"Clang!"

The golden War God Sword cleaves through eternity, like a celestial being descending from the heavens, its splendor unparalleled. The piercing radiance is so intense that it is unbearable to the eye, terrifying to the extreme.

In the not so distant starfield, numerous large stars are struck by the residual waves of the longsword, instantly shattering them along with chords of meteorites, turning to ash under the War God Sword!

"Hmph, no matter how you thrust your longsword, it cannot break my Nine-Turned Golden Body!" Li Qingquan snorted coldly, bursting forth with a terrifying Blood Qi, boldly confronting the War God Sword.

The golden longsword collides instantly with golden fists, a clash between the Golden Sun Law and the Law of Force, as well as a contest between Divine Power and the Nine-Turned Golden Body.

Both are formidable beings above the Sub-Saint Realm, their battle terrifying to the extreme, not only a collision of True Yuan and Primordial Spirits but also a fierce physical confrontation!

When they clash, the massive fluctuations that erupt immediately shake the entire starfield.

"Boom!"

A resounding crash, a dazzling golden light bursts from where the fist and the longsword meet, spreading in all directions and sweeping across the universe. Many stars are instantly destroyed, endless meteorites shattered into pieces, vanishing into the cosmos!

On those golden fists, shocking streaks of Blood Radiance begin to appear, with crimson blood spurting thousands of miles into the Void, revealing chilling white bones beneath. The War God Sword carves a terrifying wound on Li Qingquan's fist, with fresh blood flowing freely.

The War God Sword also emits a mournful cry, its dazzling golden light suddenly dims, bouncing high from the tremendous rebound force of the fist. Along with it, the hands of Ares gripping the sword handle are also split open by fine cuts, the blood trickling down the handle onto the blade, strikingly red.

"HAHAHA, Ares, the entire Titan World praises you as a great War God, but now you seem to be just a paper tiger! Now, I shall send you to meet King Yan!" Li Qingquan laughs furiously, his surging Blood Qi bursting skyward, his black hair flying wildly, his massive fist glowing, the ferocious wound quickly healing.

"Arrogant low-class person, come if you dare, do you think I, the god, will fear you?" Although he doesn't know who King Yan is, Ares can guess that it's nothing good. His expression cold, he too fights with anger.

"Take this!"

Li Qingquan fiercely bumps his fist together and charges once more, his momentum capable of swallowing the galaxy.

The two engage in their most terrifying ultimate battle!

The southern hemisphere of Hephaestus already engulfed in fervent flames is now reduced to ruins by the aftermath of their fierce battle, under the dim starlight, appearing exceedingly desolate.

All the active volcanoes on the surface are stimulated, columns of magma erupt from the earth, instantly flooding the entire land. The Centaurs, having just defeated the clan of War Gods and not yet enjoying the fruits of victory, are overwhelmed by the lava.

"Ah!"

They struggle desperately in the fierce flames, but to no avail, only to be consumed by the blazing magma, their bones left untraceable.

The domain of Fire God Hephaestus is devastated beyond recognition, the entire planet soaked in scorching lava, too dire to bear looking at!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a golden silhouette is blasted from the starry sky, crashing directly into the bubbling magma, stirring up tremendous heat waves.

"Shoot, why does this look so familiar?" Long Xuhu, floating in the vast Void, rubs his eyes and says.

"Could it be that Ares?" Man Niu asks amusingly.

"I think so! Look..." Long Xuhu points to a growingly bright sphere in the far-off sea of magma and says.

"Bang!"

Just as he speaks, the unfortunate Ares, wrapped in the faint power of the Golden Sun Law, emerges miserably from the sea of magma.

At this moment, his originally handsome face is bruised and swollen, his once shining armor blasted into worthless scrap.

He looks up at the sky, the fury in his eyes erupting like wildfire, he roars, "Damned low-class people, I... I shall not be defeated by you, die!"

Saying this, he transforms into a beam of golden tunneling light, rushing back into the outer Void at incredible speed.

"Ares, meet your end!" Within the starfield, Li Qingquan's combat strength surges, fully unleashing his Early-Stage Sub-Saint cultivation. His hair wild, the golden Tao Runes envelop his Nine-Turned Golden Body tightly.

He fiercely extends his hand, swinging it downwards, like a Heavenly God punishing demons, ruthless and merciless.

"Buzz!"

The Void trembles, a giant golden-green hand appears in the Star Domain, its mountain-sized palm covering the sky, pressuring the Heavenly Vault, shattering the ancient starry sky!

"Smack!"

This palm strikes earthshakingly, directly causing the surrounding starry space to collapse, turning into cosmic dust.

