Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

When Taotie jumped down from Lin Yu's arms, the entire battlefield fell silent.

The little ball of fluff landed on the ground, soft and fluffy, looking just like a discarded plush toy.

The Naga Holy King looked down at the little thing, paused for a moment, and then let out a deafening laugh.

"Hahahaha! Human, you sent a furry ball to its death?!"

It laughed so hard it could barely breathe, its six arms flailing wildly, its snake tail slapping the ground so hard it shook the earth.

On the city wall, General Zhang's face turned pale.

"What is Lin Yu doing?! Sending that little brat to deal with the Holy King?!"

The Azure Cloud Sword Saint frowned, but remained silent.

He just stared at the little ball of fur, a strange glint in his eyes.

Because he felt—

Hidden within that little thing was a power that even made his heart tremble.

Taotie raised its head and looked at the colossal creature, hundreds of meters tall, with its large, bright eyes.

Then it yawned.

It was a real yawn.

Her mouth opened, revealing her pink tongue, and then closed again.

"Are you done laughing?" it asked, its voice still so sweet, so soft, with a hint of languor.

The Holy King's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Now that you've finished laughing, it's time to begin."

No sooner had the words been spoken than the Taotie moved.

It wasn't an expansion, nor a transformation; it was just that half-meter-tall little furball that pounced directly at the Holy King!

Its speed was astonishing, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air!

The Holy King's pupils contracted, and he instinctively raised the [Abyss Shield] to block—

"Bang!!!"

A deafening roar!

That ancient, massive shield was actually dented by that little furball!

The Holy King retreated three steps, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground.

It looked down at the dents on the shield and was completely dumbfounded.

"What... what kind of power is this?!"

The Taotie landed back on the ground and shook its head.

"Your shield is pretty tough," it muttered. "Much tougher than the dragon's head we ate last time."

After saying that, it began to swell again.

one meter.

Two meters.

……

Two hundred meters!

When the expansion stopped, what appeared before the Holy King was a colossal creature over two hundred meters tall!

A fluffy, fleshy body, large, bright eyes, and a huge mouth—

It is now slightly open, revealing the bottomless darkness within.

But unlike before, this time, pale golden patterns appeared on the surface of the Taotie's body.

Those were traces of power surging within the body.

The Holy King's body began to tremble.

That was a suppression from the depths of one's bloodline.

"You...you're Taotie?!"

Taotie tilted its enormous head.

"Oh, you know me?"

Holy King: "..."

Of course it recognizes it.

The name Taotie has been passed down in the Starfield Battlefield for tens of thousands of years.

That terrifying being that eats and devours everything.

It is said that it once swallowed up a foreign kingdom in one gulp.

It is said that it once fought against ancient gods.

It is said to have lived for tens of thousands of years, and no one has ever been able to kill it.

And now, it stands before me.

But the Holy King is, after all, the Holy King, an old monster who has lived for thousands of years.

It took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the fear in its heart.

"So what if it's a glutton?"

"Today I will see just how powerful the legendary Taotie really is!"

It raised the Doomhammer and brought it down!

That hammer blow, carrying earth-shattering power, smashed towards the Taotie's head!

Taotie did not hide.

It simply raised one of its front paws to meet the blow.

"Bang!!!"

The moment the claws and hammer collided, a shockwave visible to the naked eye spread out from the point of impact!

Wherever the shockwave passed, space itself was distorted and collapsed!

On the ground, countless Naga warriors and mechanical creations were blown away!

On the city wall, the broken rune arrays flashed wildly, almost collapsing!

The Azure Cloud Sword Saint's expression changed drastically. He unleashed a sword strike, creating a sword curtain in front of the city wall to block the shockwave.

But his arms were trembling.

"What... what kind of power is this?!"

He was already a top-tier level 100 Awakened being, but at this moment, he felt as insignificant as an ant in the face of this power.

Both Leng Ningshuang and Lei Zhentian were deathly pale.

They finally understood what a "divine beast" was.

That's a level that humans simply cannot reach.

On the battlefield, the battle between the Taotie and the Holy King continues.

The Holy King swung all six arms in unison, slashing with the Naga Divine Sword, smashing with the Hammer of Destruction, and stabbing with the Soul Scepter, each strike carrying earth-shattering power.

