Exploding God

Chapter 1107 How dare a mere grain of sand speak of the stars?

Lord of Realms!

This unfamiliar vocabulary swept across the entire hillside like a storm that broke through boundaries, and together with the headless corpse of Old Zhong lying slumped on the ground, it violently impacted everyone's minds.

The figure standing with his hands behind his back was like a huge mountain falling from the sky, pressing down on them so much that they could hardly breathe.

"withdraw!"

Seeing this, Tantai Mingze immediately understood that they had met their match. He no longer had time to think about how Lu Ze had broken the Crimson Killing Light Formation.

In that critical moment, he made the decisive decision to abandon the team.

He was the furthest away and the strongest among them, so he was arguably the least dangerous member of the group at the moment!

But being cautious by nature, he did not let his guard down. Even as he shouted for retreat, he drew three short, black arrows from the quiver behind him and launched them without looking back!

——【Net Weaving & Splitting Arrow】!

The arrow's edge unleashed a spreading shockwave; the three arrowheads, like black lightning, were divided into three parts and six parts, then six parts and twelve parts...

Twenty-four, forty-eight... and in an instant, it broke into three digits!

The countless shadows intertwined to form a large net, which covered a much larger area than the [Corrosive Arrow Net] that had ambushed Lu Ze, but its targets were completely different.

The giant net did not cover Lu Ze, but instead stood directly in front of Tantai Mingze like a wall, its thin black threads suddenly expanding and spreading.

laugh--

The black mist instantly spread out, covering hundreds of meters, blocking everyone's vision, perception, and star power.

This is purely a defensive archery technique!

The effeminate man and his companions were immediately shocked and enraged.

Tantai Mingze actually abandoned them and ran away!

In order to buy time, they even surrounded themselves and the young man who could control sword energy.

Wait, controlling sword energy?

A flash of insight struck the effeminate man; he finally realized what information he had missed.

External release of qi—

This is an 11-star realm super-tier martial artist!

The effeminate man was terrified and screamed in a shrill, distorted voice, "Run! He's from the Storm Realm—"

Unexpectedly, when he uttered those words, the extremely terrifying being turned its gaze to him and cast an approving look.

"You can live now."

Upon hearing this, the effeminate man stared blankly at the young man, who seemed to have a golden pointer flashing in his eyes.

Is it just an illusion?

of course not!

[Time Domain - Slow]!

When this secret phrase rang in his mind, everything within a kilometer radius of Lu Ze... the flow of time suddenly dropped to a quarter!

At this moment, all the movements appeared to Lu Ze in slow motion.

The sounds emitted by those people seemed to be switched to 0.25x speed playback, becoming low and drawn out.

Unaffected by the flow of time, two streaks of mortal sword energy gracefully arced overhead. One sword energy pierced through the black mist and shot into the distance, while the other circled Lu Ze rapidly.

Puff puff.

Aside from the effeminate man, the four people were moving slowly when a red line, as fast as a ghost, pierced through their hearts.

The slowed flow of time caused their physiological functions to slow down as well. They only saw a flash of red light in their field of vision and did not feel anything amiss.

……

A hundred meters away, Tantai Mingze, who was fleeing into the air without looking back, suddenly felt an immense sense of crisis.

But when he looked down, he saw a red streak rushing forward, like the red taillights left by a biker gang for pedestrians.

So, what is that?

Why are you in such a hurry to move forward?

While still thinking... he suddenly felt a suffocating sensation, like the feeling of not having enough oxygen.

That's not right. A martial artist who has advanced to the 10th Star Realm Gale level can hold their breath underwater for several days and nights with the powerful internal circulation of Star Source Cells, so how could they suffocate?

In the midst of this "slow" thought process, his gaze, propelled by inertia, finally reached his chest cavity.

There is a hole the size of a bowl in my chest area...

He even saw the blood about to gush out.

So, this is me?

A strong feeling of dizziness washed over Tantai Mingze.

In the entire battlefield, the only conscious enemy at this moment was the effeminate man. In his eyes, the young man who easily walked out of the Crimson Killing Light Array only said one sentence to him before putting his hands behind his back and raising his head, as if he had not seen the crowd preparing to scatter and escape at all.

But strangely enough, for those few seconds, everything around was unusually quiet.

He wanted to turn around and look, but under Lu Ze's gaze, he didn't dare to take a single step.

The time he spent waiting for death to come felt like an eternity!

Suddenly, he saw the young man raise his right hand.

Although it still carried immense intimidation, at this moment the effeminate man felt the pressure on his body ease.

It finally moved... although the movement of raising its hand wasn't very coordinated, and it was a bit too fast.

Snapped!

Lu Ze snapped his fingers lightly.

