Zzzt!
A large amount of electricity surged upwards, transforming into a lightning pillar that blasted towards the sky.
But just as it was about to hit the Fifth Apostle...
A massive barrier suddenly appeared around the Fifth Apostle's body, enveloping it.
With a boom, the lightning pillar struck the barrier and was directly repelled, shooting skyward and gliding past the Fifth Apostle's body.
At the same time...
A beam of light struck downwards. As it descended, the entire space vibrated violently, and large cracks appeared in the surrounding spatial walls.
One after another, they resembled the gaping maw of a beast, appearing incredibly ferocious.
The beam of light lasted for about half a minute before dissipating into the depths of space.
Such terrifying power!
Even though it only tore a few small openings in space.
But this was the Divine Seat's space!
This was a space constructed by the Time-Space King, a space belonging to a god. Yet, it was torn open with a single strike. Its power was already terrifying enough.
If this were in a normal world, anything in the path of that beam would have been annihilated into dust.
Li Jiayi sprinted to the side, shouting at Bai Ye, "This guy's core body is very fragile. A single hit can easily destroy it, but its abilities are absolute defense and absolute offense."
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does absolute defense and absolute offense mean?"
Li Jiayi replied, "Its defensive barrier can block any attack, and its attack can penetrate any object."
Bai Ye exclaimed, "Then what's the point of fighting!"
Li Jiayi said, "It has a weakness: absolute defense and absolute offense cannot appear simultaneously. Therefore, the way to defeat this guy is to endure one of its attacks head-on and counter-attack at the fastest speed before it can deploy its barrier."
Bai Ye said, "Okay, you defend."
Li Jiayi: "..."
Damn it, he sure knows how to find the safe jobs!
Bai Ye spread his hands, "I'm not good at defense. Besides, can your attack be faster than my lightning?"
At this moment, Yimi suddenly spoke up, "I'll defend!"
Bai Ye looked at Yimi and asked, "Can you do it?"
Yimi replied, "Regarding defense, I happen to have some trump cards."
Li Jiayi said, "Then, I'll be responsible for the first round of attack. After the Fifth Apostle is attacked, it will definitely enter a defensive counter-attack state, and then we will both be responsible for defense..."
Bai Ye directly interjected, "Leave the attack to me."
Li Jiayi nodded.
Bai Ye said, "Action!"
Bai Ye prepared himself, entered an elementalized state, and then darted around.
As Bai Ye moved, large areas of electrical fields naturally spread out rapidly.
Li Jiayi slid into a stable stance, took a deep breath, and said, "Stargazer!"
Li Jiayi's Stargazer was a gun, a sniper rifle, an incredibly massive futuristic sniper rifle.
The Stargazer was entirely silver-white, with the gun itself reaching two meters in length. It couldn't be fired from a standing position, so Li Jiayi placed the gun on the ground, deployed its bipod, and braced the rifle stock against his shoulder, aiming at the Fifth Apostle at an angle.
"Hoo!"
Li Jiayi took a deep breath and then sharply pulled the trigger.
With a boom!
A large expanse of starlight appeared at the muzzle of the Stargazer, and specks of light began to gather. But at this moment...
The Fifth Apostle suddenly emitted a burst of light.
"This is bad!" Li Jiayi's expression changed as he said, "This guy is preparing to attack directly!"
This was not what they had discussed. The plan was to take advantage of the moment when the Fifth Apostle was in a defensive counter-attack state, when its barrier couldn't be deployed, and destroy it.
Who would have thought that the Fifth Apostle would directly attack?
Li Jiayi was completely defenseless at this moment!
Yimi immediately ran in front of Li Jiayi and clasped her hands together.
"Path of Blood Freeze, Shield of the Giant!"
A large amount of blood appeared in front of Yimi, forming a giant shield five meters high, standing there imposingly.
Rumble!
The next instant, the particle cannon struck the massive blood shield.
The immense impact forced Yimi to grit her teeth. The surface of the blood shield began to constantly dissolve, and high temperatures appeared around it, with the oncoming heatwaves being scorching hot.
Li Jiayi decisively pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the Stargazer spewed a beam of light that seemed to be condensed starlight.
However, there was an essential difference between a gun and a cannon!
Although it slightly slowed down the particle cannon's attack, it was only slightly. The only thing Li Jiayi could do was to continuously pull the trigger.
Li Jiayi shouted loudly towards Yimi in front of him, "Hold on, it's almost over!"
Yimi didn't reply, only gritting her teeth and enduring. Due to the high temperature, burn marks began to appear on Yimi's skin.
The giant blood shield in front of them was on the verge of being penetrated. Just then...
The Time-Space King imperceptibly raised his head and glanced at the Fifth Apostle.
In that instant, time seemed to accelerate by a few seconds, and then the Fifth Apostle's particle cannon gradually dimmed.
The opportunity was fleeting!
The attack had not yet completely ended, and the Fifth Apostle could not deploy its absolute domain barrier. The weakened particle cannon could no longer stop Bai Ye's advance.
Zzzt!
The sound of surging electricity echoed.
A current suddenly appeared, coiling upwards around the particle cannon. Just as the particle cannon was about to dissipate...
Boom!
That current struck the Fifth Apostle.
Just as Li Jiayi had said, the Fifth Apostle's offense and defense were terrifying, but its core body was very weak.
After Bai Ye's hit, he actually punched a hole straight through the Fifth Apostle's body, penetrating it completely.
The Fifth Apostle, floating in the air, plummeted downwards and then...
With a boom, the Fifth Apostle's body exploded, scattering into a pile of fragments. Wisps of black smoke slowly rose from the wreckage of the Fifth Apostle.
Bai Ye reappeared in the air and looked in the direction of the Time-Space King.
The Time-Space King said, "The Divine Seat's space has collapsed. Even if I wanted to stop you, I couldn't, could I?"
Bai Ye nodded, then took the lead and leaped out of the shattered space.
Li Jiayi supported the injured Yimi and followed closely behind.
After the three of them left, looking at the collapsing Divine Seat around them, Murumur flew to the Time-Space King's side and asked, "Why did you help them? If you hadn't accelerated time, they wouldn't have lasted."
The Time-Space King smiled and said, "Because I think I've found a successor."
Murumur replied, "That little kid who uses lightning? He is indeed quite formidable."
The Time-Space King said, "That's not important. What's important is that he doesn't seem to be from this timeline. Although I don't know why, it's actually a very fated thing, isn't it?"
...
