Zhou Qiong's face changed drastically. He didn't even have time to beg for mercy before a black fist mark filled with murderous aura came into view.
He quickly mobilized the power of thunder throughout his body, and tens of thousands of blue lightning bolts burst out in the void, making him look like the God of Thunder.
However, when the murderous fist mark rose into the sky, the thunder in the sky shattered, and this straight punch hit Zhou Qiong's heart without any fancy moves.
A violent force erupted, Zhou Qiong's chest collapsed instantly, and his eyes bulged out: "Ah!!"
With a shrill scream, he flew backwards like a cannonball, plowing a terrifying gully hundreds of meters long on the ground, and finally crashing into a collapsed high-rise building.
boom!
Tall buildings were shattered, rubble and dust were everywhere.
Everyone in Dawn Blade looked at the scene in front of them in shock. They felt a chill all over their bodies, as if they were falling into an icy cave.
The few people who had spoken rudely to Su Mu before were so scared that their legs were shaking.
They never imagined that Su Mu, whom they despised, was actually such a terrifyingly powerful person.
When the flying dust slowly dissipated, Zhou Qiong's broken figure was revealed in the ruins.
"Cough cough..." He coughed violently. His broken ribs pierced into his lungs. His purple lips had already been stained red with blood. Some tiny fragments of internal organs flowed out with the blood.
"God... Divine power, you are... Holy Lord..."
Su Mu's eyes flickered. Divine power? Holy Lord?
Is this the name for a saint-level strongman who possesses divine power?
If you think about it carefully, Heaven's classification of these strong people is reasonable. After all, the Saint level is the pinnacle of living beings, and above that is Demigod.
If a Saint wants to become stronger, he can only rely on divine power. A Saint who has obtained divine power possesses power beyond that of an ordinary Saint, and is qualified to be called a Saint Lord.
In order to obtain more information, Su Mu pulled down his brown glasses, and a crystal blue light flashed in his eyes.
Now that Zhou Qiong was in a near-death state, it would be easy to use illusion to obtain information from him.
Zhou Qiong then said, "No... that's not right. Your divine power is too little compared to the Holy Lord. You didn't get the divine power from the corpse of a demigod. You... you are..."
His eyes suddenly widened with fear in them: "You are a follower of the evil god!"
Su Mu was not surprised to hear this familiar title. Even hell has evil god believers, so it would be strange if there were none in heaven.
Strictly speaking, the way he obtained divine power was indeed similar to that of the evil believers. He obtained divine power through the divinity bestowed by the gods.
The only difference is that his divinity was not bestowed by gods, but was seized by him himself.
It seems that the Holy Lord is a saint-level powerful being who possesses the corpses of demigods. All the corpses?
"Tell me everything you know about the Holy Lord."
"I say! As long as you can spare my life, I can join your sect and I can believe in God!"
"Go ahead."
Under the influence of the illusion, Zhou Qiong tremblingly spoke out the information about the Holy Lord.
As a powerful saint, he naturally has the most comprehensive information.
After a moment, Su Mu finally understood what the Holy Lord was.
Just as he guessed, the Saint level is the end of the mortal world. If a Saint-level strongman wants to be promoted to a demigod, he can only inherit the power of other dead demigods.
The law seems to end at the saintly level, and there is no such thing as God's law.
In other words, God is the embodiment of God's laws. Only when God dies can the later one inherit God's mantle and become a new God.
This applies not only to true gods like Xuantian, but also to demigods.
The Holy Lord is a saint-level powerful being who possesses some corpses of demigods. They are at the critical point between gods and mortals, and control the power of gods with mortal bodies.
As long as the Holy Lord gathers a whole demigod's corpse and successfully refines it, he can be promoted to a demigod!
The whole process is like a puzzle. When you gather all the pieces of a demigod, you become a demigod.
No one is sure how many puzzle pieces each demigod has. It depends on how many pieces these demigods were broken into during the war of gods.
The war between gods was brutal, even true gods fell, let alone demigods.
Many demigods had their origins shattered and were scattered between heaven and earth. Some existed in the form of corpses, while others were attached to objects.
But whether it is corpse parts or artifacts, these demigod origins, due to their strong divine death energy, will cause serious pollution and damage to the surrounding environment, just like radiation.
The area radiated by the death energy of the gods is the ruins of the gods.
The reason why the Dawn Blade led by Zhou Qiong came to this divine ruins was because they were ordered by the master of the Dawn Realm, the Lord of Dawn, to explore which demigod's corpse was in this divine ruins.
The Lord of Dawn is a holy lord who possesses part of the body of the demigod Our Lady of Mercy, whose body he has been searching for for many years in order to complete the puzzle in order to be promoted to demigod.
So he offered a high reward and asked countless god hunters to explore the ruins of the gods to help him achieve his goal.
Zhou Qiong is one of them.
As for the evil god believers, this was somewhat beyond Su Mu's expectations. The evil god believers were not popular in heaven. Instead, they were like rats crossing the street and had almost no place to stay.
The anti-God sentiment in the entire heaven is very high. The mainstream view is that God is the source of all evil and humans must eliminate God. As for how to eliminate them, the natural way is to obtain the power of God and become God themselves.
Humans who believe in gods become believers of evil gods and are not tolerated by human society.
"Interesting. The closer you are to the gods, the worse the lives of those who believe in them are. Could it be that the gods in heaven have really weakened to this extent?"
