Chapter 447: Fall of the Gods

Within the sky‑blocking, sun‑obscuring fog, wind and rain poured down, lightning flashed and thunder roared, endless flames began to blaze above the ground, and the chain reaction caused by the deities' fall turned the whole world pale.

In the great fog, Mu Yi raised his butcher's knife, watching the silhouettes of the deities.

At this moment they were like headless flies, treading cautiously in the mist, daring not to overstep, fearing they had fallen into Mu Yi's trap.

"Death is your best destination!"

The Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen turned into black vapour and were infused into the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Blade, and a death aura threatening the deities' lives swirled over the blade's edge.

When a deity became distant from the others, Mu Yi boldly struck from within the fog.

At the instant the attack neared its body, the assaulted deity reacted, erupting with endless frost; the temperature plummeted, and Mu Yi felt his own body grow rigid.

It was as if the surrounding fog turned bone‑deep cold.

The frost‑type deity held nothing back; the moment it sensed a threat to its life, it unleashed its strongest divine power.

Nevertheless, Mu Yi ignored the bodily abnormality and resolutely swung the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Blade down.

The blade cleaved down, blood spattered in all directions, instantly forming a cloud of blood mist that coated the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Blade with a lurid, terrifying crimson.

The Frost God stared in terror at the death aura on the wound; the aura continuously eroded his body, causing his soul to shudder.

"Die!"

Deprived of any chance to struggle, within the isolated fog Mu Yi held complete initiative; the gravely wounded Frost God, faced with an even more ferocious blade flash, had no strength to resist and was cut down by Mu Yi.

His divine soul could not escape the Reincarnation Barrier's shackles and was drawn directly into the barrier to be consumed.

Mu Yi grew bolder with each battle; the blood‑stained Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Blade was now continuously growing, soaking up deity blood and death aura, causing it to begin evolving.

Its prior forging gave it a foundation to bear such power, and now it is even more ferocious.

The blood‑soaked Great Summer Dragon Sparrow made no pause, cutting straight through the fog.

Accompanied by the flash of dazzling blade light, several violent booms erupted in the mist, yet remained hidden within it.

"Zongwang Prompt: Mission status has changed!"

"Special Event: Rebellion against Heaven campaign updated!"

"Current event objective: Kill all deities"

"Warning: Team mission difficulty increased, please check notifications!"

"Zongwang Prompt: Frost deity has been slain, mission progress increased…"

"Zongwang Prompt: Nature deity has been slain, mission progress increased…"

……

The Holy Knights who launched the mission were now completely stunned; they stared at the endless fog before them, clueless about what to do.

The familiars and scouting spells they tried to send in vanished like a mud ox into the sea.

Aside from constantly feeling the earth's tremor and the booming sounds echoing from the fog, they knew nothing else.

They could only dart around like ants on a hot pan, frantic.

"What are we supposed to do now?" the Holy Knight said, on the verge of collapse; after all, he launched the mission, yet now he felt like an outsider who knew nothing.

"You ask us?" his teammate replied, eyes completely blank, having no idea what was happening.

The promised hero‑vs‑Demon King raid turned into both hero and Demon King abandoning the fight, while their teammates clashed with the deities.

And according to the Zongwang Prompt, that teammate was in absolute advantage, continuously slaughtering deities.

Those are deities, yet they die within lines of notification messages.

"Zongwang Prompt: Art deity has been slain, mission progress increased…"

Another deity's fall left everyone a bit numb.

"Heh heh heh, let's watch how it unfolds; it's now a war among the gods, not something we can intervene in!"

The Holy Knight, his expression complex, plopped onto the ground; he was completely out of options.

"It can't be helped!" the teammate shouted, also giving up; they truly couldn't understand why it turned into this mess.

Within the fog, the Radiant Goddess increasingly sensed danger; she could not perceive what was happening elsewhere in the mist.

But she could feel the divine realms hanging in the heavens were losing their masters one by one, a horror beyond imagination.

That meant deities kept falling.

"Got rich!" Mu Yi, seeing the ownerless divine realms above, tossed aside the Radiant Goddess still in the fog and rushed toward the heavens' divine realms.

