Everyone was a bit dumbfounded.
The era dominated by Emperor Tiansheng had just ended, and the prodigies and geniuses of this generation had begun to vie for dominance on the Divine Path once more.
True to form, a brutal struggle for ascendancy commenced.
But...
Almost no one anticipated the sudden emergence of the True God Era!
Previously, everyone thought that this martial arts continent had long since expelled all foreign races... everyone was on the same path, which was long.
Yet, unexpectedly, remnants of other races on the martial arts continent had taken a shortcut.
An all-conquering true deity has come to reign over the world.
"Bitter Void! Bitter Race..."
Both the name and the race were largely unknown.
It's imaginable how deeply they've hidden themselves, lying dormant until the Emperor's passing and Emperor Tiansheng's fall, only to emerge as a butterfly today.
"A foreign demigod, merely the weak Bitter Race."
"We should join forces!"
"Perhaps, what seems like the Bitter Race is indeed a visitor from Outer Heaven, a high-dimensional civilization overlooking us in secrecy, descending upon us to rule over us."
Countless demigods, originally vying for the next Great Emperor's position, united against a common enemy.
"A True God achieved with Four Rings, we surpassed Four Rings long ago, in our ranks, such a level is mid to low, even as a True God, wouldn't be much stronger."
The foreign invaders struck, and the martial sanctuaries of the entire Divine Domain erupted in an instant.
In each Holy Land, terrifying demigod auras, and Great Emperor Divine Weapons refined over millennia began to surge.
"Even the weakest True God is not someone you can rival."
The voice echoed, radiant lights illuminating the heavens, the attacking demigods perished in an instant.
This left everyone in shock.
"My heavens! He's too fierce!! Aurora, we better pack up and flee, a True God has emerged, that's a genuine deity."
In a teahouse, Sylvie was shocked, continuously assessing the combat power:
"Obviously, a total trash, yet after breaking through the Four Rings, now his apparent combat power has reached as high as Forty Rings."
"Hard power has increased tenfold, and that's not even considering the innate traits of his breakthrough realm."
Each realm has its own terrifying innate abilities.
Legendary Realm, Soul Emergence, Possession Rebirth.
Those weaker than the Legendary Realm can hardly kill the opponent, for they cannot see the soul.
Demigod Realm, distorting all of creation, what's in their sight becomes their people and land.
Lower than demigod realm, one would be distorted with a glance, only equals can resist.
And the Deity Realm?
Those beneath the Deity Realm, beings of lower level might absolutely not be opponents, fearing some other terrifying capability.
It's not a matter of comparing hard power.
A realm, a life dimension!
Aurora nodded as well, beginning to flee:
"We might as well return to His Majesty's side! We've played here for hundreds of years, wasting our lifespans, better to return."
...
On the other side, Minis was also silently observing.
His original intention was to use a True God's backup plan only if he couldn't win.
After all, the side effects were significant.
He himself might be killed, unexpectedly someone was lurking here and appeared on their own.
Truly, circumstances are unpredictable.
"Combat power stronger than when the three of us were together..."
Minis continuously assessed, continuously observed:
"Originally just a waste that could be crushed with one hand, struggling even within the same realm, yet after breaking through, able to reach this level, ten times the combat power, meaning the more accumulated, the greater the qualitative change after a breakthrough."
"I knew coming here wouldn't bring good." said the Holy Dragon.
Minis chuckled, "Anyway, the attack is here, irrelevant to us, let's see how the Emperor responds, though with his indifferent disposition, he might not take action, considering the power character of a deity is still unknown, he's brave but not reckless."
As soon as Minis finished speaking, a figure appeared in the sky.
It turned out to be the Emperor.
"Why did he appear, not in line with his character." Minis exclaimed: "No, he has left something in the shadows, capable of rebirth."
"However, my magic has also undergone innovation."
He sat cross-legged, suddenly slicing a strand of consciousness, also seizing into the fray:
"I'll divide a wisp of soul as well, to join this commotion, see how he takes a beating, and use words to escalate their battle, borrowing a knife to kill."
...
Indeed, the Emperor appeared.
All these years, he ignored the Martial Arts Era, believing in the natural High-tier Dao, but seeing Yang Tiansheng's final words, that fervor and desire somewhat moved him.
Perhaps his state of mind changed somewhat after that moment.
Although he still liked to seclude himself reading books, deducing martial paths, he began to pay some attention to the real world era.
"Emperor, you're still alive!" Bitter Void turned his head, utterly surprised.
The man before him was tall, with smooth black hair cascading over his shoulders, a rugged and handsome face, gazing at the deities in front, "If it were in the past, perhaps I wouldn't have shown up."
