Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Gao Yang withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "You can all come at me together. I don't have much time to waste."

He didn't look at anyone in particular, but the moment his words fell, a chill ran through the hearts of everyone on the Ascending God Plain.

Zheng!
A piercing sword cry soared into the sky, and a dazzling sword light rose from the ground, reaching straight to the heavens. A bone-chilling coldness pressed down with the appearance of this sword light.

Gao Yang slowly clenched his well-defined right hand, and a silver-white greatsword was slowly drawn from the void beside him.

Platinum-gold battle aura slowly rose from his body, covering the silver-white greatsword under the watchful eyes of many legends.

A sense of foreboding arose in the hearts of many legends.

"Since you're being so polite, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Gao Yang's gaze fell on Yongyao's sword. With a slight thought, his originally calm and gentle fighting spirit instantly became violent.

Platinum-gold battle aura continuously poured into Yongyao, causing the space around the greatsword to distort and vibrate, making Gao Yang appear somewhat blurry in everyone's perception.

Some of the legendary figures on the periphery began to retreat silently. Their movements were so slow and subtle that even some of the nearby legendary powerhouses were too engrossed to notice.

Kong! !

The battlefield of ascending to godhood suddenly fell silent, and then everyone saw a blazing white sun slowly rising from the earth.

The blazing sun recklessly released the light and heat unique to stars, and streaks of platinum-gold sword energy spread like sunlight to every corner of the battlefield of ascending to godhood.

If this scene were placed in another dimension, it would be an ordinary and commonplace picture of the sun rising.

However, in the battlefield of ascending to godhood, the appearance of this blazing white sun was a catastrophe for all beings present.

The platinum-gold sword energy illuminated the earth, which should have been a very warm scene, but the many legends present could only feel the chilling and cruel killing intent emanating from the sunlight.

Under the radiance of the sword energy and sunlight, in an instant, all sorts of bizarre defensive methods were pierced through. The sunlight, as if penetrating every crevice, burrowed into the bodies of numerous legends, causing screams to shake the heavens.

Three breaths later, Gao Yang sensed that the Dengshen Plain had been cleared, and his gaze fell on the two mid-level deities closest to him.

Under the sword light of "Catastrophe - Realm Without Darkness", even they could only struggle to hold on.

As for the other five weak deities, like many other legends, they had already melted away in the sword energy and sunlight, leaving only five rhombus-shaped divine cores of different colors quietly floating under the sunlight.

Gao Yang casually swung his sword down, and the platinum sun that had suddenly risen beneath the blood-red sky crashed down from the heavens.

The two mid-level deities unleashed their divine power as if it were free, attempting to resist the platinum sun falling from the sky.

Rumble~
The earth trembled violently, and endless, dazzling light burst forth the moment the platinum sun fell to earth, turning the world into a blazing white.

The blazing white light engulfed everything and lasted for several tens of seconds before slowly dissipating.

Gao Yang waved his hand, dispelling the remaining blazing white light.

He reached out and grasped, and seven divine sparks flew over and landed in his hand.

Without even looking at them, he put them all into his backpack.

This sword strike slew seven deities and over five hundred legendary figures, yielding over eight hundred life essence crystals and more than forty attribute fragments. The greatest gain was the thirteen divine sparks that the seven deities released.

The existence of the divine spark can directly enhance the strength of Eternal Radiance and the power of the authority it wields.

Gao Yang sat cross-legged on the ground again, with the Zhuxian Sword Domain shrunk to the size of a basketball in front of him.

Within the Zhuxian Sword Domain, there was a bound mass of blood.

I glanced at the network panel; there were still ten and a half hours until the Abyss Trial began.

Gao Yang took out the Kui Python light meal from his backpack and began to eat continuously.

As his attributes increased, his body's energy requirements also increased. In the past, two Kui Python meals could provide him with the energy for about ten days of normal activities.

But now, after eating ten servings of Kui Mang simple meals, he still doesn't feel full at all.

It seemed that there was a gluttonous beast in his stomach that could devour everything, crushing and digesting food as soon as it hit the ground, completely absorbing it in a very short time.

