Before the defense minister could respond, the magnificent lightsaber had already flown towards the Transmission Array on its own, moving with incredible efficiency at the speed of light.
WHOOSH!
The Transmission Array shattered instantly, followed by the collapse of the space tunnel.
"To think the mortal realm still possesses such an advanced Magic Artifact. This is an impressive sword. It belongs to now!" a voice suddenly rang out.
Imdiately, a divine incarnation erged from within the space tunnel. The deity smiled with satisfaction and reached out to grab it. Its speed seed far slower than the lightsaber's, yet it grasped the blade with ease, as if the sword had willingly fallen into its hand.
「Palace.」
The elderly man remotely controlling the holy sword had been the picture of calm confidence, radiating an overwhelming aura.
"This is bad!" Sensing the holy sword was locked in the grasp of a powerful entity and unable to break free, his expression changed drastically. He slamd his head violently against the surrounding stones. Blood gushed from the wound and was absorbed by the stones.
Imdiately, a powerful suction force emanated from the hole the sword had made, attempting to pull the lightsaber back. However, the blade remained motionless.
"It's not enough! Not enough! Still not enough! All of you, offer your blood! Quickly!" the elderly man roared.
The other hooded figures imdiately followed his lead, slamming their heads against the stones without a mont's hesitation. The scene was grueso.
"To hell with it!" The defense minister was a ruthless man himself. Not caring if the blood of an ordinary person like him would be effective, he gritted his teeth and took the lead, slamming his head against a stone.
His subordinates quickly followed suit. To save their compatriots, to save Arica, they held nothing back.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
The divine incarnation's grip was too steady. No matter how much the lightsaber struggled, it was futile.
Just as this deity was happily claiming the lightsaber and planning to rebuild the Transmission Array, another divine incarnation appeared. It declared that all who witnessed it deserved a share and demanded the sword.
The two faced off, sparks flying. Before they could even begin to fight, another appeared. Then another... and another. Soon, several divine incarnations were present. They didn't even bother with verbal spars and went straight to fighting over the sword.
Clearly, the lightsaber was so precious that all of them coveted it. Even a matter as important as invading the mortal realm was temporarily cast aside.
They made no effort to evade satellite surveillance, so many people witnessed the battle, looking at each other in disbelief.
"Is this... infighting?"
"Infighting is good! I hope they beat each other's brains out and a few of them die..."
"What a sha. The holy sword that belonged to our mortal realm has been stolen by them. What do we have left to fight back with?"
"I really don't understand what the mysterious entities protecting our mortal realm are thinking. They ignore the monsters from the Underworld, and now they aren't even tempted to snatch such a powerful holy sword?"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
After sensing the lightsaber's aura, the mortal realm's own gods and Earth Immortals finally began to appear. First one, then a second, then a third...
In the blink of an eye, the total number of divine incarnations from both the Underworld and the mortal realm broke into the double digits. Among them were familiar faces who had dealt with Lin Tang to varying degrees, such as the Eye of Truth, the Shadow Master, and the Skull God.
They fought over the lightsaber because of its significant origins and truly astonishing power. It was capable of causing substantial harm even to their true bodies. They would rather seize it for themselves than let it fall into the hands of another god. Even if they couldn't obtain it, they would prefer to destroy it, ensuring no one could have it.
The divine incarnations were terrifying. A single move could shatter mountains and make the heavens themselves change color. As the group plunged into a chaotic lee, their simultaneous attacks turned the world upside down, causing magma to spew from the ground. Destruction followed in their wake, leaving the planet's surface a scarred and devastated wasteland.
When the divine incarnation holding the lightsaber was staggered by the combined attack of several other gods, its grip loosened. The lightsaber seized the opportunity to shoot away.
"You think you can escape?" a few of the gods sneered, teleporting as they reached for it.
A trendous suction force pulled at the lightsaber, causing its speed to drop sharply as more deities gave chase.
And so, their high-speed chase brought them to another city in the blink of an eye.
The people in the city stared in horror. They had just survived one disaster and were in the middle of celebrating. Is another catastrophe upon us already?
"Why?! Why?! Why?! Just because we're weak, you can treat us like toys? Weren't you all human once? Why must you be so cruel to us!"
"I won't accept this! I refuse to accept this!"
Under the destructive shockwaves of the gods' battle, skyscrapers toppled one after another. Countless people scread and wailed, letting out final, tragic cries in the monts before their deaths.
BANG!
The lightsaber was knocked down again, hurtling towards the city below. At the sa ti, nurous divine incarnations fired beams of light at it, unconcerned if the entire city was destroyed in the process.
Suddenly, in the center of a city plaza, space itself began to fluctuate.
The next mont, a dazzling, seven-colored light flashed, revealing a miniature cloud about a ter wide.
On the cloud stood Lin Tang's incarnation, wearing the face of Long Tianji. An ethereal, immortal aura that he had not yet fully absorbed surrounded him, giving him an exceptionally transcendent appearance.
Sensing sothing, he looked up. His eyes fell upon the fleeing lightsaber, which was being hunted like a rat in the street.
He instinctively reached out and plucked it from the air.
He injected his True Qi, which was infused with immortal energy, into the blade.
BOOM!
A force even more majestic than the one unleashed by the sword at its full initial charge erupted, forming a pillar of light that shot upward. It collided head-on with the beams fired by the divine incarnations. The opposing forces locked in a struggle for several breaths before both pillars of light annihilated each other simultaneously.