The Emperor felt the power in front of him.
After the breakthrough, his power surged tenfold, roughly equivalent to a combat power of four rings.
This power was a huge leap compared to the previous time he challenged the three wizard worlds' encirclements.
But now, with his ever-increasing combat power, it's not that he's unable to fight.
And the most alarming is the True God-level power characteristic.
"Just right, I want to avenge the massacre of my family back then!" Bitter Void, the elderly man with white hair, laughed,
Crack!
At this moment, a gigantic Tree-man grew from the distant ground.
Trees covered the sky, extracting nutrients from the earth and mountains, as well as the corpses of those demigods who had just perished.
Eventually, the trees coalesced into a youth with an androgynous aura, tall and of sharp ears.
"Sure enough, you're here."
The Emperor snorted coldly.
"I'm just observing."
Minis nodded, "Incidentally, to ensure the fairness of the battle, I drained the corpses on the ground to prevent either of you from using the Absorption Technique to recover power during this fight, which would be unfair to this great deity. I am a fair judge."
"Indeed, you understand fairness and justice." The Emperor nodded, not annoyed at being calculated against, merely saying this.
Minis turned his head again, looking at the Bitter Race deities in front of him, observing for a moment, and then looked down with a contemptuous gaze,
"This race is indeed weak, on par with the lowest Iron Level Martial Arts, Iron Body Technique, becoming deities is just that."
"Saying so much, I thought you were going to take action." The Emperor's gaze chilled slightly.
"Three hours."
That gigantic Tree-man extended three fingers, "If in three hours you can't defeat him, I might consider helping."
The Emperor's expression remained calm, "Three hours is too much face for him, a third-rate Iron Body Technique is nothing but something to be beaten."
"A bug becomes a deity is still a bug deity, with no potential whatsoever."
"The fear is only of the unknown characteristics of a deity."
Bitter Void was enraged hearing these two ignoring him, the protagonist of the story.
He had been enduring, secretly gathering strength for years, suffering unknown hardships to make it to today.
How could just two demigods humiliate him like this?
Boom!
Bitter Void suddenly struck out.
But the Emperor before him vanished from the spot.
Immediately after, Bitter Void felt his body assaulted by countless attacks, battering his entire body, every joint, every inch of skin.
"You~!" Bitter Void's movements couldn't keep up at all.
The Emperor slightly frowned, his form suddenly returned to the distance, "The characteristic of the Bitter Race is the Iron Body Technique, hard enough, but such a useless characteristic completed the Life Map, surprisingly hard, very impressive... yet still very slow, still a punching bag."
Bitter Void felt a chill in his heart.
The strongest of this era was only about Ten Rings.
In terms of raw power, he was already equivalent to a demigod of Forty Rings, yet he was still beaten to the point of being unable to react by this Emperor.
The Emperor definitely wasn't Forty Rings.
The current Martial Path, at most, was a Life Map built by a dozen or so rings.
"A bit troublesome, the Emperor's techniques are indeed incomprehensible domains. Moreover, I never practiced techniques, having only the realm, following the previous path."
"I shouldn't have been so bold, without fully transforming the Divine Body's energy reserves, just coming out."
"But who could have expected that such a monster could still challenge gods with a mortal body?"
Bitter Void took a deep breath, "I can only use that move now."
Suddenly, the body of the deity old man began to throb constantly, become blurred, more refined... the body became streamlined.
It even became more precise, a terrifying aura breeding and accumulating, as if some inhuman metamorphosis was occurring on his body.
"Turns out to be a useless god."
The Emperor's attention was entirely drawn by the opponent's body, "He has finally started employing the characteristics belonging to deities, it seems, exceptional."
Minis nodded,
"Yes, his body's resolution has increased, becoming more precise, every skin and cell is a gear, even precise to the molecular level of biological structures, this precision degree, if truly made a comparison, within an inch of a cell, could fit ten thousand wizard staffs."
"However, it seems he is a half-baked product, insufficient to maintain this state of divinity for long... it seems Life Map is too few, leading to a breakthrough yet still a useless god."
Bitter Void ignored their mockery, which was to strike his heart and disturb his will, instead, his entire aura suddenly shook open.
"Courting death!"
Bitter Void pointed a finger, and his body became majestic with a terrifying aura.
He surprisingly emitted terrible rays, instantly igniting the entire Tree-man, and instantly evaporating most of the Emperor's body.
The destructive power of this casual strike left everyone stunned.
He stood upon the corpses of the Emperor and the Tree-man.
He said indifferently, "So weak, could only move their lips."
