Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

The tyrant shattered the void with a single punch.

The extreme gravity field compressed that space into a dark golden singularity.

"Ouch! Easy peasy! My back's broken!"

A dry, extremely irritating voice came from the shattered space.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

A gaunt young man wearing a loose black robe and sporting dark circles under his eyes was forced out by gravity.

He tumbled and crashed to the ground, brushing the dust off his body while grimacing and rubbing his back.

At the same time, a strange, semi-transparent creature resembling a bioluminescent jellyfish emerged from the shadows behind him.

The creature let out an extremely faint, piercing scream, then quickly transformed into a streak of light and drifted back into the divine passage behind the youth as if fleeing for its life.

"Void Dream Spirit?" Su Yueying hovered in mid-air, raised an eyebrow, and recognized the semi-transparent creature.

This is an extremely rare symbiotic organism.

It has no offensive capabilities, but it can completely assimilate its host and their kin into the void rift.

As long as one does not actively reveal their murderous intent, even a true god-level mental scan can be blocked.

"Bai Ye?" Murong Bai stood on the head of the Behemoth.

Looking at the black-robed youth on the ground, his eyes turned completely cold.

"Good heavens, it's that sixth brother of the Bai family in Tianhai Province." Zhan Kuang stepped forward in his blood-red mecha.

The robotic arm rose, and the six-barreled cannon locked onto the young man's head.

The geniuses present recognized the newcomer at a glance.

White nights.

The heir of the Bai family, a top family in Tianhai Province, has awakened the S+ level talent divine domain [Kingdom of the Dead].

This guy is notorious for his shamelessness in the provincial capital's social circles.

Relying on the Undead's rapid unit production and the Void Spirit's stealth ability, his favorite thing to do is to follow behind others and pick up the scraps.

He waits until the other side is exhausted before jumping out to reap the rewards of victory.

When Xiao Ting and Chu Yunxuan saw Bai Ye, their faces turned ashen.

After all that, the two of them found themselves locked in a tense standoff in front of this black canyon.

They argued fiercely over who should step on the landmine first, looking like two idiots being put on display for others to see!

Su Yueying, Murong Bai, and Zhan Kuang simply watched the show from the shadows.

This White Night was even more ruthless, actually hiding millions of undead troops in the crevices of the void.

They were lurking right under their noses!

"Chu Yunxuan, is your blindness incurable?" Xiao Ting laughed angrily, and the power of wind and thunder surged around his body.

"Everyone else has it plastered on their faces, is your mechanical radar just for show?!"

Chu Yunxuan gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Regular mechanical radar detects heat sources and energy fluctuations, so it naturally cannot detect conceptual concealment like the Void Dream Spirit.

So, it turns out they were the only two people making a fool of themselves in front of everyone!

Lin Yuan stood on the tyrant's shoulder, staring at Bai Ye with hostility.

If it weren't for the fact that the violent demons under his command had already comprehended the Law of Hidden Shadows and fed back their understanding of this law to Lin Yuan...

Raise the lower limit of his perception of spatial shadow fluctuations.

We might not be able to find this sixth brother today.

"Misunderstanding! Everyone, it's all a misunderstanding!" Bai Ye looked at the crowd with eyes that seemed to want to devour him.

He quickly got up from the ground and forced a sly smile.

He rubbed his hands together, speaking rapidly as he tried to deny it: "I just arrived! I really just arrived! I was just about to come out and greet all of you geniuses."

"Before I could even utter a sound, this brother's behemoth was summoned out."

Bai Ye gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up, trying to get closer to him: "Brother, your giant beast has a strong grip, my Void Dream Spirit almost got jaundice from being squeezed."

Lin Yuan remained expressionless.

The tyrant roared, and a dark gold liquid surged through his right arm.

The extreme gravity field was activated once again, and the surrounding rubble floated up into the air uncontrollably.

When Su Yueying proposed the collaboration, Murong Bai and Zhan Kuang readily showed up.

But Bai Ye intends to stay hidden forever.

Everyone has to go into the core area and fight to the death.

Your intentions are self-evident: you leave an army of millions of undead hiding behind.

"Get him." Zhan Kuang's words were concise and to the point, his voice echoing across the wasteland.

150,000 heavy mechs simultaneously raised their machine guns, engines roared, and high-temperature steam erupted.

Murong Bai's hundreds of thousands of Behemoths roared furiously and grabbed totem poles to use as weapons.

