"BOOM!!!"
With a thunderous roar, a colossal hundred-meter-tall figure descended like a mountain blocking the path, standing directly before King Lufei.
It was the Ten-Thousand-Soul War Demon!
"Hahahahaha! This Ten-Thousand-Soul War Demon is a standard soldier under this Evil God! Though I only possess a wisp of consciousness right now and can create just one—still, it is more than enough to crush everything in its path!"
"Heh. No precious artifacts, looks like a weak little ant. I'll start with you and slaughter you invaders one by one!"
The Evil God's will projection sneered viciously, gazing down at the small straw-hatted boy.
"So strong!!!"
King Lufei looked up—and immediately sensed that the enemy blocking his path was truly powerful!
In terms of pure physical strength, it even surpassed Brother Ming!
"Since you're this strong, then I can't hold back either!"
King Lufei declared resolutely and assumed a stance.
"Entering Fourth Gear!!!"
As his voice fell—
Four Intent exploded simultaneously!
Martial Intent – Death Defying!
Martial Intent – Conqueror's Haki!
Soul Intent – Path of Justice!
Martial Intent – Star Wings!
All four Intent erupted at once!
They circulated and fused perfectly, transforming into four Dao patterns that roared across King Lufei's entire body!
Behind him, a pair of starry wings spanning dozens of meters unfurled!
"This is my Fourth Gear! Four Wings, Sovereign in the Sky!!!"
"Hm? What kind of power is this?"
It was the first time the Evil God's will projection had seen fused Intent power, and it was momentarily stunned!
After all, in this era, humans cultivated only the body—not spiritual cultivation!
Even so, the Evil God's will projection could still judge—
King Lufei was not a match for the Ten-Thousand-Soul War Demon!
But at that very moment—
The most shocking scene unfolded!
"Awakened Intent! Fourth Gear—Second Form!"
With King Lufei's roar, all four Intent awakened simultaneously, undergoing a qualitative evolution!
"BOOM!!!"
In an instant, King Lufei's aura surged dozens of times over!
"Star-Speed Light Fist!!!"
With a furious roar, King Lufei condensed the power to unleash over ten thousand punches in a single strike—into one single punch!
In the next moment—
That punch smashed directly into the Ten-Thousand-Soul War Demon's chest!
The War Demon didn't even have time to react before being struck!
"BOOM!"
Amid a horrifying cracking sound, this punch carried not only terrifying raw force, but also four awakened Intent and an overwhelming speed amplification!
Just one punch—
"Crack!"
Fractures spread outward from its chest, and then—
"BOOM!"
The hundred-meter body of the Ten-Thousand-Soul War Demon shattered completely!
Instant kill!
A true one-punch annihilation!
"Haa…"
After unleashing the strike, King Lufei's entire body emitted thick crimson mist—the sign of extreme overexertion.
Even with middle stage Heavenly Pill Realm cultivation and a minor-completion Azure Emperor Longevity Body at the Heavenly Pill realm, the consumption was staggering!
In truth, an ordinary Sacred Body couldn't withstand such an outrageous attack. Delivering ten thousand punches in a single instant would impose a burden even a Sacred Body couldn't endure—the only outcome would be bodily collapse.
But—
A Divine Body could withstand it!
"???"
Watching the Ten-Thousand-Soul War Demon get blown apart with one punch, the Evil God's will projection tilted its head.
What the hell just happened?
How did a straw-hatted weakling punch apart the strongest guardian in the maze—created from so much of this Evil God's reclaimed power?!
WTF?!
"Could it be… that every single invader is this monstrous? Who exactly are these people? Why are they so heaven-defying?!"
The Evil God's will projection began to panic and instinctively turned its attention back to the earlier so-called powerhouses.
If even a straw-hatted kid was this outrageous—
Then wouldn't those so-called Four Emperors and the ten captains be even more terrifying?!
With a shift, the Evil God's will projection witnessed a dumbfounded scene.
"Damn it, this slime monster is so strong!"
"Shit! This is definitely a boss! It actually beat me until I coughed blood! If I had both arms, I would've killed it already!"
"Ahhh! Save me! I'm about to die! Sons, heal me!"
"Heal your ass! Who the hell is your son?!"
