The oppressive Cosmo swept down, and Jiang Chen's brow furrowed slightly.
He hadn't expected to encounter a Spiritual God so soon.
From its aura alone, this being's power was on par with a secondary god.
At least to Jiang Chen's perception, this opponent's Cosmo wasn't weaker than Thanatos's.
"Die!" A pitch-black Cosmo surged forth with overwhelming might.
Swoosh!
Illusory tides roared,
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
As two majestic Cosmos collided in an explosive crash.
At that moment, Jiang Chen finally made his move. Although Jiang Chen had been reluctant to act, the opponent had already made the first move, so he had no intention of holding back anymore.
Two vast Cosmos collided against each other in mid-air.
The pitch-black space around them began to fracture, layer by layer.
"This power...? You're not a mortal?" Anubis' eyes widened, his gaze locking firmly onto Jiang Chen with disbelief.
Originally, he had thought a casual attack would be enough to instantly crush these few ants.
But to his shock, there was an elephant hidden among the ants.
His strike had actually been blocked and while Anubis was stunned, the others around them were even more shocked.
Especially Charon of the Heavenly Star among the Specters, as well as the three Sea Warriors, they were stunned speechless.
Gulp!
The one who had taunted Jiang Chen earlier couldn't help but swallow nervously. The three glanced at each other, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads.
In that moment, they recalled their earlier suicidal behavior…
"H-He's this strong?!" One of them couldn't stop himself from speaking aloud.
Yet, no one responded.
All eyes were now glued to the battlefield, watching Jiang Chen and the Spiritual God clash in the distance.
Nervousness and awe filled their hearts.
Jiang Chen, however, ignored them.
His Eighth Sense Cosmo burst forth at full strength, his Golden Cloth had already been donned, and one by one, stars began to light up.
In an instant, those stars began to link together rapidly.
"Impressive power," Anubis sneered. "But… you don't seem to be a Spiritual God."
Hmph!
With a cold snort, Anubis unleashed another wave of his majestic Cosmo, his energy rising higher and higher.
In the face of this eruption, Jiang Chen said nothing, he simply charged forward to meet it.
BOOM! BOOM! RUMBLE!!
The world shook with deafening explosions as aura clashed violently.
Their battle spread toward the dimensional boundary itself, and their Cosmos unleashed terrifying forces akin to the explosion of galaxies.
Everyone watching was forced to retreat.
"So strong...!"
Charon, of the Heavenly Star, couldn't take his eyes off the sky.
Even he had never expected that this person he'd been sent to escort could be so powerful.
After all, the opponent was a Spiritual God.
Yet Jiang Chen was holding his own, an almost unthinkable feat in this Mythical Era.
"Could it be...?" Suddenly, Charon seemed to realize something.
His heart trembled slightly.
In the Mythical Era, no mortal could possibly contend with a Spiritual God.
The only explanation?
Jiang Chen must also be a Spiritual God.
Realizing that he had personally received such a being, Charon became even more excited. Of course, Jiang Chen was unaware of these thoughts.
Locked in his intense battle with Anubis, he had become fully immersed.
His power flowed out without reservation, and his Cosmo was being pushed to the absolute limit.
The void around them exploded again and again.
The laws of death infused Anubis's Cosmo, clashing with the pure Cosmo wielded by Jiang Chen.
Their combat transcended reality, expanding into boundless space.
Below, whether it was Death Warriors, Specters, Sea Warriors, or even God Warriors, they all had to retreat continuously.
This fight had already surpassed even the so-called "battle of a thousand days."
It was a clash of beings beyond that tier entirely.
Meanwhile, in the higher dimensions of the Underworld Realm, an even more terrifying war was unfolding.
On one side stood the King of Hell, Hades. On the other hand, the ancient Egyptian god Osiris, also the King of the Underworld and one of the Heliopolitan Ennead.
In addition to them, several other Spiritual Gods had joined the fray, and their collisions were shaking the very fabric of the mythic realm.
The King of Hell, Hades, was indeed powerful, but Osiris's strength was no less formidable.
The two were locked in a complete deadlock.
"Hades, with your current power, you're still not qualified to seize my laws of death! Maybe if Zeus came himself, it might be a different story!" A voice laced with cold mockery rang out, and Osiris's eyes glinted with fury.
He had never expected Hades to suddenly turn on him like this. Just recently, he had even helped Hades annex the domains and laws of several other Lords of the Underworld.
But now? Hades had turned on him.
His aura surged, and a majestic divine will spread in all directions, the power of universal termination continuously emanating outward.
However, at that very moment,
BOOM!
A blazing sun suddenly descended from the heavens, forcibly crashing into the battlefield between the two gods.
RUMBLE!!
Terrifying heat engulfed the entire area, instantly turning everything into a sea of flames.
At the same time, a divine will just as majestic as Osiris and Hades' came crashing down from the sky.
"Ugh!"
Osiris grunted in pain, his figure staggering backward.
A streak of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his aura trembling violently.
But he couldn't focus on that now.
His eyes were locked onto that burning sun, and his heart trembled violently.
"The Sun God... Apollo!?" His deep voice trembled.
Then, he suddenly turned to look at Hades, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
He couldn't believe it.
That Apollo, the Sun God, the son of Zeus, had actually appeared here.
And not just appeared…
He had directly intervened, inserting himself into the battle, and he was assisting Hades!
"How is that possible?!"
Zeus and Hades were sworn enemies. They had fought over the Divine Kingship for countless years. How could Apollo, Zeus's son, side with Hades?
As Osiris's mind raced, a thought suddenly flashed across it.
His expression changed drastically.
"So that's it… It was all a setup! A conspiracy!"
The words burst from his lips, his face now showing a mixture of shock and horror that he could no longer hide.
"So, you've figured it out. But it doesn't matter anymore… This… is your end." From within the sun, Apollo slowly emerged, his entire body radiating divine might.
An immense divine will instantly surged out, enveloping Osiris. At the same time, Hades, shrouded in death, released a divine will of equal power.
While Apollo's power was slightly inferior to Hades, the gap wasn't large.
Now with both of them combined, the entire surrounding time and space was completely sealed.
Even if Osiris wanted to flee, he couldn't escape anymore.
And at this moment, he finally felt it: A death crisis, the likes of which he had never experienced before.
Spiritual Gods are almost immortal...
But only almost, not truly indestructible.
If one's laws and divine authority are devoured, then even a Spiritual God...
Can die.
