Chapter 544: One Month

In a remote corner of the Slaughter Battlefield, the surroundings were silent and deserted. A lone young man stood there quietly.

“I wonder if that Five Elemental Deity from the Demon Race thinks I only escaped because I was lucky?” A smile touched the young man’s lips.

Evidently, this young man was Li Yang.

There was a reason every expert on the Slaughter Battlefield acted with extreme caution.

First, they worried that their opponent’s strength was a facade. A sudden provocation could lead to their own death.

Second, they feared that other experts from their opponent’s race might be lurking nearby.

These two reasons made many Deities hesitant to attack rashly, let alone act like Li Yang, who killed on sight without the slightest reservation.

Li Yang was no fool, but he had absolutely no need for caution. The reason for this, of course, was Soul Ink!

It was no joke—Soul Ink was a Dominator!

A Dominator’s senses were enough to give Li Yang what was essentially a god’s-eye view of the Slaughter Battlefield.

Even an Emperor couldn’t see through Li Yang’s current disguise. But before a Dominator, he couldn’t hide at all. His true form and cultivation realm would be exposed in an instant.

Li Yang was just as exposed before Soul Ink.

And if that was true for Li Yang, it was even more so for the other Deities on the Slaughter Battlefield. Soul Ink could discern a Deity’s exact realm—whether they were a Five Elemental Deity or something else—with a single glance.

Furthermore, the range of Soul Ink’s spiritual senses far surpassed that of any Deity on the Slaughter Battlefield.

For example, when the Demon Race’s Five Elemental Deity, Bolun, had rushed toward him earlier.

Soul Ink spotted him while he was still a great distance away. This allowed Li Yang to retreat at his leisure, even choosing an escape route that moved further away based on Bolun’s trajectory.

Under these circumstances, who could possibly catch Li Yang?

It was as if Li Yang had a god’s-eye view, allowing him to pick and choose his opponents at will.

So, naturally, Li Yang had no reservations. He just killed, killed, and killed!

The Alien and Human Races were mortal enemies to begin with. He had already survived several assassination attempts by the Alien Race back when he was in the Star Lord Realm. Therefore, he felt no burden whatsoever in killing them, no matter the method.

“Soul Ink, thanks,” Li Yang said with a small smile.

That Demon Race Deity could never have imagined that Li Yang literally had a Dominator-level expert with him!

“Li Yang, my boy, just see that you remember your promise,” Soul Ink said coolly.

As for the Fire Element Law, which Li Yang was comprehending the fastest, he had already mastered two of its four profundities and was most of the way through understanding the third.

He was clearly getting closer and closer to breaking through to the Divine Realm.

Once Li Yang became a Deity, Soul Ink could begin the process of his own resurrection.

Therefore, Soul Ink was currently sparing no effort to help Li Yang grow stronger, faster.

“Don’t worry,” Li Yang said with a smile. “You’ve helped me so much. I will absolutely do everything in my power to help you with your resurrection.”

Soul Ink had indeed helped him a great deal on his journey.

“Mm.” Hearing Li Yang’s words, Soul Ink nodded without saying anything further.

He had a great deal of faith in Li Yang’s promise.

After all this time, he had come to understand Li Yang’s character completely. Since Li Yang had given his word, there was no need for him to worry.

As he spoke with Soul Ink, Li Yang looked off into the distance, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

‘The Demon Race sent Five Elemental Deities to kill me, but it’s a shame they still don’t give me any reason to feel threatened!’

‘My current kill count isn’t high enough!’

…

Time flew by, and Li Yang’s killing spree continued.

Somewhere in the void, three Deities from the Alien Race were fleeing for their lives.

“It’s Human Gun! Quick, run!”

“Damn it! That Human Gun has the strength of a Five Elemental Deity and has been hunting us relentlessly. Dozens of Deities have already fallen at his hands!”

“Even several Five Elemental Deities from the Demon Race came after him, but they couldn’t kill him! Human Gun escapes every single time!”

“With his strength, Human Gun should be in the core region of the Slaughter Battlefield, but instead he stays out here just to hunt us! His actions are outrageous!”

The faces of the three Deities were masks of terror.

In this period, “Human Gun” had become a veritable nightmare for the experts of the Alien Race. Every day brought news of another Deity falling by his hand.

According to the reports, “Human Gun” was a Four-Element Deity, but he possessed so many treasures that he could unleash the power of a Five Elemental Deity. He could kill Tri-System Deities with ease, needing only a few attacks.

And all this time, they had been completely powerless against “Human Gun”!

“Haha! Gentlemen, what’s the rush? Wouldn’t it be better to stay and have a nice chat?” Li Yang boomed with laughter.

He swiftly caught up to one of the Tri-System Deities.

“Human!”

Seeing Li Yang close in, the Alien Race Deity roared, “Don’t get cocky! You act so recklessly—one of these days, you’re going to slip up!”

‘He felt utterly aggrieved. He had been so careful lately, yet he still ran into ‘Human Gun’.’

“Heh, you don’t need to worry about whether or not I’ll slip up,” Li Yang laughed.

He swung the Profound Annihilation Spear, easily dispatching the Deity before him.

Then, Li Yang swiftly pursued the other two, killing them one by one.

“Li Yang, kid, there’s a Five Elemental Deity from the Alien Race heading this way,” Soul Ink warned after Li Yang had dealt with the three.

“Alright.”

Hearing this, Li Yang nodded, shot off in a specific direction, and quickly vanished from the area.

Mere minutes later, two Five Elemental Deities arrived at the scene.

Judging by their appearances, one was a Five Elemental Deity from the Demon Race, while the other belonged to a different race.

Faced with Li Yang’s relentless provocations, the other races were just as desperate to kill him.

“Damn it! Human Gun got away again!”

“He must have some incredible treasure that lets him survey his surroundings and detect our approach ahead of time!”

The two Five Elemental Deities stared at the empty space around them, their expressions grim.

One or two failed ambushes meant nothing.

But for it to happen time and time again, with “Human Gun” always managing to leave beforehand…

It most likely wasn’t a matter of good luck. He had to have some special method.

“Hmph! No need to be hasty. An Emperor from our Demon Race will be arriving. When that happens, what difference will it make if Human Gun detects him ahead of time?” the Demon Race Five Elemental Deity said gravely.

“Oh? An Emperor is coming?” The other Five Elemental Deity’s eyes lit up at these words.

Even an expert considered invincible within the Divine Realm could, at best, barely parry a few blows from an Emperor. They could never be a true opponent!

The gap in power was simply too vast!

Someone of Li Yang’s strength was hundreds, if not thousands, of times weaker than an Emperor!

With such a massive difference in power, as long as they could pinpoint Li Yang’s location, he would have absolutely no chance of escape!

…

Meanwhile, Li Yang was taking stock of his spoils.

‘Killed three Deities and got another five Divine Artifacts.’ Li Yang was pleased.

More than a month had passed. In that time, nearly a hundred Deities from the Alien Race had died at his hands, and he had obtained over two hundred Divine Artifacts!
