"I told you, I'm only here to slay a demonic sword," the Thunder God King furrowed his brow.
He could clearly sense that the power of the Demon God King was immense, comparable to his own.
"Human!"
"Die!!!"
The Demon God King roared in fury, paying no attention to the Thunder God King's words.
In his mind, the Thunder God King had come to the Demon Domain to slaughter his kin!
With a thought, the energy in his right hand rapidly condensed into a spear!
In the next moment, he hurled the spear toward the Thunder God King.
The Thunder God King's expression darkened.
With a mere thought, a massive surge of lightning energy shot toward the Demon God King.
Boom, boom—
The terrifying bolts of lightning struck the Demon God King's body.
But in that instant, a vast amount of earth-element energy enveloped the Demon God King, forming an armor-like barrier around him.
The lightning bolts had no effect on him at all!
In the blink of an eye, the Demon God King closed the distance, his spear poised to pierce the Thunder God King!
"Lord God King!"
Qian Bailian shouted in alarm as he watched the scene unfold.
The Thunder God King quickly reacted, summoning a massive lightning spear to clash with the incoming attack.
Bang, bang, bang—
The weapons of the two God Kings collided, generating an ear-splitting explosion.
It was as if the very sky was being torn apart!
Qian Bailian, who had retreated to a safe distance, was filled with shock as he witnessed the titanic clash of the two God Kings.
Even from where he stood, he could feel the immense shockwaves of energy swirling through the air.
"That sword..."
Suddenly remembering something, Qian Bailian swiftly flew off in another direction.
...
"Damn..."
Ye Fan had reverted to his sword form!
After expending so much energy using those skills, his energy points were completely depleted.
Now, he could no longer maintain his humanoid form.
Moreover, his sword body was severely damaged—charred, with deep pits and cracks marring its surface.
"I almost got killed..."
Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter.
The power of the Thunder God King was overwhelming.
With his current strength, there was no way he could contend with a God King.
"But my luck wasn't all bad," he thought.
Ye Fan had noticed the arrival of the Demon God King, and now the two God Kings were locked in battle.
Even from a distance, the sound of their fight was deafening, and the sky itself seemed to shake.
Their attacks were devastating, destroying everything around them.
Ye Fan glanced at his remaining energy points—just a few dozen—and immediately took flight.
Flying only consumed one energy point per second, which would give him a little over a minute to cover a fair distance!
"Demonic sword!"
Just as Ye Fan took to the sky, a voice rang out from not far away!
That old guy is still alive?!
Ye Fan was shocked, glancing back to see Qian Bailian flying toward him from the distance.
His sword form was already in a dilapidated state.
In this condition, Qian Bailian could very well shatter him completely!
Without hesitation, Ye Fan sped away!
Whoosh—
Even in his weakened state, Ye Fan was still incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, he had fled far from the area.
"Damn!" Qian Bailian cursed as his face twisted in frustration.
He could sense that this sword, which had taken on human form, was no ordinary weapon.
Its potential for growth was extraordinary.
He couldn't let it escape!
If it got away, it would be much harder to destroy next time.
It would take a God King to deal with it.
But God Kings didn't appear often!
This time, the Thunder God King had only come because so many high-star Martial Gods had perished.
With that thought, Qian Bailian summoned all his strength, increasing his speed to chase after Ye Fan.
Whoosh—
But Ye Fan's speed was too great, and within moments, he had disappeared from Qian Bailian's sight.
Boom—
At that moment, the shockwaves from the battle between the two God Kings surged outward, buffeting Qian Bailian.
The force was so strong that Qian Bailian's body wavered.
He almost fell from the sky.
[Energy Depleted]
As Ye Fan soared through the sky, he saw the system notification flash.
In the next moment, his sword body began to fall.
"Damn, out of energy already!?"
Ye Fan cursed as his sword form started plummeting.
He had been flying at an extremely high altitude, so it took some time before he finally hit the ground.
Bang—
After a short while, the sword crashed into a forest below.
"Ah, I'm so tired," Ye Fan sighed as he lay on the ground, exhausted.
For some reason, he felt incredibly drained, a feeling he hadn't experienced before.
Looking around, he realized he had fallen into a vast forest, shrouded in mist.
At least now he could no longer hear the sounds of the God Kings' battle.
It seemed like he had flown quite a distance.
Feeling a sense of relief, Ye Fan thought to himself, God Kings truly are terrifying.
At his current level of strength, he had no hope of facing them.
"I need to level up quickly and unlock all my remaining skills."
"Once I've done that, I'll be able to face a God King head-on!"
"And there's still Qian Bailian!"
Ye Fan thought to himself, his resolve hardening.
...
Time passed.
After being exposed to the elements—sun, wind, and rain—Ye Fan's sword body began to rust.
The cracks in his blade remained unrepaired.
Perhaps it was because he had run out of energy.
"Ugh, when will someone show up?"
"I don't even need a person, a beast would do. As long as someone can wield me!"
