Chapter 362 [Eternal Critical Strike]...Finally obtained!!!
The scene is currently extremely chaotic.
In the vast, seemingly endless maze-like hall, beneath the magnificent golden dome, only a dozen figures could be seen fighting together.
Above these figures, various kinds of "thunderclouds" appeared. Some were surrounded by golden lightning, looking magnificent and majestic, while others were blood-red, with a light drizzle of blood falling from them. Still others had turned into dark clouds, with flashes of light occasionally breaking out inside, brewing astonishing thunder.
As for their surroundings, various elemental currents intertwined, secret treasures and sealed artifacts flew about, and dazzling secret abilities collided with each other.
Countless mechanical creations, powerful Protoss, and flesh-and-blood monsters, accompanied by starlight that is sometimes dazzling and sometimes tranquil, along with thousands upon thousands of kingdom legions, are bombarding and clashing with each other, shattering and annihilating every moment, and being created and reborn every moment.
Xia Faren was stunned, but he didn't hesitate for a moment. As soon as he rushed out of the maze passage behind him, he immediately hid to the side.
He didn't care whether anyone noticed him or not, and immediately used [Eternal Secrecy] to completely conceal himself.
They went "secret".
Since [Eternal Secret] is considered a higher-level certificate of eternity, its use is equivalent to simultaneously including effects such as "invisibility," "psychological invisibility," "stealth," "psychological stealth," "disguise," and "psychological disguise."
In an instant, the burly man that Xia Fa had transformed into became completely transparent in the corner of the hall, as if he had been completely hidden in the air.
Just then, an unknown being, resembling a skinned lizard, crawled out of the passage, exuding an extremely majestic aura of an outer god, its scarlet tongue waving in the air.
"Um?"
It seemed to sense Xia Fa's presence immediately, turning its head to look at him, but a hint of disdain immediately appeared in its eyes. It then charged directly into the battle in the air above the hall, heading towards [Eternal Critical Strike].
Boom!
Not long after the skinned lizard-like unknown being stepped out of the maze passage, a heavy, black iron gate suddenly slammed down at the entrance, completely sealing off the passage.
Xia Fa was already sweating profusely. Just now, when the unknown being that looked like a skinned lizard turned to look at him, he truly felt the breath of death, and he couldn't even resist it.
Needless to say, if it hadn't looked down on me so much, and instead saw me as a potential threat in the competition for [Eternal Critical Strike], it would have attacked directly.
"As expected—the gap between me and the Outer Gods is still far too great—"
Xia Fa murmured to himself, forcing himself to calm down, and began to observe the maze hall to see if there was a better place to hide.
Now, the hope of winning the [Eternal Critical Strike] is becoming increasingly slim, but since he has already come all this way, and even successfully entered this maze hall, with the [Eternal Critical Strike] floating thousands of meters above his head, he certainly cannot give up.
However, he simply couldn't participate in the struggle between these extremely powerful outer gods. Even getting slightly closer, and being caught in the aftershocks of the battle, would likely result in severe injury or even instant annihilation.
"There are a total of thirty-two maze passages, and twenty-seven of them are already closed, which means there are only five maze passages left."
Xia Fa observed carefully, while secretly hiding behind an ancient Greek column.
After thinking it over, he felt it wasn't safe, so he simply transformed his body into a "pure white, blazing holy sun" and entered the circular pillar.
Although the pillars in this hall were also reinforced by [Eternal Critical Strike], it was only a reinforcement and did not completely change their shape. As a result, the stone of the pillars was still stone, and there were still gaps between calcium and silicon atoms in the stone.
After entering the mutated form of "Pure White Incandescent Holy Sun", his body was essentially composed of pure photons, making it incredibly easy for him to hide in the gaps between calcium and silicon atoms.
"call----"
Slightly relieved, Xia Fa felt that he was relatively safe for the time being, unless the aftershocks of the battle between the two Outer Gods suddenly shattered the round pillar in the corner of the hall.
boom!
Just then, another black iron gate closed at the exit of the maze passage not far away.
Xia Fa focused his attention and was startled.
"It was Him?"
Emerging from the maze-like passage was none other than the chef-like deity "Sochuwu Kongjian" whom they had encountered before.
