I'm not just human!

[Brief Reality] His face regained that all-controlling, ambiguous smile, and he said softly:

"Don't worry, my nephews and nieces, not only will you not be able to self-destruct, but I will also stop you from trying to send any messages out. On the contrary, the fact that you are trapped will soon be 'accidentally' known to those in the City of Gold Pounds, and they will definitely come to rescue you without delay."

[Brief Reality] As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Fa again and said jokingly:

"They all chose to self-destruct to avoid dragging down the true gods, but you didn't. What were you thinking?"

Xia Fa appeared calm and composed.

"What do I think? Of course there's a way."

Upon hearing Xia Fa suddenly say that he had a solution, the children of the righteous god, who had been completely desperate, all brightened up and looked at Xia Fa's back.

[Brief Reality] also seemed to have suddenly sparked interest:

"Oh? What's the method? Tell me—"

puff!

Two heavy, black swords suddenly pierced through [Brief Reality]'s chest from behind, lifting Him high into the air.

Shafana's tall figure, enveloped in chaotic lightning, appeared ghost-like behind [Brief Reality] and launched such a ferocious attack!

Moreover, [Brief Reality] didn't notice at all, and wasn't even on guard!

Chi!

With a single slash of his arms, which resembled a horse-slaying blade, Xia Fa tore the [Brief Reality] in two. With another tremor of his arms, the two halves of the [Brief Reality] were shattered.

Unexpectedly, there was no scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. The shattered bodies turned into bubbles and broke apart in the Star Spirit Starry Sky.

"That old schemer, he's using his created real-world clones to deal with us again..."

Xia Fa wasn't surprised at all; given the nature of "Short-Term Reality," it would be strange if he appeared in his true form.

But he had to act, because as long as the [Temporary Reality] was there, both the main body and the physical clone would firmly suppress the children of the true god, rendering them unable to move.

And once the real-world counterpart of [Temporary Reality] is defeated, it means... the opportunity to send the children of the true god to escape has arrived!

"You guys go quickly, don't worry about me, I'll kill that Silver Cleaner and then leave!"

With a roar, Xia Fa waved his hand, and countless starlight spread out, enveloping all the children of the righteous gods.

A pressure far more powerful than that of an ordinary god erupted from his body.

It was an oppressive force, like the heavens and earth turning upside down, mountains roaring and seas surging. The feeling it gave the children of the true god was no less than that of the second-best true god, the Paradox Clown!

In that instant, it was as if a giant wave surged in their hearts. Everyone looked at Xia Fa in disbelief, unable to imagine how he possessed such strength.

Fortunately, the shock was only momentary. The children of the true god reacted quickly. With the help of [Flame Princess], she once again unleashed flames of the color of the void, which, combined with the starlight of Xia Fa, which possessed unparalleled divine power, enveloped everyone once more.

[Flame Princess] also flung a flame of the color of the void towards Xia Fa, wanting him to escape as well, but Xia Fa shattered it with a wave of his hand.

Om-!

The next moment, the figures of the righteous children present suddenly blurred and disappeared from the spot.

"you dare!!"

Suddenly, Xia Fa let out a roar and charged towards a place more than 50 million light-years away. He arrived in an instant, wielding the combined horse-slaying sword in both hands, and slashed down with extreme ferocity.

With a soft "poof," a hand slightly stained with paint rose into the air, and the figure of [Brief Reality] appeared in front of Xia Fa.

The hand of [Brief Reality] was just about to press on a certain coordinate in the starry sky, which was exactly where the children of the true gods had appeared!

If it weren't for Xia Fa's intervention, they would have been completely crushed by the [Brief Reality] in the void turbulence.

"Ah……"

A cold laugh rang out, and in the Star Spirit Starry Sky, a huge figure with an extremely blurry form appeared, casually pressing down on a certain place.

Around this enormous figure, time and space seemed to be out of control. The divine realms and divine tombs in the surrounding area were decaying at an extremely rapid pace, yet they remained fixed in place, as if trapped in space.

