Luo Yu watched Amaterasu coldly, "Old dog, your desire for my death is unabating, today I'll use you to temper my alchemy furnace."
Amaterasu retorted, "Do you think I would show up without being confident of victory?"
"Now, this incarnation of mine is at its peak, while you have already swung your axe twice."
"I don't believe you have the strength to swing a third time."
Before the words had even settled, he saw Luo Yu raise the axe and chop down towards the head.
The axe light tore through the long sky.
The might was vast.
Amaterasu's pupils constricted.
How... how is this possible!!!
He hurriedly dodged, but he was still a beat too slow, and his arm was chopped off at the root.
Amaterasu clutched his arm, exclaiming,
"How do you still have the strength?"
Luo Yu said, "Of course, I saved my strength to chop you, did you really think your disguise was so hidden that no one could see through it?"
Amaterasu's face turned ugly.
He really hadn't expected that Luo Yu had noticed him from the beginning, nor had he expected that Luo Yu still had the strength to make a move at this moment.
What was most inconceivable was the rapid improvement in Luo Yu's strength.
When he had dealt with Luo Yu last time, he was not this strong.
"Divine Realm!"
Amaterasu opened his Sun God Divine Realm, radiance shining all around, the beams dazzling.
"Heaven Splitting Strike!"
Luo Yu, like Great God Pangu creating the heavens and the earth, swung his axe straight down.
The heavens crumbled and the earth split.
The entire Divine Realm was cleaved open forcibly, gone was the previous despair and helplessness faced when confronting the incarnation of Amaterasu.
The axe that split open the Divine Realm shook the world.
"This..."
"Even the presence of deities cannot subdue him?"
"Too terrifying, to what level has Godchild Luo Yu's combat power reached?"
"Holy shit!!"
"Is this for real, am I dreaming?"
Many citizens of Great Xia couldn't believe their eyes; it was surprising enough that he had previously displayed divine might, but now even a covert attack from a deity had failed to subdue Luo Yu.
It was utterly unbelievable.
Only then did everyone realize how much they had underestimated Luo Yu before.
"Crack—"
Under the power of the Divine Axe, Amaterasu's Divine Realm rapidly collapsed.
It shattered directly.
Along with it, Amaterasu's body began to flicker and fade, numerous lacerations appearing.
Even without being directly hit by the Divine Axe, the mere aftershocks had injured him.
Amaterasu's eyes bulged, staring at Luo Yu as if he'd seen a ghost.
"How is this possible!"
"How could your strength have increased so much?"
In Amaterasu's view, he had calculated everything perfectly.
There were absolutely no oversights.
But it was precisely Luo Yu who kept causing problems.
Less than half a year had passed, and this brat had grown from an ant he could easily crush to a formidable being that could casually cleave open his Divine Realm?
Luo Yu faced Amaterasu's exclamations with eyes twinkling with irony.
"Sure enough, you from Takamanohara are nothing but a bunch of provincial dogs and chickens."
"For a god to lead a sneak attack and still expect those below to fare any better."
Amaterasu gritted his teeth, "I refuse to believe that you'll never weaken."
He spurred the divine power of his incarnation, and the destroyed body and severed arm began to regenerate.
Nine great suns appeared above his head.
With a tremor in his arms, the nine suns instantly bore the momentum of heaven and earth to crush down on Luo Yu.
"Waiting for me to weaken?"
The sneer on Luo Yu's face grew even thicker.
His Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations allowed him to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world to recover at any moment.
His immense regenerative ability was simply beyond other people's imagination.
It was also an advantage he had always deliberately concealed.
If not for this, so many enemies would not have been exposed.
Facing the nine raging suns flying towards him, Luo Yu, with one hand wielding the axe, caused his large arm to drive his small arm, whirling it around, tracing a stunning arc in the air.
The diagonally striking axe light hit the suns head-on.
"Boom! Boom!"
Suns exploded in the sky, dazzling the spectators so severely they couldn't see the battle clearly.
All they could hear was one explosion after another.
Every sun, condensed of divine power, shattered before even touching Luo Yu.
When the scene cleared, Luo Yu moved with his axe.
He transformed into a golden streak of light, instantly crossing the entire battlefield.