The inventor of the black bag!
"This guy's pretty lucky, he actually managed to get here—"
Since Suochuwu Kongjian was only a god, the level of danger he was about to encounter was basically the same as the level of danger Xiafa would encounter, so Xiafa decided to keep an eye on him for a while.
Unexpectedly, Suo Chu Wu Kong Jian's figure flickered and he disappeared in an instant.
Xia Fa was almost stunned. He quickly used his spiritual intuition to investigate and found that he could not find Suo Chu Wu Kong Jian's chubby figure.
He immediately withdrew his spiritual intuition and continued to observe with his eyes.
In this arena where the Outer Gods are battling, any spiritual intuition that is released even for a short time risks being corrupted and out of control. It may even prevent one from getting close to the Outer Gods, as it would be directly shattered, causing severe damage to one's mind.
"Did He use—the effect of some kind of secret treasure or sealing artifact?"
After some thought, Xia Fa chose to use the authority of [Eternal Secret]. Although he could only use less than 30% of it, since he had discovered Wu Kongjian's means of disappearance, and he was within the scope of the secret authority or a subordinate secret authority, he should be able to find him.
He immediately discovered the location of Suochuwu Kongjian, which turned out to be an oil painting in the maze hall.
The oil painting depicts an elegant woman in a sky-blue dress sitting in a mahogany chair, resting her chin on her hand, with a melancholy look in her eyes. On the sofa next to her, several men with white curly hair are discussing something.
Xia Fa could see clearly that Suo Chuwu Kongjian had become one of the men with white curly hair in the oil painting, and looked exactly like himself.
"How did He get in?"
Xia Fa was stunned. Although this should be some kind of disguise, being in a "hidden" subordinate position of power, he really couldn't figure out how it was done.
Hidden within an existing oil painting in the labyrinth's main hall, it even transformed into one of the figures in the painting —
It can only be said that it truly deserves to be called a god, and can be considered a "deity". Although it is only the lowest in rank among the gods, it does possess many abilities that humans cannot achieve.
"By the way, where are the cleaners?"
Xia Fa suddenly realized this. At this moment, the battle under the dome of the hall was a fierce battle between Outer Gods or unknown beings of Outer God status, and the Cleaners were nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that there were too many Outer Gods participating in the competition for [Eternal Strike] this time, causing the Silver Cleaner named "Silver Axe" to become timid and choose to leave?
After all, there is an Outer God here who dares to confront it head-on, the Undying Mummy. Both are at the peak of Outer God strength. In addition, there are more than a dozen other Outer Gods who hate the Cleaners. The Silver Cleaner alone probably can't withstand it.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.
The sound emanated from the remaining few unclosed maze passages, as dense as war drums, instantly adding an extremely somber atmosphere to the maze hall, as if it had transformed the hall into a battlefield.
An Outer God stumbled and ran wildly out of a passage, running blindly in a panic.
It was an Outer God dressed as a magician. Xia Fa still remembered him quite well. He was holding a broken, curved cane, his tailcoat was tattered, he was covered in blood, and his expression was extremely terrified.
He seemed to be hiding from something.
boom!!!
A terrifying silver figure, traveling at cosmic speed that even Xia Fa couldn't react to, suddenly burst out of the passage that resembled the magician's god!
With a soft thud, a large silver axe pierced through the back of the magician Outer God, exiting from his chest and lifting him high into the air.
It was the Silver Cleanser that was about to kill an Outer God with a single strike!
The magician god struggled desperately, his body seemingly disintegrating into countless leaves in an attempt to escape. But just as he showed signs of disintegration, he seemed to encounter some great obstacle and coalesced again.
And so, like a stuck malfunction, He repeated the process of disintegration and reassembly. Finally, after only a few seconds, His whole body deflated like a punctured balloon, and His head and limbs drooped down at the same time.
He is completely dead.
Just then, the other bronze cleaners rushed out from their respective passages.
They seemed to have deliberately chosen to go one after the other to avoid a possible deadly battle, and a full twenty Bronze Cleaners successfully made it to the maze hall.
Without the Silver Cleaner giving any orders, the twenty Bronze Cleaners immediately gathered behind it.
