I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

[Rank: Pseudo-canon.]

[Nature and Characteristics: Casting, Fire]

In times when night had fallen or was yet to come, these words, spoken around the campfire, offered solace and warmth. Now, these words continue to burn, like coals, like sparks.

[Advanced Progress: 1/9]

Each time the exclusive secret technique advances, the amount of secret techniques consumed increases exponentially. By the time he reached the fourth level, Li Lin had exhausted all the secret techniques he had collected over the long term.

Moreover, with the advancement of the secret transmission, the required level of consumables has become increasingly higher. For example, now, the consumables it requires are the power of the disobedient gods.

At this very moment, the heavenly drums resound.

A deafening roar of thunder erupted from the gap from which flames poured down.

The clouds parted, the hurricane howled, and the deafening roar couldn't even catch up with the burning figure.

Like a jumbled tape in a bad movie, after ignoring a trivial part of the story, the ending suddenly appears before your eyes.

Close at hand!

Right in front of the Monkey King, a golden body, exceeding the speed of sound and trailing flames, was rushing towards him! The violent flames rose up, illuminating that majestic and cold face.

The firelight was fleeting.

Immediately afterwards, countless metal fragments spread out from the renewed storm, accompanied by a deafening roar. Only sparks could be seen flying from the friction of metal against metal, but the terrifying brilliance that resembled a comet could not be captured.

Destroy everything!

The time spanned in that instant was not even enough to stir any emotion, and the giant dragon coiled around the Monkey King's back let out a mournful wail.

fracture.

Like being cleaved head-on by a sharp and heavy axe, the dragon's scales, fascia, and bones were brutally torn apart. Its body was ripped apart, dismembered, and fell by an unparalleled force, leaving only a small remnant of flesh and skin.

The sound, audible only to monkeys, slowly rose in his ears, sounding intermittent due to its high speed, like fragments from the past.

"How dare you, a monkey who bullies the weak, call yourself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

"How dare you, a monkey who has forgotten his ancestors, call yourself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

"How dare you, a monkey who has willingly degenerated, call yourself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

The already severely injured monkey was once again struck by that meteor. Li Lin's figure suddenly went from extreme motion to extreme stillness, and a moment later, a rumbling sonic boom surged in like a tide.

He looked at the defenseless monkey with disappointment: "In your hands, even the Law of Heaven and Earth has become a mere target for attack..."

What kind of celestial phenomena are these?

The monkey's eyes were filled with astonishment and fear; he was afraid.

The giant monkey king vanished, dispelling his divine power of "Heaven and Earth Transformation." He pushed the equally severely injured Zhu Ganglie and Shensha Shen toward Li Lin, then turned and fled without looking back.

This guy dares to call himself the Monkey King?

"Return the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven and start training again as a mischievous monkey!"

Li Lin raised the Lament Spear in his hand, forward, and threw it!

The fire flickered.

The Monkey King, who was frantically fleeing, froze. He looked down at the hole that had somehow spread across his chest, and wanted to say something.

"Uh... squeak—"

But in the end, he was unable to say anything and was burned into a molten mass of metal by the intense heat of the sparks.

The Lament Spear flew back into Li Lin's hand automatically.

.......

"Do we still need to prepare for the sealing ceremony?" a shrine maiden asked Amakasu Touma in a trembling voice.

The representative of the official history compilation committee turned pale. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a black crack appear in the sky, swallowing up the molten metal and the heavily armored Li Lin.

"That's the Netherworld?!"

Amakasu Touma's eyes widened as he recalled the records of this phenomenon in the official history compilation committee.

"The god-slayers, after defeating the disobedient gods, will enter the Netherworld to transfer divine authority..."

Amakasu Touma's voice seemed to be choked off by something, and he turned his head to look at Mariya Yuri.

After a long while, he pointed to the sky and let out a desperate laugh.

"You fools! That's not a disobedient god... but a demon king! The seventh god-slayer in the world!"

336 Susanoo, stop with your useless nonsense.

Netherland.