He occupied the Demon King's Demon Soil to absorb its power; now the divine realms left by the fallen deities are even easier to absorb than Demon Soil, which for him is certainly a good thing.

Mu Yi roamed the heavens, gathering all ownerless divine realms into his own realm; they were premium material.

Although these divine realms still require purification, now that they're in his possession he can simply use his water‑grinding technique to process them.

For some realms that were hard to absorb, Mu Yi smashed them outright, breaking the massive realms into countless fragments before incorporating them into his own realm.

By the time the great fog began to dissipate, Mu Yi had swept up every divine realm above the heavens except the Radiant Goddess's realm.

Likewise, those deities had all met their end.

The sole remaining Radiant Goddess was indeed a contentious opponent; Mu Yi could suppress her easily, but slaying her proved difficult.

The bright radiance dispelled the lingering fog; without Mu Yi's power sustaining it, the fog was rootless driftwood, scattered away by the Radiant Goddess's brilliance.

When the Radiant Goddess saw everything around her clearly, a wave of panic rose within her.

"Dead, all dead, every deity is dead."

These deities were practically his brothers and sisters, and now all have fallen by Mu Yi's blade; how could she not feel fear?

After fear came endless rage.

"You deserve to die!"

The Radiant Goddess had completely lost her mind; how could she not realize that absorbing these divine realms would be faster than taking a long detour to absorb the Demon King's Demon Soil?

Beyond the undeniable value of the Demon Soil, she regarded those deities as siblings in her heart.

And now they're all dead.

The Radiant Goddess completely fell into a state of madness.

Scorching radiance poured down from the firmament, countless scorching rays; like a sun-like light sphere, it scattered countless arrow-like rays that shot at Mu Yi.

The Radiant Goddess pushed her signature ability to the extreme.

The frenzied radiance sought to utterly crush Mu Yi, but he showed no panic, his body swelling countless times again as he slammed down his weapon, annihilating every ray.

He poured all his strength into a full-force strike aimed at the Radiant Goddess.

His magnificent body shattered the ground, and as it trembled, the earth began to collapse.

Withstanding the Radiant Goddess's assault, Mu Yi likewise unleashed his own frenzied attack.

Mu Yi's body was covered in countless scorching marks, while the Radiant Goddess's divine form likewise quivered, struggling to maintain its shape.

He struck down again with a blade; this time the Radiant Goddess before him shattered like light and shadow, her entire figure collapsing and dissipating where she stood.

"Huh?" Mu Yi glanced around somewhat bewildered, spotting a stream of light fleeing toward the divine kingdom in the firmament above.

Even though anger had clouded his mind, the terrifying power still awakened the Radiant Goddess's reason; she immediately abandoned the plan to keep fighting Mu Yi in the material world and dove straight into her own divine kingdom.

She then drove the divine kingdom to fall from the firmament, like a huge meteor hurtling toward Mu Yi.

"Isn't this too exaggerated!"

Mu Yi pressed his palms together, the Reincarnation Barrier opening to the extreme as he tried to repel the falling divine kingdom.

Yet no matter how hard Mu Yi tried, the divine kingdom still crashed onto the earth.

Although these divine kingdoms hang high in the firmament, their essence remains part of the material world, merely having been cut out by the Divine Spirit Gate and combined with faith as their personal territory.

Lifting a divine kingdom is difficult, but letting it fall is far easier.

"Boom!"

The divine kingdom's fall wrought greater rupture upon the earth, also crushing the Reincarnation hierarchy layer by layer, causing the barrier to collapse more than half.

For such a move that slays a thousand foes while self-destructing eight hundred, Mu Yi could only mutter that it was truly ruthless.

Not knowing how many years the divine kingdom had been cultivated, the Radiant Goddess unleashed it without the slightest hesitation and smashed it down.

"Pfft~"

Mu Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, forced to admit that this move was indeed formidable—it shattered the Six Paths Reincarnation Barrier, dealing him genuine shock damage.

He could be immune to most gods' attacks, but this move of the Radiant Goddess truly dealt him heavy damage.