They simultaneously raised their bronze lances, and the ancient engravings on the lances suddenly lit up, as if a strange power was flowing through them.
"Good, very good, you truly are my brothers."
Silver Cleaner nodded in satisfaction and raised the silver axe in his hand.
The bronze lance and the silver lance immediately began to resonate with each other, and an astonishing aura was brewing. The silver cleaner, who was already at the peak of the Outer God realm, actually showed a tendency to take another step forward!
Although this wouldn't make him a quasi-Celestial Venerable, much less a Celestial Venerable, if things continued this way, even the Outer Gods present wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Damn it, we have to kill these cleaners first! Let's go!"
The Immortal Mummy joined the battle as soon as it arrived at the labyrinth hall. Sitting on the magnificent golden coffin inlaid with jewels, its body wrapped in bandages, it was able to fight against two Outer Gods at the same time.
In fact, he was the Outer God who came closest to the [Eternal Critical Strike], but he was always stopped by an Outer Goddess holding a parasol and an unknown entity that looked like a giant transparent bubble.
Now, seeing these Cleaners suddenly appear and form some terrifying battle formation, the Outer Gods all stopped fighting and turned to the Cleaners with a roar from the [Undying Mummy].
Since entering the labyrinth hall, this was the first time Xia Fa had seen the Outer Gods so united and working together against a common enemy. For some reason, he also had the idea of joining in and fighting the Cleaners together.
But he understood that, at least for now, that was impossible.
With the Silver Cleaner's current strength approaching the "Quasi-Celestial Venerable" level, let alone getting close, even if I stayed hidden in this pillar, I might still be accidentally swept away and perish.
In the maze hall, all the passages and exits have been closed, meaning that no other contenders will be able to enter.
Just as Xia Fa had thought, apart from himself and Suo Chuwu Kongjian, who were of divine strength, the only beings who could enter this maze hall were those of outer god status.
In the next instant, before any of the outer gods could react, the silver cleaner seemed to have completed some kind of ritual and put down the silver axe in its hand.
"You lowly supernatural insects, do you think a dozen or so of you can stop me?"
Silver Cleaner Silver Axe's eyes were cold, but his words were anything but polite.
Strangely, when it said this, the twenty bronze cleaners behind it actually made the same gesture of speaking, but without making any sound.
This was a rather eerie scene. The living bronze cleaners seemed to have been turned into puppets or dolls, with an indescribable strangeness that made Xia Fa feel a chill down his spine.
He had previously thought that while it was impossible to say who was righteous and who was evil between the supernatural beings and the Cleaners, the supernatural beings were at least somewhat strange in appearance.
But now it seems that these cleaners, if they really want to be evil, are extremely evil.
Silver Cleaner Silver continued his verbal sparring, saying, "Perfect, I'll wipe you all out in one fell swoop, saving me the trouble of playing hide-and-seek with you in the Protoss Realm every day."
It was the [Immortal Mummy] who stepped forward, his expression calm: "Why are you so sure that we didn't ambush you?"
The Silver Cleaner remained indifferent and unmoved: "Can an ambush set up by wild dogs against a lion really be considered an ambush?"
boom-!
It suddenly charged out with extreme ferocity, raising its silver axe high and unleashing a supreme killing technique only the Cleaners possessed. In an instant, it gathered an astonishing aura and slammed it down on the [Immortal Mummy]!
The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king," and the Silver Cleaner clearly understood this principle, directly choosing to attack the strongest among them, the [Immortal Mummy].
The moment it charged forward, the twenty bronze cleaners behind it also raised their bronze lances in unison and slammed them down, but their movements were stiff and awkward, making them look like puppets or dolls.
Even though they were only smashing into the void in front of them, the Silver Cleaner Silver Axe's attack was suddenly greatly enhanced!
The immortal mummy stood still, seemingly indifferent, yet also appearing terrified.
Swish!
A silver light slashed down from above His head, almost splitting Him in two.
But immediately, Yin Yue put away the silver weapon in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Suddenly, the "Immortal Mummy" disintegrated, turning into countless pieces of bandage and cloth that scattered and fell to the ground.
The next moment, not far behind Him, new bandages appeared out of thin air, intertwined with each other, and immediately formed a human shape.
