In an instant, the blazing fireball and the ball of light collided, and endless light and heat spread outwards from the two of them, with waves of scorching energy sweeping across the entire mountain.

Chapter 216 The First Military Merit

Rumble…

A deafening roar echoed continuously from the planet-sized mountain peak.

Both human and fire-saint soldiers kept as far away as possible from the battle between the two immortal gods.

Although immortal gods wouldn't intentionally slaughter these soldiers, no one would care if they were killed directly by the aftershocks.

"Sooner or later, I will also have this power."

He was leading his squad to hunt down the bones of the alien race, feeling the devastating power in the distance, and secretly made a vow in his heart.

"An alien race has arrived!"

Just then, a squad of three Fire Saint Clan Realm Lords also spotted Bone and the others.

With no room for error, the two squads launched an attack on each other immediately upon spotting the enemy.

There are five realm lords on the Bone side, but most of them are ordinary realm lords.

Although the Fire Saint Clan only had three Realm Lords, their talents, once unleashed, allowed them to reach the strength of elite Realm Lords. Therefore, the two teams were evenly matched for a time after their clash.

Battles at the World Lord level are straightforward life-or-death clashes, while battles at the Universe and Domain Lord levels utilize the surrounding natural environment to weaken the opponent's strength.

Winding, meandering mine shafts; valleys with disordered magnetic fields…

The human soldiers, who had been in the mountains for a year, used the terrain to their advantage to engage in a tug-of-war with the Fire Saint Clan soldiers.

Some of the wealthier human soldiers even laid traps in advance to lure the Fire Saint Clan soldiers there.

Although the soldiers of the two races fought fiercely, employing a variety of tactics, the final victory was still determined by the battle between the two immortal gods.

……

"So powerful, are these the elite among humans?"

The Fire Saint Clan Immortal who was fighting Lu Yunhe felt the enemy's suffocating attacks wave after wave, and his heart became heavy.

This level of strength is on a completely different level from the human immortals he has fought before; the sense of oppression is too strong.

"We can't hold back anymore!"

The Fire Saint Clan Immortal steadied himself, and the immortal divine power within his body exploded instantly, activating his racial talent.

A pure flame was born from within his body, igniting his immortal divine power throughout his entire being.

"Raging sacred fire, burn my body!"

The Fire Saint Clan immortal chanted, his entire body ignited, transforming into a body of flames.

At the same time, the armor on his body melted away and became part of his body.

The armor worn by the Fire Saint Clan is also specially crafted by the clan. After activating their racial talents, the armor can completely fuse with their bodies, greatly increasing their defensive capabilities.

After unleashing their talents, the Fire Saint Clan's strength steadily reached the advanced level of Immortal Lord, and their defensive power even reached the peak of Immortal Lord.

Below the rank of Marquis, his fiery body, fused with battle armor, made him impenetrable to the defenses of ordinary immortals.

In terms of talent, humans are indeed far behind. Unfortunately, this Fire Saint Immortal did not encounter an ordinary human.

"The sky and earth are aligned!"

Faced with the unleashing of the Fire Saint Clan's immortal power, Lu Yunhe remained unfazed. He "slowly" slashed through the void divine weapon in his hand, creating a tiny crack in the formless and intangible space.

"not good…"

The immortal-level senses shifted, and the Fire Saint Clan immortal, who had just unleashed his full power and felt confident, instantly changed his crimson face and retreated frantically.

tear...

A blinding sword light flashed, and the armor of the Fire Saint Clan Immortal, which was completely integrated into his body, was instantly cut with a clear mark, revealing his burning body inside.

"Even the immortal can be defeated!"

Lu Yunhe used the ninth level of the Divine Weapon attack, which, when controlled, is more like an assassin's attack.

However, in the hands of a martial artist, when facing an enemy, it seems to have an extra layer of penetrating damage.

The attack, capable of teleportation, combined with the power of an immortal, easily broke through the defensive strength of the Fire Saint Clan's immortal, which was comparable to the peak of an immortal military lord.

"What a terrifying attack, but I can still withstand it!"

The Fire Saint Immortal touched his slashed abdomen, gritted his teeth, and charged forward again with his long fork in hand.

"Although your attack exceeds my defense, my attack certainly exceeds your defense as well."

"By trading injuries, my body can definitely withstand more damage than that of humans."

Those who can cultivate to become immortal gods are not lacking in the determination to fight to the death.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Fire Saint wielded his long forks with both hands, sometimes smashing, sometimes stabbing, constantly changing his attack methods.

However, Lu Yunhe's body was like a fish swimming in water. His exquisite movements made the Fire Saint Clan Immortal look like a fisherman who had just entered the water. No matter how he attacked, it seemed like he was only seeing flowers through the fog. He could only attack the fish's figure that was exposed above the water, but could not attack the fish's true body in the seabed.

