"Slap!"

"Oh? Is that really the case?" Ares snapped his fingers and said, "Oxu!"

The half-goat Oxu flew respectfully to Ares' side, bowed deeply, and said with a sycophantic smile on his face, "Oxu is here, my great lord Ares!"

"High Priest Oxu, your Fire God claims that these alien races are his guests. That differs from what you've told me!" Ares waved his golden longsword slowly as he spoke, his unhurried demeanor resembling that of an elegant nobleman.

A vicious grin spread across the half-goat Oxu's face as he angrily pointed at the crowd below, saying, "He's lying! These scoundrels are spies from the Technology Mysterious City, here to assess our Titan world's entire military strength, to wage a world war and swallow the Titan world!"

"My dear Hephaestus brother, seeing it this way! Are you planning to betray the Titan world?" Ares caressed his golden longsword flirtatiously as he spoke.

Hephaestus's face was ashen as he retorted, "Anything becomes twisted once it reaches your lips! Ares, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Very simple!" Ares' handsome visage gradually contorted, and a tremendous killing intent erupted from within him: "To kill you! Along with these spies from the Technology Mysterious City! The charge is betrayal of the Titan world, intending to overthrow the rule of the Divine King! All soldiers, heed my command, kill!"

"Kill! Fight for our great Divine King Apollo! Fight for our great War God Ares! Kill!"

All the golden armored soldiers who had come with Ares to Hephaestus Planet sprang into action.

Their hands wielded weapons gleaming with golden light, and the burning mana of the Taoyi Golden Immortal Realm blazed fiercely, a torrential golden-red Blood Qi engulfing the heavens, a killing intent unmatched!

"Curse you, Ares! All Divine Slaves, heed my command, take up your long knives and bows and arrows, kill these brutish and unreasonable invaders! After this battle, I swear in my name, Hephaestus, the Fire God, I will grant you your freedom!" Hephaestus' eyes were also bloodshot; to not resist was to die, but to fight back held the potential for success.

Besides, his side still had these freaks from Pangu's Great Thousand World. Intuition told him that in the end, Ares would surely be the unlucky one.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

Tens of thousands of centaurs were excited; they had been accustomed to obeying the Fire God since birth and had never tasted freedom! As long as they repelled Ares' subordinates, they could gain freedom, the freedom they had longed for!

They were staking their lives for freedom!

"Boom!"

The forces of Ares' followers instantly clashed with the vast tribe of centaurs, and streaks of golden and crimson light filled the entire heaven and earth, the piercing war cries deafening.

More than twenty thousand cultivators of the Taiyi Realm poured out their sweat and blood wholeheartedly.

"A curse upon you, War God's tribe, return my freedom!"

"For our great lord Ares, I am willing to sacrifice my life!"

"War God's tribe, you deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"

Shouts like these, along with the sound of weapons cutting through flesh, became the main melody of heaven and earth.

The entire land had transformed into a battlefield of Hell, where just this once, many soldiers from both sides fell into pools of blood, their last wisp of essential life force scattered along with it.

Hephaestus, too, joined the fray wielding a pale blue long spear. Despite having exhausted his True Yuan earlier, how could a being at the Great Power of Sub-Saint Realm be so easily killed?

He zigzagged through the crowd, and with each thrust of his spear, a fresh life was taken.

...

Facing everything that was happening on the battlefield, Li Qingming and others coldly observed from one side. It wasn't that they didn't care about these Cultivators, but this was, after all, their destiny. Once chosen, they must bear it.

"Big brother, let me end this war!" Finally, Li Qingquan could no longer just stand by and watch. He glanced at Ares, who was leisurely watching the fight from the Heavenly Vault, a cold and piercing light flashing in his eyes.

"Go ahead, you do it!" Li Qingming did not stop Li Qingquan this time because he knew that the calmer Li Qingquan appeared, the angrier he was at heart.

Long Xuhu and Man Niu exchanged glances and both made a gesture of prayer with their hands together, secretly thinking, "It's over, Second Brother (Second Brother Li) is enraged. I hope you don't die too miserably!"

Above in the Heavenly Vault, Li Qingming had already floated across and faced Ares directly.

"Your name is Ares, right? Dare you fight?" Li Qingquan stood there, empty-handed, ten yards away from Ares, speaking indifferently.

Ares let out a light breath, sensing the opponent's mana and cultivation, which only showed mid-stage Quasi-Saint fluctuations. He scoffed, "Are you sure you want to do this? Be careful not to lose your little life!"

"You talk too much! Didn't your family teach you not to talk to strangers?" Li Qingquan tried his best to maintain the mana fluctuations at the Quasi-Saint Realm. He did not want to reveal his own cultivation at the Saint Realm, lest he frighten away this arrogant and brutal man.

"Alright, you've successfully angered me! Meet your demise!" Ares roared furiously, and a brilliant golden light erupted around him. A mighty Blood Qi Power surged with his sword-slashing motion, overwhelming Li Qingquan like an all-encompassing blanket.

"Never expected this guy to have Sub-Saint Middle Stage cultivation! No wonder he has always overshadowed Hephaestus!" Li Qingming's eyes brightened, as he inwardly pondered.

"Pssh, is that all the ability you have?" Li Qingquan's True Essence Power was instantly elevated to the Sub-Saint Early Stage. He intended to rely on his powerful physique, with a cultivation one level lower, to thoroughly break Ares in body and spirit.

"Boom!"

A loud blast tore through the sky, and the vault of heaven instantly shattered.

With the fist of his Nine-Turned Golden Body, Li Qingquan forcefully clashed against Ares' longsword, sending the glittering blade flying back.

"Sub-Saint Early Stage?" Feeling the severe pain transmitting from his hand, Ares couldn't believe that a low-class person who was at mid-stage Quasi-Saint moments ago, could have a secret technique to instantaneously stimulate their cultivation to the early stage of Sub-Saint? That's a whole two levels of difference, and one of them is the chasm from Quasi-Saint to Sub-Saint!

"If I could get this secret technique, why would the position of Divine King ever be Apollo's turn to occupy? And that worthless Black Robed Man 'Emperor Jiang', all go to hell!" Thinking of the possibility, Ares's eyes heatedly stared at Li Qingquan.

"I must get it, I must get that secret technique." As Ares thought this, his attacks became even more ferocious.

The unlucky Ares had never considered that Li Qingquan would hide his true cultivation before. Or to put it another way, in his subconscious, he did not want to think so!

Because if that was the case, a thousand of him wouldn't be enough for Li Qingquan to kill! (To be continued.