Su Yueying's six-winged angel legion simultaneously raised their cross-shaped swords, and incandescent holy flames blazed forth.

Purifying the dead is a task that angels love to do.

Even Xiao Ting and Chu Yunxuan turned their guns on each other without hesitation.

The lion-dragon horde surged with wind and thunder, the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex's main cannon charged, and a ghostly blue particle light locked onto the white night.

Six forces, from six directions, and millions of troops surrounded Bai Ye.

There's a strong tendency for them to blast him and his divine realm to smithereens at the slightest provocation.

When Bai Ye saw this earth-shattering scene, his legs went weak on the spot.

"No, no, no! Everyone! Let's talk this over! I admit defeat! I surrender!" Bai Ye offered his hands with practiced ease.

He immediately squatted down on the ground with his hands on his head, his movements fluid and natural, without any of the airs of a proud young master from a noble family.

The speed at which he backed down surprised the geniuses who were about to make a move.

"I apologize for my offense!" Bai Ye squatted down and shouted, "Isn't this canyon unexplored? I'll go!"

"My undead army is perfect for this! Three million undead soldiers, all of them will serve as vanguard cannon fodder!"

We'll clear the landmines ahead! No hesitation!

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped moving.

In the realm of the undead, individual combat strength may be at the bottom among those of the same level, but what is most abnormal is the ability to mass produce troops and absolute obedience.

In this core area of ​​the Demon God, high-level demons are everywhere, and there may even be diamond-level ones.

Whoever goes in first is doomed.

Now there are three million cannon fodder willing to pave the way for the future, this is a worthwhile deal.

Su Yueying lowered the cross-shaped longsword, and the holy flames extinguished.

"Bai Ye, you said it yourself. Three million undead are sent to scout ahead. Before they all die, your main force is not allowed to retreat a single step," Su Yueying said coldly.

"No problem! Absolutely no problem! I'll confess on the spot if they all die!" Bai Ye patted his sunken chest and assured him.

He stood up as if granted a pardon and waved his hand.

Skeleton warriors wielding bone knives, death knights riding skeletal warhorses, and stitched banshees floating in mid-air.

A densely packed army of three million filled the open space in front of the canyon in the blink of an eye.

The chilling aura of the Law of Death spread out, briefly suppressing the surging demonic energy around them.

Although Bai Ye is despicable, his background is undeniably impressive.

When everyone saw the three million cannon fodder in place, their expressions finally softened.

Once someone paves the way, further cooperation will be much easier to discuss.

"Now that we have cannon fodder, let's talk about other things," Murong Bai said, standing atop Behemoth's head with his arms crossed.

Lin Yuan listened to their discussion and thought the arrangement was quite good.

With someone taking the hits and paving the way ahead, you can just follow behind and watch.

Just as the group had initially established a framework for cooperation.

Energy fluctuations were heard coming from the distant horizon.

A terrifying sword aura tore through the lead-gray demonic mist.

A young man in white robes arrived on a sword, followed by 100,000 sword cultivators riding flying swords.

The sword energy crisscrossed, shredding any demons that blocked its path into a rain of blood.

Li Changfeng, a proud figure in the cultivation civilization of Tianhai Province.

Immediately afterwards, starlight began to fall.

A girl shrouded in starlight descended.

Hundreds of thousands of Star Spirit creatures, composed of stellar energy, floated in mid-air.

Finally, the earth trembled, and a high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the sky.

A platinum dragon, over thirty meters long, swooped down from the clouds.

On the back of the dragon stood a fat man dressed in a flashy golden armor.

Behind him stood a dragon army of 50,000 pure-blooded dragons and wyverns.

Qian Duoduo, the eldest son of the Qian family, one of the top financial tycoons in Jiangcheng.

At this point, all of Tianhai Province's top talents had gathered in front of the Black Canyon.

The three newcomers, seeing the scene before them, understood the current situation.

In this core area of ​​the demon god, fighting alone is tantamount to suicide.

Without any unnecessary words, the three quickly agreed to Su Yueying's proposal and joined the alliance.

……

Demon-Suppressing Fortress.

The large screen was divided into ten smaller screens, which were then merged into a panoramic view.

The four family heads and military commanders, who had been mocking each other and secretly competing, all sat up straight.

This scene is absolutely breathtaking.

In Tianhai Province's annual talent selection exam, most geniuses fight individually, battling tooth and nail for points and resources.

