Chapter 517: Star Skeleton Evil God! Fell!

Gurgle……

Twisted viscous bubbles clung to the rock walls, the dome, and the swamp interior.

Inside the fantastical layer pieced together from mountains, swamps, lakes, deserts, rainforests, and plateaus.

Above the desolate, icy, hollow canopy.

Star Skeleton Evil God!

Giant Nest Pillar God!

Dark Sun Evil God!

They each occupied their own corners of the canopy ecosystem.

Woo woo woo……

After the icy, piercing cold wind swept by.

How confident they were in the divine war annihilation ritual back then, now they regret it just as much.

That sound was like the grim reaper's scythe, and moreover a serrated dull blade, torturing them to a fate worse than death.

The foreign black mist ecology that once could give them some echo and ecological faith blessings is now also cold like a night‑curtain prison.

And in the many supernatural worlds outside, when the Green Star Tribe began to build the divine spirit fortress.

But those annihilated divinities can never be made up again.

Ta Ke's offensive not only did not stop, but became even more fierce.

This is the angry roar from the hearts of the three evil gods.

They originally thought they could hold out.

No…… not if……

The outside supernatural worlds are utterly unreliable.

The outer and inner regions were swept clean by Ta Ke's expeditionary forces.

Their strength has plummeted compared to before.

Star Skeleton Evil God!

What remains is a silence like death.

During the steam expedition ecological war spanning over a decade.

The external foreign black mist ecology also gradually became unfamiliar.

At this moment, the three evil gods' auras have stabilized.

The three evil gods' foreign ecology worlds suffered severe destruction in the war.

They can now only defend the inner region with a dead hand.

Nowadays, their foreign ashen star region's divine spirit ecology territory is also unreliable.

The Green Star Tribe's aid to them is dwindling more and more.

Each time the passage's wailing steam surge roared, they felt their divine spirit will tremble slightly.

In Ta Ke·La Mo Er's ongoing war offensive.

They repaired the cracks in the divine spirit crown caused by the divine punishment annihilation ritual war.

At the same time!

A full seven or eight years' time.

The other two have only just over three hundred level left.

Not to mention that the outside supernatural worlds are unreliable.

They have already been utterly destroyed by Ta Ke's steam ecological offensive in the expedition process.

Originally, they were all just over three hundred thirty level.

The situation gradually started to feel off.

As for their holy spirits below, they have long since suffered heavy casualties.

This…… is what they worry about the most!

Having successively destroyed the outer and inner layers of their ecological nests, now in the core region they are constantly being pressed and beaten by Ta Ke.

"Damn Ta Ke, doesn't he ever need to rest?"

Nowadays, the Dark Sun God's level has already dropped to three hundred ten.

But as time passes.

If the Green Star Tribe abandons them……

If it were only that initial battle, they wouldn't have suffered such severe loss.

But after that initial battle, Ta Ke clearly saw their weakness and then directly launched a merciless, fierce offensive that has continued to this day without ever stopping.

With their perception of the outside world blocked, the three evil gods are now like blind men with their eyes open.

Giant Nest Pillar God!

Dark Sun Evil God!

The three evil gods have already felt what.

Silence…… like death spreading!

In silence.

Woo woo woo————

The steam surge arose, faintly echoing at the end of the core region "Evil God Wasteland" in the foreign ashen star area.

Then the steam surge sound grew louder and louder.

It even had the trend of sweeping the entire world.

Clang… clang…

A rhythmically thundering steam train with purple scythe blades, like a ferocious steam behemoth, barreled into the deepest part of the evil god's lair, unabashed!

At the same time.

The three great evil gods opened their eyes simultaneously.

Within their pupils lay both twisted, maddened killing intent and the trembling of divine will.

The death scythe of eternity about to end, bright and glaring, hung above their heads.

Ta Ke La Mo Er!

The weak, pitiful fellow who once fled in panic and hid everywhere under their power.

Now, he must personally conduct their downfall ceremony!

How could they not tremble at this?