"Damn it, just let me attack once, just once!"

The enraged Fire Saint Immortal retreated slightly, then used his long fork to block Lu Yunhe's divine weapon. He then slid his hands up the weapon while rapidly closing in on his enemy.

"open!"

The Fire Saint Immortal wanted to deflect the enemy's weapon and then engage in a fierce, close-quarters melee.

"Think beautifully!"

Lu Yunhe saw through the Fire Saint Clan's thoughts at a glance and smiled to himself.

The ninth level of the Divine Weapon is divided into three tiers, spanning the levels of Military Lord Immortal and Marquis Immortal.

In the battle just now, Lu Yunhe only used the laws of the Immortal Army Lord.

"Even the immortal can be defeated—the third level!"

In an instant, the illusory divine weapon that had been held up by the long fork disappeared and appeared in Lu Yunhe's left hand, where he then silently thrust out a sword.

"what!"

Although the Fire Saint Clan Immortals could not detect the level of teleportation attack, they could clearly see the weapon disappear.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized what was happening, Lu Yunhe's divine weapon had already pierced his abdomen. His defense, comparable to a peak Immortal Military Lord, was as fragile as tofu under the penetrating power of the divine weapon.

However, in addition to their greatly increased lifespan, immortal gods also possess incredibly strong vitality and are completely free of any weaknesses.

Upon reaching the immortal deity, the soul and body merge, and the entire being is composed of the basic unit of "immortal divine power." As long as the attack does not damage the immortal divine power, the immortal deity cannot be killed.

If one possesses the immortal body of a marquis, even if the power of immortality is destroyed, it can still be reconstituted.

To kill an immortal being who has condensed an immortal body, one can only forcibly annihilate its energy or launch a soul attack.

However, for immortals who have not yet condensed an immortal body, as long as their immortal divine power is damaged, they can be forcibly killed.

"run!"

Although this attack did not directly kill the Fire Saint Clan Immortal, it terrified him, because the attack had damaged the essence of the Immortal Divine Body, directly annihilating 2% of his divine body.

A few dozen more sword strikes would completely obliterate his immortal divine body. And a mere few dozen sword strikes wouldn't take long given the attack frequency of an immortal god.

Realizing they were facing a death threat but unable to affect their enemies, the Fire Saint Clan Immortals decisively chose to retreat.

"Don't force me!"

The Fire Saint Clan Immortals frantically fled while simultaneously defending against the attacks.

"If I self-destruct, you definitely won't survive either."

The Fire Saint Clan Immortal threatened, because because his body was completely transformed into divine power, the self-destruction of an Immortal God was comparable to a full-force attack of a higher level, making it a very powerful threat.

However, despite the threat of the Fire Saint Clan's immortality, Lu Yunhe remained unmoved and relentlessly pursued them from behind.

After several collisions, the Fire Saint Clan's immortal divine body had already suffered more than 10% damage, and its strength began to decline.

If the damage exceeds 30%, the strength is only 50%; if the loss is 50%, the strength is only 10%; and if the loss is 70%, the strength is less than 1%.

If a god loses more than 90% of its body, the immortal god will lose consciousness, fall into a deep sleep, and become a lamb to the slaughter.

"I'm really going to self-destruct!" The Fire Saint Clan Immortal kept spouting empty words, but his body obediently fled.

"We can't go on like this, or we'll really die!"

Feeling the damage to his divine body, the Fire Saint Clan Immortal looked bitter; this time, he had truly kicked a hornet's nest.

Even if the other party is willing to let him leave, the loss of his divine body will force him to use up all the resources he had previously earned.

And most importantly, the humans behind him didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go.

Seeing this, the Fire Saint Clan immortal, who was already close to the mountain peak, suddenly turned around and said fiercely:

"Since you're so eager to kill me, I won't let you get away with it either. Let's see who dies first."

"Let's die together!"

The flames on the immortal body of the Fire Saint Clan became even brighter, giving the impression of complete combustion.

The next moment, the Fire Saint Clan Immortal brandished his long fork and charged directly at Lu Yunhe.

hum!

Lu Yunhe moved slightly to dodge the enemy's attack, and at the same time, the illusory divine weapon in his hand pierced into the opponent's divine body again, forcibly annihilating a part of it.

However, this time the Fire Saint Clan Immortal did not dodge. Instead, he used his long fork to firmly hold the divine weapon in front of his chest, and then released a dense ball of fire divine power to envelop the two of them.

The dense aura of the fundamental law of fire concealed a trace of the fundamental law of space, directly interfering with the surrounding space.

"Die with me!"

A hint of madness flashed in the eyes of the Fire Saint Clan Immortal, and the last burning crystal suddenly appeared between the two.

"Blow it up!"

boom……
