Longchuan Ying unleashes her ultimate power, refining countless fallen powerhouses into clones of herself, each achieving Heavenly God level. She uses these clones to overwhelm and kill the North God King. Meanwhile, Qiu Tu realizes he cannot defeat the Divine Kings directly but devises a plan to support Zhao Ji, whose power is rapidly increasing to unprecedented levels.
In the following moment, a dozen projections of Longchuan Ying materialized beside Panda Zhi Yi, forming a defensive line as hundreds of other Longchuan Ying surged towards Zhao Ji. Witnessing this, Qiu Tu was consumed by apprehension. Despite his faith in Zhao Ji, he couldn't fathom her ability to contend against hundreds of Heavenly Gods, especially when she seemed to be in the process of accumulating power, not yet at her apex. Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's mounting tension, Zhao Ji slowly opened her eyes. They blazed like stars, radiating an unparalleled luminescence that rendered all earthly jewels insignificant. In the blink of an eye, without any discernible movement, she reappeared behind the West God King. The West God King's form became rigidity itself, his eyes wide with disbelief. Time and space seemed to freeze, only to be shattered by a violent ripping sound as his body disintegrated! A thunderous explosion reverberated through the heavens! Simultaneously, the downpour of blood intensified momentarily before subsiding. Meanwhile, the panda clone in white attire couldn't withstand the onslaught of the twelve Longchuan Yings and was also obliterated! In mere moments, only Longchuan Ying remained among the four Divine Kings on the battlefield. Among the six combatants, only Longchuan Ying, Zhao Ji, and Qiu Tu endured. The scene fell into an unnerving silence, with hundreds of Longchuan Ying facing Zhao Ji across the expanse. A silver whip was pitted against an ice sword, the air thick with lethal intent. Qiu Tu, a mere fledgling on this grand stage, sought to remain inconspicuous, keenly observing the unfolding situation. He perceived a subtle heaviness in Zhao Ji's expression, tinged with profound worry. Before these thoughts could fully form, the multitude of Longchuan Ying launched their assault. However, bolstered by Qiu Tu's enhancements, Zhao Ji proved significantly more formidable than the cloned Longchuan Yings. Within moments, bodies and flesh rained down. Yet, an even more bizarre phenomenon transpired: while many Longchuan Yings dissolved into fragments upon defeat, an equal or greater number fractured into additional clones. Longchuan Yings in the bandaged woman and black cloak forms began to split with alarming rapidity. Soon, seven distinct forms of Longchuan Ying commanded the sky, creating an overwhelming force. Their terrifying auras surged towards the horizon. Indeed, the orchestrator of the 'Heavenly God Cataclysm,' the supreme leader of the four Divine Kings who had ruled this world for eons, followed a path uniquely formidable and terrifying. Concurrently, before Qiu Tu's eyes, the 'Crisis Intuition' system began flashing erratically. 'Crisis Intuition triggered! Generating Crisis Report!' 'You are now facing an unprecedented crisis.' 'Although you have successfully utilized the 'Order Space' to temporarily elevate Zhao Ji's power to just below Heavenly God level, granting her peak Heavenly God combat prowess.' 'However… under the 'All Things Way' of the East God King Longchuan Ying, you remain in grave peril.' 'You are unable to locate Longchuan Ying's true body, and she grows stronger with each passing moment.' 'You cannot deactivate the 'Order Space,' for doing so would allow hundreds of Longchuan Ying to eliminate both you and Zhao Ji instantly.' 'Yet, you cannot sustain the 'Order Space,' because… if you continue maintaining it, while Zhao Ji will eventually triumph, you will be utterly depleted the moment you disable the 'Order Space.'' 'You have precisely 15 seconds to resolve this predicament.' 'The countdown commences now.' Observing the frantic alerts of 'Crisis Intuition,' Qiu Tu's eyes turned bloodshot. The timeframe was impossibly short! Fifteen seconds? What could possibly be accomplished?! If this current approach was insufficient, why did 'Crisis Intuition' not provide a warning sooner! Was this a deliberate attempt on his life? '00:12' At this thought, Qiu Tu stopped abruptly. It was a valid question: why the late alert from 'Crisis Intuition'? '00:11' Based on his cumulative experience with 'Crisis Intuition,' Qiu Tu had deduced that as his own power increased, fewer entities posed a significant threat, leading to a reduced frequency of its activation. Previously, 'Crisis Intuition' would issue a warning at the onset of a perilous event. Now, it might only intervene when disaster was imminent. The presumed reason was his previous weakness; a single misstep could plunge him into an insurmountable abyss.But at this moment, Qiu Tu possessed the ability to overcome the majority of worldly troubles. Numerous dangerous predicaments could be nonchalantly settled by him a mere moment faster. "00:09" With this thought, Qiu Tu turned his attention to the crimson timer displayed before him, transitioning into a void spirit state. So… what event had just transpired, completely altering the dynamics of the entire battlefield? Musing on this, Qiu Tu's gaze instinctively settled upon the spectacle of countless Longchuan Ying. His eyes subtly gleamed, as though he had stumbled upon a vital hint.
