“You were the one that searched Puhaman’s soul?” asked Meng Lei emotionlessly as he appeared in front of Valdi, the Fire Phoenix Chief God.
“D-don’t kill me!”
The Fire Phoenix Chief God turned ghastly pale from fright and pleaded for mercy again and again. “I’m willing to do anything in penitence. Please give me a way out!”
“Pleading for mercy? It’s too late!”
Meng Lei gouged out the Fire Phoenix Chief God’s divine core like what he had done just now. Then, he started to attack his divine core and conduct a violent soul-search.
Shrill screams that lasted over ten minutes rang out once more...
“A devil! He’s the devil himself!”
“Isn’t he afraid of the four Juggernauts’ judgment and punishment if he kills Chief Gods so cruelly like that?”
“Your Holiness Vados! Hurry and inform the four Juggernauts! Get them to hurry over here at once! Otherwise, that devil is going to kill us all!”
Vados was also frightened. If she hadn’t been afraid of Meng Lei in the beginning, after experiencing the complete version of spatial laws of nature, she certainly was now. She knew she was no match for Meng Lei for sure. If she allowed Meng Lei to continue his slaughter, it was possible that she, a higher Chief God... might also be killed!
“Yes, that’s right! Inform the Juggernauts! Get them to hurry here at once! They are the only ones that can save us now!”
Vados hastily brought out the golden leaf. She imbued it with her Chief God powers and began to call for the great Life Dominus.
Buzz!
The majestic figure appeared again—it was none other than the Life Dominus.
Vados shouted, “O great Dominus, hurry and save us! That terrifying devil is slaughtering us!”
“Mm?”
The Life Dominus broke into a slight frown. Her gentle gaze swept to the side accordingly and fell onto Meng Lei, noticing right away that he was conducting a soul-search. A cold look came over her countenance at once, and she said, “How dare you slay a Chief God so brazenly? Cease your actions at once!”
“Who do you think you are?”
Meng Lei cast a glance at the Life Dominus.
“What insolence!”
Vados barked, “This is the great Life Dominus. How dare you show her disrespect!”
“The Life Dominus?”
Meng Lei sneered, “If it had been the actual Life Dominus herself who had come, perhaps I would show some restraint on account of her, but a divinity projection... Get lost!”
Meng Lei let out an icy snort after he spoke, causing wild, violent sound waves to erupt into the surroundings. The Life Dominus’ divinity projection exploded at once, turning into a million glimmering dots that vanished into the sky.
“This...”
Vados shook with anger. She had never once imagined that Meng Lei would actually be so bold as to blast even the Life Dominus’ divinity projection into smithereens. This was no longer something that could be described as mere “extreme audacity”—his actions were practically lawless and perverse!
That was the great, supreme Life Dominus!!
“Feel free to call for the four great Juggernauts.”
Meng Lei glanced at Vados and said, “It’s best if they all come over. Saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one.”
Meng Lei then continued to leisurely conduct his soul-searches. He thought nothing of the four great Juggernauts who were about to come and of the other Chief Gods. This greatly infuriated Vados, yet there was nothing she could do about it. Meng Lei was too strong, so much so that it filled her with despair!
“You were the one that searched Thaniel’s soul?”
“You were the one that searched Sacas’ soul?”
“You were the one that searched Bubbles’ soul?”
Following the Fire Phoenix Chief God and the Frost Chief God, the Giant Elephant Chief God, the Nature Chief God, the Behemoth Chief God, and the Scarab Chief God also had their souls searched by Meng Lei. Their deaths followed shortly after.
Be they lesser Chief Gods or intermediate Chief Gods, all of them perished in Meng Lei’s hands. At last, only one Chief God remained... Chief God Vados.
“You’re the only one left now.”
Meng Lei went over to Vados.
“You can just kill me, but the four Juggernauts will avenge me!”
Vados had personally witnessed the six Chief Gods’ deaths, and her emotions had run the gamut of panic, despair, fear, and indignation, and now it seemed like she had come to terms with it.