"Ta Ke…"

A roar filled with endless rage and madness, roaring, transformed into the blade of a forbidden curse and swept forward.

Chit chit chit…

Dense and countless, like a raging storm, endless massive blood‑black wind blades thundered down upon the evil god's wasteland and upon Ta Ke's steam train.

But this time!

The steam train, however, is not as easily destroyed as before.

Ta Ke's steam train, empowered by astral projection, benefits both from the ancient artifact Divine Shadow Cloak and from cosmic astral forces, granting nearly two hundred times the defensive boost.

The current steam eco‑train is completely different from the previous one.

Bearing this divine‑curse attack.

The steam train barrels forward; no one can stop it!

The steam eco‑train, following the steam train, recklessly invades the core of the evil god's lair, destroying the crumbling evil god ecosystem everywhere.

"Die!"

Ta Ke whispered a chant.

Three massive purple scythe blades slashed down simultaneously.

The Great Nest Pillar God and the Dark Sun Evil God blocked the strike, being forced back.

But the Star‑Remnant Evil God, its form hazy and flickering, tried to evade the blow.

Resulting in a "chila" sound, the divine body of the Star‑Remnant Evil God was split cleanly in two.

At the cut surface, tiny purple scythe blades were clearly visible.

"Bang bang… howl howl…"

A pumping, heart‑like throb mixed with wails rose from the Star‑Remnant Evil God's ecosystem.

"Huh?"

Ta Ke was startled and looked at the sliced Star‑Remnant Evil God.

Immediately, Ta Ke smiled lightly.

"Interesting, it seems your evil god's divine form has a flaw."

"And my ancient artifact, the Blood‑End Scythe, happens to counter you perfectly, like a natural predator."

"Since that's the case, then you may begin the incision!"

With those words spoken, Ta Ke again wielded the Blood‑End Scythe.

The advantage of a powerful ancient artifact is that even a single item's attack potency rivals a mighty divine curse.

And it delivers continuous divine‑curse assaults.

Chit chit chit…

Seven or eight massive Blood‑End Scythes simultaneously slashed at the Star‑Remnant Evil God.

Within the sliced, hazy nebula outline of the Star‑Remnant Evil God.

It quickly spewed brown nebulae, coalescing into a hemispherical shield.

But these hemispherical shields, just formed, were sliced apart by the astonishingly sharp Blood‑End Scythe.

At this moment, the Blood‑End Scythe not only contained Ta Ke's powerful chaotic rune secrets, but also bore equally potent Star‑Mark runes.

Combined, their cutting ability reached full capacity across all dimensions.

Chit chit chit…

In the blink of an eye, the Star‑Remnant Evil God's nebular form turned into a chunked state, split by Ta Ke into dozens of pieces.

It itself became greatly weakened, and its ecological power was suppressed by Ta Ke to the point of suffocation.

Facing the ancient artifact that completely counters it.

The Star‑Remnant Evil God, at this moment, has no room left to resist.

Having finished the cuts, Ta Ke immediately unleashed a divine‑curse calamity blood flame, fiercely spewing and scorching the Star‑Remnant God.

While Ta Ke launched a fierce assault on the Star‑Remnant Evil God.

The other two great evil gods, the Great Nest Pillar God and the Dark Sun Evil God, were also not idle.

More than five divine curses from the two powerful evil gods all struck Ta Ke's steam eco‑train.

The massive Dark Sun Star‑Spiral Divine Curse, the same powerful curse that once attacked Ta Ke's Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Vessel, capable of shaking that vessel.

Dark Sun Annihilation Divine Curse.

Great Pillar Suppression Divine Curse.

Divine Pillar Chain – Imprisonment Divine Curse.

Sequence Star Blaze – Void Annihilation Divine Curse.

So many Divine Spells fell one after another onto the steam ecological train condensed by Ta Ke's projection.

Ta Ke's ecological power and projection outline were shaken continuously.

Some heavily damaged zones under attack even began to crack.

He knew that this round of his projection outline could not last long.

