Chapter 267: An Ant Shaking a Tree

On the main star, at the foot of that towering, massive peak, Lin Qing sat cross-legged on a flat boulder at the mountain's base, his eyes closed.

His eyes were half-open and half-closed, his eyelids drooping, as if he were enduring the pressure of the universe's will.

Not far above, the Void Lord who resembled a withered old man glanced at him from time to time.

Lin Qing knew this old thing was puzzled that a Void creature possessed such mental will; perhaps he suspected Lin Qing had some special secret technique for tempering the will and had developed a desire to covet it.

However, such an ordinary Void Lord, Lin Qing naturally would not take seriously now.

Including the Void Lords higher up on this massive peak, quite a few of them had noticed him at this moment.

There was no way; that a Void creature could endure the pressure of the universe's will here was indeed somewhat conspicuous; these Void Lords probably suspected he had a background, so they dared not act.

If these people knew he had actually touched upon the state where will becomes truth, they would probably be stunned into silence.

Suddenly—

"Boom!"

Just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, a ring of dark red ripples suddenly spread out like ripples on the lake's surface, instantly permeating within hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

The terrifying power contained within this invisible dark red ripple caused the void fluctuations to solidify, the space to contract sharply, binding and restraining everything within the domain.

Lin Qing opened his eyes and looked up.

He saw two figures emitting a terrifying aura crash into existence in mid-air; they were none other than two Void Lords.

"What a terrifying domain... a Seven-Colored Domain Divine Artifact?" The withered old man resembling a Void Lord, sitting cross-legged not far above Lin Qing, suddenly looked at the two, his face changing involuntarily.

"Lord of Nine Eyes? Lord of Supreme Creation?"

As a Void Lord who had long resided in the Misty Sea of Wonders, he had naturally heard of the Lord of Supreme Creation and the Lord of Nine Eyes, whose fame was immense in this sea domain.

Although these two were not as powerful as the supreme experts among those Void Lords, they were far stronger than most Void Lords, because both of them held several Seven-Colored Divine Artifacts!

And now, these two had arrived with such momentum, fully activating that terrifying Seven-Colored Domain Divine Artifact the moment they appeared, all to target a mere small Void creature?

"Die."

The Lord of Nine Eyes' gaze was cold; instantly, nine slightly illusory gray-white vertical eyes floated in the void behind him, and the aura of absolute extinction that seemed to annihilate everything immediately spread out.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

In an instant, nine consecutive dim, deathly gray streaks of light flew out, directly piercing through space and shooting toward Lin Qing!

Nine Eyes Great Annihilation!

It was the Lord of Nine Eyes' most famous offensive divine artifact, not only adept at annihilating life force but also containing soul poison and will impact!

At the same time, the Lord of Supreme Creation flipped his hand to produce a small, exquisite dark golden hammer; after gripping it, he silently swung the hammer down to smash at Lin Qing—

"Boom!"

That seemingly exquisite small hammer instantly expanded billions of times in volume, crashing down on Lin Qing like a towering massive peak!

In just an instant, the terrifying momentum resembling the collapse of heaven and earth completely enveloped Lin Qing.

Seeing this, the withered old man hurriedly retreated madly, and the domain did not restrain him, allowing him to escape this battlefield.

The Void Lords above the massive peak who noticed this scene also watched in shock.

"What sort of person is this kid?"

"A Void creature, yet he has drawn these two to attack him with full force simultaneously?"

"Nine Eyes Great Annihilation! Extreme Heaven Hammer! This kid is doomed."

"What a pity..."

How could a mere small Void creature possibly survive such a terrifying assault?

The terrifying streaks of light of the Nine Eyes Great Annihilation and that sky-obscuring, towering massive hammer attacked Lin Qing simultaneously at this moment.

Just then—

"Well done."

Only the sound of a slightly mocking cold laugh suddenly rang out; a wisp of five-colored light flew out from the void, emitting a strange aura that completely locked onto Lin Qing.

It was none other than a Five-Colored Divine Core!

"Divine Core?"

The Lord of Supreme Creation and the Lord of Nine Eyes reacted instantly—there was a Star God taking the opportunity to seize the other party's Divine Core!

Only a Star God can deal with a Star God!

At the same time, a telepathic voice sounded in the minds of the two: "The King of Eternal Night asked me to come."

In this instant, the light of extinction and the towering massive hammer attacked, and the Five-Colored Divine Core hovered in the air, instantly forming a terrifying killing trap!

Lin Qing raised his head, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

"Boom!!"

In this instant, an incomparably massive aura suddenly erupted from within his body; he had already fully mobilized the universe's origin within that platinum-golden pyramid inside him!

