The young man's cold voice echoed through the valley.
A pair of indifferent pupils looked at Luo Yu with mockery, anticipating Luo Yu to display an expression of panic and confusion.
However, the reality disappointed him.
Luo Yu had no special reaction to his words, his face remained calm without any ripples.
Not a hint of fear, but instead, he asked with curiosity, "What is a Dragon Clan Remnant?"
This scene took the young man by surprise.
In fact, he wasn't certain whether Luo Yu was related to the Dragon Clan or not.
He had initially been drawn near Tiandou City by the fluctuations of the Divine Zither and then happened to sense the fighting fluctuations here, finding Luo Yu's aura to be somewhat special.
Even he, a deity, found it somewhat elusive.
So he decided to come forward and test Luo Yu with his words.
If Luo Yu really were a Dragon Clan Remnant, facing his divine status and sudden stern interrogation, he would certainly reveal his guilt.
Yet the youth before him remained unexpectedly composed.
Could it be that this kid really was just a human?
The young man hesitated slightly and decided to probe further just to be sure.
He dropped his disguise, and a brilliant divine light burst forth from him.
God Rings revolved behind him, and his burly body was clad in Golden Armor Divine Garb, exuding a terrifying divine pressure that swept toward Luo Yu in an instant.
"Hmph!"
"A mere Dragon Clan Remnant dares to masquerade before me."
"You have nowhere to hide now, surrender yourself."
Luo Yu, who had been closely observing the young deity's micro-expressions, already had an idea of what to expect.
At first, he thought he had been exposed.
It was only after seeing a flicker of doubt cross the other's face that he realized he was being bluffed.
Now, he had an easier task at hand.
"What Dragon Clan Remnant?"
"Where?"
Luo Yu looked around and finally gazed innocently at the young man.
The young man saw Luo Yu's bewildered and awe-stricken eyes, and his trembling legs under the might of his divine presence, and a strong look of disdain flashed through his eyes.
"Dragon Clan Remnant, I have seen through you a long time ago. How much longer will you pretend?"
Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly, "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
After several rounds of testing without any result,
The young man sighed internally, it seemed this guy really was just a human with something special about him.
"Alright, it's nothing."
"I mistook you for someone else. You can go now!"
Luo Yu's head wasn't messed up; naturally, he wouldn't confront him head-on. With Gu Yuena in retreat and his own strength not at peak, he remembered the young man's face and turned to leave.
He quickly vanished from the young man's sight.
But his steps remained even, without speeding up, showing not a hint of guilt.
After two kilometers, Luo Yu thought the other party would not chase after him.
But unexpectedly, a streak of golden light shot from behind, crashing down in front of him in a blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
The young man stood clad in Golden Armor Divine Garb, imposing to the extreme, and looked at Luo Yu indifferently.
"Sorry, you can't leave today."
Luo Yu spread his hands, "Do you still think I am a Dragon Clan Remnant?"
The young man shook his head.
"To tell the truth, I don't think you are a Dragon Clan Remnant."
"But when it comes to Dragon Clan Remnants, I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."
"After all, even if you're not a Dragon Clan Remnant, killing you has no impact on me."
"So why not try and see? If I get lucky and you are one, it'll be a huge achievement."
Luo Yu sneered, "So a mortal's life is so negligible in your eyes?"
The young man's pupils flickered with cold blood, "In the eyes of a True God, mortals are like ants. Slaying you is just effortless, I kill if I wish, who can do anything about it."
Luo Yu sneered, "Are all the deities in the heavens as despicable as you?"
"How dare you, a mere mortal ant, discourse about heaven and earth."
"I decree that you can go and die now."
A Golden Coiling Dragon Staff appeared in the young man's hands, radiating an explosive aura.
Without even bothering to exert his divine power, he casually swung the staff towards Luo Yu.
Even a casual blow from a deity had long surpassed the level of a hundred,
and this strike was thunderous, causing the air to detonate with sound.
The atmosphere around became viscous.
Luo Yu fully activated the Nine Heavens Execution Sword, combining the three rings.
The first three two-hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Rings merged together, and a new, intensely dark red Soul Ring appeared, radiating a hint of golden light.
The Soul Ring fused into the Zhu Tian Sword, and in an instant, the Nine Heavens Execution Sword underwent an earth-shattering transformation.
Luo Yu swept out with his sword, and the very void rippled in waves.
He struck head-on with the Golden Coiling Dragon Staff.
"Clang!"
As an explosive sound emitted.
The sword trembled, and Luo Yu was sent flying back.
He finally stabilized his form, his sword-holding arm went numb from the impact.
The young deity looked in surprise at his staff being blocked, his gaze filled with wonder.
"You're not ordinary, are you, lad? To block my casual blow, you can be considered a strong mortal ant."
"But that's all there is to it, because—"
"You've angered me."
"This time, there's absolutely no chance for you."
The young deity erupted with divine power, and the Golden Coiling Dragon Staff instantly emitted an aura as profound as the abyss.
"You can… go die!!"
With this strike from the young deity, space itself was quaking and wailing, as if it could be shattered at any moment.
