Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

Before the gates of Butian Pavilion, the stench of blood had not yet dissipated, and a suffocatingly grim atmosphere permeated the scorched earth.

The Rain Clan's elite forces were completely wiped out, leaving not even a trace. This scene was deeply etched in the minds of all the onlookers.

Those cultivators from smaller forces who had originally intended to get a share of the spoils were now ashen-faced, many lying on the ground, too exhausted to even run away.

High in the sky, the emerald green vines formed from the gourd spirit still took root in the void, and the green gourd hung quietly, with a faint chaotic aura still lingering around its mouth.

The primordial essence of the two ferocious beast overlords, the Sky-Devouring Sparrow and the Qiongqi, has been absorbed, and their remaining power leaves the ferocious beasts and humanoid creatures who cannot escape in despair.

The Rain King stood atop his chariot, gazing upon the land where his people had perished. His eyes were bloodshot, and his chest was filled with endless grief, indignation, and humiliation.

However, he dared not direct his anger at the gourd spirit that had just displayed terrifying divine power. His gaze swept over the controlled venerables in the air, his mind racing, and suddenly he raised his voice, his tone filled with deep-seated hatred:

"Is the Heaven-Mending Pavilion going to exterminate all forces today? Does it truly intend to make an enemy of the entire Desolate Region?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the smaller factions were terrified and turned their pleading eyes to the people from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"snort!"

The one who answered him was not the pavilion master or an elder, but a young voice.

Little Shi Hao stepped forward, his pupal shell shimmering with a warm, lustrous sheen.

His small figure stood tall, his eyes cold as ice, sweeping over the intruders: "Since you dare to attack my Heaven-Mending Pavilion, attempting to seize the divine essence of the Sacrificial Spirit, you should be prepared to leave your lives here!"

"A murderer will always be killed! Don't you understand this principle?"

Before he could finish speaking, the current sect leader solemnly ordered: "Those who offend my Pure Land shall be executed! Elders, heed my command: purge all the villains, leave no one alive!"

"Yes, sir!"

The dozen or so elders, led by Mu Yan, Elder Liu, Xiong Fei, and Shu Yun, responded in unison, and their divine battle armor shone brightly once more.

The next moment, the elders transformed into streaks of light and charged into the ranks of the smaller, already terrified forces.

"Wan Lei Yin!"

"Golden Storm!"

……

With the blessing of the divine armor, the power of the magic technique surged, thunder was like a prison, and storms were like knives... Those cultivators who were at most at the Inscription or Array Realm had their protective divine light shattered in the face of such attacks, and their physical bodies turned to ashes in the violent energy.

Screams and wails rose and fell, only to be quickly drowned out by the roar.

This was a one-sided massacre.

The Patching Heaven Pavilion will establish its authority with bloodshed, to tell the entire desolate region that the ancient pure land cannot be insulted!

Today's consequences are all the result of yesterday's greed.

At the same time, the gourd spirit in the sky also took action, its emerald green vines weaving through the void like chains of divine order.

The first one to be identified was a powerful and imposing elder from the Tuoba family.

He roared and brandished his battle halberd, his murderous aura soaring to the sky, but he only lasted three breaths before being pierced by the divine vine, his physical body disintegrating and his soul being destroyed.

The second and third were also venerable figures of the Tuoba clan.

They fought desperately, even unleashing their clan's secret treasures, but against overwhelming power, all their struggles were in vain.

The green gourd shook gently, and the harmonious sound of the Great Dao shattered its soul. The vines then strangled it, turning it into two clouds of blood mist.

The venerable ones from other major powers were all horrified and wanted to escape, but they were devastated to find that the surrounding void had been sealed off, making their movements sluggish.

They looked in terror toward the direction of their own territory, hoping their ancestor would intervene.

When the vines of the gourd offering once again coiled around a venerable being whose true form was a Suanni—

"roar!!"

From the direction of Xiling Beast Mountain, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

At the same time, a furious roar exploded like thunder: "Old Vine, you've gone too far! Killing a few Venerables without divine backing to vent your anger is one thing, but attacking my clan's juniors—are you trying to start a divine war?"

This aura was filled with savagery and violence; it was clearly the power of a true god!