After eating a full fifteen servings of Kui Mang simple meals and three Vitality Kroo Fruits, Gao Yang finally felt the fullness of his stomach.

With a casual wave of his hand, the scattered lunch boxes around him were shattered into dust.

After doing all this, he sighed softly.

If he continues to grow stronger, his energy needs will only become more exaggerated in the future.

Power comes at a price. For the vast majority of intelligent beings in extraordinary planes, their power can be maintained by absorbing various energies existing in the world. The more powerful a being is, the more energy it needs.

However, under normal circumstances, the combination of absorbing energy and eating is sufficient to meet the needs of most creatures in other planes.

But this is the normal situation. For the many gods who stand at the top of the multiverse, once they become gods, they no longer need energy. The power of faith is their only need now and in the future.

As for those legendary beings whose strength is comparable to that of gods but who have no intention of becoming gods, they lack the support of faith, and the energy contained in the world and food is far from sufficient for their normal consumption.

This raises the question of the source of energy.

Of course, in most cases, they all have their own ways of replenishing their energy.

For Gao Yang, the best way to replenish his energy is to fly into a star and absorb the energy that it constantly emits.

But for him, who was currently in the midst of a bloody battle, this was not a suitable way to replenish his energy.

Moreover, given his current attributes, if he were to absorb everything at full power, he could absorb the energy of an entire star in a short period of time.

Moreover, while stars may have enough energy in quantity, they may lack in quality.

The most suitable energy source for him is Krogo, while the dimensional core solution is the best.

However, during his fifty years of arduous cultivation, he had exhausted the dimensional core solution, as had the dimensional core inventory, leaving only seventeen units, which were intended to restore his condition in times of crisis.

With a flash of light, a test tube appeared in Gao Yang's hand. Looking at the pale golden dimensional core solution inside the test tube, he thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and swallowed the test tube.

After swallowing it, Gao Yang took out another hundred Life Essence Crystals from his backpack and began refining them.

Ten hours was more than enough time for him to completely refine these hundred crystals of life essence.

In the blink of an eye, ten hours had passed in Gao Yang's refining process. During these ten hours, no one dared to set foot on the Ascension Plain.

His fame has resounded throughout the battlefield with the deaths of one renowned legend after another. The blood and broken bones of countless powerful warriors, mixed with the shattered bodies of gods and the fragmented space, have ultimately forged the illustrious reputation that belongs exclusively to the "Sword Master of Calamity".

This is evident from his ever-growing legendary reputation.

In less than two days, his legendary reputation was already close to the two thousand mark.

His gaze fell on the void in front of him, where there was a line of small words.

[Abyss Experience: 0 days, 0 hours, 9 minutes, 57 seconds]

With only ten minutes left before the next Abyss Trial, Gao Yang closed the text in front of him and focused his gaze on the blood mass bound by the Immortal Execution Sword Domain.

It’s almost time!

Gao Yang's eyes flickered slightly. This was a small test, and also his first formal contact with the higher-ups of the Pantheon.

With a thought, Gao Yang directly unfolded the Zhuxian Sword Domain that enveloped the blood cluster, completely exposing the blood cluster within.

The moment the volleyball-sized blood ball was exposed to the air, it began to tremble violently as if it were being boiled. The misty blood vapor continuously dissipated from the blood ball and instantly disappeared into the surrounding space.

Gao Yang watched the mass of blood act without making any move.

One minute later, the blood sphere, amidst violent tremors, had transformed into a cloud of blood mist, covering a circular cross-section approximately one meter in diameter.

The moment the blanket was laid out, a rustling sound reached Gao Yang's ears.

The circular cross-section, like the surface of water, began to ripple.

The ripples were generated faster and faster, and the instant the ripples covered the entire circular cross-section, a scarlet scratch appeared, dividing the circular cross-section in two.

laugh!
A hand with skin as red as blood emerged from the scarlet scratches. The moment the hand appeared, an overwhelming stench of blood assaulted Gao Yang's senses.

Gao Yang sat quietly on the ground, watching the scene intently.

boo~
A drop of blood emerged from the shattered earth, then two, three, and in the blink of an eye, countless drops of blood gushed from the dark red soil, drifting in the air as if they had lost gravity.