Today, the ten strongest prodigies, under pressure from the Demon God Realm, have put aside their past grievances and joined forces to advance, a sight that is rare even in a century.

"This lineup..." A patriarch of a second-rate family swallowed hard. "They've pooled all the elite resources of Tianhai Province together."

After a brief silence, a heated discussion broke out in the hall.

The family heads, who were initially depressed because their younger members had been eliminated, regained their spirits.

The competition has begun.

"Changfeng's sword intent has improved again." The elder of the Li family, a family of cultivators, stroked his long beard, his face full of pride. "With 100,000 sword cultivators in formation, their killing power is second to none."

"The monsters in this core area cannot stop the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword of my Li family."

"Old Li, you're just spouting nonsense." A fat man sitting opposite him sneered.

He wore rings on all ten of his fingers; he was the chairman of the Jiangcheng Qian Group.

Mr. Qian pointed at the fifty-meter-long platinum dragon on the screen: "Your 100,000 sword cultivators, how many breaths of my 50,000 pure-blooded dragons could you possibly use?"

"Playing cultivation games is too stingy; war is all about money!"

"The dragon army I've nurtured with 30 billion resources is our trump card for head-on confrontation!"

"Nouveau riche attitude, vulgar." The head of the Li family turned his head away disdainfully.

"Who are you calling vulgar!" Director Qian slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Alright, you two." The head of the Star Spirit Clan, holding a teacup, slowly interjected, "Sword cultivators who are too sharp are easily broken, and dragons that are too large are easy targets."

"When it comes to sustained combat and overall control, you have to look to my Protoss array."

"As long as the starlight shines, monsters will not be born."

The bigwigs exchanged sarcastic remarks, each trying to elevate the value of their own prodigy.

Among this group of people, the head of the Bai family sat in a corner, his face turning red and white in turns.

On the screen, Bai Ye's humble, bowing, and pleading appearance was broadcast clearly.

A god with S+ talent, a genius of the Bai family, was so frightened by a few people that he immediately covered his head and crouched down in defense.

Shame!

What a shame!

The head of the Bai family wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

But hearing the whispers around him, he forced himself to cough twice, trying to save face.

"What do you know! This is called considering the bigger picture!" the Bai family head shouted, trying to drown out the others.

"The situation in this core area is unclear, so someone has to scout ahead!"

"We, the sons of the Bai family, are deeply righteous and have taken the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the vanguard."

"The undead army is just there to fill the void! Once you've figured out the truth, you'll have to thank my Bai Ye!"

Upon hearing this, several generals' lips twitched violently, but they managed to suppress their laughter.

To describe the fear of death in such a refined and elegant way, the Bai family's shamelessness must be an ancestral trait.

In the main seat.

Xiao Tiannan listened to the argument with a cold expression.

He looked at Xiao Ting standing on the back of the Lion Dragon King on the screen, and felt a little more at ease.

Despite losing 300,000 troops, Xiao Ting's aura remained formidable, firmly occupying the core position of the allied forces.

"Everyone," Xiao Tiannan began slowly, his voice cutting through the noise of the room.

The imposing presence of the head of the most prestigious family in Tianhai silenced the hall.

"Whether you're a sword cultivator or a dragon, you each have your own strengths." Xiao Tiannan raised his wine glass, looked around the room, and finally deliberately lingered on Xiao Lie.

"But when it comes to coordinating the overall battle and breaking through enemy lines, the Wind, Thunder, Lion and Dragon of my Xiao family are the main force."

"Ting'er is a proud and aloof child, but he has a solid foundation."

"On this trip to the core area, he will surely outshine all others and take the lead."

Xiao Tiannan's words were both a compliment to Xiao Ting and a warning to everyone present.

The subtext is clear: no matter how you band together, the Xiao family will still be the dominant force in Tianhai Province.

He was also subtly demonstrating to Xiao Lie: that commoner Lin Yuan whom you supported, even if he has some cleverness.

They could only stand aside in the face of these truly distinguished families!

Xiao Lie sat on the sofa, ignoring Xiao Tiannan's provocation.

He didn't even glance at Xiao Ting on the screen.

Xiao Lie's attention remained fixed on the boy standing on the shoulder of the dark golden beast at the edge of the screen.

Lin Yuan did not participate in the core command of the formation.

He spread out the demon legions and the Zerg army on both sides, maintaining a delicate distance.

It can attack or retreat at any time.

"This kid is much smarter than these pampered young masters," Xiao Lie thought to himself.

Just as the big shots were putting each other down and secretly competing.