The Taotie only uses its two front paws to fight.

But in each collision, the Holy King was forced back.

Its power is immense.

It's ridiculously big.

The more the Holy King fought, the more alarmed he became.

Each of its strikes is enough to destroy a small mountain.

But when it hits the Taotie, it's like hitting cotton; it bounces back with ten times the force.

"Bang!"

Another collision, and the Holy King staggered back five steps, all six of his arms going numb.

It looked down at the divine weapon in its hand—

A crack appeared on the blade of the Naga Divine Sword.

The Abyss Shield has been completely deformed and has lost all its defensive function.

The Pearl of Time and Space has stopped functioning, the Mirror of Destiny is covered in cracks, the gems on the Scepter of Souls are dull and lifeless, and the hammerhead of the Hammer of Destruction is full of dents.

All six ancient artifacts were damaged in the collision with the Taotie's flesh!

The Holy King's heart is bleeding.

These artifacts are treasures painstakingly collected by the Naga people over thousands of years, and each one is priceless.

Now, it's all ruined.

But the Taotie was completely unharmed.

It was even yawning.

"That's it?" Taotie blinked. "I thought you were much stronger."

The Holy King's face turned bright red.

It has lived for tens of thousands of years and has never been humiliated like this before.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" it roared, "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

It raised its hand, bit its own tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The essence of blood burned in the air, transforming into a strange crimson light that enveloped its entire body.

[Ultimate Blood Curse]!

A forbidden secret technique of the Naga race, using one's own blood essence as a catalyst, burning life force to gain a surge in power for a short period of time!

The aura of the Holy King surged instantly!

Its body began to swell, growing from 100 meters to 120 meters in length, its muscles bulging and its golden scales turning blood red.

Its eyes turned completely blood red.

"Taotie!" it roared, "Even if I die today, I'll take you down with me!"

It unleashed a powerful punch!

This punch was more than ten times stronger than the previous one!

Wherever the fist passed, space shattered, revealing a pitch-black void!

Taotie's eyes lit up when it saw the punch.

"Hey, this is starting to get interesting."

It met the attack head-on with a punch of its own!

"boom!!!"

The moment the two fists collided, the entire world trembled!

A shockwave with a diameter of over a kilometer spread out, leveling everything in its path!

Those Naga warriors who didn't have time to escape were torn to shreds by the shockwave!

On the border city wall, all the rune arrays exploded simultaneously!

Only by working together to set up a defense could the city wall be barely protected from destruction.

But blood was seeping from the corners of all three people's mouths.

Lei Zhentian murmured, "Is this... a battle between ancient mythical beasts and ancient divine beasts?"

No one answered him.

Everyone was so shocked by the devastating scene that they were speechless.

After the shockwave dissipated, everyone looked towards the center of the battlefield.

The Holy King stood there, panting heavily.

Its right fist was completely deformed, with the bone exposed.

Taotie remained standing still, completely motionless.

There was only a faint white mark on its right fist.

The Holy King's pupils contracted violently.

"No...impossible!"

Its ultimate blood curse, which burned a third of its life force, only left a white mark on the furball?!

Taotie looked down at his fist, then at the Holy King, and laughed.

That smile was particularly irritating to the Holy King.

"Little brat, did you think I used my full strength just now?"

The Holy King was stunned.

Taotie raised one of its front paws and pointed to its belly.

"Do you know how much I've eaten from my master?"

It begins counting:

"On the first day, we ate steamed buns and dumplings from three mountains."

"On the second day, I ate at five buffet restaurants."

"On the third day, the master personally cooked thirty pots of rice and fifty pots of noodles for me."

"Day four, day five, day six..."

"For the past month, I have been eating at least a ton of food every day."

The Holy King's expression changed.

It suddenly remembered a legend about the Taotie—

The Taotie's talent is that it can convert the food it eats into power.

The more you eat, the stronger you become.

"You..." its voice began to tremble, "those foods..."

Taotie nodded, looking completely innocent.

"I haven't digested it yet; it's still stored up."

It patted its belly.

"Now, it's time to digest it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light burst forth from Taotie's body!

The golden light was so dazzling that everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

When the golden light faded, the aura of the Taotie had completely changed.

