Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“How dare you act so presumptuously in my territory! How bold of you!”

An aloof voice rang out, and right away, someone else had already appeared in the sky. He had a head of black hair, a pair of black eyes, handsome looks, and a proportionate figure with perfect contours. His looks were perfect and flawless, easily giving Pan An a run for his money and firmly surpassed Song Yu’s.

“Master!”

At the sight of the newcomer, the Great Prophet, Olio, and the others could hardly keep their feelings in control. They had never longed for Meng Lei to show up as much as how they currently did.

“He’s finally appeared!”

Gaianos, Ebenezer, Adolphus, Burnside, and the other two Great Perfection deities also turned to Meng Lei, light flashing across their eyes.

“One, two... Five, six!”

Meng Lei’s gaze flitted past the six Great Perfection deities one by one. Disappointment filled him at once.

Why are there only six of them that came? What a disappointment!

A Great Perfection deity was worth 12 billion Divinity Crystals. Even with six of them, the total value would never exceed 80 billion Divinity Crystals, even at the maximum!

How disappointing!

This bit of money wasn’t even enough to fill in any gaps!

“Eh?”

However, at this exact moment, Meng Lei suddenly noticed a five-colored light ball falling from one of the Great Perfection deities. A system notification rang out right away.

“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”

“A five-colored light ball?”

Meng Lei perked up, and he ordered, “Pick it up!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Laws of Nature Fragment. Will you assimilate it?” asked the system.

“Assimilate it!”

Boom!

A torrent of data instantly gushed into his mind, flashing swiftly across his eyes as though it were a movie that was being played. Meng Lei hurriedly checked it out.

Immense joy then filled Meng Lei right away.

“Thunder, ice, metal, dark, and fire elements! Tsk, tsk! To think it’s a fusion laws of nature fragment that’s actually made up of these five elements!”

Meng Lei was extremely excited.

“I searched far and wide to no avail, only to obtain it so effortlessly in the end! Never would I have ever thought that I would actually obtain destruction laws of nature like this! Even the heavens are on my side! Hahaha!”

Thunder, ice, metal, dark, and fire—these were exactly the five elements corresponding to the destruction laws of nature!

Destruction laws of nature were one of the five supreme laws of nature, yet he had obtained it so easily! One could easily imagine just how excited Meng Lei must be.

“Hahaha!”

Wild laughter boomed in the sky like thunder, its reverberations breaking the dimension around them and causing it to vibrate and shake. Everyone looked absolutely stupefied.

He had suddenly burst into raucous laughter?

He could actually still bring himself to laugh when six Great Perfection deities surrounded him? Had his brain been caught in between Sister Feng’s1 a*s?

The six Great Perfection deities’ expressions darkened, feeling as though they had been insulted. How dare he laugh when they were standing right in front of him?

Gaianos barked in a deep voice, “I’m going to tear you into a million pieces for killing my child, you knave!”

Before he even finished speaking, he had already raised his right palm and smacked it down at Meng Lei.

Boom!

As though Buddha’s Palm, a massive palm that blotted out the sky appeared above Meng Lei.

The Great Prophet and the others’ expressions changed greatly upon sensing the massive palm’s terrifying might, and they hastily shouted a warning, “Look out, Master!”

“Insignificant tricks!”

Meng Lei’s smile disappeared. He couldn’t help but shake his head lightly as he looked up at the huge palm crashing down upon him. Then, he formed a sword with his index finger and middle finger and slashed lightly across the air. The sound of something ripping apart rang out, and the massive palm that carried with it boundless destructive might and blotted out the sky was instantly cleaved into two, disappearing into nothingness upon being destroyed.

“What?”

A huge jolt went through Gaianos, whose eyes were filled with incredulity. Although that palm strike was just a casual strike from him, it was in no way an attack that an ordinary higher deity could fight against. Yet Meng Lei had casually cleaved it apart...?

“Kid, are you also a Great Perfection deity?”

Gaianos was rather alarmed and unsettled. Since the other party was able to slaughter high-level higher deities and high-level Great Demon Gods at will, it was evident that he was infinitely close to the Great Perfection stage!

And now, he had even countered his attack so effortlessly. This was something that only Great Perfection deities could do.

“He’s a Great Perfection deity?!”

A shock went through Ebenezer and the other Great Perfection deities. At once, a hint of incredulity surfaced in their eyes that were fixed on Meng Lei. A 45-year-old Great Perfection deity?