An unexpected change occurred.

On the central control console of the fortress, an alarm suddenly sounded.

"Warning! The law readings in the core area of ​​the Demon God's plane are escalating rapidly!"

"The spatial barrier is exhibiting irregular oscillations!"

"High-frequency soul fluctuations detected! The subconscious defense mechanism of a suspected demon god has been extensively triggered!"

The communications soldier, drenched in sweat, loudly reported the latest data.

The image on the big screen began to distort.

The signal was interfered with by a strong magnetic field, causing the snowflakes to jump around continuously.

Through the intermittent images, everyone could see it.

The sky above the core area of ​​the Demon God Planet has completely turned into a viscous sea of ​​blood.

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became heavy.

The patriarchs, who had just been boasting about their own prodigies, lost their smiles and frowned.

They had already reached a consensus that even if a defeated lower-level demon god made a move, it wouldn't throw them into disarray.

However, with these unusual phenomena occurring frequently, and considering the future successor of the family, the elders cannot help but feel concerned.

"What's going on? The rebound in the core area is stronger than expected." The elder of the Li family put down his teacup, his expression serious.

"Changfeng and the others went too deep; they must have crossed the line of the Demon God's dormancy."

Mr. Qian tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice, "Judging from these energy readings, the Demon God hasn't truly awakened, but this subconscious tide of laws is enough to give these little guys a run for their money."

"General Chen, Commander Xiao."

Several heads of powerful families looked at the military camp. Although they did not lose their composure, their tone still carried a sense of pressure.

"Although the children have formed an alliance, the risks remain uncontrollable when facing the defense mechanisms of the demon god's essence."

"Shouldn't the military's contingency plan be put on the agenda?"

"Yes, training is training, but these dozen or so people are the future pillars of Tianhai Province, and we cannot afford any mistakes."

Anxiety spread through the viewing room; no one dared to gamble their family's future recklessly.

Faced with the gazes of the powerful families, Lieutenant General Chen Tie frowned slightly and turned to look at Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie sat on the sofa, his posture upright, his expression still calm and composed.

He slowly stood up.

An aura far surpassing that of ordinary true gods emanated from his body.

A dark red killing power circulated slightly in the hall, easily suppressing the slightly restless atmosphere among the crowd.

"Everyone, don't be nervous."

Xiao Lie's voice was steady, carrying a reassuring and powerful quality.

"As I just said, even if a half-dead lower-level demon god subconsciously turns over, it can't escape the Five Finger Mountain of Tianhai Province."

"It hasn't truly awakened yet; the current situation is still within the margin for error during this major test."

Xiao Lie surveyed the entire room, his tone calm yet carrying an unparalleled air of dominance.

"Now that they've broken into the core area, they should be let to experience the pressure themselves."

"If you can't even withstand the instinctive defenses of a sleeping demon god, then there's no point in going to the front lines anymore."

Although these words were harsh, they had been foreshadowed beforehand.

The family heads present did not offer excessive rebuttals, but simply sighed silently and stared intently at the large screen.

However, Xiao Lie was not entirely cold-hearted.

Despite the need for refinement, as the commander-in-chief of the military, he would never joke about the flame of humanity.

A genius can die from hardship, or from being outmatched in skill.

But one must never die in an accident caused by force majeure.

He turned around, looked at Chen Tie, and issued military orders in an orderly manner.

"Chen Tie".

"Here!" Chen Tie stood at attention.

"Pass on my orders." Xiao Lie's eyes sharpened. "Mobilize the first and second assault teams of the Starfire Legion."

"All personnel are fully equipped with divine gear. Proceed to the space jump point immediately and await orders."

"The fortress's main cannon has locked onto the core coordinates of the Demon God Planet and is in a preheating and charging state."

"Once the law reading surpasses the final critical value, it will confirm substantial signs of the Demon God's awakening—"

Xiao Lie paused for a moment, his killing intent overflowing, his gaze sweeping over all the True Gods present.

"Fire the main gun and tear apart the dimensional barrier."

"When the time comes, we'll all rush in together and snatch them away."

Upon hearing this arrangement, the heads of the powerful families in the hall all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Tiannan looked at Xiao Lie's tall and straight back, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing.

He had to admit that this was a skillful tactic that combined overall planning with both kindness and severity.

I've lost to this illegitimate child by more than one point.

The atmosphere in the hall returned to normal.

All eyes remained focused on the screen with its unstable signal.