In the next instant, as if guided, these blood droplets shot towards the sky above Gao Yang's head.

Wow~
As the blood droplets shot out, they continuously converged, eventually transforming into long rivers of blood that rapidly gathered in the sky, along with the blood-red cross-section in front of Gao Yang.

Gao Yang stood up, took a step forward, and his body was already in front of the vortex of blood.

The instant after all the blood on the Plain of Ascension was swallowed and absorbed by the Blood Vortex, the hand that had been there before stabbed out again from the center of the vortex.

This time, it wasn't just a fleeting moment.

The long, beautiful hand clenched slightly, and the space beneath its fingers twisted and deformed. Then, the owner of the hand used this force to slowly pull himself out of the vortex of blood.

First the palms, then the wrists, then the elbows.
In just a few seconds, a towering figure, three meters tall, emerged unharmed from the vortex of blood. His long, scarlet hair flowed behind him without wind, and the hem of his robe, even more crimson than the blood, fluttered in the wind.

His face was like jade, his eyebrows like distant mountains, his eyes like bright stars, his nose like a hanging peak, and his lips like blood. The only pity was that such a handsome man's left eye was not a bright star-like eye, but a dark and empty hole like an abyss.

The moment he appeared, the already crimson sky became even more vivid and scarlet, and a blood-red gale seemed to howl continuously between heaven and earth.

But the man in the long robe at the center of the blood-red gale seemed like an ordinary person, without revealing the slightest aura.

Gao Yang's gaze fell on the hollow of the other person's left eye, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He spoke, his voice as calm as if he were asking an old man he'd known for most of his life if he'd had breakfast yet, "Blood Lord, losing an eye shouldn't affect your life, right?"

The Blood Lord's last remaining eye stared at Gao Yang. After two full breaths, the corners of his flawless face, red lips, turned up slightly, forming a "gentle" curve.

"Of course not, it's just that Gao Yang, you gave me a big surprise."

The man in the crimson robe before him was none other than the Blood Lord, a high-ranking member of the Pantheon who had met Gao Yang once before.

The Blood Lord's smile grew even more amiable as he continued:

"An ant that could have been crushed at will has grown to its current level in such a short period of time."

In fact, this rapid growth has given you the illusion that you can have an equal dialogue with me.

Gao Yang, I apologize for this. I shouldn't have let you have such unrealistic fantasies.

The Blood Lord spoke slowly and calmly, without much emotional fluctuation, but the meaning behind his words was crystal clear.

Gao Yang shrugged nonchalantly and said, "As the saying goes, it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. I don't blame you for this."

Then, before the Blood Lord could speak, Gao Yang continued, "But since you made a mistake, it is my fault."

The smile on the Blood Lord's face froze. His only remaining eye stared at Gao Yang, whose words sounded very humble, even excessively humble.

But Blood Lord instinctively sensed that the other party's words were definitely not an apology to him.

If any Chinese male college student heard these words, he would instantly spring up like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, unleash his Spinosaurus form at Gao Yang, and swiftly retaliate: "I'm your father!"

Unable to figure out the reason, the Blood Lord stopped dwelling on it. He knew in his heart that he had slightly lost this round of verbal exchange.

Gao Yang glanced at him and spoke again: "Seeing that you can't win an argument, you're preparing to fight your father?"

Wow~
The incessant crashing of the waves echoed from the space where the Blood Lord was located, and a blinding blood light shone from the Blood Lord's only remaining eye.

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths!"

The sound burst forth, seemingly piercing through all barriers. Even though Gao Yang tried to block out the Blood Lord's voice with his mental will, the sound still resounded in his heart.

In an instant, Gao Yang realized why.

The Blood Lord conveyed these words to his heart through the sound produced by the flow of his blood.

"Come on, your mistakes are my fault. Let me teach you a lesson, you disobedient beast."

Gao Yang grinned, revealing a sinister smile. Yongyao appeared in his hand at the opportune moment, and with a swing of his arm, he unleashed a powerful slash towards the Blood Lord not far away. (End of Chapter)