This single feature was enough for Xia Fa to recognize who the visitor was.

[Distorted Rules]!

That false god who once replaced the [erroneous rules]!

As [Twisted Rules] pressed down with both hands, the children of the righteous gods, who were about to teleport away, fell out of the void one after another, all of them pale-faced. The weakest of them, [Dismemberment Giant Axe], even suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The "flash," empowered by the might of an outer god comparable to that of a true god, was suddenly interrupted, subjecting them to an extremely terrifying void turbulence. Had the children of true gods not been all celestial beings, they would likely have perished within it long ago.

Even so, it still made them quite uncomfortable.

"【Brief Reality】, you're no good either. You usually look down on us cleansing gods, and you almost let those little bastards get away."

[Distorted Rules] At this moment, a voice hummed from afar.

However, despite his sarcastic retort, He still swiftly flew towards the children of the true God.

The children of the true god exchanged glances. Seeing that they had been entangled by a false god and could no longer escape, they hardened their faces and prepared to join forces to fight back!

The dozen or so children of righteous gods present were all Heavenly Venerables, among them was the [Necessary Fist], whose strength had reached that of an old Heavenly Venerable. They could at least avoid defeat when fighting a pseudo-god with the strength of an ordinary righteous god!

The reason they didn't choose to self-destruct again was naturally because the terrifying strength that Xia Fa had just displayed gave them hope for survival!

If there's a chance to survive, then of course they wouldn't self-destruct.

Instantly, chaos erupted in the Star Spirit Sky. The children of the true gods unleashed their full power, each activating the fifth or even sixth level of critical loss of control, and engaged in a fierce battle with the [Twisted Rules].

Xia Fa glanced at it from afar and saw that the dozen or so children of the righteous gods were barely able to hold their own against the [Twisted Rules], and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Immediately, however, he adopted a half-smile, half-serious expression and turned to look at [Brief Reality].

That's right, his furious strike just now truly injured the physical body of [Brief Reality], and the perception transmitted by his spiritual intuition strongly confirmed this to him.

This also made Xia Fa realize that [Brief Reality] cannot infinitely create real-world clones with strength comparable to the original body. Just now, His real-world clone was unexpectedly destroyed by Him, and the children of the true gods were about to escape again. In desperation, He had no choice but to use His original body to take action, which gave Him the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

“Your methods… are very strange.”

[Brief Reality] His face was gloomy, and the smile that once held everything in his hands was gone. Although a large amount of fleshy buds were growing from the severed wrist, accompanied by the rich vitality transformed from the immense power of the righteous god, the severed hand still could not grow back.

Because, right where his wrist was severed, there were more than a dozen unusual and mysterious forces preventing his injuries from healing.

"You absorbed the [Eternal Secret]? No, that's not right... that method of completely concealing oneself just now..."

[Brief Reality] It seems like a questioning, but in reality it's a stalling tactic to find a way to deal with Xia Fa.

Xia Fa launched two consecutive attacks: one a sneak attack that destroyed His newly nurtured reality clone, and the other a strike that severed His hand. This made [Brief Reality] feel the danger, the same danger it once felt when facing [Paradox Joker]!

[Paradox Joker] can only be no match for [Absolute Defense]. If he were to face other true gods, he would truly possess the power to completely kill them!

Xia Fa remained calm and didn't continue attacking. Instead, he stood opposite the [brief reality] and smiled:

You can guess.

In fact, this was his newly acquired god-level mutation, the ability of "Secrets Unfathomable to All Spirits," which allowed him to become almost completely invisible. This invisibility was so powerful that even the third-tier god, "Brief Reality," could not detect it, demonstrating its terrifying nature.

In fact, this is because the [Secret of All Spirits] is a god-level mutation with a single enhancement path. In other words, this god-level mutation only has this one ability, but precisely because of this, it is extremely powerful.

