Chapter 309: Godslaying, the Ultimate Law Crystal

Chapter 309: Godslaying, the Ultimate Law Crystal

12/15/2024

For a fleeting moment, over a dozen dark rays lingered in the void, only to disappear in an instant.

But in that instant, more than ten horrifying wounds appeared on the spider's body.

Even the Pulse Ray, which could only leave a negligible mark on an extraordinarily powerful body, was as fragile as paper against the dark rays.

The Spider Queen stared at Su Nan in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

What was that just now? Gravity Law?

But Su Nan wasn't even a True Spirit Sorcerer; how could he manipulate such intense Law Power?

Before the Spider Queen could comprehend, more Vajra Automatons rushed towards her.

Having suffered a significant loss, the Spider Queen dared not underestimate the Vajra Automatons again and quickly distanced herself.

However, she was surrounded by the Star Alliance Army on all sides, with the Sorcerer Tower, Star Fortress, and Magic Ship firing upon her, leaving her little room to escape.

In no time, the Spider Queen was caught up by the Vajra Automatons, and her body was instantly riddled with seven or eight miniature gravity black holes.

And this was just the beginning.

For this operation, Su Nan had prepared over four hundred Vajra Automatons carrying Law Crystals, almost depleting the Star Alliance's supply.

The four hundred Vajra Automatons surrounded and attacked the Spider Queen from all directions, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Each time a Vajra Automaton approached, she was severely injured by the sudden eruption of miniature gravity black holes.

In just ten minutes, the Spider Queen was covered in wounds.

At the rear of the battlefield, Su Nan stood by the Star Wizard Tower, observing from a distance with no intention of joining the fight personally.

After all, the opponent was a Divine Spirit, and even severely injured, they still possessed formidable power.

Although he could end the battle faster by intervening, the Spider Queen might try to take him down with her.

To be safe, it was better to use a swarm tactic to wear down the Spider Queen.

In fact, if the Spider Queen had intended to take him down with her from the start, she might have succeeded.

If she had, Su Nan would have no choice but to flee.

This was why he hadn't immediately revealed his trump card—the Law Crystal.

If the Spider Queen was desperate, she would choose mutual destruction.

The most foolproof method was to slowly wear down the Spider Queen with the army and tighten the net of death around her.

As it was, the Spider Queen was at her last breath, and even if she wanted to take Su Nan with her, she lacked the strength.

At this point, the Spider Queen's fate was sealed.

Perhaps realizing her predicament, the Spider Queen let out an ear-piercing shriek and charged towards Su Nan's position, her six pairs of compound eyes fixed on him, filled with venomous hatred.

Wherever the massive spider body passed, automatons and war constructs were shredded by her sharp limbs.

She even tore apart a Sorcerer Tower, melting the sorcerer inside with her venomous spit before they could escape, leaving no remains.

The terrifying power displayed by the crazed Divine Spirit caused Lizze's face to pale slightly.

Su Nan, however, remained calm and composed, giving orders without a change in expression.

The two Supreme Golems guarding him rushed forward without hesitation, fearlessly confronting the Spider Queen.

These Supreme Golems originally possessed Tier Three Vaporized Sorcerer-level combat strength, and after Su Nan's enhancement, their power had reached Tier Two Liquidized Sorcerer level.

Normally, the Spider Queen wouldn't even spare a glance at automatons of this level, but in her current injured state, she couldn't quickly dispose of these Supreme Golems, and her charge was halted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the surrounding Star Alliance Army adjusted their formation and surrounded her again.

Witnessing this, a hint of despair flashed across the Spider Queen's compound eyes.

Zzzz!

Various rays crisscrossed in the sky, forming a deadly net that completely enveloped the Spider Queen.

From time to time, pure black rays appeared, accompanied by gushing blood from the massive spider body.

"Tower Spirit 3, what's the energy recovery status?" Su Nan asked.

[Currently, 42.59% energy remains.]



With over forty percent energy, it was enough to fire the Pulse Cannon Mark III once.

Without hesitation, Su Nan gave the order to fire.

In the blink of an eye, a thick beam of light shot out, instantly crossing over a thousand meters and striking the massive body of the Spider Queen.

