Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Demon-Suppressing Fortress.

One second ago, the bigwigs were still gasping in shock at the collapse of the four diamond-tiered stone statues.

The next second, all their eyes were focused on the black-haired boy standing on the monster's shoulder on the screen.

Those present were all influential figures in Tianhai Province, with sharp insight.

The fact that the four-party coalition was able to break the deadlock appears on the surface to be due to the concerted efforts of the elites from all sides.

However, the key to breaking the deadlock was entirely due to Lin Yuan's initial shattering of the earth-elemental stone statue.

Without this prerequisite, the other prodigies would eventually be worn down by the stone statue with its infinite regenerative abilities.

"Commander Xiao, the Spark Legion has really struck gold this time." A chairman of a second-rate conglomerate approached Xiao Lie with a big smile, holding a wine glass.

"Lin Yuan's control over the battle situation and his keen sense of the weaknesses of the laws make him a natural-born commander."

"His mutated army has an absurdly high level of execution. Commander Xiao has done a good job in training them, and the Tianhai Province military has a worthy successor."

"Yes," a patriarch from a prominent family nodded in agreement. "In that desperate situation, an ordinary prodigy would have lost their composure long ago."

"Lin Yuan, however, remained calm and collected, delivering a fatal blow."

"With this mindset, the military will surely shine in the Abyss Defense Line."

The bigwigs started praising Xiao Lie, one after another.

While marveling at Lin Yuan's terrifying dominance, they also sought opportunities to curry favor with the military.

Xiao Lie leaned back on the sofa, toying with a wine glass in his hand.

He didn't say much, but a smile remained on his face.

Amidst these flattering words, Xiao Tiannan, sitting in the main seat, had an expression so gloomy it could frost off.

He came here originally to see Xiao Lie make a fool of himself.

Watch as the common people, to whom Xiao Lie poured resources, are trampled underfoot by the powerful families of Tianhai Province.

The results of it?

On the big screen, Xiao Ting's performance was nothing short of disastrous.

Faced with the high-pressure environment of the wind-elemental stone statue, the lion-dragon army went berserk, broke free from Xiao Ting's mental control, and turned around to tear apart their allies!

This is a grave taboo for the gods!

What kind of so-called prodigy can't even perfectly control his own family?

Xiao Tiannan felt the occasional glances sweeping over him from all around, glances that were mixed with mockery and ridicule.

"Patriarch Xiao," the Li family elder sneered, "the Xiao family has been rising in prominence in recent years, with a profound foundation."

"However, this method of nurturing the younger generation seems to have put the cart before the horse."

"He couldn't even control his own destined companions, and it even caused a backlash."

"Whether this mindset and this level of control will allow him to condense a divine spark and step into the realm of true godhood is probably still an unknown."

The elders of the Li family spoke without any mercy.

Because of Xiao Ting's mistake, his younger brother Li Changfeng lost half of his family's wealth, so he no longer needed to give Xiao Tiannan any face.

Xiao Tiannan's veins bulged on the back of his hand, but he still managed to suppress his anger.

We are in the wrong.

More than half of the 100,000 sword cultivators were killed or injured; anyone would be furious in that situation.

"Elder Li, please calm down. In this matter... Ting'er is indeed responsible for oversight." Xiao Tiannan gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse.

He felt utterly humiliated.

The direct descendant of the prestigious Tianhai No. 1 family behaved worse than an ordinary person.

If Xiao Ting cannot solve this problem in the future, his divine path will surely be destroyed.

Just as everyone in the viewing room was lost in their own thoughts, the image on the big screen suddenly changed.

The inverted pyramid disintegrated, and a Source Beast at the peak of the Diamond Rank descended.

The bigwigs who were just about to celebrate with champagne fell completely silent.

"It's over." A board member of a conglomerate sighed, "A Diamond-level Law Source Beast, this is a situation that high school students can't possibly handle."

"This difficulty level is outrageous! Chen Tie, did your military misadjust the readings?!"

Just when everyone thought that these geniuses could only crush the talisman and escape,

On the screen, Bai Ye, who had been scavenging for scraps, tore off his disguise and summoned three undead creatures at the early Diamond rank.

The entire viewing room fell silent.

Holy crap!

I don't know who couldn't help but swear.

The Bai family elder, who had been feeling frustrated all day, suddenly jumped up from his chair, his face flushed and his beard trembling.