The four invaders hailed as the Four Emperors were fighting four-versus-one—
Against a slime monster.
And they were struggling badly.
The mighty Four Emperors were getting beaten black and blue by a slime, looking utterly miserable.
"???"
The Evil God's will projection was completely dumbfounded.
Are you fucking kidding me? These are the Four Emperors?
Where did these four idiots get the courage to call themselves the Four Emperors?
The Evil God's will projection turned to another location.
"Damn, these skeleton soldiers are way too strong!"
"Hold on, everyone! These skeleton soldiers must all be super bosses—that's why they were sent to deal with us Captains of the Gotei Thirteen!"
"I can't hold on anymore! I'm putting on my Golden Saint Cloth!"
The ten invaders who had previously looked domineering and arrogant were now fighting eight skeleton soldiers.
They were beaten until their clothes were tattered, more than a dozen Zanpakutō had snapped, and three of them were so badly injured they were lying on the ground groaning, unable to get up.
From the looks of it, the eight skeleton soldiers actually held the upper hand steadily.
The ten so-called captains all looked as if they were facing the final battle of their lives.
The Evil God's will projection glanced at the skeleton soldiers.
Fourth-Order Sacred Body level.
They were the weakest guardians in the entire maze.
In the Evil God's original plan, these skeleton soldiers were only meant to stall for a little time!
And yet—
They were about to wipe out these ten "captain" powerhouses?
"These humans are fucking toxic!" the Evil God's will projection vomited again. And again.
"Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Style! Dragon Fang!"
"Two-Sword Style—Slash!"
"Frozen Overlord Spear!!!"
…
Meanwhile, those invaders dressed plainly and looking completely ordinary were effortlessly solo-killing every powerful enemy blocking their paths!
Red-Eyed King? Bone Lord?
None of them stood a chance!
"How can this be?" The Evil God's will projection was going insane.
Suddenly, its gaze shifted—and it spotted a figure holding a small kitchen knife.
"Hahaha! My cooking skills have improved massively! This time, I'll definitely shock everyone!" Master Chef Little Tip of Tongue said excitedly.
At that moment, a black Headless Knight manifested with a thunderous presence, and a terrifying aura of death surged outward, transforming into a sea of black flames!
"This invader… is just a cook among the humans? Heh. This is guaranteed death. The Headless Knight is the strongest guardian aside from the Ten-Thousand-Soul War Demon!"
The Evil God's will projection let out a long breath. At least it could kill one useless cook, right?
"Perfect timing!"
"Let me show you the brand-new Intent I comprehended from Senior Gourmet Immortal's Culinary Scrolls!"
"Chef Intent! Cooking All Things!"
"Intent! Royal Banquet Feast!"
Master Chef Little Tip of Tongue murmured slowly and opened his eyes!
Two Great-Completion Intent erupted simultaneously, forming dual Intent radiance that wrapped around his entire body!
In the next instant, the Headless Knight's meridians, flesh, and bone structure became perfectly clear before his eyes!
"Boom!"
Black flames surged forward—
Yet Master Chef Little Tip of Tongue stepped into the air and charged directly into the flames!
"The Headless Knight's flames are Netherworld Ghostfire! They can burn the soul and erase flesh! A mere cook—"
Before the Evil God's will projection could finish—
"Shua!"
With a flick of his right hand, the Divine Artifact Ever Changing Chef's Knife sliced through the air, effortlessly cleaving apart the black flames!
"Skinning and Bone-Removing Knife!"
In the next moment, he switched grips. His blade flowed like drifting clouds and flowing water, perfectly aligning with the seams in the Headless Knight's armor as it flashed past!
In the blink of an eye—
The Headless Knight was dismembered into countless pieces!
Armor stripped away.
Body sectioned cleanly.
Even the warhorse was perfectly processed!
The horse meat was neatly arranged, the horse bones placed into a large pot, and the hooves hung up properly.
In a single exchange, the Headless Knight had already been fully processed into ingredients by Master Chef Little Tip of Tongue!
"So what if it comes with fire? If a chef's afraid of fire, what kind of damn chef is he?"
Master Chef Little Tip of Tongue sneered disdainfully as he skillfully stored the ingredients into his storage ring.
The Evil God's will projection: "???"
