One Sword Breaks the Flow!

Astrid snorted coldly, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes.

Besides the rules they personally wield, gods usually also possess two forms of authority, namely [Domain] and [True Form].

The power of gods is immense, far beyond what a small body can contain, most gods’ true forms are at least several thousand meters tall, with some large enough to rival an entire planet!

Although he revealed his [True Form], it was merely an illusion, yet even an illusion of a god is not so easily cleaved.

"No wonder my lord values this child so highly, it is indeed a talent not seen for millennia."

"What a pity..."

Astrid licked her lips.

As the Divine Envoy favored by the Blood Pool, she too was a genius among geniuses, inevitably feeling competitive towards Chu Xiu, who possessed even greater talent.

She was constantly jealous of those whose talents surpassed hers, but she could only suppress this jealousy, as a Divine Envoy, she could not act against the godly will.

Yet Chu Xiu recklessly unlocked his chains personally, handing the blade to her!

"Since it’s like this, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

With a flip of her wrist, Astrid summoned a vast Sea of Blood from above, transforming the tens of miles around Chu Xiu into a Blood Realm composed entirely of fresh blood!

Even as Chu Xiu simultaneously resisted with his six domains, he felt immense resistance from all directions, making every step difficult!

She then took a step forward, instantly enveloped by dense blood light, like a crimson meteor speeding towards Chu Xiu!

Her speed was unimaginably fast, while Chu Xiu was shackled by the Sea of Blood, the Garuda in front of Astrid was like comparing a car to a bicycle!

With the blood light rapidly approaching from behind, Chu Xiu was terribly anxious, he slapped his Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, and the Blood Demon Incarnation appeared beside him!

"What does my lord summon me for? I was consolidating my realm..."

Before Rasputin could finish speaking, he felt the rapidly approaching blood light and the sticky Sea of Blood surrounding them, and couldn’t help but shout in fright: "Lord! Who have you provoked?"

Before Chu Xiu could speak, Rasputin glanced at the blood curtain around them and seemed to realize something, his expression instantly becoming horrified: "Lord, did you offend the Blood Pool???"

"Enough nonsense," Chu Xiu roared, his mana within surging, Sword Qi continuously cleaving the Sea of Blood before him!

Rasputin also realized the urgency, hesitating not at all, a multitude of blood vessels emerged from his body, pouring into Garuda’s body!

Receiving the energy of a Heroic Spirit, Garuda cried out crisply and accelerated instantly!

Blood light also emerged around it, seemingly originating from the same source as Astrid’s summoned blood curtain, in the sea it swam slowly, but with Rasputin’s help, it was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, its speed greatly increased!

Though Rasputin usually seemed unreliable, he was after all ranked as the foremost Blood Demon! He was indeed exceptional!

Yet despite breaking free from the Sea of Blood’s shackles, Astrid’s speed remained far greater than Garuda’s!

In the blink of an eye, even several thousand meters of distance became negligible under such insane speed! A single breath was all it took to close half the gap!

This made Chu Xiu extremely anxious, but he could do nothing but push Garuda to its limits! Even with the dual empowerments of the Blood Demon Incarnation and Divine-Demonic Power, representing speed, the godly bird’s body was approaching its limit, ready to disintegrate at any moment!

However, even so, the distance between the two continued to rapidly close!

Seeing Astrid closing in to within a thousand meters, Chu Xiu did not hesitate at all, directly unleashing all the power of the Divine Living Armor!

The Pain Domain expanded toward the surroundings, simultaneously four Painful Divine Attendants of Heroic Spirit tier appeared beside Chu Xiu, dressed in exquisite black Plate Armor, faces clad in Binding Helmets, wielding Fine Swords in their hands, like four nimble Martial Artists, charging toward Astrid!

Their combined attack could momentarily halt even a demigod!

Yet Astrid made no defensive move whatsoever, but as the blood light erupted, she forcefully devoured the four divine attendants’ attack, shattering even their bodies!

This sight left Chu Xiu even more appalled!

Faced with such power, even with the Divine Living Armor’s empowerment, a constitution exceeding ten thousand, he had not the slightest ability to resist!

This reminded Chu Xiu of a saying he had heard, due to the arduous and challenging path to godhood, the gap between demigods could be wider than that between humans and dogs!

With a bitter smile, Chu Xiu felt this encounter would require using the [Deep Diving Safety Rope], when returning to the Corpse Demon World, he naturally anticipated possible targeting by the Blood Pool, but with a surge in his own power and acquisition of a Divine Artifact, he assumed self-preservation was assured, yet unexpectedly, Astrid as a Divine Envoy possessed power far exceeding his expectations!

"Let this be a lesson, in all future ventures into the Abyss, caution must be exercised," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Of course, he would not sit idly awaiting death, he lightly shouted, gripping Chiwen firmly with both hands, preparing to confront Astrid with one strike before departure!

Just as he resolved to fight a decisive battle, suddenly, without warning, a tear opened in the void, and a Bronze Spear shot rapidly from it!

"Boom!"

Astrid collided heavily with the spear, forming an unimaginably massive explosion at the site! Space around her seemed twisted, terrifying energy releasing towards the surroundings amidst deafening roars, the Sea of Blood spanning tens of kilometers surged violently under this impact, like a tsunami was triggered!