"Hahaha! Good! Good lad!" The Bai family elder pointed at the screen, his voice so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire hall.

"See that?! This is truly the prodigy of the Bai family! He's unassuming most of the time, but he turns the tide in a critical moment!"

"What is true depth? This is true depth!"

The heads of several prominent families nearby were so angry they were itching to bite them.

"Old Bai, stop being so shameless!" The head of the Feng family pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Your son has been hiding in the back, using our families as cannon fodder, and even picking up the corpses while he's at it! Doesn't he have any sense of decorum befitting a noble family?!"

"Exactly! Absolutely shameless!"

Faced with the condemnation of the crowd, the Bai family elder snorted coldly, his skin as thick as a city wall: "Don't you understand that all's fair in war? My grandson is just holding back his tactics!"

"If he hadn't survived until now, your little brats would have been trampled into mincemeat by the source beasts by now!"

"If you're so capable, why don't you pull out three Diamond-level Familiars yourself!"

Everyone was speechless.

……

The planet of demons, at the bottom of the core pit.

A chilling wind howled, and the decaying aura of the Law of Death collided with the dark matter domain of the Origin Beast.

Bai Ye turned around and looked at the dumbfounded geniuses, chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and shamelessly made up an excuse:

"Well... this kind of high-level summoning spell has a long wind-up and takes a lot of time to cast. Please be understanding."

Li Changfeng was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sing my ass! This bastard clearly wants to watch them run out of cards!

"roar--!"

The source beasts in mid-air didn't give them much time to react.

The core of the Source Beast's chest emitted a red light, and the surrounding space collapsed.

The Law of Annihilation enveloped the three undead below.

"superior!"

Bai Ye's smile vanished, and his eyes widened.

The Diamond Tier 1 [Undead Lord - Skeleton Tyrant] has been activated.

The fifty-meter-tall skeleton was not bulky at all; it lifted the giant battle axe and leaped high into the air.

The moment the battle axe cleaved out, the law of death materialized on the axe blade, cleaving a vacuum channel through the annihilation domain of the source beast.

The thousands of eyes on the surface of the source beast's body rotated simultaneously, locking onto the skeletal tyrant.

laugh!

Thousands of rays converged into a beam of light, which slammed into the skeletal tyrant's chest.

The clash of diamond-level laws resulted in no flashy explosions, only the most fundamental dissolution.

The skeletal tyrant's dark golden ribs vaporized, and its body crashed into the ground, creating a crater hundreds of meters deep.

At the same time, the Nightmare Bone Dragon King flapped its wings and rushed above the source beast.

The curse runes engraved all over the dragon bones lit up at once.

It opened its bony jaws and unleashed a breath of [Calamity Dragon Breath].

This dragon's breath carries no temperature, yet it can strip away the very life essence of living beings.

The source beast let out a silent shriek.

The dark matter behind it churned and transformed into a giant black hand hundreds of meters in size, which grabbed the Bone Dragon King by the neck.

Click!

The Bone Dragon King, at the Diamond Rank 1, had half of its bones instantly covered in cracks.

"withstand!"

Bai Ye shouted loudly.

He formed hand seals, and tens of thousands of gold-level skeletons and ghouls in the undead army behind him exploded.

There was no flying blood and flesh, only the purest death energy.

These deathly energies transformed into a gray torrent, soaring into the sky and pouring into the bodies of the Skeleton Tyrant and the Bone Dragon King.

Visibly, the ribs of the Bone Tyrant, which had vaporized, began to regrow, and the Bone Dragon King's shattered neck bones rapidly healed.

【The Knight of Death and Fear】 took advantage of this gap and rode his Nightmare Warhorse through the air.

The lance, engulfed in burning black flames, transformed into a bolt of black lightning and pierced one of the source beast's main eyes.

The black flames spread along the eyeballs, beginning to burn the dark matter body of the source beast.

The source beast felt pain, and a slight disturbance appeared in its domain of laws.

"What are you all standing there for! I can't hold on much longer!" Bai Ye turned around and roared furiously at the other geniuses watching the show below.

Everyone seemed to awaken from a dream.

The source beasts' attention was completely drawn to the three diamond undead; this was their chance.

"Form ranks! Attack its left flank!" Li Changfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the remaining 30,000 sword cultivators took to the air together.