It's still that fluffy ball that's over two hundred meters tall.

But at this moment, the oppressive aura emanating from it caused the Holy King to kneel down.

They really knelt down.

It wasn't out of fear, but because the oppressive force was so strong that it couldn't stand up.

Taotie looked down at the Holy King kneeling on the ground and tilted its head.

"Hey, why are you kneeling down?"

The Holy King wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't even open his mouth.

The oppressive force made it difficult for it to even breathe.

The Taotie raised one of its front paws and flicked it gently.

"Bang!"

The Holy King was thrown back, carving a furrow a kilometer long into the ground.

It struggled to its feet, covered in blood.

The Taotie lashed out with its claws again.

"Bang!"

The Holy King was sent flying again.

Get up again.

It was slapped away again.

……

The whole process was like a cat playing with a mouse.

The Holy King was covered in wounds, most of his golden scales were gone, three of his six arms were broken, and a section of his snake tail was also broken off.

It lay on the ground, panting heavily, its eyes filled with despair and resentment.

It is unwilling to accept this.

It has lived for thousands of years, is the Holy King of the Naga race, an ancient alien species of level 110, and a being feared by countless living beings.

Now, however, it is being toyed with by a Taotie.

"No--"

"I am not reconciled!"

It roared, a mad light flashing in its eyes.

It bit its own wrist, causing blood to gush out.

The blood fell to the ground, but instead of seeping into the soil, it began to burn.

The crimson flames burned ever brighter, outlining a huge, eerie rune array on the ground.

The Taotie tilted its head and looked at it, without stopping it.

It was curious to see what other tricks this thing could pull.

The Holy King knelt in the center of the rune array, roaring to the sky:

"The great god of the abyss!"

"Your devout followers offer you sacrifices!"

"With the lives of my people's elite as a sacrifice, I beseech your divine power to help me slay my mighty enemy!"

The words had barely left his mouth—

On the battlefield, the three elders who had been severely injured by Lin Xue screamed at the same time, their bodies exploded, turning into blood mist and merging into the rune array!

The bodies of the other three marshals also exploded, turning into a bloody mist!

Six plumes of blood mist merged into the rune array, which then erupted with a towering pillar of blood-red light!

The beam of light shot straight into the sky, piercing the gray-purple sky of the star field battlefield!

A huge crack appeared in the sky.

Beyond the crevice lies an endless abyss.

A giant eye emerged from the slit.

That eye was as black as ink, with countless stars swirling within its pupil.

It looked down at the ground.

Look at the Holy King.

Look at the Taotie.

Looking across the entire battlefield.

A deep voice came from the crack, echoing between heaven and earth:

"Who... is summoning me?"

The voice, carrying immense pressure, made everyone feel suffocated.

On the city wall, countless soldiers knelt down.

The Azure Cloud Sword Saint's expression changed drastically.

"God...god?!"

He had lived for over a hundred years and this was the first time he had ever seen a true god.

Even though it's a projection, it's still a deity!

The projection of the god of the abyss slowly descended from the crack.

It has no fixed shape; it is just a huge black shadow, within which countless eyes can be vaguely seen blinking.

It landed on the ground, and the whole earth trembled.

It looked at the Taotie, and all its countless eyes narrowed at the same time.

"Taotie...an ancient mythical beast..."

"No wonder I had to take action myself."

Taotie blinked as it looked at the dark figure.

"Who are you?"

The God of the Abyss was taken aback.

who is it?

It is the ruler of the abyss realm, a being feared by countless creatures, and a god high above.

This gluttonous beast actually asked who it was?

"I am the God of the Abyss," it said in a deep voice. "Taotie, if you leave now, I may spare your life."

Taotie tilted its head.

"Why should I leave? I haven't had enough fun yet."

The God of the Abyss fell silent.

It had lived for millions of years, and this was the first time it had ever seen anyone dare to speak to it like that.

"Fine, since you're courting death, then this god will—"

Before he could finish speaking, a golden light descended from the sky!

That light was more dazzling and more intense than the descent of the god of the abyss!

Everyone looked up.

Another crack is opening in the sky.

Beyond the crack lies endless chaos.

Golden chaos.

A figure slowly emerged from the crack.

