"Who is it?!"

From the center of the explosion came Ashtar’s furious and shocked roar.

When the light and heat faded, Chu Xiu finally noticed that Ashtar’s chest had been pierced by the Bronze Spear!

This made Chu Xiu both surprised and delighted. Although he couldn’t figure out what had happened, he didn’t hesitate for a second and accelerated towards the direction of his Domain to escape.

As long as he entered the Domain, with the blessing of the Civilization Domain and the Power of Civilization he had accumulated, he would have a slim chance of escaping from Ashtar’s grasp.

Ashtar stood rooted in place, his face grim. A massive surge of blood light continuously streamed from his body, and under the corrosion of that blood light, the Spiritual Light on the Bronze Spear quickly dimmed.

"Crack."

With a soft sound, the Bronze Spear embedded in Ashtar’s chest crumbled to dust and disappeared.

However, even though the spear was shattered, the solemn expression on Ashtar’s face didn’t diminish in the slightest.

Because he realized an extremely strange power was entering his body from the spear, constantly ravaging his physique!

"This is... the Power of God!"

His expression became extremely unsightly as he looked gloomily in the direction Chu Xiu had escaped. After hesitating there for a while, he snorted coldly and gave chase to Chu Xiu.

But this time, he did not transform into blood light again. After advancing some distance, he slowly stopped at the edge of Chu Xiu’s civilization, without stepping in.

At the center of the civilization, Chu Xiu was watching him from afar. At this distance, even if Ashtar forcibly stormed into the Domain, it would be enough for Chu Xiu to escape.

Standing beside Chu Xiu was another demigod, Vengeance!

The two of them were watching Ashtar, as if facing a great enemy.

Under the joint watch of both, Ashtar’s voice sounded extremely gloomy as he began to speak: "Very good, I didn’t expect you to find a God daring to offend my master to back you so quickly."

"No wonder you had the courage to return to this world!"

"But do you really think this can stop me?"

"This Bronze Spear cannot kill me. Do you think the ally, miles away, who dared to rescue you once, will do it a second time?"

Ashtar’s words left Chu Xiu puzzled; he had no idea he had such backing?

They both didn’t know that this was actually an extremely coincidental misunderstanding.

The spear was thrown by the King of Bronze, and its purpose was to kill Chu Xiu, who had been ruining his plans!

Back then, the King of Bronze wanted to use the Ancient God Relic to erode Su Jinyu’s consciousness and make her one of his deputies, but Chu Xiu saved her, and in anger, he threw that spear.

However, he didn’t know who exactly eliminated his consciousness, but at the moment it was wiped out, he felt the extraordinary nature of the Burning Blood Golden Gaze, identifying it as something at his own level, or close to it.

At that time, the Blood Sea Ritual had just begun, and the Blood Demon had not yet revived, so the King of Bronze naturally deduced that it was done by one of his nemeses, the Outer Realm Demons.

Thus, he targeted those with power akin to the Outer Realm Demons.

The King of Bronze’s thinking was quite simple. Even if he attacked the wrong target, he would only hit those powerful entities coveting this world, so it wouldn’t be a loss.

So, after the spear arrived, it continued patrolling the Corpse Demon World. The moment Ashtar appeared, it sensed his strength and arrived across space.

The King of Bronze knew that this strike could not kill any Outer Realm Demon; this was merely a warning. Since it was a warning, it didn’t matter who was attacked, but they had to be hit hard!

This spear carried his Divine Power, constantly eroding the one it hit. Even an Outer Realm Demon would need to spend a considerable amount of time expelling this power unless they returned to their own planet to heal.

During that time, they would endure relentless, bone-deep pain.

The King of Bronze probably never imagined that his spear intended to kill an enemy, would inadvertently save an enemy’s life.

Chu Xiu naturally couldn’t have thought of this, but he keenly sensed that the situation had changed, so he merely sneered: "If that’s the case, what are you waiting for?"

Ashtar stood there with a grim face, battling the urge to charge into the Domain to fight Chu Xiu, but he held back.

This spear, which carried the warning of the King of Bronze, contained a considerable amount of his destructive Divine Power.

No matter how strong a demigod is, they’re just a demigod! Even the weakest God is still a God!

Between the two, there is an uncrossable chasm.

Even Ashtar was only barely suppressing his injuries.

To rid himself of the influence of the King of Bronze’s power would take months, even a year! And that’s with the Blood Sea Ritual in place, providing ample Blood Energy for him to use!

This is the tremendous gap between a God and a demigod!

But if he missed this chance, Chu Xiu would certainly never enter the Blood Sea World again, and even if he destroyed Chu Xiu’s civilization, he couldn’t complete the task assigned by the Blood Pool!

Thinking of this, Ashtar took a deep breath and slowly started speaking:

"You’re Chu Xiu, right? I have a colossal opportunity for you here."

"The question is, do you have the guts to take it?"
