Lord of the Earth

"Houtu!"

Upon discovering that the object that had materialized opposite her was actually a statue of the goddess Houtu, the Spider Queen's alluring face showed a noticeable change in expression for the first time.

It wasn't fear, but a solemn feeling of encountering an unexpected opponent.

This is because, although they are all true gods, their combat power varies.

Houtu, as one of the "Four Emperors" in human legend, governs the earth and the rules of reincarnation, and is undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse among the true gods.

"It's just a phantom that has long since perished, leaving only the imprint of faith! Even if you once reached that level, how much power can you unleash now?"

Rose the Spider Queen's voice was cold and authoritative, showing no sign of backing down.

After all, she was an ancient evil god who had traversed the abyss and devoured countless worlds, and she instantly suppressed the turmoil in her heart.

Amidst the shrieking sound, the eight enormous spider-like limbs of her lower body danced at a speed that transcended the concept of space and time. Each stroke seemed to weave the laws of death, cutting not just simple spatial rifts, but directly triggering chaos and annihilation in the underlying rules! The dense dark divine power was no longer a tide, but had transformed into a "void abyss" that devoured everything, carrying the ultimate malice of corroding all laws and ending everything, silently spreading towards the statue of Houtu!

Wherever it passed, it did not simply cause the void to collapse, but rather the very existence of itself was erased, turning into the most primordial chaos!
"Buzz!"

The statue of Houtu stood as steady as a rock, its primordial aura growing even heavier, as if bearing the weight of countless worlds. As the rice stalks swayed, life was no longer merely healing, but evolved into the vibrant spirit of the beginning of creation, forming a stark contrast with the power of the "end" opposite.

The illusory image of the "underworld" formed by the rotating pearl violently trembled under the impact of the void abyss, yet stubbornly stabilized itself. The power of reincarnation, like a perpetual motion machine, pulled the erased fragments of "existence" back into the cycle of life and death, preventing that "nothingness" from spreading completely.

What made the Spider Queen's gaze narrow slightly was that, under the impact of her ultimate dark divine power, the "underworld" not only did not collapse, but instead absorbed a few fragments of the rules that had been obliterated during the confrontation, becoming even more solid!
Ancient stone steps faintly emerge from the Road to the Underworld, and the River of Oblivion ripples with ethereal light...

This statue of Houtu is actually using her attacks to temper and complete itself!

"How dare you use me?! How dare you!"

The Spider Queen's voice carried a hint of offended anger.

"Then I will show you what the true wrath of God is!"

She stopped testing them, and the ghastly green light in her eight eyes transformed into tangible law runes that flowed out.

The enormous spider phantom completely merged with her true form, her aura suddenly soaring, and the entire "Dark Palace" expanded accordingly, as if transforming into an independent miniature abyss universe! She opened her gigantic maw, and this time what she spewed out was not needles or webs, but a stream of primordial darkness so black it seemed capable of swallowing even light!
Wherever this beam passes, time stands still and cause and effect are broken. This is an attack that touches the dark side of the universe's origin, enough to fundamentally dismantle any form of "existence" and "order"!
"My land is inviolable by any law!"

Faced with this terrifying blow, Xia Tian remained solemn, but her eyes were still firm, and she did not hesitate to activate another trump card!
"When the Purple Star descends, all things return to their origin!"

The light of the North Star, the Purple Star, pierced through layers of spatial barriers, becoming even more dazzling than before!
Behind Xia Tian, ​​a statue of the Ziwei Emperor, standing on the sun and moon with stars flowing around him, suddenly materialized.

The stars on his imperial robes seemed to come alive, slowly rotating. An unparalleled will that governs the heavens and establishes order descended, complementing the nurturing power of the Earth Goddess.

The power of Ziwei transformed into chains of divine order, crisscrossing and attempting to forcibly regulate the primordial dark current that was destroying all order!

"It's him? A mere human dynasty actually received the protection of two true gods...!"

"Unfortunately, if I were to arrive in person, I might still be somewhat wary! But a mere projection dares to obstruct me?!"

The Spider Queen snorted coldly, recognizing the source of the power, but the arrogance in her tone did not diminish much.

"A mere avatar is not enough to warrant the presence of a true god of my human race... The Supreme Heavenly Dao, with stars as its sword. Today, I shall slay a true god!"

Xia Tian raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand once more.

This time, the sword was not only entwined with the majestic imperial dragon energy and the power of merit, but also infused with the dazzling power of the Purple Star!

With a single swing of the sword, it was no longer a simple golden sword aura, but a dazzling sword river containing the trajectory of the stars in the heavens, seemingly capable of stabilizing the universe and dividing the galaxy!
Within the Sword River, stars are born and die, and imperial stars patrol the heavens. Its power is several times stronger than the simple Human Emperor Sword Qi before!
"Chichichichi——!"

