You are all my wings...

With this wave of his hand, waves of water gathered and transformed into a powerful torrent that crashed towards Lyon.

Chapter 521 Slaying Gods

With the activation of Leon's Shadowless ability, his body suddenly vanished.

The mighty flood failed to materialize.

The burly alien frowned: "The little cockroach certainly knows how to hide."

Just as he was about to continue casting magic to sweep the surrounding area, he was suddenly struck in the chest by a tremendous force and sent flying backward.

"Who attacked me?"

"A sneak attack?"

Leon's figure appeared in mid-air: "Your senses are too dull. You didn't even notice me approaching. How dare you attack me when you're only a weak tenth-rank cultivator?"

His physique is comparable to that of an eleventh-order god-like being, and he possesses immense power even without using the prototype of his authority.

He only slightly used the Divine Shadowless Technique and relied on his physical body to accelerate, and directly sent that powerful tenth-tier alien god flying.

"Me, a weak tenth-rank?"

The powerful, otherworldly being rose from afar, his gaze icy: "You mere seventh rank, you've only managed to escape by chance! You're nothing but a liar!"

He waved his hand again, and a large amount of magic gathered, greatly condensing the power of the water elemental authority.

"Then I will show you what the greatest difference is between gods and mortals."

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive amount of water vapor gathered within a kilometer radius of Lyon, forming an astonishing vortex that swept outwards, seemingly drawing away all the water vapor around him.

"A tenth-tier domain of authority?"

"Hmph, you do know your stuff."

The powerful alien god sneered:

"Kid, let me teach you a lesson. In my domain of authority, all moisture will be absorbed by me. Once the moisture in your body is drained, you will be nothing more than a dried-up corpse."

"Is that so? But I feel that your domain of authority doesn't seem to work on me."

Leon blinked.

My current physical resistance far exceeds the normal attributes of strength, physique, and agility, but as for how strong it is, it is only an estimate and I have not tested it in practice.

But now he was certain that his current physical resistance meant that even a tenth-level authority could not break through his body.

Of course, this is because the other party is just an ordinary tenth-level being. If it were a god who had mastered the top secrets at the tenth level and condensed into a superior-level authority, then it would be hard to say.

After all, the superior power is very close to the top ten power.

All he had were a fragment of a top-ten authority and several mid-to-low-grade ones, which he had obtained during his previous cultivation of knowledge.

"Hmph, so stubborn!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the powerful alien god, who was about to increase the magic power further.

suddenly--

He saw Lyon, with his feet slightly bent and a little effort, suddenly shoot forward like a high-speed cannonball within the domain of authority.

This speed is incredibly fast, much faster than when the opponent used the Shadow ability to accelerate their sneak attack!

Just as he was about to make a move, he realized that the silver-haired boy had already accelerated again in mid-air with the help of several time-related mysteries, appearing in front of him at an incredible speed, his fist growing larger and larger, and hitting his head.

BOOM!!!

It was like a watermelon bursting open, with brain matter spurting out.

The desert was stained with long, fan-shaped streaks of blood, each drop scorching hot, rising into the white mist.

Immediately, the powerful alien shook its headless body and crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

As this alien god fell, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by countless water vapors rising from the air within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, evaporating, and then disappearing.

This is the strange phenomenon in the world caused by the fall of a god and the shattering of his authority.

This scene also attracted the attention of several alien gods, but since these gods were already fighting with Cheng Erheli and Castiglione, they didn't have time to come and cause trouble for Leon.

Lyon looked up to observe the strange changes in the world, while shaking his blood-stained fist, feeling unusually calm.

'I never imagined that I could kill a tenth-level god with just a few punches and kicks, without even a ripple of emotion.'

'Although this tenth-tier alien god isn't among the absolute top experts in the tenth tier, he's still a milestone for me.'

At that moment, a dark shadow silently emerged from the broken neck of the other god, as if trying to escape.

This is the very essence of this alien god.

The one that Leon bombed earlier was actually just a god of this era, whose race was dwarves.

With a snap, a fair hand reached out and suddenly grabbed the black shadow that was about to fly away. With force, the five fingers squeezed him tightly as if kneading clay.

The black image, its lifeline seized, immediately became humble in the expression on its invisible face.

"Please, spare me! It was my poor eyesight that prevented me from recognizing you as a god-level expert. If I had known you were a god-level expert, how could I have dared to attack you?"

"God-level?"