In the pitch-black starry sky, unparalleled fissures appear, deep and sinister, like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, bloodthirsty, terrifying, and profound!

"Pfft!"

Poor Ares, flying back even faster than he came.

In midair, a burst of fresh blood sprayed out of his mouth as if it cost him nothing, and his robust body rapidly collapsed at a visible speed.

Just as Ares was about to hit the magma, his once whole body was reduced to nothing but a coughing, blood-spewing head, still gasping for life.

"Ah... I hate this!" Ares screamed wildly, the Blood Radiance in his eyes tearing through the Heavenly Vault.

"Hate? Hate your own arrogance and ignorance!" Li Qingquan descended from the sky, looking at the crazed head and gently waved his hand.

"Boom!" A tremendous shock, a burst of golden radiance flashed out, and the surging magma erupted and burst open the Void, submerging Ares's head.

"Ah~~~"

The blazing magma ignited Ares's black hair, and the flames began to burn his head slowly but forcefully!

Slowly, a shiny rhombic ice crystal drifted out from the depths of Ares's skull, a faint blue flame flickering, burning towards the ice crystal.

"Ah... Hephaestus, brother! Stop this flame, please stop it..." A more heart-wrenching scream emanated from Ares's mouth.

"What is that?" Long Xuhu asked, his eyes shining brightly pointing at the rhombic ice crystal.

Pale-faced but visibly regaining some Divine Power, Hephaestus looked at the ice crystal with a complex gaze, saying, "This is Divine Status, it belongs to the War God! Well, it's like the Primordial Spirit of the cultivators in your world."

"Does that mean if the Divine Status is not destroyed, this Ares won't die?" Long Xuhu curiously looked at the small, thumb-sized ice crystal shining brightly in the faint blue flame.

Hephaestus slightly nodded and said, "As long as the Divine Status remains intact, even if arms and legs are missing, or even if the head is split in half, it can all fully recover within an hour."

"Damn, that's amazing! Even the cultivators from Pangu's Great Thousand World can't recover from serious injuries in a short time, this whatever Divine Status is freaking extraordinary!" Long Xuhu suddenly exclaimed loudly.

"Hephaestus, brother, I beg you... help me..."

Ares's Divine Status was burning, emitting another heart-wrenching scream. He was trying to make Hephaestus plead for him to save his life.

Hephaestus's ugly face showed a trace of struggle; he involuntarily turned his head towards Li Qingming and said, "My lord..."

Li Qingming looked at Hephaestus coldly and said indifferently, "If you've done something wrong, you must bear the consequences!"

"But my lord, he is my kin after all…" Hephaestus's lips twitched unnaturally as he spoke.

"Xiao Er, do it!" Li Qingming spoke imperatively, ignoring him further.

"Okay!" Li Qingquan responded, suddenly clenching his originally spread right hand.

"Bang!"

The faint blue flames surged instantaneously, the intense heat burning the Void into numerous spiderweb-like cracks.

"Ah... save me... save..."

Ares's cries and struggles were utterly futile; as the flames ascended, his voice gradually faded, eventually turning into a sprinkle of powder, his Divine Soul utterly extinguished.

Hephaestus's expression darkened; though Ares had always opposed him and even once tried to kill him, they were still kin, sharing the same blood.

"Do you think I am cruel?" Li Qingming quietly watched the scattering blue powder in the sky and turned to speak to Hephaestus.

Hephaestus honestly nodded and said, "My lord, your actions were indeed excessive."

"Excessive?" Li Qingming scoffed, "Have you ever considered, do you treat him like a brother? Does he, Ares, consider you a brother? If your situations were reversed today, what do you think Ares would do?"

"This..." Hephaestus's face stiffened, unable to utter a word.

Li Qingming grinned grimly: "Hahaha! Let me tell you! He would strip your Divine Soul from the Divine Status bit by bit and burn it continuously in the Divine Fire, allowing your body to endure endless torment..."

"No! No more, please! I beg you, no more!" Hephaestus cradled his head and frantically shook, crying out in terror.

"What's with Brother Li today? Why is he so harsh?" Man Niu, stroking his full beard, was somewhat puzzled.

Shakyamuni's eyes sparkled, saying, "Perhaps, Master Li is helping that Alien Race?"

"Help?" Man Niu looked towards Li Qingming confusedly, unable to comprehend.

"Heart as Clear as Ice, Unfazed by the collapse of the sky. Unchanging, Divine Joy and Calm. Dust..."

Seeing Hephaestus's condition, Li Qingming's lips curled into a satisfied smile, his mouth blossoming a Golden Lotus, one after another, ancient Tao Runes self-condensed in the air, drifting into Hephaestus's ears.