He saw terrifying, endless golden light rise horizontally in the sky with Lin Qing as the center, like a dazzling great sun, shining in all directions and covering everything.

Those nine gray streaks of Great Annihilation flying toward Lin Qing, upon contacting the light of this great sun, were like ice meeting a true scorching sun, instantly melting and vanishing into nothingness.

And under the crash of the endless golden light against that towering massive hammer, layer upon layer of void was squeezed and compressed to the extreme, and the entire massive hammer froze directly in mid-air!

An incomparably terrifying aura permeated heaven and earth, even causing the massive peak on this main star to tremble slightly.

The Void Lords on the massive peak watched this scene in near stupor.

This scene was simply too shocking; even with their life experiences and knowledge counted in hundreds of millions of years, they had never encountered such an extraordinary event, leaving them somewhat dazed.

Clearly a Void creature about to be annihilated, how could he suddenly erupt with such terrifying strength?

"What is going on..."

The Lord of Supreme Creation was also stunned for an instant, then began to desperately activate his pride and joy, the Divine Artifact hammer.

And his strongest technique, once famous for its immense power, now resembled a small infant trying to snatch a toy back from my lord; even with his face strained red, it was like an ant shaking a tree, completely unable to make his Divine Artifact move even a bit!

"No... impossible..."

And the closest to Lin Qing, the Lord of Nine Eyes, was the first to be bathed in that endless golden light.

But the instant it touched him, he was swept right in. Even though he desperately urged his defensive divine artifact to protect himself, he was still drawn into that endless golden light, like a terrifying tsunami that blotted out the sky, helplessly plunging into it and enduring the dreadful onslaught of the boundless radiance!

Unfortunately, his defensive divine artifact was a bit lacking—only a six-color grade. In the blink of an eye, the Lord of Nine Eyes's divine artifact defense was torn apart!

And his entire being was annihilated along with it. As his inner void collapsed, all that remained were divine artifacts frozen solid within the golden light.

The Lord of Ultimate Creation nearby couldn't help but be stunned.

"Nine Eyes actually…"

He had considered the possibility that killing this Star God would fail and the other party would escape, but he had never imagined that a top-tier powerhouse among Void Dominators like the Lord of Nine Eyes would die!

"It's over…" At this moment, the Lord of Ultimate Creation's mind was filled with regret and despair. "What kind of existence have we actually provoked…"

Before the Lord of Ultimate Creation could do anything further, he saw that endless golden light suddenly gather with a rumble, transforming into a sky-covering giant hand that very casually grabbed him, and then gently squeezed—

Layer upon layer of space was crushed and collapsed, and even though the Lord of Ultimate Creation desperately activated his seven-color defensive divine artifact, he was still annihilated and perished along with it.

All that remained were the many treasures and divine artifacts that burst out after his inner void collapsed.

The Void Dominators on the giant peak who noticed this scene couldn't help but be dumbfounded, one after another.

Even though they knew the seven-color divine artifacts left behind after the Lord of Ultimate Creation and the Lord of Nine Eyes died were right there, no one dared to snatch them, because everyone knew that would be seeking death!

"The Lord of Ultimate Creation and the Lord of Nine Eyes actually died, and couldn't even last a single exchange?"

"A Void Creature… how could this be possible…"

"Too… too terrifying… where did he come from, how could this be possible?"

One after another, the Void Dominators were somewhat stunned, staring in disbelief at Lin Qing, who was enveloped in that endless light below.

"These two fellows really couldn't bring out much strength after all…" A faint smile curled at the corner of Lin Qing's mouth.

After obtaining the set of divine artifacts, his strength had already surged by an entire major tier, already qualifying as the standard of the eighteenth layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

And although these two were at the pinnacle of the seventeenth layer of the Yu Xingyuan, on this Main Star they could only exert a tenth of their strength!

Yet he could perform perfectly!

Moreover, because his will had touched the threshold of Transformation-True, he could instantly and easily unleash his most perfect strength. The advantage was truly far, far too great.

In just a single exchange, these two were directly insta-killed, utterly powerless to resist.

"One left."

Lin Qing slightly turned his head to look.

The dazzling golden light also illuminated the distant void, revealing a figure hiding deep within the spatial interlayer, fleeing desperately in panic.

However, this domain that had transformed into endless light already covered several million kilometers, completely enveloping the entire giant peak and the surrounding area.

"It's over! What do I do, what do I do…"

Setting Sun, who had dived into the spatial interlayer with the aid of a divine artifact and was fleeing madly, was now filled with regret: "I never should have agreed to the Eternal Night King! Damn it! How dare the Eternal Night King provoke even such a terrifying fellow? Right… the Son of Chaos, he must be the Son of Chaos! Someone who can unleash such terrifying strength on the Main Star, someone who just obtained a Heaven-Born Divine Artifact, it must be him!"

