Chapter 1 The Vast Expanse

Located on the edge of Anze, a vast, perpetually ice-covered expanse, countless glaciers and ice rivers lay beneath a dark sky rent by a massive tear.

Within, crimson light spilled from the fissure.

Gazing into the rift, one could see a dense, swirling mass of light bubbles forming and bursting. White was the dominant color, as rainbow-hued bubbles continuously surrounded and assaulted the white.

"This is the Anze battlefield?"

Below, within a glacier, two figures cloaked in white, their faces obscured by an eerie, pale halo, peered up at the aerial battlefield.

"More precisely, it's the battlefield of the Exile Lands near Anze. According to our research, the essence of the Exile Lands is the carving out of a section of Anze's spacetime, the annihilation of all life within, and its use as a battlefield for gods," one rasped.

"How many Destruction Ritual arrays have been deployed?"

"Approximately seventy-two, with a small portion remaining."

Landier understood that attack. Ke Ge Ke Ge attacks were effective against all types of divine kingdoms, only extremely high defense could break through.

He slowed down and stopped only when he was very close and far away from other divine kingdoms.

With his current realm, plus the power of the nourished golden sword, even he wasn't sure what level it could reach.

And that was before even entering the interior to shatter the divine fire.

"Let's try it."

"However, the surface of a divine kingdom is extremely tough, and strengthened by divinity, with a thick layer of divine power enveloping the inner layer.

Normal weapons are completely ineffective, and only extremely high-intensity, mutated elemental attacks can damage it. I wonder…”

*Chi!*

Most of them were much smaller than Li Cheng, with only a few larger, their surfaces reflecting various patterns and symbols representing the gods. Obviously, they were strengthened.

"The Astral Realm contains all historical traces of past worlds, and countless pieces of information from remnants of once-powerful figures. It is a collection of information, also the abyss of knowledge. Useful, useless, dangerous, uncertain – all impurities are cast out by the various planes, discarded into the Astral Realm. Of course, there are many adventurers and travelers trying to salvage ancient legacies. After all, this place is also known as the Divine Graveyard. When gods completely fall, they will be pulled into the Astral Realm and slumber in its depths."

Slowly, he raised the sword high above his head.

"Understood. However, if the gods notice, how should we resolve it?"

"Okay."

Apart from the Flower God's Robe, he really didn't have any means to instantly inflict large-scale damage.

After their final exchange, the two looked up at the rift battlefield in the sky, silently melting into two puddles of wax, instantly vaporizing into white smoke and disappearing without a trace.

It belonged to Mo Sha, and was a part of its main body.

Against such massive individuals, his previous swordsmanship and strength were not very applicable.

"Just a Ke Ge Ke Ge divine kingdom… troublesome indeed." It took two strikes to break the outer layer of a weak divine kingdom. He could see that Sun Fengyi's sword was just a test, but he could see the divine kingdom's surface rapidly caving in, cut open with a huge gash, revealing the pure green aura within. This space wasn't completely dark, but overall white, with some inexplicable wreckage and unknown creatures floating past from time to time. From the moment he first saw the other party, he recognized that Landier was definitely not a native existence of Li Cheng. The intense, ancient aura, evil and vast, forced him to concentrate fully and be vigilant, in case he was inadvertently affected by the other party's mind.

Landier was too lazy to waste words, and raised his sword again.

No wonder gods retreat into their divine kingdoms to ensure their safety. So it seems, it really is a turtle shell. The Astral Realm had no air, completely vacuum, mixed with a large amount of chaotic matter and energy. "Hurry, the Pure White Praise has deep roots here, we can directly swallow their network and save time."

*Shua!*

While explaining, he also observed Landier.

Before long, the entire divine kingdom vibrated slightly, with some kind of giant beast roaring, exploding open. Landier felt that the difficulty was indeed a bit high. A large opening appeared on the surface of the divine kingdom, but quickly the opening was compensated by the surrounding wriggling, disappearing without a trace.

After tens of thousands of holy spirits self-destructed and disappeared, the two golden sword lights also dimmed, leaving behind a huge gap, flying back towards Sun Fengyi.

"The first to fit your requirements is the Elven God System." Anze pointed. m.zbzw.ζà

The sword light whooshed into a small sword pouch at his waist and disappeared without a trace. After confirming the location, he continued to approach the next divine kingdom. Countless dense Hui swords superimposed on the golden long sword. At the same time, a semi-transparent, illusory golden sword shadow emerged, merging with the long sword in Sun Fengyi's hand.

