Chapter 548: Chapter 405: Clear the Field, Another Promotion
“Gurgle!”
The sound of swallowing water resonated.
Nobody had anticipated that the Soul Clan strongman, who was supposed to be a nightmarish terror, would be instantly shredded by the light of Xu Gu’s blade.
“I don’t believe it!”
The remaining two previously boisterous Soul Clan strongmen let out unwilling shrieks.
It was completely unbelievable.
The reason their race had dominated countless other races countless ages ago and had vied for the position of Cosmic Overlord was precisely because the members of their race had no physical form; they existed as souls!
Ordinary people couldn’t perceive them, let alone attack them!
Even an Upper Demon King could not harm them!
Of course, as a consequence, if they were not parasitizing, they also couldn’t inflict any substantial damage to other strongmen.
Hence, they would make arrangements in advance, preparing to use Fields or other means to trap and kill their prey.
But now, a lesser-ranked Human Clan youngster named Xu Gu had just instantly killed one of their companions with a single strike.
It had far surpassed their understanding.
“Short-sighted.” Xu Gu responded with a detached smile, as the Death aura on the blade grew increasingly intense.
The Death Authority, as one of the Supreme Authorities, could kill even the heavens when developed to the ultimate, let alone a few Soul Clan cannon fodders.
Especially since his Death Authority had already reached purity level 5!
Dealing with these three half-step Demon King Soul Clan strongmen was overkill.
“Boom!”
Xu Gu was ruthless and succinct, with no dawdling.
Another slash was made.
The astounded Soul Clan strongman wanted to escape but found it too late and had no choice but to fight desperately.
One of the Soul Clan strongmen even abandoned his soul form and transformed into a physical entity.
Naturally, he ended up being shredded by Xu Gu’s blade.
“No wonder you were able to defeat the Elf King’s flesh avatar in the Death Realm; it turns out you have mastered the Supreme Authority of the Death Path!”
Another Soul Clan strongman, his spirit trembling, terrified out of his wits, also recognized Xu Gu’s technique, finally realizing why they were instantly killed by Xu Gu, and was utterly shocked.
“If that’s the case, then let’s die together!”
He clenched his teeth, his face fierce, knowing he could not survive an encounter with the god of slaughter that Xu Gu was, so he chose to detonate the Divine Blood beside him.
This Divine Blood was the blood of a True God, its power barely dissipated over countless ages, capable of blowing up a relatively fragile small asteroid straight away if exploded in space.
Naturally, it could also take Xu Gu with it!
Xu Gu glanced indifferently at him, looking at the other party as if looking at a fool.
Then,
In the eyes of the Soul Clan strongman, time seemed to stop, and then Xu Gu had already appeared before him, pocketing the Divine Blood while also placing the knife at his neck.
“Tell the Elf King, I’ll be coming to kill him soon. He better hide well; he definitely doesn’t want me to find him.”
Swoosh!
As the words rang out, the blade’s light blossomed, slashing through the universe, decapitating the Soul Clan strongman’s head.
Boom!
The life force dissipated.
The third Soul Clan strongman fell.
“This…”
No one had thought it would end like this.
Three Soul Clan strongmen had just been slain by Xu Gu with a single stroke.
What is invincibility?
This is true invincibility!
However, right after that, the Elf Queen seemed to have thought of something, abruptly looked up, and exclaimed: “Not good, the consciousness of these Soul Clan powerhouses is shared!”
The Soul Clan possesses a truly terrifying ability.
That is the collective consciousness shared among all Soul Clan powerhouses.
Only they can enter the Soul Realm, where a Soul Tree exists, connecting all Soul Clan powerhouses.
Other members of the Soul Clan learn about the states, strengths, and past memories of fellow Soul Clan powerhouses through this Soul Tree, even their thoughts.
This means that although Xu Gu has instantly killed these three Soul Clan powerhouses, he has now exposed his location.
Next, if everything goes as expected, he will likely face the pursuit of the entire Mechanical Sea’s kings!
“Deities fall when obstructed, demons perish when confronted.” Upon hearing this, Xu Gu merely smiled lightly, unconcerned.
His gaze fell on the Divine Blood in his hand.
[Divine Thunder Blood]
[Rank: 3-star Star God-level]
[In the Divine Era, it is the essence blood of the Pillar God, the Thunder God. Despite countless years of erosion, it has, by chance, been preserved. It contains a portion of the Thunder God’s power.
It’s excellent material for Artifact Refining, creating forbidden enchantments, arranging Fields, and crafting battleship weapons. It can also be used to comprehend ‘Thunder’-related Authority, such as [Thunderbolt][Death][Destruction][Punishment] and others.
If one’s comprehension is extremely good, they might even gain insight into the Supreme Authorities like ‘Death’ and ‘Dao’.]
Xu Gu’s eyebrows slightly raised; he had originally planned to feed this Divine Blood to the Four-Impossibles for its evolution.
Now it seems, perhaps using it himself wouldn’t be too bad?
[Do you wish to use the Pillar God Thunder God’s Divine Blood?]
[It can enhance the purity of your ‘Death’ Dao Authority and might grant you the chance to comprehend the Supreme Authority ‘Dao’!]
Xu Gu naturally did not hesitate.
“Use.” Xu Gu raised his hand, seized hold of the Divine Blood, and absorbed all its power.
Instantly, rampant thunderbolts exploded, rampaging in place, and pulverizing countless mountains, rivers, and vegetation in the vicinity.
Within this storm of thunderbolts, a trace of extreme intent of death was discerned by Xu Gu.
[The purity of your ‘Death’ Dao Authority has increased!]
[Current ‘Death’ Dao purity is 8 points!]
[You have comprehended the Supreme Authority ‘Dao’!]
[Current ‘Dao’ Dao purity is 2 points!]
Xu Gu opened his eyes, and thunderbolts flashed within them, seemingly harboring the terrifying power to destroy planets.
“So, this is Dao. The natural order of heaven and earth, the elements of thunder, wind, metal, wood, water, fire, earth within the world all fall under the category of Dao.”
Xu Gu murmured to himself.
Like this, he gained a clearer understanding of the power of the so-called Supreme Authorities.
Even, strictly speaking, the [Sea]Authority controlled by the Sea God belongs to the category of [Dao]!
“Unfortunately, increasing the purity level is rather difficult.” Xu Gu shook his head with a sigh.
It has been so long, and his Authority’s purity had only increased by a little.
“Hm?!”
His words were not concealed, so everyone in the Battle Space heard him, staring at Xu Gu with widened eyes, utterly astounded.
Are you kidding?
Are you even listening to what you’re saying?
Slow?
You’re not even level 60 yet, only level 56, and you’ve already mastered four kinds of Supreme Authorities. Among them, the ‘Body’ Dao has even reached the threshold of a mid-rank True God, with a purity of 10!
Xu Gu paid no mind to their surprise.
It wasn’t possible for him to care.
The reason was simple: those under his command were all former kings, in other words, they were all losers of the past.
Their shock