“Do you think I’ll be afraid of the four Juggernauts?”
Chapter 406: Space Dominus, A Battle of Space
“Do you think I’ll be afraid of the four Juggernauts?”
Meng Lei stared at Vados as if he were staring at an idiot. He said, “There have never been any fools among those that can reach our level of cultivation—with the exception of Chief Gods like the bunch of you, of course. After all, you’re just a bunch of people who were lucky enough to assimilate Chief God divine cores.”
Vados’ expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, “You’re capable of contending with a Juggernaut?!”
A slight smile appeared on Meng Lei’s face. Then, he pinched his fingers together lightly, easily gouging out Vados’ Chief God divine core. He couldn’t help but smile as he gazed at the dazzling, brilliant irregularly-shaped crystal.
“It seems like all 11 Chief God divine cores in the Earth Divine Realm are in my possession now! Say, Moro... Do you think I’ll become a Supreme God straight away if I assimilate these 11 Chief God divine cores now?”
“Theoretically, it’s entirely possible,” Moro gave an affirmative reply, “However, because you haven’t deified yet, you can’t assimilate Chief God divine cores, so you’d better think of a way to deify first. instead!”
“I can deify any time I want.” Meng Lei nodded slightly and said, “What I’m concerned about is whether it’ll affect my ability to comprehend genesis laws of nature after I assimilate them?”
“Of course it will, but in a positive way instead.”
Moro said without any hesitation, “Your divine spirit will become incredibly powerful once you deify. When your divine spirit becomes powerful, the level of difficulty involved in comprehending genesis laws of nature will naturally become lower. There’s no doubt about that.”
“In that case, I’ll just deify, then!”
Meng Lei gave him a smile. Suddenly, a blink of light flashed across his eyes, and his lips curled up into a faint smile, and he commented, “But it seems like I don’t have the time for it now.”
“Oh?”
Moro raised an eyebrow.
“The great Juggernaut... has arrived!”
Before Meng Lei could even finish his sentence, an incomparably terrifying aura traveled over from afar. The air rippled slightly, and then, someone appeared 100 meters away.
He wore a bright silver robe embroidered with supreme laws of nature runes. His bright silver eyes were distant and aloof, containing no hint of emotion at all. His gaze swept across the area and fell onto the Chief God dead bodies scattered about the surroundings. At once, his brows drew together into a deep frown. Even though he had sped the whole way here, was he ultimately still a step too late?
Then, his gaze landed on Meng Lei’s palm, where Vados’ Chief God divine core was.
“O great Space Dominus, s-save me! Save me!”
Vados’ fearful cries for help rang out from within the Chief God divine core.
“Chief God Vados!”
The Space Dominus’ expression turned incredibly dark and sinister. If even Vados had been killed, then what about the other Earth Divine Realm Chief Gods? Where were the other Chief Gods’ divine cores?
Sh*t!
The Space Dominus’ heart sank. He knew what would happen when all the Chief God divine cores in a Divine Realm fell into the same person’s hands, of course. That was
something he absolutely didn’t want to and was reluctant to see!
Why did the Chief God Treaty come to be?
On the surface, it was to prevent Chief Gods from killing one another, but its main purpose was ultimately still to prevent the emergence of a super Chief God. If a super Chief God... or even the legendary Supreme God were to be born, it would threaten the four Juggernauts’ positions for sure!
This was something that the four Juggernauts didn’t want to see, so it had resulted in the Chief God Treaty.
Yet the exact thing that the Juggernauts wished to see the least had still happened!
“I have to kill him before he assimilates all the Chief God divine cores! Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!”
The Space Dominus glowered at Meng Lei with a razor-sharp look in his eyes. “Do you confess to your crimes, lowly ant?”
“My crimes?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. He replied, “I’d like to know what kind of crime I’ve committed. If even something like killing Chief Gods is considered a crime, then I’d rather see this crime through all the way to the end!”
“What insolence!”
