Chapter 978: Sacred Ground, Number One (Requesting Moon Tickets)

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

Wei Gu swung his iron-like massive arm, wielding a giant battle axe that unleashed a Badao purple-gold Gang energy, its style grand and sweeping, shattering every one of Lin Qi’s illusions.

At the same time, he activated a secret technique, merging each illusion into the spaces he had opened.

No precise targeting was needed—any space he opened would forcibly pull in an illusion.

Because the number of illusions Lin Qi had split off at once exceeded ten thousand, each possessing astonishing combat power.

All formed from Gang energy, each possessed one-third of his own strength—also astonishing.

Attacks also struck him, inflicting considerable damage.

But killing Wei Gu was impossible.

He too activated a secret technique; his purple-gold domain exploded like a bomb, sending shockwaves radiating outward.

“Boom! Boom!!”

The sharpness of Gold and the fury of Thunder poured out, annihilating every illusion.

This was a powerful combat secret technique, not found in any scripture.

Its area of effect was enormous.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi’s killing move had fully condensed.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!!”

A purple-gold tornado swept in once more.

Wei Gu saw this, and the silver space runes on his body blazed with brilliant silver light, coming alive like serpents.

Space twisted; the area covered by the purple-gold tornado began to compress.

Simultaneously, a vast space opened, forcibly transporting Lin Qi into it.

But Wei Gu soon felt strain.

Because the space was highly unstable, demanding extreme mastery of space laws.

Lin Qi had just unleashed his killing move, causing chaotic space fluctuations and visible fissures.

It was now impossible to send Lin Qi into the opened space.

Unless Wei Gu mastered more types of true meanings.

His current control had reached its limit and could not be improved further.

So he could only meet force with force.

His massive body drew upon the vast source-energy within his Source Core World.

He too began unleashing his killing move.

“Hummm!!!”

The forces of Thunder, Gold, and Space formed three glowing rings hovering around his body.

The Gang energy continuously compressed!

Countless runes surfaced, radiating blinding light.

Space trembled violently, power accumulating, waiting to be released in one explosive burst.

“Boom!!!”

Finally, the giant battle axe slashed down, forming three distinct-colored kilometer-long axe Gang .

“Hum!!”

In the instant of the slash, the three axe Gang merged into one.

Becoming a single kilometer-long axe Gang , the three forces fused as one, their power layered like mass Diejia , flowing within.

As if triple the power had been channeled into a single strike.

A single one could kill a Universe Level 5 being—how much more so when three were fused, the power rising far beyond triple.

The pressure intensified.

Lin Qi felt intense danger.

Amid the blinding light, the two clashed again.

“Boom!!”

The purple-gold tornado expanded its coverage, directly colliding with the kilometer-long axe Gang .

With a deafening roar, the world was engulfed in endless light and violent shockwaves.

Under this impact, countless boulders shattered.

“Boom!!”

Finally, the entire dead planet was split cleanly in half by the violent shockwave.

Centered on them, tens of thousands of kilometers around were affected; half the planet was obliterated.

Reduced to countless fragments, scattering into the surrounding cosmic void.

In the violent clash, Lin Qi felt the terrifying force of the giant axe strike his body.

During the collision, his protective Gang energy shattered again; his body was flung outward and slammed deep into the ground.

Nearly piercing through the planet.

Wei Gu suffered the same fate—the kilometer-long axe Gang exploded in the clash, sending back endless shockwaves.

Wei Gu’s body was likewise driven deep into the earth.

“Huff~”

“Puff~”

He spat a mouthful of blood; his internal organs were severely injured.

His battle armor cracked with numerous fissures.

He had been careless, assuming his killing move alone would kill Lin Qi, never expecting the collision’s shockwave to be so violent.

As a result, he himself was gravely wounded.

Though his body was strong, it was only at the ordinary Star Domain level.

The shockwave from their killing moves was beyond what any ordinary being could withstand.

Including himself.

“Careless!”

Wei Gu thought inwardly, but he had confidence in his strength.

This killing move had nearly shattered the entire test planet, its power increased several times over.

The test planet they were on was specially crafted—its gravity and rock hardness were many times greater than those of an ordinary life planet.

Designed specifically for combat.

Lin Qi was powerful, but defeating him was now impossible.

This attack had nearly shattered the planet.

When they reached the 17th layer of the Origin Tower, the combat environment would change drastically.

But Lin Qi could not yet pass through now.

Saying this, he burst from deep within the earth and hovered in midair.

He searched for Lin Qi’s figure, releasing his spiritual perception to cover the entire planet.

“Hum!”

The next instant, a brilliant purple-gold light shot out, splitting in midair into thousands of illusions.

The power of each illusion had greatly increased.

The Gang energy burned fiercely, power surging upward, all hurling toward Wei Gu.

Their strength had increased dramatically compared to before.

Lin Qi launched a sudden attack, catching Wei Gu off guard.

He hadn’t expected Lin Qi to be this strong—after the collision, he was unharmed and still able to attack.

The surrounding space twisted as countless illusions attacked simultaneously.

Covering all surrounding space.

“Boom!!”

Wei Gu sneered: “Such attacks cannot defeat me!”

As he spoke, his massive body erupted with even greater might, releasing another surge of furious Thunder power.

Secret Technique—“Thunder Realm”

“Boom!!”

Fierce Thunder power merged with Gold and Space laws, pouring forth.

Its power surpassed pure domain force.

It had worked before, but now it was useless.

As the laws poured out, the illusions remained unharmed.

Though the number of illusions had dropped tenfold, each’s strength had surged dramatically.

Nearly half of Lin Qi’s full power.

Ordinary secret techniques were useless.

Only a few illusions were pushed back; the rest became streaks of purple-gold light, piercing and tearing through space like a thousand arrows fired at once!

“Boom! Boom!!”

Another violent clash erupted.

Wei Gu swung his silver battle-axe, muscles bulging, tendons snapping taut, pushing strength and speed to their limits, shattering one illusionary form after another as his source energy poured out continuously.

His expression grew grave.

Each illusionary form possessed immense combat power, stronger than ordinary Star Domain-level geniuses.