Immediately afterwards, the bandaged humanoid opened its dark eyes.
"【Eternal Bandages】—Is this the origin of your name?"
Silver Cleaner murmured, his gaze growing even colder.
The immortal mummy took two steps back, seemingly too afraid to confront its power, until it retreated among the outer gods before replying, "So what if it is? Since you know my name, you should understand that I am not so easily killed."
"Is that so?"
Silver Cleaner Yin replied with two words, his figure once again transforming into silver lightning, leading twenty Bronze Cleaners to charge out suddenly!
The speed was so fast that even Xia Fa couldn't see it clearly. In just a moment, Yin Yue held the great axe horizontally and attacked the [Undying Mummy] again with the force of a fierce charge!
The Immortal Mummy was clearly not as relaxed as He appeared; He dodged to the left without hesitation.
But at that moment, the Silver Cleaner, Silver Axe, suddenly swung to the left, taking advantage of the momentum of the charge of the great axe in his hand!
His target was no longer the "immortal mummy," but the giant, transparent bubble with eyes beside him!
Snapped!
Although the giant transparent bubble was an unknown entity of the Outer God level, it was clearly no match for the power of this axe. Its bubble-like body was first squeezed and bent to the extreme by the silver axe, like a cashew, and then it suddenly exploded.
Even Xia Fa, hidden inside the circular pillar, could clearly feel that the aura of this unknown being, like a transparent bubble, had vanished completely.
Without a doubt, it died, just like that magician-like Outer God, directly killed by the Silver Cleanser's axe.
An Outer God, just like that, died so easily.
In the eyes of the gods of the Star Spirit Realm, this would have been absolutely impossible in the past, unless the Nine Great Gods or the Celestial Venerables intervened.
But now, this transparent, bubble-like Outer God is indeed dead.
Xia Fa suddenly understood something. If it was true that if even beings of divine rank could not exert their powerful regenerative and healing abilities if they were stabbed in the head by the lances of the Bronze Cleansers, and their bodies and souls would be destroyed together, then the weapons of the Silver Cleansers, regardless of their style, should have the effect of destroying the soul and will of an Outer God after destroying his physical body!
In other words, it's no longer limited to hitting the head; destroying the physical body is sufficient!
Therefore, the magician-like Outer God and this transparent bubble perished.
A somber atmosphere permeated the labyrinthine hall; all the Outer Gods fell silent, and the hall was deathly still.
[The Immortal Mummy]'s gaze turned serious, finally showing a look of alarm: "As expected of the Cleaners who use the Great Axe as their weapon, each and every one of them is extraordinary. Other Silver Cleaners need to form a battle formation with three hundred Bronze Cleaners to achieve the strength that you can do with just twenty Bronze Cleaners."
Upon hearing this, Silver Yue, the Silver Cleaner, revealed a smug look in his eyes, but he did not relax his vigilance at all. He simply replied calmly, "Although we are both Silver Cleaners, they are naturally not worthy to be compared with me. However, if you want to beg for mercy in this way, you are being too shallow."
The Immortal Mummy almost laughed out of anger: "Who wants to beg for mercy from you? Only by killing a Silver Cleaner like you can I feel qualified to brag in front of the entities."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a heavily armored knight in a bright red cloak appeared behind Silver Axe, the Silver Cleaner, raising his greatsword high and slashing down fiercely!
At the same time, the unknown entity that resembled a skinned lizard suddenly poked its head out of the air above the Silver Cleaner, stretched its neck out abruptly, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down in one gulp!
Silver Axe seemed to have anticipated this, swinging his large silver axe horizontally in a circle, first forcing back the heavily armored knight, then rising upwards with the momentum, almost severing the skinned lizard's neck.
"Attack together!"
With a loud shout, the "Immortal Mummy" joined forces with more than a dozen Outer Gods and charged forward.
In the instant they pounced, almost all the Outer Gods—whether it was the noble lady holding the parasol, the heavily armored cavalryman in the red cloak, or even the skinned lizard—were covered with a heavy, viscous, dark golden hue.
This is—a critical second-stage runaway!!!
In that instant, Xia Fa, who had been silently watching the battlefield, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, and countless strange currents surged from his spine, almost spreading throughout his entire body.