It was a woman, her whole body shrouded in golden light, her face obscured, only her golden eyes, like two suns, were visible.

Lin Shan stood there with her eyes closed.

But everyone could sense that there was some mysterious connection between the figure that emerged from the crack and her.

A projection of the God of Chaos.

Coming!

It looked at the god of the abyss, its golden eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Abyss, do you dare to provoke me?"

The God of the Abyss was stunned.

"Chaos?!"

It looked at Lin Shan, then at the projection, and its mind went completely blank.

This human girl is the controller of the God of Chaos?!

Then, another crack opened.

Beyond the crack lies an endless abyss.

Dark green light surged from the crack, and a gigantic figure slowly descended.

It was a skeleton, wearing a tattered black robe and holding a huge scythe.

Within its empty eye sockets, eerie green flames flickered.

A projection of the god of the underworld.

Coming!

It looked at the god of the abyss, and the eerie green flame flickered.

"Abyss, it's been a long time."

God of the Abyss: "..."

It looked at the God of Chaos, then at the God of the Abyss, and then at itself.

I suddenly realized that I didn't check the Chinese calendar before going out today.

"Gentlemen," it chuckled dryly, "this is a misunderstanding..."

The God of the Underworld ignored it and instead looked at Lin Qing.

The green-haired girl with snake-like eyes was clinging to Lin Yu's arm, gazing at it with a deep, unsettling look.

The God of the Underworld was silent for a second, then nodded.

That gesture carried a hint of...respect?

The God of Chaos also looked at Lin Shan and nodded.

The God of the Abyss was completely dumbfounded.

These two realm controllers are actually being so polite to those two human girls?!

It suddenly realized a problem—

It seems like I've kicked a hornet's nest.

And it's a very hard one.

"Um," it coughed, "I was just passing by... You all continue, I'll be going now..."

It turned and tried to run away.

But the God of Chaos and the God of the Underworld moved at the same time.

Golden and dark green light intertwined, forming a massive net of light that enveloped the projection of the God of the Abyss.

The god of the abyss struggled twice, but found he couldn't break free.

It is, after all, a projection, not the actual object.

On the other side were two projections of the same level.

"You two," it pleaded, "I was truly just passing by..."

"It was that ant that summoned me, the god, through sacrifice..."

"I have no grudge against you..."

The God of Chaos did not speak, but simply looked at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan opened her eyes and looked at the shrouded abyss projection.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

The God of the Abyss quickly replied, "I was summoned through sacrifice!"

"It was that ant who sacrificed six level 100 lives that prompted this god to send down his projection!"

"I have no ill intentions towards you!"

Lin Shan looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Make it vomit up the sacrificial offerings."

God of the Abyss: "..."

Spit it out?

How do you spit out the sacrificial offerings?

But seeing those two menacing beings of the same level, it gritted its teeth and waved its hand.

Six beams of light shot out from its body and landed on the ground.

Those were six clusters of pure life energy—

The souls and power of the three elders and three marshals were forcibly recalled from the abyss.

The God of the Abyss was in excruciating pain.

These six offerings represent the largest single sacrifice it has received in millions of years.

Now it's all come out.

"Can you let me go now?" it asked cautiously.

The God of Chaos and the God of the Underworld looked at Lin Shan and Lin Qing.

They both nodded at the same time.

The optical network disappeared.

The projection of the God of the Abyss vanished into the sky in an instant, running faster than a rabbit.

The Naga Holy King was left standing there, completely dumbfounded.

It looked at the six clusters of life energy floating in the air, and then at the two divine projections in the sky that had not yet left, and its whole body trembled.

"No...no...you can't treat me like this..."

The God of Chaos and the God of the Abyss looked at it.

That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at an ant.

"When you summoned me, you didn't mention dealing with these two," the Abyss God's voice came from the sky, tinged with schadenfreude. "Now, you can deal with them yourself."

The Holy King was in despair.

It turned and tried to run away.

But the God of Chaos and the God of the Underworld moved at the same time.

The golden light transformed into a giant hand, and the dark green light transformed into another giant hand, both of which simultaneously seized the Holy King.

The Holy King screamed and struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free at all.

The two divine projections exerted their power together.

The Holy King's body was instantly torn apart!

