Xie Luo led thousands of gods, preparing to crush the Chihuang Flowing Flame God System in a grand, overwhelming assault.

The entire operation was being broadcast live.

His arrogant face was projected across the entire deity space.

"Open the spatial gate! Let the other gods witness the might of the Haoran gods!!!"

"Yes, Lord Scorpio!"

The six peak god-level deities responded in unison.

The upper god-tier treasure in his grasp began to surge with power.

Space was passively torn open.

A brand-new world revealed itself before them.

On the other side stood Chihuang Liuyan.

One step was all it would take to strike.

Xie Luo’s face was filled with murderous intent. He was clearly ready to kill — and the Half-Step Supreme artifact in his hand rippled with killing intent.

The gods watching the live broadcast caught their first glimpse of a Half-Step Supreme Artifact.

The terrifying pressure was palpable even through the screen.

It was a grotesque skeletal scythe. The tail was a skull and a serpent’s tail. The long handle was carved from watchful eyes at every turn. The most shocking thing was the blade itself — it was nothing but a shadow. No matter how sharp one’s vision, one could not perceive its edge.

"My god... A treasure of this caliber could cut through even a Creation God with a single stroke. And it contains countless Laws of Shadows within it..."

"Is this the Half-Step Supreme Artifact? Something like this could kill a Creation God-level existence with one blow, couldn’t it?"

It contained the Law of Shadows. Its appearance alone was stunning — and because it had no true physical form, there were countless abilities no one could fathom.

This time, Chihuang Flowing Flame was finished. Their strongest weapon was merely a Creation God-tier long sword. How could it possibly compare to a Half-Step Supreme artifact?

"I think Chi Huang Liuyan is going to betray Liu Che. This is no longer a dispute over doctrinal authority — it’s about saving face..."

"Yeah, it makes sense. The Haoran God System hasn’t just lost face — they want to bury Liu Che in this world."

"If Liu Che doesn’t show up, he can still escape."

"But Chihuang Flowing Flame is done for."

"Will the master behind Chihuang show up instead? Selling out Chihuang Flowing Flame is just a stopgap measure. Now we’ll see if Chihuang can summon ancient artifacts to force the mastermind to act."

"You can’t put it that way. The Domination has restrictions on intervention. At the deity-space level, Domination can only act once a year. I remember — not long after Liu Che won the Battle of the Gods, ten months had just passed..."

"Let’s see how it plays out. Guessing until the last moment is pointless..."

Unlike the previous battle, when Liu Che had used technique and cunning to destroy the Haoran God System, this time the opponent had marshaled their full strength. The gap between the two sides had been drastically narrowed.

The moment space rippled, Xie Luo twisted the scythe in his hand and strode toward the spatial gate.

Boom—

Just as he was one step away—

A pagoda-like object shot out and struck Xie Luo’s body.

The latter didn’t even have time to react.

His body was shattered to ribbons. The Half-Step Supreme artifact in his grasp was crushed to powder by the aftershock.

This scene shocked every watching god to the core.

"A... Supreme Artifact!!!"

Only a true Supreme Artifact could shatter a Half-Step Supreme scythe in a single blow.

The terrifying shockwave swept across the entire Haoran God System.

The gods watching the broadcast hadn’t even recovered from their shock when they saw countless fragments of corpses hurtling into the depths of the starry sky.

"God in heaven! Liu Che made his move!!!"

"Damn — that strike... it shocked the ages!!!"

"Whoever said the Willow God had no backing? I’ll crush whoever said that! That’s the Supreme Artifact pagoda!!!"

"The Law of Speed? What a joke in front of God Liu..."

"Time and space are being manipulated — Liu Shen seems to be the reincarnation of some great ruler!!!"

...

Yet it also awakened the master of the Haoran God System.

The dark sky was torn open by an enormous hand, and the master finally made his move.

"Dare to kill my disciple?! Boy, you’re courting death!!!"

That great hand shattered time and space. All of existence was under his control.

Those flying fragments of flesh — under the influence of that stellar hand — frantically gathered back together, reforming into their original shape.

This was the horror of the Law of Time.

But—

Just when the Haoran master thought he had saved the divine remnants, a quiet voice rang out across the plane of the gods.

The sound was extremely crisp. If one strained to listen carefully, there was nothing at all.

What was cracking?

The gods turned toward the domain of the Haoran God System.

They saw that Xie Luo had not truly resurrected. He still wore that expression of shock, as if time itself had frozen halfway through.

"Old dog — don’t think that just because you’re in the upper realm, you can affect this place. You want to rebuild your [censored] system? Did you ever ask ME?"

Liu Che’s voice came from nowhere.

But it shattered Haoran’s heart.

Because Xie Luo died again.

Starting from his head, black silk threads shattered one by one, like a spider’s web spreading rapidly across his face.

"This!!! This power is DESTINY!!!"

"My god — no wonder Liu Che dared to act! He actually comprehended the Law of Causal Destiny!!"

"The ultimate nemesis of time itself — this is the power the gods fear most. The power of causality... Is Liu Che the ruler of the causal system?"

"It is said that even the master himself does not possess this kind of power."

Manipulate cause and effect.

Change fate and luck.

If one who had mastered this Law killed a certain god — then that god was fated to die.

Once this Law was established, unless the Law of Destiny itself ceased to exist, or a stronger force intervened in fate — the slain [censored] would remain dead forever.

This was the situation with Xie Luo and the others.

But what the watching gods had not yet seen was this:

The six Creation God-tier figures — their divine foundations had been completely severed. They vanished without a trace.

The great hand in the sky above did not expect such a scene.

Furious immediately, he traced the direction of the voice and struck out.

As a result — the Sea Eye of the Chaos Sea opened.

Tens of thousands of sea [censored] beasts launched a frantic assault on Haoran’s master.

"Damn brat — you dare to plant seeds in me!!!"

"Pathetic, furious old dog. You think you can find me? Don’t hold your breath — even if you gave it your best shot, you’d never locate Lao Tzu."

"He... he... well then... worthy of youth and vigor. I’ll be here waiting. One day you’ll come to the upper realm — and then we’ll settle accounts properly."

The sky was continuously healing under its natural operation.

Haoran’s allotted time to act had expired.

He had no choice but to retreat.

But his harsh words, heard by others, came across as nothing but the bluster of an impotent, furious old dog.
