After the appearance of the Scepter of Destruction, the previously precarious Destruction Domain seemed to receive some kind of support, instantly becoming stable and even beginning to backfire on Ivysaur Domain.
"Super artifact?"
Seeing this, Qing Mu frowned slightly. How could a super artifact bring such a huge boost to the other party?
"I didn't expect you to have some knowledge. Not bad, this is my ultimate artifact, the Scepter of Destruction."
Immediately afterwards, the God of Destruction coldly said, "Qing Mu, you are quite proud that a mere mortal could force me to use the Scepter of Destruction."
Don't accuse me of bullying the weak. I'll give you time; you can unleash your full power.
Unlike divine artifacts, super-god-level artifacts come with the authority of laws, which greatly enhances combat power.
Especially for those below the God King level, if they can unleash the power of the super artifact, they may even be able to kill opponents of a higher level.
Therefore, having a divine artifact and not having one are two completely different concepts for a god.
Even among the dragon race, only the Dragon God's Heart, left behind after the Dragon God's fall, has reached the level of a super artifact. However, it is clear that the God of Destruction could not detect the aura of the Dragon God's Heart on Qing Mu.
Qing Mu calmly said, "Your Scepter of Destruction is indeed very powerful. After using the Scepter of Destruction, my current strength is indeed insufficient to crush you."
However, just as the God of Destruction was about to taunt him, Qing Mu's next words left him somewhat at a loss for words.
"but..."
Qing Mu changed the subject and sneered, "Who said my strength is only this much?"
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling ball of emerald green light slowly flew to the top of Qingmu and Venusaur's heads.
Almost instantly, an extremely terrifying aura emanated from the ball of light, its emerald glow seemingly illuminating the entire universe.
"What?"
Upon sensing that oppressive aura, the God of Destruction's pupils constricted. How could Qing Mu possibly still be hiding such strength?
Even if the Dragon God was powerful, he was already dead. It was a miracle that he could build someone up to the level of a God-King. How could he possibly be stronger than a veteran God-King like him?
After a while, as the light from that emerald green ball of light slowly dissipated, the God of Destruction finally saw the situation clearly.
It was an ancient, emerald-green stone slab, exuding an ancient and vast aura, as if it had existed since the beginning of time.
Wisps of emerald light slanted down from the green stone slab, enveloping Qingmu and Ivysaur below.
Bathed in emerald light, Qingmu and Venusaur also emitted a soft emerald glow, and their aura slowly disappeared.
It wasn't that Qingmu and Venusaur had become weaker; on the contrary, it was that Qingmu and Venusaur had reached a completely new level. People who hadn't entered this realm simply couldn't see through Qingmu and Venusaur's true strength.
Suddenly, Qing Mu opened her eyes and said coldly, "God of Destruction, you have every reason to be proud that you forced me to use the Emerald Stone Tablet."
"Go ahead and do it. I'm afraid that once I make a move, you won't have a chance to make one."
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction's expression immediately became somewhat strange. Why did these words feel so familiar?
No, that's my words!
Immediately, the God of Destruction laughed in extreme anger, "Use my words to describe me? So arrogant! It seems this stone slab, which came from who-knows-where, has given you a lot of confidence. Then let me see if this stone slab can support your arrogant behavior!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the God of Destruction opened it and spewed out a gray-black mist.
The gray-black mist spread extremely quickly, reaching the edge of the God of Destruction almost instantly, and began to help the God of Destruction erode Ivysaur's territory.
These black mists, known as the Breath of the End, are one of the ultimate weapons of destruction. Their effect is to ignore defenses and cause all life forms to wither away, falling into the category of accelerating entropy.
Even gods, once they come into contact with this dark gray mist, will age and die in a short time; it is an extremely terrifying killing move.
However, Qing Mu remained calm in the face of the God of Destruction's attack. His Venusaur took root in the void, drawing in endless energy.
Then, Venusaur's domain emitted a dazzling light, instantly overwhelming the Destruction Domain along with the Breath of the End, and began to expand rapidly at an incredible speed.
Before the God of Destruction could react, Venusaur's domain had already covered him, and his God of Destruction's Domain of Destruction and Breath of the End had already vanished without a trace under Venusaur's domain.
Then, the effect of the Annihilation Domain was activated. In just an instant, the God of Destruction's divine status was eroded, his divine power was exhausted, and even his body was scattered like fragments in the wind.
"No, this can't be! I didn't lose, I didn't..."
Even at the very last moment of his life, the God of Destruction could not believe that Qing Mu had actually defeated him.
Clearly... clearly not long ago, Qing Mu was just a mortal at level ninety-something.
Qing Mu watched silently as the God of Destruction dissipated, her heart unmoved.
In his view, this God of Destruction was no different from the people and soul beasts he had surpassed before.
If there's any difference, it's probably that the God of Destruction is a God King, which is almost the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent worldview.
Then, Qingmu said to Venusaur, "Venusaur, let's go back."
"Da na!"
Venusaur responded, then withdrew its domain, its size began to shrink, and it prepared to leave this place with Qingmu.
However, at that moment, two figures suddenly teleported to a spot not far from Qingmu and Venusaur.