This beam was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, and with a mournful cry, the Spider Queen's enormous body fell like a meteor, crashing into the ground and raising a huge cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, the giant spider was nowhere to be seen, and the Spider Queen had already returned to her original form, lying on the ground, barely alive.

Her eyes, filled with resentment, fixed on Su Nan, as if she wanted to say something.

However, Su Nan had no intention of giving her that chance. With a flick of his finger, a lightning bolt shot out, piercing her forehead.

The Spider Queen had always been known for her cunning and endless underhanded tactics. When dealing with such an evil deity, one could never be too careful. It was best to seize the opportunity and finish her off swiftly, not giving her a chance to turn the tables.

This was the only time Su Nan took action during the war.

The Spider Queen, feared and dreaded by countless races and beings in the multiverse, had fallen by the Blood River.

Perhaps even she hadn't imagined that she would die at the hands of a Tier Three Sorcerer.

After confirming the Spider Queen's death, Su Nan approached the corpse and began setting up a sealing spell array to preserve the divine corpse, preventing excessive loss of divinity and power.

Behind Su Nan, Li Ze stared at the Spider Queen's body in a daze, her mind somewhat hazy.

They had actually succeeded! They had truly killed a deity! And not just any deity, but the Spider Queen, a well-known figure among the divine beings!

To be honest, before the operation began, deep down, Li Ze was quite worried. She had a pessimistic attitude about the chances of success, but she followed Su Nan's orders and made thorough preparations solely out of her longstanding trust and obedience to him.

What she hadn't expected was how extraordinarily smooth the operation went.

In the end, they truly succeeded in godslaying!

A second-rate sorcerer faction, without the resources of True Spirit Sorcerers or the Floating City, had managed to kill a deity. It was almost unbelievable.

The thought of it was absurd, yet it had truly happened before their eyes.

Looking at the divine corpse lying on the ground, even with Li Ze's experience, she couldn't shake the surreal feeling that it was all a dream.

After a while, she snapped out of her daze, her gaze shifting to Su Nan's back, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Indeed, Su Nan was still the same Su Nan, always creating miracles and bringing unimaginable surprises!

After sealing the Spider Queen's corpse, Su Nan turned around, picking up the divine puppet.

"I didn't expect there to be an extra bonus," Su Nan said with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He had thought obtaining the Spider Queen's corpse was already a great achievement, but he hadn't expected to also receive a divine corpse of the Crescent Moon Goddess as a bonus.

Even though most of the divinity, power, and essence had been extracted from this corpse, it still held immense value.

After he extracted the remaining divinity, power, and essence, the corpse could be used to create a divine body golem.

This golem was powerful enough to rival True Spirit Sorcerers.

Su Nan took the divine corpse, turned back to the devastated battlefield, and sighed softly.

Normally, with the Star Alliance's current strength, it would be impossible for them to godslay on their own.

The reason they succeeded this time was largely because the Celestial Tower and the Dark Throne had set them up for success.

Such an opportunity was almost impossible to come by again.

However, Su Nan was already content.

The success of this godslaying brought him a surprisingly rich reward.

After returning, it wouldn't be long before he could advance to become a True Spirit Sorcerer!

Back in the Starlight Continent, Li Ze immediately began tallying the losses from the operation.

The military casualties were quickly presented to Su Nan.

The Golem Legion suffered the most significant losses, with over half of their numbers destroyed.

This included more than two hundred Vajra Automatons that had self-destructed.

Half of the Star Alliance's high-level golems, accumulated over two thousand years, were lost in this battle.

The Flying Fleet came second in terms of losses, with two hundred and fifteen units destroyed, almost half of the Star Alliance's current fleet.

However, it was because the Flying Fleet bore the brunt of the battle at the frontlines, absorbing the heaviest casualties, that the Sorcerer Towers and Sky Fortresses suffered relatively fewer losses.

In total, they lost over eighty Sky Fortresses and five Sorcerer Towers.

Additionally, seven sorcerers perished.

The Twilight Wolves were nearly annihilated.

The losses were indeed massive.

Even during the battle with the Blackthorn Tower, they hadn't suffered such significant casualties.

However, neither Su Nan nor Lizze had any complaints about this.

Compared to the gains they had secured, these minor losses were insignificant.

