"Ashtar."

Chu Xiu gripped his sword with both hands, his expression grave.

Beside him, Asura looked utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened, but when the Sword Qi dissipated, he saw the man who seemed unscathed under Chu Xiu’s full-force attack, his face showing extreme shock.

Chu Xiu had already grown strong enough to astonish him, so how powerful would someone be who could effortlessly take a sword strike from Chu Xiu?

"I didn’t expect you to dare return to this world," Ashtar said with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Chu Xiu as if watching a reckless gambler who didn’t know his limits.

"Do you think deceiving a Supreme Deity won’t cost you anything?"

Deceiving a Supreme Deity???

As those words fell, Asura’s face displayed an even more incredulous expression.

Was this Supreme Deity a genuine Supreme Deity, or was he like himself, merely someone whose rank was close to a deity and self-proclaimed as one?

If it were the former... that would be terrifying!

Not to mention him, even for most Heroic Spirits, and even demigods, there are no channels to contact a deity, let alone a Supreme Deity.

And yet, Chu Xiu dared to deceive a Supreme Deity???

Before he could react to what was going on in his mind, with no words to spare, Chu Xiu summoned Garuda beneath him, transformed into a golden light, and sprinted away!

However, Ashtar only sneered coldly, reaching forward with a gentle grasp.

With just that simple motion, an extremely terrifying scene unfolded the next moment: countless sharp blood spikes pierced out of Chu Xiu’s body as if all the blood within him had solidified into sharp spikes and then speared outward!

This scene frightened Asura to the point of fleeing in the opposite direction from Chu Xiu, just hoping that the terrifying man on the other side hadn’t noticed him.

He felt that his prideful Divine Power, in front of that man, was like an ant that could be casually crushed!

Ashtar merely gave a slight glance at Asura before turning his gaze back.

In his sight, Chu Xiu was now entirely penetrated by his own blood, with his Five Viscera stabbed through and through!

There was even a blood spike stretching from his throat upward, nearly piercing through Chu Xiu’s brain through the nasal cavity!

Yet, unfortunately, it was ultimately blocked by the skull.

"This kid is indeed bizarre. Even at King Tier, how has his physical strength reached such levels?"

Ashtar frowned slightly.

In the past, this move of his would instantly kill demigod-tier beings unless they had a constitution strong enough!

However, it did not matter to him.

If one strike couldn’t obliterate him, then there would be a second strike.

He raised his hand again, nearly invisible blood rays danced between his fingers, and his fingers curled as if about to crush Chu Xiu’s heart from a distance!

But just then, a buzzing erupted in the scene! A phantom dark-red region rapidly expanded with Chu Xiu at its center!

Ashtar looked dismissively: "A crude domain, what can it... how are there so many?"

Ashtar slightly froze, one, two, three, four, five... in just a moment, Chu Xiu directly unfolded six domains!

Although most were very crude and just made up the numbers, the sheer quantity couldn’t be ignored!

This caused Ashtar to frown slightly, using domains to counteract Law, which indeed was a very effective means, but he hadn’t expected Chu Xiu to know this.

And what was more bizarre was that a dark green Heavy Armor appeared on Chu Xiu at this time, from the gaps of which flesh and blood continuously surged out, mending Chu Xiu’s wounds!

Ashtar could sense that the domain activated by that Heavy Armor was almost stronger than the other five domains combined! Moreover, upon it, he sensed the aura of a supreme entity, and that unique Divine Power greatly interfered with his Law Power.

"Ha, found a new master so quickly?"

"Damn it!"

Killing intent surged in Ashtar’s eyes as he waved his hand. In the next moment, at a distant horizon, a Sea of Blood hung upside down, pouring down!

Chu Xiu watched with shock as the phantom of the Sea of Blood suddenly appeared before him. Saying it’s a phantom, yet he couldn’t discern any difference between it and a real one, as if a true Sea of Blood was blocking his front!

The sea was so vast beyond belief, occupying almost the entire visible sky. Even when Chu Xiu extended his Divine Sense to its utmost, he could not find the Sea of Blood’s edge!

And now, in the center of the Sea of Blood, a crack seemed to form, pouring a wall-like torrent of blood, creating a massive blood screen in front of Chu Xiu!

"Is this supposed to be a demigod?" Chu Xiu couldn’t help but curse.

In the past, it was always others who said to him, "Is this King Tier?" But this time, it was finally Chu Xiu’s turn to be shocked.

This terrifying Power, whether it manifested as Law Power injuring him from thousands of meters away or the unbelievably massive energy level Sea of Blood before him, far exceeded any demigod he had encountered!

This Divine Envoy was definitely of Celestial King Level strength!

"Now you know fear?" Ashtar sneered coldly.

Chu Xiu took a deep breath, hesitated no further, and directly activated the power of the [Divine Living Armor] on his body to the maximum! And initiated the Sacrifice of Pain!

Instantly, a full sixty thousand points of Power amplified onto him, almost doubling Chu Xiu’s constitution!

He gripped Chiwen tightly, letting Artifact Origin and Divine-Demonic Power surge wildly. With a loud shout, he fearlessly struck with full force towards the Sea of Blood before him!

"Boom!!!"

The overpowering Sword Qi heavily cleaved into the Sea of Blood, forcefully splitting the massive Sea of Blood apart!
