I'm not just human!

As the six-lobed bodies of the two bronze cleaners simultaneously revealed celestial rifts, the giant lion raised its massive claws and swung them down with a sudden thud.

With this swing, chaotic electric threads and a storm of rust flashed across the giant claw, accompanied by a blazing and dazzling holy light and a fleeting mysterious silver light. In the end, all of it turned into "power," a "power" that the giant lion seemed to be born with the ability to control!

An indescribable, terrifying force, capable of easily destroying planets, swept across the six-lobed bodies of the two Bronze Cleaners. The immense force shattered the void itself, even annihilating the shattered void, leaving only a chaotic, pitch-black nothingness.

This is "power," the ultimate "power"!

Faced with ultimate "power," no law, ability, or means can withstand it; they will all be crushed!

Needless to say, the two bronze cleaners were first directly shattered into pieces of flesh, which were then immediately shattered into atoms. Finally, these atoms turned into nothingness along with the void.

The Lion of Turmoil and Conflict, which Xia Fa had transformed into, retracted its giant claws with satisfaction.

beep--!

beep--!

Just then, two bronze beams of light, like pursuing beacons, suddenly shot out from where the two bronze cleaners had disappeared, heading straight for the cosmic sky.

"what?"

Xia Fa suddenly realized that he was now starting to understand the bronze pursuit beacon, which he had been completely unable to deal with when he was in the Land of Stagnant Time.

He opened his mouth and spat out a transparent stream of turbulent water. This transparent stream simply rolled upwards and immediately entangled the two bronze pillars of light.

The two bronze pursuit beacons seemed to have lost their direction and immediately began to hover in place. Then, they actually began to cancel each other out with the transparent turbulence.

"As expected, extraordinary power can neutralize the bronze pursuit beacon. However, how to stop and catch up with it is a problem. Fortunately, I have 'Conditions Eternal'..."

Seeing that the two bronze pursuit beacons were quickly neutralized, Xia Fa suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and under his left armpit.

The stinging sensation was so distinct, like having a piece of rusty, irregular iron inserted into your skin.

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly, and with just a slight exertion of his muscles, he squeezed out the two "iron plates".

These are the marks of two bronze cleaners.

The last time a Bronze Cleaner was killed was in the Critical Strike Maze, and the time before that was in the Old Forge. In the Critical Strike Maze, the Cleaners' pursuit beacons and Cleaner marks could be directly negated. In the Old Forge, however, three Bronze Cleaners tricked him, which attracted the Silver Cleaners and resulted in the sacrifice of Pope Nidhogg.

Now, having killed a Bronze Cleanser in the real world for the first time, Xia Fa was initially worried about not being able to find the Bronze Cleanser's mark that had been implanted. But now it seems there's no need to worry.

Thinking about it carefully, I'm now a god, and my strength is completely different from when I only signed four overlord-level secret contracts in the Land of Time Stagnation. Back then, I didn't even know when the Bronze Cleanser mark was planted on me.

With a casual squeeze, the two bronze Cleaner's Marks shattered. Xia Fa, still not entirely at ease, wrapped them in "Destruction Silver" to ensure they were completely destroyed and removed before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Who exactly are you? You learned critical second-order loss of control from a mere god. And why are you able to remain unharmed in the real world without causing uncontrolled pollution?"

Just then, a chilling voice rang out.

Xia Fa turned his head and saw that the phantom of the [Shepherd Elf], whose body was covered with iron rings, appeared directly behind him.

"I am a member of the Starry Sky Lion Clan, so what?"

Xiafa maintained the form of a giant lion, his voice booming and seemingly quite calm.

The phantom of the [Star Shepherd Elf] looked Xia Fa, who had transformed into a giant star lion, up and down, its eyes filled with disbelief:

"The Starry Sky Lion Clan? I've heard of Starry Sky Dragons, but what are Starry Sky Lions?"