Moreover, it is not the body that is torn apart, but the soul!

Its soul was forcibly extracted from its body and split in two, one half enveloped in golden light and the other half in dark green light.

The Holy King's soul was screaming, struggling, and pleading.

But nobody paid any attention to it.

The two divine projections each took half of the soul and returned to their respective realms.

In the sky, two cracks slowly closed.

On the battlefield, only the Holy King's hundred-meter-tall corpse remained, crashing to the ground.

Lin Yu stood there, looking at the corpse.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

He raised his hand.

[Rare and Precious Treasures] activated!

It takes 60 seconds to refine the Holy King's corpse into an "Essence Pill".

A golden pill the size of a fist floated in his palm.

Within the elixir, one could vaguely see a miniature version of the Naga Holy King swimming around.

Lin Yu put away the pills and looked at the six floating clusters of life energy.

That was the soul and power of the three elders and the three marshals.

He thought for a moment and then put them all into his spatial ring.

These things might be useful later.

Finally, he looked at the fallen artifact next to the Holy King's corpse.

It was a scepter.

It is entirely golden, with a fist-sized gem set at the top, within which a miniature universe can be vaguely seen slowly rotating.

Lin Yu bent down and picked up the scepter.

The moment he got his hands on it, he felt a massive influx of information flooding into his mind.

【Name: Sacred Scepter】

[Quality: Eternal]

[Level: No level restriction]

[Attribute: All attributes +1000]

【Skill 1: Divine Protection - Deploys a shield that lasts for 30 seconds, absorbing all damage. Cooldown: 24 hours】

Lin Yu finished reading and fell silent.

This scepter is simply outrageous.

Especially the [Holy Resurrection] skill, it's practically a life-saving artifact.

He put away his scepter and turned to look at the battlefield.

The Naga army, having lost its leader, completely collapsed.

The remaining less than five thousand Naga warriors scattered and fled.

The mechanical army caught up and launched another massacre.

But Lin Yu raised her hand to stop her.

That's enough.

He looked at the fleeing Naga.

"Go back and tell your people that from this day forward, they are not allowed to set foot in human territory."

"otherwise--"

He pointed to the Holy King's corpse on the ground.

"This is what happens."

The Naga were as if they had been granted a pardon and fled without looking back.

On the border city wall, General Zhang was completely dumbfounded as he watched this scene.

The soldiers around him had the same expression.

"You...you won?"

"The Naga Holy King...was turned into a pill?"

"Those two deities...are they from Lin Yu's team?"

General Zhang took a deep breath and then smiled.

I laughed so hard that tears streamed down my face.

"We won! We won!"

A deafening cheer erupted from the city wall.

The soldiers hugged each other, crying and laughing at the same time.

The Azure Cloud Sword Saint fell from the sky, covered in wounds, but with a smile on his face.

He walked up to Lin Yu and looked at the young man intently.

"Kid, you..."

He opened his mouth, but in the end only managed to utter four words:

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

Leng Ningshuang and Lei Zhentian also landed, looking at Lin Yu with complicated expressions.

Lei Zhentian patted Lin Yu's shoulder, wincing in pain.

"Kid, if you ever need anything, just say the word! I'll be there whenever you call!"

Leng Ning Shuang didn't speak, but simply nodded to Lin Yu.

But his eyes were full of respect.

At that moment, a group of people wearing matching battle robes walked over.

The leader was a woman with long, ice-blue hair.

Face cream.

The vice-captain of the "Dawn" battle group.

She looked at Lin Yu, her eyes flashing with an unusual light.

Previously, she just thought Lin Yu was very strong and wanted to curry favor with him.

But now, she feels that her understanding of Lin Yu is still too shallow.

It can summon divine projections and make both gods obey its commands.

Who exactly is this person?

She walked up to Lin Yu, took a deep breath, and said earnestly:

"Mr. Lin Yu, I mentioned before that I wanted to join you, but you said we could talk about it later."

"Now, I want to ask again—"

She looked into Lin Yu's eyes and said, word by word:

"Can I join?"

Lin Yu looked at her and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he laughed.

"We'll see."

Yan Shuang paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Okay, then I'll keep asking until you agree."

She turned and left, but after a few steps, she turned back and glanced at Lin Yu again.

There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