Luo Yu's expression changed, feeling his body firmly locked down.
The opponent's move was unavoidable; they could only brace for it.
By now, there was no need for secrecy.
"Roar!"
A heaven-shaking dragon roar erupted, and a nine-colored dragon shadow soared upwards.
Luo Yu's Dragon God Martial Soul Embodiment activated, his arms, legs, and torso enveloped by five Dragon King Phantoms. In an instant, they formed the magnificent Five-Colored Dragon King Armor that covered his entire body.
Crushed by the weight of the deity's power, Luo Yu's own strength surged to its peak.
The powers of the five great Dragon Kings merged into one under the regulation of the Dragon God Martial Soul, coalescing into a unified force.
The Nine Heavens Execution Sword vibrated intensely with a buzzing tremor.
Luo Yu pushed his Creation God Pupil to its limit, striving to fully exploit the opponent's staff's vulnerabilities.
Seizing the opportunity, and bolstered by the power of the Five-Colored Dragon King Armor, he swept out with his sword.
"Clang!"
The collision between the two caused the heavens to shatter and the earth to split.
The blast of the powerful shockwave instantly detonated, causing rocks to tumble down in tiny droplets.
"Hiss!"
The Nine Heavens Execution Sword flew from Luo Yu's grasp, and the Five-Colored Dragon King Armor disintegrated.
A spurt of fresh blood shot out as his body was flung sideways, crashing into the mountainside.
But the young deity's forceful blow was solidly withstood by him.
The young deity had assumed his strike would absolutely obliterate this mortal ant, and he was thoroughly shaken by the unexpected turn of events.
A deity wielding divine power had his strike blocked by a mere mortal?
No, this man was a remnant of the Dragon Clan!
The shock Luo Yu received upon withstanding that move was so great that the deity almost forgot the most crucial point of concern.
The young deity instantly gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, cunning Dragon Clan relic, you dare to play the Divine like a fool."
"Had I not been cold-blooded, indiscriminately slaughtering, I might have been fooled by you."
"To hell with you!"
He swung his Coiling Dragon Staff again, and with a ferocious smash towards the mountainside, divine light burst forth.
"Crack!"
The entire hillock was split in two in an instant.
"Cough cough cough."
Luo Yu emerged from the dust, transforming into a streak of light as he dashed out.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The young deity bellowed, his figure speeding out to block Luo Yu's path.
Seeing Luo Yu looking disheveled but not severely injured, the young deity's pupils constricted as he squinted and said coldly,
"Quite a Dragon Clan relic you are."
"For centuries, you are the first human capable of battling against the gods with a mortal's body."
"However, it's unfortunate for you to have been caught by me today—there is only one way out: death."
As the young deity's gaze swept over Luo Yu, recalling how the latter had blocked his strike, he couldn't help but let out a series of relieved clicks of his tongue.
"It was lucky I didn't let you escape today; otherwise, with your cunning wisdom and terrifying talent, how frightening it would be to let you grow."
"Worthless ant, do not attempt to beg for mercy."
"The Asura God King has commanded that the remnants of the Dragon Clan must be executed by all deities!"
Looking at Luo Yu, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and remained silent, the young deity let out a triumphant laugh.
Waves of divine power climbed climaxing, as the God Rings on his body shone to their extreme.
"Feel the fear, scream."
"I can already sense the despair in your heart!"
The young deity unleashed his divine power completely, shining like a scorching golden sun.
The entire valley trembled, the clouds dispersed, and the earth groaned.
"Now—"
"You can die!!"
The young deity's eyes flashed with extreme ruthlessness and pride as he swung the Golden Coiling Dragon Staff, tearing through the void, carrying the might of the world shattering, and aimed straight for Luo Yu's head.
Luo Yu, of course, would not submit, standing tall with his back ramrod straight.
His eyes blazed with Amethyst Gold brilliance, showing no fear.
The deity in the sky cackled wildly, as in his eyes, Luo Yu was already mincemeat.
In the nick of time, the ordinary Fragrance Pouch tied around Luo Yu's waist.
Suddenly vibrated intensely, erupting in a burst of seven colors.
A diamond-shaped, seven-colored Dragon Scale flew out of the pouch, appearing in the middle of the battlefield.
The young deity looked disdainful and waved his golden cudgel.
"Insignificant tricks, not worth mentioning."
"Mortal ant, die for this god!"
Just as the golden cudgel smashed onto the Dragon Scale,
A vast fissure opened in space, and a bottomless black hole emerged.
"Insignificant tricks? Hehe."
A woman's cold laugh came from the black hole.
Crystalline and ethereal, majestic and indifferent.
Then, a hand smooth as jade, stunningly beautiful, reached out from the black hole.
It caught the Golden Coiling Dragon Staff.
The formidable Golden Coiling Dragon Staff instantly became quiet as a mouse, firmly pinched and immobilized.
"Who? Who is it?"
The young deity's face paled instantaneously.
"A mere Third-level Deity, nothing but an ant, dares to harm my man."
"Ignorant creature, are you worthy?"
From the black hole, the silhouette of an unparalleled beauty slowly emerged…