The "Lion of Turmoil and Strife," transformed from Xia Fa, slightly raised its forequarters, its paws crossed, exuding the majesty of a lion king, and spoke softly:

"Never heard of it? That means you're ignorant. Besides, I have no interest in talking to the cleaners' dogs."

The phantom of the [Shepherd Elf] raised its eyebrows, as if its sore spot had been touched:

"Boy, you're nothing but a follower of a god. Killing you is no different than killing an ant for me."

Xia Fa was about to speak, but suddenly seemed to sense something, and calmly said without showing any emotion:

"Oh, really?"

At that very moment, the nearby cosmos began to tremble violently.

Countless phantom images of planets and meteorites suddenly appeared around Xia Fa.

The phantom images of these planets and meteorites kept appearing and overlapping, and in an instant, they seemed to transform into a huge cage, densely surrounding and enveloping him.

The majesty of the Outer God descended from the sky, pressing down on Xia Fa, making his chest feel tight and unable to breathe.

And the cage formed by these planets and meteorites began to squeeze inward, as if it would completely crush him as it closed in.

"This……"

This was the first time that Xia Fa had officially encountered an Outer God attacking him, not counting the time when the Web Crawler was disguised as the Crimson Demon Tree.

Moreover, this time, it was completely different from the time with the [Web Crawler]. He didn't even see how the [Star Shepherd Elf] made its move before he was suddenly enveloped by countless planets and meteorites.

"Shepherd Spirit... Shepherd Spirit... So this is what His name means?"

Muttering to himself, Xia Fa remained completely calm.

Because he had a real feeling that this [Star Shepherd Elf]... seemed to be just an ordinary Outer God.

In other words, no additional hegemonic secret covenants were signed, nor were any additional outer gods absorbed or accommodated as eternal credentials.

Perhaps He signed a few ordinary and advanced secret contracts, but at the level of an Outer God, these are only minor differences and can be completely ignored.

Since that's the case...

Whoosh—!

Countless mercury vapors surged out of Xiafa's body in that instant, instantly engulfing the small planetary meteorite cage.

Within the mercury vapor, faint starlight could be seen, swirling eddies surged, thunder roared, holy light flashed, storms gathered, and the phantoms of giant elephants, lions, and divine birds rose and appeared within.

The next moment, all the mercury vapor gathered in the center, and a near-perfect platinum-gold metallic humanoid figure was revealed.

Unlike last time, this platinum-gold metal humanoid's legs have become as strong and powerful as elephant legs, and it has a mane around its neck. It also has six golden wings on its back, which are engraved with sacred and supreme sun patterns.

"Success on the first try?"

Since he was facing only ordinary Outer Gods, not peak Outer Gods like the Silver Cleaners or the Web Crawler, Xia Fa became bolder and attempted for the first time to fuse the forms of the Immortal Creation Colossus, the Six-Winged Sun Bird, the Lion of Turmoil and Strife with the "Chaos Saint Venus Silver Throne".

Surprisingly, it worked on the very first try!

"you……"

[Shepherd Elf] naturally saw Xiafa's new form clearly as well, and her tone was filled with uncontrollable surprise, as if she had just seen something amazing:

"I've lived for nearly six thousand years, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone like you. Kid, you really can't be allowed to live!"

As soon as He finished speaking, the planetary meteorite cage suddenly accelerated and frantically converged inward!

"Oh, really?"

Xiafa spoke softly, and a heavy, viscous pale golden hue began to cover his head, hands, wings, mane, and legs.

With a slight tremor of his arms, his hands suddenly extended, transforming from platinum gold to jet black, becoming two horse-slaying swords.

These two horse-slaying swords were extremely large, more than twice the size of his body.

A golden glint flashed in Xia Fa's dark eyes. He bulged his arm muscles to gather strength, crossed his two sabers, and swung them forward with a sudden motion!

In that instant, 99% of the divine power within his body was drained, and even his spiritual power was almost completely drained, all of which was poured into the Zhanmadao (horse-slaying sword).