Ta Ke swiftly summoned powerful Divine Spells one after another, continuously releasing them.

Either attacking the restrained Star Remnant Evil God, countering the Giant Nest Pillar God, or delivering a shock of Divine Spells to the Dark Sun Evil God.

Amid the mutual release of various strong Forbidden Spells.

The core area—Evil God Wasteland—whose ecological power was already weak, now was torn apart beyond recognition.

Even some stitched‑in ecological anomalies were smashed and dismembered, their ecological power beginning to dissipate outward.

Boom—boom… Boom—boom…

With a fierce clash of Divine Spells.

Mixed with the collapse of the steam ecology and projection.

The roaring finally faded away slowly.

…

Evil God Wasteland, Heavenly Canopy Star Vault.

Star Remnant Evil God!

Giant Nest Pillar God!

Dark Sun Evil God!

At this moment, two of the three great Evil Gods wore unusually grim expressions, while the third showed no discernible "expression" at all.

The Giant Nest Pillar God and the Dark Sun Evil God were still fine, only lightly wounded.

But the Star Remnant God was far more miserable now.

Suppressed by that overwhelming Ancient Relic, the Star Remnant God was dismembered into a writhing nebular mass.

Divine Spell flames burned intensely inside and out of the mass of Evil God forms, bubbling and hissing.

The unlucky Star Remnant Evil God, though not weak, was suppressed by Ta Ke's Ancient Relic and left powerless.

Although the three great Evil Gods temporarily united to repel Ta Ke's assault, they were all unusually silent now.

The three Evil Gods, oddly clear, knew Ta Ke would soon sweep in again.

After all, they were only killing Ta Ke La Mo Er's projection.

Ta Ke's projection techniques had been famous during the earlier clashes with the Green Star Clan.

This was only the first wave of attack, yet they suffered heavy losses.

And the relentless subsequent attacks by Ta Ke!

Could it be… the death knell… is truly about to toll?

…………

A terrifying eruption of Divine Spell roar from deep within the Evil God zone swept across the entire alien ash‑star region.

Many Chao Shen Da Shi who had long withdrawn, legendary strongmen.

They could only observe from afar, sheltered by the ecology.

Divine Spirits' battle!

The lingering roar transmitted by the Divine Spell already made their hearts tremble.

Any contact with the dissipating Evil God ecological matter would cause instant death.

They knew clearly.

This Divine War!

It was also a crucial battle in the Divine Lord Ta Ke La Mo Er's expedition ritual.

It was also the steam ecology's decisive battle for absolute dominance within the alien black fog ecology.

…………

Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship God Nation!

Above the Divine Stars.

As the demigod star‑phase projection shattered, the demigod star‑phase form's ripples shimmered, swaying and trembling.

Ta Ke strained to stabilize the demigod star‑phase form.

"After all, it's a Divine Spirit‑level powerful being, and it's within the ecological nest, so it still has strength; anyway, I'm fighting three with one."

"Although my projection was shattered, I also severely wounded the Star Remnant Evil God."

"Once it stabilizes for a moment, I can resume projection."

"And… when the alien black fog steam ecology gives me a strong resonance, I will act, to ensure these Evil Gods cannot escape."

With a breath, the demigod star‑phase form stabilized quickly.

When it seemed sufficient, Ta Ke projected again, gathering the steam ecological train to launch a second assault on the three great Evil Gods!

Boom—boom—boom…

The Evil God ecological core zone erupted again with the roar of Divine Spells.

This time.

Ta Ke entered it.

He immediately targeted the previously heavily wounded Star Remnant Evil God.

That unlucky bastard, being suppressed by Ta Ke's Ancient Relic, became Ta Ke's primary focus.

Under the blessing of Eternal Vision.

Divine Curse: Black Hole·Chain·Devourer.

Divine Curse: Chaos·Calamity Blood Flame,

Forbidden Curse: Steam·Light Feather Blade.

Forbidden Curse: Starfall Ring.

Forbidden Curse: Still Nirvana Star Explosion.