The Star Sword River, imbued with the power of the Purple Star, collided with the torrent of billions of dark divine needles, producing drastically different effects!

The power of the stars possessed unparalleled penetrating and purifying effects. The dark needles seemed to have met their nemesis, either shattered by the star power or directly dispersed and annihilated by the majesty of the imperial star! The Sword River surged forward unstoppably, instantly dismantling most of the Spider Queen's offensive!

"Your rules are utterly insignificant before the stars and earth of my human race!"

Summer's voice was like thunder from the heavens, carrying the might of two emperors, and its momentum rose to its peak.

With his left hand, he gestured, and the Wheel of Reincarnation in the hand of the Houtu statue slowly rotated, emitting the power of reincarnation that draws souls and defines Yin and Yang; with his right hand, the Human Emperor Sword pointed at the Spider Queen, and the starlight around the phantom of the Ziwei Emperor condensed into countless starlight swords, locking onto every energy node of the Spider Queen's incarnation!
"Houtu governs reincarnation, Ziwei controls the stars! Both rulers witness this, and I decree that you—your body and soul—will be annihilated!"

Summer finally unleashed her true trump card.

He briefly merged the powers of the two Emperors. Although he could not unleash even a fraction of their true power, it was enough to deal with a true god avatar at this moment!
The power of Houtu transformed into an invisible shackle of reincarnation, spreading from the earth and the void, wrapping around the Spider Queen's incarnation, slowing her movements and eroding her divinity; the power of Ziwei star transformed into an ultimate starlight that pierced through heaven and earth, like a heavenly punishment descended by the Emperor Star, carrying the supreme will to judge all gods and restore the universe, striking first and instantly piercing through the Spider Queen's incarnation's "dark palace"!
"You can actually draw upon the power of two Emperors simultaneously?!"

The Spider Queen was truly horrified this time, her voice filled with a hint of panic.

Houtu was already difficult to deal with, but adding Ziwei Emperor, who held the power over the stars and was also one of the Four Emperors, was completely beyond her expectations!
This has gone beyond the scope of ordinary god-level confrontations, involving the rules of higher levels, the second heaven, and even the third heaven!

"The Abyss Palace!"

In the face of crisis, the Spider Queen revealed the true power of an ancient evil god.

Her entire avatar instantly transformed into the purest dark energy, seemingly merging with the entire "Dark Temple," becoming ethereal and difficult to lock onto. The sword pierced through her body, causing a violent energy shock, but failed to completely annihilate her.

"Human Emperor! I underestimated your power and that of the two behind you. I never expected that the will of two true gods would be willing to assist an emperor who has only just stepped into the realm of gods!"

The Spider Queen reformed her form, her aura slightly disordered.

But his eyes were even colder and filled with murderous intent.

"But how can you fathom the power of a true god? This avatar is enough to destroy your entire city!"

She formed a strange and complex hand seal, and the entire dark hall began to collapse inward. Endless darkness and curse power surged into her body, and her aura surged again, even exceeding the limit that this space could bear!

She was prepared to unleash a truly forbidden technique, even if it meant the complete destruction of this avatar, she would drag Xia Tian and this entire region down with her!
"Hmph, play until the end? Did I give permission?" However, Xia Tian's voice carried an undeniable authority.

The next moment, the "Qianxia Imperial Seal" suddenly appeared in Xia Tian's hand, emitting a glassy light. Immediately afterwards, the "sun and moon light" from the sky enveloped Xia Tian.

This caused his aura to surge, and he completely broke through the "first level of the God level," reaching a certain forbidden level.

At the same time, he communicated with the "underworld" which had been initially stabilized, and pushed the "sealing" property of the Ziwei star power to its limit!

"Houtu Reincarnation, Suppress!"

"Purple Star Lock, seal!"

The newly formed "Houtu Temple" suddenly descended, and the power of reincarnation transformed into an invisible giant millstone, beginning to crush and transform the collapsing dark energy.

Meanwhile, the power of the Ziwei star transformed into a giant net of stars that blotted out the sky, with each star acting as a tiny sealing node, forcibly severing the connection between the Spider Queen's incarnation and the abyss outside, and binding her rampaging power layer by layer!
"Eternal Will, you dare to oppose me..."

The Spider Queen finally let out a roar of shock and anger. She discovered that not only was her self-destruction prevented, but her power was also being rapidly stripped away and transformed!

This power is the result of the blessing of the eternal will, combined with the power of two human true gods, and is unleashed under the authority of the Qianxia dynasty!

All of this, naturally, is because of the "Imperial Seal of the State" in Xia Tian's possession.

Like the Great Wall of the Human Race, this treasure has been further enhanced to the level of a "True Divine Artifact" through the "Glass Treasure Chest"!

Perhaps, facing a complete true god, one lacks the power to suppress, but a mere avatar is sufficient to deal with it!
"Houtu, Ziwei... Qianxia! I will remember this... When the passage between the two realms is fully opened... I will avenge this grudge..."

