Chapter 440: Luck Golden Dragon 2
The God's Gaze cast by Susanoo transformed into a black sphere within Meng Yifan's Mud Pill Palace, resembling a black sun; it had been advancing like a hot knife through butter, forcing Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power into a steady retreat and nearly reaching Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin.
However, the moment Meng Yifan merged with the Golden Dragon of Luck, the momentum of offense and defense shifted.
Susanoo's God's Gaze utilized the Source Power stored within the statue; it was water without a source, a tree without roots, and could only unleash this one strike comparable to a Seventh Grade expert.
This was similar to Chen Yaojin's three axes; at the beginning, the attack was at its most ferocious, but having dragged on until now, it had weakened significantly.
The Golden Dragon of Luck, meanwhile, was the embodiment of the spiritual aspirations of the hundreds of millions of people in Shenzhou. At this very moment, the vast majority of the people in Shenzhou were watching this battle and silently praying for Meng Yifan, which allowed the Golden Dragon of Luck to grow stronger and continue the fight.
After Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin merged with the Golden Dragon of Luck, he felt his Divine Soul Origin filled with power, turning defense into offense and pressing down on that black sun to attack.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Each of the continuous, intense collisions caused that black sun to lose a massive amount of energy.
"Break for me!" After the fifth collision, Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin shouted, kicking out with his right leg; the Golden Dragon of Luck followed suit, also unleashing a Divine Dragon Tail Swing, both smashing into that black sun.
"Bang!" With a loud boom, that black sun was directly blasted apart, and some of the fragmented black energy tried to escape Meng Yifan's Mud Pill Palace.
Unfortunately, it was too late; Meng Yifan had long since sealed the Mud Pill Palace, and those shattered fragments of black energy no longer had the power to break through Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power.
These black energy fragments seemed to possess some intelligence; seeing they could not escape, they tried to gather together again to fight Meng Yifan once more.
Meng Yifan did not give it the chance, mobilizing all his Spiritual Power to swarm them and refine all those scattered black energy fragments.
The Golden Dragon of Luck, in particular, also took action; it seemed to possess characteristics such as dispelling evil, slaying demons, and masculine vigor, proving extremely effective in refining this black energy.
Once these black energy fragments were refined, they turned into pure Source Power of the spirit and merged into Meng Yifan's Spirit Sea, causing the strength of Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin to rise once again, nearing the level of a Seventh Grade Lower Tier expert.
After the last wisp of black energy was refined, the Golden Dragon of Luck nodded at Meng Yifan and then flew out of Meng Yifan's Mud Pill Palace.
Meng Yifan also opened his eyes, regaining control of his physical body.
"Damn it!" Seeing Meng Yifan open his eyes again, Susanoo realized things were going poorly; he stopped entangling with the Oriental Series Missiles and turned to run.
Seeing Susanoo trying to escape, Meng Yifan flickered his body, used Lingbo Microsteps to chase after him, and reached in front of Susanoo in the blink of an eye. He cupped his hands to form a sphere, one Yin and one Yang, unleashing the Yin-Yang Millstone to wrap Susanoo in the middle.
As Meng Yifan rotated his hands, the Yin-Yang Millstone spun at high speed, squeezing toward the center. Susanoo braced his hands against the black millstone and his feet against the white millstone, as if Pangu were creating the world, trying to pry the black and white millstones apart.
Unfortunately, Susanoo was not the great god Pangu; under the crushing force of the black and white millstones, Susanoo's statue could not hold up and began to crack bit by bit.
At the very last moment, Susanoo said coldly, "Meng Yifan, my true self will return soon. When that time comes, he will let you know the consequences of offending a god."
"Hmph! If your true self comes to find me, he will meet the same end as you." After saying this, Meng Yifan drove the Yin-Yang Millstone again, grinding Susanoo's statue completely into dust.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for hunting a Sixth Grade Lower Tier statue; obtained Experience Value points." The Game Panel's notification sound rang out again; Susanoo's statue had finally been finished off.
