Chapter 632 — The Strongest in the Cosmic Sea and the Strongest in the Overlord's Domain
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 7 of 8
She could feel that the deterrent force within the orb of light had been compressed to its utmost limit—from a level capable of instantly annihilating Xuanxiao Peak, of shattering countless starfields and throwing the cosmos into turmoil, it had been drawn down to the god-tier level.
Yet this god-tier level was worlds apart from the god-tier level she understood.
Rumble, rumble.
Her beast-taming space, at this very moment, began to crack beneath that deterrent force. Within the phantom of the Eleventh Heaven, the form of a nine-tailed fox gradually emerged; the nine-tailed fox wore a panicked expression, its body trembling uncontrollably.
"Look, quick—Ting Yu of the Ting Clan——"
At this moment, Ting Yu's wretched state was projected across the starry sky. The powerful experts of Origin Star watched her, their hearts quaking. With those ancient prodigies slumbering and absent from the world, Ting Yu was the strongest god-tier in the Overlord's Domain today.
She was also the one people believed most likely to pass the Glory Challenge.
Yet even she, facing the majesty of a cosmic overlord, was struggling desperately, on the verge of being crushed.
Ting Yu's gaze was filled with a lifeless, vacant color; her consciousness had nearly collapsed beneath the overlord's majesty. In that moment, she seemed to have undergone countless deaths, to have watched countless starfields shatter before her eyes.
"As expected, still a bit short of the mark." The Kings spoke in the starry sky. Through the ages, countless prodigies had undertaken the Glory Challenge, but only upon truly experiencing that moment could one know how terrifying the lingering majesty of the cosmos's strongest could be.
It was not that they were too weak, but that the cosmic overlord was too strong.
The deterrent force before them had already been suppressed to the god-tier, but the god-tier in the mind of the cosmos's number one expert and the god-tier in the minds of these "ordinary folk" were inevitably not the same thing.
"A god-tier of the Eleventh Heaven, and utterly powerless to resist!" Countless experts were stunned. Even some transcendent gods felt shock in their hearts; even through mere perception, they were somewhat terrified, believing that they themselves could not withstand a deterrent force of this caliber.
Was this truly a deterrent meant to test the god-tier?
"So, have you found your direction now?" Old Man Ting Xiang watched his granddaughter from Origin Star. Many prodigies who had endured the cosmic overlord's deterrent had sunk utterly, their willpower extinguished—but some had found a new direction and grown ever fiercer. He hoped his granddaughter would be among the latter.
Failure was not frightening; so long as one absorbed the experience, it counted as success.
"Pfft!!!" In less than a minute, Ting Yu was violently vomiting blood beneath the cosmic overlord's deterrent. Her five viscera and six bowels and her very marrow were crushed flat; her beast-taming space had already collapsed by several layers, and she truly felt the crisis of death.
As her consciousness gradually faded, Ting Yu saw Shi Ying's figure. She could scarcely believe it, for Shi Ying was in far better condition than she was—merely pale of face.
Indeed, after witnessing Ting Yu's wretched state, most people also noticed Shi Jin, the man said to be the strongest god-tier in the Cosmic Sea today.
Compared to Ting Yu, Shi Ying was in far better condition—so much better it was hard to believe. Beneath such a long-standing deterrent, he still stood in the starry sky in his true body, showing little reaction at all.
Just now, people had assumed he was not truly enduring the deterrent, but on closer observation, they could see that the level of deterrent force he bore had been exactly the same as Ting Yu's all along.
"What's going on with this Shi Jin?" Countless people were astonished.