Before her consciousness was completely obliterated by the power of reincarnation, the Spider Queen's avatar sent out a mental message filled with extreme resentment and venom.

"I will wait."

Summer's expression was blank, her tone calm yet containing an unparalleled majesty that looked down upon all the heavens.

"At that time, the sword in my hand will slay more than just your avatar."

With the complete annihilation of the Spider Queen's avatar, the "Dark Temple," summoned by the sacrifice of the four Dark Elf goddesses, lost its core support and began to shake violently, with countless cracks spreading out like a spider web.

Finally, it collapsed completely amidst a deafening roar, transforming into pure dark energy.

However, before this energy could spread, it was completely purified and absorbed by the statue of Houtu.

Instead, it became the final foundation stone for the newly built "Houtu Temple - Underworld", making it completely stable and clear!

hum!
On the battlefield, the lingering souls of some Qianxia soldiers who had just bravely sacrificed their lives in battle were drawn together as if by divine inspiration, transforming into specks of light and peacefully entering the hall...

With a flash of light, Xia Tian's figure reappeared on the "Altar of Heaven," his robes fluttering, spotless, only his eyes were more profound like the starry sky, and the imperial aura emanating from him was even more magnificent and heavy, like the ruler of heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the outcomes of several other key battles were also decided.

The battle between "Ghost God Lü Bu" and the Demon Scorpion Emperor was extremely fierce. Lü Bu's vengeful ghost flames were burning to their limit, and every swing of his halberd was filled with a mad desire to perish together with the Demon Scorpion Emperor.
After realizing they were outmatched, the latter attempted to escape into the divine realm in the clouds.

However, the overtaking "Ghost God Lu Bu" cleaved open the hardest scorpion head carapace of the Demon Scorpion Emperor with a single halberd, picked out its heart, which represented the core of divine power, and swallowed it whole!
"Buzz!"

The Scorpion Emperor let out a final, unwilling roar, his divine body crashing to the ground. His poisonous blood corroded the earth, but was purified by the Qianxia sorcerer who had been prepared beforehand, using an array to seal it away.

Its soul was absorbed by the "Dragon Soul Banner" and transformed into a "Dragon Soul General" of the genius level, to be enslaved and served by the human race for eternity!
"The Overlord has fallen!"

"Get out of here! Go underground!"

The surviving Scorpion-people soldiers were terrified and attempted to escape by burrowing underground, relying on their natural ability.

However, as soon as they descended underground, they encountered a silent army of terracotta warriors emerging from the depths of the earth, clad in terracotta armor!
Puff puff!

With spears like a forest and crossbows firing in unison, they annihilated all the underground visitors.

On the other side, Zhao Yun and Ao Qingxin joined forces, and the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Jade shone with boundless brilliance. The spear light and dragon breath merged into one, transforming into an indestructible spiral storm that completely engulfed the last three mountain spirits who were still putting up a stubborn fight and whose bodies were already broken! After the storm, only rubble containing divine essence was left on the ground.

"This is a divine ingredient; we can't waste it!"

The legendary physician Hua Tuo, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and happily collected the stones stained with divine blood. These were one of the key materials for refining parts of the ancient curse of the human race.

"A boundless sea of ​​blood? I will burn the heavens with the Vermilion Bird!"

Wu Qi's Vermilion Bird Legion changed its battle formation, and the raging Southern Ming Fire transformed into a fiery divine bird that covered the heavens and the earth, directly evaporating the blood sea of ​​vampires that was trying to spread. The vampire prince within turned to ashes amidst screams.

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

The sea creature army that attempted to retreat by sea was bombarded by the Xuanwu Legion in conjunction with the "Mechanical Divine Kingdom" formed by Qi Jiguang. Their divine kingdom, which commanded the gods, was forcibly shot down from the void and fell into the cold seabed like a meteorite, never to be seen again.

"The Universe Escape Technique!"

The white-haired old Taoist priest from the Tai Xuan Sect, who had been severely injured by Li Bai's sword energy, saw that the situation was hopeless. He gritted his teeth and used a secret technique, turning his body into a wisp of green smoke as he tried to escape into the earth.

"Hmph, you petty scoundrel. You think you can escape once you've entered my Qianxia territory?"

However, as soon as he entered the underground, he encountered a majestic deity, as imposing as a mountain – none other than Wu Song, who had been appointed as the "Lord of Mount Tai"!

"Crash!"

The illusory image of the "Heavenly Prison" behind Wu Song opened, and countless chains flashing with law runes flew out, binding the old Taoist tightly like serpents, and dragging him directly into the depths of the Heavenly Prison to "reunite" with the Tai Xuan Sect patriarchs who had been captured earlier.

Thus, all the invading alien gods and their main armies were completely annihilated or suppressed! (End of Chapter)
