Chapter 873: Chapter 869 Absorbing Tens of Thousands of Divine Artifacts, Divine Origins, and Breaking Through Again!_1
Luo Yu had spared Benign Divine King's life after all.
Both the Evil and Destruction God Kings' True Spirits were completely annihilated, while the True Spirit of the Benign Divine King was preserved, allowing for reincarnation.
However, memories could not be retained.
The Heaven-slaying Halberd glinted coldly, drops of divine blood falling from its blade as ten thousand deities knelt in unison, not daring to raise their eyes to Luo Yu.
It was too terrifying, too domineering.
Inwardly, they couldn't help but curse the three great Divine Kings.
What kind of status, what kind of position did they think they had, to dare provoke such a ruthless person?
The eyes of the deities were nearly brimming with tears of regret.
Wasn't it fragrant to skulk about in the Divine Realm, why on earth did they follow and come out here?
They tried to show off but failed miserably, now their little lives were on the line.
Luo Yu surveyed the kneeling crowd, looking at this spectacular sight, he opened his mouth and asked:
"Do you recognize your crimes?"
As soon as his words fell, one of the deities cried out in haste,
"We realize our crimes, we lowly ones realize our crimes!"
The other deities inwardly cursed, thinking that this guy was too cunning, reacting so quickly. We hadn't even started speaking, and you're already capitulating.
At this time, Luo Yu spoke again:
"You recognize your crimes?"
"What crimes do you recognize?"
The deity who had spoken was frozen on the spot, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The rest felt a chill in their hearts and looked at each other with strange expressions.
Damn!
Now let's see how you answer.
"Hmm?"
Luo Yu's gaze sharpened, scaring that deity into shivering.
"We... we..."
"It's all because the three great Divine Kings recklessly led us to offend you, we now realize our crimes, we beg for your mercy."
"Pah, spineless."
The deities looked down on him one by one, cursing under their breath.
Luo Yu nodded, then continued to ask:
"Is he the only one who recognizes his crime?"
In an instant, all those who were already kneeling bowed even lower, shouting over each other in a rush.
"We realize our crimes!!"
"We all realize our crimes."
The beings from Soul Land watching through the Sky Reflecting Mirror were left speechless with amazement and satisfaction.
They had never seen such high and mighty deities show such a humble appearance.
They had been full of awe towards the deities.
But now it seemed that deities were not so extraordinary after all.
When beaten, they too begged for mercy.
"Silence!"
Luo Yu frowned and said, "If you've done wrong, you must pay the price. If my power had been insufficient today, the one without a burial place would have been me."
"And the countless beings of Soul Land behind me would have also suffered."
"These aren't things you can simply apologize for and recognize your crime to settle."
"Moreover, the hearts of the Divine Realm's deities have long since grown corrupt, sitting high above, looking down on the mortal world from the clouds."
Upon these words, the crowd of gods panicked.
"Spare us! We beg you to spare our lives."
Luo Yu said, "Rest assured, I won't kill you."
The deities breathed a sigh of relief, their faces revealing a joy as if they'd escaped from the jaws of death.
"I am merely sending you to reincarnate."
Upon hearing Luo Yu's follow-up, all the deities were flabbergasted.
Not kill us?
Then send us to reincarnate?
Do they take us for fools?
How is this any different from death?
"Either your True Spirit is destroyed now," Luo Yu said with a cold sneer, "or you relive a life in the human world, earnestly experiencing human suffering."
"Make your choice."
The gods felt bitterness in their mouths, one by one, their minds exploding.
Did they even have a choice?
Of course not.
In the end, they could only comply with the arrangement.
Luo Yu raised his Heaven-slaying Halberd, sweeping towards the direction of the gods, and a series of stunning arcs burst forth in the sky, instantly engulfing all the deities.
All the deities were annihilated, except for the True Spirits, which were left to be reborn in Soul Land.
However, they too had lost their memories.
Luo Yu felt no ripples in his heart about this.
Anyone who wanted to kill him had to be prepared to be killed themselves; he was no saint.
That he was now willing to allow them to reincarnate was already the greatest mercy.
As everyone watched Luo Yu extinguish all the deities, the beings of Soul Land were shocked, unable to describe the elegance of that one strike.
Wait!
Everyone noticed that there was still one deity alive in the void, a goddess wearing a simple long dress, with an extraordinary demeanor.
Why was she the only one who had not died?
What was going on?
The Ancestral Dragon beneath Luo Yu vanished, turned into countless specks of light that merged into his body, and he appeared in front of the goddess in the blink of an eye.
"Long time no see," Luo Yu said with a smile.
The Music Deity stared blankly at Luo Yu, at a loss for how to express her feelings.
Today, her emotions had been like a roller coaster ride.
Initially, she was worried to death about Luo Yu, only to find that all the arriving deities were just delivering themselves to be easily dominated?
She had hidden herself in the distance just now and hadn't taken the opportunity to merge and attack Luo Yu.
Whether it was because there were too many deities or because her own strength was so weak that no one paid her any mind, when she abandoned the group, no one bothered with her.
Seeing the Music Deity in a daze and slow to respond, Luo Yu said gently:
"From now on, follow me."
After hesitating for a moment, the Music Deity nodded.
"Alright."
Her expression lightened, and she had many questions to ask, but Luo Yu stopped her.
"You go to Soul Land first."
"I still have important matters to attend to."
After speaking, Luo Yu floated up again and approached the spot where all the deities had been obliterated.
Divine Artifacts lay ownerless, floating in the void, tallying up to tens of thousands, with the weakest being Third-Level Divine Artifacts.
The strongest were, of course, the super divine weapons of the three great Divine Kings.
He first threw the Heaven-slaying Halberd in his hand, and then the halberd began to spin rapidly, turning into a swirling vortex of black, like a black hole.
One after another, the Divine Artifacts were drawn in and engulfed by it.
The divine nature dissipated, swiftly devoured by the Heaven-slaying Halberd.
The already formidable divine weapon began to evolve and strengthen once more.
Meanwhile, Luo Yu was far from idle; with a great hand, he drew in the essences of the deities from the void, the source of power of the departed deities. Ultimate Douluo could become gods on the spot upon acquiring one and ascend to the Divine Realm.
He wielded the Power of Heaven and Earth again, forming a Furnace Cauldron and casting the essence of ten thousand deities into it, refining it with the burning of the Chaos Extinguish World Flames.
He concocted a Spirit Pill that embodied the laws of ten thousand paths.
He swallowed the Spirit Pill, and his body's radiance greatly intensified, his already transcendent Cultivation Level started to climb further.
All were shocked by this scene.
Refining the essence of ten thousand deities.
How powerful must one be to do that?
And the Heaven-slaying Halberd, having absorbed so many Divine Artifacts, what level had it reached?
Everyone dared not think of it, and indeed, they could not imagine it, because what Luo Yu had done was unprecedented, and there would be no others to follow.
For the Divine Realm was already utterly obliterated.
"Boom!"
At this moment, not only was Soul Land shaking, but the universe, centered around Luo Yu for tens of thousands of miles, was also trembling.
A horrifying aura, indescribable in words, burst forth from him and the Heaven-slaying Halberd.
"Another breakthrough?"
"He's broken through again?"
"He's already surpassed the Divine Kings, so what realm is this now?"
A string of astonished and startled exclamations erupted one after another.
Luo Yu sat cross-legged in the void, his gaze fixed on the depths of the universe, as if he could see thousands of miles away.
With a wave of his hand, a vortex formed, pulling at something.
"Come!"