Moreover, unlike before, this time, the strange current was being continuously consumed.
Although he could hold on for a while longer, Xia Fa knew that if he really ran out of energy, he wouldn't even have the right to look directly at these Outer Gods. Although he wouldn't lose control, his mind would definitely fall into a state of disorder and madness.
"Sure enough, the mental pressure of looking directly at one Outer God is completely different from looking directly at a dozen Outer Gods, not to mention that I was also watching the Outer Gods fight the Silver Cleaners—"
No matter how unwilling he was, Xia Fa had no choice but to look away.
In the end, it all comes down to my own weakness. If I were to become a god, I wouldn't have this worry.
Fortunately, although it was impossible to watch, the sounds of fighting and killing continued to come.
Moreover, Xia Fa cleverly chose to look up every ten seconds or so, which minimized the consumption of the strange electric current and also ensured that he was not completely oblivious to the situation on the battlefield.
Every ten seconds or so, he saw a silver-ranked cleaner named "Silver Axe" leading twenty bronze-ranked cleaners, launching several fierce attacks on the external gods.
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves, as dense as war drums, echoed incessantly in the air, never ceasing. Meanwhile, the auras of the Outer Gods grew weaker and weaker, and every so often, the aura of one Outer God would be lost.
Without a doubt, that means this Outer God has perished.
"Could it be that even a dozen Outer Gods combined couldn't defeat this guy named Yin Yue?"
Xia Fa's heart sank, because the Critical Strike Maze was locked, and even if the Cleaners won, they wouldn't be in a hurry to take the [Eternal Critical Strike].
In other words, if they were to wipe out all the Outer Gods, they would definitely thoroughly inspect the battlefield.
At that time, I and Suochuwu Kongjian, who are hidden in the oil painting, will probably be found.
To escape the Critical Strike Maze, one can only wait for it to revert to a normal maze. The only way to break this is when the ownership of [Eternal Critical Strike] is definitively determined, which means one is essentially trapped in a dead end.
"Let me think—when I disguised myself as a physical glutton," the general public perception of me was that I was among the top three physical gluttons, roughly on par with bards and storytellers.
"And bards and storytellers are truly quasi-celestial beings."
"Back in Garlic City, the Entity of Illusions, who had allied with the Cleaners, summoned three Silver Cleaners, each leading three hundred Bronze Cleaners. They should have already formed a battle formation."
"So, in other words, a battle formation consisting of three Silver Cleaners each and three hundred Bronze Cleaners is enough to kill a Quasi-Celestial Venerable?"
"As for that fanatical tomb raider, he should be at the peak of the Outer God level, or even higher, but he was restrained by the Wall of Flesh and the House of Imagination, so he can be excluded from the calculation."
"So, if it's just a Silver Cleanser forming a battle formation, it's basically equivalent to a third of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable's strength?"
Having deduced this, Xia Fa felt somewhat relieved. After all, it would be too exaggerated if a dozen Outer Gods working together couldn't even defeat a third of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable.
On the other hand, he also realized that the gap between a Celestial Venerable and a Quasi-Celestial Venerable was probably enormous.
Therefore, when the three Silver Cleaners in Garlic City mistakenly believed that the "Glutton" he was impersonating was transforming into a Celestial, they immediately chose to retreat.
"The Cleaners—seemingly distinguished by their weapons; those with large weapons are indeed very different from those with other weapons—"
"Among the Gold Cleaners, are there any who wield a large axe?"
The Great Axe was originally used in ancient sacrifices and ceremonial regalia, holding an extremely high status among weapons. Xia Fa had previously made some guesses about this, and now it seems that the Cleaners who wield the Great Axe are indeed much stronger than other Cleaners of the same rank.
Moreover, the considerations are more far-reaching.
While other Silver Cleaners were still hunting down beings of godhood in the Protoss Realm, Silver Axe thought of preventing the Eternal Strike from being obtained by transcendent beings, and even brought a Mystic Emperor to fully activate the Eternal Strike.
Just as I was thinking this, suddenly, a furious roar came from above.
"Yin Yue, today I'll risk my life to make you die!!!"
Xia Fa looked up and was immediately startled.
