Chapter 507: Against the Dark Sun: The First Battle!

"Is this the powerful underlying force mastered by the ancient sequence civilization?"

After roughly perusing the numerous pieces of information on the civilization sequences that Ta Ke offered as sacrifice.

The deity A Lumuofu was utterly shocked.

Even deeper than the impact of the information he received when he first ascended to deity.

"After ascending to deity, the path ahead was still vague, but after Ta Ke brought over so much crucial civilization‑sequence information, the future road becomes very clear."

"Not only does it help me enormously, it also astonishingly aids the other demigods and the Three‑Eyed God."

With this in mind, A Lumuofu quickly began to contemplate.

"Hmm… we must swiftly spread the method of constructing the 'Sequence Civilization Ladder' of these mighty civilizations, so that demigods can have a greater chance to further become deities."

"At the same time, those mid‑tier legends and weak demigods also have hope to become demigods of respectable strength."

All residents, whether human, goblin, dwarf, orc, or the scarce elves.

What shatters is their devout faith.

The once‑imperious, world‑dominating Dark Sun ecology now suffers repeated defeats.

But today something is different.

Yet this world has completely become a sacrifice to the Dark Sun.

This is the Era of the Eternal Night Prison.

Such death and endless dark decline will endlessly cycle within the Dark Sun's reincarnation.

The human Three‑Eyed God camp cannot restrain them.

Even when the divine ecology reaches its limit, invisible barriers always block his ascent.

Throughout the transcendent world, the traits of the Dark Sun and its faith ecology are being continuously burned and cleared by Ta Ke's Steam Star Web ecology.

But immediately afterward, it seemed as if fire had been ignited.

…………

"In short, the many sequence civilizations of the Chaotic Great Continent share the same origin, all belonging to the 'World Tree of Life' sequence, and can jointly construct the Sequence Civilization Ladder."

Silence, deep within the dark void.

This is the path deities use to climb higher sequences.

Previously, those idle, even neutral, or evasive, far‑sailing forces.

Under the scorching of the Steam·Star Web Scorching Sun ecology.

The Steam Sequence holds little attraction for demigod‑level or even deity‑level strong ones.

"Although deities are hard to achieve, demigods are comparatively easier."

The Steam Constellation Projection Ta Ke, standing atop the world's barrier, quietly observes the world before him, infiltrated and eroded by the Dark Sun.

The Ao Gu Twin Stars Transcendent World withstood the Dark Sun's invasion.

Countless residents of the transcendent world wailed, twisted, and roared.

But their souls did not shatter.

What they worship is the Dark Sun.

"Wuwuwu……"

And the Sequence Civilization Ladder is also the ancient sequence civilization's 'Divine Ascension Ladder'.

The road seems already blocked dead.

A world shrouded in a hazy, blood‑red Dark Sun.

"This matter is indeed important, but we must not rush it."

One after another, they had never seen a blazing sun cover the entire sky, a massive scorching network slowly seeping into every corner of the world.

The sky had only just turned faintly crimson.

It is a presence no demigod, nor even deity, can refuse.

Once, the Ao Gu Twin Stars Transcendent World almost fell to this fate.

"Maintain good contact with the Three‑Eyed God, discuss details carefully, so we can effectively unite more forces."

The Dark Sun imprisons and enslaves all living beings with darkness and ash, drawing and squeezing their faith power until the last drop of life is exhausted.

There is no effective upgrade method.

"It can also effectively employ numerous weak demigods, demigod power, and even cross‑racial sequence‑civilization domains, jointly constructing the Sequence Civilization Ladder."

As a deity‑level top‑stronger, A Lumuofu naturally understands the importance of the ancient civilization's construction method for the Sequence Civilization Ladder.

But at this moment, the 'Life Tree·Sequence Civilization Ladder·Construction Secret Method' that touches higher ladders is a great road.

He, who has just ascended, and the Three‑Eyed God who ascended long ago.

The soaring, booming roar is like a massive steel wheel crushing their souls.

The Dark Sun ecology coexists with ash, further sinking in darkness.

Ta Ke's Steam Scorching Sun ecology is naturally the antithesis of the Dark Sun ecology.

If it were the previous legendary realm, Ta Ke would still find it hard to oppose the Dark Sun evil god's ecology.

But now.

Ta Ke has already touched the Eternal Divine Realm.

Although only a few thresholds were reached, it also ignited the Star Core Divine Fire.

The Dark Sun evil god is not a 'True God'.

It relies on the sinking of the Chaotic Star Core, giving birth to a bizarre evil god.

Ta Ke, who possesses the foundation power of the Steam·Chaotic Star Core ecology, having ignited his own divine fire, attains deity status.

He fully has the means to confront the Dark Sun evil god.