The Space Dominus flew into a thundering rage. “You’re a Great Perfection deity, yet you slaughter Chief Gods as you please. Your crimes are unpardonable! Surrender at once, otherwis—”
Meng Lei let out a contemptuous scoff and sneered, “O great Space Dominus, let’s cut all that crap and let our skills speak for themselves instead. Show me what it is that allows you to stand among the four great Juggernauts and overlook the rest of the deities in the world!”
“Since you refuse to wake up to the error of your ways, then go to hell!” With his eyes devoid of any emotion, the Space Dominus uttered icily, “Space Confinement!”
Buzz!
Spatial laws of nature instantly descended upon Meng Lei, locking down the space around him. It seemed like even Meng Lei himself had become trapped to the spot.
“Space Blade!”
The Space Dominus tapped his finger in the air. A blade that glittered a bright silver color manifested in mid-air and shot out, going straight for Meng Lei’s head.
“You’re attacking me with spatial laws of nature?”
Meng Lei almost burst out laughing. Then, he glared at the blade, causing the Space Blade originally shooting toward him to instantly dissipate into the air as though it had never once appeared.
Meng Lei then lightly shrugged his shoulders, upon which the imprisoned space around him was also freed.
The Space Dominus frowned slightly. “You actually have such a high degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature?”
All he had heard from the Life Dominus was that Meng Lei had already comprehended both time-based and spatial laws of nature, but he had no inkling about how far the extent of his degree of comprehension concretely went.
However, from the brief exchange of blows just now, the Space Dominus had come to realize that Meng Lei had an exceptionally high degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature—it had already reached at least 50%!
Meng Lei said dispassionately, “I’ve already comprehended everything that you have, as well as what you haven’t. So, don’t bother showing off in front of an expert anymore.”
“I’m showing off in front of an expert?”
The Space Dominus’ expression darkened right away, and he showed up in front of Meng Lei with a flash of silver light. His right hand transformed into a Space Blade that slashed forcefully across Meng Lei’s throat.
“You actually dare to come at me again?”
Meng Lei let out an icy snort and uttered, “Space Destruction!”
Boom!
Meng Lei had only just spoken when the dimension in front of him was suddenly destroyed. The air, magic elements, basic laws of nature, and even the dimension itself were crushed into a viscous, glue-like state, forming a black hole in the air.
The Space Dominus just so happened to dive right into the black hole, leading him to cry out at once.
He hurriedly retreated with a burst of speed, stopping only when he was a few kilometers away.
The robe that the Space Dominus was wearing was already gone, and even his eyebrows and hair had suffered a certain degree of damage. Had he not been the Space Dominus and possessed an incomparably powerful divine body, he would definitely have been in for it just now.
“How dare you!”
The Space Dominus was practically spitting fire from his eyes. Another robe quickly appeared on himself and covered his body from view. His eyes, as he glared at Meng Lei, brimmed with an endless amount of murderous intent.
“It’s been so many years since the last time someone had thrown me into such a pathetic state. You’re the first to do so since then. I’m going to rip you into a million pieces!”
Boom!
An incomparably violent, raging aura erupted from the Space Dominus., and the dimension around them cracked and broke into pieces like a fragile, brittle mirror. For a moment there, the whole dimension within 10 million kilometers of the Space Dominus was turned completely into a black hole.
The Space Dominus stood in the center of the black hole, his form glowing with a dazzling bright silver light. His entire self had become a bright silver color by now—this was the outward form that spatial laws of nature would take once physically manifested.
“Lowly ant, you shall understand how foolish it is to enrage a Juggernaut!”
The Space Dominus let out a long howl and made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand. A bright silver greatsword formed wholly from spatial laws of nature quietly appeared. Engraved on the greatsword’s surface were mysterious and profound spatial laws of nature runes.
“Cleave, Space Sword!”
The bright silver greatsword abruptly disappeared as the Space Dominus let out a deep roar. The next moment, the greatsword had already reached less than three inches away from the top of Meng Lei’s head.
The greatsword... had teleported!
“I told you, these attacks are useless against me!”
