Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

Above the dimly lit city of Lintang, a mirrored city of black ink hangs.

A deity dressed in a greyish-white robe, with sunken eyes and holding a scepter, frowned as he stared at the two people below.

Below, a figure stands with snow-white sword energy rising from beneath his feet, his black shirt fluttering in the wind, his posture upright and resilient, like an unstoppable sword!

Opposite him, the young man, lifted by the sword energy, was gentle and refined, with a smile as warm as a spring breeze, like a wise man who had seen through the ways of the world.

The two looked at each other and smiled, like the interplay of towering mountains and flowing water.

In the dim light, Zhou Ping's eyes gleamed with a faint, crystalline light.

His heart pounded, and the shimmering light flowed across his skin, growing ever brighter.

In his heart, that long-dormant emotion was stirring, as if it were about to break free of some kind of shackles.

He once saved the Great Xia from many calamities, simply because he felt that the Sword Saint should protect the world.

So he did it.

This is the Sword Saint's responsibility, but not what he truly desires.

But now it seems different; he has something he truly wants to protect.

I once lost hope and love for this world, and began to reject it. I would hide in a corner of my third uncle's local restaurant, reading novels and enjoying the chivalry in that world.

But ever since Jiang Ye and the others appeared, his efforts seem to have been reciprocated, and it's no longer just wishful thinking on his part.

He began to lose his composure and indifference; he would laugh along with the students and freely express his emotions.

They won't laugh at me or bully me...

"Sword Saint Senior, I..."

Ding!

Before Jiang Ye could finish speaking, a sword aura carrying a glassy luster shot straight into the pitch-black sky, colliding with Osiris's Netherworld.

Boom!

The moment the sword energy, shimmering with a glassy luster, touched the Netherworld of Death, the dense black death energy shattered instantly, pierced through by the sword energy.

Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback. When he came to his senses again, Zhou Ping was already standing in front of him, the Dragon Elephant Sword gleaming with a glassy luster.

"Jiang Ye, there's no reason for a student to stand up for their teacher."

Zhou Ping's voice was gentle, "Learn this sword technique, it's called... 'Godslayer'!"

Whoosh!

Zhou Ping's figure vanished suddenly, leaving only the lingering shimmering light of the surrounding space in Jiang Ye's vision.

As he was lost in thought, a notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! You have helped Zhou Ping accelerate his comprehension of the laws; he is now just one step away from achieving it. This may have some impact on the plot of the Wind God taking over Hetian City.]

[Gain modification points.]

[Upon reaching one million modification points, you will advance to the highest peak and choose any divine origin.]

Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with surprise. Just by making an appearance, he almost made Zhou Ping a god.

Boom!

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the sky.

Jiang Ye raised his head slightly.

The previously pitch-black sky was suddenly pierced by the glazed sword energy, and sunlight shone through it.

Osiris's eyes widened in disbelief; he couldn't believe that a human could break through the Netherworld, which contained the laws of death.

He stared intently at the young man whose body shimmered with a glassy hue within the gap in the Netherworld.

They were just a hair's breadth away from touching the threshold of God.

How could this human possibly have come this far?

"Hmph, you mere human! Even if you've touched the threshold of godhood, so what? You are still not a god!"

Osiris held his golden scepter high, and countless gray-white spheres of light gradually appeared above the inky black city, each containing the aura of laws.

"Your Great Xia Gods are indeed incapable of taking action themselves, sending a human like you to obstruct them—how laughable!"

"It's over, humanity!"

Osiris waved his scepter, and in an instant, the radiant sphere that had gathered over the dark city once again plummeted toward Zhou Ping like a shooting star.

A terrifying divine power enveloped this world, yet Zhou Ping, standing in the sunlight, remained completely unaffected.

As the brilliant meteor hurtled toward him, he calmly brushed the Dragon Elephant Sword with his hand.

Both the sword and his body were enveloped in a crystal-clear radiance, making them appear quite mystical.

"Almost? But it's enough!" Zhou Ping muttered to himself.

Swish!

Zhou Ping waved his right hand, and the Dragon Elephant Sword sliced ​​through the space, leaving a deep crack. The sword energy swept outwards in an instant.

The surging sword energy was no longer snow-white, but instead shimmered with a glassy luster.

boom--

The sword energy, which spread indiscriminately, exploded the moment it came into contact with the radiant meteor, preventing it from advancing even half a step into the sword energy.

The continuous laws exploded, deafeningly loud.

"What!" Osiris's eyes widened in shock. His power of laws couldn't even break through the sword energy of a human.

Jiang Ye below shook his head. In the original story, before Zhou Ping became a god, he fought on par with the God of Yellow Sand and the God of Wind, let alone Osiris, a god.

"Osiris, it's my turn!" At this moment, Zhou Ping, bathed in sunlight, had a glittering sword light in his eyes and raised the Dragon Elephant Sword high in his right hand.

In an instant, the sword energy that had just spread out rapidly retracted and converged into the Dragon Elephant Sword.

Sword energy condensed, radiating layers of sword energy fluctuations. The entire Netherworld trembled with the fluctuations, and cracks appeared.

On the gap that couldn't be closed, the sword light shone brightly, and a huge, long sword phantom, gleaming with glassy sword energy, revealed a corner of its tip.

The terrifying energy pressure even surpassed the divine power of Osiris.

Inside the underground altar, Lin Qiye and the others, who had annihilated all the mysterious figures, felt the oppressive power of the sword energy and couldn't help but look up.

"Holy crap! That...that's the Sword Saint!" Baili Pangpang's eyes widened instantly as he stared intently at the majestic figure bathed in sunlight, suspended in the sky.

The others also showed expressions of shock.

They could vaguely see that even before the sword was unleashed, Osiris's Netherworld in the sky began to tremble involuntarily.

That's the power of the gods!

The Sword Saint was able to shake the gods with human strength.

Is this the same socially awkward swordsman who used to lock himself in a dark room when he was being watched?

Baili Pangpang was stunned. "Is the Sword Saint still human?"

Lin Qiye's eyes widened in surprise, and he swallowed hard. "I think so. After all, even gods aren't socially awkward."

"By the way, where did Jiang Ye go?"

"There!" Shen Qingzhu pointed to Jiang Ye, who was standing on a transparent giant sword in mid-air.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye looked over and was immediately puzzled. How did he get up there?

In the inky black sky, Osiris's sunken eyes looked at Zhou Ping, and even his dull eyeballs flickered with a faint light.

He gripped the scepter tightly, saying in disbelief, "No, this is impossible! This shouldn't be the power that you humans should possess!"

Osiris's scepter slammed into the void, calming the trembling Netherworld. Then, the scepter emitted a gray and white light of law.

"You mere humans dare to attempt to slay the supreme gods? The gods of your Great Xia are utterly helpless!"

Zhou Ping's eyes remained calm as he pointed the Dragon Elephant Sword at Osiris. "I said... you're not worthy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant glass sword in the sky fell down, and wherever it went, the Netherworld collapsed inch by inch!

Osiris's eyes suddenly narrowed!
