No, right now, he was no longer Tang Chen.
"You did this? Just how many Divine Thoughts have you split into the Lower Realm?" Li Yifei asked with great interest, looking at the familiar yet strange existence before him.
Within those deep eyes, a flicker of indiscernible surprise flashed.
"You... don't seem surprised by my existence?"
His voice became deep and majestic, carrying a Divinity where words became Law; every syllable seemed capable of shaking a person's Soul.
"The Asura God, the strongest Enforcer of the God Realm." Li Yifei shrugged, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather.
"The rules of the God Realm were set by you, so you can violate them at will, and no god can judge you, right?"
He had exposed the truth in a single sentence!
Tang Chen, possessed by the Asura God's Divine Thought, had his pupils shrink abruptly!
Not only did the opponent know his identity, but he was even well-aware of the secrets of the God Realm!
"Who exactly are you? Are you also a Divinity's Divine Thought in the Lower Realm?" For the first time, a heavy gravity entered the Asura God's voice.
"But your aura is very unfamiliar to me."
"This physical body of yours is Tang Chen, right?" Li Yifei didn't answer his question; instead, he sized him up, revealing an appreciative smile.
"It makes sense. The current Tang San is still too weak and can't withstand a single complete strand of your Divine Thought at all. Naturally, he can't compare to this grandfather of his, who has half a foot in the Divine Rank."
"Correct." The Asura God possessing Tang Chen admitted it quite bluntly.
At this point, there was no meaning in hiding it further.
His eyes, containing endless Killing Intent, locked onto Li Yifei.
"You must be the variable that caused a major flaw in my plan. As long as I eliminate you, everything can return to the right track!"
Before his voice had even faded, a Killing Intent so terrifying it reached the extreme soared into the sky!
The entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to instantly plunge into the Nine Serenities Hell!
The air solidified, and all sounds fell silent!
In the distance, Spirit Beasts—whether hundred-year, thousand-year, or ten-thousand-year—were all trembling under this Divine Might, prostrating on the ground, unable to even muster the courage to flee!
To the side, Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled back, and he began foaming at the mouth, fainting instantly.
This was the power of a god!
The mere leakage of his aura was enough to suppress all living beings!
"Return to the right track?" Li Yifei laughed, his laugh somewhat cold.
"Your 'right track' is letting this trash trample over the spines of countless people, sacrifice his lover, abandon his friends and family, and finally take your God Position?"
"Your so-called plan, in my eyes, is nothing more than a meticulously choreographed, nauseating puppet show."
"Presumptuous!"
The Asura God roared in anger, his Divine Might like a prison!
He raised his hand, and within his palm, a dark red longsword condensed from pure Killing Intent appeared out of thin air!
"Those who blaspheme the Divinity shall be executed!"
There were no Spirit Abilities, no flashy Moves.
He simply swung his sword down!
Buzz—!
That strike did not tear through space, nor did it sever time.
It simply fell.
But the moment it fell, the Core Laws of the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to be tampered with.
All things withered, life was severed, and the meaning of all existence was simplified into the most primitive "slaughter."
This was a strike from a Divinity, a strike full of Killing Intent from the Asura God, who presided over the punishments of the God Realm!
Facing this certain-kill blow, Li Yifei didn't even look up.
He merely extended his right hand, palm facing upward.
A dark Singularity quietly emerged.
That Singularity wasn't large, only the size of a fist, yet it seemed like the ultimate end of the Universe, devouring all surrounding light and sound. Even the Asura God's terrifying Killing Intent underwent a visible distortion as it drew near.
Eye of Guixu!
The dark red Sword Beam finally fell.
There was no World-shaking collision, no roar of energy explosions.
That Sword Beam, capable of annihilating all living beings below the Divinity level, the moment it touched the distorted space above Li Yifei's palm, it was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool—it vanished... silently.
Devoured, transferred.
It failed to even raise a ripple.
"..."
The eyes of the Asura God possessing Tang Chen, which had remained unperturbed through the ages, showed violent fluctuations.
His divine force, his Law, were... eaten?
"A god? In the face of the true Laws of the Universe, they are merely bugs who have grasped a bit of the surface and lived a little longer."
Li Yifei withdrew his hand, and the Singularity in his palm faded away.
He raised his eyes, his gaze calmly falling on the Asura God as if looking at an interesting specimen.
"Let me see just how much of a beating you, this bug, can take."
Before his words could fade, his figure vanished from the spot.
In the next instant, he had appeared beside the Asura God. His five fingers spread open, and he made a grasping motion toward Tang Chen's left arm through the Void Realm!
Space itself became distorted under this grasp!
Around Tang Chen's left arm, the spatial Coordinates were forcibly modified, about to be "moved" a hundred meters away from his body by sheer force!
This was an attack more terrifying than any cutting Move!
"Humph!"
The Asura God snorted coldly, and his Divine Thought erupted!
From Tang Chen's body, a thick, dark red divine force instantly erupted, like a solid anchor, firmly pinning his own existence to the current spatial Coordinates!
Sizzle—!
The confrontation between spatial dislocation and divine force anchoring produced a tooth-aching tearing sound!
Li Yifei's spatial movement failed.
"Oh? Forcibly stabilizing your own existential Coordinates with divine force?" Li Yifei wasn't surprised; instead, he offered a comment. "Quite interesting, but this way, you've become a sitting duck."
The Asura God's expression was grave. This was no longer a Spirit Ability or a Domain, but a direct prying into the underlying rules of the World!
He didn't dare be the slightest bit careless. His figure retreated rapidly, the Asura Demon Sword condensing in his hand once more, with Killing Intent three times stronger than before!
He needed to create distance!
However, Li Yifei just stood there, watching his rapidly retreating figure, the corner of his mouth curling into a playful arc.
He casually beckoned toward the ground.
A stone the size of a human head flew into his palm.
Then, he gave it a gentle toss in the direction of the Asura God.
The moment the stone left his hand, it vanished.
When it reappeared, it had ignored the spatial distance and appeared directly behind the Asura God's heart!
Furthermore, it appeared... inside his dark red protective divine force!
"!"
The Asura God's divine soul erupted with an unprecedented warning!
Relying almost entirely on combat instinct, within a thousandth of a second of the stone's appearance, he forcibly twisted his body while the divine force within him vibrated frantically!
Boom!
That ordinary stone was instantly vibrated into dust by the violent divine force.
Yet the Asura God's figure appeared extremely disheveled.
He looked at Li Yifei with shock and uncertainty.
Teleporting an object directly into his body?
If what had been teleported just now wasn't a stone, but a poisoned Divine Artifact or a mass of unstable energy...
He didn't dare think further!
