Luo Yu's shoulder shone with divine light from three radiant heads, his eyes observing all directions, his ears picking up every sound.
He took in every aspect of the opponent's offensive.
Simultaneously, his eight arms exploded with distinctly different powers, countering the attacks of the four Divine Children.
"Crack, crack!"
Two of Luo Yu's arms released pitch-black Yin Thunder and the majestic white Yang Thunder.
After flying into the sky, the Yin and Yang Thunder transformed into two thunder dragons, colliding and bursting into blinding light, forming a Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram before everyone's eyes.
The Diagram, infused with terrifying thunderous Divine Power, struck directly at the Solar Divine Child's white light sphere.
"Boom—"
The sound of an explosion reverberated through the sky as the white light sphere, filled with Sun Divine Power, burst instantly, sending a shower of sparks in all directions, while the Taiji Yin-Yang Thunder Diagram merely rippled, not slowing down as it hammered toward the Solar Divine Child.
"Not good!"
The Solar Divine Child sensed the terrifying thunder force within and rapidly retreated in the air to evade, but the Taiji Thunder Diagram relentlessly pursued him, locked onto its target. Each contact of his palm-released Sun light spheres with the Diagram led to their immediate annihilation.
Clenching his teeth, he wanted to join forces with the other three Divine Children to block it, only to find they too were at their wits' end.
The Sky Divine Child was chased through the air by two of Luo Yu's arms, releasing fire palms, soaring and spiraling.
The Death Divine Child fared even worse, being chased and struck by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword and the Ruyi Jingu Bang, both manipulated by four arms.
Even the Life Divine Child, tasked with healing, was bombarded by a beam of light bursting from Luo Yu's eyes until his chest shattered, leaving him powerless to resist and constantly invoking healing power to repair his injuries.
"Damn it."
"How could this be."
"The four of us Divine Children have joined forces, how could we possibly lose!!!"
As the leader of the Nine Great Pillar Gods, the Solar Divine Child felt utterly disgraced before the worldly audience, and yelled, "Stop testing this guy, let's all use the God Descending Technique together!"
"Alright!"
The other three Divine Children, the Death Child among them, immediately responded, and the void inside the arena vibrated as the ethereal forms of four mighty gods simultaneously descended.
Their presence gave even those hiding at a great distance, pinnacle First Grade fighters, the urge to kneel in worship.
"Boom, boom—"
The four Divine Children made their move in unison, drawing upon the might of the godly apparitions to bolster them against Luo Yu's attacks. While the other three Divine Children managed, the Solar Divine Child was blasted to smithereens.
He could never have imagined the Taiji Yin-Yang Thunder Diagram would be so powerful.
Seizing the opportunity, Luo Yu flickered into the void, turning into a golden arc of light and dashing toward the spot where the Solar Divine Child fell apart, immune to the thunder bursts. He waved his sleeve and began frantically plundering the Solar Divine Child's Source Divine Power.
"Get lost!"
With each particle of Source Divine Power struck, the Solar Divine Child roared in anger. The other Divine Children – Death and Sky – also joined the fray, while the Life Divine Child kept away, too frightened to approach Luo Yu.
"Hmph."
"I call upon the Great God of the Three Altar Sea Assembly, Nezha."
With a cold snort from Luo Yu, the Magical Treasures in his eight arms transformed, continuing the relentless absorption of the Solar Divine Child's Source Divine Power. One arm wielded the Hun Tian Ling.
The crimson Hun Tian Ling, like a phoenix spiraling through the void, wrapped around the Death Divine Child and tightly confined him.
On the other hand, the Sky Divine Child was struck squarely on the head by the Gold Brick; his skull shattered instantly, and a sharply extending flame blade further obliterated his chest.
Luo Yu surely didn't miss this moment and plucked several hairs from his head,
astoundingly transforming them into his clones before everyone, who darted toward the spot where the Sky Divine Child's body disintegrated, raising their sleeves to absorb the Source Divine Power—in awe-inspiring fashion that left everyone stunned.
While the clones didn't possess as much combat strength as the original, they were more than enough to absorb the remnants of the shattered Sky Divine Child.
Intent on stepping forward, the Life Divine Child was thwarted by Luo Yu, who threw out a pagoda that trapped him inside, whirling dizzily in the air. The pagoda, manifested by the Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations, twisted continuously as if someone was wreaking havoc from within,
yet it was incredibly resilient and remained unbroken for quite some time.
Soon, Luo Yu had collected ninety-nine percent of the power of both the Solar and Sky Divine Children.
All clones, carrying the absorbed power, returned to the original.
Only then did the Solar and Sky Divine Children have a chance to reform their bodies, but Luo Yu, afraid they might surrender, shattered the pagoda in an instant, along with the Life Divine Child within.
The Death Divine Child trapped by the Hun Tian Ling was given the most grandiose treatment.
All the manifested Divine Artifacts bombarded his body like no expense was spared, and with eyes wide open in rage, he had to admit to the difference in strength. He was unable to block the oncoming assault and split apart.
"Boom, boom!"
Luo Yu darted into the storm, waving his sleeve to draw all the Divine Power and Source into himself, and by that time, the Sky and Solar Divine Children had reformed anew.
They cried out in sheer terror, "We surrender; the Solar Holy City surrenders!"
"Referee!"
"We give up, can't you hear us!!!"
The Solar and Sky Divine Children, unable to formally surrender, let out roars of anger.
This spectacle shocked netizens around the world for a whole year.
Was this the same Solar Holy City that aspired to claim the championship, with the Nine Great Pillar Gods so proud and spirited before the contest?
Now reduced to such a wretched state.
Two Divine Children had been dwarfed, while the other two were utterly at Luo Yu's mercy.
Even the referee hesitated now.