After all, automatons and war constructs could be remanufactured, and the Twilight Wolves could be re-hatched. The opportunity to slay a deity, however, was rare and unpredictable.

"Leave the aftermath to you," Su Nan said.

"No problem," Lizze nodded, her expression serious. "Just focus on your cultivation."

As long as Su Nan could quickly ascend to the rank of True Spirit Sorcerer, the losses incurred by the Star Alliance would be quickly offset!

Handing over the aftermath to Lizze, Su Nan turned and entered the laboratory, ready to process the divine corpse.

To sorcerers, deities were walking treasure troves.

The divine body, divinity, divine power, and divine essence—any one of these was incredibly valuable!

This was why, despite the extremely high risks involved in slaying a deity, many True Spirit Sorcerers still pursued it relentlessly.

For a True Spirit Sorcerer, a fresh and intact divine corpse was worth as much as a floating city.

Now, before Su Nan, lay a freshly obtained divine corpse.

This being the first time he was handling a complete divine corpse—back in the Crystal Earth Plane, he only dealt with fragments—he approached the entire process with great caution, expending considerable effort to extract the intact divine essence from the corpse.

Holding the crystalline, multifaceted object that shimmered with a brilliant light, Su Nan couldn't help but be amazed.

The divine essence was the rank and power core of a deity.

Through the divine essence, deities received the prayers and requests of their followers, processed this information, and connected to the fundamental laws, allowing them to manipulate the power of the law.

In this sense, the divine essence could be considered the ultimate crystallization of faith and the ultimate crystallization of law.

True Spirit Sorcerers could use the divine essence to more deeply perceive the plane's fundamental essence, thereby rapidly enhancing their understanding and mastery of the law.

Similarly, Tier Three Crystalized Sorcerers could use the divine essence to accelerate their progress in understanding the law.

"However, this divine essence carries the Spider Queen's divine duty law and residual divine will, making it as soul-eroding as a faith crystallization. It needs to be purified before use."

Purifying the divine essence was a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.

Even for a True Spirit Sorcerer, it would require a significant amount of time and effort.

For Su Nan, however, it was relatively simple.

By dividing the divine essence into multiple parts, he could perfectly eliminate the internal divine will and law erosion, transforming it into a pure, ultimate law crystallization.

Following this method, Su Nan extracted and purified the divine essence from the divine puppet as well, ending up with two divine essences, one large and one small.

"The smaller divine essence will be enough for me to master the Thunder Law."

Su Nan felt elated.

After mastering the Thunder Law, he would still have the larger divine essence left. Once he ascended to the rank of True Spirit Sorcerer and stabilized his realm, he could use the divine essence to rapidly boost his power, solidifying his position among True Spirit Sorcerers.

To advance further after becoming a True Spirit Sorcerer, he would need to enter the Realm of Truth to seek opportunities.

However, entering the Realm of Truth was no easy task, especially for a newly ascended True Spirit Sorcerer.

There would inevitably be a gap during this period.

The divine essence would help him better navigate this gap, ensuring he didn't waste any time.

Afterward, Su Nan extracted the divinity and divine power from the Spider Queen's divine corpse.

The former, once purified, could be used to cultivate divinity-infused creatures, creating a batch of "divine cows" that could steadily provide divinity energy.

The latter could be combined with the divine body to create divine body automatons.

With two divine bodies, Su Nan could manufacture two divine body automatons.

But that was a matter for later.

His immediate goal was to master the Thunder Law.

With the two divine essences in hand, Su Nan swiftly entered the Thunder Element Space, reached the boundary of the core area, found a hidden location, deployed automatons for patrol and guard duties, and began his cultivation.

This time, besides holding the lightning-attracting wood, he also had a divine essence in hand. Indeed, the process of perceiving the plane's fundamental essence became much smoother, and his understanding of the Thunder Law advanced rapidly.

During this process, the divine essence would gradually be consumed.

Essentially, the divine essence, a precious crystallization of law, would be gradually converted into the user's progress in understanding the law.

In the entire multiverse, perhaps only Su Nan could use a divine essence to enhance his understanding of the law.

After all, such a precious item as a divine essence was treasured even by True Spirit Sorcerers, and it would never be given to a Tier Three Sorcerer for use.