After Susanoo's statue shattered, it left behind a black rhombic crystal. Meng Yifan took it in his hand and was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was actually a Yin Attribute Spirit Treasure.
A Spirit Treasure is a treasure one grade higher than a Dharma Treasure; its power is greater, and more importantly, a Spirit Treasure can serve as the foundation of a world.
Meng Yifan's Nine-System World Prototype had the Five Elements Source of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which had been set up by He Dongliu. If Meng Yifan wanted the nine elements to be complete, he had to prepare Spirit Treasures of the Yin, Yang, wind, and Thunder attributes.
Meng Yifan had been worrying about where to find Spirit Treasures; he never expected that after one great battle, he would obtain a Yin Attribute Spirit Treasure. As long as he refined it, it could serve as the foundation for the Yin world.
"If Susanoo's statue has a Yin Attribute Spirit Treasure, could there be Spirit Treasures inside other statues as well?" Meng Yifan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to go grab the treasures, but then he thought better of it—a single Susanoo statue had almost caused his demise.
It was truly not a wise move to provoke other statues at this time. If he provoked some terrifying existence, it would be a disaster; after all, in the Dongying mythological system, Susanoo was not even considered the top-tier god.
"That was close! I almost finished it." Meng Yifan checked his physical condition and felt a lingering fear.
Meng Yifan had been carrying a total of nine High-grade Protective Dharma Treasures, and now they had all been blasted apart. If it weren't for the Rocket Force of Shenzhou launching a large number of missiles to intercept Susanoo, perhaps by the time Meng Yifan regained consciousness, his physical body would have already been destroyed.
Furthermore, the God's Gaze cast by Susanoo was also terrifying; if not for the help of the Golden Dragon of Luck, Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin might have been annihilated, which would truly have meant death and the dissipation of his soul.
"Dongying can awaken Susanoo's statue; perhaps they can awaken other statues as well."
"If Dongying can do it, other countries also have their own divine systems; perhaps at a critical juncture, they can also awaken their divine statues."
"Susanoo said at the end that his true self would soon return to Earth. Is this a threat, or is it really the case? If those gods really return to Earth, what will Earth become?"
"Also, if all the gods return together, that would be fine. Logically speaking, the gods of Shenzhou are no worse than the gods of Dongying. If the gods of Dongying return first while the gods of Shenzhou do not, that would be a disaster."
Meng Yifan stood in the void, thinking a lot. He had originally thought that with his Sixth Grade strength, he was already an invincible existence on Earth, but this battle with Susanoo's statue made him realize that the waters on Earth were very deep, and he could not afford to be careless.
"My strength is still too weak. If my strength improves to the Ninth Grade, or even to a realm comparable to an Ancient God, even if the gods of Dongying all return collectively, I will be able to protect Shenzhou." Meng Yifan made up his mind to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
Meng Yifan stopped overthinking, mounted the Golden Dragon of Luck, and flew toward Shenzhou; he needed to go find Chu Yunlong to discuss some matters.
The battle was over. The heads of the world's major military powers sat before their desks, silent. Having watched this battle, they already knew that atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs could not kill a Sixth Grade expert like Meng Yifan, which made them feel very helpless.
If they had a conflict with Shenzhou and the Shenzhou authorities sent Meng Yifan out, they would be unable to resist and could only be slaughtered by Shenzhou.
"I order that the plan to awaken the gods begin now."
"Please, Red-Clad Archbishop, spare no cost to awaken the gods."
"Please, Descending Head Master, awaken our gods."
All the leaders of the great powers issued similar orders. As for those small countries, their military strength was lacking, but in legends, their gods were extremely powerful.
This made these small countries feel that their opportunity had arrived; if their gods also returned to Earth, perhaps these small countries could rise, and becoming global hegemons was not impossible.
Because of this battle of Meng Yifan's, the impact was far-reaching, and the direction of global development changed.
Previously, everyone was engaged in an arms race, desperately researching new types of weapons; now, everyone was racking their brains to find ways to awaken their respective gods.