The god Sun Feng said in a deep voice. Sun Fengyi didn't hold back at all with that strike, a full power, warmed blade eruption.

Even the smallest divine kingdom was hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The damage from just now wouldn't have any impact.

But Sun Fengyi didn't care at all. The angrier and more humiliated the other party was, the better. Otherwise, where would the evil thoughts come from?

Anze followed closely behind, without saying a word. Only his palms clenched unconsciously. "Also, holy spirits can rapidly absorb the power of the Astral Realm, converting it into the basic energy needed by the divine kingdom, maintaining operation, and also acting as guards. With enough of the powerful holy spirits, they can even unite to fight against powerful gods like you." Anze said again. He paused and added, *Chi!*

Anze glanced at Landier. "Let Grey Oak come, he is best at parasitic control of that kind."

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a golden storm thousands of meters in diameter, and crashed into the surface of the brown divine kingdom.

"So it seems, it's indeed very mysterious... So what about the divine kingdoms?" Sun Fengyi swept around slightly, then focused his attention on the divine kingdoms.

The same was true below.

A massive golden sword light, far more dazzling than before, suddenly shot out, and fell towards that divine kingdom. Immediately, a group of slightly dim green, blue, and brown spheres appeared in Landier's sight. Another huge golden light swept up a large amount of astral matter and energy, and slammed into the surface of the divine kingdom.

As for such powerful existences, they were commonly referred to as Outer Gods. Most importantly, holy spirits could be endlessly revived in the divine kingdom, and were not afraid of death. "This is the vast space where the planes are located, what you commonly call the Astral Realm."

He was expressionless, and rapidly approached the Elven God System's divine kingdom group. He stared at a brown, dying fish divine kingdom. A man was covered in wounds, trembling, giving Landier a fearful salute, before returning to the divine kingdom and disappearing without a trace. The sword light desperately fought against the surface of the divine kingdom, splashing countless fine red sparks. He stretched out his hand, countless golden lights condensing in his palm, turning into a slender golden sword. That exceeded the power limit of Pan Guang by a lot. That aura was impossible for non-gods to detect.

"Only ants." Landier said lightly.

"Makes sense, so what's the time limit?"

Just like what Landier saw at this moment, above Sun Feng, there were dozens of large and small spheres of various colors.

The so-called divine kingdoms, he could tell at a glance, those colorful bubble-like things were smaller spheres. "Sure enough, recovery is very strong," Sun Fengyi praised.

Anze on the side, watching the huge golden sword light that was almost as wide as the divine kingdom, his expression changed slightly. Anze continued, "This is the Astral Realm?" Landier watched the surrounding space with great interest.

"Those are holy spirits, the powerful hands obtained by gods transforming pure and devout faith souls," Anze explained. "Go!"

They were like giant burgers, sandwiching Li Cheng in the center. All the spheres extended wisps of tendrils, linked to Li Cheng's body, watching it rotate on its own. He was using the real, physical sword that he had been nurturing in the sword pouch. The sword light rapidly mobilized astral matter and energy on the way, turning into a new golden storm column, gently striking.

"Complete it within ten years."

"Again." Landier raised his sword again.

Not long after the two flew into the divine kingdom, the divine kingdom shuddered slightly, with some kind of giant beast roaring, exploding open. Landier's mind flowed through all the powers he had mastered. The Mo Sha sphere, in general, contained Li Cheng, and the divine kingdoms grasped by many gods. He suddenly waved. The second nourished golden sword reappeared.

"The power of the Elven God System is more than one notch weaker than it was thousands of years ago, so if you want to make a move, they are the most suitable."

Anze watched from the side, without saying a word, just continued watching.

But very quickly, the beast roar disappeared, and the two flew out again. The wound on the divine kingdom behind them rapidly healed, and a green-haired man wearing grey heavy armor flew out from within. That meant that as long as the other party was willing, he had no life insurance in front of him.

Golden light condensed again. The strong people in this place had almost maxed out their recovery, completely taking a different path from the Earth and Moon.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look." He discarded the idea in his mind, and headed straight towards that.

Those were all created based on fighting small individual enemies. The true way to fight a large area of enemies was... One after another, shining golden holy spirits shot out from the opening. Most of them were pointed-eared, humanoid elves, angrily wielding weapons, attacking the giant golden light. The two sword lights finally completely shattered the struggling holy spirits. They roared, self-destructing like fireworks, pouncing towards the two golden swords. At this time, as soon as the Chop Wave came out, it immediately drove a large amount of surrounding impurities, rapidly expanding. He held the sword blade downwards and instantly slashed out a golden Chop Wave.