Especially the Chaos·Calamity Blood Flame combined with the terrifying Star Explosion.

One wave of explosion could annihilate twenty to thirty percent of the Star Corpse Evil God's divine spirit form.

And the Black Hole·Chain·Devourer further dragged the Star Corpse Evil God's sequence outline, leaving it nowhere to escape.

Bearing the divine curse attacks of the two great evil gods.

Ta Ke poured all of his divine curse power into the Star Corpse Evil God's divine spirit form.

Injuring its ten fingers is not as good as severing one of its fingers.

First eliminate the one thought to be the evil god, then dealing with the other two becomes simple.

When Ta Ke's second wave demigod star phase projection arrives.

That Star Corpse Evil God, although not dead, is basically scrapped.

Soon, Ta Ke stabilized his condition and began the third wave projection.

「Wuu wuu wuu...... 」

As the steam train followed the star phase projection, it again rushed into the tumultuous, heaven-overturning evil god wasteland.

「Huh? 」

Ta Ke immediately sensed something amiss.

That was……the aura of a divine spirit being burned.

Ta Ke gazed into the depths of the evil god's ecosystem.

But he saw the two great evil gods, the Dark Sun Evil God and the Giant Nest Pillar God, driving the scorching burning of the Star Corpse Evil God's remains.

Just as Ta Ke was stunned.

「Roar roar roar...... 」

A terrifying power capable of shaking the entire ecosystem erupted madly from the burning remains of the Star Corpse Evil God, then transformed into a streaming light that crashed into Ta Ke's steam ecological train and into his demigod star phase projection.

「Sizzle sizzle sizzle...... Boom...... 」

Ta Ke's projection held for one or two seconds before directly exploding and collapsing.

Even the terrifying power of the burning evil god directly pierced through part of Ta Ke's steam ecosystem.

「Sizzle sizzle...... 」

Even Ta Ke's main body was affected to a certain extent.

The foul-smelling divine power scorched, permeating the surface of Ta Ke's star phase form, and obliterated part of his demigod-demigod star phase.

「Hmph! 」

Ta Ke let out a cold snort, his body shuddered, and a more intense scorching divine curse blood flame blazed forth, quickly burning away the evil god's source-burning power.

Afterward, Ta Ke proceeded along the steam spirit world star track passage to inspect.

But he saw the evil god's core region at this time.

Fervent source divine power was blazing fiercely.

Whether the entire evil god ecosystem or the aura of the two great evil gods, the Dark Sun Evil God and the Giant Nest Pillar God.

At this moment they all flourished like the rising morning sun.

The Dark Sun Evil God and the Giant Nest Pillar God were indeed devouring and absorbing the Star Corpse Evil God; most importantly, the Star Corpse Evil God actually cooperated with the other two evil gods and even counterattacked Ta Ke.

The evil gods' final frenzied struggle became increasingly unreasonable.

Meanwhile, Ta Ke delicately felt the writhing of the ecosystem's layers, smiling lowly.

「Surely it's a trinity at the ecosystem level? These three fellows are indeed symbionts! 」

Soon, the Star Corpse Evil God met its own death.

「Boom boom boom...... 」

The vast, majestic nebula remnant sequence collapsed over a large area.

Although the Dark Sun Evil God and the Giant Nest Pillar God feasted and swiftly recovered in the Star Corpse Evil God's downfall.

But Ta Ke, who was conducting the expedition ritual, also benefited greatly.

Not only did his divine refinement efficiency surge, but the injuries caused by the earlier projection collapse also recovered rapidly.

Slaying gods is not the goal, but the means, the ritual, the process!

Ultimately, one's own growth is the core!

Therefore.

Facing the node that drives the expedition ritual's progress.

Ta Ke did not disturb it, but rather, like the two evil gods digesting the Star Corpse Evil God,

Ta Ke was also digesting the feedback from this wave of demigod expedition.

And Ta Ke, possessing the «Stairway to Godhood» and «System Source Energy Add», clearly could digest the abundant bestowal brought by a deity's death much faster than the two evil gods.