Amaterasu swung his Bronze Sword to block.
"Clang!"
A sound of metal striking metal rang out, and Luo Yu had already passed through the body of Amaterasu.
Arriving at Amaterasu's back.
He slowly withdrew the axe.
Amaterasu's body stiffened, mouth agape: "You... you..."
Before the words were finished, the bronze war sword in Amaterasu's hands instantly snapped.
Along with the sword, the head that it guarded behind was also cleanly severed.
Rolling toward the ground.
Luo Yu shook his head, his voice calm, "A sneak attack, petty tricks."
"The deities of Takamanopara, nothing more."
"Boom boom!"
The avatar of Amaterasu rapidly began to break apart.
The axe that struck moments ago was imbued with the destructive Dao Principle Force of the Great God Pangu.
It was not just a simple beheading, the remaining force of destruction had already begun wreaking havoc inside the adversary's body, quickly leaving Amaterasu's body riddled with holes.
The momentum swiftly diminished.
Amaterasu's eyes were filled with unwillingness; he had not expected that even after devising a flawless plan, he would be cut down by Luo Yu, the man at the end of his tether, without any force left even to resist.
To kill this youngster now, one had to dispatch the true form.
Even the coming of a deity's avatar was not enough to best this youngster.
What made Amaterasu feel most outrageous was that Luo Yu had displayed strength that clearly surpassed limits.
Why wasn't the Heavenly Punishment Force descending to destroy Luo Yu?
"Boom!"
Amaterasu's massive divine form exploded in the air.
For the citizens of Great Xia, it was as if they had witnessed the most spectacular and brilliant fireworks of their lives.
But for the citizens of other powers, they were now extremely fearful.
If even the avatar of a deity couldn't prevail, didn't that make Luo Yu invincible?
"Don't waste it."
Luo Yu flicked his sleeve towards the void.
With his perfected Great Divine Power, capable of Picking Stars and Grabbing the Moon, Universe in the Sleeve, he acted.
In an instant, all the scattered divine energy was absorbed.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Luo Yu turned all the energy into a rainbow light that flew into the alchemy furnace.
After the energy of the deities nourished it,
The Elixir that was already taking shape evolved anew, becoming even more perfect.
"Swish swish swish!"
The Eight Trigram Alchemy Furnace burst open with a loud sound.
In the sky, the radiance of Samadhi True Fire blazed furiously.
Just when others thought Luo Yu had failed, all the Samadhi True Fire quickly receded, absorbed by a golden, shining Elixir.
The sky was still dark; Luo Yu frowned.
With a fierce glance, Chaotic Qi Flow shot forth.
In an instant, the dark firmament was torn apart, and warm and gentle sunlight shone through.
The first ray of sunlight landed on his exceptionally handsome face.
Within a thousand li of Mt. Li, he alone stood above the void,
Bathing in the endless radiance of light.
That golden Elixir, with divine lights coursing over its surface and emanating different Dao Principle Forces, glimmered.
All the spectators were stunned.
"Directly using godly beings and the God's Children as nourishment to start the alchemy furnace?"
"This..."
The citizens of Great Xia, however, started to get excited.
Cheers echoed in every corner of every base city, persistent and unending.
"Champion, we are the champions!"
"First place in the world championships."
"Who was it that predicted that our Great Xia had not even a single-digit chance of winning?"
"Who was it, come on, step forward!!"
"Awesome!"
"Godchild, awesome!!"
Countless people almost shouted their throats sore, but still, they kept on shouting.
This world championship was entirely carried by Luo Yu alone, for Great Xia and the whole world.
How magnificent?
"The undisputed number one God's Child of the world!!!"
At this moment, Luo Yu was completely unaware of the public fervor.
Looking at the golden Elixir, a rare smile appeared on his face.
This Elixir, forged from the bodies of thousands of deities, God's Children, and peak Transcendent Powerhouses, how could its efficacy be simple?
Luo Yu opened his mouth and inhaled; the golden Elixir instantly flew into his mouth with a whoosh.
The Elixir's power dissolved in an instant.
A Golden Core swallowed within, my destiny under my own command, not dictated by heaven.
"Boom!"
Auras exploded from Luo Yu's body, as myriad distinct Dao Principle Forces surged forth.
