Death Realm:
Li Jun and the group had countless images in front of them as they analyzed the situation. The images not only showed the location, surroundings, and conversation of the gods but also many mortals that have just begun their path of enlightenment.
"I have to say, conquering this world has not been effective resource-wise," said Tie Gand. "Given all these mortals so many Heaven Grade Talismans–and even a few Saint Talismans; it does not seem to be worth it."
To hide these people from the eyes of the gods–mainly the Supreme Gods, the talismans are given to them were at least Heaven Grade since these Supreme Gods are considered Void Shattering Realm powerhouse.
And when it came to very sensitive gods like the Destiny Goddess, Li Jun and the others had to be careful and used Saint Grade Talisman.
"In the future, if we have to use so many resources to conquer a Middle Thousand World, of course, it will not be worth it," commented Yan Liling. "However, since this world is special and we want to be as fast and as efficient as possible, it is worth it."
"True. So, what's next on the plan?"
"We need a distraction. Right now, the world has just entered the beginning of a chaotic situation. With the talisman, we can temporarily hide these people, however, as they grow more powerful and swallow more gods, the Supreme Gods will catch their attention and set out to eliminate them.
"We need to distract them."
Li Jun then looked at Wang Jun and nodded. She took out a Communication Talisman and began to give orders.
Fire Realm, Fire God Huo's Heavenly Abode:
The Fire God was inside his temple, sitting on a fiery red throne. Flames of different colors surrounded the halls, giving the hall; a more joyous atmosphere. His eyes were closed as he absorbed incense that looked like a golden thread.
Underneath his robes, a few sword scars were slowly healing as he absorbed more. Nevertheless, his face still looked pale.
Thinking about the reason he was in his current situation, the Fire God gritted his teeth for a few seconds before continuing what he was doing. Under normal circumstances, he could take his time to heal his injuries.
However, with the Outsiders threatening their world, he did not want to take any chances.
Fire God suddenly opened his eyes and jumped off his throne. Unfortunately, it was too late. Before he could react, a sword pierced his heart.
His years of battle experience and instinct made him dodge to the side, avoiding a fatal position. However, the sword managed to cut off his right hand, making golden blood gush out.
The Fire God instantly controlled his body to prevent further loss of blood. Unfortunately, he discovered that his healing ability was hindered. He watched the person that attacked him.
"Outsiders?"
The man was dressed in tight black clothes that covered everything but his eyes. Although his clothes looked plain, countless runes could be seen engraved on them if looked with spiritual powers.
A shadow-like cloak was emanating from his body. The Fire God remembered that person instantly came out from his shadow to attack him, and he did not even notice it.
Knowing that he should be omnipotent in his abode, the Fire God immediately felt that something was wrong. Then, his face became somber: he discovered that the amount of Law Power that he could control was drastically reduced.
Additionally, the room he was in was sealed, preventing him from contacting the outside world or using the power of the abode to teleport away.
"How did you manage to infiltrate my abode?"
Unfortunately, the person did not say a single word. Plus, the situation quickly turned dire.
Nine more people appeared out of nowhere inside the room, and like the person that previously attacked, these people had an aura similar to Peak Title Gods.
The Fire God knew that if it was not the restraint of this world, these people should be in the same realm as him.
Each of these people was holding a jade in their hands, then, a strange circle made of runes appeared above the Fire God's head. Immediately afterward, he felt his strength rapidly being consumed.
Without hesitation, he rushed to the person closest to him trying to eliminate him. Unfortunately, the tenth person that was not part of this formation rushed to stop him.
A flame spear appeared on the remaining hand of the Fire God and clashed head-on with the Assassin. With the power of Law, the Supreme God had a slight advantage and pushed him backward.
Unfortunately, his access to the law was weakening drastically, on top of that, his divine energy and soul were also slowly being drained. What made him even angrier was the fact that his opponent displayed no desire to fight him head-on, but wanted to buy enough time until he was too weak to retaliate.
"Cowards," roared the Fire God. "Why don't you fight me like real men?"
Unfortunately, the Assassin merely sneered after hearing did and did not even respond to his taunt. As an elite assassin, he was trained to not only be a strong fighter in head-to-head confrontations but also to use any means to achieve his goal.
So, he did not care about this pitiful god's words.
Thirty minutes later, the Fire God strength was reduced to a True God level or Supernatural Realm. However, the Assassin did not immediately kill him. He waited a few minutes later when the latter was reduced to a mortal before cutting off his head.
The Fire God died full of grievance; he wanted to lure his enemy in and used a secret method to burn his blood and soul to use a powerful attack. Unfortunately, it was in vain.
Once he died, one of the people in the formation said: "For someone who controls the law, this person was too weak."
The others agreed with him. As part of their training, they have watched recordings of people who control law and even fought many of them–including Fire Law Beings.
One of the basic tactics of these people is to raise the heat in your body to an unbearable level. That way, you will either combust and die, or if you can resist this attack, your strength would be reduced drastically.
And if you can null all these, it is still distracting to be constantly taking into account the heat in your body, thus giving the opponent the advantage.
As for more powerful people that cultivate the Fire Law, some of them are powerful enough to burn all matter, space, other laws, and even time. Or they can use the mutual restriction of the element to begin to control the other Five Elements, or at least, add some magical abilities to their Fire Law.
Another path forward would be to cultivate the Fire Law to the extreme until you can turn it into Pure Yang Law which is more advanced. And if the Pure Yang Law is cultivated to the extreme, you can reverse yin and yang to gain insight into Pure Yin Law, finally, cultivated Yin-Yan Law.
Compared to these methods, the way that these Supreme Gods used or controlled Law is too rudimentary.
"Let's not waste time here and continue our mission," said the Assassin who killed the Fire God. "Our commander has taken a lot of trouble to provide us with enough information about the Heavenly Abodes so that it is easier for us to infiltrate them.
"Let's not waste her effort and delay the young master's grand plans."
This group then proceeded to the next target, and they were not the only groups sent on assassination missions.
The Earth God was assassinated by poison, the Dark God died from a powerful curse after discovering a mysterious item. He was too sure of his ability and did not think such a weak curse on the item could help him.
The Thunder God died while having fun in bed with one of his subordinate Gods. His Primordial Yang was instantly sucked dry, killing him without having the time to respond.
The Goddess of Dream was secretly fed a pill that made her enter a perfect illusion. Until her souls scattered and she died, she never woke up from that illusion.
Many of them died because of the sudden betrayal of their closest subordinate.
…
Supreme God Conference.
All the Gods looked around and first noticed that the projection of everyone more or less had some injuries, or looked like they just had a battle. Then, they looked around and realized that only 20 people showed up.
"So, without counting the Death God, 15 of us were killed in this assassination attempt?" said the Life Goddess with a hoarse voice.
No one answered her.
No one expected the current outcome. Many people assumed that the Outsiders would remain quiet for a while after taking over the Death God's territory.. This should have given them enough time to prepare and plan ahead.