Leon shook his head. He realized that he had only reached this level in terms of physique. He had achieved the crushing victory by relying on his physique, which far surpassed that of the alien god, and his power-generating techniques enhanced by multiple modes.

After all, the alien gods are gods from other worlds, and their divine power is very weak. They usually use the power to seize objects as their main means of warfare.

My magical skill, combat techniques, mana reserves, and mental strength are still far from reaching this level.

Not to mention they don't even have authority yet.

Of course, in battle, one strength can often be brought into play, which is sometimes enough to cover up many weaknesses.

Once one's physical strength is unleashed, it can sometimes be enough to overcome many problems.

However, it is still not comprehensive enough and cannot truly compete with gods for an extended period of time.

If you encounter a master at the eleventh level, you must temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

'However, I, the Shadow Walker, can also find an opportunity to advance to the seventh rank. Perhaps things will be different after that.'

Although Lyon wanted to advance immediately, the surrounding area was filled with beautiful scenery and opportunities, making it a good time for him to advance.

He looked around and saw the other gods advancing from all directions, unleashing all kinds of magic and power, continuously interfering with Mshiruna's ascension.

Meanwhile, Castigia and Chengerheli wandered around, using magic to neutralize the impact.

At this stage, the former was at the twelfth level peak, and the latter was just entering the eleventh level; neither of them seemed to have reached their future peak state yet.

Castiglione also had to deal with Saturn, the original Saturnian god of nature, who possessed a thirteenth-order secret treasure of the Holy Ershah's court. With these two factors combined, Saturn had the upper hand.

On the other side, given the current strength of Cheng Erheli's aura, he alone might not be able to withstand the siege of the nine alien gods.

'So, Cheng Erheli teleported me to this point in time hoping I would change this event?'

Did she have that kind of relationship with the Goddess of Origin during this period?

'Furthermore, judging from the future, shouldn't M'shiruna already be at Rank 12 by now?'

'Could it be that M'shiruna hasn't recovered to her peak strength yet, and is currently in a recovery phase?'

'Well, since I'm here, I should lend a hand.'

'Find a secluded spot to level up first, then go help. Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting!'

With that thought, he exerted force with his five fingers and crushed the strange, dark shadow in his hand.

With a crackling sound like shattering glass, he found a god core in the shadows and held the obsidian-like gem in his palm.

'Not bad. The essence of the Otherworldly God Core is also the materialization of Shadow. Fusing it with the Divine Abomination Core Deception in my possession might serve as an upgrade item for my Shadow Walker to reach level seven.'

When he upgraded his Shadow Walker to the sixth rank, he used half a Divine Abomination Core. When he upgraded to the seventh rank, he could use the fusion of a complete Divine Abomination Core and a Different God Core, plus the remaining half of the Divine Abomination Core. This combination would allow him to upgrade items to reach the top of the tenth rank, or even rival eleventh-rank items without changing their rank.

This is equivalent to using upgrade items at a level three and a half levels higher, which is half a level higher than when the elemental mage upgraded last time.

The difficulty and risks will definitely be greater.

But he was much stronger than before. First of all, his physique had reached the level of an eleventh-order divine species, which was definitely enough.

Secondly, there's the combat skill, which he developed entirely on his own and has been elevated to a tenth-level combat skill. He also completed routine training of it during his time in the Divine Kingdom in the Palm of His Hand.

Moreover, this was his last time advancing to the seventh tier, and the sufficient resources he had accumulated before gave him more confidence to challenge himself with using more difficult upgrade items.

Of course, most importantly, his current combat strength can only harass one or two level 10 opponents and a few weak level 11 opponents. He is still slightly lacking in the ability to assist Cheng Erheli.

It's best to help after you've leveled up; the success rate will obviously be higher that way.

Based on this, he began to use material deception, fusing 1.5 divine abomination cores and 1 alien god core, and then infusing conceptual essence to solidify the deception effect.

As a result, he obtained a top-tier level 10 upgrade item, which cost a total of 2 Concept Essences.

'Oh right, and there's also loot. It would be best to get some meat to replenish what I've been consuming lately. While eating dairy products was enjoyable last time, it doesn't feel as satisfying as eating meat.'

He immediately searched the corpse of the alien god for a moment and found several fragments of water-based authority. These should be the authority that the alien god had seized. After he killed the alien god, the authority naturally shattered, leaving about one-seventh or one-eighth of it.

The remaining fragments of authority have all dissipated into the world; this is the law of nature, and he cannot retain them unless he also takes control of the water system, in which case he might be able to retain more.

