I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

With a single step, Xue Jing vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he arrived in front of the god, raised his right fist and swung it out, intending to punch him out of the center of the skyscraper.

However, even with his extremely fast speed, he still unexpectedly failed to succeed.

The divine being's arm swung across the air, creating ripples. Xue Jing's right fist stopped thirty centimeters away from the divine being, as if blocked by some invisible force.

With a whoosh, he felt an incredibly powerful force descend upon him from nowhere, striking every inch of his body evenly.

"boom--!!"

He was sent flying backward at incredible speed, crashing through all the walls in his path. His Shadow Flame Armor was torn apart, his skin cracked and bleeding profusely, and his muscles, internal organs, and bones were all severely injured in an instant.

"……interesting."

Thick, clear blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Xue Jing wiped it away with his right hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He hadn't been injured in actual combat for a long time, and he felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

The powerful flame of life ignites, and injuries that would be considered severe on an ordinary person are rapidly healed within seconds. With another burst of energy, the blood clinging to the skin is shaken off.

"This ability is similar to Shinra Tensei, making it difficult to approach... If we use a feathered object, the result would probably be the same; even the mass of the Forgotten Greatsword would be directly shaken away by it."

"In this case……"

The divine being in the air tilted its head, with an innocent expression, like a child who had found an interesting toy, and waved its arm at Xue Jing.

Ripples appeared, and amidst the buzzing sound, Xue Jing instantly pulled out a rainbow-colored tail flame, leaving his original position and flying back and forth in the air, circling left and right.

Wherever he went, the air behind him was shaken into a vacuum by some force, generating a violent, typhoon-like airflow that chased after him.

After circling around for a while, Xue Jing suddenly activated Twin Speed, instantly doubling his speed and closing in on the divine being.

This time the speed was much faster than before, but the divine being still reacted. Its ability required no pre-cast animation. If Xue Jing didn't get close, it was fine, but once he did, it only needed to unleash its ability around itself, and then it could wait for Xue Jing to walk right into its trap.

As his arm swung, ripples spread out, swirling around him for several meters.

This time, however, Xue Jing did not rush directly towards the divine being's true form. Instead, he tilted slightly and passed by it at a distance of six meters.

In the instant they passed each other, Xue Jing had a thought, and an invisible giant jaw opened in the void, swallowing the god into nothingness in one gulp.

The non-existent beast is a monster that has no form or size and does not actually exist.

It can only exert its invisible power around Xue Jing's physical body.

Therefore, after swallowing the divine being into nothingness, Xue Jing, who was moving at extremely high speed, pulled the non-existent beast along with the divine being who had been swallowed into nothingness, and instantly left the center of the skyscraper.

In just about a second, the divine being broke free from the invisible barrier, but by then, Xue Jing had already carried it to the air, hundreds of meters away from the center of the skyscraper.

Just as the divine being was wondering why the scenery in front of him had suddenly changed, he was once again swallowed up by the invisible.

In this way, along the Belt and Road Initiative, Shenren was gradually pulled by Xue Jing to a location dozens of miles away from the center of the skyscraper.

……

(I don't know why this part of the story felt so awkward and difficult to write... I'll try to speed things up as much as possible.)

Chapter 285 Turning the Tide, Saving the Collapsed Empire, and Rescuing the People from Disaster (4K)

Not far from the center of the skyscraper, in the Dragon Core fighter jet floating in the air.

Inside the cabin, Ning Yuantai raised his right hand, and the holographic call interface was displayed on his wristband. He continued to dial the number labeled 'Xu Mude' as he operated it.

When he heard another message from the receiver indicating that the call was temporarily unanswered, Ning Yuantai cursed, "Damn it, that bitch."

While continuing to make phone calls, he picked up a pair of binoculars that looked quite high-tech and began to look at the distant battle situation.

Seeing Xue Jing forcibly take away the divine being with the annihilated beast, and the tremors at the center of the skyscraper finally cease, Ning Yuantai couldn't help but sigh:

"As expected of Brother Xue, nothing can stump him."

Suddenly, the call screen showed that the call had been connected.

Ning Yuantai was taken aback.

He didn't have high hopes of getting through to Xu Mude on the phone; he was just trying his best.

After all, his combat strength is not up to par and he can't help Xue Jing much. Going to the battlefield would only be a hindrance. Therefore, he wants to provide Xue Jing with as much help as possible from an intelligence perspective.

The best source of intelligence is naturally Xu Mude, the instigator.

Surprisingly, the call actually went through.

He immediately held the bracelet to his mouth and cursed:

"Xu Mude, I'll fuck your mother...!!"

Before the friendly greeting could be finished, Xu Mude impatiently interrupted him on the other end of the phone:

“Hey Ning, stop talking nonsense. My men have already contacted me. Tell Xue Jing for me that I’ve dealt with most of the divine beings. Only three escaped. Two of them aren’t much of a threat, but there’s one special individual that’s quite troublesome…”

Xu Mude quickly recounted the abilities of the special individual.

"...Tell him that as long as he can resolve this matter before the government officials arrive, the Xu family will give him a big gift!"