Although we don't know exactly what happened, the Outer Gods present were either dead or wounded, leaving only the [Immortal Mummy] and the noble lady holding the parasol!
Meanwhile, the silver cleaner was approaching the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike] floating in the air, about to reach out and grab it.
The Undying Mummy knelt on the ground, cradling the skinned lizard-like unknown being in its arms, filled with extreme grief and indignation.
The skinned lizard was critically injured and on the verge of death; its divine aura had already begun to dissipate.
Even the [Immortal Mummy] itself was covered in broken bandages and could barely hold on.
Fortunately, Yin Yue was also seriously injured. His armor was covered in cracks, and the left half of his body was missing. As for his silver-armored warhorse, it was already dead and seemed to have been blasted to pieces.
Of the bronze cleaners behind it, only five remained; the rest had all perished without a trace.
Silver Yue didn't even glance at the [Undying Mummy], nor did it care about its own serious injuries. Just as it was about to reach out and grab the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike], it suddenly let out a "Huh".
It took a few steps back, raised the silver axe in its hand, and slammed it down powerfully on the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike]!
Click!
Around the smooth, mirror-like gold coin, a transparent sealing ritual array in the shape of a dodecahedron appeared, and cracks appeared as it was struck.
This is clearly a seal jointly set up by the Outer Gods, and it was most likely set up before they were about to take action against the Silver Cleansers.
It is estimated that only in this way can everyone unite as one.
Even as the strange electrical current covering his cerebral cortex was rapidly depleting, Xia Fa persisted in observing everything on the battlefield, because he knew that the moment of decisive victory was approaching.
Seeing that the Silver Cleaner had once again raised the extremely heavy axe in his hand, preparing to smash it into the dodecahedral sealing ritual array.
Suddenly, countless bandages appeared around it and wrapped around it.
With a loud "boom," eerie flames, a blend of black and gold, ignited on the bandage.
"Third attempt to escape control?!"
The Silver Cleaner's expression finally changed. With a swing of his silver axe, he severed the bandages.
The Undying Mummy gave it no chance to breathe, its body suddenly disintegrating into countless bandages, which directly wrapped around the Silver Cleaner and the remaining five Bronze Cleaners.
Xia Fa could see clearly that before this peak Outer God [Undying Mummy] pounced, its body was also engulfed in flames of interwoven black and gold. This caused Xiu's strength to briefly approach that of the Silver Cleaner Yin Yue, who was in battle formation!
"So this is the third critical loss of control—"
Perhaps because he had reached the critical second stage of loss of control, Xia Fa could see clearly that it was not some kind of eerie flame at all, but rather thousands of particles formed from black tentacles and golden eyes, which were dancing around the [Undying Mummy] and greatly enhancing its power!
Because the black tentacles and golden pupils are so small, only nanometers in diameter, they look like eerie flames burning and rising from a distance.
At the same time, Xia Fa also realized that the [Immortal Mummy] seemed to require taking a huge risk in order to truly use the critical three-stage loss of control.
Just before he was about to lose control and lunge at the Silver Cleaner, he was already close to a state of mental madness and physical loss of control.
Suddenly, the huge bandaged sphere shrank inward, followed by the sounds of armor shattering and bones breaking.
The next moment, the bandages fell away, revealing the cleaners crushed into a pulp, and beside them lay the [Immortal Mummy], barely alive.
Among the minced meat of the cleaners, only the upper half of the silver cleaner, Silver Axe, missing its left side, remained standing, leaning on the broken silver axe, its eyes wide open, as if it had died with its eyes open in disbelief.
The Immortal Mummy's eyes gleamed with the satisfaction of revenge as it turned to look at the equally dying, skinned lizard.
"【Web Crawler】—Looks like neither of us will get 【Eternal Critical Strike】, but it's a bargain for us."
"The Dream-Lost Fairy is gone."
【The Dream-Lost Fairy】is clearly referring to the outer goddess who looks like a noble lady, holding a parasol, wearing a sky-blue tutu, with smooth short golden hair and clear sky-blue eyes.
But on the baby-fat face with a few freckles, the Dream Fairy only showed a bitter smile, as if she could no longer hold on, closed her eyes, and fell straight to the ground.
She actually pushed herself to her limit.
