#512 - Chapter 244: God-Slaying War (IV)

After a deafening series of explosions, he was thrown high into the air and slammed against the opposite wall of the cave, finally crashing to the ground, his armor heavily damaged.

Liu Yuan laboriously propped himself up with his arms and spat out a mouthful of blood. Enduring the pain, he focused his gaze on the bizarre mass of flesh from before. It was wriggling madly, gradually forming a humanoid creature about three meters tall. This monster was dark red all over, without a single hair. Even more chilling, its body was tightly encased in a layer of ghastly white exoskeleton, with three tentacles covered in sharp bone spurs extending from the back of its head. It also had a large tail that swished back and forth.

"Pah! Fucking ugly." Liu Yuan spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, using his longsword to support himself as he stood up.

"Human! You are powerful, but you are too greedy. A godhead is not something that low-level lifeforms like you can touch." Rahlo's voice echoed in the cave; this was the first time he had spoken.

Liu Yuan's eyes turned cold: "Are gods so noble? Weren't you just playing dead to ambush me, a low-level lifeform?"

"There's no point in discussing this. Hand over the heretic god's godhead! I can give you a chance to become my loyal servant, and I will spare your life." Rahlo's figure fully emerged, using four tentacles to brace himself against the rocks. His appearance was very similar to a monster from a science fiction short film Liu Yuan had seen.

Liu Yuan took out the heretic god's godhead, tossing it in the air, and said, "Want it? Then come and get it yourself!"

Rahlo snorted coldly: "Foolish human!" With a wave of his hands, several black vortexes hurtled towards Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan dodged to the side with extreme speed. Those black swirling orbs were indeed not easy to hit if one was prepared. However, in the instant he dodged, a black shadow flashed past. With a loud bang, Liu Yuan was struck mid-air by a massive tentacle, crashing into the ground with tremendous force like a cannonball. Immediately afterward, another tentacle stabbed down fiercely, its bone spurs gleaming with cold light.

"Agh!" Rahlo cried out in pain, hastily retreating a few steps. To his shock, Liu Yuan slowly stood up from the ground, his longsword gripped tightly in his hand, while his other hand held a still-wriggling section of tentacle. A hint of disdainful smile appeared on Liu Yuan's lips: "Interesting. If this is the power of a god, it's far from enough to make me submit!"

As his words fell, a blood-red light erupted from his body, like a burning flame. This blood-colored light was extremely dense, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble. It was Liu Yuan activating the power of his blood core—Qi and blood transforming into baleful energy!

(╬ఠдఠ)و Rahlo hesitated. He had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, and now that the seal was finally loosening, he was about to break free and become the only true god in this world.

But the human before him had displayed unimaginable strength. He really didn't want to fight this human to the death at this moment, which was why he had played dead earlier, planning to escape after the seal was broken. Once he regained his divine power, this world would be ruled by him, Rahlo.

Liu Yuan keenly sensed the other's hesitation, a faint smile appearing on his lips: "Haha, it seems you've reached your limit. In this special space, divine power is sealed, and the divine power you previously leaked has been completely absorbed by me. Can you still unleash powerful moves now?"

The taunt from Liu Yuan infuriated Rahlo: "Killing you, an insect, is more than enough!" Before the words were finished, Rahlo's towering figure instantly disappeared into the air, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

Liu Yuan dared not be negligent in the slightest, immediately gripping his longsword tightly, on high alert. However, when that sharp gust of air was about to approach, it vanished without a trace.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but frown, becoming secretly vigilant in his heart. He knew that Rahlo, as an ancient deity, must be hiding more methods and powers, and he must not be taken lightly.

Sure enough, Rahlo quietly appeared behind his side, waving his hands again. This time, a massive black beam of light shot out from his hands, heading straight for Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan was greatly startled, hurriedly dodging to the side, but the black light was like a maggot clinging to bone, following closely behind him. Faced with such a troublesome attack, Liu Yuan had no choice but to swing his sword to block it. However, when his sword energy came into contact with the light, a deafening explosion rang out, and Liu Yuan was once again blasted away, covered in smoke.

Liu Yuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. The bloodstains turned black the moment they hit the ground, and he felt as if his internal organs were about to be scorched. Just then, Rahlo suddenly appeared in front of him, wrapping a tentacle around his neck and lifting him up to his face.

Liu Yuan seized the opportunity to strike with all his might, slashing his sword at Rahlo. Rahlo had not expected Liu Yuan to have such tenacious vitality and counterattack ability. Caught off guard, he was struck hard by Liu Yuan's longsword. He let out a miserable cry as a piece of his head's exoskeleton was forcibly gouged out.

The enraged Rahlo unhesitatingly slammed a fist into Liu Yuan's chest, and Liu Yuan retaliated without weakness, throwing a punch at his face. Although Rahlo was stronger in terms of attributes, Liu Yuan had the buff of Qi and blood power, making his strength not inferior to the enemy's.

The two engaged in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat, exchanging punches and kicks, wielding claws, biting with teeth, whipping with tails, entangling with tentacles, and slashing with longswords. These were their weapons of battle. The armor on Liu Yuan's body was severely damaged, with armor plates flying everywhere. And the exoskeleton on Rahlo's body was also broken in many places.

"Agh!" Rahlo unleashed his remaining divine power. Shadow Strike, accompanied by a powerful mental attack, once again severely injured Liu Yuan. Rahlo seized the opportunity to pursue, his four tentacles tightly entangling Liu Yuan's limbs and neck. The bone spurs at the ends of the tentacles pierced deeply into Liu Yuan's flesh, injecting a paralyzing toxin into his body. At the same time, his left claw tightly gripped Liu Yuan's right hand, which held the sword, and then he swung his right fist, slamming it hard into Liu Yuan's abdomen. Punch after punch, pushing Liu Yuan into a desperate situation.

Liu Yuan bled from all seven orifices, his right hand weakly loosened, and the longsword fell to the ground, seemingly losing the ability to resist. The tentacle wrapped around Liu Yuan's neck tightened further, pulling him close to his face.

"Roar!" He opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth, letting out a deafening roar, fully venting the joy of victory.