The Netherworld of Godslayer is as bizarre and indescribable as the Manju of the Awake World. It can reflect some of the scenes of the real world, and in turn, influence the concepts of the real world.

For the god-slayers, the Netherworld is far more important than the real world.

Not only because the Netherworld can accommodate their power clashes, but also because these god-slayers must enter the Netherworld during their reincarnation rituals.

Every god-slayer who manages to defeat a disobedient god remains unchanged in essence at the end of the battle; they are still mortals, already severely wounded. In the Netherworld, a realm between life and death, they will encounter the woman who will change their lives forever.

Every god-slayer knows her name, but keeps it a secret, fearing that others might guess her identity through the various mythological origins.

But in fact, the title of Godslayer already reveals the woman's identity in a literal sense.

Campione, known as the bastard son of Epimetheus, was also called the Demon King.

Legend has it that he will kill all the gods in the heavens at Ragnarok, seize their supreme divine power, and wield the power he usurped by killing the gods, thus ruling over all living beings on earth.

Epimetheus, in Greek mythology, is the counterpart to Prometheus, who stole fire, and is known as Hindsight.

This god, known as the most foolish in Greek mythology, married a woman named Pandora, the witch who opened Pandora's Box and released countless calamities such as disease, disaster, and poverty.

In the Netherworld, this Pandora is the one who presides over the Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual, responsible for transferring the power and authority of the defeated gods to the Godslayer.

As the person in charge of the reincarnation ceremony, she had already sensed that a powerful divine essence had vanished after the mortal realm was established, and that the gates to the underworld had been opened.

The fact that she had never seen the divine aura that had been defeated proved that a new god-slayer had been born in the human world.

"Who is it?"

Pandora, who looked like a young girl, tossed her long purple hair and looked expectantly at the rising light screen in front of her, waiting for the moment when a new "child" would emerge from it.

The next instant, she saw a mass of molten metal suddenly appear in front of her.

"This is...this is the Monkey King!"

Pandora took a step back.

She could sense the steel-like resilience of the divinity within, the abundant divine power of the Trinity, and the resentment and...doubt within it.

Why would there be doubt?

It's perfectly normal for a rebellious god to feel resentment when defeated by ordinary mortals by chance, but doubt is unprecedented.

Pandora knew very well that the non-gods were deities who had departed from mythology, and their paths were incredibly firm; they would never doubt their own path.

This is as unrealistic as a baby strangling itself with the umbilical cord inside its mother's womb.

Pandora had always thought this situation wouldn't happen, until today when she saw the Monkey King, who was also famous in Steel Heroes.

How exactly did that god-slayer manage to beat the Monkey King into such a miserable state, making him question the meaning of life?

Then she saw it.

A pale-skinned, black-haired, and black-eyed young man walked toward him with his hands in his pockets. Unlike the other god-slayers who came here, he had not a single wound on his body.

When Li Lin saw Pandora, he immediately sped up.

As he passed the remains of the monkey, he quickly reached out and grabbed a handful, then threw it at Pandora as he approached her!

"Woo——"

Pandora, her face covered by scorching metal paste, covered her eyes and crouched down.

Seeing that his sneak attack had succeeded, Li Lin immediately ducked and delivered a powerful low kick!

The young girl fell to the ground.

"Haha, trying to escape?"

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Li Lin quickly tackled her to the ground, reached out and strangled Pandora's neck, pressing his knee against her lower back.

"You unfilial son, let go of your mother!"

Pandora struggled fiercely as her face was covered in metallic paste.

"Mom...?" Li Lin was struck dumb, staring blankly as he let go of Pandora's red eyes.

Li Lin reached out and touched Pandora's head, then moved it to his lower abdomen, where the height was just right.

"What are you thinking! You naughty child, how dare you lay a hand on your own mother!"

Pandora pouted in dissatisfaction, while secretly glancing at Li Lin's expression.

Li Lin said blankly, "Do you know what kind of risks it takes to become my mother?"

"Huh?" Pandora tilted her head. "No, I don't know."