The silver sword energy coalesced into a sword dragon several thousand meters long.

Xiao Ting gritted his teeth and forcefully activated the Wind and Thunder Law, preparing to command the remaining lion-dragon group to flank from the right.

"Get out of my way!"

Li Changfeng suddenly turned his head, staring fiercely at Xiao Ting.

"Keep your dogs under control! Don't get in the way. If you let them go berserk and bite people again, I'll chop you in half with my sword!"

Xiao Ting froze, his face turning bright red.

When has he, a genius of the Xiao family, ever been publicly told to get lost like this?

He instinctively wanted to retort, but then he heard the lion-dragon pack behind him let out another restless growl.

Xiao Ting clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms, and blood dripped down.

He was unable to refute it.

"Step back." Xiao Ting squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth, leading the remaining lion-dragon to the edge of the battlefield.

He unleashed his full mental power to suppress these beasts that could go berserk at any moment.

"tyrant."

Lin Yuan's voice rang out across the chaotic battlefield.

The tyrant slowly rose from the shadows beneath his feet.

Despite the overwhelming pressure from above, this monster, only a Platinum Six-Star, maintained its high fighting spirit.

"Ultimate Path, Hidden Shadow," Lin Yuan commanded.

The tyrant blurred in an instant.

The dark matter tentacles of the Source Beast lashed at the surrounding space, attempting to seal off all blind spots.

But the tyrant's figure seemed not to exist in this dimension; it darted at high speed through the shadows left by its waving tentacles.

One second later, the Tyrant appeared below the source beast's weakest point in its defenses: its abdomen.

Remove the virtualization effect.

The dark gold liquid was compressed in the tyrant's right arm, and the extreme gravity field was contained on the fist.

boom!

The tyrant slammed his fist into the dark matter shell of the source beast.

Gravity collapse!

The space in the abdomen of the Source Beast caved inward, and the dark matter shell made two clicking sounds.

This attack, though it failed to break through the diamond-level defense, interrupted the source beast's preparation to unleash another large-scale annihilation ray.

"Well done!" Chu Yunxuan shouted. "All main guns, lock onto the gap Lin Yuan created, fire!"

All the mechanical beasts simultaneously opened their cannons, and the plasma beams converged into a destructive torrent, shooting towards the dent created by the Tyrant.

Qian Duoduo's dragon horde breathed out dragon fire, and Su Yueying's holy light giant sword descended from the sky...

Lin Yuan was not idle either.

The Titan Demon raised its heavy shield to block the residual force of the Source Beast's overflowing laws.

The Shadow Demon darted through the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to sever the defensive layers on the source beast's body.

The elemental spirits of calamity unleashed their extreme cold and poisonous fire without restraint.

Three thousand platinum-level tyrannical demons charged directly to the front line, joining forces with three diamond undead to encircle and kill the source beast.

The battle was extremely fierce.

The families of the prodigies fell in droves amidst the occasional aftershocks of the laws emanating from the source beasts.

But the one who suffered the most was still Bai Ye, who was mainly responsible for facing the enemy head-on.

His undead army is dwindling at a rate of thousands per second.

He forcibly sacrificed all the undead, turning them into death energy to heal the wounds of the three diamond undead.

"Hold on tight!"

Bai Ye's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were all bleeding.

His mental strength had been pushed to its limit, but he did not back down.

Infected by his bloodthirstiness, the geniuses who had initially intended to retreat all became bloodthirsty and not one of them backed down even a step.

boom.

Bai Ye's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the dark red metallic ground.

Just as his face was about to hit the ground, a strong hand grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

Lin Yuan held Bai Ye in one hand, staring at the Source Beast in mid-air.

"Can you still breathe?" Lin Yuan's voice remained steady.

"Cough... I won't die..." Bai Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes unfocused.

Yet he still stubbornly maintained his spiritual connection with the Lord of the Dead.

"Then keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully."

Lin Yuan raised his right hand and pointed to the sky.

With everyone unleashing their relentless firepower and the three diamond undead desperately holding them back, the situation became even more dire.

The source beast let out a mournful cry.

Its outer shell, unable to withstand the continuous energy clashes, finally shattered with a deafening roar.

A beam of red light burst forth from the crack.

The true form of the [Core Source] is now exposed to everyone's view.

The ultimate goal of the big exam is just around the corner.