The skinned lizard, its scarlet tongue lolling out, gasped for breath, unable to support itself no matter how hard it tried, its body nearly collapsing into the shape of a gold coin, a symbol of "Eternal Critical Strike."
Apart from these three Outer Gods, all other Outer Gods had long been killed by Silver Axe, the Silver Cleaner.
Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!
Suddenly, the terrifying sound of horses' hooves rang out.
From the left wall of the hall, a bronze cleaner rode out, carrying the mindless adventurer-like Mysterious Emperor.
It seemed to have arrived in the maze hall long ago, and had been lurking in the shadows, waiting.
Finally, the Outer Gods perished together, and the three peak Outer Gods, namely the Immortal Mummy, the Web-Weaving Crawler, and the Dreamless Fairy, were severely injured and powerless.
"It's a pity I'm not a Silver Cleanser, otherwise I should have taken advantage of your three critical injuries and killed you one by one."
The bronze cleaner murmured, his tone filled with extreme regret, then spurred his horse and charged forward, already standing in front of the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike].
It gathered strength in its right arm, and suddenly thrust out its bronze lance with tremendous force, piercing through the already shattered dodecahedral sealing ritual array in one fell swoop.
Just as it was holding the lifeless-eyed Mystic Emperor in its left hand, its right hand was about to grab the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike].
hour.
*Pfft*
A knife, a pure black horse-slaying sword, pierced through its back and instantly went through its chest.
boom!!!
The sword first condensed a layer of extremely refined silver light, which then exploded, blasting the bronze cleaner to pieces.
Immediately, behind the seemingly floating horse-slaying sword, a platinum-gold metallic humanoid figure slowly emerged from its concealment.
He clearly didn't possess any aura of an outer god, or even aura of a follower god, yet his entire body was covered in an extremely viscous and heavy dark golden hue, and his left arm had transformed into the blade of a horse-slaying sword, which was being pulled back.
The eyes of both the Immortal Mummy and the Web Crawler widened in surprise, wondering where this genius had come from.
They were both quite certain that this guy couldn't be an Outer God.
But if he wasn't an Outer God, how could he have reached the critical second stage of loss of control? And even ambushed and instantly killed a Bronze Cleaner?
This has the terrifying potential to become the tenth true god!
Who is this?
Without the slightest delay, the platinum-gold humanoid right hand reached out and grabbed the coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike]!
With a "whoosh," the critical strike maze began to shrink, instantly transforming into an ordinary maze about a thousand meters square, and then plummeted downwards.
Instantly, the once magnificent maze hall transformed into the empty sky above the City of Ten Thousand Stars, with blue skies and white clouds overhead and manors and villas of the City of Ten Thousand Stars below, with giant candies and oversized chicken legs vaguely visible on the streets.
"Kid, you really are an [immortal mummy]!" He glared at him, opened his mouth, and suddenly stopped breathing. His head lolled to the side, and he died.
He was already critically injured and on the verge of death. He had used the critical loss of control three times, completely exhausting his last bit of life force and perishing together with the Silver Cleaner, Silver Axe. Now, seeing that [Eternal Critical Strike] had finally found its home, and not with the Cleaner's camp, but with a terrifying genius with the potential to become the Tenth True God, he was relieved. The last breath he had been holding on to finally came out, and he died and vanished.
But at that moment, the Web-Weaving Crawler, which was also on the verge of death, the unknown being that looked like a skinned lizard, suddenly stood up.
boom!!!
Suddenly, it unleashed the aura of a peak Outer God, so powerful that it caused the void to tremble and begin to crack.
It was actually not injured at all! Its previous severe injuries and near-death experience seemed to have been a facade!
"Kid, leave behind [Eternal Critical Strike], and I'll give you a whole corpse. Otherwise, you'll suffer the most cruel torture in the world, I promise."
The web-weaving crawler licked its eyelid with its scarlet tongue, its tone chilling and leaving no room for negotiation.
Moreover, before Xia Fa could agree or refuse, it directly stretched out its large lizard claws and grabbed at Xia Fa's location!
Xia Fa had long anticipated a similar situation, but he hadn't expected that the Web Crawler would be so insidious and ruthless, even going so far as to feign serious injury to trick its best friend, the Undying Mummy, into losing control three times at the critical point, in order to completely eliminate the interference from the Silver Cleaner.
