This is...
Xin Zhuangling, Kaluo, and Lian Tianchuan did not return to the City Lord's mansion. Instead, they waited nearby for the various armies to prepare their expeditionary supplies. The movement of energy in the sky immediately caught their attention.
Seeing the energy surge into clouds and transform into a colossal sword shadow, Xin Zhuangling felt a pang of dread.
"One sword hangs across the sky, ten thousand swords surge from the heart; this is the forbidden technique, Zhuxian! Run, quickly run!" Lian Tianchuan, upon seeing the giant sword, was struck with terror. He immediately turned and fled into the distance.
Lian Tianchuan's words instantly drew the attention of a large group of gods. They had initially thought the giant sword in the sky was a way for the new Divine Master to boost the morale of the army, and many were even full of admiration. However, Lian Tianchuan's sudden roar filled them with fear, and they followed him into the distance.
"Damn it, did the King's Academy elect such a brainless brute as their dean?" Xin Zhuangling, observing the chaos caused by Lian Tianchuan's words throughout the region, couldn't help but curse.
"Divine Master, what should we do?" Kaluo looked at Xin Zhuangling with a worried expression. Legend had it that the Zhuxian technique could slaughter enemies within millions of miles with a single sword. Escaping under such a forbidden technique was impossible.
"Let's go to the teleportation array! As long as we teleport to another domain city, we'll be fine!" Xin Zhuangling said, transforming into an afterimage and rushing towards the nearby teleportation array, with Kaluo close behind.
"All soldiers, enter the teleportation array and leave this place! Hurry!" Upon reaching the teleportation array, Xin Zhuangling let out a thunderous roar, pointing the way for the still bewildered army. The army surged towards the array like a tide.
After teleporting away, Xin Zhuangling and Kaluo finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they thought of the countless elite god troops gathered in Tianxing City, Xin Zhuangling felt like spitting blood. Those were his future subordinates, gone just like that!
The Zhutian Yijian, throughout the ages, no one had survived this forbidden technique. Especially with this forbidden technique in the hands of that great demon, the killing intent would only be more terrifying!
"Damn it! Damn it!" The more Xin Zhuangling thought about it, the angrier he became, cursing aloud.
Kaluo, on the other hand, remained silent. Seeing gods arriving intermittently through the teleportation array, he knew his Tianxing City was finished this time. Fortunately, he had survived.
At this moment, within Tianxing City, a hurricane swirled around the giant sword. The land for millions of miles around Tianxing City churned, and dark clouds covered the sky. Occasionally, accompanied by screams, streaks of white starlight flashed by, swept up by the hurricane.
Lian Tianchuan sat slumped on the ground, clearly feeling the energy within him begin to throb with his heartbeat. With each beat, the energy grew stronger! Moreover, this energy had completely escaped his control. The more he suppressed it, the stronger its resistance became, causing him even greater pain!
Soon, as the energy grew stronger within him, Lian Tianchuan's entire body looked like a piece of clay being squeezed and kneaded. Bulges would repeatedly appear all over his body until, at a certain moment, a huge bulge on top of his head broke through his skin and shot towards the giant sword in the sky.
Lian Tianchuan lay there motionless. A large number appeared above him, indicating that his life bar had been completely emptied.
Lian Tianchuan, Dean of the King's Academy, one of the two major academies in the God Realm, dead!
At this moment, throughout Tianxing City, countless gods were experiencing the same fate. In just a few seconds, countless buildings in Tianxing City collapsed, and countless gods perished in this catastrophe.
One sword settled millions of miles of land, and ten thousand swords rose in the hearts of enemies!
Ye Yun would never have imagined that his idle curiosity in testing the power of this forbidden technique would completely slaughter the gods within millions of miles of Tianxing City!
So, when he received the information about killing gods, he himself was stunned. The number of kills was simply terrifying!
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing 51.76 million ordinary gods, 41.13 million one-star to three-star gods, 11.36 million four-star to six-star gods, 930,000 seven-star and above gods, gaining 233.6 trillion experience points, 1.2 million Combat Power Manifestation Cards, 1.32 million Skill Manifestation Cards, 1835 Dao Rulers, 87.95 million Godhead Fragments, 400 million God Stones, 1550 Universe Martial Sky Stones..."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for destroying 37,853 buildings in Tianxing City, 14,290 defensive buildings, and 1 Qitian Tower. You have obtained 1.2 billion God Stones and special items: Heavenly Palace Blueprint *1, Human King City Crossbow Blueprint *1, Heavenly Doctor Stand Blueprint *1, Heavenly Machine Tower Blueprint *1."
...
A single forbidden technique yielded immense rewards, even propelling Ye Yun's level straight to 69. Such terrifying gains, even for Ye Yun, who was accustomed to harvesting in large quantities, made him unable to remain calm.
"Damn it, just how many gods were in Tianxing City? Why do I feel like they're endless?"
Ye Yun had already killed over a hundred million native gods before, and this time there were still so many more! Could one city accommodate so many gods? This truly baffled Ye Yun.
"Huh? Master, I don't know why, but this soil seems to have loosened up considerably." The Black Ant, who was digging a hole ahead, suddenly said in confusion. His digging speed had greatly increased, and it was getting faster as he went deeper.
"Little Black, try transforming back into your true form!" Upon hearing the Black Ant's words, Ye Yun's heart stirred. A forbidden technique had almost destroyed all the buildings in Tianxing City; it was unlikely to have had no effect on this divine mountain.
"Okay, Master!" The Black Ant never refused Ye Yun's requests. Instantly, a black light emanated from its body, and its entire form suddenly expanded, breaking through the soil and kicking up a shower of gravel.
Seeing this, Ye Yun was overjoyed. He immediately unfurled his Flowing Wind Wings and flew rapidly alongside the Black Ant's expanding form.
"Damn it, I can finally see the sky again!" Ye Yun took a deep breath, standing on the ridge of the mountain and looking at the devastated Tianxing City.
"Master, what happened here? Is this still Tianxing City?" The Black Ant, focused on digging, had not noticed Ye Yun's actions behind it.
"Uh, I guess they angered the heavens by doing too many bad deeds. Let's go, we're heading back. Something big has happened!" Ye Yun said, then jumped onto the Black Ant, which had returned to its original form.
The Black Ant's body length had not increased further, but Ye Yun felt its carapace had become even darker and shinier.
