Zhou Fan pointed his finger at the king of the destruction race. "It shall be done."
The river of cultivation moved and Lin Zhenwu's cultivation rose. By the time that Zhou Fan lowered his finger, Lin Zhenwu was at the 4th level of the true god realm, an entire level above Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong looked at him warily, wondering what he was planning.
"Are there any others who wish to exchange contribution points?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Then this marks the end of the contribution exchange." Zhou Fan said as he disappeared.
As soon as he left, the rules he set in place disappeared. Ying Xiong, along with every other true god and god in the righteous faction, excluding those like Heaven, attacked the king of the destruction race.
The king of the destruction race waved his hand, and he and everyone he had brought with him disappeared.
With a cultivation above Ying Xiong's and a combat power not much lower, it was impossible for Ying Xiong to stop him from leaving.
An emergency meeting was soon held at the headquarters of the righteous faction's army.
Lu Wei led the meeting with Ying Xiong and Pangu by his sides.
"A clear threat has been presented, one which we must prepare for immediately. If the destruction race chooses to attack us now, especially if they had prepared for this, then the outcome will be uncertain. Everyone get ready. Stay near teleportation arrays for the foreseeable future." Lu Wei said.
The meeting did not stop there, but continued with many specifics being hammered out. Beside Lu Wei, Ying Xiong was thinking about Yao Mun, or his appearance.
While Yao Mun seemed familiar, he could not put his finger on who he was, an unsurprising event ever since his reincarnation.
He considered sharing the info with Lu Wei, but upon thinking further, decided not to. Not only was there no point in doing so as they had no information, but the man he had seen was only at the god realm.
It was around 5 trillion years later that the true god ascension arena battle was about to begin.
The destruction race had chosen that contribution point exchange due to the fact that it was so close to the next true god ascension arena battle.
As the participaters of the true god ascension battle entered the stage, the members of the righteous faction were much more alert than usual. The destruction race was once again a force that may be able to fight most of the righteous faction head on.
With their tricks and schemes, it was hard to say what would happen if they attacked.
As the countdown for the true god ascension arena battle was about to end, a black hole appeared on the stage and a participant was added.
Before anyone could react, a barrier enclosed the stage and the battle started. All of the participants had seen the black hole appear and stared at the person who came out of it.
Around half of the contestants shot at the man in an instant.
As the man's arm and one of his legs disappeared, half of the contestants' heads flew into the air.
There had never been so many casualties in the true god ascension arena battle, not even when the destruction race first attacked. After all, participaters could give up at any time and would be teleported outside of the barrier.
Unfortunately, the requirement was to be able to say, "I give up."
Those who had charged in did not even have the chance.
Although they were the strongest below the true god realm, and all of them were incredible talents, they had carelessly charged at Yao Mun, the first heaven defying cultivator, given a divine physique by the origin god himself.
Upon seeing heads fly, everyone outside the barrier was instantly silenced.
Within the barrier, many gods instantly gave up, though a few were too late and their heads went flying.
Before anyone could react, the man on stage disappeared. Many had barely even caught a glance of him. He had won in record time, with record death rates.
Yao Mun had reached the true god realm.
Ying Xiong had seen Yao Mun again, and upon understanding what had happened, he met Lu Wei and told him about his feeling.
"I see. So you may have met him before. That doesn't help much, but we may be able to investigate him." Lu Wei said.
Unfortunately, they were destined to not find a single thing. All information on Yao Mun had long disappeared.
Surprisingly, the destruction race seemed to go quiet. That peace and quiet lasted for a quadrillion years, though nobody let their guard down.
It was not until all of the true gods in the destruction race silently appeared near the remnants of the forbidden land that they were seen again.
They did not move out or do anything crazy. They simply stood there, waiting. They gave off an aura of confidence that seemed to entwine the entire universe in fear.
Ying Xiong was the first to arrive, and he silently stood across from the king of the destruction race. They looked at each other with killing intent, but neither moved.
Ying Xiong was holding himself back not in fear of Lin Zhenwu, but worried that he would be able to escape.
"Why so serious. Don't you want to catch up?" Lin Zhenwu taunted, though he was just as serious.
Ying Xiong ignored him and waited. Soon, Lu Wei, Pangu, and hundreds of true gods began appearing.
Ying Xiong could not wait for everyone to come as he shot out at Lin Zhenwu and used his full power. The king of the destruction race bursted out with power that matched his.
"Ying Xiong! Today is the day that the human race is wiped out!" Lin Zhenwu yelled.
The king of the destruction race and Ying Xiong seemed evenly matched as they clashed, though everyone could see the king of the destruction race's slight disadvantage. Still, it was not enough to mean anything.
Without Ying Xiong or the king of the destruction race being able to decide the outcome, the battle of those below them finally mattered once again.
Lu Wei shot towards the three high lords, who, under many set up arrays, managed to keep him fighting them alone. The destruction race had been preparing for a very long time.