However, when he had only fled a few tens of thousands of kilometers, he suddenly felt boundless might envelop the void around him, and his entire being was instantly yanked out of the spatial interlayer!

Then, surrounded by that vast power like a deep ocean, he was like an insect trapped in amber, completely unable to move.

"Star God?"

A faint smile curled at the corner of Lin Qing's mouth. "If I'm not mistaken, the divine spark you released just now was five-color, wasn't it?"

"Spare me." Setting Sun immediately said in a low voice: "I was only being used. If you're willing to spare me, I can share the secret of a Tier-Three Civilization Ruin with you. How about it? I can also assist you—whatever you obtain will be yours."

Of course, in reality he had no idea about any Tier-Three Civilization Ruin; such a treasure was something he himself dreamed of obtaining.

But with his life no longer guaranteed now, he could only try to stall for time.

"Oh?" Lin Qing looked at him.

"I know, the one who just obtained the Heaven-Born Divine Artifact is you, right?" Setting Sun hurriedly transmitted: "That Tier-Three Civilization also tests the will. With your heaven-defying will, going there would surely yield great gains."

"Is that so?"

Lin Qing looked at him, and suddenly slapped him across.

Boom!

Terrifying might descended, instantly annihilating Setting Sun's entire being completely.

And under the shroud of Lin Qing's two-color divine spark, Setting Sun's five-color divine spark also flew out, spinning, and was directly absorbed by Lin Qing's two-color divine spark, then entered his body and began undergoing an intense metamorphosis.

"If you really knew of a Tier-Three Civilization Ruin, how could you only have this much strength?" A hint of mockery flickered in Lin Qing's eyes.

Besides, he already possessed the legacy of the Primordial Realm, and now still had the Tier-Three Civilization 'Kings' Realm's Kings' Ruin that he hadn't yet entered, so he wasn't really lacking some unknown Tier-Three Civilization Ruin of dubious truth.

Casually collecting the many treasures and divine artifacts left behind after this Star God's death, Lin Qing finally withdrew the pervading golden light might.

And the Void Dominators on the giant peak who saw this scene were watching him with bated breath, as if they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

Even when facing those super powerhouses who had created divine techniques with complete spatial rules, they wouldn't be this reverent.

But for a mere Void Creature to be able to accomplish this, it was simply too horrifying to hear of!

Such an absolute prodigy—no one would think he couldn't become a Void Dominator.

He could already casually slaughter powerhouses among Void Dominators now. Once he became a Void Dominator in the future, wouldn't he be even more terrifying by far?

Moreover, he was very likely a fearsome powerhouse who possessed a seven-color divine artifact set!

Such an unbelievable fact had already left the Void Dominators present somewhat dazed.

Lin Qing hovered in mid-air and glanced at the Void Dominators on the giant peak, one after another.

The crowd of Void Dominators couldn't help but feel somewhat nervous.

Especially that gaunt old man, who felt even more palpitations and lingering fear—thankfully he had suspected back then that this Void Creature had a great background and hadn't dared to make a move.

Otherwise, with his meager strength, wouldn't he have died in an instant?

"Phew."

And Lin Qing, after glancing at this group of Void Dominators, didn't linger, and simply flew away.

Only then did the crowd of Void Dominators heave a sigh of relief.

They realized the will of this Void Creature was so terrifying; it was likely the one who had just obtained the Innate Divine Artifact.

Although they could not stop them from leaking the information, perhaps he would kill them on a whim?

"If they know, they know."

Lin Qing flew in the half-air above the Main Star. "After planting the Soul Mark, I can simply leave. As long as I cast the Disguise Secret Art, no one except the Three Ancestors and the Six Main Gods can see through me..."

Since he dared to act directly, naturally he feared no exposure.

Once he left the Main Star, he could simply change his appearance, and besides, he was about to leave the Phantom Mist Sea immediately.

"With my Spiritual Will, the Soul Mark and the Challenge Platform left on the Main Star, most Void Lords would be unable to handle it..." Lin Qing revealed a smile.

The Challenge Platform on the Main Star also left an Avatar to accept challenges from others.

But the Avatar within the Challenge Platform was also oppressed by the Will of the Universe; if the Spiritual Will was insufficient, one could not exert much strength regardless.

Yet he could perform perfectly, so naturally he had great confidence.

"Void Lord, just one step away."

Lin Qing took a deep breath. "As long as I comprehend a world vast enough, I can directly master the complete Spatial Rules!"