"Heroes under heaven are truly like carp crossing the river—truly admirable!"

Mu Yi wiped the blood from his mouth, watching the Radiant Goddess rush toward him, and couldn't help but sigh.

I had thought I was already invincible among my peers, but I hadn't expected there to be this move of mutual destruction with heaven and earth.

The Radiant Goddess is ruthless and decisive—no wonder she can control the world's beings.

Just as Mu Yi was preparing to fight the Radiant Goddess to the death, the Demon King emerged from the Demon King's Castle.

He failed to persuade the Hero's party, but he also left them utterly devoid of the will to fight.

Now that the other gods have all been slain by Mu Yi, the Demon King can't wait to leap from behind the scenes to the forefront, seeking to settle with the Radiant Goddess the ages-old grudge between demons and gods.

"False goddess, today is your downfall!"

The Demon King roared angrily, his aura rising, yet he could never break through to the level of a god.

"Ant! Do you think you're not under my control?" The Radiant Goddess coldly regarded the Demon King, her face full of contempt.

It's as if the Hero were completely arranged by him; the Demon King is actually a product he personally controlled and created.

It's laughable that the Demon King, a mere pawn, wants to jump off the board; since he's seeking death, it's no surprise it's him.

Light like arrows pierced the Demon King's heart; a Hero blessed by the goddess can slay the Demon King, and as the source of power, the goddess naturally can do so as well.

"Hahaha, you think I don't know?" The Demon King spat out a mouthful of blood, utterly ignoring his irreparable wounds.

"I've been waiting for an opportunity, and now it has arrived!" The Demon King was utterly mad.

The Demon King knows everything; he knows he too is a puppet controlled by the goddess, so he has always been accumulating power, even if the goddess knows he is accumulating power, he has not given up.

He is simply waiting, waiting for an outsider's chance to break the balance.

All the demonic soil in the Demon King's Castle ignited demonic flames; these flames began to gather upon the Demon King's body, forming a mass of cold-colored fire.

"Unknown god, take this demonic fury toward the gods!" The Demon King hurled the flames at Mu Yi, shouting loudly.

"Kill him, let everyone be freed!"

Mu Yi accepted this cold-colored flame, which contained all the power of the Demon King's Castle, its might immense, and also contained the demons' frenzied wrath toward the Radiant Goddess.

"Die!"

Mu Yi guided this mass of frenzied fury into the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, then struck with all his might at the Radiant Goddess.

Even if the Radiant Goddess erupted with all her divine power to resist, the demons' centuries-old fury could not be quelled; they were like a howling sea of fire, completely igniting the Radiant Goddess.

Without any medium, the Radiant Goddess simply began to burn from within outward.

This frenzied fury not only brought bodily pain to the Radiant Goddess, but even her divine soul within her form could not escape; as the fury spread, body and soul were burned away at a visible speed.

Watching the Radiant Goddess's expression lose control as she was consumed by wrathful fire, Mu Yi brandished his weapon and rushed forward.

The Demon King's assistance was just right; originally heavily wounded, he might not have been able to slay the Radiant Goddess, but now everything is possible.

"Mani mani hong!"

Strange incantations echoed across the battlefield; the Zongwang Players who had prepared god-slaying means swiftly activated their various trump cards.

Curses effective against gods, spells that directly affect the gods' divine souls…

Various forces with god-slaying properties rained down like raindrops.

Wrapped in the demons' fury, the Radiant Goddess fell deeper into a plight of adding insult to injury, as all forces harmed her.

Even if her divine soul was sturdy, her divine form hard, and she still stood upon the wreckage of her own divine kingdom, the Radiant Goddess now inevitably showed a hint of weakness.

"Boom!"

Frenzied power like a huge wave directly crushed the immobile Radiant Goddess.

The powerful divine spirit, under Mu Yi's attack after he transformed into a majestic form, turned into a cloud of blood mist and was absorbed by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword.

It put an end to this spacetime battle of soaring difficulty.

No matter what secrets the surviving gods held, they have now become a void, taking all their secrets into the grave.