Without waiting for Ning Yuantai's reply, he immediately hung up the phone.

In order not to interrupt this potentially important information for Xue Jing, Ning Yuantai held back from scolding Xu Mude, and the call ended before he could vent his anger.

Hearing the dial tone after the phone call ended, his entire body erupted with crimson energy, like a Saiyan exploding with power.

His new martial art, Crimson Lotus Volcanic Flow, is not yet very stable.

"That motherless bastard..."

Ning Yuantai said angrily.

He didn't even bother pretending anymore; he just said his surname was Ning.

When has Young Master Ning ever suffered such injustice?

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the fluctuations of his energy, and dispersing the crimson aura around him, Ning Yuantai waved his hand, pointing towards the battlefield where Xue Jing was:

"Who does he think he is, daring to bring his plane over here! I have something to say to Brother Xue!"

……

"Om-"

A buzzing sound rang out, and the air vibrated. Following his instincts, Xue Jing ducked to avoid it. Looking up, he saw a violent burst of airflow suddenly erupt within a range of three or four meters above him, creating a vacuum zone.

He was blown backwards by the strong airflow for more than ten meters before he came to a stop.

Before he could catch his breath, an invisible force descended once more, and Xue Jing was once again running around frantically.

While dodging the pursuit of the invisible force, he took a moment to glance at the panel.

"This is quite a drain..."

The Shadowflame skill bar was now dim and almost empty, with little mana remaining.

He had been fighting continuously all day. His physical strength was fine, as he possessed health preservation skills and had extremely high energy. However, his divine skills were being severely depleted.

Especially Shadowflame, although it is his only divine skill that has reached Lv10 and has an extremely thick mana bar, it is almost empty now.

Most of the consumption came from the Beasts of No Return, especially the operation of continuously swallowing the God-Man and taking him away from the center of the Sky Tower, which consumed more than half of Shadow Flame's mana in a short period of time.

The more fiercely a creature struggles after being swallowed by the Beast of Nothingness, the greater its energy expenditure.

Because of his special ability whose principles are unknown, this divine being struggled with an absurd force. Even when he was swallowed by the non-existent beast, he could not struggle to this extent.

Xue Jing frowned as he observed the divine being who kept creating ripples in the void with his arms.

After thinking for a moment, he had a thought, and an invisible rift opened in the void beside him, from which the Night-Shining Blade and the Forgotten Greatsword emerged.

"Let's try to see if there are any gaps..."

With a flick of his finger, the Night-Shining Blade and the Forgotten Greatsword dodged aside.

The Great Ascension Flying Sword was activated, and the two divine weapons simultaneously unleashed their most penetrating ultimate techniques, cutting through the sky and tearing out white sonic boom clouds. With a thunderous roar, they pierced towards the divine being in the air, one after the other.

The Forgotten Greatsword struck first, but was deflected by a wave of the divine being's hand, causing it to stop in front of him, unable to get any closer. Then, with a bang, it was bounced away and spun hundreds of meters away.

Just as the Forgotten Greatsword was deflected, the Night-Shining Blade followed closely behind, but it also stopped in front of the deity and was deflected as well.

Upon seeing this, Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.

"This ability has no gaps; it's not an instantaneous burst, but rather a type of continuous release..."

"In that case, we'll have to fight a war of attrition... But it's hard to be sure of this god's endurance. What if he has unlimited mana? Then we're done for."

He still knew too little about the divine beings and was unclear about how the abilities of such special individuals were consumed.

Things related to divinity might actually be the kind that defies the law of conservation of energy and can be used infinitely without any cost.

"Let's try to force our way through the defenses first."

Xue Jing made a decision.

Even if this god-like person has the strongest defensive abilities, there must be a limit to how powerful they can be.

He unleashed his full martial arts prowess, combined with his twin abilities and other divine skills, all concentrated into a single strike, which might be able to break this power.

However, Xue Jing didn't have high hopes. Judging from the strength of the struggle after the non-existent beast swallowed him, this god's ability was clearly superior to his.

If this attack fails to break through his defenses, he will have no choice but to switch to a delaying tactic and wait for the government or a powerful figure passing by to come and help.

Just as Xue Jing was about to take action, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw the Dragon Core fighter approaching from afar.

Approaching a battlefield of this magnitude recklessly could result in a plane crash and death at any moment; Ning Yuantai shouldn't be that stupid.

I guess he needs to talk to me about something urgent.

Xue Jing pointed, causing the Night-Shining Blade and the Forgotten Greatsword to constantly move around the divine being, engaging it in combat to distract it. Then, his main body quickly left the battlefield and flew towards the Dragon Core Fighter.

Before long, sensing his approach, the Dragon Core fighter jet stopped.

Xue Jing quickly arrived in front of the Dragon Core fighter jet. Seeing the open hatch, he immediately flew over and entered the cabin.

"Brother Xue!"

As soon as he entered, he heard Ning Yuantai greet him. Xue Jing nodded to him and said:

"Yuan Tai, what's the matter?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the divine being in the distance who was having a great time playing with a sword and a knife.