What kind of joke was that?

“Great Perfection? No, I’m not.”

Meng Lei shook his head and denied the statement.

Whew~

It’s a good thing he isn’t one! That gave me a fright!

Gaianos and the others secretly heaved sighs of relief. Things would become rather tricky if Meng Lei were really a Great Perfection deity. Even with the six of them joining hands, it would still be a lot of work if they wish to kill a Great Perfection deity!

After all, a Great Perfection deity... wasn’t that easy to kill!

“You worm, how dare you slaughter the experts from the major godly clans! You practically can’t get any more perverse than that! Today, I shall give you a terrible death!”

Ebenezer, the Great Perfection deity from the Giant Elephant Gods, let out an icy snort and brazenly went on the offensive.

He vanished from where he was in the blink of an eye. Then, he raised his car-sized fist and smashed it toward Meng Lei.

The Giant Elephant Gods were naturally blessed with Herculean strength and cultivated only their physical body. Among those of the same grade, only the Behemoth Gods, the Titan Gods, and the Scarab Gods could contend against them.

As a deity with a Great Perfection-level body, Ebenezer was undoubtedly top-class among the Great Perfection deities when it came to one’s divine body’s level of sturdiness and physical strength. As such, one could easily imagine the destructive power contained within his fist.

It was just a shame that Meng Lei merely gave a light shake of his head even when he was faced with such an earth-shattering punch. He reached out a finger and pointed lightly at the powerful punch intending to smash him into a bloody pulp.

“He’s using a finger to counter Ebenezer’s powerful punch head-on?”

“How arrogant!”

“How presumptuous!”

“He overestimates himself!”

“I’ve never seen such an arrogant person in my whole life! Just you watch—he’ll definitely die in a very, very tragic manner...”

The five Great Perfection deities gnashed their teeth in fury at the sight of Meng Lei’s actions, which had significantly angered them.

“You’re courting death!”

Ebenezer, who felt that his pride as a Great Perfection deity had been immensely insulted, also flew into a rage. He couldn’t help but apply even more force in his punch, causing the punch’s might to spike.

Spurt!

Meng Lei’s index finger and Ebenezer’s powerful punch clashed against each other. The very next moment, something that none of them ever imagined would have happened took place—their finger and fist clashed against each other like a watermelon and a nail colliding with each other. Following a spurt, Ebenezer’s fist was pierced right through—Meng Lei’s finger... had jabbed deeply into it!

“Ugh!”

Ebenezer let out a muffled grunt, his face as though he had just seen a ghost.

His finger has actually pierced right through my fist? How can that be?!

“How did that happen?”

The five other Great Perfection deities were stunned by what they saw.

“Thinking of taking my life with just that bit of power you’ve got? You’re a far ways off!” Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he said, “Just as well. Since you’ve come to seek your death, then I’ll send you on your way.”

As he spoke, Meng Lei came right up to Ebenezer in a flash. Ebenezer was several thousand feet tall, and his face was even bigger than a bus. The 1.8-meter-tall Meng Lei was no different from a child when he stood right in front of his face.

“Go on your way, Mr. Great Perfection!”

Meng Lei bent his fingers and flicked them lightly against the area in between Ebenezer’s brows.

Crackle! action

The sound of something breaking rang out. At once, as though thunderstruck, Ebenezer’s eyes widened to a size even larger than millstones and became bloodshot, the interweaving veins of blood causing his eyes to look like broken glass.

Right on the heels of it, the area in between Ebenezer’s brows started to crack and break into little pieces like a broken mirror. The cracks spread through the area in an instant, and then... A huge bloody hole formed in between his brows.

Golden blood gushed from the wound like a waterfall, instantly dyeing Ebenezer’s face, chest, and the lapel of his clothes gold. He stumbled a couple of steps backward, pointing at Meng Lei as he sputtered, “You, you...” Then, he collapsed onto the ground.

Boom!

His body crashed onto the mountain peak, causing the earth to quake and throwing an infinite amount of dust into the air. In spite of that, the whole place was dead silent as though someone had pressed the pause button in this instant.

The dimension had been locked down.

The air had congealed.

Time had stopped.

The five Great Perfection deities’ acupoints had also been sealed.

Only the Great Prophet, Olio, and the others were in such a state of excitement that their faces were all red. They were so agitated that they shook all over and burst into loud, unrestrained laughter.

“Great Perfection deities are nothing more than just that!”
