"Cao Ya, die!" Odin's brother Nemora charged madly into the sky, wielding a high-level artifact that tore through the void, intending to obliterate Cao Ya.
Although he knew he was going to die, he was unwilling to live on.
Cao Ya pressed down with his palm, and with a bang, Nemora was blasted into a pulp, revealing a high-level godhood and two high-level artifacts.
Besides the superior artifact for material attack, there was also a superior artifact for soul defense. However, since Cao Ya's attacks were material attacks, this superior artifact for soul defense was of no use.
Generally speaking, artifacts can be divided into three categories: physical attack artifacts, physical defense artifacts, and soul defense artifacts.
The most common types are naturally the first two: material-based offensive or defensive artifacts. These are quite prevalent. Any god-level powerhouse, as long as they are willing to put in the effort, can always use their own divine power to nurture an artifact of the corresponding grade.
The soul defense artifact is extremely rare, and only those who are proficient in the soul can forge it.
Coincidentally, Odin's strongest form was the avatar of the god of death, and the rules of death are precisely those rules that are more inclined towards the soul.
Therefore, Odin painstakingly crafted a superior artifact for his brother Nemora, specifically for him, to defend his soul.
Of course, he also had one, which took Odin countless millennia to forge, but now it all benefited Cao Ya.
It should be noted that soul defense artifacts, especially high-level artifacts, are extremely valuable even in the highest planes or god planes, far more valuable than high-level material attack artifacts or high-level material defense artifacts.
As Cao Ya landed, he casually put the superior godhead and the two superior artifacts into his spatial ring.
Including Odin's godhood and artifacts, as well as Chester's godhood and artifacts, Cao Ya's gains in just one day exceeded those of the past millions of years. His wealth increased dozens of times over, and even if he went to Hell, he would probably still be considered a rich man.
Murder, arson, robbery—these are risk-free businesses that bring in money quickly…
Cao Ya sighed, but he would not indulge himself or cross the line. People like Adkins, Odin, Chester, and Nimora were all people who deserved to die.
"Oh right, we can't forget those guys." Cao Ya landed, stood in mid-air, and looked around, taking in all the dozens of god-level powerhouses who had followed Odin.
The gods were filled with unease and dared not look up.
The previous expectation that Cao Ya would be captured and that they would participate in his torture had completely vanished. They now only hoped that after Cao Ya killed Odin, his hostility would lessen and he would let them leave.
There was nothing they could do. Even Odin had been killed, so even if they all attacked at once, they were no match for Cao Ya.
As for running?
Who dares to run first? Whoever runs first will definitely be Cao Ya's main target and will surely die.
They all prayed that one of the gods beside them would have a mental breakdown and run away first, thus drawing Cao Ya's attention away.
Whether that guy lives or dies is none of their business.
Unlike the gods' terror, Walton, Deslie, and the others were both surprised and delighted.
Surprisingly, no one had ever imagined that Cao Ya could kill Odin so easily. In fact, they all thought Cao Ya would be defeated and killed. What made them happy was that Cao Ya had killed the "evil king" Odin and eliminated a great scourge.
"Bang!!!"
Gu Jia
Cao Ya suddenly made his move, unleashing a torrent of water-based divine power that swept across the sky, instantly blasting those god-level experts to dust.
"Ah~~~ Lord Cao Ya, spare my life!"
"Lord Cao Ya, we swear to serve you for life!"
The gods howled and begged for mercy, while simultaneously mobilizing their divine power and wielding their divine weapons, trying to break free from Cao Ya's encirclement of water-based divine power, escape the cage, and flee to the Arctic ice plains.
But now that Cao Ya has made his move, how could he allow even one of them to escape?
These gods who followed Odin and were highly regarded were all chaotic, evil, and utterly devoid of any moral compass or conscience—like beasts.
Otherwise, how could he have caught Odin's eye?
All of these people were killed. It can be said that none of them were innocent; they were all deeply sinful and deserved to die.
Rumble~~~
Cao Ya flipped his palm, and the mysterious water-based divine power, which was mesmerizing, flexible, yet extremely sharp, and carried an extremely cold chill, seemed to be able to freeze the void. After two waves of water crashing down, all the god-level powerhouses were silent.
Whew~~~
There was only a huge pile of divine beings and artifacts floating there.
Cao Ya flicked his finger, gifting Deslie and Walton several divine sparks and artifacts each, while keeping the rest for himself.
Walton, Desri, and the others were stunned for a moment when they received the divine essence and artifact, then quickly waved their hands and said:
"Lord Cao Ya, these things are all your spoils of war. We haven't been of any help at all, so we can't accept them. Please take them all."
Cao Ya shook his head and chuckled softly. The most precious items, such as high-level godhood and high-level artifacts, were already in his hands. As for low-level godhood and low-level artifacts, or mid-level godhood and mid-level artifacts, their value was greatly reduced compared to the former, and they could hardly arouse Cao Ya's interest.
So he decided to give some gifts to Deslie and Walton. Deslie had been kind to him, and although the debt had been repaid, giving him some more gifts was not a big deal. As for Walton, he was Linley's brother, so out of respect for Linley, he also gave him some gifts.
Those god-level powerhouses from the Magnolia Empire, on the other hand, have nothing left.
Cao Ya didn't know them. He simply disapproved of Odin and his group's behavior and was indignant at the situation. It was only because Desri and Walton came to him for help that he intervened.
Of course, for the god-level powerhouses of the Yulan Empire, the fact that all the evil kings and their entourage of gods who attacked had died and been killed by Lord Cao Ya was, in their eyes, the greatest favor and the best gift.
They remembered this kindness so well that they didn't even know what the Yulan Empire possessed that could repay such a debt of gratitude.
Lord Cao Ya may not care, but they cannot remain inactive.
After discussing it through telepathic communication, they decided to build a temple to worship Lord Cao Ya, which would gain popular faith and perhaps be of some help to Lord Cao Ya's cultivation.
"Haha~~ Desli, Walton, you can keep them. Those things are useless to me. When I get to the High Plane, I'll just find a place to sell them and exchange them for some currency." Cao Ya laughed, then turned into a beam of light and left the place, returning to the Seven Gods Mountain.
Watching Cao Ya's departing figure, Deslie, Walton, and the other god-level experts from the Yulan Empire exchanged glances and bowed several times in the direction Cao Ya had gone.
The latter, in particular, was met with great respect and utmost sincerity; it was gratitude from the bottom of one's heart.