Time recovery!

The slowed-down area returned to normal.

Then, at that moment, all the sounds clearly entered the effeminate man's ears.

Puff puff.

That's the sound of a human body being pierced...

The effeminate man felt his hair stand on end. He turned around abruptly and witnessed a scene he would never forget.

Apart from the dead Old Zhong, the remaining four people who fled in different directions all had their chests explode at the same time, and their blood gushed into the sky like fountains.

The four teammates didn't even have time to make a sound before they turned into four corpses and fell onto the grass.

This scene has a huge impact on existing perceptions.

The effeminate man's brain felt as if it had been struck with a hammer; for a moment, he could only open his mouth but could not utter a sound.

What exactly happened?

His effeminate face was contorted in agony, large beads of sweat trickled down his cheeks and into his collar, his back was soaked with cold sweat, and he muttered to himself as if in a daze:

"Just one realm away... how come we don't even have a chance to fight back?"

A War King who had already reached the 10-star level had all his fighting spirit shattered silently.

"Only one realm away?"

A calm voice sounded beside me.

The effeminate man jolted awake and looked up abruptly, only to be astonished to see a red light returning to Lu Ze's side from afar, transforming into swirling sword energy.

The black mist that filled the field of vision ignited into countless sparks as the sword energy pierced through it in the opposite direction, and then silently faded away.

100 meters away...

A figure stood on the lawn, staggered a couple of steps, and collapsed to the ground.

That blue cloak clearly belongs to Tantai Mingze, who should have escaped!

Tantai Mingze, whose combat strength ranks among the top ten in the family and whose ability to ambush and kill is among the top three, died mysteriously at Luofeng Mountain.

The effeminate man is on the verge of collapse.

Lu Ze's indifferent eyes were as cold as a god's, gazing at the clear blue sky in the distance.

"How dare a mere grain of sand speak of the stars?"

The effeminate man stiffened. He detected disdain and detached arrogance in those plain words.

His cheek muscles twitched as he looked up at Lu Ze.

"Who...who are you?"

The tone was different from the politeness of the cultivation world on Earth; it truly carried the tone of an ancient person. Perhaps this was the true face revealed after the mind's defenses were broken.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze's lips curled into a smile.

"A person who is willing to light a torch in the darkness is usually called a torchbearer."

"The Fire Bearer? I'll remember that." The effeminate man chewed on the word, a sharp glint flashing deep in his eyes.

He looked up and forced a slightly ingratiating smile onto his face.

"Lord Firebearer, since you have spared my life, I will tell you everything I know."

No, you don't need to remember.

Um?

The effeminate man was taken aback, but when he heard Lu Ze's next words and saw the needle-like red light flickering in the other's palm, his expression instantly turned ugly, and he retreated without looking back.

"What can a fool remember?"

Lu Ze pulled back, and four streaks of mortal sword energy appeared out of thin air in front of him, instantly piercing the effeminate man's limbs and knocking him back from his charge.

The effeminate man's voice, which had been screaming for mercy in terror, abruptly stopped.

His head landed precisely in Lu Ze's outstretched fingers, and the fine, needle-like qi in Lu Ze's palm pierced into his brain.

The effeminate man straightened up, his whole body convulsed, and his eyes fell into a strange blankness.

This skill didn't originate from the Mortal World Sword Technique, but rather was a minor technique learned from a race in the Tenth Realm that was extremely adept at mental attacks and torture.

—【Heart-piercing torture】.

A person stabbed in the brain becomes like someone who has taken truth serum, speaking freely and without reservation.

The consequences are simple: if the torture lasts a short time, the victim might recover, but if it lasts a long time, they will only end up as an idiot.

Lu Ze always thought this was a useless skill. After all, if the person being interrogated had strong enough mental strength, they would not only not reveal the truth, but would also weave an unverifiable "truth".

There are too many races in the starry sky, and no one dares to say for sure whether the other side has any hidden cards up its sleeve.

So even after learning it in his previous life, Lu Ze didn't use it much.

But now it's different; it's perfect for this guy.

Lu Ze held the effeminate man's head and calmly asked, "Where is this hillside?"

The effeminate man's eyes were lifeless, and his body twitched occasionally, but his voice was very steady: "Fallen Phoenix Mountain."

What is the name of this land?

"Kihara Riku".

"How many people are there?"

"Over 30 million... the exact amount... is unclear."

"What is your position in the Tantai family?"

"Tantai Wuwei...Golden Guard".

When did your family arrive here?

"There's nothing here..."

"Hmm, to put it another way, when did you arrive on this land?"

"According to the ancestral records of the Tang Dynasty, it was the 17th year of the Zhenguan era."