Then, using the corpse of this other god as an anchor point, he activated the [Truth Space-Time Anchoring Technique] to find the coordinates of the storage space that the other god had created. Through conceptual deception, he transferred the permission to open it to himself, thereby obtaining ownership of the other god's personal storage space.

Since the alien god is dead, when he used conceptual deception, he only consumed a few dozen points of mental energy to solidify the deception, without needing to spend conceptual essence, which is commendable.

Originally, only the deity's personal storage space could be opened by the deity himself, but Leon happened to have the ability to control the coordinates of spacetime and transfer control, so he was able to easily complete the operation of collecting the spoils.

He then opened the personal storage space of this alien god and saw that it was about five or six cubic meters, not large, but not small either.

Inside were hundreds of pounds of meat from tenth and ninth-grade divine creatures, as well as some common high-grade monster materials, but no divine-level treasures could be found.

'Excellent, with these, my upgrade magic circle is finally complete.'

While eating the tenth-grade jerky he had just acquired, he slipped away from the battlefield, found a huge rock in the distance, activated its shadow properties in its shade, wrapped it up, and then used conceptual deception to make the place sufficiently hidden. He then spent one unit of conceptual essence to solidify its effect.

At this point, his conceptual essence, including the consumption he made to digest the blood of the Origin God, was reduced to only a dozen portions, a significant drop in quantity.

But it was all worth it. No one was there to protect me during this advancement. If those other gods noticed my advancement and wanted to do something drastic to me, that would be disastrous.

He quickly set up the upgrade magic circle and placed the top-tier Shadow-type material, which he had just tricked and transformed, on it.

Boom!

As the magical light surged, terrifying knowledge from the upgraded item rapidly washed over him, and he quickly entered a transcendent state, leaping into the depths of the knowledge cloud.

Since almost a day had passed during the previous mode of travel, he tried to activate the previously timed-out mode, and it worked successfully.

At this point, all modes except for the Ion Mode, which is still 1 point short of being able to be activated automatically, have been successfully activated.

This time, he planned to continue his previous operations, absorbing knowledge related to illusion and concepts, which was also a knowledge system that matched the characteristics of the shadow system. He had absorbed a lot of it in his previous two professions, which would be perfect for raising his knowledge level in the concept system and thereby improving the effectiveness of his conceptual deception.

……

On the other side, lightning bolts flashed wildly under the thunderclouds, continuously bombarding M'shiruna on the hill.

Outside the thunderclouds, the three-meter-tall Saturnus, wielding the Spear of Longinus, was engaged in close combat with Castiglione.

As he moved, he was like a heavy Saturn, each attack causing massive gravitational shocks that rippled the holy light shield around Castigia, making her frown deeply.

In terms of strength, Castiglione should be stronger.

However, this area is not covered by the Sacred Tree, so she lacks the support of the Sacred Tree itself. In addition, she does not have a 13th-rank Noble Phantasm like the Spear of Longinus, and she also has to protect Mshiruna as she advances, preventing her from being ambushed during her advancement. Therefore, she can only defend passively.

Although Castiglione unleashed several high-level spells that fused life and holy magic, creating powerful shockwaves strong enough to tear apart the bodies of most nature gods, they were still swept away by the Spear of Longinus.

Meanwhile, Cheng Erheli was facing nine alien gods alone.

Of the seven alien gods, three are at the eleventh rank, six are at the tenth rank, and they come from different races. There is even one elf and one dragon at the eleventh rank.

With such a lineup, although Cheng Erhe was strong, he had only just entered the eleventh level. In order to protect Mushiluna behind him and prevent a sneak attack, he had no choice but to retreat step by step.

Boom!

Streams of intense heat condensed into lines, forming a sky full of heat rays that swept towards Cheng Erheli, colliding with the spiritual domain of authority surrounding her and instantly annihilating the large number of emerald-glowing vines and trees that had condensed within her spiritual domain.

"We must obtain the power of the electric system this time. Cheng Erheli, you can no longer control the battlefield. Do you still want to put up a stubborn resistance?"

One of them, an eleventh-rank purple-haired dragon-human god, had a cold smile on his face.

As he spoke, he roared and suddenly unleashed a surge of purple lightning, as thick as a fist. In an instant, it traversed space, pierced through Cheng Erheli's domain of authority, and shattered her shoulder armor, leaving a deep, bottomless blood hole. Her fair skin was instantly a bloody mess.

Cheng Erheli's azure eyes remained calm, yet a sense of despair welled up within him.