Xia Fa even suspected that the "authority" corresponding to the [Secret of All Spirits] was likely a combination of "concealment," "invisibility," and "stealth," which was why its effect was so powerful.

In fact, even when he had previously sparred with his second brother, the Paradox Clown, and used the ability of the Secrets of All Spirits to test him, He had not noticed.

That's why Xia Fa was able to use it with confidence this time.

"You seem quite relaxed. You don't really think I'm the only one protecting Silver Judge, do you?"

[Brief Reality] Seeing that Xia Fa actually had the leisure to let Him guess, a strange light flashed in His eyes, and He responded.

Xia Fa seemed to immediately understand the meaning behind His words, and laughed:

"What, you want me to hesitate and not attack you?"

[The fleeting reality] remains undeniable:

"If you really want to fight, I can fight you. Even though you've broken through to the Outer God level, it doesn't necessarily mean you can kill me."

If the words "But it doesn't necessarily mean it can really kill me" were to reach the City of Gold Pounds, probably no one would believe them.

After all, under normal circumstances, He would probably only say that when facing [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker]!

Oh wait, when faced with [Absolute Defense], [Brief Reality] probably wouldn't dare say that either; it would only flee in disarray.

Because, at its peak, [Absolute Defense] could easily crush Him with a single blow, just like when it crushed [Rhine Calamity] before.

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa simply smiled calmly:

"Really? Then I'll have to give it a try."

As he spoke, he slightly lowered his stance and raised the saber in his hand.

Seeing that Xia Fa was actually going to make a move, [Brief Reality]'s expression changed slightly. But for some reason, He did not back down. With a flick of His arms, hundreds of paintbrushes flew out from His waist, surrounding Him like flying knives.

In an instant, these paintbrushes actually started to move on their own, beginning to draw various realities. Some tried to draw the reality of Xia Fa being killed, while others tried to draw the reality of Xia Fa being trapped... and so on.

However, without exception, Xia Fa easily blocked all these realities without needing any special methods. He only needed the vast and powerful outer god power within his body, which even erased the difference in rank.

The next moment, Xia Fa gripped the hilt of his knife tightly with both hands, his whole being exuding a sharp aura, as if he was about to make a move.

"You lowly insect, how dare you!!!!"

Just then, an extremely angry roar erupted from the gray mist of time.

This roar, accompanied by extremely powerful divine force, erupted from the gray mist of time in an instant, even forcibly interrupting the chaotic battle between the [Twisted Rules] and the children of the divine, plunging them into a state of dizziness.

[Brief Reality] Not far in front of them, the figure of "Xia Fa" slowly disappeared.

He seemed quite surprised, but the surprise was so obvious that it was as if he had expected it all along.

Not far outside the gray fog of time, in the seemingly empty void, Xia Fa's figure, enveloped in chaotic lightning, inexplicably appeared and slashed down with a sword!

It turns out he was just stalling for time with the [brief reality], while his true form had already activated the [Secret of All Spirits] and was searching everywhere for the hiding place of "Silver Judge"!

Bubble bubble bubble bubble!

The void, like layers of thin paper, shattered one after another under the blade, revealing what lay hidden deep within it—

It is none other than the Silver Cleaner "Silver Judge" who is about to successfully upgrade and break through!

Seeing that Xia Fa's extremely brutal strike was about to cleave Yin Cai in two, even though Yin Cai's aura began to rise infinitely and never fell back, it seemed that he could not withstand it.

At the same time, behind Xia Fa, it seemed as if mountains and seas were pressing down at the same time. Accompanied by the mountain-like lion king swinging its claws, the enormous elephant stepping down with its legs, and the six-winged sun bird circling the Zhanmadao with unparalleled acceleration.

A burst of golden light suddenly erupted, increasing the power of Xia Fa's attack tenfold!

At this moment, everyone—whether it was the [Brief Reality], the [Twisted Rules], or the children of the righteous gods like the [Necessary Fist] and [Flame Princess]—suddenly held their breath.