The divine ancestor from Xiling Beast Mountain finally couldn't hold back any longer and intervened.

The gourd offering paused slightly.

This pause seemed to be a signal.

Immediately afterwards, a sacred and vast aura rose from the direction of the Primordial Divine Mountain; divine light also soared into the sky from the location of the Southern Meteor Divine Mountain; further away, several obscure yet equally unsettling auras appeared and disappeared...

Four or five divine auras locked onto the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Although they did not descend in their true forms, their oppressive power made the atmosphere on the battlefield extremely tense.

All the surviving cultivators felt their souls tremble. This was the foundation of the top forces in the desolate region, all of which had living gods guarding them!

"snort!"

The ancient voice of the gourd spirit rang out, calm yet mocking: "Where were you when those few were roaring to destroy the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and divide my divine essence?"

Now you know how to care for your juniors? Too late!

"If you dare, then descend in your true forms and fight me. Let's see if I can take one or two of you down with me before I perish!"

Silence reigned above the heavens.

The aura of those deities fluctuated, carrying hesitation and apprehension.

The gourd used for spirit offerings has survived from ancient times to the present day, enduring countless calamities. Although it appears decayed, no one knows how many hidden treasures it still holds.

Previously, only juniors at the Venerable level were sent to participate in the siege, with the intention of letting the juniors seize the opportunity while avoiding risks themselves, for fear that the old vine would launch a counterattack before it died.

At this moment, the old vine was ready to fight to the death, so they hesitated to act rashly.

Seeing the gods remain silent, the gourd spirit stopped talking and the green vines began to move again.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Sizzle!"

The vines lashed out like the lash of death.

One by one, the Venerables of the four ancient clans were severed at the waist; a humanoid Venerable from the Southern Meteor Mountain was swept away by the chaotic energy, and his physical body dissolved; a white tiger from the Western Mausoleum Beast Mountain, exuding a murderous aura, let out an unwilling roar, but was pierced through the brow by a green vine, and its body crashed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, several great masters of the religion perished.

But when the vines coiled around a fat relic—

"stop!"

From the direction of Xiling Beast Mountain, the divine aura erupted once more, its anger intensified, but its voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Old Vine! This boy is the closest descendant of our clan to pureblood. Killing him means starting a full-scale war with our Xiling Beast Mountain, with no room for maneuver! Has your Heaven-Mending Pavilion thought this through?"

This was a threat, not only directed at Lao Teng, but also meant for everyone in the Butian Pavilion. He didn't believe that these leaders of the Butian Pavilion would be willing to completely oppose Xiling Beast Mountain.

"Release him!" he added. "You have killed enough Venerables today. My Xiling Beast Mountain is willing to pay a sufficient price to quell this matter."

At the entrance of Butian Pavilion, the pavilion master and the elders had stern faces, but none of them uttered a sound.

The little boy smirked coldly: "Price? If my Heaven-Mending Pavilion loses today, do you think you'll let us go? It's too late to talk about price now!"

High in the air, the gourd offering to the spirits was even more direct, with the vines showing no sign of stopping.

"Pfft!"

The terrified two heads of the Fei Yi were strangled and burst by the vines, and its huge snake body writhed violently in the air before losing all its life.

"Hasn't war already begun!" Old Vine's voice resounded through the heavens. "I'll say it again: anyone who dares to invade my Heaven-Mending Pavilion should be prepared to perish!"

"You—you're asking for it! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

The gods of Xiling Beast Mountain were utterly enraged.

From the direction of Xiling Beast Mountain, a divine light containing an aura of destruction suddenly tore through the sky and rushed straight towards the gate of Butian Pavilion at an incredible speed.

"Old Vine killed my junior, so I'll let you taste that same bitterness!" A fierce divine thought wave emanated from him.

This divine light was terrifyingly powerful, clearly intended to instantly annihilate the core strength of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"How dare you!" The elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were horrified, their armor gleaming brightly as they desperately tried to form a defensive array.

Little Dot also shielded Huo Ling'er behind him, the pupa shell glowing.

however……

At the critical moment, emerald green vines stretched across the sky and earth, suddenly appearing before the divine light.

