At this moment, Nalan Sheng's eyes widened as he looked at his own body, his lips trembling slightly.
Because he realized... he had successfully broken through!
A Martial God!
He had broken through from a Martial Saint to a Martial God!
What had seemed utterly impossible had actually become a reality today!
"Hahaha!"
Nalan Sheng burst into laughter at this moment.
He had become a Martial God!
Now, the exhaustion in his body had vanished entirely, and he could feel an immense, boundless energy surging through him!
"To think I've broken through to Martial God... Now, I have a chance to kill these Demon Gods."
The gap between a one-star Martial God and a three-star Martial God wasn't that large.
And with Nalan Sheng now wielding what had become an epic-level Demon Sword, he was confident that with his abilities, slaying another Demon God wouldn't be an issue!
"How did this guy's power suddenly increase again!?"
The other Demon God, who had been charging down to kill Nalan Sheng, had now retreated to a safe distance.
He stared at Nalan Sheng in disbelief, as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head.
In such a short time, Nalan Sheng had actually broken through to the Martial God level!
And with that sword in his hand...
Danger!
At that moment, the Demon God could sense a deathly threat!
In an instant, Nalan Sheng's eyes locked onto the Demon God.
The three-star Demon God trembled under Nalan Sheng's gaze.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt... fear.
How could it be? How could he, a Demon God, fear this lowly human!?
"Now, it's my turn to strike back!!!"
Nalan Sheng roared.
He felt as if the blood in his veins was on fire.
His strength had ascended to the level of a Martial God!
Now, he was even more certain that he could kill this Demon God!
Something he could never have imagined before was now becoming a reality in this very moment!
Whoosh—
Nalan Sheng, who had just ascended to Martial God, was brimming with power. With a single movement, he left a deep footprint in the ground and instantly appeared in front of the Demon God.
At this moment, he could also feel that as his strength grew, new abilities were being transmitted to him through the Ye Fan Sword!
So, as he grew stronger, the sword's remaining powers were also unlocked!?
The thought excited him even more.
"Die!!!"
The Demon God didn't dodge but instead, in a fit of rage, raised his long blade and clashed head-on with Nalan Sheng!
He was a three-star Demon God!
How could he possibly fear a mere human who had only just become a Martial God!?
His companion's death had surely been an accident.
Yes, that must be it!
The three-star Demon God kept convincing himself as he clashed with Nalan Sheng!
Clang, clang, clang—
This Demon God was far more cautious than the one Nalan Sheng had killed earlier.
He unleashed his full power, pouring all his energy into his long blade, which became encased in a protective layer of energy.
As the two weapons collided, although cracks began to form on the Demon God's blade, it didn't shatter as quickly as the previous one.
This was disadvantageous for Nalan Sheng.
Each clash generated a powerful shockwave that directly struck his internal organs.
Pfft—
Nalan Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even as a Martial God, it wasn't enough.
Damn it!
But fortunately, the Ye Fan Sword had granted him a new power!
[Clone]!!!
Nalan Sheng roared internally.
The sword trembled slightly, releasing a surge of energy that transferred into Nalan Sheng's body.
In that moment, Nalan Sheng's figure multiplied, creating numerous identical clones of himself!
What!?
The Demon God, who had been frantically attacking Nalan Sheng, was taken aback.
He had been hoping to finish Nalan Sheng quickly, but seeing this scene left him shaken.
A perfect opportunity!
Nalan Sheng's eyes narrowed. With his enhanced strength, he poured his energy into the Ye Fan Sword, unleashing a fierce strike!
Danger!
The Demon God quickly reacted, raising his sword just in time to block Nalan Sheng's strike as it descended toward his head.
Clang—
The powerful impact sent the three-star Demon God flying, slamming into the ground far away.
Pfft—
A spurt of black-golden blood erupted from his mouth.
But the Demon God quickly got back up, glaring at the many 'Nalan Shengs' surrounding him, his expression growing more savage.
"Damn you, human ant!"
He roared, slashing madly at the clones of Nalan Sheng.
Clang, clang, clang—
Each of the clones, though possessing only half of Nalan Sheng's strength, seemed just as real as the original.
"Damn this guy!"
In the sky, the remaining Demon Gods saw that the thunderbolts had finally subsided and prepared to dive down to eliminate Nalan Sheng!
"Not so fast."
Nalan Sheng raised his eyes, pointing the Ye Fan Sword toward the descending Demon Gods.
At that moment, a dark energy erupted from the sword!
As the black energy surged, it seemed to melt the very space around it.
A massive black void appeared!
This was the first time Nalan Sheng had used this power. Seeing the spectacle before him, even he was amazed.
From within the void, a massive figure emerged.
What is that!?
The Demon Gods descending from the sky paused, their expressions changing.
The leading Demon God quickly realized that the figure was an enormous, jet-black being wielding a massive black battle blade... a Demon God!
This demon figure swung its blade directly at the descending Demon Gods!
The force behind the swing unleashed a terrifying shockwave!
Danger!
The leading Demon God raised his giant halberd to meet the attack head-on.
Clang—
The collision of weapons sent a burst of fiery sparks into the air, and the Demon God was knocked backward by the immense force.
