, he knew it was a transmission artifact, used to send out the message that he was Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God 's disciple. That was exactly what he wanted. Otherwise, why would he let the Evil Spirit Territory Lord send out the message? He had already sensed it the moment the object appeared.
If he didn't want it to be sent out, the Evil Spirit Territory Lord wouldn't have had a chance.
"Oh? Sending messages now?" Yi Tianyun smiled faintly.
"That's right! You're dead for sure! Don't think everything's over just like that! Even Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God will be punished when faced with the power of a Grade Four God Territory!" the Evil Spirit Territory Lord roared, his eyes burning with fury.
His body was now at the brink of collapse. If this went on any longer, he would explode and die. Yi Tianyun had never shown mercy in his attacks, not in the past, and certainly not now.
"Is that so? Well, before you die, let me tell you something, so you don't die with regrets." Yi Tianyun leaned in close and whispered, "I'm not actually Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God 's disciple. But I did kill him. Your message? Very helpful. I hope it causes some damage to his faction."
"You!"
The Evil Spirit Territory Lord's eyes went wide. He couldn't believe Yi Tianyun could have killed Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God ! But now that Yi Tianyun said it so calmly… could it be true?
If so, didn't the message he just sent cause his own alliance to collapse?