After having a detailed and in‑depth exchange with the deity A Lumo Fu.

Ta Ke roughly understood the war situation across the vast starry sky.

The Human Realm, the Elf Realm, the Beast‑folk Realm and other forces have stabilized the situation.

Moreover, Ta Ke also needs time to develop.

Therefore, Ta Ke did not continue to provoke the Green Star Clan.

Instead, he plans to launch his war scheme that is like a gear of destiny!

In the past, Ta Ke was forced to oppose the gear of the Green Star Clan's war destiny.

Now, Ta Ke has turned the tables.

He wants the Green Star Clan to feel being crushed by the gear of destiny!

The Demigod Expedition is about to begin.

And Ta Ke is on his way to the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship.

In the inner starry‑sky region of the Alien Black Mist Layer Realm.

Ta Ke moving forward here is still relatively safe.

Even a demigod's probe would find it hard to discern Ta Ke's trace.

If a deity were to investigate here.

Then Ta Ke would even welcome that scene.

After all, it seems that only two high‑ranking deities of the Green Star Clan have entered so far.

If Ta Ke can involve power of deity level, that could relieve a considerable amount of pressure on the various forces.

But evidently, nowadays the Green Star Clan is focusing more on salvaging the Chaotic Star Core and on hindering Ta Ke's entry into the Ancient Chaotic Continent.

And it is not Ta Ke's actions within this Alien Black Mist Layer Realm.

As the world's settled Dark Sun traits and ash ecology are continuously expelled.

A towering figure radiating divine aura suddenly burst into this starry sky.

The Green Star demigod's gaze swept across this world, landing on the projection standing atop the world's barrier.

"Ta Ke?"

"I've heard your name before; they say you caused quite a stir over at Flora·Cosmic Mountains."

"Yet at merely a weak demigod level you already wield such astonishing power; that Dead Star Disaster Site is indeed a fine place."

The Green Star Clan's projection said calmly.

"Do you know why I can kill so many of the Green Star Clan?"

Ta Ke's indifferent voice cut off the Green Star demigod's projection from elaborating further.

"First, it is because the Green Star Clan itself is not weak; it can unilaterally crush many strong beings of other sequential civilizations, which gives many Green Star members an illusion—that they think I, Ta Ke Lamor, am just a nobody, that they have a slight trick within the Green Star Clan, and thus dare to show off before me."

As Ta Ke explained, the Green Star demigod's projection was not frightened at all.

Just like the Green Star members Ta Ke has seen before, they are proud, arrogant, and complacent.

And that is why the Green Star Clan meets its end at Ta Ke's hands.

"Second…"

Ta Ke took a deep breath.

"It is that many Green Star members think that a projection before me, even if it dies, is only a projection and will not affect them at all."

"Isn't that so?"

The Green Star demigod's projection let out a low laugh.

"Of course not."

Ta Ke gave a faint smile.

"Because... I can follow the projection threads of your Green Star Clan and completely wipe out your Green Star Clan."

Ta Ke's words made the Green Star Clan's complexion darken slightly.

Before the Green Star demigod's projection could react,

"Wah‑la…"

The scorching divine spell 【Calamity Blood Flame】 has already followed the threads and fully ignited the very body of the Green Star demigod that came via the projection.

"Pong!"

The Green Star demigod immediately self‑detonated the projection and hurried to deal with its own divine Blood Flame.

If it fails to effectively handle Ta Ke's divine Blood Flame, its downfall is a highly probable event.

Even if it manages to dispel Ta Ke's divine Blood Flame, aside from its own demigod‑level segment, all other segments will certainly be rendered useless.

With the expulsion of this arriving Green Star demigod,

Ta Ke turned to look at the transcendent world beneath him.

And at that moment!

In the transcendent world below, massive Dark Sun power rumbled and throbbed, gathering and stacking together.

The darkness writhed.

A huge Dark Sun began to take shape faintly.

Around it was an ash halo as if stained with blood.

The Chaotic Star Core sinking in death.

The aberrant evil god born within the alien death‑black‑mist grotesque and rugged ecology.

The terrifying Dark Sun evil god, which spreads Dark Sun faith outward, pollutes ash, drags and imprisons the world in sinking, slowly coalesces its projection outline within the world ecology beneath Ta Ke's feet.

The massive dark vortex continues to condense.

Ta Ke!

A towering, mountain‑like, oceanic roar of crashing waves swept in.

At the same time, the terrifying, corrosive ecology of Anri Xieshen also surged forward.

Endless darkness writhed madly, its dark tendrils like claws, seeking to tear the entire World Barrier apart.

Ta Ke pinched with one hand, and the Star Nian Divine Staff activated.