An extremely dense dark light suddenly emanated from the blades of the two horse-slaying swords, and then burst forth!

The two streaks of dark light, once separated from the blade, merged into a single jet-black blade of light, carrying an overwhelming aura capable of cleaving through anything. In an instant, it shattered the planetary meteorite cage, plunged directly into the void, and headed straight for the Star Spirit Realm.

"what!!!!!"

A furious scream rang out. Xia Fa's spiritual intuition clearly sensed that the dark blade of light had directly found the [Star Shepherd Elf] in the Star Spirit Realm and severed one of its arms!

Moreover, this is not a simple cut; it is a cut that carries the continuous damage effect of the [Ancient Treasure: Rhine Dawn Blade Armor] itself!

This is an ancient artifact personally crafted by the Great Old One [Rhine Calamity]. Its continuous destructive effect is something even a wounded True God cannot withstand, let alone an Outer God.

"This...this is at least an ancient treasure! You, who exactly are you..."

The exasperated voice of the Star Shepherd Elf rang out, and at the same time, the planetary meteorite cage shattered automatically.

Xia Fa maintained his transformed form, trying his best to appear calm.

Who I am is none of your business. All I know is—

In reality, this was almost his all-out attack in his current state. Except for not draining the burning sensation from his first and second hearts, he used everything he could.

Seeing his remarkable achievements, Xia Fa naturally chose to persevere, even though his divine power and spiritual power were almost exhausted.

"what?"

Seeing that Xia Fa stopped halfway through his sentence, the [Shepherd Spirit] instinctively asked a question in return. Although it was a question, Xia Fa could feel that His aura was starting to drift further and further away in the Star Spirit Realm.

Clearly, He wasn't stupid. While communicating with me, He had prepared a deadly method that resembled a planetary meteorite cage. Seeing that it had been broken and had one of His arms severed, He immediately chose to flee.

In fact, if the [Shepherd Star Elf] were to turn the tables and attack again, I, in my current weakened state, would not be able to withstand it.

But the unknown is often the most terrifying. The Star Shepherd was unsure of its own strength and had suffered a serious injury, so it naturally could not test the waters again and chose to flee.

However, just as the aura of the [Shepherd Star Elf] had run a short distance, it suddenly stopped.

Although Xia Fa was in the real world, as a god, he could naturally sense the situation in the nearby Celestial Realm.

At that moment, he could see clearly that the [Star Shepherd Elf] was surrounded by a Philosopher's Attendant, a Dense Star Cluster, and a Treant.

And all three of them are Outer Gods.

That treant was someone I'd met once before; it was the Crimson Demon Tree.

"Now you know what I'm trying to say, Brother [Crimson Demon Tree], and the other two lords, I'll leave it to you."

Xia Fa conveyed a profound spiritual intuition, and his figure immediately disappeared into the void.

Just now, he received a message from the philosopher attendant through his spiritual intuition, instructing him to do everything he could to stall this [Star Shepherd Elf].

He was originally prepared to make a move, otherwise he would have been crushed to death by the meteorite cage on that planet. Seeing this, he chose to go all out.

The Star Shepherd Elf couldn't sense the arrival of three Outer Gods. After all, with the Philosopher's Attendant present, these kinds of known beings seemed to be very adept at concealing their presence and interfering with information.

Screams immediately rang out. The Crimson Demon Tree was a peak Outer God, and the other two known beings were not simple either. Dealing with an ordinary Outer God who was missing an arm was naturally a piece of cake.

While remaining hidden in the real world, Xia Fa immediately took out a bottle of iced strawberry wine given to him by Gastis the Great Axe and gulped it down.

The cool, sweet liquor, carrying the refreshing aroma of strawberries, slid down the esophagus into the stomach, bringing Xia Fa an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Huh? This iced strawberry wine can restore mental energy?"

Xia Fa was overjoyed to find that the depleted divine power and spiritual power within his body were actually recovering together, and quickly recovered to about 90%.