Just as the sharp claws of the Web Crawler reached out and suddenly became overwhelming, Xia Fa felt his astral body tremble for a moment, and his vision blurred as a similar scene appeared.
It was precisely—the experience he had on the planet Gilgamesh, where he was grabbed by a single, overwhelming attack from a fake [Crimson Demon Tree]!
Now he could tell clearly that the aura of the fake [Crimson Demon Tree] was exactly the same as that of this [Web Crawler]!
"Is this it?!"
Xia Fa finally understood who was secretly plotting all of this.
Moreover, it's quite obvious that the Web Crawler disguised itself as the Crimson Tree to attack him, with the aim of disrupting the situation and securing that Eternal Critical Strike!
"Tefaro!!!"
Xia Fa shouted in his spiritual intuition.
"Here they come, haha."
The next instant, a bald head resembling an ascetic fell out of the air beside him.
To be precise, it fell out of the "time rift" of Xiafa's "Gate of Stars"!
hum!hum!
The two simultaneously activated the original secret technique of the "Gate of Stars" [Star Bubble]. Pure black star bubbles enveloped dark purple star bubbles, and they were about to be teleported away to a remote star field trillions of light-years away from the planet Kaligi.
But suddenly, something unexpected happened.
The two star-shaped bubbles remained standing, neither breaking nor activating teleportation.
The Web Crawler's scarlet tongue flickered in the air, and it said meaningfully, "Two star bubbles stacked together could indeed potentially trigger a teleportation that ignores distance, but there is a chance of failure."
These words struck Xia Fa like a heavy hammer blow.
This "web-weaving crawler"—can it actually control probability?
Could it be that it possesses one of the dozens of strongest proofs of eternity: the probability of eternity?
Without hesitation, he and Tefaro tried again, and sure enough, they failed again.
The Web-Weaving Crawler, its gaping maw dripping with viscous fluid from its sharp teeth, revealed its ferocious nature: "I told you, your teleportation method has a chance of failure, don't you understand? Huh?"
As it spoke, it stood upright, seemingly ready to strike, burst the two star bubbles, kill Shafa and Tefaro, and seize the [Eternal Critical Strike].
The aura of an Outer God permeated the surroundings, rendering both Xiafa and Tefaro unable to move.
"Of course, your every move may fail due to stiff muscles, stiff joints, or even poor flow of supernatural power. It's the same principle."
As the "web-weaving crawler" spoke, he had already approached the star bubble.
Even with this unknown being of Outer God rank frantically using the [Probability of Eternity], Shafa and Tefaro remained completely immobile.
The probability of eternity is one of the strongest of the dozens of proofs of eternity, not to mention it comes with the overwhelming advantage of being an Outer God.
Just then, a cheerful voice rang out.
"I don't think so. Actually, once they've got the hang of it, with all the practice they've had of teleporting stellar bubbles together, they can definitely succeed."
That is————
Sou Chu Wu Kongjian's voice!
At this moment, both the stiffness of the body and the failure of the transmission of the star bubble were inexplicably influenced by some kind of mysterious "authority" in the universe.
Xiafa and Tefaro exchanged a glance. Their star bubbles were about to burst simultaneously, teleporting them directly to a remote star system far from Caligi.
But immediately, the Web Crawler persisted, saying, "No matter how perfect the timing is, there's still a chance of failure."
Xiafa and Tefaro once again experienced the failure of the superimposed teleportation of the star bubble.
As the "web-weaving crawler" spoke, he turned toward the source of the sound.
But immediately, His crimson eyes narrowed as He spotted the figure of Suo Chu Wu Kong Jian, who looked like a chef, not far below, and exclaimed in surprise, "A god?"
Suochuwu Kongjian chuckled and said, "Yes, what's wrong? Looking down on me?"
The Web Crawler narrowed its eyes, seemingly lost in thought, momentarily forgetting about Xia Fa in the nearby star bubble. Yet, at the same time, it still didn't want Xia Fa to teleport away.
Just then, an unexpected figure emerged from beside the body of the [Immortal Mummy].
It was—Dictator!