Wooo…

The raging, surging steam wave of the Steam Chaotic Star Core roared forth, and the booming of the steam sequence drowned out the Anri Xieshen ecology.

Aside from the Steam Chaotic Star Core ecology.

In the distant Flora Cosmic Mountain Range, vast forces of the Steam Star Net ecology lent Ta Ke powerful assistance.

In this ecological clash, Ta Ke feared not Anri Xieshen.

This is also the capital that emboldened Ta Ke to launch the Demigod Expedition.

Whether it is the Legendary Expedition or the Demigod Expedition, such massive rites pit ecology against each other.

Anri Xieshen.

As Ta Ke's divine might resonated thunderously.

The massive Steam Star Net ecology instantly anchored onto the World Barrier, reinforcing the world's framework from all sides.

It completely blocked the forces gathered by Anri Xieshen, preventing them from tearing the world apart.

One side concentrated and intensely provoked the Anri Xieshen ecology, endlessly burning the lives of countless believers in Anri Xieshen, aiming to rip the world apart.

The other side, however, drew upon the Flora Cosmic Mountain Range and the Chaotic Star Core ecology to stabilize the world.

Both divine forces burned wildly.

Wah‑la‑la‑la…

Anri Xieshen, through the World Barrier, gazed at Ta Ke.

Twisted, maddening murderous intent surged like never before, and Anri Xieshen was willing to expend massive divine power just to sustain the clash.

Behind Ta Ke, the Steam Star Net ecology loomed as heavy as a mountain.

Its own divine conversion efficiency was extremely high.

Moreover, the legendary source energy was inexhaustible.

In the confrontation between the two deities.

The state of the entire world was evident.

After the extreme darkness and scorching sun alternated repeatedly for half a day.

The entire transcendent world had become a complete upheaval, a scene of utter devastation.

Ta Ke stood alone, merely a projection; even if the projection were defeated and perished, the damage would be minimal.

Anri Xieshen likewise relied on his own accumulated Anri Xieshen power.

Moreover, the Green Star Clan clearly would not wage war over such a "trifle."

Ta Ke and Anri Xieshen clashed in this borderland, uninterrupted.

By the third day of the clash, the transcendent world began to buckle.

The World Barrier and the primordial framework showed signs of collapse.

Until the seventh day.

In the duel of the two deities.

Boom—

As a massive transcendent battlefield, first the outer crystal walls of the world cracked and shattered, then vast areas collapsed, followed by the internal primordial decay, with countless transcendent essences spilling into the cosmic void.

Just like the dispersal of a transcendent being's supernal life matter.

Thus the massive transcendent world collapsed.

Ta Ke…

Unable to sustain the Anri Xieshen ecology, Anri Xieshen roared in fury.

"You think you can expedition me? It's not that easy. The Foreign Divine Alliance stands with me, the Great Green Star Clan will aid me, and within this Foreign Black Mist ecology I also hold a divine rank."

"You dare perform an expedition ritual against me; that will be your death journey…"

As the explanation continued, Anri Xieshen's voice gradually faded away.

Ta Ke calmly observed Anri Xieshen's roars and howls.

"Expedition" is a rite, a war rite.

It is also a process, the sequence's progression.

It is also ecology, specifically the far‑reaching "Fate Ecology".

Once the "Expedition" rite is triggered, it may start small enough to pause.

But once it rolls like a snowball, growing larger.

It becomes impossible to stop.

Either the "Expedition" succeeds.

Ta Ke treads on Anri Xieshen's skull, becoming a deity.

Or Ta Ke's ecology collapses, suffering heavy losses.

And for this God‑slaying Expedition, Ta Ke has prepared for far too long, and far too much!

Since the gears of fate were set in motion by Ta Ke himself.

They will not cease; all who block will be crushed to death.

Nevertheless, the divine is eternal!

God-Slaying Expedition can be very short, or it can be very long.

As a God-Slayer, Ta Ke can, in this great ceremony of the God-Slaying Expedition, draw in enough enemies, and then will crush everyone completely.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke slowly retracted his projection.

Ta Ke, in the Foreign Black Mist, looked toward a direction deep within the Foreign Black Mist.

Ta Ke has already felt the specific location of the Dim Sun.

Afterward, Ta Ke looked toward another direction.

That direction is the Four-Tusk Elephant Realm Ship.

"First, return to the Four-Tusk Elephant Realm Ship, obtain from Qi Oulai Demigod what I ought to obtain, let the steam ecosystem further exert itself, and by that time we can almost commence the great ceremony of the God-Slaying Expedition!"

In his thoughts, Ta Ke sank into the depths of the Foreign Black Mist, heading toward the location of the Four-Tusk Elephant Realm Ship, rushing swiftly.
