Chapter 788 788 Crushing Decay into Oblivion!
Smite God Whip!
This is the supreme Immortal Artifact that accompanies the Investiture of the Gods. As long as there's a name on the list, even a Daluo who had attained Dao Verification and mastered the flow of time could be easily extinguished by the Smite God Whip!
However, without the coordination of the Investiture of the Gods, the Smite God Whip naturally would not possess such terrifying power. Yet, it still greatly restrains all acquired divine spirits and even Innate deities!
The Smite God Whip Qin Heng currently held was only a temporary magic weapon. It was formed by mysterious Daoist incantations, inscribed runes, condensed Heavenly Essence, and refined laws, with only a single use. Despite this, it still retained the characteristics of the Smite God Whip!
It could suppress all powers derived from the Dao and laws, rather than from self-cultivation by these deities!
"The true Smite God Whip can even extinguish Innate deities who wield the laws of the Dao."
Qin Heng's eyes were half-closed, his expression solemn. His fingers spread apart, and the light around the Smite God Whip in his hand flickered erratically. He said indifferently, "The Smite God Whip I'm using is merely constructed of runes and is rather weak, but it's still sufficient to kill a deity at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment!"
Saint Lords, although incredibly powerful enough to crush those at the peak of the Saint realm, still belong to the level of Saints and have not stepped into the realm of Great Saints. In terms of a cultivator's realm, this corresponds to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
They are not even considered half-step Golden Core!
At this moment, the people around were also watching Qin Heng in utter shock—or to be precise, staring at the Smite God Whip in his hand—trembling uncontrollably, filled with terror.
This wooden whip-shaped Magic Artifact imposed tremendous pressure on them, almost to the point of suffocation!
Even though the Smite God Whip specializes in striking deities, ordinary people would still feel immense pressure when faced with such a treasure, and an involuntary fear would inevitably consume them!
BOOM!!
The sound of a myriad of thunderous light streams surged forward once more. The hand that the Thunder Giant reached out was now close to the ruins of Tianxing Pavilion, and it would soon land upon Qin Heng!
"Insignificant insects, die!" thundered the Thunder Giant, shouting, "No matter how you resist, you cannot defy my will! Die, die, die, die!!"
"Ignorant fool!" Qin Heng snorted coldly, grasped the Smite God Whip, and suddenly threw it out!
This seventy-two-sectioned long whip, radiating with mysterious brilliance, flew from Qin Heng's hands. It soared into the sky like a blinding streak of light that tore through the heavens, shining so brilliantly it even suppressed the endless thunder!
CRACK!
A crisp sound was heard as the wooden whip landed squarely and harshly on the Thunder Giant's descending palm. Immediately, the densely packed golden runes began to vibrate, spreading out dazzling waves of light!
They clashed with the chaotic thunder converging in the giant's palm. A sudden burst of thunderous explosions erupted, echoing between Heaven and Earth. The Thunder Giant cried out in pain as its palm exploded, blood scattering like a torrential downpour from the skies!
In an instant, the ground trembled, and the sky shrieked; violent winds howled and ravaged the universe. The Thunder Giant stumbled backward, crushing countless mountains beneath its feet, and the heavenly lightning became even more vicious, as if to destroy everything!
"AAARGH! Damn it! Damn it! You insignificant worms, you all deserve to die!!" The Thunder Giant roared madly. Lightning bolts burst from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, instantly fusing with the surrounding heavenly thunder, becoming one with it!
The very next moment, the sea of lightning covering the entire Yu State region suddenly condensed. It transformed into an incredibly brilliant bolt of lightning that split Heaven and Earth, abruptly illuminating the darkened Yu State region as it exerted all its power to strike at the Smite God Whip!
It wanted to destroy it!
Unfortunately, that was mere wishful thinking, an impossibility!
After the Smite God Whip shattered the sea of thunder and burst the Thunder Giant's palm, its momentum did not lessen in the slightest. It pierced through numerous webs of thunder, aiming for the Thunder Giant's head!
"To think a toothpick like this could take my life! You insignificant insect, you're dreaming!" The Thunder Giant roared furiously. It channeled all its Divine Power, harnessing the thunder of Heaven and Earth to strengthen the lightning bolt, desperately trying to destroy the Smite God Whip!
BANG!
The lightning erupted with a supremely radiant brilliance and unrivaled strength, almost piercing through the atmosphere, and finally struck the Smite God Whip with a solid blow!
"Hahaha! Even Treasure Weapons of the Great Saints must fall dormant under my thunder. Insignificant insect, your death is certain!!" laughed the Thunder Giant.
This thunderbolt was a secret technique of the Thunder Giant clan, its power enhanced; it was his trump card. Even an ordinary Great Saint of the first heaven would have to retreat in the face of this thunderbolt!
He absolutely did not believe that a rune magic weapon, hastily condensed by a mere Innate Martial Artist, could withstand the bombardment of this thunderbolt. It was simply impossible!
But the next moment, the thunderbolt exploded into oblivion, disintegrating into countless shards of flowing light!
The Smite God Whip flew out, its radiance persisting, dazzlingly bright!
In an instant, it arrived above the Thunder Giant's head!
CRACK!!
It struck down!
This strike pierced through all the thunder, its golden light seeming capable of obliterating all divine spirits!
BANG!
Before the Thunder Giant could react, the Smite God Whip easily perforated its head, shattering the divine soul within its sea of consciousness as effortlessly as tearing through a piece of paper!
The dense sea of thunder that interweaved and flowed through Heaven and Earth suddenly ceased, as if frozen in time. The Thunder Giant's body stiffened, its eyes bulging with an incredulous expression.
This was its final expression. Even at the moment of death, it couldn't understand what had happened. Why could the Smite God Whip withstand its trump card? How could such a tiny "toothpick" easily penetrate its skull and obliterate its divine soul?!
Why? Why was this!?? He would never know the answer, for he had completely perished, his divine soul utterly obliterated.
BOOM!!
The towering, over two-thousand-meter-tall Thunder Giant was about to topple over, an event akin to the sky collapsing, a horrifying spectacle. If it were allowed to fall, countless lives would be crushed.
Qin Heng flicked his finger, and a strand of golden flame immediately flew from its tip. Everyone around felt a rise in temperature as they watched the golden flame slice through the sky and land on the Thunder Giant's body!
WHOOSH WHOOSH!
The moment the flame touched the Thunder Giant's body, it spread like a spark meeting gasoline, instantly turning into a sky-high blaze, engulfing the over two-thousand-meter-tall corpse!
In less than three seconds, the body of the Thunder Giant had been refined by the strand of Fire of Sun God flicked out by Qin Heng into a palm-sized crystal that shone with brilliant lightning.
Qin Heng beckoned with his hand, pulling the crystal into his grasp, weighing it slightly and nodding in satisfaction.
It contained the Thunder Giant's life force and a portion of its authority over thunder, making it suitable as a refining material. Thunder could evolve the principles of yin and yang, ultimately returning to Chaos. It could be added when refining the Chaotic Clock to interweave with its laws, further enhancing its power!
At this moment, everyone around was dumbfounded, staring at Qin Heng incredulously, including the female Semi-Saint of the Human Emperor Holy Gate and the other two Semi-Saints. All were shocked to their cores!
The Thunder Giant, an otherworldly divine spirit that had filled them with utter despair just moments ago, had died in an instant? And its body had been refined into a crystal?!
Inconceivable! It was simply too inconceivable!!