The vine's main stem was as thick as a dragon, its entire body brimming with life essence, forcefully blocking the divine light.

Boom!

The divine light collided with the vines, unleashing terrifying fluctuations. Large sections of space collapsed, and the aftershocks swept across the earth. Even with the protective arrays of the Patching Heaven Pavilion throughout the ages, the ground still cracked open with bottomless ravines.

"Let's fight!"

The gourd spirit's voice was icy, and with a flick of its vines, it actually carried a colossal, boundless phantom of an ancient beast into the depths of the heavens above.

That is the battlefield where gods clash!

The next moment, a deafening roar came from the depths of the higher heavens, divine radiance surged, laws collided, and even the occasional leak of a wisp of energy made all living beings below suffocate.

The battle lasted for a moment, when suddenly the maniacal laughter of the gods of Xiling Beast Mountain resounded throughout the universe:

"Hahaha! Old Vine, I thought you really had the ability to rekindle the divine fire, but it turns out you just rely on pills to keep your life essence alive."

Outwardly strong but inwardly weak, let's see how long you can hold out!

During a lull in the fighting, he roared to all directions: "What are you all waiting for? This beast is already at its last gasp, it's just holding on by relying on the power of elixirs."

Why not join forces to solve it and then divide its divine essence? A great calamity is imminent; don't you want to take it a step further?!

This statement is highly inflammatory.

If Old Vine is truly only surviving on pills, then the risk of killing him by joining forces will be greatly reduced, while the benefits will be—

The divine essence of an ancient sacrificial spirit is enough to move the heart of any deity.

After a brief silence...

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

From the direction of Nanyun Divine Mountain, a three-colored divine radiance pierced the sky; a yellowish-brown divine light also shot into the sky from Yishan Mountain.

Clearly, two of the divine ancestors were persuaded and chose to join forces to attack the old vine.

Immediately afterwards, ancient sacrificial sounds also came from the direction of the ancestral home of the Tuoba family.

A rusty spear, exuding an overwhelming aura of slaughter, transformed into a streak of light, tearing through space to join the battle in the heavens.

That was the last remaining treasure of the Tuoba family, an ancient spear left behind by a true deity.

In an instant, the gourd spirit sacrifice went from one-on-one to one-on-four!

Below, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and the members of the Butian Pavilion were extremely nervous.

The battle above the heavens was even more brutal, with divine light almost engulfing the sky, and terrifying collisions causing the entire desolate region to tremble.

The figure of the gourd spirit flickered within, sometimes its vines stained with blood and its leaves flying, as if it were about to be smashed at any moment; at other times, the green gourd spewed out chaotic energy, forcing back powerful enemies.

The battle seemed perilous, with the old vine teetering on the brink of collapse. Yet, whenever a new enemy joined the fray, it always managed to hold them off and quickly adjust, maintaining a strange balance with them.

As the battle raged on, the besieging deities gradually realized something was amiss.

This old vine... its resilience is incredible!

"No! There's something wrong with this old vine; it's not entirely reliant on elixirs!" Xiling Deity exclaimed in surprise.

But it was too late!

Just as they were beginning to sense danger and considering whether to retreat temporarily and reconsider their options...

In the center of the battle, the aura of the gourd spirit suddenly changed!

The previously fluctuating aura solidified, and tiny shell-like objects appeared on his body.

Another snail shell!

Shi Hao obtained the equipment from Lin Yuan by exchanging the complete Heaven-Mending Technique after consulting with Gui Ye and Lao Teng.

Given the value of the Heaven-Mending Technique, it would be more than enough to equip each elder with a pupa-shell armor. However, to avoid attracting too much attention, they were only equipped with Domain Lord-level battle armor.

However, the powerful sacrificial spirit is different. The gourd sacrificial spirit is wearing a pupa shell, and all the physical attacks from the opponent just now had no effect on it.

His voice, aged yet laced with sarcasm, said, "After pretending for so long, haven't any other cowards dared to come?"

The four powerful figures who were besieging the enemy were deeply shaken.

"Since no one dares to come again..." the gourd spirit's voice suddenly turned fierce, "then this farce should come to an end!"
